There was this from an interview a few days ago:

 

Spoiler

You can ally with either the Mages or the Templars, right?

 

That's right, yeah. It's one of the big branching decisions you make very early on in the game's story, and there are exclusive plotlines on either side of that decision, which is really cool - you can spend hours on each of these different sorts of plots, depending on which one you pick. But even cooler than that, not only does it have a rippling impact on the story, but you'll actually see the result of not picking the other one within the world.

 

The differences in enemy factions and perhaps the creatures you encounter in the world will change based on your decision. So there are two sides to the coin, which is neat because then you start thinking about different playthroughs, different styles and the pros and cons of taking those different decisions. And I think for many games in the past, you'd think: "What is the pro of taking this decision?" Whereas now we're actually saying: "Here's the pro... and also here are the consequences of that."

 

So apparently this decision is a lot more involved than we'd initially figured, and there's no safe third option.

 

Though I still personally think this won't have the overarching impact some people expect, such as being able to free all mages forever, unless it's done by the Hand of Plot. Gaider's said before that they learned their lesson from the OGB/Sacrifice mess and won't be fracturing the world into two completely irreconcilable states again. We'll probably see the impact of this choice throughout this game's story depending on who you side with at the beginning, but in the end the plot will reconcile everything back into one consistent track that can be carried forward with minimal conflict, the way DA2's ending did.

At the very least, I think in some manner, it will determine who you fight more of in the games enemies.

Mages join the Venatori if Templars are chosen, and Templars choose to utilize red lyrium if you choose the mages.

Aren't those Red Templars?

 

EDIT: And Samson?!

[Hellion Rex]

DAMMIT, I'M NOT READY TO PICK YET.

Yup, and yup.

[timebean]

Crap!  Now this hard!  i didn't realize how big that decision would be. I wanted to save the mage playthough for my second once (in which case, of course I will side with the mages).  To get a new experience, i suppose I will side with templars in my first as a human noble rouge.  But I am not a chantry fan...so...crap!  I will have to play at least THREE playtrhoughs now, just as a human.  Then all the other races...

 

Sigh...I will have no life because of this game!!!

[noxpanda]

In any case he still have lots of hope & pride with Templars. At one of the Gameplay (the Dalish elf lady meeting the advisor for the first time) he still proudly says that he knows what the templar can do (in a proud way).

Ooh interesting, i thought he said that bit with total contempt not pride. Always interesting to hear other perspectives

[Boomshakalakalakaboom]

DAMMIT, I'M NOT READY TO PICK YET.

 

Neither am I! This is going to be so hard. I do plan on siding with both at some point, but who to side with for my first PT? 

 

Yup, and yup. The on

 

Lol, I knew that suggesting Samson get reinstated in DA:2 would come back to bite me in the ass at some point. The one on the left isn't looking 100%.

Wait we have to choose sides again??? I thought the devs said before that they are not "forcing" you to choose sides if you don't want too... did that idea got scrapped or something?

[Hellion Rex]

It really depends on who I feel makes the best argument. Normally I'd pick mages, but I absolutely loathe their leadership at the moment.

[Boomshakalakalakaboom]

That's okay because this game is life!

Well, I'm not sure about this part. My Eengleesh is very bad due to overeating of stinky cheese. Ok, joke a part, it can be both... Not sure.

You are talking about Fiona?

[john-in-france]

Well I am going to choose based on my own roleplaying...I need more information....so I need DAI now!

 

My Trevelyan warrior starts pretty pro-Templar because of her family.

My Dalish mage is pretty pro-mage because she's used to the responsible use of magic.

My Dwarven rogue, is pretty neutral and very pragmatic.

 

I can't wait to see where the journey is going to take them!

[Hellion Rex]

You are talking about Fiona?

And Adrian.

Both sides have so many faults. I kind of feel like that no matter what I will just be picking the lesser "evil" rather than actually solving the conflict in a constructive way. But you're right, for me as well it will come down to who makes the better argument. I just hope that no matter what side we pick we can still ferret out the bad ones in our chosen faction. 

[Ryriena]

So we're being forced too chose sides again? Sighs going to have too change a few personality of my charcters. Ugh

Now, that would be a really interesting twist. Stop putting awesome ideas in my head, I'll be so disappointed if it doesn't happen like that now!

 

i suppose I will side with templars in my first as a human noble rouge.  But I am not a chantry fan...so...crap! 

 

For what it's worth it, the Templars aren't very hot on the Chantry right now either. They've been the equivalent of stabbed in the back and left to bleed out in the gutter by the Divine, so relations between the Chantry and the Templar Order aren't very... cosy. Cullen's sort of amused dismissiveness of the Chantry beeswax in that one clip we saw seemed kinda telling of how even the still loyal branch of the Templars may not think too highly of their mother arm these days.

[john-in-france]

Interesting, I though he was scathing about the Chantry, but proud of having been a Templar...they have been very clever with the voice acting

[john-in-france]

And Adrian.

Uhhh.....good point. Templar first playthrough then...

[Hellion Rex]

Indeed. I need to see for myself how both are conducting themselves at the moment, then I'll choose. I honestly can see myself siding with either group.

[Boomshakalakalakaboom]

So we're being forced too chose sides again?

 

I think it is more of a case where you are choosing who you will work with in the Inquisition. Do you want the mages help or do you want the templars? Kind of thing. Devs have stated that the actual mage/templar conflict will be solved quite early on in the game, if I recall correctly. But have never given hints on how you would go about doing that.

[Milan92]

I don't think I can choose. >_>

 

Guess it depends on which leader is the lesser evil.

[LolaLei]

So his sash around his chest is from his old Templar armor? Yeeeeeah, he's not managed to let go of his past yet. Bless him.
