I don't understand why she gets angry if you stop someone from profiteering, offer to save the Blacksmith's daughter or lots of other game choices that are really intended not to just "save someone" but in general...save and preserve human life. AND show that you're capable of trust, mercy and having someone else's interests other than your own always in mind. Grey Wardens are supposed to save humanity as a whole, what's the actual harm in saving a few individual humans? I don't agree with her viewpoint that "all these cretins would do it if they could" or falling back on "survival of the fittest" as if it were always a matter of strength. There's power in acts of grace, and being rich enough and strong enough to do more than expected is part of building a reputation and loyalty. The entire point of the game, really.
Being insanely petty enough to resent giving five gold to two recently orphaned kids is ridiculous.
I understand the profiteering merchant bit. That merchant saw what was coming, cornered the market on certain things, and therefore deserves to profit from his foresight. Not his fault others sold him the stuff. Not his fault for charging what the market will bear. That's sort of the point of being a merchant. So why are you limiting his freedom to aid those too stupid to have bought the stuff themselves before now? She's big on power, she's big on freedom. Curtailing the merchant hits both those areas.
The Blacksmith's daughter, I can sort of see. The blacksmith wants a promise, so it isn't just "we're heading that direction, we'll keep an eye out." It is a promise to search. Now you're going out of your way to help. Same thing iwth the 5 gold. The 5 gold could be better spent on equiping the party or the army to fight the darkspawn. A pair of orphans are irrelevant. Basically, both her and Sten see helping kittens down from trees as a waste of time that doesn't help accomplish the real goal: the blight.
Morrigan showing she's capable of mercy and having someone else's interest in mind? Should be obvious what the problem there is. I'm sure if you asked her about mercy, she'd scoff and there'd go some more approval rating. And she'd probably have some delightful story about how someone was merciful and then got gutted for being so stupid.
And as to the entire point of the game, Morrigan's is to get one of those two wet behind the ears wardens to agree to do a blood magic ritual so she can have a god-baby to do with what she and Flemeth (originally anyway) will.
Not to say there aren't problems where her and Sten's attitude. It is a game, we side quest for xp, items, and money, plus so the game lasts longer. Having two characters kick you in the jimmy for doing that is rather counterproductive to enjoying the game. And tied to that, it isn't consistantly applied. Pretty much just inside Redcliffe, little bit in Lothering.
Retour en haut
there has been no contact with anyone inside the castle for some time. Unless you make a huge leap of faith, there is nothing to tell you that the castle is held and defended by anything. Finding a way in and resolving the problem is the direct route.
