I'm about 75 percent through my Awakening playthrough (only my second time ever playing Awakening and the first was years ago), and I just got "The Peasant Revolution" quest. Well, more accurately, my Warden comes home after a long day of slaying Countess Bathory (like she's not the basis for the Baroness) and all of her abomination friends, along with unhappily recruiting the self-righteous bastard who is going to turn Anders into a terrorist, and all my Warden wants is to rest and sort through her inventory in Vigil's Keep. But noooooo! A bunch of snarling peasants have showed up on my doorstep demanding food as if I'm deliberately withholding it. I've tried to do right by these people; I even spread our already thin forces thinner, so I could protect everything, not just the city.

 

So, what's the best way to handle this quest? According to the Wiki, if I agree to give them food, they will continue to revolt more in the future, which is not a good thing (the Wiki only gives info on this "ending"). But I don't want to kill the rabble-rousers either. Is it best to intimidate/threaten their lives and families so that they leave? I really only see three options: give into their demands, intimidate them, or kill them. Which is best?

I usually either intimidate the crowd into dispersing or give in to their demands, since, (absent meta information) my Warden can't know that will embolden the agitators. (And I'm not certain that further agitation is a bad thing, if the grievance is legitimate).

 

And my Dalish slaughtered the demanding shems. She was like that. :-/

If you give them the food, they will keep revolting in the future (it's like the guy said, you don't coddle an revolt), and the slides will reveal they got violently slaughtered when they revolted an second time. So the best outcome is to intimadate into submission, and we never hear from the revolt again.

The people are revolting!

 

When presented with this choice, I had to suppress my City Elf Warden's initial revolutionary urges.

Use High Persuasion to talk them down is the only good option.

Otherwise, you should give them food and have to deal with it later.

Or do the nasty thing.

OMG that was my first thought when i saw this post topic too!

 

For OP, I have given in (on my Surana), I've slaughtered them (On my Orlesian--she was a ******) and I've intimidated them (on my Queen and King Couslands).  The best option is intimidate though admittedly you have to have a high coersion if I remember right?  Might also depend on some of the choices you've made previously.  You get the revolt regardless of what you do with troops etc, so what you did with the troops might have an impact on your intimidate chances as well.

Constitutional Peasants?

Thanks for the advice and wittiness, everyone. I ended up intimidating the peasants into leaving, as it seemed the best option. They left rather easily, and the captain seemed impressed by my scariness.

On a side note, when I came up with the title for this post, I was actually reminded of "Dragonheart" where King Einon makes a comment about the revolting peasants:

Guard: "Sire, the peasants are revolting!"

Einon: "They've always been revolting. Now they're just rebelling."

I don't agree with him, of course, but that line was just stuck in my head.
