Why would people change their opinion based on The Calling? It's obvious that he is an extreme case of tunnel vision. He wants to mass produce wardentrublood that cures hive mind. It's as reckless a plan as any. They are pretty much an engineered warrior race that no one knows how to beat and they will all gain free will and higher mental functions. What can possibly go wrong?
He doesn't even know what exactly happens when he gives the blood to darkspawn. He started a blight, the game already features a crazy broodmother that gains free will and the only thing she wants to do is to hear the song again. And she gives birth to abominations that the moment they hatch can devour a person whole. Who knows what else may happen down the road.
I haven't read the novel but I doubt it's much worse. I've read the summary from wiki and the only difference is that now he is more considerate for the other races and tries to understand. That's his whole selling point and the chance for a mutually beneficial compromise.
I completely agree with you. In my estimation, the Architect and his awakened are a far worse threat than the blights, because they have all the danger of darkspawn without the one single bleak hope Thedas had so far - that killing the AD causes the horde to retreat. With the exception of the Messenger, they've all been pure evil, and the Messenger still arguably does as much harm as good.
As best I understand it, his original plan was the mass genocide of every non-darkspawn race in thedas by turning them all into ghouls (and by extension mutating many women into brood mothers, so there was a mass scale rape as part of his genocide). He dropped this plan, though it's not clear if he realized how stupid it is since his darkspawn need to mass rape women to actually create more of themselves and without GW blood he can't make them sentient (though I don't know if he could do he reverse joining by that point).
