If your Love interest betrayed you/was a traitor (completely 100% against you and thus the Inquisition) and you were given the option to seek them out and exact justice, would you? Were talking fatal justice here, death. Maybe even a execution (public or otherwise) Now obviously some LI's are story essential and quite possibly wont ever leave the Inquisition despite your actions.

So for them just use your imagination and really think about my question I'm curious to see the responses.

 

Edit: Your romancing a character said character betrays you and the Inquisition in a very personal manner and leaves the Inquisition/your side permanently. Later you're given a quest where you can track this person down and kill them.

Do you take the quest?

So Anders?

[Magdalena11]

If you romanced Anders in DA2, you had that chance.  I'm hoping the dilemmas and recipients are different this time.

[Decepticon Leader Sully]

Then sod it im F**king the Dog.

[Apostate.]

So Anders?

But like you can agree with Andres.

What If a DA:I companion one you happened to be romancing was like "Nah I'm out, Elder One has a point"

And then they leave to bow before their new god.

I'm not sure I completely understood the question.

 

If you're referring to a hypothetical story situation, then I doubt that I would exact "vengeance" over the betrayal, since it wouldn't be personal. If killing the character in question was necessary to accomplish some goal, then I would do that. I generally avoid needlessly killing NPCs. You never know when they will represent a potential resource at a later point in the game.

If Blackwall betrayed me?

 

Well... He's a threat to the Inquisition. Even if I didn't have a personal reason to kill him, I would have for that fact alone. Also, what kind of leader would just let a traitor go?

I mean a character your involved with...like how you say...romancing? I guess it's similar to Anders in a way so maybe my question was kinda lame.

I hate it when that happens....

It would involve more than a dialogue choice however like you'd have the option of taking a quest where you pursue this person, who betrayed you, personally, thus making it personal.

[(Disgusted noise.)]

Impossible to say without knowing all the circumstances, details, and motivations. Black and white morality isn't my thing and I'm absolutely not in favor of any one person electing themselves someone else's judge, jury, and executioner.

[Kalas Magnus]

id say cant we talk this out.

 

the thing that made me mad about anders is that he kept his plan hidden. When I played as  mage I would have helped him.

[Apostate.]

If these reasons dissatisfy you are you content 'to let sleeping dogs lie' or do you take the betrayal that much harder because its something you don't accept?

Perhaps then you'd take a more...violent measure?

That's what I meant when I was saying "hypothetical story situation." If it's in Dragon Age: Inquisition, it isn't personal, because I can't personally have a relationship or a romance with a fictional video game character. It's quite literally impossible.

 

So I wouldn't have an emotional response on a personal level, I would have an emotional response as an audience appreciating a story. Thusly, I wouldn't exact revenge on the character, because to do so in a video game might cost me a potential resource at a later point in the game.

[themikefest]

 Yes. I wouldn't give it a second thought.

[mlgumm]

It would depend on my Quizzie, the love interest, their motivations, and what exactly they did in betrayal. In almost all cases I can see wanting to work it out or find some less fatal option.

"...My Life for Andraste" *TWACK!*

[daveliam]

Yeah, I would treat it just like I treat Anders when he goes against everything I've been trying to do (i.e. a peaceful, if uneasy, truce between mages and templars).  I spared his life, which was a tough decision.  If Anders weren't my LI, then it's a much easier call.  But he was living in my house, functionally as my husband.  I couldn't bring myself to kill him.  I sent him away instead.  I did allow him to rejoin me when he asked as a way to try to right his wrong.  The game didn't allow me to do so, but I head canoned a "But you and I are done-zo once this whole mess gets sorted out, mister."  I view their relationship as ending with Ander's actions.

 

So, to directly answer your question, if my LI (i.e. Dorian or Bull) were to betray the Inquisition at the cost of lives, I would not have them executed for it.  I would end the relationship and give them a chance to redeem themselves if they were interested.  If they physically attacked me or my companions?  Then, yeah, I'd have to fight them which would likely end in their death.  But it would be my absolute last choice.

I guess I could be clearer between You (the actual Player) and you (The avatar you/your character)

I meant would your character, the one you're playing as. Would they take it personally.

But I think what you're trying to get across to me is: It's a video game so I wouldn't off anyone that could be beneficial.

And that's totally logical yo.

[sylvanaerie]

No.

 

If there was an option to kick his ass and take him to task for betraying my character, yes.  If he is genuinely contrite for it would my Inquisitor forgive him, yes.  Would he have to kiss ass to get back into my quizzie's good graces, definitely.

 

There is a similar situation in one of the SWToR storylines, where a companion you romance betrays you.  Since he's the healer, killing him (and there was an option to kill him in Beta) is kind of like shooting yourself in the foot.  They adjusted it to you can 1) forgive him and make him go back to earning your trust or 2) bring him back, but sever the relationship.

 

I'd be content with that arrangement.

[Markus]

For vengeance or to settle a broken heart/damaged pride?  No.

 

If it turned out they were actively interfering with my mission, turning people against me, or damaging my name, then I'd basically be forced to do something.  I'd probably imprison them, though, if that was an option.  Kick them into a dark, isolated cell deep in my base's dungeon and leave them there for the rest of their life.

 

In terms of my Inquisitors' romance partners?  Well, I plan for one of them to be Dorian, so...if I really wanted to get even, I'd probably do something he would consider a fate worse than death.  What I mean is I'd have my Inquisitor make him Tranquil.  That counts as vengeance, right?  Also shows that my character is not one to be trifled with, in any regard.

Exactly. ;D

Real betrayal, like sabotaging the organization? 

 

The way I see it the Inquisition appears to be the only organization that can save Thedas from a devastating demon invasion, so betraying and working against the inquisition and/or its members means putting whole Thedas and its millions of habitants at risk of death and utter destruction.

No matter who that person used to be, such condemnable crime of the highest order demands a swift and final judgment. No exceptions.

Dude, that is like hardcore vengeance....Yeah that counts.

It seems a lot of the responses are of the thinking that bloodshed should only occur if the person is actively subverting your operations/efforts.

Yes real betrayal, not a hey this sucks I'm leaving. No I mean some sort of act or action that cause great harm towards you and the entire Inquisition as a whole.

[KainD]

I do not romance characters that put things above the romance itself. As a result I never get betrayed, but then because of this I very rarely do romances all together.
