And your commanders offered you this new and improved red lyrium that will make you more powerful, would you take it?

[thats1evildude]

If that's all the information I got? Then yes.

If they added "Warning: May cause monsterism," then no.

[MrObnoxiousUK]

You don't seem to understand that the Templars are an order militant, if your superiors tell you they are replacing the Lyrium with a new type you really won't argue the fact.

[AnImpossibleGirl]

Only if Cullen is my commander. How could I say no?

[NoForgiveness]

If I was a Templar I'd be set up in redcliff. So I'd still be on the blue.

[Lunatic Lace]

I would have gotten kicked out of the order years ago for lack of discipline. No worries here!

[CoM Solaufein]

Nah. Don't want to look like a freak

[Beren Von Ostwick]

I'd like to say no, that I am a special little snowflake who, among the entire order, was unique in refusing the lawful (to my knowledge) orders of my superiors.  I'd like to, but I cannot.  Yes, in all likelihood, I would have obeyed and taken it.

[Daerog]

Why not? They have given different variations of lyrium before to ingest, now it just comes in a different color.

 

 

 

However, if I for some reason ended up joining the Templars some time before Inquisition, I wouldn't have to bother with red lyrium.

 

Why?

 

I wouldn't have joined with the rebel Templars in the first place, I would have stayed with the Chantry and helped out the Loyalist mages.

[The Baconer]

In the instance that I would have actually followed men like Lambert and (Envy)Lucius, probably.

In Kirkwall? Hmm... I don't really want to be a Kirkwall Templar, the cities a mess, Kirkwall Templars either oppose or join the Qun. Insansty, I tell you! But Cullen is a nice Commander..

[Ashagar]

Honestly, no but that is because i am rather supcious which means l'd likely end up murdered like the Knight-Vigilent and possibely other high ranking templers when I started not just wondering about the supcious behavior of the higher ups but started investagating.

[thesuperdarkone2]

Should have said if they would follow orders if say they were ordered to burn an entire village to the ground or kill a bunch of kids for being mages.

We have repeated evidence of templars refusing to kill and protecting mages and childern supected of being mages though just as there are mages that refused to leave their circles even though their fellow mages tried to murder them for that.

[actionhero112]

Maybe.

 

If I had no idea what this "new" lyrium was, and it was an order from my superiors, I probably would.

 

If I knew what the red lyrium was, probably not. 

 

None of those templars really knew what they were handling. It's not like blood magic, which pretty much every mage is warned about. I feel much more sympathetic to red templars than blood mages. 

[Ashagar]

As Sir Barris said the templars got brought different colored lyrium before and the truely high ranking templars who *would* know better pointedly blew up at the conclave or were murdered because they'd see the envy demon for what it truely was which would ruin the plan.

[guntar74]

What always confused me about it was, didn't the order know about red lyrium and what it did in Kirkwall at that point? Or was that all hush hush and blamed on blood magic? Or just specifically that idol?

So you are saying you would join a military order and then not follow orders........When you are rank and file you don't get to choose, you either do what you are told or you get charged with insubordination, which back in those days could be 20 lashes or even death.

[Nefla]

I wouldn't be a templar to begin with, I don't take any kind of weird substances not even alcohol or medicine lol.

[AnImpossibleGirl]

In Kirkwall? Hmm... I don't really want to be a Kirkwall Templar, the cities a mess, Kirkwall Templars either oppose or join the Qun. Insansty, I tell you! But Cullen is a nice Commander..

 

Anywhere, just can't see myself saying "No, I'll pass" to Cullen. More like "Yes, Cully-wully, anything you say!"

[Neres]

And yet there are special cases like the templars you save in Champions of the Just, or the writer of the Red Templar Knight entry.

 

But yeah I agree with Nefla. I wouldn't join an organization that is prone to hooking members on drugs. Even then I wouldn't take the red lyrium stuff.

Might be infected with a disease or something, just doesn't look natural... Could just dump that crap out.

Firstly the scienario is pointedly a offer not a order which are a big difference and also we are talking about a organization who had its leadership wiped out at the conclave or secretly murdered so they wouldn't spot the envy demon with the surviving leadership acting supcious, in a organization that pointedly makes a point of invesigating supicious behavior both within and without. My only wonder is that more templars didn't get murdered before the red templars made their move.

[Erstus]

I would definitely seek out to join the Templar Order - Eradicating blood magic, hunting demons, and keeping upstart mages in place is a noble and justifying cause.  Now, as far as the red lyrium goes, that depends upon the situation. In most situations I would probably not have had a choice.

[Lynroy: Final Edition]

I wouldn't be a templar in the first place.

[Cz-99]

Considering how sleazy and scumbag-y the Templars in DAI looked, I'd say no. Now if if that bro Templar in Lothering from DA:O offered me some, I'd ask for seconds.
