I'm sure this is somewhere else, but does anyone have any idea why "the champion's name became a rallying cry for mages everywhere, proof that the mighty Templars could", er, successfully annul a circle with the champion's support and, after the champion's execution of an insane Knight-Commander with the orders support (Cullen et al.), would continue to act as the city's kingmakers. Huh?! What story are you telling here Varric, cos it's not the one I saw...

Um. . . er. . . How dare you point out the badly tacked on US VS THEM choice out come for ANYTHING other than the MAGE choice. I mean its not like you expected them to write for the evil Templars just doing there job.

Ah, my bad then 
just in case I'd missed something, seemed a bit obviously lame to be left in deliberately. Almost as bad as recycled environments, except at least no-one would really notice them...

The difference between the two endings is that if Hawke supported the mages, he's seen as a hero who showed the "mighty templars could be defied," while siding with the templars makes him seen to be a villain who showed what the templars were capable of. I understand your point that in both, it's addressed that the templars could be defied, and it's relatively vague for the Hawke who sides with the templars.

I suppose the name would be a rallying cry in a down with Hawke sense, but how have the Templars been defied? They Annulled a Circle, this is a standard procedure, and the mages must have fought back then. The Templars don't lose anything. Even a change to "the injustices of the Templars were exposed, annulling a Circle without due reason" or something would have made more sense to me.

This is the game where an apostate Hawke could use magic in front of guards and templars, and they seemed to magically forget that they were witnessing an apostate using magic in the first place. If I were to wager a guess, I'd assume it's for the reason that the Rite of Annulment was called against the Circle of Kirkwall for something no Circle mage did. It's something that I would ask clarification for from David Gaider or another developer of the sequel.
