Dragon Age II: Orsino Full Retard

Spoilers

In regards to the story when taking the side of the mages, the one decision made by Orsino the first-enchanter of the mages is one of the most idiotic, I though mages were smart?. I had a geared and vicious team of Hawke (Rogue), Aveline (Warrior), Merrill (Mage) and Varric (Rogue). The templars were absolutely shredded to bits as soon as they entered the Circle tower, we were winning 😤

But then nooooooo Orsino decided to use blood magic and turn himself into a Harvester, wtf? 😕
