This seems like a real shame to me, because as I said above, one of the beauties of Dragon Age (to a much greater degree than Mass Effect) is that there are so many shades of grey. In my chats with my friends, and then a bit of poking around elsewhere, I've realised a lot of Dragon Age fans see the issue of the Circles in black and white. In our discussion, she brought up the Circles: Then, this morning, I was chatting to a friend of mine about role playing and connecting with your Inquisitor. I'm on a little Twitter break at present due to incapacity to cope with the sadness of the world, so you can't see my replies, but basically I came out swinging for voluntary Circle membership.

(disgusted noise) runs with Vivienne in her party (My party: :D) #dragonageinquisition Here's my friend Mythor bagging me out on twitter for having Vivienne, a Circle mage, in my party: And this is an unpopular opinion, apparently. The abuses mages have suffered at the hands of Templars are unforgivable, and as in the real world, have too often just been swept under the carpet.Īnd yet: I don't believe the Circles themselves are necessarily a bad thing, or that the mage rebels are in the right with their war on the Templars. I'm not very far into Inquisition yet, so my opinions may change dramatically, but at this point my sympathies are very much with the mages - as they have been throughout the Dragon Age series to date. That issue is whether the Circles ought to exist I think they should. But there's one particular aspect of Dragon Age: Inquisition's plot to date that I've found really splits opinions, and mostly that split seems to be me in one camp and everyone else in the other. I appreciate that not everybody is as invested as me, and that even those who are won't have the same interpretation of events and characters as I do - even assuming they made all the same choices, which they won't, because Dragon Age is wonderful. I'm one of those players who explores every investigative branch of a dialogue tree before committing to an answer who reads the codex and who thinks carefully about the consequences and their character's personality to date before making decisions. It's all a bit complicated.ĭragon Age: Inquisition perfectly highlights many of the things I love about the franchise: complex moral issues, many shades of grey, characters with independent motivations. In Dragon Age: Inquisition, the Templars are bad and the mages need to be liberated from their oppression, right? Well, maybe.
