Please answer honestly, even if not in topic. If you were in GW situation (young around 20 years)
1. Why would you choose: to die heroically or make a child with Morrigan and live to enjoy fame and honors ?
2. In terms of the game (1 year to live in camps), your fall in love with Leliana or not, as it appears in DAO?
Okay... I'll Bite. If I was a man... in my 20's... and it was real...
I have just been told that I'm not going to live long enough to grow old. In fact, if I survive this battle, not only will I be plagued with nightmares for the rest of my life, but as I grow older I'm going to start 'hearing' something that will even invade my waking hours. In fact, that sound will continue to grow louder until it drives me to the point where I want to die to end its torment.
Great. Nice. My future doesn't sound all that rosy at the moment.
Tomorrow I will face an army of creatures whose leader is a creature of epic proportions. I have seen this army and this creature for myself and they are impressive. Odds are I might not survive the battle and if I do, killing the creature will definitely do me in.
Of course I will be the one to step up to kill the Archdemon. Not only is Alistair my friend, but he was related to my king. He might not have the title, but whether he likes it or not, he is still next in line for the throne. My country needs him to survive more than it needs me to survive. And I do not want to see my friend fall.
This is not going to end well.
I walk back to my room, absorbing all that I have just learned. I am pretty much overwhelmed and ticked off that I wasn't told all of this sooner. I open the door to my room and there stands another person I have gotten to know fairly well during this past year. In fact, not only do I know her well, but I have kind of fallen for her. I'm happy to see her because at this moment, I really need a hug.
As I approach her for that hug and maybe even a kiss, she suggests that I have sex with her so that she can become pregnant. She tells me that the union will result in a child that very well may save my life and that of my best friend.
Pardon?
I'm a male in my 20's. All I really hear is that on the eve of what could be the battle that finally kills me, my sweetheart is asking me to have sex with her. I was hoping only for a hug, a kiss and perhaps a cuddle. Heck, she wants more than that. This very well may be our last night together. Sentiment aside, this may even be the last time I ever get laid. Of course I'm not going to pass that up.
Yes, I heard the parts where she said that my child could turn out to be some sort of monster or demon or... something. If I survive we'll deal with that... later. And yes, I heard her when she told me that she wasn't going to stick around and that she was going to leave right after the battle and some other kind of nonsense that I am not supposed to follow her. Right. Like I would let her go that easy. She should know me enough by now to know that isn't going to happen. Especially if she is carrying my child.
Tomorrow I am marching into one heck of a fight and I want to spend tonight in the arms of the woman I love.
As far as that other gal in our party, that cute little red head, she's okay but she's really not my type. We have also been through a lot in our travels together, she's a great fighter, tells the most interesting stories, has the voice of an angel, but I think of her more as a friend. Maybe even as a little sister.
Some characters might not think bringing an old god baby to the world is a great idea. Some might have strong sense of duty. Some might be religious and against it. I mean sure 99% of US would not sacrifice irl, that's why we are just average boring people whose stories wouldn't make an interesting game.
In an rpg, specifically DAO, you can roleplay as anything anywhere between a complete jerk that is stopping the blight because he hardly ever got a choice up to a noble-borderline saint self sacrificial goodie. I mean why do people ever risk their lives to save someone in a dangerous situation? Why do some people spend their lives trying to make a difference in the world? It doesn't always have to be the straight forward logical-self preservation choice.
