David Gaider: I don’t think we’ve ever presented the idea of a mage revolution as being the best answer with an obviously good resolution.

It is very easy to pick sides when you ignore everything that does not support your impulsive predisposition. 

I don't ignore it, I just don't care.

In the real world, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many things possess the ability to kill me, or kill a lot of people at once. Electricity, for instance. Radiation. Cars.

Like these technologies and more, the dangers of magic are proportional to its considerable benefits. If the Chantry and its adherents want to cower in fear of it like ignorant cavemen, that's their business. I'm more intereted in leading Thedas out of its primitive quagmire.


And in Dragon Age, the Circles exist to both maximize the positive effects with training and minimize the negative with containment. 

I'd hardly call that primitive. It's pretty intuitive risk management.

All templars who do not break with the Order's position on imprisoning mages are villains. Nothing any game says will change that.

Wow...It's like you don't get that Templars are meant to work with mages...:mellow:

He's taking about the movies. If he just watched the last 2 seasons of clone wars he would not say that.

Which is the problem.  They are meant to fountions with the templar working with the mages not br judge jury and slayer.
The fact that it not working like that means it's falling apart.

I never knew any of that could mind control a person or summon a demon that could bring corpses to life to ravage a town.

If you feel that mind control is worse than cancer, or being murdered outright, or that demons are worse than gasoline fires or nuclear explosives, then feel free to stay in your cave.

^^ Aren't you against tranquility when it and mind control operate on very similar if not the same level of morality?

Don't do this bioware... I will seriously kill every mage if you do this.

No, because mind control is, or at least can be, temporary.

Pick Orlais -> Elves gain full rights as citizens, Mages return to Circles.
Pick Tevinter -> All elves are enslaved to pre-Andraste levels, Mages gain full rights as citizens and join lower nobility status.

None of these things are "out to get you". And neither is magic. It's a natually occuring force in the world, it has no moral value.

That was not addressed to you, but as of now, tranquility can be undone.

Someone needs to learn their are worst things then death.

Would you want to be alive is so much despeir, tomments and pain that you want to die or would rather die.

That's being forced on and flogged to nearly the point of death and then be nursed  back to heath so they can do it again or chopping block...

Either way, elven mages become the supreme rulers of Thedas.

Elven mage supremacy! :devil:

You'd think so, but they keep doing things that get them in trouble.

Just like every Keeper and major Dalish Mage we've seen so far. :P

On the contrary, the Circles have no interest in the former. The Chantry deliberately restricts magical research.

And they failed at the latter.
