...alright, now here's an interesting question that crosses my mind.
What if the Warden finds the cure, but it ends up being a 'cure could be worse than the disease' kind of deal? As in, they might be cured, but the process is more agonizing than the Joining itself. There's about a 50/50, maybe greater, chance that it will just strike them dead right there.
Let's say rather than take it, the Warden holds onto it and goes back to Leliana. What would she suggest I wonder. Take the gamble and potentially live a full life, or live out the few years the Warden may have being a Warden made during a Blight as best they can? We know Wardens who lived through Blights die even younger than usual.
I'm torn. I think she...might try? If they made a Warden DLC, this would be a good choice. :S

Take it, Warden's lived through worse.

Mainly this forums' negative attitudes towards any civilized debates

Then take your 'civilized debates' somewhere else. Maybe one of the million other threads out there for it.

Not here. I like it here.

If this is the leliana thread, can't we also talk about Divine Leliana? I consider her becoming divine to be he best end for her story assuming she doesn't appear again

Errr, not if it's a trollbait.

[thats1evildude]

Some of us aren't crazy about the prospects of a relationship with Divine Leliana.

 

Luckily, I'm a templar supporter, so rah rah Divine Cassandra.

All Divine debates do in here is cause tiresome arguments in a thread that is usually quite peaceful. It's much nicer in here when this is a Leliana thread, not a Divine Victoria thread.

Talk about it all you want if that's all you're doing, but all darkone does is look for an argument about it. Everywhere. It's annoying. Unless he genuinely thinks all Leliana fans are Divine Leliana fans and pulling his usual shenanigans in here will get unanimous agreement and start nothing.

Let's try an alternate topic: do you think Leliana would enjoy Nug Elope?

Oh definitely.

She'd make a cameo as the Mother of Nugs. Ends up Schmooples has made them worship her like a goddess.

My Warden would take the chance. I assume that any cure for the Calling shouldn't be easy. I think it should be a life or death gamble or one in a lifetime deal. Maybe choosing who would be cured, BioWare style

Makes me wonder if my Warden would even want to tell the rest of the Wardens in this scenario. With the massive potential death toll, she might be worried she'd kill half the organisation rather than save them...

You've created this disturbing image for me of baby nugs trying to suckle Leliana's breasts. (It's from the book. The TV show left that part out.)

Somewhere out there, there's fanart of that.

I had forgotten about that detail, perhaps it's time for me to go back and do a reread 

 

Mother of Nugs has a nice ring to it though, she has her children Schooples, Boulette and...

 

The Nug has three heads, there must be a another

Don't give Bioware ideas, pls.

 

 

What if the cure gets painful after you get it and then, either the warden lives or dies... and Leliana has to endure seeing her lover in pain and wonder if she'll live or die.

I don't know how to feel about this curing the Calling business. Wardens and Blights are a huge part of Thedas lore and curing the Calling kinda cheapens these storylines, if that makes any sense. But on the other hand I'm really curious of what the Wardens will find in that quest. The Primaveral Thaig/Deep Roads/Lights of Arlathan always fascinated me.

 

I get the feeling both a surviving Warden and the Inquisitor are screwed in the long run (I don't trust for a second that the Anchor is going to remain a pretty glowing hand).

 

Doesn't mean that I wouldn't enjoy some closure for the Warden, so that they are able to make the most of what's left of their life.

 

I kinda miss my ambiguity already. :S

Always saw you as a dude, your avi didn't fool me   but I can pretend otherwise if u want

Look at it this way: if they can cure the taint, they can essentially cure the blight. One can imagine that the cure would be like poison to Darkspawn. Cue a huge war to control it and use it as a bargaining chip. Also unscrupulous individuals deliberately spreading the blight as a war tactic. Biological warfare in Thedas!

I'll be happy so long as we get the damn closure. At the moment it doesn't seem like Bioware even intends on following up on it. 

 

As for the cure itself, Snook's post sounds similar to what I pictured in my head. Instead of the cure simply curing the blight, I thought of it as sort of a second joining ritual that would empower the Grey Warden's abilities. Participating in said ritual would again be a struggle for control, where the Warden either succeeds, and thus gains greater control of the Blight, or a failure that would probably accelerate the corruption.

[TrouserSnake]

The quest to cure the calling is weird to me. On one hand it just seems like a convenient excuse for live wardens to be out of the picture. On the other it seems like it is potentially to big a thing to never do something with it and just leave up to head canon. I hope it gets adressed somehow so my main man Cousland and Leliana can actually get their ride off into the sunset ending like Weekes claimed every live Warden got, which isn't really true. Seriously want some kinda closure on this stuff, but it seems less and less likely to happen sadly

[thats1evildude]

It could be that the "quest to end the calling" is actually pretty boring, but time-intensive. That strikes me as the sort of thing that requires a lot of research.

Regarding the Calling Cure and Blights, I've stumbled on something rather interesting that might connect to Leliana's resistance to the Blight in In Hushed Whispers.

 

If you kill all 10 Dragons in Inquisition there's a war table mission Learn More About Dragons. If you choose Josie or Leliana to do it, it says in the report that dragons have shown resistance to the Blight. 

 

There was an interesting theory on Tumblr about Alistair having a resistance since he has dragon blood in him.

 

And Leliana also has a resistance to the Blight as well, she's actually the first confirmed character in the DA universe to have that ability. So, does that mean she has dragon blood in her as well? Are her and Alistair somehow distantly related?

 

Either way, I still hold onto the fact there's something secret regarding Leliana's character that the devs are keeping it to themselves. She is resistant to the Blight, she claims to have heard the voice of the Maker, and if she is killed she gets resurrected even though the Urn of Sacred Ashes is gone. Leli what are you hiding...

I can see it now...after one final goodbye kiss, maybe to the tune of a downplayed Leliana's Song, Warden tearfully closes her eyes and rests her forehead on Leliana's, uncorks the bottle containing the cure, and after a moment of hesitation...lifts it to her lips and drinks. 

 

AND THEN CREDITS

So either way, curing the Calling backfires. Unscrupulous individual find a way to make a new Calling, and we are back to where we begin

Or the Blight resistance might also have something to do with Nugs. Serioulsy we NEVER met any Nug darkspawn. And curing the Calling will require the sacrifice of all the Nugs. There, gut-wrenching choice.

Leliana has the highest concentration of midi-chlorians of any being I've ever - *dodges tomato*

But hey, on the plus side, the Warden might be able to grow old with Leliana. That's what really matters here. :S

[thats1evildude]

They should cut to black just before the Warden takes the potentially fatal cure.
