Ok but you won't like "Mereanders"

Neither really.

But the lesser evil seems magi

Ahhhh. I see the apprehension in his twinkly eyes.

Not really but i'll throw you a bone anyway...

I'm pro-templar. Though I do believe that mages deserve more rights. They shouldn't be locked up in towers unless they are criminals. I have more to say on this topic that deals with why I side with the templars, but I don't think this is the right topic to discuss them in.

[Loyal Tevinter]

I'm pro-mage.

[Xilizhra]

Aren't there a zillion other threads on this board, on all of the DA2 boards and probably the DAO ones as well, that you could use to discern this?

I'm not even going to answer you, I'm sure you can figure it out.

Mages showed at the end of DA2 they're hopelessly moronic - and I saved more mages siding with the Templars than I did with the Mages.

YOu mean Templars showed in the end they're hopelessly moronic. If you kick a shaggy dog enough, it'll bite and kick back. What, you think that Mages LIKE being prisoners? You honestly think that any mage backed into a corner and about to die would CARE what others thought of them turning to blood magic to survive? It's a damned if they do and damned if they don't. At least with blood magic they stand a chance to get away, Judgmental pricks like you be damned.

People may think Anders went a bit off the deep end with the zealotry.... but most didn't live their lives in the circle. He did. He saw the circles for what they were and made a stand. There was absolutely no way you could reform the circles without starting a war; the templars are far too entrenched in their thinking to 'allow' new ideas.

Like me...or my character in the game?

In real life I could never support a group that tries to get their views across by doing the exact same thing people are concerned about them doing.

In game I could never support a group that turns to blood magic before my very eyes. Yes Templars are wrong - but so are the mages. There is no clear cut choice here. Which is why I metagamed my final decisive choice.

There was no way to reform the circles without majorly changing the Templars, and they weren't giving up that power without a hell of a fight probably over decades. 'Slow' reform won't do a thing, because Templars would just fight tooth and nail like Lambert did. The only way to get meaningful reform was to start a war. Anders succeeded in that.

The mages were in a damned if you do and damned if you don't. Blood magic is only 'evil' and 'wrong' because TEmplars don't know how to deal with it. It's magic like any other, just a lot more powerful than fade based magic.

People like you and your judgmental attitude are exactly why the circles rebelled.

Pro-Templar. The needs of the many and all that.

[HTTP 404]

I hate them both.

[labargegrrrl]

i'm pro-CHANGE.

obviously the old system doesn't work, the checks and balances keep falling apart, and both sides have gone absolutely nuts because it imploded on itself.

a very good lay definition of insanity is doing the same things over and over, but expecting to get different results.

Once again...like me...or my character in game?

Because if its me - then we need to be having words.

If its my character - then my character is now leaning more towards annulment.

Pro-Mage all the way, all the time. A society that endorses slavery is a society that doesn't deserve to exist. Mages have the right to fight for and protect their freedom with every tool at their disposal.

But I don't think the game will really allow us to make this choice, I suspect the main focus will be a different conflict.

Pro-segregation.
I believe the current struggle between the two groups(more essentially, between mages and normal men) cannot be resolved due to the fact that mages are inherently much more powerful than average men, and the possible abuse or the lack of control over such power led to the current system, and the inevitable and ever-growing unrest among mages.
To be simply pro-mage will lead to a society like the Tevinter Imperium, in which the mages have their influence and power practiced unrestricted and without monitoring, OVER commoners. However, the inherent flaw to such system is as I emphasised: Magic shall rule over men, simply because the mages have magic and the commoners don't. if it's a society with solely mages, and power struggles that happen solely between and to mages, would there be as much "innocent victims" if the victims of the struggles are cruelly, but fairly defeated and suppressed by their fellow mages?
I believe this kind of segregation can be made after a treaty that ends the war.

The leaked info, with the possible summary of the game's plot, support an idea I had of what will be DA3's main plot. I hope it'll be what I think, though I don't know if people will like it.

Spiteful passive aggressiveness doesn't impress me, nor do 'internet bullies'. You are Pro Templar, I don't respect that stance. Deal with it.

You're blatantly wrong. Meredith kills almost everyone in that ending, whereas "many" survive in the mage ending.
