Not a former templar or a failed templar but an actual currently in-service templar. It just ocurred to me that we've seen all kinds of angles on the mage side of the debate via our party members: born apostate mage, Circle mage who was fine with the Circle, Circle mage who escaped and became an apostate, Dalish mage, blood mage, opposed to blood magic mage. Yet we have not seen a really personal face on the templar side of the issue. It would be interesting.
I'd like to see a templar as a party member

Bethany explicitly says "I thought they all abandoned Lothering." I'm not misremembering anything.
Is this term referring to leaving to people behind, or to the act of leaving Lothering (while I know I am not as diligent on the lore as many of you, I am under the impression that the people of Lothering either left Lothering or were killed if they remained behind)?

They left before all of its people did, as they were gone before the Hawke family departed.
How much earlier? (Also, when specifically did Hawke's family depart, compared to the destruction of Lothering)
I'm curious of the timing of it (if you can point me to the specific dialogue as well, that'd be handy. Sorry I joined the thread late).

I don't see why a Dalish protagonist would accept the aid of a templar or a Seeker companion, given the history of the People with the Andrastian Chantry and the Templar Order
Does your belief that you don't see why mean that it would be impossible for it to actually make sense, or are there ways that it could and you just don't happen to see them at the moment?

I'd simply refer to have the choice to say no, like I did in Origins, rather than having to accept it.
Can you rebuke Alistair and deny him joining your party?
I seriously hope that companions it makes sense to kill on sight can be
In most cases I'd postulate if the number of companions that fit this element is more often than not, zero.

I'm aware of where Cullen's anti-mage sentiment comes from. Thing is, though, it's irrelevant. The experience explains why he feels the way he does, but it has no bearing on whether his views are morally sound or that a black/white view of all mages is justified.
What the the timing between Cullen's statement and Uldred's torture of him?

They'll be made Tranquil later on, it means nothing.
Are they made Tranquil by Cullen?

If he contributes, he shares the blame.
How does he contribute?

Sorry, but given the way certain unnamed yahoos managed to bork the timeline of their own story, I have no idea.
Wouldn't the timing affect his state of mind?

You mean like he had a chance to calm down between his torture from Uldred and the statement he makes about mages cannot be treated like people? Or... What do you mean?
Yeah, the main reason why I asked is because I don't remember where/when he says the line.
The closer it is to the act, the less time he has had to process what has gone on.
(although I believe the timing is some time after, from what someone else had told me).
