You deserve quite a lot of credit. I have loved Dragon Age all these years, and during that entire time, I have despised Templars. I also have a rather strong dislike for being forced to play games as a human in any fantasy setting (I was incredibly disappointed being forced to play as Hawke in DA2). But despite all this, your writing is so well done, and the story intriguing enough for me to want to continue to read it. I do so hope you keep it up!
