Anyhow, if a regular army can also fight darkspawn, it just means that you can't have too much blood on you (iirc marric was the one from the books, and he lived a long life despite the injuries he sustained (ok he was wearing full body armor but still <<).

Besides, maybe thats how they figured out how to do the 'joining' in the first place, maybe a certain ammount of dark spawn blood isnt lethal enough to kill you, but makes you mostly immune.

Didn't Marric have some kind of potion in the book The Calling that kept him and others from getting tainted for a short period of time?  Thought that was how they explained spending so much time fighting darkspawn but not getting the taint.

To die outright from taint requires that it gets inside your body.

To be "ghouled" by the taint requires long term and uninterrupted proximity to darkspawn.

I suspect that blight disease is caused by consuming water/produce/meat that is effected by the blight, but not actually filled with the taint itself.

And eveyone else?  Did Wynne have darkspawn taint resistant robes?  Maybe morrigan but what about Leliana, or Sten?  They can't have ALL somehow come across a mythical armor that somehow keeps the taint at bay.  Somethings up or the devs just didn't take that into account.

spoilerish: Wynne has a guardian spirit keeping her alive (she's practically a walking corpse <<)
Morrigan has flemeth tricks, Sten has a genetic condition, Lelliana & the non girl elf their turbulent love live left them with multiple diseaes that keep the taint at bay.

(Wynne's guardian "spirit" could be make-up story for a pack with a desire god. Desire gods* can increase your stats and give you skills so it would not be a miracle if they could extend your life.)

(I agree though on your story about immunity in small doses. But I would make it more belieavable by saying that direct sunlight can neutralize the taint in darkspawn blood. It could be further argued it is strong ultraviolet radiation what does it, meaning sun obscured by clouds could still neutralize the blood. Ultraviolet radiation kills bacters in real. Dwarves would be a little bit problematic with this story but since Dwarves have magic resistance they could be argued to be more resistant to become darkspawn.)


Edit: *(You call them desire "demons".)
