This is the one decision of the game that I'm still not sure which choice is the "right" one to make. Especially since we don't know what the ultimate consequences are.

 

On my first playthrough, I was very protective of Morrigan. I already knew ahead of time who Mythal was, and there was no way I was going to let her be bound to her mother. Of course, if you don't like Morrigan, than that choice can be very appealing.

 

There's also something appeal having a Dalish Inquisitor drink from the well as I assume they could learn somethings about their heritage. However, Morrigan suspects there's a lot the Inquisitor won't be able to understand, so I'm not sure what capacity the Inquisitor  has to learn more.

 

And if you romanced Solas, he's very unhappy about this. And I think Solas more than anyone understands what the consequences of drinking from the well might be.

 

On my second playthrough, I let Morrigan drink. And it seems clear to me she has a better grasp on the well's powers. I mean, she learns how to turn into a dragon while the Inquisitor can only summon one. And since Flemeth tells Morrigan the voices from the well will teach her more than she herself ever could - there's something appealing in having Morrigan grow in power - uless you don't like/trust Morrigan, then you probably don't want her to drink.

 

And if you romanced Morrigan in Origins, you are more compelled not to let her drink as a protective measure.

 

Honestly, there's a lot to consider from a player perspective. It's definitely a difficult decision for me. I'm not sure which one I like best yet.

 

 

 

 

EDIT: Sorry, I missed you didn't want meta game answers. Though, honestly, it's hard not to meta game in this instance.

 

My Dalish inquisitor drank because they wanted the knowledge. My human noble didn't because they didn't know what the consequences would be and figured if Morrigan wanted the power, she could have it.

I didn't really see much reason for my human Inquisitor to drink from a magical, geas-infused elven wading pool, not when there was a more willing participant available.

[jlb524]

My Inquisitors usually don't drink. It just seems irresponsible for a person with that much power (and the only one that can close rifts) to go all "YOLO I'll drink from the magic Well!" not knowing the consequences (especially if you recognize there's a geas on it).

It's alright to do some meta gaming, we all do.

I was just interested in reading about how people handled the decision roleplay wise.

That's the beauty of it. You know the consequences, but your character doesn't. How are you gonna get around that? Maybe with a little creativity? Who knows.

But Solas is the god of freedom, rebellion etc. I don't really trust some of the things he says or some of his opinions because of that.

But he does know who Mythal is and what she might do with someone bond to her will ... that's the part that worries me.

[Rascoth]

My Inquisitor is human noble mage and andrastian. She let Morrigan drink from it. As for her reasoning...

She never really wanted power and a fuss around her makes her... angry, to be delicate (she can be vocal about it sometimes). Every time someone calls her "Herald of Andraste" she feels like punching something (or them). When she's given opportunity to gain even more power, she just says nope. She even agrees with Abelas on destroying the Well and it's before she feels its real nature. But then... No one wants to destroy it, she doesn't want even more power (she already feels like she has too much power), so when Morrigan volunteers... "Are you sure? Yes? Then go on! I don't need another addition to my myth!"

That's my Lyall's reasoning.

God of freedom, rebellion? Sounds like Shepard.

[Fiery Phoenix]

Am I the only one who drank from the well once just for the On Burning Wings achievement?

 

I hope not!

Nope, you're not the only one xD 

[Forsythia77]

I had one of my humans drink it, but didn't have my Dalish mage drink it.  Go figure.  When it came down to it, even though during her play through I knew what the pros and cons were, I decided to have her NOT drink it based on how I made previous decisions for her (she also conscripted the Templars - I played her in such a way that she really had no connection to the mages or opinion on their circle issues, but I also played her as a person who had no real connection to her clan either).  In general I don't feel it is to any of my Inquisitor's benefits to do so, so I let Morrigan have at it.  I've never not had someone use it though.

My Dalish inquisitor drank because they wanted the knowledge. My human noble didn't because they didn't know what the consequences would be and figured if Morrigan wanted the power, she could have it.

Flemeth: You were never in danger from me. (to Morrigan in the Fade)

 

I personally feel like it should be Morrigan's. Like you said she is better equipped to utilize the Well's powers. She does want to preserve the old ways before they become lost and forgotten. I admire that if that is truly her purpose. And she does go on to say the greatest secret of all is the one she left behind. While Flemeth wasn't the best mother she probably raised Morrigan to be disconnected from Thedas/society in order for her to pursue this knowledge and hopefully preserve it.

 

Plus, the inquisitor drinking just makes them a tool for Mythal IMO. When you meet her and you drank she's like ehhhh I don't have a purpose for you yet. Gee thanks!

I agree with all of that, except with Flemeth dead I do wonder how much danger Morrigan might be in from Mythal specifically...

[Pokemario]

Pfft,I was the First of a Dalish Clan,of course I would use it! XD

[durengo]

i drunk from the well because of...

 

...the power you can maybe get.

 

if my inquisitor  would be bound on mythal then it would be a interesting part of a new storyline.

the question will be how does it effect him ? get he crazy ? will he be evil ? will he be a true hero like before ? or just a slave of mythal?

 

i  decided to not trust morrigan.. she killed the elfen well guard and seems too greedy to get what she wanna.

 

another reason is that i can use the story of my inquisitor for my own fan fiction.

he is able now to use the power from the well to save the world...but he could also use the power to destroy the world.

so it's up to me if my inquisitor will be evil in the future or a true hero into my  fan fiction.

[happy_daiz]

I let Morrigan drink in my first playthrough, because I had no idea what was going to happen.

 

In my second, my Dalish Elf, who was also romancing Solas, drank from the well. That...did not go very well. My Elf was apparently a dipshit, and couldn't understand the voices, anyway, and Solas was quite angry about it.

 

In my current playthrough, and any others, I will be letting Morrigan do it. I mean, I loved having the dragon buddy, but I was heartbroken when it died during the endgame battle (or at least, appeared to). Maker, noooooo! So, to avoid more tears, I'll let Morrigan have that burden.

 

But role-playing wise? My Trevelyan just didn't want to be bound to Mythal. She didn't know what the price was going to be from the well, anyway, and just said hell no. My Dalish Elf thought she knew it all, and wanted to keep the history/voices for her people.

 

With my Dwarf, I think she'll just be like, uhh, you can keep your dang magic voodoo. I'm bound to no one!

[mopotter]

My first play through was a elf mage who romanced Solas.  She was not going to let anyone else use the well and I liked how it worked out.  She didn't agree with everything Solas said, knew he was keeping some things from her so didn't really care if he approved or not.     Morrigans reaction made me laugh. 

 

 2nd time Qunari rogue who wanted nothing to do with the well, but agreed to let Moragan (had son) drink from it and it was interesting seeing how Morrigan reacted.  

 

I have a two more human mages in progress, I know one will destroy it, not sure about the other.  

[Boost32]

There is no option to destroy the well, its either you drink or Morrigan.

[sillymonkboy]

Shada - Dalish Rogue in a relationship with Solas - Drinks because she feels at a disadvantage in their relationship and wants to be more his equal.

Akasha - Qunari Mage in a relationship with Sera - Drinks because she wants more power and knowledge. She believes "gods" are just extremely powerful mages.

Alexander - Human Warrior in a relationship with Cassandra - A devout Andrastian. Doesn't drink.

Next will probably be a male Dwarf Reaver seeking martial power and Paragonhood. Unlikely to drink.

[Lumix19]

But he does know who Mythal is and what she might do with someone bond to her will ... that's the part that worries me.

Or he just might not like what Mythal will do with the person bound to her, it doesn't mean it's necessarily bad. I mean if Solas really did lock away the rest of the gods then his comments and opinions on them become rather suspect.

[NamelessAce]

Alison Adaar had every single knowledge perk there was to have, just for the sake of being more knowledgeable in game. While disputing with Morrigan over who should contain this nugget, what tipped the scales in Alison's favor was the fact that Morrigan has a family, whilst Alison doesn't. Out of sheer benevolence and logic she ultimately made the decision to drink from the Well of Sorrows so Morrigan can continue her family life undisturbed.

[Icy Magebane]

My Inquisitor drank from the Well because he didn't feel like cooperating with Morrigan... considering this "bound to Mythal" business or whatever, that probably wasn't a good idea, but I don't really care what happens to the character so it's not a big deal for me. 

 

I wanted to just refuse this path outright since it came totally out of nowhere and wasn't even explained well when it did come up... but of course, the game doesn't allow you that kind of freedom, so w/e.

[Qun00]

You know what's funny? Getting disapproval for letting Morrigan do it.

Sure, maybe they wanted you to stop Morrigan from taking such risk. But there's a great difference between doing that and drinking from the Well yourself.

For reals. They actually wanted the Inquisitor to mess with unknown magic and potentially be enslaved or something just as bad?

[Anaeme]

Morrigan should drink...the inquisitor has no business being bound to the will of Mythal. 

 

Morrigan has unfinished business with her mother. 

 

Flemeth deliberately lured Morrigan to the Temple of Mythal knowing full well that if Morrigan saw the Well of Sorrows she would not be able to resist the temptation to drink.

 

 

The inquisitor should really not get involved in that business between Flemeth and Morrigan 

[Cadeym]

I played as an elven mage in my first playthrough without knowing how it would all turn out, so after quite a bit of "maybe this is a really bad idea" I figured that everyone might be better off if I drank from the well.. but other than a whisper or two, it's really not impressive in any way. It would have been a lot more interesting if we just started getting random whisper containing information / spoilers.

 

Letting Morrigan drink from it is far more entertaining if you ask me.
