If you like cast spells and love to be a Mage, this news is for you. In his tweeter post, Mark Darrah said that BioWare would not force us to play as a Templar: "DA3 will not force you to be proTemplar. Inquisition and the Templars are not the same. Though they are related." I hope that this information makes you happy, as not everybody uses sword and shield.
