Not to mention that nobody ever changes their opinions on these threads. Seriously, not one thing any of the pro-templars have said has changed my mind about anything regarding my pro-mage views and I doubt any kind of thing I say, no matter how supported, would ever change their minds. Has anyone ever actually changed their views because of these threads?
Seems all these threads do is just gave cause for people to insult people.
Uhm... actually... If I see some pro-mage argument that says more that "mages should be free templars are monsters", it makes me think about it - if it helps my general Thedas goal - to make the situation for the coexistence of mages and non-mages better.
DA2 caused me to take the templar side, because, seriously, Kirkwall was beyond mad and the abominations and blood mages running left and right were quite terrifying, but that doesn't mean I am Meredith or otherwise immune to reason.
And unlike Anders, Fiona and some other fanatics, I do believe that some sort of compromise is possible. It would require a lot of work, but it is possible.
Surely you would love if you born with magic, be imprisoned in a tower far from the world.
The empathy doesn't exist?
You know what? If everything about my personality stayed and the only difference would be that I'd be born with magic, I would gladly go to some Circle tower and preferably to be made Tranquil.
