So, my goal after watching the introduction to the advisors is to find some way to both convince the templars to help suppress the breach, and convince the mages to help me power up my fade-hand. Pleeeeeeease let there be some sort of compromise option this time!
Sadly, it doesn't seen it's going to happen. I'd like the option to make them ceasefire and form a temporary alliance (with some cons howewer. I don't want this choice to be the best one) since I'm neutral in the conflict (and first character will be external by default).
It does make sense We don't have the Power or influence to make the force an alliance. We're not that strong at the start of the game, and We don't have any powerful backup on our side.
I just hope that in choosing either side I can clearly state I'm neither pro-Mage and pro-templar though.
