I played through MotA from the "Join Tallis or leave" split both ways.

As near as I can tell:

• You find the caches for your other party members either way (if applicable)
• The ending doesn't really change either way (Bioware, this is another example of how DA2 tends to force you to a certain outcome, regardless of your choices; not good!)

However, there are differences:

• You get very slightly more XP for leaving Tallis behind (a few hundred, I think; not really anything to write home about).
• The encounters between this point and the end of the game change. I think the only ramification of this is that you don't fight Baron Arlange if you leave Tallis, and therefore don't get his sword and shield. (Though maybe it's possible to get them earlier--can you kill him during the wyvern hunt?) However, I personally found the fight with the two wyverns to be the more interesting option. A shame that they don't drop any loot. =/

Any other pros/cons to going one way or the other?

you cant kill that Quanari Tallis is talking about, the one who runs after the road up to get more help.

@Johnsen1972, I think the qunari you are referring to is just some random Tal-Vashoth. I don't think he has a name. Salit is the only named qunari in the group, and he gets eaten by Leopold.

No one else playing Mark of the Assassin?

Hi, I've only played through twice so far, first time staying with Tallis and second time leaving, so not got enough examples to know if the differences were definitely due to the different choice. However, this is the difference between the two play throughs I experienced

Staying with Tallis: Fenris moaned about us helping the Qunari. Fought that Baron guy, fought some random ghasts, fought the Tal'Vashoth, got the cache of goods. Confronted Duke and on completing battle, got the option to ask Tallis to stay with us (didn't really mean it and not surpised that it was refused), got the option to ask for the scroll but refused by Tallis. Got given jewel instead. Felt insulted that writers forgot why I originally took on this quest.

Leaving Tallis: Fenris commented he was glad she'd gone. Got a pleasant stroll with friends. Anders chatted to me about my father. Got cache of goods. Watched Wyvern fight (helping whichever Wyvern seemed to be getting the worse of it so they both keeled over simultaneously). Had another chat with Anders about how he approved that I had earned my title rather than just inherited it. Got to look over a viewpoint, saw ruins in distance and decided to investigate - stumbled on rendeavouz between Duke and Salit. Saw a cut scene with Tallis in mask impersonating one of his soldiers take scroll from Duke (I'm sure we didn't get this first time round). Fought Duke, didn't get option to ask for scroll but did get option to ask for payment. Ignored this option, got given the jewel anyway. Felt insulted that writers didn't remember why I originally took on this quest.

So essentially there is very little difference between the two, except that without Tallis we seemed a lot happier, had less agro on the way to the ruins and generally had a much more enjoyable spell appreciating the lovely scenery. I may have failed to get the scroll but at least I didn't personally kill any Tal'Vashoth, so it is the option that least benefits Tallis and her rotten Qun. Didn't realise I got more points for doing that - even a small benefit for ditching the b..ehm .. Qun is appreciated.

Thanks, Gervaise. That was my experience, too. Though by ditching Tallis, you miss the opportunity to loot the sword and shield from the Baron. (Though my Aveline was using Edge of Night and Courage, which were both superior to the Baron's equipment, I think.)

You could just kill the Baron after his initial attack when Prosper asks how you want to punish him. Tallis hums and haws about it, but she's a g.d. assassin for crying out loud, why one earth does she feel bad about killing people?!

Personally, I wasn't too thrilled at the idea of helping Tallis at all when I found out she was a qunari, but staying with her or leaving her doesn't really change the outcome that much.
