I really like Cullen, flaws and all, but if they make it possible for Cullen to romance a blood mage i will be a bit disappointed cause it would feel out of character for him ( in my opinion). I don`t even think he would develop a friendship with a blood mage.
Agree. Although it's been suggested before that we don't seem to have Blood Mage as a specialization anymore. There must still be some kind of blood magic, though, I would expect.
Personally, I think the very least he would do is leave the Inquisitor. I can't see him forgiving any acts of blood magic, especially after everything he saw both at Kinloch Hold and Kirkwall. The worst he could do? Leave the Inquisition, possibly try and kill you, though I don't think I could see him killing someone who he cared about so much.
I Can see him leaving the inquisitor in that case as well,although about leaving the inquisition I don't know for sure,since the head of the organization is a blood mage,extremely powerful in every way possible,I can see him remaining with the Inquisition in order to interfere in case something goes wrong.
Same with Cassandra,I think they are more likely to watch a blood mage closely than leaving.

If there isn't then I wonder why they've removed it?

Yeah, get the breach closed and then deal with the blood mage issue after.
My guess would be because of how controversial it'd be story wise. It'd probably need to include a lot more extra reactive dialogue to make it believable compared to all the other specs, lest we have a DA2 Blood Mage all over again.
We do have Necromancer spec though. Still sounds shady but to a lesser extent.

My theory is that the blood mage talent will get offered to necromancers/all mages at some point in the game by a demon or blood mage as part of a quest. I remember Mike Laidlaw saying during one of the panels that they wanted to make blood magic something to be feared with consequences for those using it, rather than just something you pick from the skill tree.

I agree that blood mage is more complext to implement in the game than the others, but if the specialization won't be relevant to the game (meaning that there aren't reactions in the game based on your spec), I wouldn't see the reason to remove BM. While this is more complex, specs as templar, Reaver, Necromancer should have some reactions and consequences in the game.My guess would be because of how controversial it'd be story wise.

I don't know if we'll ever have access to a blood mage spec itself, but I wouldn't be surprised if we have another situation like Jowan's optional blood magic ritual in DAO.
Even if the Inquisitor isn't a mage themselves, I'm sure the majority of the populace will probably begin to hate them anyway if they do it.
By the way, do you know from which chapter of Shingeki is your avatar from?

Reavers lore wise are not that different from blood mages I believe,besides the fact that they're not actually magic users,so it would certainly seem odd if this specialization is in while the blood mage one isn't.
As for the templars,this works out better since their abilities are only useful against mages and even then you must be in combat mode to actually use them,in fact the only thing that could be seen as an indication that someone's a templar is their armour.
I forgot about the changes in health regen. 
Yeah, if BM does end up being some sort of secret spec I hope it's unbelievably bamf because health management seems like it's gonna be a ******. 
The Reaver spec seemingly being in doesn't surprise me much because of how dragon-esque the Inquisitor keeps being presented as.

Interesting.
So a blood magic talent could be a reward for making a dastardly deal with a daemon.

I think that's also how it was done in DA:O, although I never played as one so I can't be sure.
Thanks for the info, I didn't recall this scene. I thought it was from one of the most recent chapters.

This so far hasn't been implemented gameplay-wise probably because lyrium being required for templars in order to use their abilities it has been retconed rather recently,Si it kind of makes sense why it wasn't required in the previews games. Although I'd like to see this in DAI,it'll make a potential templar playthrough more immersive.

I'd presume that warriors with templar skills will still be chugging back the stamina potions in-battle rather than lyrium like the mages, apparently they only need to take it once a week or so to keep them topped up.
That would look awesome as a framed print!

You're probably right,and so far I don't think we'll get a day/week/month calendar a la Skyrim,so I can't see that working out unless our pc gets the option to mention that he/she's been taking lyrium after using the templar specialization in a dialogue or something,probably with the person who teaches that specialization.

Agreed. I think abilities will be much more potent, but the costs and cooldown will be much longer.I don't think it'd be that difficult to implement. They just need a really long cooldown. It doesn't have to replicate exactly the week duration of lyrium.
