No... It really wasn't. It painted the Chantry as waaaaay too much of a mustache twirling villain, who did things just be evuuuuuuuul.

 

This way is superior narratively speaking, since BioWare are going for the "no side is right" kind of deal.

 

The fact the Chantry would do it in order to keep the armed group of religious fanatics under control is the exact opposite of doing it because of "evil." The Templars using lyrium to enhance their abilities but being addicted to it made them a more interesting organization as it highlighted they had their own flaws and compromises to make. They were indebted and beholden to the Chantry in a way that was exploitative but the Chantry prevented the Templars from going all kill-crazy on mages.

Thedas isn't a place where everyone is justified.

People is a place where people do HORRIBLE THINGS because they have a justification.

That being said, Leliana and the Warden totally snorted Lyrium before some of their parties.

 

It's why they didn't bother getting undressed.

 

I expect they'll get back up to it when they reunite in DA:I

I wonder how people in the Cullen thread would take this? I'm tempted to go bring it up but also a little scared of what might happen if i do.

Their needs to be a way for Templars to kick their addiction because if their isnt thats a lot of deprived druggies running around thedas.

A number of people from the Cullen thread have already been posting here... and I think you'd find just as much variation in opinion there as here.

Personally to me there's a no doubt he's addicted and for better or worse, I hope it's not glossed over.

Well, at least Cullen is nowhere near the massive junkie who is Alistair.
