LOL I know! You know... this makes me start to think that somehow we're interpreting all the dev comments on the Inquisition wrongly. That there's more connection between them than we think and we got snowed by some very careful semantics.LolaLei wrote...

Oh man. My brain hurts thinking about this. Good point. If the Order no longer serves the Chantry, would they adopt its iconography? Hmm.... I don't know. I suppose no longer being under the Chantry's authority doesn't stop them from being Andrastean, right? The original Inquisition was Andrastean after all, which is why they joined forces. Plus, their original logo, if the Inquisition heraldry file in DA2 is to be believed, was very Andrastean (Maker's sun, Andraste's flaming sword, eye of truth). On the other hand, they might want to distinguish themselves in some way, so could use a new logo/uniform to do that...
Gah... too many open questions!
If I hadn't seen the survey leak then I would've presumed that the rebelled Templars would've reclaimed their Inquisitor symbol.

I'm not keen on the fur, but the rest of it is cool. I wouldn't mind seeing him in light armour, or a casual outfit.

I've been wondering this too. I mean, we could be missing something really obvious here. Mark Darrah said that the Templars and the Inquisition weren't related, but in the same breath also said that they are...

Argh, okay, nevermind. Downshifting to my Cullen has taken on a second career theory, as a pool boy and part-time model after a talent scout saw his work on a templar recruitment poster. The rest, as they say, is history...LolaLei wrote...

Maybe, although that'll still be too pro-Templar for a lot of people. Plus, that'll mean it's still Chantry based to some degree and they said we wouldn't be forced to work for them.

Maybe that's why he has the change of uniform. Breaking away from the Chantry and owning their own place in the world.
That's something that puzzles me about his survey leak concept art. If it's legit, then he's pretty much wearing what looks regular "everyman" armor, yet his little skirty/flappy bits shows the Templar insignia on it. Now, is that how all the Orlesian Templars dress (Which contradicts the concept art of Orlais which shows Templars wearing the same sort of uniform as the Kirkwall ones), is he now a rebelled Templar, thus not wearing the Chantry provided uniform anymore? Alternative did the rebelled Templars decide to keep the uniform, thus him not wearing it any longer because he remains Divine loyal?
... Or perhaps he's wearing special companion armor, thus not wearing his fully uniform since he won't be "on duty" but is still wearing the Templar insignia just to show that he is one?

Here's the thing...I think last year, they found papers in the Vatican, proving that the court was a little one sided. But that the Pope had the main guy, can't remember his name. Head of the Templar's on trial. Then, the Templar head honcho denied any of those rumors. He described their actual rituals, for the first time to the Pope. Then, the Pope set them all free. Not long after, because of the war that was going on, the Templars were then handed over to Spain. And they were all killed off. Rumor has it that some escaped and that their traditions carry on today.
As for the armor....I'm still thinking the the Order breaks away from the Chantry some how and they design their own uniform. Staying loyal to the Maker and Andraste, but in their own way. It would be interesting to hear if they slowly remove Lyrium, or if the senior members are stuck taking it still.
Like in my fanfic, I hope they use blood magic somehow to remove it from their blood stream. Makes an awesome contradiction.

probably old news, (at lest 14 hours) but I was scanning my Tweets and Stephen Fry mentioned that some friend of his, I think the guys name is Greg Ellis or something, is participating in the Nautica South Beach Triathlon to raise funds for St. Jude's hospital

How interesting would it be if they set themselves up in the red lyrium biz, it becomes the new street crack, and that's how they fund their newly independent operation without all the Chantry tithes.LolaLei wrote...

I bet the rebelled Templars end up taking red lyrium... or that could just be wishful thinking, lol.

Right! And, they could always refine it so it's not as potent, and say things like, "Oh, what happened to Meredith will never happen to us! We've done x, y, z, to make sure that doesn't happen. Harumph."LolaLei wrote...
I'm half expecting something like that to happen. Either some Dwarves end up selling it to the Templars via a 3rd party, or the Templars go and find it themselves and end up taking it Obviously it would take a while to drive them insane since it's not the red lyrium idol, and they'd be taking small doses every few weeks. But it would make them more formidable opponents... before they blew up or whatever.

Somebody needs to be angry at the Chantry !

I don't know I imagine Cullen being extremely frustrated by the whole thing ...
Like "hey guys guess what?after years of killing mages , the divine now want us to hug them..."
...and then Cullen killed a cute bunny in a fit of anger and wore it as a reminder that from now on he's his own man.
