Applying the description of "crazy" to Decimus in the absence of proof sounds like an attempt to justify his behavior, which is what I said when I originally objected to the use of that word. If someone is legitimately insane, then mental illness should be taken into account when judging their actions. This possibility should not, however, be randomly presented simply to make the person in question seem less culpable.
He did seem besides himself.
I don't know how closely you all have been following DA:I's news, but the Inquisitor's job isn't to pick a winner in this war, it is to rein in both traitorous groups and put their violent tendencies to better use.
Now that makes sense, you are probably going to need magic to close some of the openings in fade and battle demons and such and templars to the more physical fighting.
Yeah, I was expecting you to say that. The implication that it could be used as an excuse comes from this statement:
Since there is no basis for the claim that he is "crazy" (aside from Alain's offhand remark, which is countered by Grace's interpretation and Decimus's own words and actions when we observe him first hand), to apply it is to cast doubt upon his moral responsibility. Again, this was my objection to use of the term "crazy," which is what you initially responded to with the above quote.
Ahhh, but never the less there isn't much evidence for either case since we don't know much about him.
Never the less this statement I made about the two side of the same coin, is something people with expertise in psychology and stuff like that will pretty much say the same to you, if you are very smart chances are you are also a bit crazy too. It was actually there I heard the term for the first time.
