Yes, relationships involving someone with mental health issues may be more likely (in a vacuum) to be challenging/difficult to maintain, but I don't think that's the same as being an unhealthy relationship. But as evidenced by this thread, I think we all have a slightly (or not so slightly) different opinion on exactly what "unhealthy" means.

 

To me, it doesn't mean you'll have hardships to overcome, it doesn't mean you might argue a lot. To me it would be something more like one person using the other. A situation where one or both partners are being harmed in some way just by being together.

 

I'm not necessarily disagreeing with you, just expanding my thoughts.

 

Oh yeah, I didn't mean that mental illness leads to a greater likelihood of unhealthy relationships, so I misunderstood the previous posts. Potentially more challenging, but not unhealthy.

It's funny that you should phrase it quite this way, as David Gaider basically argued the opposite in favor of Alistair. (I'd post some quotes but there is too much content in that thread to bother.)

Well, he was explaining Alistair's feelings, it doesn't mean HoF herself can't feel sickened about the matter.

But there's a bright side about this.... he said Silent Grove never happened with Alistair dead... now if you excuse me, I'm gonna burn all my imports in which that moron is still breathing.

Yes i find death penalty unreasonable,do you have a problem with that?
Alistair have only to deal with my decision and leave while committing a form of betrayal.

But it isn't the death penalty, it is a duel of honor to the death. Anora can kill Alistair for trying to take over the throne that is a death penalty, dueling is not.

David Gaider is hardly what i would define an unbiased source when it come to the character he wrote.
In that thread(whom i already visited) he was the one who was being unreasonable while most of the other users provided a solid base for their arguments.
Because his name is David Gaider that doesn't mean that his opinion is more important and if i recall correctly there were also some contrived posts from Mary Kirby.

Death is not something contemplated by the rules of the landsmeet if i'm not mistaken Bann Alfstanna mentions the rules of the duel according to tradition and she doesn't imply death,is only Alistair that demands later execution.

The relationships all have problems in them because nobody is interested in a story where everyone always does the right thing. If people don't make bad choices and have mistakes to overcome theres no story to tell. I don't feel like the game endorses any of the mistakes the characters make, so I don't see the issue.

 

While there are some distinctions that could be made for a decision that's neither good or bad, I do like the idea of being able to call out people for doing bad things. That's part of why Merrill's DA2 quest resonated with me, because it was such a stupid mistake. In these quests, there really wasn't any of this. Particularly not in that nonsense that was Dorian's quest.
