I allowed Morrigan to drink, but no way my Inquisitor would. You're warned there'll be a price to pay. You're warned that you'll get bound to a god that may or may not exist. There's no indication that my inquisitor will have any trouble against Coryphenus even if she doesn't drink. The fact that Morrigan thinks that the well is "hungry" is a pretty ominous sign.

 

I wasn't certain that letting Morrigan drink was a good idea, but I'm not overly concerned with Morrigan's well-being and she really wanted to drink from it, so I just let her do it at her own peril.

I let Morrigan do it. No way am I drinking Indoctrination Soup.

[Emu8207]

I did and was surprised that it worked out.

[Lukas Trevelyan]

I feel like the inquisitors that drink from it are assholes... I mean, you build up an army of people that would follow you blindly into hell, and then you bind everyone to the will of a alien being. Just because you could.

 

I couldn't disagree more. You don't even know that you are truly bound if you drink from it. My Inquisitor decided that if anyone's going to pay the price for victory, it's going to be him, while at the same time he doesn't fully trust Morrigan yet. Honestly it's one of my favorite decisions that made me go "Oh crap" in a good way 15 minutes later, I commend Bioware for it.

I thought about this for a long time. Part of me wanted the possible power that could come with drinking it, and the other biased part was to protect Morrigan from the potential risks involved, for both Kieran and my warden who romanced her in origins. In the end, my inquisitor drank from it because he was greedy. However, I'm confident my mage inquisitor will come up with a solution to counter Mythal with magic.

 

Besides, with the rifts closed, my inquisitor can step down with the knowledge that he is vulnerable to external control.

[Dark Helmet]

Yeah Morrigan can have it.

 

Anything connected to the ancient elves has got to be five seconds away from destroying itself and blaming the humans for it.

[joejoe099]

this was actually the only tough choice I met in the game. I kept arguing in my head "Do I danger myself of being a slave to a god? Or worse, one that doesn't exist but may still exert control? Or do I let morrigan, who i've come to distrust again, drink it and take the bullet, or possibly gain an untold amount of power?"

 

We need more choices like this.

[BloodyTalon]

In all but one playthrough so fsr.

[Ogillardetta]

I'm getting more curious about trying it after reading more of these posts. I wish I could start another playthrough and drink from the well one time to see how different the flemeth/morrigan scene gets but I can't because some ddosing asshats.

Basically how I felt about it, myself. Too big a risk to ask anyone else, and Morrigan is not exactly the most trustworthy, and her motives unclear.

 

Furthermore, my Inquisitor believed himself the Herald of Andraste, and had faith that Andraste would see him through whatever perils the Well might entail.

 

Quite an "Oh Crap" moment indeed, but it worked out in the end. Too bad I couldn't have a nice discussion about this with Mother Giselle, however, the theological implication of the Herald of Andraste supposedly being beholden to an elven god/spirit would be quite interesting.

I haven't done a playthrough with the 'I am the herald' mindset, maybe I should. I hope we find out who the figure was who appeared after and destroyed the eluvian. There is potential for a lot of information coming out of that well they have to expand on it. (Yes, Bioware)

[Virgulec]

I drank... Solas didn't disapprove, Cassandra(Romance) didn't disapprove, bull nothing, dorian approved even Viv greatly approved(we're a not on even terms about mages) only Sera did(not that I care - not acquiring her this time around)

[StaceysChain]

My elf Inquisitor drank because he felt it was part of his heritage and an once in a lifetime opportunity to learn and reclaim part of the Dalish history and culture. That and the fact that he didn't trust Morrigan at all. Also I made him drink it out of my own selfishness, since I spoiled myself on what would happen and since Morrigan romanced my Warden and had normal Kieran with him I didn't want her to be bound to Flemeth forever.

 

However on my second playthrough with a human (this time imported with no OGB or normal kid) I let Morrigan drink. Even though he didn't trust her either, he had a suspicion that if he drank from the well it would come back to haunt him and since Morrigan was more than willing to pay the price he let her do it. And the fact that it turns her into her mother's slave for eternity is just such a bittersweet irony!

 

I think that - unless I play as an elf again - I'm just going to let Morrigan drink in all my playthroughs for the reasons mentioned in the second playthrough post. I just love that cruel irony!

I drank because I wasn't going to trust this party crasher who invaded my war council but doesn't otherwise contributed a thing to the cause suck up that much power. She shows up without so much as a "by your leave" and then expects me to just trust her with an unknown power right in the middle of my keep. Nope.

That said, my second PC is a Templar fangirl and she's never going to suck up a bunch of magic elf water. Plus I can't wait to see Morrigan's face when she sees Flemeth.

[Precursor Meta]

I think that we can all agree that drinking from the well is a bad idea. Being bound to anything is a bad idea.

[luckybaer]

Yes.  I drank from the well.

Not sure why think she does not contribute to the cause...she puts her life on the line for the cause if she drinks from it when she fights the dragon for you. Also why should she trust you since she only just met you and you only just have risen to power, your less trustworthy than she is from her perspective and she does not have any idea whether you would use that power for good or evil in the long run. If I was her I would be very careful how much information I would give the inquisitor too so I do not hold that against her. I have noticed a trend people saying stuff like I do not trust person x, y or z and she is good or evil but why should person x, y or z trust you and why should they just assume your good instead of evil? How many people who said person x, y or z is evil then go on themselves to execute or murder people for lulz whether out in the zones or in Skyhold during sit in judgements.

[AlexiaRevan]

I did.,..

 

Didnt feel like letting Morrigan do it . Dunno why...

 

I do trust her and Love her...

 

But..really..I,m the main hero here  So if there is any back firing....I'm it...well..kinda dissapointed though...

 

I was hoping I turn into a dragon..not get some Lamo dragon that end up kicked in the quad..sheesh...

[BloodyTalon]

The only question now is does the dread wolf control those who drank from the well

I made second playthrough just to try and combat this, female elf who made Solas her LI in the hopes that he will release her out of love if he did indeed take Mythals power. I am however assuming Mythal is not dead and whoever is bound to her is still bound to her not Dreadwolf, that whoever is bound will bring Mythal back...the Solas LI version is just a backup plan in case I am wrong and that are now bound to Dreadwolf instead of Mythal (whether still in her body or if she took over his or if he took her power and by proxy now bound to him I tired to cover all outcomes best I could).

Only time will tell.

[Dragoonlordz]

Only time will tell.

 

I am also hoping best possible outcome is get released by your companions if not released by Mythal or Dreadwolf themselves with your companions finding a way to undo it because the alternative from my perspective is your no longer the main protagonist anymore if do not, your relegated to the role of similar to Calpernia and Samson (secondary antagonists) with them being just a follower/controlled by Cory (main antagonist) only this time you would be (secondary protagonist) controlled by Mythal (primary protagonist/antagonist) in my opinion if do not break that link ASAP given your not just influenced by Mythal as shown in game she has complete control over your actions when she wants to do so.

 

If Bioware have any sense they will break this link in the first DLC for the game because if not the player or at least myself will feel like it is no longer my character or that I no longer have full control/faith in my own character and his or her decisions, I could no longer trust that my actions are mine alone and not that of Mythal from an RP perspective regardless of whether or not I feel choices make are the right ones during that period of which is bad game design despite being an interesting plot development.

 

If a player does not feel like the character is his or her own anymore, we end up with a similar overall outcome to DA2 and Hawke, lack of player agency and disbelief that you have control over your character and events around him or her being shaped by the players choices and not someone/something else with you just along for the ride. You need to have that trust in the actions and choices of your own character in game but being under Mythals control you no longer have that trust, that your choices as a player that you make from an RP perspective is yours and not played off in game as Mythals choices through her control of your character.

My Elf wound up drinking from it... because I got tired of being told my people suck. I'm at the point where I think the elves are such magnificent failures and I'm desperate to not be.

P.S. It sucks that Cory can FLY!!! I want to FLY!!!

[Nimlowyn]

My Inquisitor was a religious Andrastian who was the head of a critically important organization and in a romantic relationship with the Commander of their forces. It wasn't a comfortable decision allowing Morrigan to drink, but there was no way she was going to be bound to an elven god, not as Inquisitor or as an Andrastian. Plus she might lose Cullen, which was a blow she wanted neither for her heart or the Inquisition.

 

I'm interested in playing a religious Dalish who drinks from the well, but wonder how I'll fare roleplaying someone who knows things I don't!

[leaguer of one]

 

I had the magical knowledge perk. the moment my inquis figured the thing had a geas it became a strong hard no. How can i properly lead if I have something controlling my mind with no way of restraining it.
