In origins it was more minor.
Dragon age inquisition siding with mages or templars.
The templars aren t bad the quest around them is okay but it s not great.
Note taking further steps in this quest means taking up the attempts to obtain the support of the templars.
Story wise if you side with the templars you lose fiona who is a character with a lot of history.
You meet fiona at your attempt to leave val royeaux m4 1.
Also the antagonist changes samson if you side with mages and calpernia if you side with the templars and of course the missions related to them are different level 2.
Siding with the templars will allow to recruit cole first then recruit dorian at skyhold.
If you do the redcliffe missions then choose the templars you will at least meet dorian and cole.
To be fair closing the breach will give it credibility too even if the mages are recruited and you don t have anyone left to negotiate with before you close the breach so level 1.
The inquisition has promised the herald of andraste as its voice in these negotiations.

In inquisition you are put in a place where you decide whether to have the mages or templars join the inquisition.
The enchantress wants to convince the inquisition that you should join your forces and she invites you for another meeting in the village of redcliffe.
If you side with the mages you lose ser barris who is one of the best templars in dragon age.
If you choose mages cole showing up doesn t make sense.
Just in the first area alone i encounter.
In the 2nd game the decision was everywhere and everything exploded to the mage rebellion.
Ten noble families will help the inquisition pressure the templars into sealing the breach traveling to therinfal redoubt and demanding the lord seeker deal with them or face the wrath of orlais.
Given the attitude amongst people about mages and the respect people have for templars they give the inquisition some more credibility.
This means that you will not be able to ally yourself with the rebel mages apostates and as a result you will not be able to complete the in hushed whispers quest.
Templars killing people for being suspected not even proven to supply mages instead of them.
Siding with the mages leads you on a quest that involves meeting dorian one of the companion units and a plot that uses magic with time travel.
This quest becomes available after you first come into contact with the rebel mages apostates and fiona who commands them.
