Mages should rule over mundanes with Iron Fist. Those peasants need to know their place.

For Tevinter Imperium!

Mundanes needs to go home and get their shinebox so they can start polishing our shoes, robes, and our finest Tevinter staffs. We can't fight in battle with dirty staffs. We want our staffs shiny ;)

I would like to preface this post by saying that I'm quite new to this debate and have yet to decide one way or the other.

I have yet to see a single bandit destroy an entire town on his own.


Loghain Mac Tir started a civil war, hired an escaped blood mage to kill Arl Eamon, allowed slavery to occur in his city, kidnapped a templar who was doing nothing more than to do what he was suppose to do, Betrayed his king and the Grey wardens, and had both leaders (King Cailan and Duncan) killed because he did not play his part in the battle. He frames the Grey wardens and put out a bounty against them. 

It's safe to say that Logain is far worst than a single bandit, and he caused far more damage then just an entire town. Instead of working together with the Grey wardens he fought against them thus prolonged the Blight. That means more deaths and slaughter.

Loghain is not a mage but a mundane.

Loghain was also a rich man in power. He isn't comparable to any bandit. A mage, on the other hand, doesn't seem to need riches nor power to be a loose cannon.

I think most of us templar supporters are joking. At least I am when I say "burn all mages!" and I actually want a circle system back but one that's fairer on mages.

And TheKomandorShepard, it's not sadism since it did serve a purpose. Maybe some of the templars in Kirkwall were sadists but then so were many of  the free mages who were also blood mages.


It is sadism because it doesn't serve a purpose killing mages is less di*** quicker and less expensive than that solution so only reason behind this is deliver individual fate worse than dead so person who want to do that have serious issues. 

I seem to recall Feynriel favouring the idea of "sleep[ing] without dreaming, never hear[ing] a demon's whisper" as "a blessing as great as standing at the Maker's side". Clearly it isn't as simple as you're trying to make it seem. I can only assume that some people would in fact prefer life as a Tranquil to death.

Yeah 2 freed mage literally begged for death instead being zombie again and well being indoctrinated by chantry with their bull isn't helping some peoples prefer be tevinter slaves does that mean it is better fate?

Oh, okay! Yes, you're right! Two against one - clearly death is the ONLY viable choice and anything else is HORRID EVIL RAPE!

Also, if someone does prefer slavery to death, who are you to say that they're better off dead? That sounds like a really dangerous attitude - in fact, it makes you sound like Sister Petrice.

I don't see why someone prefer eternal torment instead death unless person is screwd up that same for being empty husk if cured then they start beg for death so well...

And you know this is the case for everyone in every situation? Also, just because you can't see why someone might prefer it doesn't mean it doesn't happen or that it's somehow an invalid choice. I don't know what being Tranquil is like, and neither do you, so how can you call it "eternal torment"?

Again, you sound like Sister Petrice.

Again, how would you know everyone regards it a fate worse than death? How many Tranquils have we really seen become aware of the Fade again? Also, since when is death a pleasant picnic?! It's a "pick your poison" situation!

Some people might say that living in the shame of being a cowardly deserter is a fate worse than death. Yet some people do opt for that decision - are they "screwd up", and is that an invalid choice?

2... and that they begged for death than being zombie again speak much of that. :blink: And summped up that finely with " Also, since when is death a pleasant picnic?! " it seems that it is more plesant thatn being zombie.

LoL if you compare deserter to zombie fate well i don't think that i can have sensible discussion with you.:pinched:
And yes saying that requires being brainwashed because when it comes about death and living normal person with go for living except situations where instinct takes over that.

Two people is about as good of a basis as nothing. How can you make such sweeping statements based on only two people?

Also, I'm not the one saying the great shame of desertion is worse than death; it's people throughout history, primarily in other forms of society, who say that.

I cannot parse your last sentence.

So you say.  I guess that must mean it's true, right? Yeah, Feynriel did seem like an insane lunatic, didn't he?

Also, I assume you mean Pharamond chose to be made Tranquil, then, because I don't remember that ever being said of Karl, and I haven't read Asunder.

Well as far i remember he was scared as fu*** in that moment and he can quickly snaps out if you tell him to put himself together then he back to normal so yes he was insane because of fear and panic.

Karl was forced by arlik...

I can only assume that your definition of "sane" is "at ease", then. If so, why is a decision taken while not at ease somehow invalid?

Well not entirely correct because anger and other emotion don't mean incorect decision but when you drunk with emotion to crazy level then you start make insane and bad decisions that same when you are tool for someone.

example is panic when you should be calm.

Fair enough, although he certainly does seem to calm down as he considers Tranquility when Hawke talks to him.

Not sure what you mean by being a tool for someone.

Well he isn't calm down because he only wants that if you tell him too quickly when you talk with demons that this is demon then he panic if you will do that slowly in the end he is calm and says that he can control it.

here have if you do quest right

Why would Bioware offer such a choice? What would it gain them, other than pissing a lot of people off and screwing their franchise over?
Bioware designs stories that gets people emotionally invested and presents hard choices to them. That's how they make money.

Giving the player a choice which is close to genocide (anybody else noticed how close linguisticly "tranquil solution" is to "final solution"?) in order to make the world more boring and takes out both flavor and playability just for the sake of a shock effect is so obviously stupid that I can't imagine any rationale to do so.

Interesting. I actually don't remember ever getting that outcome.

That said, the fact remains that we have two examples to go on, which hardly represents all mages everywhere.

Yeah I remember now. Loghain worked ENTIRELY on his own, he certainly did not have THOUSANDS of followers and hencmen, all willing to do is bidding. Nope... Loghain Mac Tir singlehandedly fought the entirety of the Bannorns forces in the Ferelden Civil War, and won! Indeed Loghain Mac Tir is the single most powerful mundane to have ever existed..........................

Now... Can you please stop disproving yourself in the very first sentece? I said ALONE, and you in yout first sentence mention Loghain hiring others, effectively making him NOT alone........

To be honest im annoyed when devs desperately try make my game dramatic by forcing emotions to my character when simple i don't care (like they did with hawke mother) i don't fell that are hard choices it should be pragmatic choice vs moral choice not drama and drama choice.If i want chop mages because they are danger for me and end problem with them game should allow that not force me to be dramatic when i have to choose between dumb choice and dumb choice. Best example is redcliffe quest i could say not my problem and i don't care not so hard choice.;)

Well it's not mind rape either unless this is your definition of it.

That's the first time I've ever heard someone liken tranquility to rape. It's an evil thing but it's neither sadism nor sexual.


Well it is sadism that serves no other purpose than kick dogs something i will rape your wife and then burn her i could kill her immediately but nah im screwd up so i will choose option that gives more suffering with smiliar effect. 


Imposing tranquility on an unwilling mage would be similar to rape because it is imposing your will to violate and inflict harm on another person.  Rape is a crime of violence, not sex.  Sadism is deriving satisfaction from inflicting harm on others.  I think the analogy is valid.

@TheKomandorShepherd - Your posts have become much easier to read and you're making your points much more clearly.  Well done!
