To a lesser extent, the Mage's College in Skyrim can serve as an example, as well.

I don't think its like the Skyrim mage's college at all, because the mages there are never attempted to be eradicated like the mages were in Dragon Age 2.

Crossark said
There's different types of eradication. The Mage's College in Skyrim shows push factors of peer harassment and a general sense of get-the-hell-away-or-we-will-kill-you-all, whereas the mages in Dragon Age 2 were just murdered flat out.

The Nords just resent magic users because they believe it is more honorable to fight with a sword, axe, mace or bow. It's not that they want to murder them all it's just they have little respect for them. Save for those who are trained in restoration magic, they have respect for them as shown in the temple of Kynerath. And also its different for necromancers, they have the idea of "they all need to die" when it comes to necromancers

And so all is right with the world. But there is one problem... I GOT A JOB! I don't know how my schedule will be looking, so I might be off again, on again.

Maybe magic and technology could go hand-in-hand and live long and prosper. Isn't that what you students are suppose to ensure happens?

The problem is not that we fail to bring about such a perfect world, the problem is that because of the prologue, we . I hate more than anything being flat out told 'fuck you, you lose.' as opposed to 'in all probability you will fucking lose.' Because a tiny, tiny smidgen of hope would be appreciated. I guess my only comparison is dungeons and dragons. No matter how difficult the roll, no matter the stakes, a 20 is always a hit, always a success. Sure, 1/20 odds is godawful and I will probably lose, but that tiny little chance drives me forward, rather than making me give up because of the sheer futility. I won't mind that doesn't work out, but just pre-determining things leaves a lot of efforts pointless. Hell, I'd at least appreciate the illusion of chance.
