So, my question to you all is: What do I do. And why?

My insticts tells me to protect Morrigan - again.

But what did you decide?
 
 Please help!Time stands still until I am able to make my decision.
 

 

In all my games so far Morrigan got to drink. This time it will be quizzie for achievement rp reasons (Dalish mage). [I may have to reload and let Morrigan drink again depending on what Dorian's reaction is. :unsure:]

 
 

Heh, I sped through everything to get to the romance stuff :P

 

Sounds like me after I got to Skyhold this game. Talk to Dorian, do Dorian quest, talk to Dorian, run around ignoring everyone else, talk to Dorian again..... :wub: Romance scene! <3

 

Update on my current game: Zevran finally showed up! (on the war table). He may have accidentally  :whistle: killed one of our Crow contacts. I love Cullen's blurb on why we shouldn't work with him:  "Another assassin wishes to help? After killing one of our other assassins? We're already stuck with the Crows. Why make this more complicated?"  I went with Leliana on this one. :lol:

 

Updating my update: all the landmarks in giant territory are marked. Olinar and squad only had to kill 1 giant since they were able to outrun avoid the others. I need only 3 more mosaic pieces to have all 5 complete. One is in the Cradle of Sulevin (haven't been there yet). One is in Chateau d'Onterre (I got one from there but missed the second) and the other one is in an "unknown location." <_< Will have to do some wandering in my next session in order to find it. Then I will be off to Darth Leliana-ville and Emprise du Lion.

Well, as Mushashi7 pointed out, I wasn't too well-prepared for this last one, and further gimped myself by forgetting to swap Vivienne's staff, effectively removing a huge chunk of her damage-dealing capabilities. I could have used the nearby fast-travel thingy and gone back home to stock up on proper gear, but I would've had to listen to Bull and the Chargers sing, "Bravely, bold ser Dofni, rode forth from Skyhold Camp..." All night long, and who wants that? :D .

When it comes time to face down the Sandy Howler, I will be better prepared... With earplugs too ;)

 

The three dragon's in Du Lion are a pain in the butt. I usually sack 1 out of 3 dragons before cleaning house. I think after the first one is dead i switch to one of the other zones. Honestly I find the dragon in the Hissing Wastes easier than the second and third dragon. After sacking the Hissing wastes dragon then I tangle with the last two then defeat the final in the STorm Coasts. The storm coast one feels like it's the worst because of that electrical ring that it puts on your party. I was lucky to kill all of them with my male human 2H warrior reaver. I kept using DRAGON RAGE+ UPGRADE, Regen potion and healed myself. Wasn't pretty but I pwned it.

 

 

Help - I have a problem!


I need help.

I am put to the test as nowhere else in the game. I gave in and took the team to The Temple Of Mythal for the first time to finish the map and get on with the story.

Yes, yes, I know. I crashed a couple of times, but I think I got the idea. Even without the dialogues.
Actually I'm quite happy I crashed exactly at the point where I had to decide if Morrigan or I should drink of the well.

I just discovered how much Morrigan means to me. It's utterly ridiculous, right? It's something I didn't see coming. It hit me like a hammer.
I can't leave Morrigan to be bound by Flemeth! Not in a million years! Not after her struggle to get out of her claws. I helped her fight Flemeth, the wicked witch! And I had a child with her.

Then this woman turns up after the Winter Palace and wants to help. Ok, fine by me! ("I'm not talking to you before we get home!")

 

 

I didn't think that much about it. Not until we were standing there at the edge of the well - and I had to decide weather I should deny her what she wanted the most, or if I should protect her from evil.
Suddenly the old feelings from DOA cames brushing in like a tsunami. You know the drill, right?

CURSE YOU, BIOWARE!

You really know how to play with people's feelings!
It just ain't fair to bring an old love interest into the game like this! Morrigan is so vulnerable. And she doesn't even know it!
Aw, maaan....! I'm completely out of control with this one. Damn!

So, my question to you all is: What do I do. And why?


My insticts tells me to protect Morrigan - again.

But what did you decide?
 

 

Please help!Time stands still until I am able to make my decision.

The Arbor Wilds  was great by the way: I met Celene again in the start of the map :wub:

 

Well honestly from the Vollsan's (Draven Vollsa: male human 2h warrior and Amolla Vollsa: female human sw/sh warrior) point of view was that since they are unfamiliar with the power of magic what better person would be someone that has great knowledge in magic.

 

However in Vyre Dite's (female human mage) point of view she combination of not fully trusted Morrigan with the power and Vyre being a mage who is very knowledgeable in A-LOT of stuff feels like she can find the means to control the power of the well since she's a gifted and knowledgeable mage. When it came to the whole Flemeth issue the Vollsan's felt bad for knowing that Morrigan can now be controlled by her own mother because they themselves hated being controlled by their own family. Vyre doesn't regret her decision at all. In the long run Vyre sees it as how Morrigan still has her freedom and as Morrigan said it herself "I plan on being a better mother than you". Flemeth always controlled Morrigan so letting Morrigan not have the well allows Morrigan to continue being herself. Sure Vyre is taking Morrigan's burden but making the sacrifice for a friend is what counts.

It was a fun battle even though I lost it. Things went kinda weird at the end, after Dofni died and I took control of Blackwall. He still had some guard at that point so I kinda felt like I was in okay shape, but the first couple times I had him attack, I realized he had targeted one of the dragonlings instead of the Ravager... So I went into the tac-cam to switch targets, only the game didn't pause so Blackwall died. He may have still been brooding over the stern verbal lashing Solas had given him earlier that day, however. Uhhh, not to mention losing Dofni :whistle:

The Highland Ravager: Attempt #2. No alterations from the first attempt, except to swap out Vivienne's fire staff for an ice-staff, which I had intended to do the first time. Didn't heal anyone, didn't restock potions, didn't add any fire-resistant gear... so here we go: 
 
Spoiler
 
In conclusion, everyone survived the second fight, although it was a near thing for Cole. Just goes to show that having the right type of elemental damage for your mage's staff can make all the difference, because I really didn't use any different tactics this time around, except for having Dofni blow her own (War) Horn a little more often for that damage boost from everyone. Sometimes, in the heat of battle, I forget I can do these kinds of things :blush: ... kinda like Iron Bull forgetting to survive I suppose! 
 
Anyway, back to Skyhold now to check out all my glorious new loot ^_^ Gonna take the long way around so I can harvest the last seven Emprise shards. Got 20000+ experience from this fight! Woo! Got all the way to level 23. Only thing that disappoints me: No fade-touched silverite! That's two games in a row without it. And the stuff I found the first time gave a different bonus than the +5 guard on a hit. <_<
 
So now, the last High Dragon in Orlais is the Sandy Howler, and after a brief trip through the Arbor Wilds with Morrigan, Dofni's Inquisition will be heading for the Hissing Wastes next.

@ Mushashi, I get where you're coming from about Morrigan. I like to be in-character for the choice, so it depends on how they feel about Morrigan and mysterious elven hocus pocus. But I don't like having Morrigan in service to Flemeth forever more. It's the same with other characters I love - even if it's out of character, I can't kill them or send them away. I get far too attached to them! :lol:

I don't think I've ever gotten FT silverite. It's too bad there isn't an Inq perk or something that increases drop rates!

Even with FT ring velvet, I think I got 90 pieces of normal ring velvet in my last PT, and then one piece of FT (wrong kind too!).  :rolleyes:

They could make it part of the Ravager's loot or something, similar to how you can always get a piece of FT Obsidian from the chest on that boat after fighting the Fereldan Frostback... I guess if you're really sneaky about it, or quick, or have good fire-resistant gear, you don't even have to fight her first... but I'm not the kinda guy to avoid a dragon fight, even if it kills me :D

 

The zombies on the Exalted Plains sure have a lot of that ring velvet. I'm not surprised you collected so much. What's the bonus for the FT ring velvet again?

Your level determines how many you get from a node, from level 16 and onwards you'll start collecting more than 1 from the tier 3 nodes.

If this effect FT droprates though, I have no idea. I guess so though, because I always get normal metals next to my FTs.

Or well, the droprate wouldn't be affected but you'd need less retrievals per recovered FT metal. :P

The good FT rv has 'hidden blades with 4 extra hits', but the other one has something more pointless. Making the silverite part of the dragon loot would be perfect! It'd be good if we were guaranteed at least one piece of  each FT material per PT. That would probably be overkill though!

Ah, right! I should know that since I had that in Dofni's last crafted sword :blush: ... I've got one piece of FT plush fustian velvet, and it's 'hidden blades with five extra hits' but I'm saving it to see what kinda tier 3 2H weapon schematics I get in the Hissing Wastes, if any. Sure gonna be tough to give up the Sulevin Blade, though B)

I dunno, I wouldn't mind some way to at least increase the drop rate of some of this stuff. I'd trade in all the FT berserker materials to make it happen, even :whistle:

I've got FT Onyx on my DW Tempest at the moment. It's only 2 guard on hit, but it's still working wonders for me  :wub:

 

The Highland Ravager's always been the hardest dragon for me. I think it's because I'm always on NM, high dps is more important than protecting the squad. I'm not particularly good at offense at the cost of defence, apparently  :whistle: Anyway, congrats on getting them all in one go, Spork, quite impressive  :D

 

Not much to update today. Revas mostly just wandered around with Cassandra, Varric and Vivienne. They cleared out the rest of Crestwood (minus the dragon), finished up the Storm Coast (again, minus the dragon) and did a few War Table missions while wrapping up a few things in the Hinterlands. Fallow Mire and the Western Approach tomorrow, I think.

Thanks :) it was fun to fight them all like that, and to defeat the Ravager on my second attempt. I felt like I would have been cheating if I changed anything between fights... Except for Viv's staff. If I play it like that again next game I'll go in better prepared, with proper gear and resistances from the start.

Morrigan - The Well Of Sorrows


I chosed to protect Morrigan. Yes, I did...

At least i thought so. I am not sure this was the right choice.

Someone in the other thread I created explained something that made me think a bit. His views was based on the epilogue with Flemeth and Solas.
It's still a gamble and a matter of belief and trust. He said that the Well Of Sorrows was Flemeth's gift to Morrigan.

And then I remember Flemeth say to Morrigan: "You were never in any danger from me, girl."
She said this when I summoned her at her altar in the Arbor Wilds.

Flemeth obvioulsy wanted Morrigan to obtain the power that can protect her and make her even stronger. And it actually fits. Why should Flemeth go through all this just to lure Morrigan into a trap? Flemeth knew she balanced on an edge. And she helped the inquisitor. By doing so she knew her destiny was decided.

So, I guess I have to load a previous save and let her drink this time.

Wheeee! I completed all 5 mosaics! :D  :lol:  B)   (with help from this thread: http://forum.bioware...with-locations/, and the community fix that unbugged that one piece in the Hinterlands.

 

Olinar is working his way through Emprise du Lion. Got all the camps set up but still need to find the quarry/free the workers and capture the keep (and kill the dragons). This is the last zone to clear before Arbor Wilds.

 

Complaint of the day: "Mountains. Cold. 'Let's take Dorian!'" He's such a wuss. :rolleyes: Little did he know, that was just Olinar's sneaky way of getting to keep him warm at night. :wub: 

 

Nasty enemy of the day: NM Level 21 Revenants in the Cradle of Sulevin. :blink: 

 

Dumb question of the day: Why do enemies have tens of thousands of hit points but everyone in my party has around 1K? How is that fair?

Ulekarot's exploits brought him back to the west of Orlais, where he and his allies squared against Clarel and the demented Grey Wardens at the ancient ruin of Adamant. What ensued was a chaotic battle that involved legions of abominations and the appearance of Corypheus' signature Archdaemon. That wasn't the highlight however; another desperate trek through the Fade, coupled with a face-off against the terrifying Nightmare daemon in its demented abode, took the cake. He and his allies were taunted and mocked as it revealed their greatest regrets and fears; predictably, Iron Bull, already adverse toward anything involving daemons and spirits, was especially not entertained. Nor was Cole, who wouldn't stop panicking; Solas however, stabilized him with comforting words. Ulekarot was too proud to admit that he also shared a deep-seated fear of daemons in spite of his extensive time dealing with them elsewhere.

 

Their manifestations didn't help the matter either. They came in many forms; Solas revealed that they appeared differently to each individual, reflecting their own individual thoughts and emotions. In Adaar's case, they often came in the form of his long lost brother, the Saarebas that he often wondered about whenever he did consider his past. Sometimes the daemons even appeared in the form of his father; in the worst cases, they appeared as himself collared and chained with his mouth sewn shut, his tongue removed, and an Arvaarad close by, forcing him to do as they bid. Only his hatred for his father kept him from losing his nerve.

 

Adaar and company eventually learned the truth about how the events at the Conclave took place; he'd apparently been saved by Divine Justinia, who'd died while helping him escape the Fade. Ulekarot had correctly predicted his "savior" wasn't Andraste after all. The spirit of Justinia - or perhaps a spirit reflecting her - aided them and managed to escape, but not without a tragic loss; Hawke sacrificed herself so that they could escape. Loghain promised Hawke that he'd rebuild the Grey Wardens, who'd long since fallen into disarray due to the manipulative powers of Corypheus and the death of Clarel.

 

 

z3Bdsta.png

 

In spite of the sheer incompetence the Grey Wardens had displayed throughout the entire debacle- especially by foolishly abusing blood magic - Ulekarot saw promise in Loghain and allowed them to remain. There were plenty of Darkspawn they could toss themselves at as compensation.

 

With these matters taken care of, Ulekarot soon made a push with his allies on the Arbor Wilds; Corypheus was headed to a temple there, devoted to the elvhen Goddess Mythal. Yet another relic lay here; an eluvian that he hoped to use to reach the Fade, in addition to a mystical well that would provide that knowledge to those who partook of it. (What's it with elves and water rituals?) Other things stirred also: Sentinels, ancient elvhen guardians who protected the Well from outsiders. Thanks to the advice of Morrigan - the only advice from the arcane "expert" that had been useful, ironically - their leader, Abelas, believed that their cause to combat Corypheus was genuine; they'd honored the temple's traditions and had solved the riddles there.

 

After a rather anticlimactic showdown with the main stooge of Corypheus - a Tevinter zealot named Calpernia - it was finally time to take on the wisdom that the Well possessed. Morrigan was all-too-eager to volunteer, even brushing aside Abelas' warning about those who used it; those who inherited its powers would be bound to the Goddess of the Temple. Adaar however, recognizing the weight that came with Abelas' warning - in addition to the reward - decided against it, and chose to use it himself.

 

Spoiler

 

Adaar and his allies managed to escape and outwit Corypheus yet again, but something felt much different. With the knowledge of the well inside of him, they learned the truth about Corypheus' powers and supposed immortality, finding a link in his archdaemon, which was merely a dragon he'd corrupted by investing his power within it. They'd need to find a means to destroy it if they hoped to have a chance at defeating Corypheus permanently, and as events would later reveal, he'd find the answer at yet another price.

Great screenies! ... I read that post about Flemeth and Morrigan and Solas in your other thread, too, and it made me think that letting Morrigan drink from the well is the right thing to do. That Morrigan had the wrong idea about Flemeth all along, and that the power she gains from the Well, even with its drawbacks will be necessary for the future to come. Events we can't even see yet, like back in DA:O and whether to do the dark ritual with Morrigan. If she's romanced then sure, of course, why not? But if she isn't? Then the DR is a convenient way for the warden to not die, and that's about it. Now we know different, but back then? Ehhh, I dunno, it's a tough choice, either way, and letting her drink from the well is a real leap of faith.

B) ... in my first game when I chose the templars, my Lavellan talked Calpernia out of a fight, and since Morrigan drank from the well, I didn't have to fight the guardian either. i kinda like RP'ing resolutions instead of combat resolutions sometimes. I have no idea what I'll do this time around.

Great screenies! ... I read that post about Flemeth and Morrigan and Solas in your other thread, too, and it made me think that letting Morrigan drink from the well is the right thing to do. That Morrigan had the wrong idea about Flemeth all along, and that the power she gains from the Well, even with its drawbacks will be necessary for the future to come. Events we can't even see yet, like back in DA:O and whether to do the dark ritual with Morrigan. If she's romanced then sure, of course, why not? But if she isn't? Then the DR is a convenient way for the warden to not die, and that's about it. Now we know different, buy back then? Ehhh, I dunno, it's a tough choice, either way, and letting her drink from the well is a real leap of faith. 

 

Congrats! :D ... totally not jealous, not one bit :whistle: It's looking like Dofni won't be completing any mosaics on her journey. <_< Depending on what i find in the Hissing Wastes, of course.

You know this kind of happened the first time I played Wicked Hearts.  I was watching...I think Jumpin's playthrough of Wicked eyes and saw him just totally basically ****** slap her verbally and all over the place.  And just totally own her.  And I was like kewl.  And even though I had heard you could have a boss fight with her I will admit I was totally unprepared for it, and just watching your well laid plans get turned to ash and watching your soldiers get slaughtered.  Well, ****.

When I first met Morrigan (again) in the Winter Palace, i couldn't be anything but nice to her. She walked down those stairs and said, "well well, what have we here?" ... and I was taken right back to that first PT of DA:O with all the :wub: I felt then. She was back, and it was awesome. I totally get where Mushashi is coming from with this whole Morrigan conflict. 

 

I fought the Guardian in my second game, when Harold drank from the well, but there was no way my tempest archer was going to lose a dragon fight :P

Heh funny, I never knew you could fight the Guardian.  I mean if you are talking boss fight then amazing game BioWare, they did a great job.  And can't wait to see how they improve on it.

Oh, sorry, I thought you were talking about the Guardian when you said, "And even though I had heard you could have a boss fight with her I will admit I was totally unprepared for it." My bad :blush:

Ah okay, gotcha. Yeah, Harold fought her too, same result as with the dragon ;) It was a good fight, though, and totally worth it for the judgement that comes afterwards.

Oh that guardian. LOL I thought you were talking about Abelas.  Communication fail.  

 

Does not detract from DAI being amazing.

I've got it!

 

It just struck me. Now I know why Corypheus wants to destroy the world.

He is sexually frustrated.

I mean: With his looks I'd say it very hard to get laid. Or?

Well and he was stuck in a Warden Prison for a thousand years, and was aware of it. At least in part.  

 

And really I do not think he wanted to desroy the world, at least not until the end, and even then that was debatable.
