Guys, I need help. I have a female mage Lavellan, but I can't work out which side she would choose. It seems like the more immediate danger is at Redcliffe, but time magic? How is she going to deal with that? But, as Cullen said: we probably won't be back on time if we go to the templars for help.

So which is the better choice for her? (in character, meta reasons need not apply)

If you already talked to Fiona at Redcliffe, I'm afraid a Dalish mage would fit to going to mages. Role-play-wise, going to templars makes more sense until you talk with Fiona and about as the same amount of sense until you encounter Dorian in the Chantry - until then you only know the mages are tards who promised you alliance but allied with Tevinter instead. (whereas from the talks in Val Royeaux you know, there's something fishy with the templars)

 

Or just simply:

This part of the game is where role-playing dies and meta gaming takes over, in my opinion.

 

On the one side we got rifts that manipulate time, Tevinter cultists taking over an entire town & castle and a magister that obvisouly is planning something grand and shady.

On the other side we got some dickish acting Templars and Seekers, whose crimes are (as far as we know)... being dicks, hitting a snobby cleric and declaring that it's not their problem anymore.

 

Wait, what?

 

Sadly the writers didn't manage to make the two scenarios equal. If you role-play there is no real reason not to help out in Redcliffe, because that is the place where **** is boiling over. If you don't mind meta gaming pick the story you like better.

If you don't know about the time magic, which you really don't when you're leaving Val Royeaux where Fiona just invited you to chat, you do have a reason to go to the templars. The scales change that drastically after you visit the Redcliffe village.

Yeah, but the game doesn't even allow you to take a peek at the problem in Theirinfall, like you are allowed at Redcliffe.

Most gamers I know tend to keep "IF YOU GO ON, THERE IS NO TURNING BACK" missions till they looked at everything else. After Val Royeaux the next quest in the templar line immeadiatly has such a pop up. On the mage line you can explore Redcliffe village, get an understanding of the situation and then get the pop up mission.

Not very well balanced in my opinion.

I agree it's not balanced. I just pointed out an option how can you role-play going to templars.  

[Andromelek]

Since the time you met them in Val Royeaux, I think that from a character perspective would be more logical follow the mages, the only thing that ruined an easy alliance were the Venatori.

Mages, obviously. Mage supremacy now and forever.
