Technically, the families did have closure. They were under the impression that the darkspawn did it.

The difference between "probably killed in a war," and actual knowledge of how events transpired is quite different.

 

That said, this particular judgment requires having some actual judgment, which i quite like. Also, my opinion is most relevant to rule of law countries, and the Inquisitor is more of rule by divine right/public mandate/void of power type thing, so a wide range of possibilities could be valid.

 

Furthermore we have exactly zero access to the actual law of Fereldan/Orlais/the Inquisition to begin with, nor any precedents. In a rule by whim situation then anything is possible.

True, but evacuating Lothering only worked because the blight hadn't reached it yet. Crestwood was more or less surrounded already.

That cant be true because they dodged the horde. It doesn't matter if they murdered the sick or not - the darkspawn would still have overrun them.

I gave him execution.

 

His actions may have been the only viable way to save lives, however, it is plain that the only life he wanted to save was his own. I may have given him exile if he had been honest about his choice. Instead he lied to his constituents, the people it is his responsibility to serve, and when he knew the truth would come out he tried to run rather than accept his responsibility.

 

His first priority was to serve himself, not his public. He lied to his town, to the Inquisitor, and to himself so that he could sleep at night pretending he had noble intentions. The truth of his intentions was revealed in his cowardice.

Off with his head. Too bad the Inquisitor couldn't do it him/herself.

Grey Warden-ed. The whole village was going to be destroyed if he didn't do something quickly to separate the sick from everyone else. I didn't want to kill him for making a choice that saved alot of lives in the face of impending doom. By being with the Grey Wardens, he is punished with a life that will either subject to the Taint, or a violent death at the hands of darkspawn. The GW's also benefit since they are relatively low in numbers after their special incident. 

 

IMO, execution is sometimes too wasteful and too quick of an escape for criminals.

I wish I could have let the guy go; I didn't want to exile him because he did nothing wrong.

 

He made a very difficult decision but he made the right one.

 

It reminds me of a certain decision in "The Arrival" dlc of Mass Effect 2. People seem to want it both ways. They beg for someone to lead them and make the difficult choices, but when that person does their job and to the best of their ability, they are to be hanged. It's two-faced and of ill character.

 

Shepard's decision in Arrival is different because unlike the mayor of Crestwood he had no other options. The alternative is allowing the Reapers to invade, and in that invasion many more (billions) were going to die than were on that one Batarian colony world. Also Shepard can make an attempt at warning the populace to evacuate. It ultimately doesn't work, but an attempt can be made to save as many civilians as possible. Also the destruction of the colony world was collateral damage and it was not the intended target.

My first playthrough, I handed him over to Ferelden. Let them deal with him. This, of course, was the last thing the Mayor wanted, spending the rest of his life in prison with his guilt gnawing at him.

 

Executing him, an eye for an eye, would be the judgment he prays for since it would finally bring to a close the guilt he'd been carrying for 10 years.

 

Exiling him is just ridiculous. He was already on the run. Spending resources to track him down only to exile him in the end seemed like such a waste of time for everyone concerned.

 

I didn't have the option to make him a Grey Warden but I'm trying for that this playthrough.

 

An option I'd wished they'd included was to send him back to Crestwood. Those he'd wronged, those he'd murdered, those he'd betrayed -- they should be the ones to judge him. It would be his greatest fear come true and deservedly so. And, in my opinion, the only fitting judgment possible. If they want him dead, they can kill him. If they want to forgive him, they can do so. This solely affected them and their loved ones. The refugees who sought help there, gave them their trust and faith and it was betrayed.

 

Yes, the blight is incurable. Yes, it is horrible. But they knew this when they took in the refugees. It would have been better to have slammed their doors shut rather than take them in and then be herded in a cave and drowned like rats. The townspeople had no say in the matter. They would most likely have refused the notion. The mayor may have had good intentions with his actions but sometimes the road to hell is paved with good intentions, as was his and theirs.

 

Let Crestwood decide his fate. They are the only ones with the right to do so.

This was a boring one, none had any good cutscene or generic death scene. Greywarden, exile, or crestwood all result in him just leaving the stupid courtroom. Lazy and boring on biowares part.  Instead of crestwood decide it should have been, "chain him to caves and reflood" with a cutscene of him chained in caves and water creeping in.  Many of the judgements should have shown something or had more variety.
