No it doesn't. It just says that fervent belief in the Maker is the primary recruiting quality. it's hardly mutually exclusive with having a moral core.

Yes I know it's the primary recruiting thing. I said that on page 2-3. here's what it says:


In reality, the Chantry's militant arm looks first for skilled warriors with unshakable faith in the Maker, with a flawless moral center as a secondary concern. Templars must carry out their duty with an emotional distance, and the Order of Templars prefers soldiers with religious fervor and absolute loyalty over paragons of virtue who might question orders when it comes time to make difficult choices.

Now sure, you can occasionally see someone who may be both of these things, but the fact that the Chantry and Templars care more about religious zeal than they do about morality says that the Order of Templars is composed more of fanatics then they are of sensible people.

Templar so steriotypical as well (the only good apostate is a dead apostate unless they are a captured apostate so that we can cage or tranquil them). I guess part of the entry level skills for Templars has to be that you're a blind bigot with no mind of your own and an ego to go with it. (I"m the king of the sword and shield!! Bwa-ha-ha!)

You're not far off actually. Templars are recruited primarily for their religious zeal because the Chantry considers a good moral compass a secondary concern.

I dunno, I met some awfully nice Templars in Dragon Age Origins. They just seemed to go crazy in Kirkwall -- like everyone else.

But what if that other guy dieded?

She's a Qunari assassain.  Her job is to kill people well. I think she felt bad about it for about 5 seconds.

Like the Templar and the Dalish mage. Not keen on Tallis. Enjoying the show very much, however.

Me, this.

That is kind of their job.

P.S.  Another thing I don't like about these first three episodes is that, like so many other movies and tv shows, etc. these days, the man is portrayed as a buffoon, constantly bested by the female. I am sick of it. Men are not buffoons.  Men are smart, intelligent, wickedly handy and can be utterly loyal and devoted to something in which they believe or to someone whom they love. I am sick and tired of seeing men portrayed in art as less than women, less smart, less loyal, less creative, less, less, less.  It needs to stop.  Neither male in his so far measures up to the female. One is devoted but clearly weak. The other is strong but clearly not as smart as she.  That doesn't hold my interest.  As a woman, I want a hero, not a smart a**, female who constantly puts the guy down.

I want to watch the movies/TV shows that you watch...it usually seems to be the opposite, i.e., males are typically portrayed positively and women are the simpletons or 'eye candy'.

Have you seen that horrible commerical for some  phone company where the wife is going "I shoulda married so-and-so like my mother said,"  and the guy responds with "I got it for free." or something similar in a  "I'm a beaten to the ground worm" voice.  What person would want to buy product from the worm and his b***h of a wife?  

There are so many commercials like that--the husband is portrayed as stupid or weak or not handy and the wife comes to the rescue to save the day!  If I were a guy, I would be insulted.

I will give you that when men aren't being portrayed as boobs to be laughed at they're portrayed as psychopaths or thugs. 

I would just say to the series writers that you don't have to make men less to make a woman appear strong. I would rather have strong, intelligent male role opposite the assassin.

And an assassin, usually, is someone who must be highly organized, and usually stealthy?  After all they aren't berserkers!  They aren't soldiers. Their job is to  murder others well and usually quietly. Or at least professionally.  Look at Thane in Mass Effect 2.  Now there's an assassin!

I agree with you Carmen on the principle.

Absolutely. My sister would say exactly the same, it's funny.  She wants strong womens, but not because the male companion is a joke. Well except in funny series as well.

Just watched first episode, they act way too modern. Voices and actual words especially.

How did Dragon Age people sound and speak in your world?

Honestly, those "webisodes" sound like someone speaking today. Not like someone from hundreds of years ago. Which Dragon Age does, at least a million times more than that.

Have to agree... while I sort of enjoyed the show, it did not capture the feel of Dragon Age much at all for me... and it definitely felt too.... "modern" .. as was mentioned earlier. Decent fantasy-themed show but nothing special and certainly does not capture the spirit of Dragon Age for me personally.

[LadyDrusilla]

I'm enjoying the series so far, it is nothing scintillating but neither was The Guild for the first half a dozen episodes.

Personally I think it is doing a decent job of ccapturing the feel of Dragon Age. Seeing something go from animated graphics to low budget live action can often be a bit jarring, I do wonder if people are expecting a little much. Also apart from a couple of interior shots all we've really seen of the world is the Dalish camp which I thought was spot on.

I can't say I felt the Templar was portrayed as a buffoon, either. Alistair, now there was an (adorable) buffoon.

Lots of continuity mistakes...

Like, Templars can actually marry.

Or... Phylacteries being able to weaken a mage... Unless I missed something in the lore?

Maybe templars can stay married if they were married before taking their vows.

I personally am finding the series a little hard to get into though...

Oh man, I love Felicia and the Character Tallis!!!! This DLC and the serie are the best :-)

[Chris Priestly]

Episode 4 of Dragon Age Redemption is now available. Check it out.

[megski]

I can't wait to see how it ends!

[LadyVaJedi]

This one is very lack luster.

[brain_damage]

So this happens during or before Act II(Nyree talks about summoning demons who can destroy the qunari in Kirkwall). Therefore MotA must happen late in Act II or during Act III?

[IRMcGhee]

Quite enjoying this, lots more than I thought I would. I think they've captured the look and feel of Dragon Age well enough, especially given the limitations of a web series.

[Super_Cat]

Hey, Nyree said she fought along side Cassandra.

Do you think Nyree will show up in Dawn of the Seeker?

[cihimi]

Not bad.

You understood what she said? Years and years of english philology and I still can't understand her gibberish.

I  was able to make out a few words here and there. She mumbled and jumbled and stumbled her words.

It's a pretty rough accent, but I got most of what she said. It helps if you're at all familiar with Warhammer 40K, because she sounds like one of Da Boyz.

This recent episode of Redemption confirmed a suspicion I had: Tallis acts a bit more abrasive in the webseries because the last time she did the right thing, she got punished for it by the qunari.

I watched it twice, and I could understand her ok. I think it would be cool if she showed up in dawn of the seeker.

How about Cairn though? He confuses me, one minute he's kind of charming then he's about to saw some one's finger off. Kinda freaks me out.

And Josmael is cute as a button! He was adorable in this episode.

[IRMcGhee]

Cairn's obviously from the Kirkwall chapter
