Well, personally, when I need hysterical pro mage freedom arguments I'll find myself on Tumblr.

I have already explained this. Continue to pretend that I haven't if you will, that's more your problem than it is mine. Much like that tricksy codex that eludes you as if it never existed.

Ah only on BSN will not spending all my time finding a codex be considered a bad thing. Never change BSN

So I guess Hasmal Templars never join the inquisition if you ally with the Templars or do they join offscreen? If they do, how do you know the terrorists aren't dealt with offscreen if you ally with the mages?

It is a bad thing because you accuse other people of jumping to conclusions and not having enough evidence to support their claims while you're still adamant that a codex exists to support your personal headcanon. Meanwhile you apparently have just enough time to argue about it instead of looking for it.

 

I have already explained this. Do you still save Count Octavian from Venatori offscreen if Celene is the sole ruler? No, it is consequential and absolutely requires Celene+Briala to be reconciled and it offers an explanation why. There is no valid reason why Hasmal Templars can't be recruited if we ally with the Templars other than incentive to choose different options for replay value. There is also no reason why I shouldn't infer The Extremists happens because the rebels are gasp, shock, and awe, rebelling more even after Josephine tells us it will probably come to that.

Lol at the guy criticizing me for having facts to support my belief in brainwashing while they are using headcanon to support their bias against mages.


Lol at thinking the codex that I don't even mention anymore is the only reason for believing the mages are brainwashing. Not sure if funny or sad

Also, show me where Josephine says it will come to that?

If by "facts", you mean a writer swatting you away like a pesky fly and never getting back to you to confirm it.  :rolleyes:

 

She says it will deteriorate. Not that it hasn't already before when mages attacked the guards.

And I suppose the guide, Hadley, corrupted looks in Haven, and more were conveniently forgotten. I thought you were supposed to remember everything I did for the past 5 years. For shame


And people wonder why this forum is being shut down

The way I look at it, if you do the Hushed Whispers quest, you've already done the rebel mages a big favor. You got them out of their bad deal with Alexius, and are bringing them into the Inquisition, where they will be relatively safe and well-provided for.

Generally speaking, I tend to view conscription as one of those things a military must sometimes do to win battles and a war. It's not ideal, but sometimes necessary.

That said, I see the choice of allying versus conscription as a political position statement. Choosing to ally with them feels like tacit approval/support of their rebellion - a rebellion that a lot of them did not want. I regard conscription as a more neutral stance.

My Adaar warrior Inquisitor doesn't know or care much about Chantry or circle politics, and hasn't a clue what the future of the Chantry, circles, or magi will bring. She conscripted them.

My Trevelyan rogue Inquisitor went for the Templars.

I expect I might play a Lavellan mage at some point, and she will probably ally with the rebel mages.

This is the sort of stuff that helps make DAI a pretty darned good RPG.
