That been a tough one for me but I always let Solas kill them. My logic is if they are stupid enough to summon a demon they can't control they are going to die soon anyway...natural selection and all that.

[AtreiyaN7]

Depends. I've let them die before. The whole expert mage from Kirkwall didn't help his case at all. I LMAO'd tbh.

 

I admit, I had a bit of a giggle at that. It may have tipped me over into letting Solas take revenge this time (but I'm someone who feels bad about killing snoufleurs, so once is probably my limit, heh).

[veeia]

Oh man, I feel so bad about killing animals in the game sometimes.

That Grear Bear Cave quest was the worst...killing those baby bears while their parent tried desperately to get rid of me. I also had this weird glitch where the adult bear froze and stopped attacking for like 20 seconds after I killed the baby bears and I was like OH GOD HES PARALZED BY SORROW IM A MONSTER

I mean my Quizzie didn't give a crap. She was trying to protect people and also dat sweet bear loot, but I was horrified.

If someone kidnapped one of the Inquisitor's friends, turned them into a monster because they wanted to use them as a guard dog, pretended that they knew what they were doing while also acting like they were blameless, and then made me kill said friend myself just to put them out of their misery...

 

Yeah, they'd be paste.

 

Both my Inquisitors --who have been "good" people-- let Solas do his thing, if for no other reason than because nobody else was going to hold them to account. Plus, honestly, he deserved revenge.

[BraveVesperia]

My first Inquisitor stopped him, since she was a sweetie who tried to avoid death whenever possible (her attitude was the same on Sera's quest). My second Inquisitor happily let him kill them. That will probably be the same for the rest of my Inquisitors, unless I make another as merciful as that first one.

 

Killing them seems pretty brutal. But on the other hand, I'm not really sure what else could be done with them. Conscription? They seem like the kind of mages who you shouldn't let wander around making things worse.

[Adynata]

Can you still romance him him if you don't let him kill them? Because I'm trying my hardest to simulate a rivalmance with him right now, and while my brutish Quizzie would be perfectly fine with him killing them, I think it would be fun if she stopped him, because after how much he's lectured her for being a reactive brute, it would be fun to her to do that back to him now that he likes her. 

 

I don't remember him disapproving when I stopped him. 

[BubbleDncr]

I let Solas kill him. I pretty much let every companion kill everyone on their personal quests. It's their business, not mine. 

 

Poor choice with Leliana, though. But I digress.

 

My 2nd playthrough I would have stopped Solas from killing them, but wouldn't you know, Solas hated me so much I didn't get his quest at all. 

 

My current playthrough, I probably will stop him. I'm playing as a dwarf whose pretty hard and ruthless, but doesn't want to see others end up like her. So she'll probably stop everyone from murdering everyone. 

[Lavaeolus]

Yes, but the Inquisitor doesn't know that. First run through I thought he would honestly murder the Templar and was surprised he didn't. The Inquisitor wouldn't know Cole changes his mind at the last second.

Varric, the advocate for making Cole more human, makes it relatively clear he's not actually going to let Cole kill him. I can understand missing it (it's one line of dialogue in a big conversation), but presumably the Inquisitor should know Cole's not going to kill the bloke.

[Obadiah]

I'm not sure spirits can even die, and Solas was the one who ended up killing the corrupted spirit. Difficult situation to judge. Would I kill a spirit for ignorantly summoning a mortal that became corrupted and had to be killed? What would the uncorrupted spirit of wisdom wanted us to do?

I'm a bit of a soft touch.

[ComedicSociopathy]

Is it weird that I'm completely fine with Sera killing that noble, but won't let Solas kill a maleficar who twisted his friend into a monster?

 

Now that I think about it's probably because I know that letting Sera murdering that upper class twit won't really change her for the worse. She'll just get over it move on to something else. Plus they guy's death scene was funny. Solas on the otherhand would definitely be impacted on an emotional level with the loss of such a close friend and vengefully committing murder for its death would likely set him on a very dark road. 

[nightscrawl]

I'm curious, did anyone spare him and his cronies? Even if it was just an accident him acting all-knowing and talking down to Solas pissed me off and I didn't even hesitate to let Solas kill him. 

 

I spared him. To me intent matters, and these mages, while incredibly ignorant and stupid, were not intentionally malicious in their action. I also don't think they will be making the same mistake again.

 

And too, the Inquisitor's response for telling Solas to stop is "Solas..." in a serious, warning tone, which I thought sounded great and was delivered perfectly for the scene.

[Nefla]

I let Solas kill them. They were foolish and ignorant but also arrogant and willing to summon demons and sic them on people. Not only are those dangerous people to let run around, but Solas is a BAMF and should be allowed to do his thing

[Luckyanna]

I let them go on my first PT, won't do it on the second, we'll see what happens next. Personally, I don't think their crime is so grave as to deserve death as penalty. Circle mages just don't think of spirits the same way Solas does. And as has been mentioned before, the way the Inqusitor stops him with just 'Solas...' is so beautiful.

[LaughingWolf]

I let Solas kill them simply for the same reason I sacrifice Hawke. It's that characters choice to make really, not mine.

[Gambit458]

Except a a Circle Mage he should know exactly that summoning a Spirit was wrong. I'm pretty sure the Circle taught Mages that trying to bind Spirits is a BAD IDEA since that could lead to abuse and could potentially summon a demon....then they do it anyway and then excuse it with 'Its just a spirit!' - Hell there's even a quest on Origins on what happens if you botch a summoning ritual. If someone hurt Cole and said the same excuse a lot of players probably wouldn't be so quick to forgive. 

 

Also, on a tangent, in the file I made Cole a Human so it would be massively hypocritical for me to encourage Cole to take vengeance on someone who had killed his friend the original Cole then deny Solas killing the Mages who essentially tortured his friend. Actually, both conflicts are rather similar - Both parties that did them harm killed someone close to them and did it out of ignorance/cowardice. Doing the quests back to back is rather poignant. 

If they were a Circle mage, I can't remember now because I stopped paying attention to what they said after the first time, then they should already know about the spirits because of their Harrowing. Cole and the templar is different. The Templar felt bad over what happened and even wanted to leave the order. Letting Cole take vengeance on someone who felt remorse in what they did was actually a dumb thing to do. Even Solas encourages you to let Cole forgive so I'd take Solas's advice about a spirit over anyone else's. The difference is that the mages knew what they shouldn't have done yet went and did it anyways. They thought only of themselves and showed no remorse in doing it. Cole becomes more helpful to those around him, when you go to that restaurant with him, if you let him forgive. Vengeance is not always the answer(Yes I know, that's ironic coming from the guy with GR as his avatar)

The Inquisitor wouldn't know Cole changes his mind at the last second.

Cole didn't change his mind in that scene. Varric handed him Bianca and told him to go ahead and Bianca "jammed," likely because Varric meant her to. The cathartic act for Cole was in pulling the trigger, which he did, not in causing a death.

i always assumed varric took the magizine out instead of it jamming

[Alara]

I've done both.

 

When I let them live, it was like “Hey Solas, they are way too stupid to get your hands dirty for".

 

When I let them die, I compared this scene with DA:O.  Yes, if someone ruined any of my former teammates BY ACCIDENT, I would definitely kill him/her as many times as I can.

[Eveangaline]

I spared him. Not because I liked them or because I thought it was better for Solas, but because that spirit was so against violence and hurting people that being made to do it twisted and killed her.

 

I wasn't going to let more violence happen in her name. She deserved better.

[Br3admax]

They were from Kirkwall. Motherfucking Kirkwall. That should answer all questions. 

[Korva]

I wish that if you stop Solas, you could still do something about these mages. They're trouble. Thoughtless, lying, ignorant, incompetent trouble. Did they learn anything from this? What happens the next time something scares them? You don't have to be actively malicious to pose a danger to those around you, especially as a mage. What were they doing in a war zone anyway? It's not like the Plains turned from shiny-happy vacation spot to atrocity central overnight, this has been going on for a while.

[Obb42]

Seeing how the morons were from Kirkwall, I feel like Bioware missed an amazing opportunity for an Emile de Launcet cameo. That'd stop me from letting Solas kill them.

[RenAdaar]

If some one got one of my inquisitors friends killed after trying to forcibly bind them twisting them into a horrible monster. And then give her the "its not our fault we didn't know excuse" she would kill them. So yeah my inquisitor let him kill them. 

[Hanako Ikezawa]

I stop Solas from killing the mages. 

[SardaukarElite]

I let Solas decide..... and he killed them. Whatever, they're from Kirkwall. They would have become blood mages eventually.

 

Become? You're lucky they didn't turn into harvesters on the spot.
