Personally I prefer mages, so that of course reflects in my play style although I still try to keep some variety.
I will have an extreme and chaotic mage character who will believe in freedom > safety no matter the cost and side with mages.
I will have a more neutral, compromising mage character who still has some loyalty to the circle and what she comes across in the game will end up influencing her decisions.
I will have a cynical rogue who thinks they are all stupid and crazy, and will side with whatever brings her more personal gain in the situation.
If the game ends up having enough replay value, I might even eventually make my first pro-templar run if I think I can make myself enjoy it, but for now I only have pro mage and neutral characters planned.
