Oh, you used the Caladrius example too. Another example I'd say is where she suggests slaughtering the Circle including the children because of her survivalist mentality. They are captive and therefore weak, which is absurd considering these children are like 6. Another is that she disapproves if you don't let that demon possess the girl in The Stone Prisoner.
I'll only take her advice if my character is evil which pretty much sums her up. Ironically despite believing she knows "what is what" as Flemeth (who I think is pretty wise) puts it I feel Morrigan's a pretty big fool; a bigger one than Alistair despite what she thinks of him. Ex: She thinks slaughtering the Dalish to possibly obtain a werewolf army is a good idea? Ex: She wants to release Jowan (the man who poisoned Arl Eamon) without question while Alistair suggests knowing the full story first.
I've never understood why she considers Alistair a fool either. Maybe it's because he isn't strong-willed to the point that he is content to follow. That doesn't make him foolish. At least he knows himself well enough to acknowledge this and isn't an emotional wreck in a relationship like she is. Morrigan claims to resent emotional attachment yet the minute you start a physical relationship with her she'll become very clingy and jealous. Ex: kissing that girl in Redcliffe or trying to sleep with Isabela. Even when Morrigan claims the relationship is purely physical she acts this way. Why? Because deep down she is a romantic but is in denial about it because of Flemeth's survivalist upbringing that was pounded into her.
A big factor that makes her a fool is if you play a female warden. Why? Because her end-game involves sleeping with Alistair and yet she takes every opportunity to belittle him; thus making the end-game harder to achieve. Considering her plans Morrigan should be working to get Alistair to like/trust her; not the opposite.
You don't actually kill the children if you attack Wynne, they just run away as you fight the adult mages. When it comes to Morrigan, you gotta put things in perspective. In the circle, I agreed with her perspective, I thought the mages were weak and submissive (I'm talking about the adults, not the children), and their current state was a result of their own weakness. "Servants of the Chantry, no respect for their own power, why should I respect them?". She also believes slaughtering the dalish is an good idea because the werewolves are stronger then them. Not to mention that from the start, the dalish treat you like absolute ****, despite you helping them, spitting on the hand that helps them. So she must think, why help an group that sends you to do their dirty job while kicking you on the back at the same time?
And as for Alistair, I suppose she thinks Alistair is an fool because he is weak willed, but there is also the fact he is an former templar and supporter of the Chantry. You wonder she hates him? And I think Alistair can be foolish himself when it comes to decision making, as he is the kind that allows feelings to cloud logical thinking. For example, if you side against Zathrian to break the curse he will give you this line: "We stand for what is right here, no matter what". But he doesn't even bother to think most of the times if "doing what is right" is the more beneficial thing to do. He stand against preserving the anvil, even if could come to an huge advantage to the fight against the darkspawn. And guess what? It does. The golems in the final battle are incredbly strong and make for an great support. I personally like to call this the "Harrowmont syndrome", just because an path seems to be the more honorable, doesn't instantly make it "the right one".
