In every single conversation throughout the game, you will be forced to express your undying love of waffles.

No. No, you won`t.

Waffles vs Pancakes.

The true war has come...

French Toast comes in as the third party and trounces both. Although Waffles was likely winning beforehand.

Yes, Thats right fight amongst yourselves. You'll all be too weak to take on the Crepes when they arrive.

Silly crepes, you can not match the power of breakfast sausage and bacon.

I have it on good authority that breakfast sausage and bacon are some of french toast's most steadfast allies.  Nary an appearance of French Toast occurs without sausage and bacon covering the flanks.

Imprisonment is slavery. There is a reason your rights are forfeited when they lock you up. If you are arrested and imprisoned, the government can do whatever they heck they want to you because you are a slave, property of the state. And before you mention any Bill of Rights stuff, Guantanamo Bay.

Lets not go here because it's a muddy, muddy water. In actual reality, this statement is incorrect. Prisoners and slaves are very different, even if their rights are restricted to the point where arguably they have forfeited all of them. There's a reason why different words are used, and it's nothing to do with it being a euphemism because one word sounds less harsh than the other.

If you want to use stricter definitions of the word, a slave could be argued to be a subset of prisoner. That is, a slave is a prisoner, but a prisoner is not necessarily a slave. So "Imprisonment is slavery" is not correct, while "slavery is [a type of] imprisonment" would be.

I personally do not feel that mages are slaves, but the idea of possibly unlawful imprisonment and persecution out of fear is certainly a concern. The idea of some people having access to these sorts of powers in a world where one may not have them is certainly a worrisome thing. IMO this is an example of the "moral dilemma" because both "solutions" are potentially less than ideal. Unchecked mages could easily pose a huge risk/threat to all those that do not have magic power (as seen in the Tevinter Imperium), while forced confinement prevents them from having many of the same freedoms and liberties other people would enjoy, through no general fault of his or her own. It's a born, ascribed trait that cannot be ignored.

Hence why I appreciate the situation. It makes me think.

It is, but apparently we're talking about Qunari physiology now.

Hmm, you need a Qunari smilie.  The closest we have so far is .

That is a Qunari smile, isn't it?
