I hate/dislike the chantry so much in this game.
Main reason is i am against any kind of religion en the chantry reminds of the christians in medieval times.
All this time hearing bless the maker makes me wanna hit those people in the face.
They have there templars to hunt down "bad" that wont listen to them and lock the others up in a tower so they can keep them under controll
Knight templar and the pagans anyone?
Also they forbid other magic that they dont approve, preventing mages to discover new helpfull spells with blood magic.
Again alot like the church in old times that burned witches for there dark magic (research).
Alot of other things i can say but i wont as i probaly offend alot of people then.
I must say tho they did a good job with giving this a medieval feeling with this but more reason for me to hate the chantry.
Hoping to 1 day be able to play as darkspawn and slay them all.
Now my only concern is if my new "evil" char should do the chantry board Q for the gold or not.
I share you dislike of the Chantry. They're a bunch of self-righteous, arrogant hypocrites. They claim that the Maker has love for all, yet they decimated the Elves simply because the elves didn't want to follow their ways. They then enslaved them, and now they treat them like second-class citizens, forcing them to live in terrible conditions. They claim that it was the Tevinter Imperium's fault that the darkspawn were born. Of course they'd say that. They hate Tevinter. How else could they make the place look bad? How does the Chantry know how the darkspawn were created? I'm content enough to say that I don't know where the darkspawn are really from for now (unless, of course, Bioware never does actually tell us). Yes, there are indeed connections between the taint, the Black City, and the Old Gods, but that doesn't mean that the Chantry is right. For all we know, the Chantry itself could've created the darkspawn taint to weaken Tevinter so that it could be attacked. Perhaps the taint was locked up in the Black City, but someone ended up setting it loose. Maybe it was the Chantry, and they blamed Tevinter.
I almost want to burn the damn Chantries to the ground everytime I see one. I also love how they want to spread their influence all over the world, because if they succeed in this, the Maker will return to mankind, forgive them of their sins, and make the Black City "golden" again. Please! That's a nicer way of saying, "We want to conquer the whole world, and then nobody will ever oppose us!" I wonder what will happen if they manage to spread everywhere and nothing happens.
As for the whole Golden City myth; there is nothing to prove that the Black City was ever golden. It might've always been black. A demon itself once said that there is no Golden City. Naturally, given how cunning and deceitful demons are, it might have simply been lying, but since Bioware likes to surprise us, the demon might have been telling the truth. The mage Avernus says that he can see the Black City when he dreams about the darkspawn, so there is obviously a connection, but that doesn't mean that the Chantry is right.
The only thing I like about the Chantry is how they deal with mages. It may be cruel and harsh, but it's the only way to make sure that mages don't use their power in an irrational way. In fact, the incident that takes place during the game that results in abominations and blood mages running wild only proves that the Templars need to be much more strict in running the tower. I guess the blood mages didn't consider that mages in the future might suffer now because of them. But, then again, it's human nature; always doing what we want without regard for others or the consequences. It seems to be a lesson that we never learn.
But, yes, overall, the Chantry needs to be wiped out and replaced with something less annoying and much less egotistical. There shouldn't be a religion at all. You know who the people need to worship? Themselves. Don't worship a God or some deity, or constantly pray for his/her mercy when you're in danger. Trust in yourself, and you can succeed at almost anything. I saw lots of blessings and prayers being made before the battle of Ostagar, and look what happened there.
