the thing with a lot of the templars dragon age deems as "good" is that said templars believe the templars as an institution are perfectly fine. instead, it is individual people who are giving the noble templar order a bad name. the rampant abuse in the circles is only the fault of some templars who had "forgotten" the true purpose of the order. if only those bad apples are rooted out, the templar order will be what it "originally" was—nevermind that the whole barrel is rotten.

exactly!! even if you get rid of every single "bad" templar, the practices of the templars themselves are still harmful. every single templar who assaults and rapes mages is expelled from the order. but the order still requires you to watch young mages face demons. the order still requires you to kill young mages if they fail the harrowing. the order still requires you to make mages tranquil. the abuse of mages is built into the duties of templars that there is simply no way for a "good" templar to say the templars should only get rid of the "bad" ones, say thedas should keep the templar order, and still claim to protect mages.
