My recent Canon Warden replay (To get the "perfect" save for DA2):

Sparing or not sparing the Architect (Did it....as my Warden knows nothing of "The Calling")

Dark Ritual (Did it. Because....I wanted to see Loghain's cameo...and maybe see him in DA2?)

[Costin_Razvan]

Werewolf choice.

The hardest decision I had to make was whether or not I had the moral high ground to ask Alistair sacrifice his own happiness for the greater good by marrying Anora, after my Warden sacrificed Connor so that he could have sex with the desire demon. I decided that I didn't, but I'd ask anyway.

 Sparing Loghain to kill the AD.  Alistair was miffed but he seemed to have gotten over it by Awakenings.

My canon run did kill Connor and I was going to say that was the hardest, but when I typed that wall of text I realised by the time she got to that point, it was her only option.  Without metagaming it, she sided with the Templars and told Jowan to scarper.  iirc if you do that, there's no choice left but to kill Connor.

Its a good example of consequences of previous decisions.

I didn't find the werewolf/Dalish choice difficult - once she found out Zathrian could cure them, she had him do that.  Saving the anvil wasn't even an option for a Duster - she could see where that would lead.  Making Bhelen king, again easy for her.  She visited the Tower first, knowing little of mages and everything she saw and heard led her to believe they were a lost cause.  Then that old woman attacked them because Morrigan wasn't one of them.  Sort of confirmed her fears. (An unusual run with Morrigan in group).  She recruited Loghain because she listened to Riordan, and lost Alistair in the process.  She didn't trust Morrigan and didn't like this whole 'soul of the old god thing' and decided Loghain could redeem himself by dying a hero.  (hehe - feel free to ignore that para if you want!)

If you take the first playthrough as the "purest playthrough," then the US V. DR was my hardest choice. I took the US but only after a great deal of soul searching.



The werewolves were easy - they wanted to be free of the curse, the Lady wanted oblivion, and the old elf had lived way past his time. It was a defninte win-win.



The anvil was easy--sooner or later someone would sacrifice the unwilling in the name of the Good of the State. No thanks. Destroy the anvil and prevent the enslavement of future dwarves. Didn't even think twice.



I've only spared the architect once. Sentinent being or not, the darkspawn taint is poisonous to people and the planet...we cannot exist on a planet infected with the Blight....and so he dies. Strategically, it's easier to kill unthinking beasts then sentinent beings who can use tactics and strategy as well, so dumber darkspawn mean easier to kill darkspawn.

What I have most difficulty with is Landsmeet and Ritual, particularly on my last character. Female human noble, chose to rule with Alistair, then made him do the ritual. Even though the character had been really good up to that point I just felt horrible making those 2 decisions because they were just immensely selfish choices.

[sevalaricgirl]

The most difficult decision my first playthrough was who to put on the throne in Orzammar. I trusted Morrigan and convinced Alistair to do the DR because my human noble had lost too much and she couldn't bear to lose him. She thought that Morrigan really considered her a sister and wouldn't do her wrong and she did live, so if you think about it, Morrigan didn't do her wrong. The second hardest thing is whether to harden Alistair or not. My Dalish hardened him and stayed his mistress. My Cousland didn't harden him and he hated being the king. My mage keeps doesn't harden him and doesn't make him king. My mage saved the mages because Irving was her mentor and she had to save him because she cared about him.

None of my wardens spare Loghain. He was a traitor and left his king to die and then put a contract on the wardens.  He didn't deserve to be a GW or die a hero's death.

The Landsmeet without a doubt. I was so confused with my morals. I wanted to spare Logain, but I seriously didn't want to make Alistar mad. Logain also did some terrible crimes. Allistar ended up killing him because I couldn't bring myself to do it. I also placed Alistar on the throne because I thought Anora was going to kill him even though I really knew he didn't want to be there. I'd rather have him mad at me than dead.

The first time I went to Redcliffe … I wrestled with the decision of whether to sacrifice Isolde or go to the Circle tower, as I was afraid of what might happen in my absence. I chose the sacrifice first, but then re-loaded my save after learning that Redcliffe would not be destroyed by the demon.

I struggled really hard with the decision to support Bhelen even after I learned that Harrowmont was the bad choice for Orzammar.

In the Deep Roads, I really debated whether or not to accept a reward from the Fade Beast. In the end, I grudgingly accepted.

And finally, Morrigan's offer of the Dark Ritual. (I hadn't even thought twice about killing Loghain.) I still wrestle with that one.

More recently, it was the decision to kill the Architect. I believe i did the right thing, but there's a tinge of doubt ...

Whether I should use magic or a sword to terrorize the country folk with. Hardest decision of my life

[Persephone]

There aren't any "big" decisions that are no brainers to me. Each coin has two sides and there is always a new spin to a tale one thinks one knows inside out. It took me a bit to see Cailan as more than the shiny, sweet ditz the game introduces. The man planned to ditch his wife and sell out his country, had Loghain actually planned to get rid of the traitorous brat, I'd have handed him the dagger to do it. Ahem.... The Wardens lost their halos pretty quickly too and given what they have done in the past, I see it as no honor to become one. They are a shady bunch to say the least.

My Canon Warden is steel wrapped in silk. She is a pragmatist to the bone who doesn't care about honor or glory. However she takes no delight in sadistic decisions or killing people if it can be avoided. With her it's Ferelden above all else, so no happy Princess Cous Cous fluff for her. There is enough humanity left within her to resent the fact that Alistair tossed all the responsibility and hard decisions in her lap though.

[Ryzaki]

Actually I think my Wardens are going to be US types now that I don't have to worry about playing them in future games.



That way I can just see their stories ending and no one can screw with them. *glances at Awakening epilogues and shakes head*

Oooh, I can see how that would be hard.

I like the way you think.

Or you could just leave them alive an not play Awakening... 

[HolyAvenger]

My canon Warden was a nice guy. The only thing I really thought about was whether or not to harden Leliana. Otherwise it was quite straightforward.



My other run throughs will have other choices just to see how things go.

[Verly]

My very first game was a female Cousland so the hardest decision was the DR.

[Augustei]

DR i never used to do until I was suckered into it thanks to awakening =(

[Mariefoxprice83]

SAcrificing Isolde. I was going to sacrifice Connor the first time but I just couldn't get past the enchanted knights so Isolde had to go and I hadn't learned to use Feastday Gifts fully the first time I did this so Alistair and my WArden had a bad relationship throughout the game. I did the same thing with my mage but had figured out the approval system and the 2 ended up being friends.

[Isaidlunch]

- Whether to request the mage boon or not.

- Sparing or killing Loghain without metagaming knowledge

- Redcliffe decision without metagaming knowledge

[Augustei]

The Werewolf choice was extremely easy for me

[Fortlowe]

Morrigan or Leliana. Everytime I chose one, I lament not chosing the other.

[sylvanaerie]

Hardest thing for me to decide in game is who to put on the throne of Orzammar. Besides having a distinct "I just don't care" attitude about the whole thing, the choices in the matter really SUCK unless you metagame. A basically decent man (who is really bad for Orzammar's future) or a self serving power mongering little princeling who murdered one sibling and got the other blamed for the deed (and killed if not the DN origin) but who ultimately is a more efficient ruler.

I end up not metagaming that one. It's just better for my sanity I think. I usually put on the throne the one I think will do the best job without knowing much about the situation. (IE absolutely nothing). So half the time it's Bhelen, the other half its Harrowmont. Usually depends on who pissed me off less.

[ddv.rsa]

What to do with Loghain. I despise the man and think he deserves to die but in the end I spared him. Alistair is too short sighted to see it, but making Loghain a warden discredits all his previous anti-warden propaganda and prevents him from becoming a martyr. I assume Loghain's supporters were also happier with keeping him alive, which is important since the point of the Landsmeet is to unify Ferelden.



When Awakening came out I was glad to see him shipped off to Orlais.

[Richard parrington]

Got to be the Dwarven throne issue. Harrowmont is a much better person than Balen, but a far poorer ruler. you have to make a choice between a weak but good man or a strong but (slightly) evil man.
