With his great sense of justice, there is no way the Warrior of Light would have attacked Teledji or his guards without any kind of evidence beside "he's not a nice lalafell".

Our character is more often that not completly clueless. It's not a sign of stupidity, but more something amongst the lines of him/her not being able to fully understand what all of these bad behavior works, because s/he's pure of heart.

It's not the first time that we, as the viewer, are able to understand a situation to the point of calling it obvious. But from the point of view of the Warrior of Light, when Teledji came to arrest us, s/he may have absolutly no idea what was going on, and blindly followed the guards to be put under arrest. Even if he's not up to good, Teledji still represent the authority of Ul'dah. Standing against him means standing against Ul'dah altogether.
Besides, the Warrior of Light is good, lawful, fair and loyal. Attacking the leader of a city-state, even for his/her own safety, is very unlikely to ever happen. There is absolutly zero hint of selfishness within the Warrior of Light. Blasting and punching through a bunch of guards just to save his/her own ass is absolutly not something that seems natural for the Warrior of Light.

It's like most people here don't realize how clueless the Warrior of Light is regarding all that stuff, and assume that he's as farseeing as the player.
Yes, as the player, with the amount of knowledge we had (including everything the Warrior of Light didn't know), resisting might have been a better choice... but the Warrior of Light is not the player.

Something obvious for us isn't the same for the Warrior of Light, and some people here fail very hard to understand that.
I think the main issue is that, over the course of the story, we learn that the WoL isn't exactly us, but another character whose appearance/class we can alter while their personality is seperate from us. The problem being...we're not playing a very interesting character.
