I have yet to kill a high dragon, but killing dragonlings just kills me inside. They're just too awesome. 

 

On a similar note, I will never fulfill the requisition for the Orlesian masks, because I refuse to kill halla!

[Killdren88]

When the baby dragonlings ran up to their mothers' slain corpse and just looked at it, ignoring me, I did feel like a bastard.

Why? Kill them while they are distracted.

[LOLandStuff]

I felt bad for that dragon sleeping in the Hissing Wastes.

 

There she was having a nap and there I was, showing up with my group to kill her.

 

Way to wake up with a blast to the face.

[themikefest]

Nope you get that after slaying the first dragon. 

 

But ah I did feel such guilt after zooming into the face of the Fereldan Frostback. Had the most adorable eyes, almost puppylike.

Yep. It showed up after killing all dragons. It was not available after I killed my first dragon so for me I'm correct in what I posted

[costalren28]

I've decided. I'm not killing any dragons unless they attack me first.

[Sundance31us]

The dragon could always fly away if it wanted to live.

[Kreidian]

I killed the one in Hinterlands last night, wasn't my first dragon kill, but it was my first one on this play through. 

 

I didn't really feel bad about killing it at first; I was really just in the area farming herbs, awesome bits of Royal Elfroot nearby, when it suddenly flew by and carpet bombed the whole group with fireballs. As we limped back to camp with barely any life or limbs left I decided the dragon had to die. 

 

And all was fine for the most part, it was a very hard but very fun fight. Sera, Dorian, and Bull had my back ( WAY WAY back in the case of Sera and Dorian obviously) as we dove into this monster. I was taking it apart piece by piece, focusing on one limb then the next so I could  weaken it, trying to prevent it from flying away and doing even more deadly bombing runs.

 

After what felt like hours of hard pitched battle things were coming to an end one way or the other. The Dragon was close to death but so was my team. I stood there alone against the beast, Sera and Bull had gone down, technically Dorian was dead as well - it was only through his Necromancy that he was still up doing anything at all. The fighting had moved through the entire valley and we ended up on the roost above (where you plant the Landmark flag). It was pretty much just me and the dragon staring each other down.

 

And that's when I saw it. I could see both the front legs badly wounded and bloody, dripping blood in a brutal trail as it moved. It was crouching down low trying to protect itself, barely moving, as if it hurt to put any weight on her injured limbs. It moved awkwardly, shuffling along the ground, moving backwards away from me. Looking around, I came to the realization that we were not just in her territory, this was her nest. Had she come here because there was something she was protecting, or was she merely looking to find some sense of security in her final moments. All I know is that she was backing herself into a corner of her nest, terrified.

 

She was afraid of me.

 

Right there and then I felt so bad for trying to kill her. She had gone from the deadly predator of the wild threatening to destroy innocent villagers in her hunger, to a poor injured animal, just trying to survive in this harsh, cruel world. Part of me wanted to hug the poor dragon, nurse it back to health and keep it as a pet, to protect the wondrous creature for future generations. Plus let's face it, who wouldn't want a pet dragon. ( p.s. YES I know about the SPOILERS, but that's something else entirely anyway, and my current Inquisitor isn't there yet so she wouldn't know. )

 

Of course, that wasn't going to happen. This was still a wild animal and a dangerous one. Doubly so now that it was an injured wild animal. 

 

Plus the very next moment it spat out one last fireball that nearly burnt my Inquisitor to a crisp, had she not managed to dodge out of the way at the last second. The dragon did manage to finally take down Dorian, however, but not before he managed to put up one last barrier on me. Not wanting his sacrifice to be in vain I tore into the dragon. In the epic final moments of that battle it was just me, the Inquisitor, all alone in a final intense fight to the death with a high dragon.

 

And I won, delivering the final blow even as I was barely standing there myself. But standing I was, over the fallen corpse of the most powerful creature of all of Thedas.

 

 

 

Did I mention it was an Epic Dragon Fight? Like REALLY EPIC!  

[sunnydxmen]

dragons are just mindless beasts anyway i have never seen a dragon age dragon show any sign of intelligence there dumber then a brick.

[errantknight]

They're dragonlings, it's not like they're harmless. They could each kill a small child and disappear before anyone was the wiser. 

If they were lurking behind daycare centers, I'd feel fine about killing them, but they aren't.

[rpgfan321]

I encountered one by accident (although I had a hunch it was the dragon area), I did feel bad after I killed it. I mean even though I saw my influence xp bar skyrocket, I was like "but they are so majestic... I don't want to kill another one..."

[GrinningRogue]

Yes. I feel the same. Outside the main mission, I haven't tried killing another. I thought it'll be a great fun, but after killing my first, I don't think I'll deliberately seek another to kill.

[Eloka]

I always feel that way in every game whenever I am forced to kill any animal or critter because they are agrroed. It's why I was so thankful for animal friend perk in fallout 3, then I found out about the ammy in this that makes wolves your friend I am aiming for it in my next run, even in this I can't bring myself to hurt the rams or nugs etc I kill the humans for gold/sellables and buy crafting materials so I don't have to kill them. LOL

The fact that she attacked you because you were near her babies made me feel even worse, why baby killing? lol

[Liedeke]

I felt sorry for the first dragon I killed until Cole told me it wanted to eat us.

[Iokastos]

DA:I dragons are truly beatiful, Hivernal is on top of my list.

 

 

Spoiler

 
 
 Why do we have to kill them??   They are supposed to be rare - near extinct beasts, I would have preferred a symbiosis option, as in "help me fight Coryphyshit and I'll give you all the cows (or villagers, or.... here, take this Orlesian wench *kicks Vivienne into the mouth of the dragon*) you want!" Morrigan even says something along the lines of "humanity tramples everything it doesn't undertand, magic, elves and dragons"

I didn't feel guilty for the Ferelden Frostback for 3 reasons:

 

1.)  Aforementioned mining company torching.

2.)  Being so close to Redcliffe.  That would have inevitably become an issue.

3.)  First time I ever encountered it was when I accidentally stumbled into it's area at a super low level while exploring the Hinterlands on my first visit.  Literally the first thing that happened when my party stepped into the area was getting nailed by one of it's spitballs of fire.  So EFF THAT DRAGON.

 

Now the Abyssal, yeah, that one I felt a little bad about.  Thing was just chilling out in the desert until we deliberately baited it.  Mind you, I didn't feel bad enough to not take it's bones and skin and make **** out of it, but there was a pang in the cold gaping void where my heart used to be.

 

i will agree that they were beautifully animated and designed, though.

[CrazyRah]

It's not my fault they all manage to get in the way of my arrows..

[Kirasdream13]

I didn't mind attacking dragons in other games (*cough Skyrim cough*) but I did feel like the dragons in Inquisition were minding their own business for the most part.  Yeah there's one by Redcliffe village, but it hadn't done anything yet (that I heard of).  Hissing Wastes?  Just chilling in the desert where there were nothing but Red Templars and Venatori, and eating them would've been a favor.  Emprise du Lions?  Found one napping.  Emerald Graves?  Attacking Red Templars.  Storm Coast?  Squaring off against a Giant.  They weren't flying around burning everything to the ground, which would've made it easier for my conscience when I kill them.

 

In Crestwood though, the Dragon was eating the livestock and killed one of the guards (though they attacked it first).  Felt that was sort of justified, but still felt horrible when it started limping and died.

Burn. Specially if you just killed one and still feeling bad about it.

[TK514]

Yep. It showed up after killing all dragons. It was not available after I killed my first dragon so for me I'm correct in what I posted

Wow, you must have been a sad dragon slayer, then, because it showed up when I killed my first dragon, like clockwork.

[stephen_dedalus]

Not since Shadow of the Colossus have I felt so conflicted about attacking foes.  The lone exception would be the Hinterlands dragon, which, as others in this thread have pointed out, initiates hostilities without provocation.  So I took her out with no regrets.  The rest of them, though, made me feel an uncomfortable mix of guilt, triumph, and loot-lust.  Complex emotions.  Nicely done.

[Degenerate Rakia Time]

not the first one but i felt really bad about the last (the lvl 23 one) 3 levels above me and it still squealed when it met Vivienne....

 

 

next time im not killing any dragons, i'll just give myself dragonbone with cheat engine....

[themikefest]

Why? I had no idea killing the dragons would lead to a quest. It didn't bother me. The quest showed up, so I didn't miss or lose anything that others got after killing their first dragon
