And yes she deceive you with a bunch of things, why would I be so mad with her because of that, when I don't lose anything important over it? Maybe you just expect people to have ONE view on things, but they don't... What Morrigan does in the game, all those lies and other questionable things, something similar have done to me a lot of people in my life and from my perspective, I gained a lot from that, it kept me on my toes at least so to speak, so I could be more successful later. I don't care much about my dignity or honor or whatever... what do I get from that, a warm feeling? I didn't grow up in environment filled with comfort or honesty, I had to pretty much learn how to "see into people", how to hide some intentions from them, how to be calculating and how to put up with uncomfortable things, that's just the way of my life. What I try to do at least, is take a look on the world from different perspective and don't throw away ideas, just because I don't initially like them. I value a lot of stuff that Morrigan in the game values, like knowledge, power and ability to reach your goals even through some sacrifices, very highly... other people might value different things, that's all fine and well and that's the way it ought to be... life would be pretty boring, should all people have the same ideas and opinions, if you ask me.
So no, I don't support Morrigan, because I would be some fanboy of her (I don't like being a fanboy of anything in fact)... I just had certain experience in my life that allows me to put up with Morrigan's approach rather easily. I don't mind that you don't like her, that's perfectly fine and you should be perfectly fine with me (or others) to like her and go along with her. I hope I kinda enlightened the reason I sort of support her...
Why Morrigan?

What? Are you serious i see only bias of Morrigan fan there,also what's the point? A lie is a lie because the person who receive those lies are still unaware of the truth
I'm serious that my character can't justifiably be angry about a lie my character doesn't know exists. That would be like getting mad because Leliana never tells you that she was working for the Seekers the whole time she was with you, or getting mad because she told you that she was captured in Orlais when really she was captured while on an espionage mission into Denerim. My character can't get mad about those things because my character will never know those things. And your whole list consists of the same lie, over and over, except for the "bird" joke.

It doesn't makes sense in WH the warden is completly aware of Morrgan's lies(there is the 2nd confrontation,she even confess) also there is the possibility to discover this lie during Flemeth quest a clever Warden is needed,simply agree with Flemeth not kill her,return to Morrigan and then tell her that you discovered her double game(be honest and not lie to Morrigan),she will leave the party ,also i do agree that Morrigan is not a character of whom philosophy i will take
anything
If you are not even upset of someone who putted in danger your life against her mother without telling to you the truth to one of your question that can even possibly abandoned the group if you refuse to kill your benefactor Flemeth, that is your business not of my warden(whom i already said was already angry due to her attitude at the alienage with her whole stupid darwinist thing).
and kill Flemeth? are we serious,someone who have be proven only to be a benefactor,someone who have never lied to you?If i will not do this Morrigan will abandon me (and no i don't lie to her just to keep her otherwise i will just be a Morrigan 2.0)
I wll never understand what's the point to kill someone who have never done something bad to the world,quite the opposite,Mythal the protector a wonder,who only protected things into the world,i see killing and attacking Flemeth as one of the most sad thing to do,she is not her daughter who lie and possibly abandon you,she only offered without demand anything,if you want to do the DR is ok,if you dont want to she is not there to call you a moron and give to you a middle finger.
Of course that i would have allowed her to have the soul of the old god and trusted her more than Morrigan,she is into the world for many years and never used her powers for her own benefit,only to protect others wonders

Here's the way I play my city male elf warden..
The only Shem he has grown to trust and love is Leliana. Even though he had a short relationship with Morrigan he knows she can not be trusted but, plays along with her plan knowing he will not kill Flemeth. His reasoning is simple he needs her magic in the coming battles..
He will do the ritual for one reason and one reason only.. He will not sacrifice his life protecting Shems-the very ones that has abused and killed his kind for centuries, sold his family and friends into slavery and murdered his mother.
My female elf is more complicated.

A warm feeling? Or more likely a better world!...Did you even see on how far from the camp and the others she is for an entire year?That is really telling of everything on how your philosophy which is also Morrigan's Philosophy is a failure for an human which is a social animal who need happiness not loneliness,isolation and sadness.
I don't see how my dignity makes the world better, but ok...
If someone doesn't detriments my efforts or goes against me (or efforts of people I care about), they can have all the secrets and lies they want. And I don't see how Morrigan goes against that in case of my Warden.
The thing is... you believe that there's one way of life that is best of everyone... there isn't, you can have a way that is best for majority maybe, but not for everyone. Neither every human is sociable, I for one find no special joy of being constantly around others. Yes I know, it's not usual, but that's the way I feel and I definitely won't deny anybody the same thing. I have the feeling that you expect that I want my way of life for everybody, when I really don't... or the way, to which everybody should aspire to, as you say. I'm not saying my way is generally good way, it's a good way for me and perhaps for some people, who are like me. And I don't think your preferred way would work for me either. I also don't say you should take inspiration from Morrigan, do I? You can take the inspiration from whoever you want or nobody at all, that is your choice.
Edit.: As for the northern Europe, I actually wanted to go visit there for some time, believe it or not. And you know what I like about countries there for example? Their population density numbers... in my country, we have about 35 people per km2, in Scandinavian countries it's pretty much a half (cold environment I guess, another thing I enjoy
).

One of the things I noticed during my 12 play throughs ( started my 13th last night as a mage) is there's several ways you can play this game.
You can choose if you want to be agreeable with everything, rebellious by not agreeing with everything or be a vile and despicable warden.
As far as Morrigan.. While she is a despicable woman her magic power is needed in the coming battles since miss goody goody two shoes Wynne is more of a white mage healer then a black mage fighter.
As far as Morrigan's vile comments put her in a bag with Sten shake them up and dump the bag and I'm not sure which one would fall out first as the vilest.
Our rag time group consist of:
A gung-ho near idiot, a preachy bard, a vile black mage, a drunken dwarf, a fool that would lead our small band in attacks against the darkspawn, a busybody of a white mage and a golem that wants to crush things.
No wonder my poor elf said he/she needs a drink..

No worries... I've seen harsh and believe me, your posts are still pretty far from it (you're just invested, as you said).
And don't worry I see this broken part of Morrigan too, that's the way I try to open to her in the game if I have an opportunity. You should also know - I've yet to play DA:I, so I don't know, how she develops in the meantime, I talk about these things from the point, where Witch Hunt ended. You are pretty much right about that a part of her personality wasn't created at her own volition, I agree with that, but there's a lot in her I see in myself, that's why I feel whatever I feel about her. What you've said about her having two different personalities... that's something I am very, very familiar with, because I am aware I have them too, I just learned how to suppress one or the other, when appropriate. You wonder, why I sound polite in these conversations? Because I have (imaginary speaking) chains on myself that stops me from going spontaneous the moment I think of something. What I believe is that Morrigan doesn't have the same restraint I put on myself, that's part of the reason, why she gets confused, when confronted with certain situations in the game and is often dismissive and sometimes contradicts herself. Hmm, great I just spent some serious thoughts on comparing my own personality with an artificial character, I go crazy sometimes... ![]()
As to why my canon Warden agreed to do DR with her... he's attracted to these things (arcane stuff, rituals...) and see it as an opportunity to do, what no one has done before, something that might change the way people look at old gods, origin of darkspawn and so on (that works for myself too, just substitute magic stuff with science and technology
). It also makes Warden's story arc more interesting for me... If I would be in shoes of my Warden at the moment, I'd probably do it too, since I don't see something evil in that and the lore question about nature of old gods, darkspawn and this ancient history just bothers my mind to no end.
I am definitely more interested in that, than a lot of side stories or even main stories that Bioware puts in the game.
Our rag time group consist of:
A gung-ho near idiot, a preachy bard, a vile black mage, a drunken dwarf, a fool that would lead our small band in attacks against the darkspawn, a busybody of a white mage and a golem that wants to crush things.
I'll drink to that. ![]()

Are you kidding me? You did not just seriously claim that Flemeth never lies to the warden. Of course she lies to the Warden. Whether or not Morrigan knows the plan for sending her from the start, Flemeth certainly does. And at the end of the day, I still don't know whether Flemeth actually steals babies from the Chasind in order to raise them as her daughters and then devours their souls and possesses their bodies but there is reason to think just that. And the reason why Flemeth can't abandon you is because she wasn't there to help you in the first place.

Flemeth, Is IMHO worst then her daughter. She didn't save two Grays just to "Well we can't have all the wardens to die.", she saved the ones that would fit her scheme in getting the soul of the old God. There was other wardens present but,what's better then a formidable new recruit and one that isn't all that bright?
It was Flemeth that had Morrigan watch the wardens in the wilds and bring them to her so, she could pick the best two candidates. I'm satisfied Flemeth or Morrigan watched,the joining and later Flemeth watched Alistair and the PC and plucked them from the tower and that dialog between mother and daughter was nothing more then a put on so,the wardens would think she was helping them by sending her daughter with them because "She knows the wilds,the way around the Darkspawn horde and her magic will be useful". Sounds good doesn't it?

Flemeth knew exactly what she wanted and I don't believe for one second she would have cared if all the wardens died if she didn't want the soul old God...
She needed two wardens and that "well, we can't have all the wardens die" was a lie just like sending Morrigan to help because "she knows the wilds,how to get around the horde and you need her magic".
What she really meant is I need Morrigan to go with you to do my bidding and that's the only reason I saved you..
If you talk to Flemeth after Morrigan joins and just before leaving and ask her about coming with you she will reply "I already did more then the world deserves". That comment is what made me think Morrigan was up to something when I played my first game.

Heh, interesting, never tried to talk to her at that moment... I wonder if she believed at that moment that by setting things in motion for the Dark Ritual, she actually does whole world a favour or if she talked about something else.
For the discussion - Flemeth doesn't lie directly, she just hides her intentions... she is basically just much more experienced in that kind of thing than Morrigan could be. She actually has some sort of admiration from me for that, believe it or not.
Morrigan then tries to cover it up by some lies here and there, but she doesn't do any real damage with those lies either. Another thing - when Morrigan asks you to slay her and you go into the Wilds to investigate, Flemeth really doesn't tell you in the slightest, what the truth is (if she plans to posses Morrigan's body or not), you just don't know at this point. My Warden didn't come to her to slay her on sight, like Morrigan probably wants, he really wanted to hear her version of this (Morrigan could be wrong in this, that's entirely possible)... and if she convinced him that she wouldn't posses her daughter's body in the end, he would let her go. But since she really doesn't tell you... I'm still kinda 50/50 on this decision, but it's sort of branded a little meaningless, because even Morrigan tells you, you won't kill her permanently, you just buy her some time to be better prepared in the future.

Vlada47,Flemeth does beat around the bush by saying "That's a old, old story Flemeth has heard and has told." Not exactly a lie nor is it a direct answer to the question of her taking over Morrigan's body. I'm yet to kill Flemeth on Morrigan's say so simply because my warden doesn't trust her.
I'm playing my 13th DA:O game as a mage and I still get into the game and it seems I learn something new in every game.

My Warden told the trader to share, so he didn't hear it.
Just to be clear - I never called anyone stabbing Morrigan a monster, I just didn't like doing it for some reasons people here presented, that's all... so don't go to me with some talk of double standards. ![]()
About Flemeth... I said she didn't lied to the Warden exactly, she just didn't tell him about some stuff and didn't say anything to contradict Morrigan's accusation of her stealing her daughters' bodies. When a companion comes to me believing he/she is in problem, I won't treat it as child tales, unless I find a evidence that it is just a child tale.

Flemeth raised Morrigan the way she is so ,they're two of a kind but, Flemeth is far better at covering her intentions.
Warden to Morrigan: So,why did your mother rescue me?
Morrigan: I have ask that question myself..I would have rescued the king since he is worth more.
Warden to Flemeth: So,why did you rescue us?
Flemeth: Well,we can't have all the wardens to die now can we? Of course not! What she really means I need you two to help my daughter get the sprit of the old God and what better candidates could I choose then a raw recruit and a not so bright gung-ho warden?
What Flemeth fails to mention she had Morrigan (in animal form) to watch you while in was in the Wilds. I am fully persuaded that Flemeth (in animal form) watched the joining and kept a close eye on your whereabouts-how else would she know you was in the tower?
Next time you play resist the idea of going on a suicide mission and fighting the blight and listen closely to what Flemeth says.
Even that mother/daughter discussion about Morrigan going was a put on.

Flemeth didn't watch the joining because she doesn't need to do this,she was waiting the warden long before,is one of Mythal ability,the foreshadowing and be capable to predict to a certain degree the events,she ask to Morrigan to accompany the warden to her,because she was already aware of the Warden arrival
last statement is an undeniable truth.

My GW doesn't completely trust Flemeth and certainly doesn't trust Morrigan but, he/she needs Morrigan magic.

Gaider wrote and Aimo illustrated a lovely short comic strip about the conversation Morrigan has with Alistair right before she goes to speak to the warden on that night that really captures a lot of what a high approval Morrigan is experiencing before making her offer. The one on the bioware blog only shows the first page, the other links are broken to the other pages. This one on the artist's blog is complete.
This is weird. This seemed like a different character to me from the Morrigan I knew I my playthrough.
