Same. It keeps doing that to me. I have to hit Ctrl + C before I submit just in case. It's really infuriating. At any rate, it's probably one of those down the line type of things. She may seem fine now (just as Cullen did at first) but it may negatively affect her outlook on things down the line. So for now, neither of us is right.
What browser are you using? I'm using the latest Opera. I don't know why it does this.
True. I actually hope for some negatve impact. As it is Bethany's...too peaceful. I want some RAGE.

I'm replaying the game too, but I'm fairly certain the word "illegal" wasn't used
Maybe it was banned? I don't know...I know Aveline mentioned the templars wanting them confisicated. And Anders' also mentions the templars not wanting someoneto have the books. Going by that I'd say they were illegal or only meant for certain hands (like Orsino's).
I think she's guilty of gross inaction, which puts her on the same level of culpability as the Templars. At the very least a little less so. I don't think she should've stayed neutral. It's her duty to protect the mages too. She wasn't protecting them. She was saying "We will wait until the Maker intervenes". Do I think she deserved to die? No. Am I upset that she was killed, so much so that I'm screaming "MAKER NOOOO!!!!!"? No.
Maker no?

Ah Seb. Your misery amuses me so. I find her guilty of not doing her damn job. She didn't deserve to die for it (no one deserves to be killed other than those that kill others) but she should've been fired a long time ago.
But as another poster said (I think it was Xzilhra? I don't know I can't remember what his/her name was exactly), it's possible Elthina thought that the only way she could truly help was by being removed from the picture completely. That she expected to be killed and knew that if she was gone, Meredith would invoke the RoA. If that's the case (and a few lines seem to support this theory) then she isn't guilty in my mind.
That's kind of depressing but fits in with he whole "the greatest thing one can do is sacrifice themself for another" thing.
It's possible Quentin withheld information. Though I agree, the knowledge of how to turn into a Harvester (assuming it was actually in the letter that Orsino responded to) would make me step back and say "Whoa there senor!"
Yeah it's a bit iffy. Orsino really shouldn't have been helping him in the first place. And the whole bloodmagic and necromancy and I can't really buy Orsino being ignorant. He's either a villian or a fool and frankly I rather him be a villian...then again he's still kind of a fool with turning into Harvester
and attacking his own allies. <_<
I see your point. I wouldn't be able to stay on the forums if that was the case due to all the hate it would generate. I think there should've been the option though to hand Anders over to Meredith.
NERD RAGE.
That said yes I would've liked Meredith to atleast
attempt to kill Anders. Maybe have Hawke stop her if the player wanted to.
A desire demon nurtures whatever desire a person wants. In this case, it seemed to nurture the desire to live. And this is Kirkwall remember? This is the place with the weakest Veil in Thedas, where Demons can easily pop up. When the Veil is torn, demons are able to move through (Warden's Keep, The Blackmarsh, etc..). And not all mages are strong enough to resist temptation
My issue with that is the mages are taught time and time again
that demons will always trip you up. They know this. They've faced this before (the harrowing) and yet they do it anyway! I give the non-mage companions a little more leeway because they're not used to it. But...Merrill has no excuse.
As for not being strong enough to resist temptation that is true. The problem istheir inability to resist affects far more than just themselves so I will condemn them for it. What they did as only human and its understandable however I still can't be neutral on it because they endanger others with their actions.
