 I am playing  a good guy and I do not know if I should sacrifice myself or not. So I was wondering what other players have done.

[Avilia]

Yes. I'm a big US'er.



Having said that - my canon playthrough which I've just settled on (yes these things take time) - I let Loghain die a hero in the arms of the AD.

[Hilde]

I have once or twice. Not my favorite ending though. Nice thing about a game like this is the next time you play you can take a new route!

[Zjarcal]

Never!



My characters are all good and they happen to trust Morrigan that she won't screw things up with the OGB. Even if she does, well, at least they will still be alive to deal with the situation.



Damn, September 7 can't come soon enough!

I have done the US route a few times just to see the funeral but all my games REALLY end with the DR.

[MKDAWUSS]

[Whailor]

Heck no. Being good doesn't mean being fool. Why on in the name of whatever would I sacrifice myself for the people I don't really care that much about? I'll do my job, so to say, but it doesn't mean I'm going to turn myself into dragon snack. If there's a way - and there's always I way - then I use it. Loghain - he did not deserve any recognition, he usually always get cut a bit short in my games, no matter the origin. Traitors deserve just one thing.



Now I did once take that way, but honestly this was just for the achievement. In any other playthrough I always use other option. But yeah, since I'm good mostly I don't feed my friends to ol' "Archie" either, I deliver the final blow myself (plus it looks good on resume, "Killed the Archdemon", can't argue with that!).

Yeah, same here. I have refused the DR to see the US (along with the funeral) and to see Loghain dying, but I always reload back and do the DR.

[adneate]

Nope did it once thought it sucked, DR all the way and every time.

[wickedgoodreed]

Depending on how you play it, one of the major themes of the game can be mercy and redemption, particularly if you're a "good guy." When my Warden makes choices that emphasize that aspect of it, I always let Loghain make the final blow. I think it makes for a poetic ending.

[ZenoX]

Haha, this brings me back to my first playthrough... when I was a Female/Mage. I had a relationship with Alistair.. but that had to be broken off due to him becoming king (since mages can't have political power and all that). Right after that (Which was right before the final battle) Morrigan came to me and said that in order for everyone to survive she had to sleep with Alistair... THEN I had to convince Alistair to sleep with Morrigan... awkward moment. Hahahahah, and this was my first playthrough.



To answer the question though... I've always gone with the 'Morrigan Ritual ending'. And I always kill Loghain.

[ejoslin]

I have done the US once. And saw the funeral, the look on Zevran's face, and read the slide and cried and felt horrible and never have again.

I have major problem with end design. I don't like Morrigans deal, because it's not good one. Yeah, it can save us, but what's the cost in future. Also I don't support Loghain to become Warden after killing all Wardens and not understanding what Wardens are. So, my only choise is to kill Alistair, because killing my self doesn't mean anything, because PC can't really die. If transfering character become back to life and game fix PC's choises. So, no, there isn't point to kill you self. How ever, I haven't yet played the end at all.



So, I have two choise, take Morrigans deal or kill Alistair. Not sure what is worst choise.

[Eudaemonium]

I did the US once, ever, just to see it. It certainly *ends* the game and gives it some closure. It pretty-much breaks several of your companions though, particularly whoever you're in a relationship with. DR all the way. That said, my latest Warden actually had Alistair take the hit. She regretted it, and I've considered doing a 'good end' for her with the DR, but Ali dying had a certain poetic tragedy for her character.



In short, US is for fools unless you want true closure, want to break someone's heart/life, or really want Ali or Loghain to take the hit.

If you play Awakening with an Orlesian Warden, you won't be brought back to life.

[Obadiah]

I did it the first time I played. So far it's still my favorite playthrough.

In every other playthrough I've managed to survive, but felt compromised.

Yes, but I would lose all the choises what this Warden did make, would I?

You would lose them, but there aren't that many that are taken into consideration in Awakening. Who is king/queen? Is Wynne alive? Ehhh.... I can't think of any others.

Out of 6 characters I've done, only one did the US. It was nice and all, and suited that particular character well.

[Master Shiori]

I did the ultimate sacrifice just once to see what it was like (and to grab the achievement). After seeing the anguished look on Leliana's face I never did it again.



All my characters did the Dark Ritual, since I feel that, of all possible endings, it gives you the best storytelling possibilities. And the fact that nobody dies and you get to become the only Warden in history to slay the Archdemon and survive to tell about it is really cool.

[Quinnzel]

The first 3 playthroughs: No, Morrigans ritual was a reasonable requet to my wardens (all of whom were romancing her...I dont think Ive never romanced her actually) but I did turn it down suring one playthrough just to see it.



Now though If im going to do the US (which is rarely), I usually make the idiot Alistair do it, or If i decided to kill him before hand, Loghain.

If you choose to make your US meaningless by ignoring it in Awakening that's hardly the same as saying the PC can't die.

I think there are worse endings for Alistair as a character than letting him make the ultimate sacrifice. He is giving his life for something he believes in. It's sad for sure...But on the other hand it's his duty as a grey warden as much as it is yours, and he seems to revere Grey Wardens much more than any of my characters ever do so for him it is an honor in a sense.

Maybe, but killing PC and PC's life having zero affect to world in Awekening, is same as PC never even exist. If the choises would be there and you just play new PC. Then old PC's life did matter.

Plus, between the two of you he is the senior Grey Warden by six whole months.
