Tevinter is a land ruled by mages, and – basically – they worshipped the spirits created by the Maker rather than the Maker himself. So the history of the mages and templars goes back to before the time of the Chantry, to when the Tevinter Imperium was powerful and ruled Thedas.
The conflict seems quite fantastical, but the underlying issues are not only realistic, but eerily reminiscent – at least thematically – of some situations and events that have happened in the physical world.Ī (Somewhat) Brief History of the Mage-Templar Conflict Speaking of critical issues, one of the central themes in Dragon Age: Inquisition is the mage-templar conflict, which is an issue that has been bubbling beneath the surface for the previous two entries in the series. Even this hard-core Dragon Age fan appreciated the fair and critical eye he turned on this third installment in the series. If you haven’t read his review, please do so. My friend over at Falcon Game Reviews recently wrote a fantastic review of Dragon Age: Inquisition, and we decided it might be fun for him to write a review, and then for me to pick apart some of the social themes in the game.
I should have called this “BioWare Fan Month.” We interrupt our Mass Effect Month to talk about another fine BioWare game: Dragon Age: Inquisition.
