I actually like Morrigan and The Warden's story better than I love my Inquisitor.

 

I drank from the Well thinking Solas (and the rest of my group) has my back whatever Mythal has in store for me.

[Spectre Impersonator]

I made Morrigan drink from it, assuming it might make her a better person but no... she ended up being just as lame as she always was. Couldn't even beat the evil dragon despite being able to turn into one when my Inquisitor walked through him with predictable ease.

[Spooky81]

The warning about being bound to the will of Mythal for eternity was enough of a deterrent for me to pass up on the offer.

[JackPoint]

There is a rule in DA and that rule is , Do NOT Drink, Do NOT Bargain, do NOT Touch. you should heed this rule, or just re write your idiocy in Dragon Age Keep, for future dlcs. But considering the fallout from the internet EAware killed DA as a whole with Dai.

[Chardonney]

Nope and never going to. Not even to save Morrigan from doing it. Don't really care about her that much.

[Qunquistador]

I did for the achievement. Then I beat the game with quests unfinished out of curiosity. None of it's saved though so I'm going to go back to my pre-arbor wilds save and do it all again the right way. My quiz ain't afraid of no elven ghost, but the whole bound for eternity thing is not a good look.

 

Morrigan can drink from all of the wells in Thedas for all I care.

[Shard of Truth]

I drank it so I could read those four codex entries but other than that it just didn't seem very useful gameplay-wise so after reloading I granted Morrigan her wish.

[LostInReverie19]

My Dalish quizzies will always drink from the well, because they can't stand the thought of some random holier-than-thou shem usurping their cultural heritage. For my other quizzies, they are fine and dandy with letting Morrigan take all the risk, except for maybe one or two quizzies who don't trust her and would rather risk themselves than take a chance at giving Morrigan so much unknowable power.

There is some mysterious "post from developers" where they explain that Solas took only Flemeth\Mythal powers but not her godhood (which is supposed to go to Morrigan?) 

 

And they lost somewhere the scene (were surprised by it - can you believe it?) about Solas begging you not to drink.

 

Still think for an elf who worships his\her gods to be bound to one AND have a great power is a very attractive thing.

It doesn't make any sense , Solas  absorbed Mythal but not her godhood? What kind of logic is this, is pretty obvious that Mythal and Fen'Harel are old friends, Mythal have decided willingly to abandon Flemeth to go into the body of an old friend, her purpose was to wait the awakening of the Dread wolf.

Flemeth sent something on the Eluvian.

We already know that the stuff that makes someone a god is different from personality and knowledge. Kieran has an "Old God's soul" but he isn't a reincarnated Old God.

 

Having said that, this only makes sense in a timeline where Kieran exists. Mythal sends one "god essence" into the eluvian and the other one is absorbed by Fen'Harel. If Kieran doesn't exist, the question arises what exactly does Fen'Harel need from her that he must absorb?

 

Regarding the ecology of gods in DA, I think it's clear they're not just "super-powerful mages". They're fundamentally different from "mortals" in that they can project their presence into different places at the same time and they don't die if their material form is killed. There are probably more differences. It's probably possible to transform into a god but that doesn't work by just accumulating power and getting people to worship you, though that may be a prerequisite.

[Gotham's Reckoning]

I was going to, but I didn't. Because Dorian asked me not to. "Because Dorian" is basically the reasoning behind any of my choices.

[Dieb]

If the hours spent talking sense into Merrill taught me one thing, it's "Don't be a Merrill".

Your opinion is invalid, because drinking the blood experiment that Avernus made in his experiments in Origins has no negative effect, and you can't even complete one of Nature of the Beast's minor side quest if you don't drink from an ancient jug that the Warden fills with water.

[Uprising]

I drank it with no hesitation, it tasted like cola : D
The reasons I drank are : Immortality, knowledge and the garantee to be present next time something big happen.
And even after seeing the endgame, i'll still drink

I'm impressed to see that so many Inquisitors didnt.

In my Elf/Solas game, I drank too, the fact that Solas was against the idea made this choice even more obvious.

The   lore of Dragon age have nothing to do with this.

The scene is the same with Kieran and without him because is a cinematic ending ,they cannot waste money for another cinematic ending for the little detail of an non mandatory soul .As i said it doesn't make any sense if the old god exist then Solas took everything from Flemeth  (she send the archedemon soul beyond the eluvian), if the old god DO not exist he take half of Mythal (she sent a part of her beyond the eluvian apparently the real Mythal the godess.) , there is no sense is simply a technical issue a way to not waste money for such a little detail.

Anyway regarding the well of sorrow, No my first thought was maybe the price to pay is to stay forever in this temple with Abelas and his comrades for the eternity, to watch the statue of Mythal.... no thanks Morrigan can have it for all i care.

But even the Old God didn't exist, this scene happens anyway and your excuse because of they cannot waste money is stupid. Why the heck did she sent something in the Eluvan anyway because Flemeth wanted Morrigan to be her next successor. Many posters provided this proof:http://www.reddit.co...ne_explained/#s

Designers note within the DAI file interesting.

So basically Morrigan another Yavana......

She sent only one essence into that ******* Eluvian, if that essence is always the one of Mythal no matter what, where is Urthemiel if he still Exist?! Why Flemeth had removed that from Kieran with the danger of the Dread wolf? To trick him? is him Inside Solas (glowing blue eye)? if this is true then another reason to kill the Archdemon completely no chance that i let the dread wolf to have that power after all the mess that he have caused.

Anyway i can't take seriously only the notes since the writers can change their mind at any moment regarding the sequel.

Because there were SOOOO many consequences for making the old god baby with Morrigan right?

What about the consequences for making a deal with the Desire Demon possessing Connor?

Or the demon possessing the little girl in Shale's quest?

 

Almost nothing in any of the DAO games ever has any actual consequences.

[Fireheart]

I wanted Abelas to destroy the Well but Morrigan would not let him. She kept whining and whining, so I just let her drink. I played an Elf Mage, I didn't really feel as though I could gain a lot of power from it. I honestly thought whatever knowledge it contained would be better off lost. Abelas' job was to protect it, and if he felt it better that the Well be destroyed than fall into anyone's hands, I trusted and agreed with him. Also, a scene from Avatar the Last Airbender flashed into my head, from the library episode. The giant owl says how humans only wish to gain knowledge so that they can conquer their enemies. I agree, and think knowledge shouldn't be abused. I just thought, errr, let's just destroy it so Corypheus can't use it. It was pretty pointless in the end (unless it comes up in future games) because the Red Lyrium dragons health is only like 1/3 of the way down. For all that, I could've just fought the dragon at full health, it's not like it was challenging. Just kept doing the same kick with its front or hind legs. Then, when it's at a distance do the red lyrium fire thingy. And doesn't Mythal die/go into the Eluvian at the end? So eternal slave seems kind of a moot point, at least with these few pieces of info we have right now.

[vyvexthorne]

Nope.. I like giving morrigan things as it usually seems to backfire. I haven't been overly fond of many of the companions in the past games and have done my best to try to destroy them but they just keep coming back.

[Bayonet Hipshot]

I let my Dalish Mage Inquisitor drink it for the simple reason I roleplayed Lavellan as a knowledge hungry and intellectually curious person. So in a sense, he is like Morrigan in terms of being greedy for knowledge but he is not very bitchy. 

 

Additionally, it is not like I have not done this sort of supposed-enslavement-for-knowledge in role playing games before. My Mage Dragonborn ended up becoming both the Champion and Servant of Hermaeus Mora.  My Thief Dragonborn made herself a slave for Nocturnal, even beyond death. My Warrior Dragonborn became a Werewolf, in effect becoming Hircine's pet. 

 

Additionally, this is Flemeth / Mythal and Solas / Fen'Harel we are talking about. Flemeth helps heroes, she does not screw them up. Solas is a firm believer and upholder of free will. 

 

I believe this enslavement to Mythal will be go the way of the Old God Baby in that Bioware will make it irrelevant with a few cutscenes. If that is the case and from Bioware's track record of "making choices matter", it is, then my character would rather have the knowledge of ancient Elven priests. 

[Aren]

from a metagaming perspective i would gladly let Corypish Drink and swim into the well, a new slave for Flemeth (this was flemeth plan) . Damn Morrigan calm down.

[Get Magna Carter]

My inquisitor did not drink

She was getting bad vibes from the well

she was concerned about the price and possible loss of freedom

she asked her companions for advice - including Sera who reminded her it was called the "well of SORROWS" and suggested there was a bit of a hint in the name

He was never going to drink from the Well. He sent Calpernia or Samson to do it, if one of them drank from it, he would do a biding spell to control them and get all the information he wanted.
