This was easily the hardest choice I ever faced in any game I ever played, a value conflict of the highest order. Nothing I can even remotely imagine could have ever tempted me to drink from the well - except that which was actually offered. 

 

This was not about Morrigan. It was about whether or not I would give away my individual autonomy and let myself be controlled by the remnants of a power whose power over people I always resented, in exchange for invaluable secret knowledge, something I have always coveted more than any more tangible power.

 

At least it was that for my main Inquisitor, a human mage, who is most like me in these things.

 

In the end, I did not drink from the well. It felt too much like a demon's temptation, and in the end, as it turned out, it is actually rather similar to that. I am rather sorry for Morrigan, who will possibly be controlled by Solas/Mythal/Fen'Harel/whatever whenever he so chooses. Meanwhile, my Inquisitor knows that knowledge can't be made intrinsically exclusive, and will continue to seek it through other means.  

 

And with this post, I have actually made clear why this decision made me uneasy to myself, and now I know I won't be revising this decision in future playthroughs with the same Inquisitor.

As a rule of thumb I usually do the opposite of what Sera says.

Reading ancient elven is so much better then free will. It's not like you can't learn on you own later.

I never drink.  My first time I just thought maybe Mythal would be the next Old God to start a Blight and I didn't want to be controlled.  Now that I know Flemeth and Mythal are one in the same I really want Morrigan to drink it.  The irony that the rebellious daughter willingly made herself a slave to her mother is just to delicious.

Due to my noble sacrifice the dalish in future games will all speak fluent elven and we will new translators when we interact with them.

...If Flemeth lets you tell other dalish about the info you learnt and teach the language.

My elven rogue did drink. She wanted it more than anything in the world, and I am happy with my choice.

[Captmorgan72]

Morrigan was destined to drink from the well and I think she knows it. 

[cronshaw]

I didn't with my first playthrough

I was prepared to drink and Cassandra (who I romanced) kept saying "watch out for Morrigan, she can't be trusted" but then when I asked everyone's opinion she said I should let Morrigan drink. So for Cassandra's sake I didn't drink

I will in subsequent playthroughs depending on how the RPing plays out

This time she was absorbed by Fen'harel I don't see her coming back tbh. Don't get me wrong I would like her to, but yeah she deded.

never cared for power

[teh DRUMPf!!]

 In my first playthough -- where the Inquistor's M.O. was "what would HYR do?" -- I had Arcane Knowledge and could identify the well as a gaes, which all but confirmed Abelas's statement that he who drinks from the well is bound to something. Now, Morrigan denied the possibility of Mythal's existence, but we do not know that for certain. And, given the bombshells that the Sentinels dropped on us about other things (such as: Arlathan not falling to Tevinter, but the elves themselves), I am not ruling anything out. So I did not do it.

 

 

But on my canon run, I am making my Qunquisitor lap it up -- Morrigan deserves better, and having the mighty Inquisition's leader bound to an elven god makes things quite a bit more interesting going forward than said god getting control of a lone Shapeshifter (even if she did just learn the shape of Dragon). Also, I have this underlying plot in my canon where some influential elves like my Dalish Warden are conspiring to bring their people back to power, and this feeds it.

[Asch Lavigne]

Me, as the player, trusted Morrigan enough to want to let her partake of the well.

 

My character however, didn't trust her at all.

[Angros]

I did it just because I always like to put my character in danger haha

[Mirth]

Aye.. Sera said..  "Well of Sorrow", as in "You will be SORRY you drank from it, yeah?"...  not the "Well of Happiness!"  or the "Well of Laughter!" 

Its the Well of SORROW!!  *pout face

 

Hmmm.. now I think we should write a song about it....

Couldn't quite bring myself to do it on my Trevalyan mage. I mean, the lure of power was cool, but I found Morrigan's blatant disregard for Abelas' (the elf if you do the rituals) warnings to be kind of a red flag. Even on my elf inquisitor, the fact that none of my mage companions seemed eager to do it (haven't seen Viv there yet though) also made it seem like a bad idea. I find it funny how some of the LIs will approve of you drinking from it, but only if you're not in a relationship with them. Thanks for the hypocrisy and support guys XD

really? who?

[Winged Silver]

According to my guide, Blackwall approves of you drinking only if you're not in a relationship with him (I don't think he disapproves...? Haven't tested that myself yet). Dorian disapproves regardless, but if you're in a relationship with him he disapproves more if you drink, and approves more if Morrigan drinks. Cass and Bull seem to be the only LIs  who approve of the Inquisitor drinking at all (regardless of any relationship they may or may not have with the Inquisitor though)

A glass from the well of sorrows goes great with ham tasting of despair. Everyone should try it sometime.

Actually I heard ambient talk in val royeux. An elf says that some woman named mythal spoke to him in his dreams so maybe she's not so deaded.

Edit: post end ofc.
