I've just met Ruck and I'd like to tell his mother the truth about his condition.

Thing is, when Danyla asked the Warden to tell Athras she is dead I agreed to do it. So for the sake of consistency, I will also have to lie as Ruck wants.

I simply can't think of a reason why the two cases are any different. And I wish I could, because my Warden usually is a blunt person that doesn't sugarcoat anything.

Danyla is dead unless you ran away from her.  

[Qun00]

That's true. What about it?

Danyla is dead; telling her husband she died of the curse while leaving out the detail that she turned into a werewolf seems like a minor lie at worse.  (Her "suicide by Warden" is most annoying.)

 

Ruck's case is more complicated.  You promise his mother that you will find out what happened to him to give her some closure.  Ruck makes you promise to tell her that he's dead.  Here, it's a matter of who to lie to and you can justify it either way.  I'm inclined to tell Frida the truth.  Ruck leads a sad, lonely existence.  You can't help but think he will regret the promise he forces the warden to make ten minutes after you leave.   Also, you make your promise to Frida first under no duress.  You make the promise to Ruck for fear you will have to kill him if you don't.

Telling her husband, she's dead isn't a lie.  Leaving out some details is merely being tactful.

The tricky part is that Danyla asks you to promise to lie to him before her request for a mercy kill is made.

The Dragon Age Keep seems to indicate that Athras knows about the whole werewolf business.

 

"Athras took the news of his wife's turning poorly, but he knew the truth."

 

 

Anyway, like real people, your character can be hypocritical to their own ideals at times.

And how would it help Frida to tell her that her son is alive, may I ask?

Aww screw it, no amount of mental gymnastics will solve this. The two cases are exactly the same and it makes no sense to treat them differently.

I'll reload the save file from before Nature of the Beast. It's about 10 hours ago, but I have no choice.
