I played as a mage in my first playthough and almost beat the first act. But as i was doing the side quests, it seemed to me that noone in kirkwall recognized i was a mage. I mean i have a templar standing infront of me and and saying all mages should be punished, and he doesnt realize im standing infront of him with robes and a staff. He seems to think im NOT a mage, UNTIL i tell him. Thats the stupidest thing ive EVER seen.

very poor decision bioware, for this im wanting to restart as a warrior because bieng a mage doesnt go with the storyline. <_<

I agree. The oblivious nature of Kirkwall people is just ridiculous when it comes to that.

yeah that always kind of bothered me even in origins.

Who else walks around in a colorful robe and a piece of wood strapped to their back and a silly hat on their head. Its why I preferred the mage armors that were not robes, it kind of fit with the whole apostate in hiding. Seems to me the best way for a mage to hide would be to just slap on some leather or plate, they could walk right out of the Gallows.

Most of the times, Hawke does say to people he or she is a mage later on.

I just imagine that im not wearing the actual armors when talking to people, but just normal clothes, or that the armor looks like clothes normal people would wear in the game, despite what my eyes tell me. also i absolutely despise the mage hats.

That's what I think. Anyway, just look what Hawke wears...they're not actual robes, unless you put him in robes.

lol those mage hats are horrible. I'm glad you can toggle hide them.

Sadly the mage hats actually look pretty good in comparison to the DA:O hats.....

When you come to the attention to people who'd actually be willing to confront you about it, like Knigh-commander Merdith, they overlook it. She specifically told me this at a point. the only reason I'm allowed to be an open apostate is becasue of what I've done for the city by then.

and how would you explain the darn staff on his back. 
"Oh look! he has a staff on his back, but he cant be a mage..... "

Considering the static nature of most of the game? Being a mage makes almost no sense. This game plays on a very VERY linear plane and directs you to 1 conclusion without the usual wiggle room that makes it feel like you changed anything at all. Due to that... letting you be a mage was a poor choice. Especially with how nuts Meredeth is and how much she dislikes you she could have made a stink and tried to have you captured so you were no longer a thorn in her side. Allowing otherwise didn't fit her character.

It gets worse when you consider that all the Templars you deal with. Most of them believe like Wesley did, but God bless that guy he had a wife who kept him grounded. In the end this would have been an AWESOME expansion, but for a sequel it fell flat a few places that make you scratch your head at how it got overlooked.

i look at it as just one of those things.. if they didnt have a mage class because of this reason people would complain about the game more then they are already

We play a game, where we can enter the fade, fight demos. Where a lady turns into a dragon and picks you up. Where Grey Wardens drink blood and those who live, are part of an elite community. Where people have a perfer they refer to as "the maker" and you are saying mages do not fit in?

I think may be miscommunication, it's not that mages don't fit. Because nearly "all' the story is about mages and templars, building up from the very start. It's that people should take notice when your a mage or offered more choices. Mages do have some ablity in interaction, though it would be nice to see people greet you in a tottally different manner and tone based on if you were a blood mage (though they really couldn't tell) or if you were a mage or a warrior

[Hellosanta]

Since you just beat the first Act ... I won't do much spoiler, but at the end of the game, it appears to be that templars have known that you are an apostate.

[OmegaBlue0231]

Agreed. Everyone in the game was like, "Hmmm, a staff, robes, and he can shoot out lightning.....I wonder if he's a mage?"
