I killed Marjolaine on my first 2 runs, so that she could never come back and hurt Leliana. though I didn't even realise you could harden Leliana like that, I've always reassured her and said that she's nothing like Marjolaine. I have no idea what a hardened leliana would be like.
Should I have killed Marjolaine?

So, without too many spoilers please, should I have killed Marjolaine? Is it okay to have let her go? Will everything be okay with Leliana, or did I just cripple what should have bloomed into a wonderful relationship?
Yes, that ***** deserved to die for what she did to Leliana.

I want to do the right thing by Leliana because... well, we're moving gradually towards an intimate relationship built on trust and respect, so needless to say this is important to my character.
In conversation with Marjolaine, the options that seemed to offer most solidarity with, and support for, Leliana seemed to lead naturally to letting M go.
Yes, because when someone betrays a person you love, gets them tortured and almost killed, then chases after them and sends mercenaries to kill them the most supportive response is to let them get away with it.
That **** dies every time, and I don't even like Leliana all that much.
Whether she lives or dies does not change anything in Leliana's relationship with the Warden.

Makes no difference to the romance of Lelianna.
Now what you say to her AFTER encountering Marjolaine does. One conversation path will get you a "nice" girl (still a lover). One conversation path will get you a "naughty girl" (still good person, but open to . . . sharing experiences).

ZOMG the original post is 5 months old. How'd this get ressurected?

Sorry for the thread necromancy, but this is an interesting topic and I was wondering about it today.
Letting Marj go seems to be what Lel wants, and it is the "merciful" choice. Lel is all about redemption, mercy, and learning not to be the killer Marj tried to make her become. So, I'm tempted to let Marj go.
On the other hand, Marj handed Lel over to be killed once, spied on her, and then tried to have her killed a second time, and my character along with her. Marj can't be convinced that Lel is through with her, that it's over, and while in game she never comes back there seems to be a strong implication that she will try to kill Lel again. I've always killed Marj. It's not merciful, or what Lel wants, but it is the only way to be sure she won't keep striking at Lel every few years.
So, thoughts?
Ah . . . no . . . no redemption for Marjolaine. She makes it very clear that she cannot leave Lelianna alone and has no intention of doing so. So in my mind she's GOING to try to kill Lelianna again - may as well just grease her now.
This one was an easy one for me in my mind.

The fact that she is going to keep chasing Leliana is a good enough reason to kill her.

I play my Mage a little all over the place, but some people you just have to abide by the philosophy 'Don't spare a person today you will have to kill tomorrow'. Not touching on anything deep, I saw NOTHING redeeming about our Elder Bard. She's a killer, and she just wanted to buy more time to try to kill again, just this time more correctly, imo.

Leliana is still the one who makes the decision to kill Marjolaine if you simply remind her that Marjolaine won't ever stop hunting her.

I am usually pretty merciful with most of my characters but Marjolaine is the one character I never spare. It's not simply what she did to Leliana, which is utterly inexcusable in itself, but the fact she's also an Orlesian bard, and therefore a danger to Fereldan. She has to die.

Margie is proof that some people just need "killing" if only every annoying character in the game could be dealt with as she is, Ferelden would be a much happier and quieter place.

Indeed; like Vaughan, my City Elf wanted her dead.

I allways kill her, once she is dead Leliana will see a closure of her past life and can go on.

Wasn't it Shaka Zulu who said "Never leave an enemy behind."?
Aside from that, just having to listen to her go on and on about wet dogs is enough to earn execution in my book.

I actually let Marj live in all of my play throughs except the last one. In the last one, Lelianna seemed so much happier with Marj dead. It was like her old life was really was over. She could finally move on. She can finally be who she wants to be and not who she was made to be. I really think that this is the best option for Lelianna's sake.
