So within the sea of Romance threads, I thought I'd put up a thought provoking one about Flemeth for discussing. Many people seem to think Flemeth is just some benevolent guardian of the world and yeah, its a bunch of BS. But everyone is entitled to their own opinions, but here are things people seem to miss from the games.
About Morrigan:
-Flemeth abused Morrigan.
Yes, she did, in the fade during the Circle tower, Fake Flemeth smacks Morrigan across her face and Morrigan makes a comment how now the demon is acting more believable, and there are other tidbits about this as you get to know her, and even how she talks about Morrigan in the beginning of DA:O very disrespectfully.
-Morrigan is really "Chaotic Good"
There are moments when you can see she has a heart, not just in her ability to actually fall in love with the PC, but also how various characters in the games say a Mabari is a good judge of character and Dog likes Morrigan, and despite what she says you can tell she likes the dog too, seeming geniuinely happy to see Dog in Witch Hunt. More then that, alot of the problem is the abuse she's suffered at Flemeths hands that have warped her sense of right and wrong.
As Flemeth herself, shes not good at all. But wait, the common reply "But she saved the Warden and wanted them to stop the blight!"
Yes, this is true but really and this can be figured out with actual in game conversations, she did it for her own ends. Morrigan did not find out about a Warden dying when slaying the archdemon nor the Dark Ritual from one of Flemeth's books, Flemeth told her about it. Which brings us back to the beginning again, and a question asked that finally does get answered at the end of the game: Why did Flemeth save the warden? Morrigan claims not to know, stating she'd have saved Calian instead.
Firstly, if she really cared about stopping the Blight, would not Flemeth go save Duncan and some of the Senior grey wardens? Rather then noob Wardens? One would think, but Morrigan answers this herself later in the game: The Dark Ritual would only work on new wardens where the taint hasn't fully taken hold yet. Which brings up the notion Flemeth deliberately took inexperienced wardens to further her own plot. Using Morrigan to become impregnated with old god baby, which them Flemeth would have taken Morrigan's body and raised the child for unknown ends.
Morrigan did not know much of anything, and said Flemeth never told her much of anything, except what to do, presumably if she was rebellious flemeth hit her and pushed her into line.
Before you leave her house in the beginning with Morrigan, you can actually talk to her again, and she makes it very clear she HATES humans and wants the world to burn if you asked her for advice, which brings up more questions, why would she ever want to save the world if she hates humans and people so much?
As the game progresses and Morrigan researches her Mother she becomes 'disturbed' at what she finds out, of the course the worst of it is Witch Hunt when she tells the Warden to Hunt Flemeth because of how bad she really is, though she does not elaborate.
Even in her DA2 appearance, gloves off Flemeth was much different from her aloof old hermit thing in DA:O. She would have seriously left Hawke and company to die, but she saw a use for them, not the act of some benevolent guardian. Alot of her words are suspicious when you add up it paints a picture of someone with very sinister motives, and worse, someone who has some grand long term scheme in mind. There are more instances where you can get glimpses of Flemeth but i brought up the main points for discussion.
Retour en haut
) we just don't all think she is necessarily a villain.
