Pft, I have no sympathy for Tevinter, so why should I be concerned about ...Oh, you mean it THAT way around....^^

 

I am more worried about the other consequences it might bring. If goat-throwing becomes a means of attack by the Avvar against the Tevinter...will the Tevinter retaliate with blood-magic? Will they use it to control the Avvar's goat-herdes, and turn them against their masters?

I`m more worried how game makers are treating goats. You have Forsworn slaughtering goats in Skyrim by wholesale and now in DA:I poor animals are abused as throwing weapons. Leave the goats alone already! :D

Certainly, so why punish the citizens of Tevinter? They're not responsible for the cruelties of their government. Attacking Tevinter has the likelyhood of killing alot of innocent people.



I don't think you understood my question. I'm not talking about cruelty towards the goat thrower. I'm talking about cruelty towards the citizens of Tevinter. The regular civilians who could end up getting raped and killed by these Avvar guys.



If the citizens of Tevinter find out that the Inquisition played a role in sending these barbarians to Tevinter, wouldn't that just create sympathy for the Venetori? The same thing has happened in Afghanistan/northern Pakistan where the US struck a bunch of Taliban dudes but accidentally killed some civilians in the process. The families of those civilians who previously had no ties to the Taliban suddenly became loyal to the Taliban since the Taliban is at war with the people who killed their family members. It may not be logical in the long term but these people don't care about logic. They just want revenge. In the same way, if you send a group of these guys to attack Tevinter and possibly kill innocent civilians in the process, you would only give the Tevinter government an excuse to become even more hostile towards the Inquisition and the southern nations. Remember, the venetori are an extremist cult. They have no ties to the Tevinter government. But you could give the Tevinter government an excuse to provide support to these guys. So really, in the long run, wouldn't sending these dudes into Tevinter just bite you in the ass? Not to mention, the civilians that could die from this. Are their deaths worth it?

"Normal" Tevinter common folk don't talk to you once they find out you're a foreigner. You're ostracized basically. They beat you up in the streets if they outnumber you. Cowards. They deserve whatever they get. :)

Umm....isn't a Gibbet basically a "Gallows"? Which means, you're sentencing him to be hanged?  At least that's what google is telling me.

 

I don't think that's necessarily a good decision.

 

That and leaving him on display as a deterrant for others, yes. Also, the Sten-style cages... Yes, that counts. You were meant to sit there and starve to death in public view, it's not 15 minutes in the timeout corner without your ipad.
