Those infected with the taint after several years turn into ghouls.
What about Darkspawn that drink Grey Warden blood?,will they slowly turn into their original form after several years?,will no longer hear the Old Gods?

[SerCambria358]

Darkspawn have no original form, they've only been darkspawn. I guess they may become a bit more human looking while also gaining a significant boost in intelligence as well but they most likely wouldnt become fully human.

[Al Foley]

The Archetect, Coryphyus, Desciples, etc, look more human but they are still dark spawn.  Probably when you get awakened you get a better sense of proper walking habits and a renewed sense of hygiene, but you are still what you are. 

[Exaltation]

They do have original form,broodmothers of different race give birth to different darkspawn.
Human = Hurlock, Dwarf = Genlock, Elf = Shriek, Qunari = Ogre.

according to what i understand from the calling, something in the warden blood drowns out the noise...  but if that was the case, why arent normal grey wardens able to ignore the noise as well... i mean when they are younger they do so, but when the calling gets closer, it gets worse driving them to go into the deep roads to end it....  im more concerned about the wardens who survive their calling and go mad from the noise.... what do they turn into

I dont see how that changes what i said 

[Wolfen09]

Probably something similar to Larius (granted his problem was Corypheus, but I think the general effects and behavior would be the same).

 

i discount larius, he seemed to be too recently into his calling....  like maybe a few years...  im talkin more like 10 - 20 plus years

[NoForgiveness]

Well the actual darkspawns' original form is a darkspawn.... so no to that. A ghoul may become more like a grey warden but not cured of taint completely. Utha goes bald and changes a lot in the the calling but we see in daa she has hair. This is probably because of the architects experiments or something though. Also the taint is physical stuff in the body, and the resistance to it that grey wardens have isn't....

[Wolfen09]

the taint wont kill, it just turns them into ghouls and such... which is kind of like death i guess...  wesley was not going to die, he was just going to become a mindless darkspawn slave with templar armor....

[Nyeredzi]

but they will still need brood mothers to breed, as well as food.... problematic, very problematic.

[KaiserShep]

They'll still be subterranean, parasitic super-lepers, and that's all they'll ever be until they're wiped out...if they're ever wiped out.

[Wolfen09]

get jesus in there, he can cure the super lepers

[Hanako Ikezawa]

The Awakened Darkspawn are the Darkspawn ghouls you're thinking of. They were exposed to the Warden resistance and will slowly lose contact with the Archdemons and gain their own intelligence while a Ghoul slowly hears the call and becomes part of the 'group mind'.

The Messenger basically becomes Batman if you let him go in Awakening.

A mix between Batman and Typhoid Mary.

There's no proof the two are connected. 

[Wolfen09]

seriously?  great, now someone is gonna write a fanfic featuring the messenger as batman

Darkspawn must obey voice of old gods so they are kinda out of their mind in their "normal" state. They can't make decision of themselves so I'd say it's close to indoctrination from ME. They hear voice they must obey. When this voice is cut out from their brain they develop to be more intelligent and have personalities as well. I don't think they can be thought as  mindless monsters in this state. I don't see them as humans but more like race of humanoids since although they are physically really different they have similar mind as humans when voice of old gods doesn't affect them anymore. So I think they are definitely close to humans and other races.

 

I would actually love to free Darkspawn and watch how they develop from there. However I don't agree with Architects plan to change all other races with taint so they can interact with Darkspawn and kills huge percentage of population in the process. I don't think there will ever be safe way for Darkspawn to interact with other races since I doubt they can be freed from their taint. If there was peaceful solution for them and other races to exist they need to stay in Deep roads. Then I don't know how long they can survive without new broodmothers making new darkspawn. I don't also know what are their normal lifespan. If they don't have one would their race just slowly disappear from dying in violence and accidents.. or would some race be ready to give them women for broodmothers.. which would be morally really wrong.

And if they're women, being led to an underground rape factory to be mutated into monstrous abominations to create legions of more darkspawn. 

[KaiserShep]

Well, in fairness, I doubt that the Messenger would bother doing something like that, but on a larger scale, darkspawn in general have no other means of making more of themselves. One way or the other, their eradication would only be a good thing, and I would assume that even awakened darkspawn would have some kind of compulsion to preserve their own kind's existence. Of course, it's very likely that in the bowels of Thedas, there's lots more broodmothers out there still making more anyway.

 

I'd really love to see the darkspawn be totally eradicated somehow in this series.

If the Messenger is spreading the blight, then the women he's infecting will be led off to the rape factories. That's a big part of why darkspawn, in the end, are abominations (in the literal sense, not the setting, mage-specific sense) that can't co-exist with other races.

That's not fair and incorrect. The Messenger in his Batman role went around saving travelers, it just so happened that as a Darkspawn he inadvertently spread the taint as well in whatever way Darkspawn do. He never abducted people and brought them to other darkspawn to become Broodmothers. Contracting the taint can be lethal or turn you into a ghoul and merely being a female ghoul does not make you into a Broodmother, you must be force fed tainted meat by the Darkspawn.
