Blood Magic Blocked forevermore because writers don't want their Heros sullied by it

To paraphrase something that I said in a previous post, the removal of Blood Magic proves nothing other then that Blood Magic will have been removed. Blood magic isn't the only avenue to creating an anti hero, indeed there is a huge difference between being a jerk/ anti hero/ fallen idealist/ jaded hero that learns to be better throughout the game, and someone who is going out of their way to do evil things for the sake of evil. They have drawn a very specific line here at MInd Control, demon binding, and the potential corruption for blood magic. This makes a lot of esense and these are all things far beyond what a 'jerk' would do. Not sure how much I should go into the weeds on this but Jack Bauer often made a habbit of torturing suspects all in the name of the greater good and to get information to stop the bad guys...but he was never allowed to detonate a nuke. The Warden was also never able to join the Archdemon. There are things that a hero should never be allowed to do if you want to have any logical sense at all. There are some limited options, always have been, always will be. 

And these aren't new writers writing this game. These writers have worked on Origins, 2, and the MET. They have plenty of experience in writing 'dark', mature fiction. It is highly unlikely that they are 'fixing' anything nor is it likely they are, based on what we have seen and heard, changing it away from a dark fantasy setting with complex characters. DA is almost certainly not going to be an idealistic power fantasy moving forward. Now we will see how much this remains true going on in the future given the writer turn over...and honestly I am pretty sure they haven't got a single new writer going into Veilguard. 

Anyways from there we can continue to look into the marketing and what they have released since then as our greatest clues as to the direction the series will take: 

-'They Call me the Dread Wolf, what will they call you when this is over?' Suggesting that Rook will be able to do some pretty morally questionable things to earn such a title. 
- In the Horrors of Hormok we have seen gestalt abomination type combination creatures which, while didn't really translate well on the page, still suggests that the series tradition of body horror will continue. We even have seen some pictures to that effect. 
-Plenty of Demonic influences throughout Tevinter Nights which suggests psychological horror will also still be in play. 
-The Regret Demon. 
-Antonione getting fed on by the Werewolf and the Hunger Demon playing on his...well...hunger. 
- An Old Crowe's Tricks started off with a old lady coming up to a simple Tevinter guard, we find out that the lady is a Crow and the guard was part of wiping out an entire Dalish camp. 
-In DA Absolution we saw Rezaren slaughter a High Dragon and use the blood to power a ritual...also using the blood for a bunch of dead guards. 
-Rezaren also is a bit of an interesting case given his motivations and his promise to try and restore the dead and make Tevinter a better place, but yet also given his dabbling in Blood Magic and also his obsession, and arrogance, ends up being his undoing. 
-Also from Absolution you have Hira, presented as a fairly sympathetic figure who is involved in a relationship with the main character but ends up being sort of the *actual* main villain of the series. 
-In the opening Gameplay reveal for Veilguard we saw Varric try and chat to talk with Solas and bring him down. He wasn't really being treated like some black villain that had to be killed but as someone who had more grey and could be reasoned with. 

Sure, as I have said, all of these in isolation and even amonst themselves don't prove much. But it is indicitive of where they are going, it paints a picture.
