Meh. I take it like Joss Whedon's characters. ANYONE can die... even the hero of the TV series. Knowing that, each moment the character faces dread, it's a bit more "real" (though fiction).

Just keep in mind that BW will kill your loved ones just to mess with your head... and you paid them to do it, too.

I was pretty pissed, but I did not think it would be a happy quest so I was prepared.

When I thought I had caused it by telling her to date and by not catching the Kirkwall Killer - I thought it was powerful.

When I learned the removed the option to save her - I thought it was empty.

Well, I was there crying as a lot of other people.... my Hawke just can't catch a break =) good thing that she's a though girl.

Yes, and if you pay enough attention throughout the search, you can pretty much figure what happened.

Yeah that actually put some emotion into me, I felt really angry at that mage guy, I kept wishing it wasn't true.
I felt attached to my character then too, usually I use the calm and diplomatic options but instead I yelled and insulted at that stupid blood mage.

 Did anyone almost throw their chair out the window when you saw what happened to Liandra? I almost did in a fit of rage. 

I'll comapre its jaw-dropping factor to that of Mass Effect 2's openening scene. Very sad/shocking.

I almost make man tears every time I do that mission. For the most epic result take Varric with you and have the Gasgard guy help you get there.

Just so absurd and out there.

sums up my feelings

Already knew she would die because it was spoiled on here by some idiot in the none spoiler forum but that made it easier to play. I would have been in pieces otherwise trying to save her.

It was rather jarring though which sounds strange in a fantasy game involving magic but playing a quest involving abduction and a serial killer was a little too real in a way plus the gruesome demise was just absurd even for a fantasy RPG and did not enjoy it at all either story wise or gameplay wise.  Kill the character off - fine but the means to get there I didn't care for.

"It can't be it can't be it can't be it can't be" was playing on repeat in my mind during that scene

It was a powerful and sad scene, i can see it's purpose in the larger templar vs mage storyline, but still pretty nasty way to go about it.

I'm thinking my next mage will spare Gascard, refuse his ritual, and later feel that her refusal is what doomed her mother and in turn turns to blood magic herself. Best story supported way i can think of to get the Blood Mage specialization.

[Skyline19]

Yeah it was very sad, I thought she might have died at some point but not so graphically!

[Woffen5]

If it stirs such emotions in people, then it achieves its purpose and therefor well done. I didnt feel much at the death of either carver or bethany but this.. I was pissed of for a well 30 minutes after.

I think it was more a shocking tonal jerk than anything. It's definitely Bold Territory, but I think I'm with those who say it doesn't fit.

In particular given that DA2 was trying to be a more personal story, it's really kind of out there that Hawke kind of got in, got out and got on with his life. I feel like her murder, specially in the context of mages-versus-templar, would've worked better as the central quest of Act II than the Qunari silliness (why are we afraid of a group of giants that a band of four people can defeat quadra-handedly, again?). If it'd been a more involved telling of Hawke tracking down her killer and being really seriously unhinged disturbed over the whole thing, the way, you know, a -real human- would be on walking in to find their mother's head sewed to a necrobody, I would've really gone for it. As it was...nice job being startling and gruesome, but deep and interesting? Nopp.

They should release DLC where you get there just in time and bash the guys head in and then give him to a troll to eat. I'd pay $10 for that. Poor woman, she suffers thinking her parents never loved her, gets chased from her home by monsters, her children killed, and then gets captured by a serial killer. Nice life.

[BuddyBurkman]

I'd like to state that I did literally cry.

[Auroras]

 My heart was pounding ridiculously quickly when I saw the woman, dead on the table, that Hawke thought was Leandra. Just the was she said "mother!" was heartbreaking. 

And then, the real kicker -- "You know me, I always save the day!" in a panicked, forcibly happy way...
