He was only an obstacle for me so his death was beneficial,not to mention that even if he was a friend i would have still sacrificed him to kill an old god rather than give it to a witch of the wilds which had no qualms at wanting people dead for petty reasons.
The point is simply that if one were in the Warden's position, and actually cared about Alistair, it would be understandable to take the risk if it meant both s/he and his/her friend have a chance to both make it out alive.
Is not as if i have any reason to trust two psychopaths like Morrigan and Flemeth not to mention Urthemiel himself god among slaves, they are all totally trustworthy and benign.Morrigan herself in DAO is very malign.
I never said anything about the Warden absolutely trusting Morrigan or Flemeth. The point here is that my character can take it on faith. From the perspective of this character, the Dark Ritual is an opportunity to both see the world rebuild after the Blight, as well as having a chance to keep her friend around a bit longer. I don't see why this would be unreasonable. If others consider the more final route to be the best one, then good on them, but it's not the only viable option.
"It all comes down to whether you trust Morrigan or not" is such a terrible argument.
Would you jump from a bridge if your bestest friend in the whole wide world told you to do it?
Trouble with that comparison is that it lacks context. What incentive would one have to jump off a bridge in the first place? It's not as if Morrigan is offering the Dark Ritual because it's fun. The motivating factor for the Warden is entirely the idea that doing it may potentially save whichever Warden performs the killer blow while still ending the Blight. Even if the character doesn't trust Morrigan entirely (or at all), that's a mighty big opportunity in the face of 100% certainty of death, for either the Warden or an ally s/he may consider to be important.
The accuracy of the analogy is irrelevant.
Only a fool makes decisions based on how much you trust someone. Concrete information always comes first.
Actually, the accuracy of an analogy is kind of important, provided the point was to get some sort of point across. In any case, this "concrete evidence" stuff is clearly a red herring. Like, where would you go to reference this? How would you explore this matter in-depth to find texts that explain anything like what Morrigan is on about? Who else could you go ask? And, more importantly, where would the Warden find the time to do any of this? And that's really the thing: time is of the essence. To go back to the tricky analogy, the Warden and whichever ally accompanies him/her may already be going over a bridge, and may be going over it very soon, since one has to trust Riordan when he says that it must be a Warden to strike the killing blow, and that Warden will most certainly die. If someone is claiming that there's a way to put a safety net between them and the bottom, I don't see why it's not worth consideration.
