But is it. You support the innocents' sentenced to life imprisonment as a preventive options, or not. This is simple: black or white, 1 or 0. The solution may be different. I have been saying all along, context and nuance matters. From your limited binary worldview, it is just pure oppression but there are many groups such as the Human underclass,Dwarven castless, City Elves, Qunari sarebaas, Tevinter slaves and Tevinter soporati would gladly live the life of a Circle Mage. Which is what I've been saying. Basically, is that mages are so lucky.

Which is what I've been saying. Basically, is that mages are so lucky. I take it nobody heard of a gilded cage. Who wouldn't want to live in a house covered in gold? Do you think: so much mage want to be uncontrollable abomination? I think: really few mages want to risk this, then if they know, how to uses safely their magic, they will use on this way, and don't forget, the people don't always use their weapon. Much mages don't want to throw fireballs, just live their life. And I wrote (very often), need effective police (not lyrium addict Templars, rather similar than the Seekers), and registration. The registration already exist: this is the Chantry's blood magic – the phylactery system. this is not that bad, if uses only to catch the criminals. Not every abomination wants to become one. If mages had to be willing to become abominations, the situation would be much less dangerous. And the lyrium addiction doesn't make Templars ineffective until the end-stage. Before that it actually makes them more effective, since without the anti-magic it grants them the Templars have a really dangerous job. (Not that the lyrium makes it safe: it just makes it relatively so.) Without that, the Templars only hope is to have a mage embedded with every unit... which they should be doing anyway, but if the other Templars don't have anti-magic there will be a lot of fights where they're more hindrance than help.

1. I prefer... anyone who is acting like a normal person, I guess? I would describe myself pro-Circle. I used to be pro-Mage in my younger days - siding with them on every turn, giving them all freedom they want and getting Leliana to Divine's seat. Right now, I'm leaning more towards consript route and making Vivienne a new Divine. 2. Both sides have their own idiots and hypocrites. 3. Yes, I did. I came to one conclusion: "I need a drink. And a woman. Preferably a drunk one." 4. Mages can be whiny spoiled children ("We need better beds! It's so uncomfortable! Oh, gross, we have to cook as well?! Discrimination!"). On the other hand, using RoT on every single mage who "might" disagree with you is pure monstrosity (I'm looking at you, Meredith). So yeah, they are discriminated, but there is a line. You can easily argue that City Elves and Casteless Dwarves live in worse conditions (besides, I'm pretty sure "starving to death" and "killed for lolz" is more common among these groups than among mages). 5. Well, if you are constantly reminded that you can turn into rampaging monster... it will eventually get into your head, don't you think? That's the problem I see - instead of teaching to be responsible and take responsibilty... mages are told to fear themselves. 6. A) Well, it is an ideal solution in my opinion. I don't say it's easy to execute, though. 6. I think the original Seekers/Inquisiton got the idea - if a mage is competent enough, I don't see any reason why some of them couldn't work as occult investigators or maleficar-hunters. We had mage serial killer who could be tracked down by an another mage (well, he was a blood mage as well, but anyway....). Other than that, magic can be used in a creative way... but for some reasons, all PC mages are (as would Solas say) "brutes" who just hold fireballs instead of "big fucking swords". 6. C) I agree with you on this point. 6. D) MAYHEM! 6. E) MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I SHALL KILL YOU FOR YOUR INSOLENCE, YOU PATHETIC MORTAL!!!!!! BHAHAHAA! LET'S PUT A HELL ON THE EARTH!... Ups! I'm dead! Now how did that happen? 7. That depends on my character's motivation. Will he be there only because he wants to stop Solas? Is he a native Tevinter? Is he a mage or an ordinary person? Is he willing to dabble into politics? Does he want to change society or is he going to use people for his own needs? Unless there is some major shit going down (like genocide), I will probably go with: "Ah, to hell with people. They can either swim or sink, I'm not going to do babysitter for them."

I hope the circle still exists in my worldstate though (I'm not really pro or against it, but I hope it does though with changes, under divine Leliana).

While I haven't gotten Trespasser and don't expect I ever will, I think I remember reading that if Leiliana becomes Divine, Vivienne desperately assembles a new Circle out of the remaining Loyalists who aren't willing to join the College. (I'm not sure whether that's close enough for you, though. Hell, unless there's more detail to be had I'm not 100% sure it's close enough to the old one for my tastes.)

That she automatically continues as leader of the mages after what she did, even in the absence of anyone else who wants the job other than Vivienne, is galling.

That she automatically continues as leader of the mages after what she did, even in the absence of anyone else who wants the job other than Vivienne, is galling. I seriously wish that I could've sided with mages that were actually on the run (from an angry crowd of peasansts that were afraid of them) or rebels who broke away from Fiona's leadership and became there own thing. I would've liked to have seen the rebels, who were forced to hide from the world due to being constanst harassment; and even make one of there leaders a Mage that uses anti-magic (becuase its familiar to have a Templar around them, a Mage who uses anti-magic would be the next logic step). They could've done so much, but instead they choice to make Fiona look like a idiot who has some next level of brain dumbness as she signs away there rights...

(Not mentioned: she is not devoted, she just want to be Divine for the power.) 2. Of course, who said: no? 4. No. They want LIFE, not better food and WC.

Except Cassandra says encouraging Cullen to stop taking lyrium could encourage other Templars to also go off lyrium I did not find that idea compelling when I made my decision, nor relevant. I was acting out of concern for Cullen, then and there, not what other Templars might do later. When I replayed it and got that line again, I saw that the writers were trying to drop a hint, but by then I only recognized that because I knew the outcome. Without that information, I did not buy it. Thus, I can honestly say I did not foresee that outcome without metagaming.

Guess Templar supporters forgot about that little detail See, that's the one thing I question. If a Templar loses his abilities if he stops taking lyrium, then how can Allister have Templar abilities in DAO when he never even took his first draught of lyrium? I don't think they lose their abilities when they go off lyrium, lyrium just intensifies their powers. (kinda like Popeye with his spinach)

Which is what I've been saying. Basically, is that mages are so lucky. I take it nobody heard of a gilded cage. No matter how cushy your surroundings are, you can't be considered lucky if your life is in constant peril and at the mercy of the whims of someone else. All it takes is another Meredith and her cronies to make your life a complete terror. Meredith was making mages tranquil for minor infractions, her men were abusing the mages and tranquils and knowing that no matter how well you behave, all it would take is a word from the person in power and you and your friends could be wiped out just like that. *snap* You're right, it is a gilded cage and in some ways the castless are luckier than the mages.

1. I prefer... anyone who is acting like a normal person, I guess? I would describe myself pro-Circle. I used to be pro-Mage in my younger days - siding with them on every turn, giving them all freedom they want and getting Leliana to Divine's seat. Right now, I'm leaning more towards consript route and making Vivienne a new Divine. I.. Always make Leliana divine but than again, I allied with the Templars. I hope the circle still exists in my worldstate though (I'm not really pro or against it, but I hope it does though with changes, under divine Leliana). And that's fine. I find an idea of murder Pope (hardened...-er Leliana) very intriguing Softened Leliana (aka "I'm going to get this work with the POWER OF FRIENDSHIP") is too idealistic for me though. What can I say, I'm looking forward to more... bittersweet and dark endings.

Then I hope you didn't make Cullen stop taking lyrium because a lot of Templars then decide to stop taking lyrium and thus lose their powers. Guess Templar supporters forgot about that little detail See, that's the one thing I question. If a Templar loses his abilities if he stops taking lyrium, then how can Allister have Templar abilities in DAO when he never even took his first draught of lyrium? I don't think they lose their abilities when they go off lyrium, lyrium just intensifies their powers. (kinda like Popeye with his spinach) Actually, the alistair comics confirm not using lyrium means eventually losing access to Templar powers. In the comics, Alistair had to take lyrium again in order to use his Templar powers. Plus, it was retconned that Alistair did already take lyrium to use his powers. Also,
