The GI coverage didn't favour at all the mages. The PAX demo shown the RT attacking, not the templars.Well it slightly favors the mages tbh hence the title of this thread.
You (as many others) don't think templars (even those at war) don't have sympathetic qualities. Bioware might not feel the same.So presumably they'll be working overtime to actually give said templars some sympathetic qualities out of thin air? Could be interesting, but we'll have to see.
Well I was talking about a new nation where mages are royalty not tevinter.
Would love nothing more. Managing the amoral mages would be a top priority as would keeping the rest of Thedas off of "Not Tevinter's" back.

Oh! Well in that case, that would amazing!
What annoys me about people who dislike Tevinter is how they always point out that it's mages take slaves, I don't think it matters if you're a mage or not, rather the kind of person you are. I'm sure there's many mages without slaves? Anyway, just thinking out loud.
But yeah, I love love loveeee Tevinter, down to their preference of the color black. 
so a new nation that resembled that but didn't have all the "evil" in it would be faaaaabulous.
I think the templars are going to be split into 2 groups the one that supported lambert and went insane sniffing red lyrium and the templars that still support the divine.
I think lamberts red templars are just going to be enemies. The thing is while templar supporters are still saying tat mages are dangerous (they have a point) they never managed to convince me that the templars are not equally or even more dangerous then the mages. We have already seen thatt he templars can be easily corrupted with lyrium. now with the split from the chantry and deprived from their lyrium we can see how long these holy warriors stay holy.
I actually saw it as the Templars breaking into three factions, personally.
The ones who stayed with the Divine.
The ones who left but still maintain ethics.
The ones who left and disregard everything except their duty to kill all the mages and become the Red Templars.
It's been asked earlier in this thread what guarantee pro-mages can offer to prevent the rise of another Tevinter, or asked what we would do.
So in a completely non-mocking question. For those who are pro-circle or pro-templar, say you can regulate Circles and mages as much as you want, what would you do to keep both the mages and non-mages safe? And how would you address the mages concerns about their lack of rights or lack of ability to have families?
And how would you deal with Lambert or Meredith?
Lambert would be appointed the head of the newly formed Templar order to guard over the reformed circle and Meredith would given the respect that position deserved in such a time, maybe a statue, unsure. If she was still alive, i would remove her from her position of Knight Commander of Kirkwall.
LOL
They're the Nwo!
With Red Templars as the Wolf Pack.
Oh! Well in that case, that would amazing!

O_o So giving absolute power to Mages wouldn't result in mass enslavement?
How does that work?

The same way giving absolute power to any other group wouldn't result in it.

By the magic of a world ruled by good intentions, raining glitter, and lollipops.

Yeah. I think the enslavement to quote Anders "has more to do with being a magister than a mage." For example, Orlais nobility owns slaves, and they aren't mages.
You (as many others) don't think templars (even those at war) don't have sympathetic qualities. Bioware might not feel the same.
Bioware has been pretty Adamant on giving both factions their reasoning for this war, I doubt that would change overnight.

...It usually does though.

I think it depends on their character. That's all I'm saying. It'd be amazing if almost every mage that was in power didn't get crazy power-hungry and enslave an entire race, but that did happen, I'm not saying it wouldn't. It already did.
What I'm saying is, in current day Thedas, I don't think you just get a slave as you become a Magister like a welcome gift, I think it depends on the person in question.
edit: one could make the assumption that have a Tranquil mage is like owning a slave, ie: Meredith and whateverhernamewas.

I believe the proper term is "servant", if use a different word it changes the entire nature of the reality.

Wait are you saying they have paid servants and not slaves? (sorry! i'm genuinely confused lol, hard to tell tones)

If you play as an Elven Warden, Leliana says that they own elven slaves.
Lambert is presumed dead because Cole approched him and said "look into my eyes".
Everyone else hearing that line from Cole is dead.
Also, wasn't Fiona a sex slave to a Noble in Orlais?
Indeed she was. A child sex slave no less. Until she killed the monster.

Both
But I was actually making a comparison to the alleged mage 'prisoners' that many hate to call what they are, slaves.

Meredith turned herself into a statue, so that's an easy one. Of course, if you want to break her into bits so that your fanatical fundamentalist jihadi red templars can get their fix and replace her with a more flattering likeness in (mundane) stone, I'm sure that there are many, many pigeons in Thedas who would love the opportunity to show her the respect she deserves.
Given that Lambert seems to have gotten exactly what he deserved from Cole and is therefore now dead, you'll probably have to find a new paranoid fanatic to head your dead-end thugs.
Having absolute powers always corrupts as fenris said mages have too much power already tevinter is best example how mages will end having freedom or just opportunity.
So it's safe to say there's more than "servants" in Orlais.
when it comes about slavery in orlais one noble as had slaves and tallis killed him.

Like it has corrupted the nobility of Orlais and Templars.
