Meredith was under the corruption of the lyrium idol.
I didn't know it at the time
And yes, there wasn't a good side. They're both grey to variable degrees, degrees that we decide ourselves, based on either our real-life standpoints or the POV of the characters we roleplay.
Would you agree that ourch choice of side says a little about ourselves?
Not necessarily. My first playthrough, I was pro mage all the way. When Anders blew up the Chantry, I was shocked and almost executed him. But I decided to stand with him and see it through to the end. At this time, I was still thinking siding with the mages was the right thing to do. I battled the demons, and figured they were pushed over the edge, like they said. Then I got to Orsino. Like you say, I didn't know the extent of his culpability. At this point I was sure I could talk him down. Then he admitted he knew about Quentin, and used his research to become the Harvestor. At this point, I'm thinking Fenris sounded like a crazed lunatic throughout the game, but now he was starting to make sense. Then Meredith goes ballistic with the lyrium idol.
Second playthrough, I played pro-templar. It was not difficult to side with the templars, the second time through. Was I conflicted about siding with Meredith? Definitely. She's not exactly someone that is easy to side with. But I took Cullen's stance on it. When I reached Quentin's foundary hideout and reread the letter from Orsino, it took a whole different insight.
I was actually hoping this would put an end to the argument, but now I see that I need to take some serious action...
This is a kitten. Whether the kitten is under the influence of a lyrium idol, innocent or, in fact, an insane blood mage is disputable.
Would you kill it?
