In my ending (everyone's ending?) it is mentioned that the Templar have split from the Chantry, but continue to do their work. In my opinion, this could be an oppurtunity to present an order that has been potrayed as either psychotic or completely spinless in a new, interesting light.
So far, the closest we have experienced to having a Templar companion is Alistair and Wesley. Alistair is an ex-Templar who is not only quite disparaging about the Order, but was really thrown into the group and never really felt comfortable with their creed. Wesley seemed to understand very little about the Templar's role in protecting human life, by attempting to arrest Bethany when an entire party of civilians were attempting to escape the Blight rather than keeping an eye on her for later. Even Aveline bemoans the presence of paranoid, misguided Templars in Kirkwall (albiet, they're Meredith's extremists).
Though I understand many Templars may not get to see a lot of action, due to their posting being primarily in large cities, the new Chantry-less Templars are perhaps more seasoned warriors. In this dark, post-DA2 world it seems every sword will be bared, and the Templars are primarily a military order. A Templar (or perhaps even one of those stealthy Templar Hunters to buck the stereotype?) companion that balances strong, military sense and zeal would really interest me.
Am I misguided in how I've read Templars written through the games? Is anyone else interested in seeing Templars portrayed more like the ultra-compentant, Abomination-slaying thin, red line?
