People that call for an execution.... i am wondering what decision you took when standing still before the grim faith of Amaranthine in DA Awekening, and what action you took at that point. Hmm?

[DaemionMoadrin]

It's easy to judge someone else. I wish that Bioware would let some of these decisions like the Mayor of Crestwoord had to make fall on us as the player. Much more interesting, imo.

 

Yes, that would have been great.

My issue is not that killed them but that he ran. I can understand why he did what he did but at least face up to what he did. i would of been more lenient if he fessed up.

Heh, that's interesting. You can basically set the survivors on fire.

True, but he had to live 10 years with the secret and guilt of what he did. It's understandable that he panicked and ran.

Execute. He murdered innocents. I sympathize with him, and he may have indeed saved other lives, but he still needs to pay for his crimes. Hell, he may have even done the right thing, but he still has to pay for it.

Good question. I did what I had to do, and if someone wants to execute my Warden for it, so be it, he'll pay the price.

I don't hunt him down.

He may have done the right thing, but he still has to pay for it? What else should he have done? Nothing?

Law is law, even when you sympathize with the murderers motive.

The mayor was a hero

I agree.

This is why I would hate to actually have a leadership role. I would say it is a duty to question unjust laws; however, punishment for murder isn't unjust. I do feel though that the mayor did the best he could. I can't punish him for that.

I guess either way, he'd kind of seem like an a**hole. If, before, he'd been like ... "I can think of a way to stop this blight from spreading, but no way am I risking my own neck." Then he'd seem like both a jerk for not being willing to risk himself, but also for the awful-sounding suggestion in the first place.

He knew there would be consequences. You cant murder selectively and have it not still be murder. I can praise him for making the hard choice, but ultimately judge him as a murderer for the sake of the families of the victims he directly killed.

There wouldn't be any families of victims if he didn't do what he did.

My Shepard would have done the same thing in the same situation. Actually, my Shepard probably would have killed the rest of the town too just to be sure.

 

Tbh I think this was one of the more interesting decisions in the game. I concluded that it was the sort of situation where he made the impossible decision which needed to be made, probably saved many lives and should be regarded a hero. However, for the sake of the rule of law and for everyone else's conscience he needed to be 'punished' regardless.

 

Giving him to the Grey Wardens seemed like a reasonable 'slap on the wrist' option.

I've only executed the Major once and exiled him all other times, but I can still answer this question.

 

I've saved Amaranthine and left it to burn, neither for role play reasons. In the end I've saved it more because I always had an upgraded keep that could take the damage of the The Herald's assault(except for the one time I avoided upgrading the keep).

[legbamel]

Had he owned up to his decision and faced the consequences in any of the ten years it has supposedly been eating away at his conscience I would have let him go/exiled him. As it was, he should have been judged by his monarch long ago so off he goes to Denerim.

[Frybread76]

Sent him to the Wardens.  I also executed him on a other run.  I never excuse his crime.

[Gill Kaiser]

If even one non-blighted person died due to his actions, the guy is responsible for manslaughter at the very least. He had a good cause, but it's still a war crime. He can't simply be let off Scot free.

That's why I always make him a Grey Warden.

[rak72]

But if he didn't act, an entire town would die due to his inaction - blighted or not.

[DaemionMoadrin]

What were his options?

 

A. Do nothing and let the blight spread. Consquence = Everyone dies and it's his fault because he's responsible for his people and knew better.

 

B. Stop the villagers from helping the refugees. Consequence = Village is unhappy, perhaps even disobedient. Refugess die a slow, agonizing death after going insane. Some might turn into ghouls and attack the village. Presence of blighted refugees might attract Darkspawn who can sense them. Consequence = Refugees die, village at high risk to get attacked/infected.

 

C. Send a messager to the responsible Teyrn. During a blight, with no time to spare and people not caring about the fate of one village. Consequence = Same as A.

 

D. Kill the refugees and make it look like an accident caused by the Darkspawn. Consequence = Refugees die, blight can't spread, Darkspawn are no longer coming, villagers are shocked but alive. Village recovers from the flood and prospers. Crestwood survives the 5th Blight without assistance.

 

So, what other option did he have? D, but then admit to it to the village? During their darkest hour, when they needed his leadership? Turn himself in after the Blight had ended? Who'd benefit from that? No one.

 

I'm curious what all the people who executed him for his actions would have done in his stead.

I'm curious about that, too. Moreso, I'm curious what they would have done in his stead that would not, in their opinion, have warranted harsh punishment.

[DaemionMoadrin]

Heh, I killed the thread with logic. ^^

[sleasye74]

If i was in that leadership role i would ask the people what they want, if they dont want to drown the others out then i tell them im leaving and they can handle it on there own

If they do i then i would have a a signed account of what happened and have those that agreed to sign it and also not run away when the time for answers comes

Got off topic sorry, i had his head for he ran away, i cant stand that **** when a person can make the hard choice but cant or wont deal with the outcome
