Annulling the Circle and killing Connor. It was more of an RP choice, but still one my PC felt she had to make.



I also don't like killing Flemeth, after she saved your life and seems determined to end the Blight.



Can't believe this many people felt bad about executing Loghain. Dude way had it coming.

3. Dark Ritual. No way I was going to put up with that. I'd just talked to her for hours and turn her around :D

To what end? You don't need to convince her it's a bad idea (doubt that's possible) to not do it.


Well I thought it was an excellent idea considering I was naturally very hostile to the wardens for "tainting" me.
It just seemed an ideal way out, to some extend.
Nobody died (although I'd gladly sacrificed alitair, meant nothing to me) and we could get on with our lives.
Where I object is not the dark ritual but Morrigan going away with the kid.

On my very first playthrough I was a mage and without knowing anything about the plot I immediately wanted to help Jowan. It just felt wrong to tell Irving about Jowan's plan. Surprisingly, when I decided to tell Irving on a later playthrough, it somehow still felt wrong even knowing Jowan is a blood mage. Maybe it's the fact that Lily seems like a nice person and is not involved in the blood magic business knowingly.

I've never felt sorry for killing Flemeth but, then again, I've never believed she's really dead either.

Stabbing the prisoner at Ostagar for a key (Makes me laugh though, stabbing him in plain sight while everyone is praying)

He was scheduled to be executed after the battle either way it's not like anyone really cared.

Yeah, seeing high-end robes for just Morrigan being called the Robe of Possession? Raised an eyebrow the first time and I've been aving doubts ever since. No way we're the first who've tried to kill Flemeth and have enough skill to (possibly) pull it off.

Deliberately playing through as a dwarf commoner who is just plain evil (well, almost).



Didn't save Redcliffe. Let Isolde kill Connor. Killed the Dalish. Sided with Bhelen (though I tend to do so in most of my games anyway). Sided with Branka. Annulled the Circle. Let the Fade beast go. Couldn't bring myself to taint the Ashes (didn't want to lose Leliana as I'd lost Shale and Wynne already).



Hardest playthrough I've ever had to play. It's why I take breaks to play another character to make my normal moral choices.

Having Lady Isolde sacrifice herself to save her son. It was a noble decision and Alistair was very whiny about the whole situation, but honestly I still felt horrible.


It was her fault anyway. She let all those people in that village and in the castle die, for one life. Anyone could have ended it with a stab to the kids heart. He even talks about cutting off the elves ears and feeding them to the dogs. That's not a tipping point? Sometimes I go to the tower save the mages bring them to redcliffe and then run up and kill Conner just to troll her.


Killing Connor discredits everything else you just said. No offense, but you don't take an innocent life, especially not to teach a lesson <_<

Hardened Leliana can be intimidated into not attacking you and any version of Leliana can be lied to about the fate of the Ashes if she's not with you.

For me it was siding with the Werewolves and slaughtering the Dalish. It was brutal, and totally uncalled for.

You and the werewolves stand back and offer Zathrian, if front of the entire clan, the chance to undo the curse (and if that happened the clan should be able to massacre the unarmed humans) and he turns you down, knowing it will lead to the death of his entire freaking clan. And no one in the clan says Boo.

Well, to be 'fair' to the clan, they've had centuries of listening to Zath lead them. And he certainly never told (or at least confirmed) his part in the werewolf curse. PC and the weres just sort of spring the news on them. They probably didn't even have time to think 'Boo', let alone say it.

It's not that I felt sorry for killing Flemeth, exactly.  It's that I don't know whether I want to risk myself against a dangerous opponent (and one who has done me no harm and given me significant help) for something that will do nothing to fight the Blight.  The fact that she won't stay dead is even more reason not to kill her...it only delays Morrigan's problem and I don't especially want her bearing a grudge.

On the other hand, the decision at Orzammar was merely annoying.  My canon PC felt he didn't know enough to make a decision but that from his perspective, it didn't make any difference who was King of Orzammar as long as they honored the treaty.

Having my Cousland kill Leliana because I defaced the ashes. Even worse, the Cousland is my main and to some extent an extension of me, plus she really, really loves Leliana. So yeah...

I felt so terrible, I just felt lifeless... Did not even feel my heartbeat for good few minutes.



Goddamn trophies...

"Obligatory statement that achievements/trophies are stupid and don't actually do anything."



I really can't think of any distasteful choices. I guess that worst think I can think of is choosing between rewards at the end of the game. It was strange.

Yeah, I've heard of that. But since 'my' relationship with Leliana is only at friendly and unhardened I couldn't do that. (10 playthroughs or so you'd think i'd get around to it...) It would mean losing the only character I have at picking locks.

According to the law, Abominations must be killed.  If a village child were possessed, do you think Isolde would have hesitated to turn the child over to the templars?  And that they would have hesitated to kill said child?

And by her NOT turning over Conner, violating the law of the land, caused the death of hundreds of innocent people.  

Edit: I could never find a good rp reason to go to the tower first.  That demon was WAY too dangerous.  I know in a metagame way that you can go to the tower and you don't hear about the demon killing or torturing any more people (it doesn't mean it doesn't happen though), but the urgency that is portrayed in the game, I just can't leave.  I normally kill Isolde, however.

 It's one thing to kill Connor because you don't trust Jowan, if you refuse to use blood magic, if you think it's too risky, if you got rid of Morrigan and Wynne, if you're playing a very religious/lawful character...but some people (including the one who said they killed Connor to 'troll' Isolde) are killing a child to screw over Isolde and, to me,that is one of the most distasteful things you could do in the game, right up there with wiping out the Dalish because Cammen exists.

Oh come on. If it leads to Cammen's death then it was necessary. It doesn't matter what it was.

I think the Fade dream should have based on your origin. So you would have a different one with each of them. They could have made your dream longer and done something interesting.

That would have been pretty awesome, actually.

The two gossips in Lothering (and Orzammar, and Denerim... I think they're the same ones too. o.O) mention trouble in the Tower and the mages turning into demons. And it being true this time.

An RP reason to hit the tower first I've used is my DC still learning to navigate with surfacer maps, getting the wrong road and ending up at the Tower. She ment to go to Redcliff, but those sodding squigily lines all look like they start at the sme place!

I think what she meant was a good RP reason to leave to the tower once you have already started Redcliffe and have met with Isolde and Connor.

If I brought Jowan to help along I like to think that he may have been capable of somehow keeping Connor under control (not likely though).

Personally though, I have no problem with sacrificing Isolde. She's willing to do it and it was mostly her fault that things got the way they did. Plus, I love getting Alistair's angry speech back at camp. It gives my character a good reason to hate him.

Doing the evil path of the Urn of Sacred Ashes quest. I ended up reloading before I made the choice, I can't lose my Leliana after all.



Connor quest where you take matters into your own hands. I did it and reloaded before I made the choice. Can't kill a kid.



I only did those really evil options just to see what they were like.
