I wonder if...

 

Spoiler

drinking from the well (no matter what race you are) means that you will no longer b who "you were" as in like if the "spirit/essence" of Mythal will take control of your mind and body just like the fear demon wanted too and you are not the same person anymore... ?

[CuriousArtemis]

Oh yeah, that will remain canon for my Lavellan too!

 

Even though the game didn't really let me express it, my inquisitor believed in his people and was 100% behind Solas in restoring them to their rightful place. He drank from the well eagerly and with the joy that somehow it would bring him closer to his gods (all the while ignoring Solas's screaming at him not to do so from behind lol).

This is Flemeth from the previous two games. In this game, Flemeth's story comes to a head-- she knew that Solas would summon her, and that he would need to steal her power to further his plans. She knew that because they are both elven gods... yet Solas has slept for a thousand years and his power dwindled, while she was killed long ago and a spark escaped from her into the body she now holds. She has nurtured that spark, and knew that Solas would need it. He was once her oldest friend, but she knows that in his drive to restore the elven people he will kill anyone-- even her. She intends to let him have the power, so long as she can pass the essence of her god-hood onto Morrigan, a gift Flemeth had always planned for her daughter yet one Morrigan misunderstood as hostile possession.

Yaaaaaaaaasssssssssss

My Elidri just did it because she didn't trust Morrigan to drink from it. I think if it came to choosing between Solas and Morrigan, she'd really struggle to choose which one she distrusts least.

[Hellion Rex]

So. I guess this means

Spoiler

Flemeth's mortal form is truly dead. Only Mythal remains.

I don't actually believe that. I see it as her giving herself willingly. Not him taking it by force.

AAAnnnd I think its time for me to head back in the shadows since my posts don't seem to make much sense anyways and usually tends to get skipped     Merry Christmas yall once again

Spoiler

Well, there's got to be some sort of change, that's for sure. Considering the fact that when Morrigan drinks from the well she does so gracefully, and when *you* do it the water explodes messily, I'm sure that's symptomatic of something, but I'm not sure what.

Haha Auren did not trust Morrigan but bought into Solas heart, body, and soul. Well, not body, sniff sniff  But one of my favorite lines was when he said "The humans will always find a reason to blame us" (to paraphrase) and Solas agreed. It felt like they were on the same side. And Auren found someone amidst all these terrifying shem with whom he could relate and look up to. 

 

Morrigan just seemed too suspicious to him. Now of course I know she's BioWare's baby and could definitely be trusted lol but he didn't know that.

[Owlfruit Potion]

The spoilery stuff is really neat and makes the Flemeth / Morrigan scenes even more heartbreaking in context. But I'm confused now as to what the scene where

Spoiler

Flemeth takes the OGB's sparkly god-soul thing from him means in this context. Is that dead now too? Floating around somewhere? In Solas??

 

EDITED to add: Agree with everyone who said

Spoiler

their elves drank but non-elves didn't. Between me!Trev and Morrigan it felt like cultural theft for either of us to drink, but I figured at least Morrigan knew more about elven culture than I did. I'm not clear on how Morrigan isn't just bound to Solas's will now, though.

 

And CA, given how dreams reflect our feelings about things first and foremost, after the Sad Iron Bull Prom thing I'm just glad to hear the recent news has you in a happy enough place about Cullen to have a happier dream (seeking him out, but seems to me like in the dream you knew he was there to find, sooner or later). Hopefully as the modders do their thing they'll continue to improve to happy / hot dreams!

 

I don't know if I'll be around the next few days, so happy holidays and happy New Year to everyone! May 2015 bring us an embarassment of DLC riches.

Exactly, she did let him have it freely.

[MelissaGT]

Despite what those spoilers might mean...

 

Spoiler

I don't actually regret having my Inquisitor drink from the well. It felt right to have my elven Inquisitor drink, while I'd probably have a human Inquisitor let Morrigan drink from the well instead.

 

Interested in seeing where this all leads, though.

 

Ok so maybe I'm being dense...I AM drinking while wrapping presents, lol.

 

Spoiler

How exactly does this revelation correlate to drinking (or not drinking) from the well? Is it because of the "bound to Mythal" thing? So far I've had one quizzy drink and the other not...and to be honest I think I preferred having her drink.

Oh gee that is a really sweet thing to say  Tbh I was laughing at myself when I told you guys about the prom dream lol I was like, I cannot believe I'm so upset about this I had a dream about it. It put things into perspective ("It's just a game!") and how could I not share a dream like that

 

I think just hearing the audio files got me excited and in fangirl mode again, especially when quizzy says, "Cullen..." in wonder and affection  I could just picture Auren's face saying it. I started thinking about picking up my fanfic again even. But truthfully I don't anticipate resolution on this; BW won't be patching the romance in (I'm just sure of it) and half the modders say it is impossible.

 

For me I consider DAI a bust; just last night I was contemplating a 2nd playthrough, just because I wanted to make a 2nd elf in the CC and try out some of the mage outfits (okay armors) but with no romantic prospects it just sapped all desire out of me to do so. I guess I know why I play Dragon Age games now lol I imagine I would've hated DA2 if I hadn't liked my romance options. me<---hypocrite

Spoiler

If it means that Morrigan could now have Mythal's essence, then this might make some players feel like having Morrigan drink from the well is the better choice. Or, if the Inquisitor drank, it could mean that Morrigan now has control over the Inquisitor.

 

Personally, it doesn't make me feel any different about drinking from the well, so I'll make whatever choice feels appropriate for my Inquisitor.

Well, the thing is the IQ doesn't have all this info, so I will continue to play it like I see it! My quizzy trusts Morrigan about as far as she can throw her!

Yep. Though, I'd be lying if I said that outside information hasn't influenced some of my decisions in BioWare games. Mental gymnastics are sometimes needed to justify the decisions.

Wow, what a spoiler! Good thing I finished the game  

 

I don't regret letting my Lavellen drink from the Well, and I can't wait to see what the consequence BW has in store for in the future (hopefully in a DLC and not DA4 - the wait!) 

 

Happy holidays, everyone~~~~~ 

[Zarro-Morningstar]

So I just read all of the spoilers...and OH MY GOD! That is amazing...I know what am going to do from now on...well for every IQ that is not in a romance with Solas.

Spoiler

what i gathered from that "spoiler" bit is... doesn't that mean that Mythal's essence IS within the well and that who ever drinks it weather is Morrigan or the inq gains that and perhaps later on *gets* to have Mythall with in them? Even tho Flemeth intended for Morrigan to drink it instead of the Inq?

Spoiler

Couldn't say for sure. It's just (more) speculation at this point. I figured that Flemeth had some sort of plan to pass on Mythal's essence to Morrigan upon her "death".

[OfficerDonNZ]

All this talk about age is making me feel mine

 

It can be hard to peg how old someone is on the web. Which can be both a good and bad thing.

[Tishina]

Ha! At this age, my mom just hands me the money to go buy them, b/c to her, all video games look the same anyways.

I'd buy them for my kids, except they've usually bought them before I can ask. So they buy them for me

 

I see I missed the conversation on ages (probably just as well since some of you would make my oldest daughter feel old ) And missed the conversation on an interesting spoiler. I'd been wondering how some of that would work with what happened at the Well of Sorrows.

 

And... DAI is finally installing on my desktop, and my daughter has my save file from her computer ready to transfer (in several hours at the current DL rate).

So do you think that's what she sent into the mirror? The Mythal essence, for Morrigan to find?

And as we're talking about ages, I've been estimated both older and younger throughout my life (and that one person who said "you're probably older than you look" xD). My favorite one though was the guy whose best guess was an age range of twenty years - with my actual age at the time being exactly in the middle!


And since I seem to have top here's a Cullen looking small next to the Qunquisitor because it never fails to amuse me.

A few nights ago I had a dream that R2 and I were at a business meeting. Varric showed up, stole my very expensive shoes that I had kicked off under the table. The CIA showed up and Varric was all "Welp... time for me to go!". I want my shoes back, you bastard!

I have no idea, really. Possibly? There are some people in the reddit thread thinking that may have been what she was doing.
