I can see the reason why the mages are so silly in a sense. They have no real world experience. They've been mostly sequestered and cloistered, so why wouldn't they get themselves into all manner of trouble?
It is kinda fun to see what daft things they end up getting themselves into time and again though, LOL!

Most mages may not have much real world experience which is why they follow someone like Fiona, a person who has had loads of real world experience. She failed them miserably by getting them into the mess she did which is why I feel terrible for them, how were they to know that she would lead them to such a disastrous end? I honestly think that sometimes, they would have been better off under Vivienne's leadership.
Have any of you guys tried MP yet? Its actually pretty fun
I play MP a fair bit. Mainly play as an elementalist but I’m fond of the reaver and templar too.
Re. the chance to talk to the Templars before starting their quest: that's in the first time you go to Val Royeaux. You see Lucius, he makes an outrageous speech that raises a thousand red flags, gets his sanity questioned by Friendly Neighborhood Good Guy Ser Barris, and then again by Cassandra. All the plot signals that there is something very wrong with the Templars are in that scene. Perhaps because it's too early in the game some people have forgotten about it by the time they get to Redcliffe? But you do get the same forewarning for both sides.
Wow, I really don't remember Cassandra saying that. Just, "Lucius was sure acting weird!" or something. I think you also don't actually know that the Templars are in Therinfall until you choose the map marker do you? Maybe in the conversation after Val Royeaux? I've also had a problem where both map markers were only showing green once, and the other times just the mage side with "DO THIS NOW" and giant arrows pointing to it. As the player, I had to know to choose Champions of the Just instead of the green foggy thing.
(Yes, still not a completed playthrough for me, but I've done each of those at least twice each. 
)
Guys I just got a screenshot that will hurt...how I wish this screenshot would had been a part of the Mages recruitment questline...
This is one of the really good screenshots I have taken...now only if I can actually get it to post here without the error saying that the community does not accept it...

ANYWAY. Carrying on before this becomes one of those discussions... 
I do find it amusing how nothing you do in regards to the faction recruitment actually makes Cullen happy. He's mad if you free the mages, he's grumpy if you conscript them, he's grudgy if you ally with the Templars, he's mad again if you disband them... after going through all four possible outcomes of this thing and having Cullen dislike every choice you can possibly make, I'm kinda just throwing my hands up with him and going what do you want from me?????

Want me to post it up for you? Just PM the image over to me on here.

He was fine with me when I let them join the Inquisition of their free will, it was Leliana that told me off for it LOL!

How do I PM you? It says you only allow certain users view your account, lol! Or can I still PM you regardless? I never really PMed too many people.

Here's Zarro-Morningstar's pic of Cullen:
This is from his nemesis quest, right?
Ha, yes, Cassandra does seem confused by what Lucius does, but there isn't anything that hints at anything more than ambition or mages bad rawr-rawr going on with him. She doesn't indicate that she knows him intimately as in good friend she knows like the back of her hand.
As for the Templars, you have to locate them with Krem's war table stuff if I remember right. So you have to search for them. They don't pop up right away.

Yep! I tried to actually get screenshots of him fighting with my IQ...but it didn't go so well. I am going to try and post my others...this may or may not work.
WOO I figured it out, lol! Thank you Imgur...and Google.

WOAH! Hang on! Those first images, that's at Adamant isn't it? Where is he standing during that quest because the only time I ever see him is when he runs in to talk to us after the cutscene of them bashing the doors down.

Nope! I used some positioning...which involved a lot of chasing around with my mage and her spirit blade, but I managed to get these shots outside Samson's old stronghold. It was right after the Tranquil scene.

Really? I don't remember him standing around outside the stronghold like that, he just followed me around outside until I went in like the companions do.

Well most mages don't have real world experience which is why they struggled to adjust.

Yep. I had to use the tactical camera along with quickly exiting the dialogue. So the Tac cam paused the game, which allowed me to zoom in and get the shot. It seems that when you leave the conversation with Cullen...he stands still for about three seconds before bounding off again.

Oh, I see so that's just his conversation stance. He looks in a foul mood there doesn't he. I wasn't sure if maybe I'd missed something since the first time I played the game I went pro-mage so I've only done the nemesis quest once, thought maybe that had glitched for me too.
JUST SAW THIS!
Yes! I have a Nug Basher and a kNug Knife. But Schmooplesbane is much better!
Edited for Cullen

You explained it much easier than I did. So yes it is his conversation stance and where my IQ and him are kind of glaring at what another...I take that as a stare-down contest! I bet I could trick a few people with that one red lyruim shot...but I am not that cruel.
