Actually, I think I do hate her because she shows no compassion, in her eyes only the fittest deserve to survive... All the rest are there to be used. That's a horribly inmoral philosophy IMO. And yet when it's turned on her, when at the forge you say "OK, I'll make you into a golem first then..." she immediately changes her tune. Hypocrite.
On the argument that she offers you an out, that she is not responsible for the situation you find yourself in: Might be true but she takes advantage... It's as if you're being persecuted and she turns to you and says, "I'll give you shelter but this is my price... If you don't pay it, you know you'll die..." Makes her a parasite and a collaborator with your persecutors... Once the war is over would we give such a person a medal because they've saved lives? No, we'd drive them out of town, hopefully...
Which also dovetails with the concealed intention: sure, parasites want the host to live but only so they can carry on feeding off it, they might even help the host survive every now and then, but it's only because their self-interest currently coincides with that of the host, they certainly won't tell the host "I'm only helping you now because I want something from you later"... Once their self-interest moves somewhere else, it's "bye byes..." as happens when she is refused on the OGB.
How she should be handled? Turn the situation against her and take advantage using immorality to address immorality, "So you want my baby? Beg me for it..."
This may be controversial but nope, don't like Morrie overmuch....{smilie}
I was going to let the subject rest but... feel free to ignore this, just felt like venting a little

I've really tried to like Morrigan, but found it quite hard, here's why.
My Warden takes Morrigan along. She strongly disagrees with Morrigan's points of view, but thinks that they're more or less understandable since Morrigan was raised/brainwashed by Flemeth. So my Warden tries to keep that in mind and resist the urge to tell her to get lost everytime she opens her mouth to question my Warden's decisions. She is nice to Morrigan because she understands that she is not to blame for her upbringing, and they eventually become friends.
After you hand Morrigan Flemeth's real grimoire, at some point the conversation goes like this:
Warden: So why would she risk sending you with me?
Morrigan: I do not know. Perhaps 'tis as she said: the darkspawn threaten her as much as they threaten anyone else. Or perhaps she believes that this journey will make me more powerful.
That, right there, is a lie. Not a "lie by omission", an actual LIE, right after my Warden has gone out of her way to to kill a crazy powerful dragon-witch, even though the woman has never done anything to her personally, and actually saved her ass in Ostagar. There's no real evidence of Flemeth's intentions, and my Warden's only reason for agreeing to do it is that Morrigan is a friend. She trusts Morrigan, and Morrigan repays that trust with a lie.
So when Morrigan told my Warden that the ritual was the reason her mother sent her along in the first place and asked "this does not surprise you does it?", I really just wanted to b!tch slap her. Flemeth had an agenda? Not much of a shocker. What surprises me is that my so-called sister lied to me about it.
"You wouldn't have believed me" and "everything happened so fast" (WH) are not good enough excuses. I have tried to come up with acceptable reasons why she would do that but honestly I can't think of any (if anyone can, by all means, do share!). I do believe that she considered the Warden a friend, and maybe it was a hard decision for her as well, but in the end Flemeth's influence still spoke louder and she just used the Warden to get what she wanted.
Just my 2 cents. Getting back on topic... Alistair, weeeee!
