And yet apparently Cole's banter and the events in DA2 kind of say that the Tranquil can't say no and are raped. If tranquil did have that much free will, you'd think they would say no or tell people but according to you the tranquil who are raped apparently wanted to be raped.
If you'd kindly drop the inflammatory arguments.
Now. The Tranquil in DA2 are subject to beatings, according to dialogue with a shopkeeper. Which, if one suspects a correlation between that and them obeying Alrik, is terrible but not too much more so than just about everything else that happened in the Gallows. And true, I wouldn't want to live in the Gallows, but the question asked as "for the greater good." Nothing that happened in Kirkwall was for the greater good. And I can't find Cole's banter in the wiki page, so could you be more specific? In exact words, if you can remember them?
Be a tranquil is like be dead.
Why live if you can't feel anything?
Is being a slave from others, life the tranquils in the circle of Dragon age Origin.
The Tranquil feel something. The one from Diary from the Tranquil describes himself as "content," the ones you can save from the Shades in the Circle Tower describe it as "uncomfortable," Owain expresses a preference to be in a familiar area when Wynne chides him for not drawing attention to himself when he met the barrier (not saying this isn't scary, but it is evidence they feel something,) and the Tranquil who Wynne meets on the way into the White Spire phylactery chamber chooses to defy Lambert with a smile on her face. Their emotions are stunted, not removed. Probably because thinking with no emotions at all would either be impossible (which is my bet) or be so alien as to be impossible to properly write (which is a scarier thought than anything I've typed today.)
