You can cling to your delusions if you want but the fact is the templar order deserves the death sentence for their actions. any knightly order that behaved like that in medieval times where burned at the stake. Your playing on the perspective of the templars. you should really focus on perspective of the inquistor. the one one that is trying to fix the mess. the fact that the templars attack the inquistion marks them for death.
So, the mage's aren't and won't EVER attack the inquisitor either? The way some of you pro-mages try to justify their actions is quite amusing.
Because mages are not snorting red lyrium.
There's a good chance, based on the Inquisitor's actions, that the more extremists of the mages would attack the Inquisitor.
What it ultimately comes down to is, the word is literally on the brink of collapse, and everyone wants to save THEIR world. The templars/seekers who followed Lambert want to force mages back into the Circles since they, and many pro-templars, all they see in mages and magic is danger, while the pro-mages and majority of mages will fight tooth and nail to protect their newly gained independence since all they, and many pro-mage gamers, see in the Chantry run circles and the templars is abuse and complete lack of morals.
If the Inquisitor starts supporting one side or another, or even one completely different faction like the Qunari, the templars and mages would see it as an end to the world they want, and will fight tooth and claw to make sure that doesn't happen.
Sadly true. What I hate is the whole "Us versus Them" mentality. Why can we not all sit down, shut up, and rationally discuss these topics to broker a compromise?
Both sides have issues, and both sides are needed to fix the problem so that we do not end up in another war in the next decade.
I've tried in the past. Even made a thread devoted to honest discussion and findin a compromise gamers would be willing to live with. Problem is, some people like Lotion on the templar side, refuse to compromise on anything like letting mages visit families, and absolutely insist that there was nothing wrong with the system in he first place. Others, like MisterJB insist there's a mage overpopulation problem and doesn't want to compromise on letting mages having the right to have and raise their own children, although he is willing to allow mages to visit families in supervised visits. But on the pro-mage side, people like Xil call for the complete extermination of templars, or at least get templars completely removed from the process of governing Circles entirely, and won't settle for anything less than a complete capitulation on the part of the templars because she sees the whole system as flawed and irreparable.
Needless to say, that thread got derailed pretty quickly because compromise that all sides could live with seemed to be highly improbable. The rights the pro-mages demanded be given to mages weren't even considered by pro-templars because of "what-if's" and "that's a dangerous idea," and the ideas of the pro-templars weren't even considered by many pro-mages because their solutions still had the templars in charge of everything since they felt mages couldn't be trusted, period, to help govern anything concerning mages themselves.
