Sorry if I offended, moto.
And I agree that he isn't "KILL ALL THE MAGES!", but he does support the right of annulment in the end (he does seem reluctant about it, but we don't know anything about his actual thoughts on the matter) and I don't see anything in the game that suggests that he's left the "mages aren't people like you and me" views behind. I mean, he might have, or he might do so after the end of DA2, but it isn't expressed in the game at this point.
All I'm saying is that the character is certainly open to be almost anywhere on the mage freedom! - mage extermination! scale at this point. Being disappointed if he leans heavily one way or the other is fine and dandy (I prefer him to be more templar than middle-ground for instance), but I don't agree that it's "regression" since we don't even know where he stood to start with.
You don't want him to have the particular flaws that he did in DA2, and that's fine. I just said that I don't agree, I want him to be flawed and those work just fine for me.
This isn't strictly true, though. We do know what he thinks about the Right of Annulment because Hawke can ask him what he thinks. He questions directly Meredith's use of the Right of Annulment in the pro-templar ending
when the three mages try to surrender. Of course, we don't know what he would do independent of Hawke's interference (since of course, it's the PC's game), but in this scene we see very clearly that he doesn't think the mages should be killed. He thinks they should instead be watched, citing his experience in Ferelden as being much worse. So although he's been following through with Meredith's orders to execute the annulment, he does override her in that scene. Plus, this isn't the
only doubt he shows at the end. So, I think it would be a stretch to say he's still "rawr, kill all the mages," or even kill all the Kirkwall mages, based on the evidence.
Of course, those lines of his *could* all be red herrings from the writers, and he could secretly still be the hardliner, don't let a single one survive, like he was during Broken Circle... but that's not how I would extrapolate the existing data.
edited to add: Now, I'm not saying he wouldn't support the use of the Right if it were warranted... I'm just saying that he shows evidence that he doesn't think it's warranted in Kirkwall that day. Just as I see him still being pro-Circle at the end of DA2, I would also see him using the Right when all hope is lost.

Retour en haut
Forgot to add... with ME's soundtrack 
Angst just gives me another excuse to eat chocolate.
I'm level 19 atm and I'm short on RC but when I manage to level up myself a bit I'll try to nab him. My pawn is also a mage, and I usually go for a party of 2 mages but for a moment I'm rolling with a fighter and a warrior and I'm enjoying it a lot. My ID is killmequickly1, that's my boyfriend's sense of humour... <_<
