I'm currently playing a Templar-sided run, and I just reached the courtyard, where Meredith says- and Cullen confirms- that the plan was to arrest Hawke no matter which side they chose.
So what if Meredith hadn't tried to kill Hawke at this point? What if she hadn't bought the idol, had ramped up her aggression on her own initiative, carried out the Rite of Tranquility and jailed the Champion (plus any companions that protested)? What happens next? Do Hawke and the others try to make a break for it, or does Hawke try to go along with it in an attempt to calm the situation down? How much danger is a mage!Hawke in of being made Tranquil? Would the Templars treat Hawke with care for fear of aggravating the situation, or would they be violent? How would the companions react/what would happen to them?
Pairings and everything past Hawke being arrested are up to the author (although if you do decide to include anything like dub/non-con, please keep it off-screen).
Hawke is arrested at the end of the game.
