Templars are not soldiers. We can use DAO as a perfect example to illustrate this. Out of the three treaties the Grey Wardens had to build an army to fight the Archdemon, were any of those for Templars? Didn't guess it? Absolutely not. The treaties were for the Dwarves of Orzammar, the Dalish Elves, and the Mages of Calenhad Lake. Templars are nothing more than guards tasked with subjugating mages. That is their purpose. Any military function they once had fell into obscurity.
I can't help it if you fail to see that Cullen could have potentially did something more. If you want to be a pessimist and assume he did the best he could, then go right ahead. Do you really believe the Templar Order was so broken and inefficient that they did not have means of removing corrupt or abusive leaders from power?
How can the Arishok have an opinion on someone he never met? The point is the problem stemmed from the templars and the Chantry and it was their mess to clean up. The final nail was the killing of the Viscount's son, and that gave the Arishok an excuse to take the city by force and impose the Qun on all.
I have never once stated I was referring to the epilogue. All accounts I have mentioned in regards to Cullen are from in the game at the Calenhad Lake Circle. If not for the Warden's input, Cullen would have slaughtered the rest of the mages without a second thought.
How many times must I repeat myself? Do you have a short attention span? I am indifferent to Cullen as a character. This thread was about advisors and I found him to be an ill-qualified choice. It's that simple really. Wow, you continue to lose more and more credibility. You are honestly going to use "likes" as a way to suggest your are "right" and I am "wrong"? I've seen plenty of people type the most absurd comments and receive likes. You really want to make that argument? Be my guest as you are clearly pulling at straws now.
I merely stated my opinion about one of the advisors. I cannot help if individuals such as yourselves and others decide to attack irrationally because you do not agree with my views. If you can't even tell you are trolling now, you really should just stop posting.
Really, because if you side with the Templars during Broken Circle, exactly what were the Templars doing when they marched on Denerim along with the other forces gathered? Were they heading out for a barbeque? No, they were heading to fight because despite being obstensively guards for the mages, they are nonetheless trained to fight.
Your argument that the Templars stopped being trained to fight when they were seperated from the original Inquisition is flawed, because we know that the Templars have been involved in the Exalted Marches and the Blights, a point you repeatedly seem to ignore? The Grey Wardens don't put down their swords and stop training when the Blights aren't on, a Fireman doesn't stop training how to fight fires when none occur, and neither do the Templars stop training to fight as armed force, regardless of their current mandate being to watch over the mages.
Are you saying that the Arishok doesn't have spies in Kirkwall, because there are a lot of clues that he does? The Arishok didn't see Meredith as someone worth dealing with, nor did he wish too. I honestly don't understand why the Chantry needed to get involved, nor the Templars, as this was neither a religious matter, not a matter involving mages?
Where does he say that? When does he make a move to slaughter all the mages? He argues that you cannot trust that the Mages aren't corrupted and need to dealt with, but he makes no move to do so even after being freed from the prison he was kept in? When he brings this up again, he's quickly overruled by Greagoir almost immediately on that matter, even before the Warden offers his opinion? And after that, he grumbles, but doesn't make any move to do anything?
The fact that you've once again returned this to a bashing thread is the reason this discussion is being continued, not due to any lack of attention span on my part? Instead, you seem content to repeatedly dismiss any counter-arguments to your points, from not just myself but multiple other individuals? While I do concede that the "like" system is not particularly indicative of correctness, the fact remains that fairly few people have offered replies that have supported your side in this argument, even if they also dislike Cullen as a character?
A rational discussion involves two parties, who may not agree, but are nonetheless willing to have a reasonable discussion and debate about a certain topic. What is irrational, is to treat anyone who doesn't agree with you as if they're dense, are making personal attacks against you or accuse them of being a troll? Seriously, hands up those who've found my arguments to be trolling in anyway? I've been a tad snarky, sure, but I've tried to be relatively fair when making my points?
Can we also return to the actual discussion at hand, which is regarding the advisors and how we'll react to their suggestions within the game? I'd rather the mods not close this thread because we've deviated once again from the topic?
