Almost certainly.


Yeah im trolling like your arguments that mages are powerful despite they lost their most fight but sure...

The tevinter empire proves they are pretty powerful. They only lost because they were weakened by the first blight.


And even then put up enough of a fight to largely pick their terms of surrender.

How do you know Tavinter hasn't developed anything in the past 2000 years? We haven't been there after all. I tend to believe that Tavinter is well a bit too much like the sith empire. Every mage is so obsessed with their own power that they rarely if ever share their knowledge as the social system promotes constant struggle.


Sounds like capitalism.


Then it's accurate, since capitalism promotes selfish pursuits for power(capital) and the hoarding of knowledge along with stagnation, since anyone who takes the risks of promoting change is attacked on all sides by oppurtunists looking to demolish their competition.

At least my understand of american capitalism and it's relationship to technological innovation.


Capitalism thrives by sharing the fruits of knowledge, actually. If a Magister discovered a way to flat out make possessions impossible or extremely hard, he would make a killing selling it to mages outside of the power structure as well as foreign mages.


Or we would sell a false version and keep the real one for himself, making him the most powerful magister and upping his chances for being made archon.

Just like I'm sure if apple found a way to complete immunitize a computer from viruses, the first thing they'd do is share it with microsoft and not pattent the hell out of it and make it so it only worked on apple products.

They never even lost in the first place, and they were actually starting to push Andraste's armies back.

You're right: "unreliable argument" is a very good way to describe your ignoring the fact that this key looks a lot more like a spell than a magical artifact. Or have you somehow both forgotten that we see him use it, and failed to notice most of the people in the conversation pointing this out to you?

Thats old arguments between us we were arguing about normal mages not blood mages and i even agreed with your statement about blood mages.

It's just an empowering moment. Corypheus used to be one of the most powerful leaders of an Empire where non-mages were nothing more than prized cattle.

I did enjoy seeing my mage knock the crap out of him, and my sword and shield warrior smack him in the face.

I point out what's wrong with theories all the time. Some are stupid, some are good but for one detail, and some are as likely true as not. That's not the same as ignoring people who point out legitimate flaws with your own.

Something tells me that if you felt that fight was aggrivating, then you would hate "I wanna be the Guy Giaden".

What I'm saying is that with a revolutionary product, there's more money in keeping the monopoly on it going strong then selling it to competetors so they can make their own versions. And in a society where every mage is competition, it can lead to a lot of resource hoarding for the sake of accumulating a power base.
