A few people before disagreed with my assumption that the mage-templar issue was going to be a major concern along with the veil tears. Not only has Bioware supported this idea a few times, but i feel it would be a massive missed opportunity to not invest a significant part of the story to dealing or resolving the issue and to bring some sort of climax to it (assuming it will come to a halt after DA:I). 

 

So what's your take on the Mage-Templar issue? How do you think the conflict will effect your inquisitor (potential allies, gaining party companions, etc) and how do you think it will effect the world of Thedas as a whole.

I think it's going to be enormously important. I think I remember reading somewhere (don't quote me on this) that the mage vs non-mage conflict was the original idea for the whole series. The entire final act of the second game is dedicated to it, as is Asunder which sets the stage for DA:I. With it having such a central role, on what else will Thedas jump to blame a tear in the veil?

 

Also, take a look at the companions:

• Seeker of Truth, Right Hand of the Divine
• (nearly) First Enchanter of the White Spire

and possibly Knight-Commander Cullen. That could be some particularly heavy party banter.

Well it's going to be part of Inquisition.

Though I'm not sure the Inquisitor will try to solve the issue...maybe working for a truce ?

Or recruit people who just don't wanna be part of the conflict.

 

It's probably going to be a hot topic anyway because in theory this problem is not just about templars/mages.

The Chantry lost its army...for example it was used in an Exalted March to fight the Qunari.

Orlais used to be the most powerful country ,in part thanks to the Chantry.

And the dwarves from Orzammar are surviving by selling Lyrium to the Chantry/Tevinter.

 

To be honest I'd rather deal with all the biggest consequences of a system falling to pieces after a thousand years,than the whole templars/mages shenanigans.

Well heck, i hope the mage-templar situation will take noticeable place in inquisition. especially due the events that took place in Act 3 of DA:II, and the fact that almost all of DA:II was purely about the mage-templar conflict. so i'm sure while we're taking over keeps and storming strongholds, i'm pretty sure we might even be thrown in another "PICK A SIDE" situation. if i'm not mistaken it's not gonna be the main plot-line which is a bit disappointing to me since i love fantasy political corruption, but oh well. it'll play a big role. uvu

Well the job description of an inquisitor is to keep watch over problems pertaining to both mages and regular people. With the potential danger from red templars, blood mages and extremists of both sides, it may be smarter to try to resolve some smaller issues (not all of them) before tackling the veil tears or else one mess could effect the other

[The Baconer]

I think it wouldn't make much sense for it to not be a significant conflict, even if it isn't the central one.

[General TSAR]

There's going to be more Mage Bandits that's for damn sure. 

 

Plus the underground Lyrium trade is going to explode thereby causing rival smugglers to start killing each other. 

 

Also I think the Qunari might begin moving forces and setting up camps in preparation for a massive offensive into Heartland Thedas with the war and unleashing the old ones.

What I was trying to say is I doubt the Inquisitor is going to solve this conflict and bring a solution to the table.

We're going to kill red templars and blood mages that's for sure.

 

The past Inquisition began after Old Tevinter crumbled and things got pretty chaotic...they calmed everyone down .Then when everyone was bruised , tired and ready to talk ...the Inquisition joined the Chantry and formed the templars/Seekers.If I remember correctly that's when the Circle system began.

 

Besides this time , it seems the Inquisition has a main goal :the Fade Tear.

I'm not sure there is time to reform the Circles , or convince everyone mage freedom is a brillant idea.

We'll see.

[The Elder King]

It'll be a main quest
of the game, but not the central quest. Like the 4 main quests in DAO.

Agreed i can easily see them dealing with the veil tears quickly and immediately preparing for another invasion, it would be a great setting for DA4

I'm sure it will take a big role in inquisition, however I believed Mike Laidlaw said that they would like to make more games out of this. So I think the war will be dragged out till the next game, or it will be finished in this game and the next game would be like the Reconstruction era after the American Civil War. How big of a role I've been hearing more about the veil tears then the war itself. I think the war will number 2 on the list.

I think this is one of those problems that isn't going to have an easy fix and will always be in the background of the series.  I don't think the narrative should wrap it up in a nice little bow the way ME3 lets you fix all of the galaxies major political and socioeconomic problems.  I think it should be something the Inquisitor has to contend with and work-around the same way the Warden had to contend with it. 

 

I do hope we don't have to contend with another game (or anime for that matter  ) chock full of psychotic blood mages and sociopathic templars.  It should more subtle than that.
