We can call it a tie, but I don't think we're disagreeing. We're just coming to the same point by differnt roads, so we're like that old Scottish song(?), high road and low road...

Awesomsauce, the Alistair fan club vs Morrigan fan club saga continues till next year.

Edit: Would be nice if we're on the same side in a discussion. I want to see the avalanche going one way.

This would probably cause a rip in the space/time continuum, and cause the forums to explode.  I have found, however, that as much as my conscience didn't want me to, I have had to side with Lotion, somebody that I just really can't be in a conversation with.  But when somebody is right, they are right.

So until the next big debate, have a drink on me, and a happy holiday, I have to go start mine soon, dinner at my brother's.  I'll probably need a doctor afterwards, he cooks like Alistair.

Hm... not sure.



My first one was a mostly good guy... and I went Human Noble Warrior, Morrigan, Leliana, and Sten.

Yes, I modeled my first team off the video.

I think people don't understand the characters and their motivations, especially a character such as Morrigan.



I play all female party, by the way, and have no problems even on Nightmare.



Morrigan is not evil, per se. At most, she is practical and a survivor over all other concerns. In fact, if you play with her (as I do) you will see that she learns that there are other advantages to helping others due to long term consequences (rather than short term gains/survival). It's important to remember that Morrigan has zero social skills that many people take for granted because she has never had the opportunity to be part of any sort of social life (aside from her friends in nature, of course). Also, Flemeth was not a kind, nurturing mother, but rather and abusive, beat-the-lesson-into-you figure, so Morrigan has no idea of how to give or receive kindness, or even why such an effort should be made by either party. Obviously, this is part of what she learns in traveling with you (if you are doing generally "good" things, anyway).



It's also worth remembering that Morrigan actually desires to travel the world and see locations with her own eyes, and experience other sensations with her own senses. She will certainly offer a resigned comment and slight disapproval of decisions you make that she deems to be a waste of effort (due to her upbringing, mind you) but she accepts that you are the one making such decisions regardless of what they may be. She accepted that from the outset when she began her journey with you, and she is not one to change her mind once she decides to do something of her own accord. Again, she is practical to a fault, so even if she disapproves of a decision, her desire to go with you tempers her disapproval because she is more than well aware of her own shortcomings in social graces and inbility to understand how the world at large works. In order to learn, she knows she must be patient, and her own practical nature causes her to suppress any kneejerk impulse to leave due to decisions you make.

I've never chosen an "alignment" based party because it's impossible. This ain't D and D. It's a game world where morality is as fixed as the weather. And, personally, I enjoy netting some disapproval from party members, enjoy the arguements and disagreements because it adds reality to the game.



I found Morrigan disapproves of damned near anything that I did. However, because there's so many Morrigan friendly gifts in game, it is easy to return to her good graces in no time. Unless you are playing a mass damage oriented mage, there are a few quests where I find her indispensable, such as the blood mage warehouse in Denerim, where basically, the place is infested with heavy hitting mages, and you need someone who can take out or incapacitate as many and as quickly as possible, else you're very dead, very quickly.



But don't stick with one single party set up. Rotate them frequently, because different quests and areas require different sets of talent. The only exception to this rule was Alistair, as he was the only tank in game. Because I find two-handed abilities useless, and they take too long to activate and execute, neither one has every functioned well as a tank, despite giving them even better armor than Alistair. Thus, I only bring them along when a mage is not needed, and there's alot of heavy-armored enemies than need heavy-damage. Unless you are playing a shield-warrior yourself and thus can function as your own tank, I find that the only two necessary constants, party-wise, are Alistair and a rogue, because damned near every area in game has locked boxes, and many have traps, too.



But the most important thing about rotating your party, in my opinion, is the banter, because the banter is hilarious, and new ones open up depending on who is traveling with you.

I'm a noobie, and I played as a 2H warrior, Alistair as my tank, Wynne as my healer and Morrigan as my damage dealer. I played a good character and had Ali and Morrigan at +100 most of the time, so really don't hesitate to take Morrigan! I didn't have the greatest rating with wynne because I didn't like her that much, while I thought Alistair and Morrigan are great

Just because Morrigan doesn't agree with everything you do or say doesn't mean you shouldn't bring her along for a good walk through. Not really sure what the argument is here. The question is why not bring Morrigan along? If it's because she doesn't agree with everything you decide to do then perhaps you should just figure how to get 3 Hounds in your party. Just because someone doesn't agree with you doesn't make them evil, and just because they do doesn't make them good.
