Seriously, its such a cowardly, chicken ****, yellow thing to do.  You think saving the world isn't a cause worth dying for?  If you shagged Morrigan just to save your own arse at the risk of spawning some demon abomination into the world then you are a disgrace to The Wardens, Kirkwall, and the Inquisition.

I have beaten Dragon Age Inquisition twice and I will never import a save that involves having completed the dark ritual.  The only thing worse than a villain like Corypheus is a coward.

 

.
It's funny how some people uses the smallest opportunity to smash morale in other people's faces?

I think a game has filled its purpose in full when you were given a chance to evaluate and next decide your actions.

Maybe you will encounter a similar situation in real life? Who knows? Could be that you will be better prepared? Anything is possible.

It is dangerous to dig into these questions - something good might come of it.

Did it to save my own ass

 

Getting some more nookie from the woman I romanced was a nice bonus

I love that you talk of cowardice and have Jory has your pic, ironic haha. I did it because not only did it allow me to live, but it also kept Morrigan around for the final battle and preserved old magic.

By that stage of the game the Wardens and Thedas had earned my complete contempt... I would of slept with Flemeth , no actually I would of done a mother daughter double trouble (twice damned) to save my skinny Elven backside. I also danced naked around Duncan's broken body with a goats head, Wynne offered to join me... and Dog was eyeing off one of his thigh bones. Alister, as usual was crying. My Warden, well one of them, is still locking for a Darkspawn detox centre.

Let's see what the choice was.

Die and have your or Loghain's/Alistair's soul destroyed along the Old God's soul or do the ritual and keep everyone's soul intact. 

Dying is one thing, but to destroy a soul is not the kind of judgement I would pass on anyone. Ofc it can be argued Bioware doesn't give a **** about this anymore but whatever.

If my playthrough involved me making the choices I'd make if I actually lived in Thedas, I'd be one of the random rumor-mongers standing around in the market square talking about how he hopes someone will stop the Blight soon.

My motivation for having Loghain assist Morrigan with the Dark Ritual was to benevolently troll him for that prank at Ostagar and to saddle Morrigan with a child so she might learn to be more compassionate.  :mellow:

 

It worked.

 

I love that scene. "Uh, honey. You don't need my permission to sleep with Loghain..."

"But, the dark ritual-"

"If that's what you want to call it." /slow, awkward wink.

Roleplay reasons. I wanted my character to have done something they would later regret. OGB seemed like an interesting opportunity for that.

My Warden was in love with Morrigan, trusted her and wanted to preserve the Old God's soul free from the Blight.

That he survived the Archdemon because of it and wound up having an adorable tyke for a son was just icing on the cake.

Excuse me but I have been banned by 4chan, I don't need your advice on how to troll.  This post however is not an example of trolling poor or otherwise, it is a serious question.
DA:Inquisition is a role playing game, presumably your main playthrough includes making decisions you would make if you were actually in Thedas.  I can understand doing experimental playthroughs just to see the content but to actually see the Dark Ritual as the best option is a completely selfish, cowardly act.

 

no its a stupid question.  Lets look at this as a cost benefit analysis.

 

1) Die and save the world - acceptable loss, noble sacrifice (sorta), and generally fatalistic.

2) Have sex, save world from blight, fall in love with hot mage and have a kid with her and in the meta sense contribute far more to a deeper plot in following games?

 

GEE I WONDER.

 

Not dying isn't cowardly.  Pointlessly sacrificing your valuable and worthy life is cowardly.  Its fatalistic and it shows a lack of trust between you and your companions. You aren't selling anyone out.  No one gets hurt and nothing is sacrificed.  Sure it makes past warden deaths seem meaningless but they didn't have the same knowledge.  If they did I assure you that 'anything necessary' to stop the blight would have included a simple romp in the hay with an apostate.  They were fine with blood magic and giving someone an orgasm is hardly a crime in this game.

 

The Blight can end with or without your death.  If you prefer to die then uhhh be my guest?  I prefer to have my character live on so now he can pursue curing the calling in all grey wardens.  A worthy goal unless ofc you feel that dying due to the taint/corruption is somehow a good thing (Fiona might disagree with you).  A noble sacrifice is only noble if there are only worse or no alternatives.  Otherwise is is pointless martyrdom.  Go get your 73 virgins.

Am I still 'yellow' and cowardly if I did it because I just thought that Alistair needed to get laid just once in case he didn't make it back from the battle alive?  I was playing the ultimate wingman and now I'm being called selfish?  For shame, OP.  For shame.

Because while my Warden really wanted to live, he'd take any excuse to end the half-year long celibacy Morrigan forced on him. The struggle is real in 9:31 Dragon.

Another Roleplay reasons here. Because my Warden like living, and since he owe Duncan, he hasn't only vowed to stop the Blight and slay the Archdemon, he wished to help rebuild the Wardens in Ferelden as well. As for more selfish reasons...my Warden wants to stay with Morrigan, he doesn't want to leave Morrigan behind. The Irony is no matter what he wanted, Morrigan leaves him for a while.

Well it was the night before we were going to end the Blight, would you honestly go into that without some loving the night before?

 

Not using this as my reason, my only reason was so that my Warden didn't die lol.

I did it because Morrigan stepped outside of my monitor for a minute to speak with me personally. She stood there in all her bewitching loveliness and said

 

"Nub, I want you to shag me silly and load me up with an old god baboo."

 

"But Morrigan honey I was gonna do the honorable, noble, and ridiculously viking thing and die like a mensch to save everyone in a Jesusbollocks greatness."

 

"No, Nub, thou shalt shag me and it must be so. There's this guy named Artichoke whose going to post a wind-up on BSN at some point and I am determined to cheese him off personally."

Isn't it amazing to be able to be a hero without having to be a morally pure white knight character :)

My Cousland lady would probably have slept with the ogre if she'd have thought it would have done her any good. Having Alistair sleep with her best friend was a small price to pay for the opportunity to live to become queen, restore her family status, and work to make Fergus heir to the throne.

DA:O allowed us to be narcissistic psychopaths, ruthless politicians, or self-serving opportunists if we wanted. I can't imagine only being able to play through as a saviour for fear of being morally judged on my gameplay decisions.
