I dunno. It's not so weird when considering that it's probably cursed. I'm not exactly afraid of commitment, but magical commitment is a whole different kettle of fish.
True.
being a mind slave to an ancient god doesn't sound too hot an idea.
So yes I can understand. Even I had reservations about it. Then I remembered that I'm me a shameless "me first" kinda guy so i drank it. Later on I got to channel my inner Homer Simpson though. Took a chance and lost.
After completing the Josephine romance i can safely say she'd be an absolute goner. I could never kill Morrigan, that voice.
LOL! Aawww poor Josephine 
.
If it meant me surviving and maybe gaining untold power then I would kill them off all the companions for each game. Then again I am not as attached to the companions as others.
Yeah, to make this decision so hard you would have to become attached to them or it can be an easy choice for you.
Luckily it was Stroud or Hawke for me I mean everyone knows how that ended. "Hope you don't have arachnophobia Stroud! Good luck!"
Yeah I always kill Loghain, and having Alistair as king only really sounded like a good idea to me with Anora there to help him out. I kind of wonder how this will effect things in the future though.
"Hope you don't have arachnophobia Stroud! Good luck!" Lol I like that, that's funny.
The only way we'll find out if it effected the future is to find out in DA4. But we have to wait 4 years I bet. 
No confirmation of death in this choice (see Llelianna for reference on wtf you're dead)
Someone else thinks they might not be dead as well. But if they really did die then that's the last time we saw them.
Senselessly murdering the entire Orlesian noble court is not a bad thing...it's a blessing to the rest of Thedas. And Would not affect the story as Leliana would run all their operations from my War Table. kappa
I like the idea of having Liliana in charge .
Dragging in all 3 romance options from earlier games would be a bit too meta.
It would stop being a story about the Inquisitor and start being the players story.
I kinda wouldn't want that. It's nice to have the Inquisitor as the wall between me and the game.
It's also why it's weird the Inquisitor would let Morrigan drink the cool aid at the well of sorrows.
The player does know her and can even trust her from DAO but the Inquisitor just met her and she acts pretty damn suspicious even out right lying with key elven translation during what pride hath wrought.
And as others have stated. Hawke or Stroud or Alistair or Loghain (the man) Mac Tir ain't dead until we see the whole mangled corpse.
Yeah but it might be quite dramatic and emotional lol. I like the quests were it's about the Inquisitor and the player, brings back some nice memories 
.
Because the player knows them it can make it that much more personal. Or you never know, they may no longer be the characters we once knew, they might surprise and act like different people, doing things you never thought they'd do. If they became like that however, we'll have to wait and see.

My mage was smart enough to mention that the whole well deal probably is some kind of geass, so he let Morrigan do it. I wasn't willing to risk myself getting bound on the chance that the God might still be alive.
As for the choice at the fade, I had the choice between Loghain and Hawke and I saved Loghain. I never liked Hawke to begin with.

Same was mine you just need the Arcane knowledge perk.
But still Morrigan is a moving and unpredictable asset and would eventually cost the inquisition resources.
The Inquisitor on the other hand is not going anywhere. So all that ancient knowledge would stay in-house.
True it'll endanger the world something fierce but least I have my own personal elven google search engine in my head.

Oh I thought it had to do with being a mage but the perk also might had something to do with that.
Yes I actually mostly agree with your post and I would have actually taken the power from the well for myself if it weren't for that one dialogue option. I just don't like the idea of being bound to an elven god, especially if the person that is being bound is one of the most important people in Thedas.
I'll probably end up drinking from the well this playthrough with my Dalish Archer and maybe change my opinion.
I left Stroud to die/fight. Why? Even though Hawke(he was exactly how I played him ironically) said Corpheus was his responsibility, it was not Corypheus who he was fighting there. It was a giant spider, that probably has an abundance of that poison spider glands I am searching for right now(another char). I didn't see the need for a sacrificial call there, but BW did for some reason.
I drank and would always drink. Knowledge is power and DAI has somehow emphasised that at every corner.
No brainer saving Hawke over various selection of Wardens for me. If choice involved previous LI's i would save Isabela and Leliana/Morrigan in a heartbeat.
As for the well i let Morrigan drink as she was best suited. 2nd playthrough i intend to drink. Being Flemeth's emissary could be cool.
I was a bit disappointed that there were no hard choices in DA:I. Also, there were no choices where you could chose to do evil. I can't help feeling that one cannot be 'good' if one does't have any opportunity to do evil.
I still think that Bethany or Carver should have taken precedence over any of the other Warden possibilities. That would have given me pause. I spent hours working at keeping as much of Hawke's family alive as I could.
Wow. Having Bethany/Carver as the Warden would have made this choice considerably more difficult. I mean, I had Loghain, and I like him best of the three potential Warden choices, but I didn't hesitate to leave him behind in favor of my Hawke. Bethany/Carver would have actually given me pause.
I was another one with the Hawke vs. Stroud choice, so it was a bit of a no-brainer, especially since whether or not the Wardens had a leader didn't really seem to matter. Poor Stroud though, even after his sacrifice the only comments I got from my companions about him was that they would miss his epic mustache.
It just depends. Some of my characters are very political, others very religious. Some are very dutiful and some are kind of selfish.
So, yeah. In hindsight, she would have asked Blackwall to make the sacrifice.
Same here. The choice was framed in such as way that I'm not convinced one of my other party members (Blackwall) couldn't have been sacrificed instead.
Hm. Love Interests... that would pit Leliana against Fenris and Josie in my main World. And as much is I loved her in origins, I absolutely loathe her new "dark and edgy" Attitude (even if it does make Sense, storywise). So she'd go down.
Evil Choices? Yes Please. I want to take Corypheus' place and usurp all of Thedas as his new horned God!
The Hawke vs. Alistair/Loghain/Stroud thing is a no-brainer for me. I can't stand Hawke, so I will almost always pick him to die, just to make it less likely that he'll pop back up for another cameo. For me, my 'canon' worldstate has Stroud in that scene. My 'alternate' worldstate will have Loghain. In both cases, I'd rather the Wardens get a strong leader than just saving some bumbling friend of a friend.
The 'Love Interest' one is also a no-brainer for me. My LI's have been Zevran (hated him, but he was my only option), Anders (hated him, but it made the best story), and Dorian (loved him). So anyone but Dorian is good for me in this situation.
