Armaas, the man who was given protection from the Taint by the Darkspawn, would beg to differ. And considering the Warden can't say "I sense the Taint in you" as all Wardens are capable of doing, I'd say he did get protection from the Taint.
That doesn't change anything. Are we going to give talismans to trees and pigs, too? And the sky? Have you read what the blight does to the land in general?
But let's say we actually do all of this. What if the darkspawn decide that breeding through rape sounds better than putting up with humans or elves? By their very existence they are still toxic, they might just choose not to poison.
Which isn't actually necessary, as David Gaider has said in the past that the Taint sustains the Darkspawn. Supported by, as I said, Corypheus, the Architect, and the Ancient Darkspawn.
And, apparently, Larius says the same thing.
So creating broodmothers isn't a necessity unless they actually want more Darkspawn brothers in their sentience. They don't need to do it to survive.
I already said: darkspawn die. Unless they're happy with a slow slide into extinction, they're going to need to replace numbers that die through argument, falling down while not paying attention, etc. etc. etc.
If a tribe of awakened darkspawn decide they'd like 4 more, that means a woman has to be violated, raped, and mutated. There's no way around this.
Only if they so choose, as per the lore the Darkspawn are not prone to death by aging.
They're prone to death by falling down a flight of stairs as much as we are. They're prone to aggression.
Look at our own damn society: death by natural causes (i.e., disease/aging) is not our only cause of death. The darkspawn will go extinct as a mathematical certainty if they don't reproduce.
Only if they choose to fight humanity. Personally, I'd rather give someone the chance at compromise and negotiation rather then spend an eternity fighting a mindless monster.
And I'd rather avoid an eternal blight that we have absolutely no hope of winning against. Which is exactly what we might end up with if we have to trust the magnamity of the Architect or Corypheus to be allowed to continue existing.
And considering we have no idea what will happen when all of the Old Gods are slain, it could be argued that one possibility is that all of the Darkspawn will become sentient. And as a result, go mad from having no Song of the Old Gods playing in their heads and from the confusion of what the hell is happening.
Or maybe they all just explode and the Maker returns and gives us candy.
Whereas with the Architect's plan, he can slowly get them to embrace their sentience and understand morality, especially with his talks with the Wardens of what should and shouldn't be done -- as Avernus' notes in DAII seem to indicate that they are corresponding.
The Architect's plan is to genocide the lot of us, either by making us into GWs (and later darkspawn) or ghouls.
Retour en haut
or atleast i think.
