dgcatanisiri:dragonageconfessions:CONFESSION:             Honestly, even if the Breach and Corypheus didn’t happen, I still think that reaching an compromise with the Templars and Mages wouldn’t work out. The two have vastly different philosophies in what they’re fighting for that it would be extremely hard for them to ever come together.            Yeah, but that would have made for a great central conflict of the game - with the pressure of war threatening to tear the world apart, the war-hardened soldiers want to fight to the bitter end and only agree to the enemy giving unconditional surrender, and the war-weary ones who recognize that the war is only making it worse. What is important in ending a war, ending with a clear-cut victory in battle or by coming to the table and resolving things without bloodshed?Because ultimately, it would have opened up a very important topic - the Chantry is the root of both of these beliefs and attitudes. The Chantry demands obedience and service from the templars, imposed by a lyrium leash, and the Chantry orders the mages locked away in what is effectively a prison. And then declares the extreme measures at places like Kirkwall ‘justified’ for the disruption to ‘order, rather than barbaric extremes being pushed on a dehumanized populace.Removing Corypheus and the Breach from matters lets us see the Chantry as the true villain. THAT story? I really feel that that’s the most important tale that Dragon Age could tell. The fact that Inquisition didn’t, that indeed, it adamantly REFUSED to even ask the question, that it stared it in the face and blinked, is such a disappointment. -- source link
