@al0u: Asunder shown clearly that the recent events have changed at least partially the opinion of the common folks about mages since DA2. The templars will probably gain more support than you think.

It depends. We don't know yet how much the red templars are known in the common public. I'd wait until we have more info before saying anything on the matter, though I do believe that the templars will be affected negatively by the red templars.Martyr1777 wrote...

Until a band of Red Templars (which your average joe isn't going to know the difference) somes along and destroys their village.

If we're going to try and argue 'realism' then the Templars covered in metal would all instantly be killed by one mage who would electrocute them all in three seconds. In a realistic situation it would take almost no effort at all for a group that can shot lightning out of their hands to kill group of walking lightning rods.
Well not if they have own magic that turn off lighting or just neutralize that.
I was unaware the Templars can think faster than electricity. Since the Templar magic nullification has always been portrayed as a conscious effort they'd all have to think faster than the mage or they'd all instantly die.
Not to mention that 'realistically' mages wouldn't be physically weak unarmored people. They'd all be like the Tevinter mages who are armored up just like their Templar counterparts. Since 'realistically' there's nothing stopping a mage from also working to become physically strong or wearing armor. Ever mage should 'realistically' be an arcane mage because there's nothing actually stopping a mage from being able to do everything a mundane can do plus magic.

@al0u: we don't know what exactly the Chantry wants to do. They might still want to find a compromise between the two groups.
Beside, if some of the common folks are anti-mages, they might be convinced that the Chantry is following the wrong path. While religion is a powerful tool, the templars could use it as well. Remember that they separated themselves from the Chantry, not the religion.

They might lose the help of the religion if the Chantry distanced themselves from or even disavow the renegade Templars. In that sense, the Chantry holds the upper hand. I can easily see Justinia trying to do that, as she tries to do some major damage control.hhh89 wrote...

I agree that the Chantry's has the upper hand, though I'm not sure on what Justinia will do. And that's without considering the Chantry's situation. While it seems from what Bioware said that it'll survive the initial event, we don't know if and how it'll be damaged.eluvianix wrote...

I'd have to talk about Asunder to respond, but I prefer not to, since it might be considered spoiler and you have to read the book.al0u wrote...
I don't know... I could use "the First Enchanter of Kirkwall turned into a huge abomination and tried to eat the face off of every Templar that opposed him" to get myself some pretty big sympathy and support... the right person would have to be telling it though... is there a Rasputin-esque leader capable of enthralling the masses within the Templars or Chantry?
