How in the world can you say that he is truly a good man why would you believe him he who lied to you all that time how can you trust someone like him. I myself let him rot in prison i never pardoned him not even once he is a good tank though but i discovered that only in my first playthrough ( i did not know what he did in his past but i always knew from the beginning that he was hiding something ) after that he never joins my party again. I think that might be the reason why a lot of you people pardon him because he is a good tank but for me Cassandra is a good tank as well.   

 

I think he's a good man because of what we see and hear about in the game.   Before we even meet him he's already risked his life to singlehandedly protect a bunch of random strangers from a horde of demons and refused any sort of payment for doing so.  Then, when those same strangers were robbed he took it upon himself to not only get rid of the robbers, but teach some of his charges what they would need to know to prevent such a thing happening again later.  Aside from that, there's nothing that I can think of to suggest that he was insincere about his morals and beliefs, regardless of the fact that he lied about his name and affiliation.  I guess it's up to the individual to decide if the beliefs he expresses during the game are honest or not, but I personally see no reason to assume that he's conning the Inquisitor.

 

As for the lie itself, it's really only a problem for my characters if they're romancing Blackwall.  In that case it's kind of sketchy that she wouldn't know who he had been, but I wouldn't for a moment suggest that an Inquisitor who's romancing him doesn't know what kind of man he has become since then.  If there is no romance involved then most of my Inquisitors would only expect him to come clean about his past if they become close friends, and he does that in his own adorably self-punitive way.

I rarely ever use him over Cassandra, but I pardon him because he's clearly intent on being of use and helping people. He could have disappeared entirely and looked after only himself, but chose not to. The fact that he decides to finally own up to it so that he can spare someone else the noose while sealing his own fate is a good indicator of the type of person he ended up being. I also consider the setting. It's kind of a nightmare filled with evil monsters and evil people who are hellbent on handing the world over to them. If someone like Blackwall wants to combat that sort of thing, I say let 'im.

I think he wants more than "pardon". I think he might even want forgiveness. And to be with people he views as doing good things. He's one of the characters that believes you're the Herald. And makes subtle hints about redemption....even before he spills his guts.

 

I don't think he deserves the right to be in the core of the Inquisition though. But then again, most characters don't. A few seem slapped together, filling space. I have no idea what they have to do with "Inquisitions".

And for the sake of clarification, didn't he actually only order the death of that one chevalier?  I thought that the wife and children were killed by his men and that he wasn't even aware they would be present until the plan had already been put into motion.  Not to suggest that that absolves him of guilt or anything, but ordering the death of one man is different than ordering the annihilation of an entire family.

No, he ordered the death of everyone in that caravan. That is an established fact. As for the innocent people, he knew they would be there twice over. First, because he knows how this sort of blood feud goes(he tells us this in his jail cell) and also knew when he heard the children singing a nursery rhyme before the attack hit the carriage, but didn't order his men to stop the attack. The only ones who didn't know there were innocents there were his men, whom he lied to about the identity of the caravan. Once the truth was revealed, he used the men he lied to as scapegoats to save his own neck.

I'm not denying that he ordered the death of everyone in that caravan, but I do think that that's different than specifically placing a hit on a couple of kids.  His men would not have killed them if they hadn't been present.  While their deaths still occurred because of his order, I don't believe that he set out to become a child murderer when he took the job.  

 

The rhyme obviously gave their presence away but, as I said, that would have been when the attack was already underway.

If it was clear enough to hear children singing, it was clear enough to hear your commander shout off to break off the attack. He has no excuse.

No excuse, but he may receive mercy.

Well he will not get mercy from me never and ever prison is what he deserves and then the gallows or they may chop of his head that is fine to.

I was all 'poor Blackwell' first run through because i hadn't read all the info properly.

Now i recruit him and just ignore him, because you know, lying b**** doesn't deserve squat.

And i take a certain pleasure in getting all his grey warden stuff without him because HE'S NOT A WARDEN! and it serves him right.

Oh and i flirt with him a bit so just so i can turn him down.

He lied to me *dramatic arm fling across face*.

[VivainaDX]

I've released him to the wardens, let him rot in jail and completely ignored him after I've recruited him. I recruit him as a favor to Lelianna, not because I want him in my party. I hate him as much as I hated Sister Patrice from DA2, he has a vaibe to him that completely creeps me out...you know that whole 'There's my new uncle my mommy brought home from the bar." kinda thing and it's even worse because of his toy carving skills. Ick!
