We've all had them while roleplaying. You think one way and your hero thinks another. So what is the hardest decision you made while roleplaying even though you yourself disagreed with your Wardens actions. For me it was killing Loghain. I'm a firm believer that Loghain should be put to use before his death and make him a GW prolonging his life but not for long.

 

My canon City Elf Warden disagreed. He had seen what Loghain was willing to do to his people. He saw how his cousin was tortured in Howe's dungeon. How he enabled Howe to purge the alienage. How he sold those left into slavery. He saw how Loghain had weakened Ferelden against the Blight and set back his quest. He agreed with Loghain's actions at Ostagar but with all of Loghain's other actions that had an effect on his family he couldn't think of sparing Loghain. Loghain was executed

For me it was killing Connor. I roleplayed a dwarf so the warden took the mantle of not understanding magic and the fear of possession very seriously and yet this was the death of a child, not something to take lightly. Personally I was upset but I wanted to explore that part of the game as well. I was even more upset when Alistair confronted my warden back at camp. That was unexpected when I hit it that first time and really made me gain a deeper appreciation of the game.

I think one of them well enough to death penalty: he has been sold their own people into slavery. Of course: do not to execute/kill anyone is not too big sin, but he  has done much to deserve death. My wardens often executed him, their own hand, or asked Alistair for it.

Actually there were three. I always roleplay, so it took me a long time to come up with a character that would destroy the Ashes, bargain with a demon for blood magic and sleep with Cammen.

 

Horrible, nasty character that I stopped playing as soon as she finished the last one. Never again :shudders:

I couldn't think of any but I like to punch out Lady Insolde so there's the consequence for that.

 

 

 

 

There's also the cat fight at Shales that I mess up a lot.

My canon City Elf felt the same way, except I feel that way too. As far as I'm concerned Loghain deserves to be executed in disgrace and die hated and forgotten. He dug his own grave.

So far, the hardest decision is the one to recruit Loghain.  No matter the origin, Alistair is a trusted friend.  Going through with this means losing a close, trusted friend to gain the services of someone who has spent most of the game trying to eliminate the last of the GWs.  I haven't been able to go through with it...

 

After that, opting to kill Connor or Isolde in order to take down the demon destroying Redcliffe.  I did the first by accident once and felt dirty about it afterwards.   Both can be justified since you really don't know for sure that Connor won't be able to send more undead after Redcliffe if you opt to enlist the aid of the Circle.  OTOH, given how many companions you have, you should be able to leave behind some to keep possessed Connor in check while going to the tower.

 

Also, what decision could be harder than DR versus US?

In my first finished game I didn't trust Morrigan so it was an easy decision to do the US but after that I usually did the dark ritual because I liked the idea of having an old gold baby in future installments but that that didn't happen.

ha ha I use to always switch Morrigan into better robes.  I'm a rebel like that. 

 

 

 

It was a robe that still looked pretty good.

The only decision I had serious trouble with that I nonetheless went through with was Annulling the Circle. It was harder due to the fact that I'd saved Irving, which meant that I knew the situation was entirely under control, and yet I sacrificed him anyway because I wanted to have a PC who'd done that. Also not helping was the fact that I was playing mage. The cherry on top was my character's hypocrisy in that he said "if you let even one blood mage escape you'll regret it" despite being a blood mage who'd taught Wynne blood magic.

 

Two runners up were killing the Lady of the Forest for Zathrian (which I did on my second Dalish playthrough) and sacrificing Alistair to save that same jackass mage PC, but by then I'd gotten the truly hard one where I Annulled the Circle out of the way. That hardened me a bit.

 

One decision I've never been able to go through with is abandoning Redcliffe. Even the Chaotic Evil mage who Annulled the Circle, told Connor's demon to come back later, saved the Anvil, massacred the Dalish, defiled the Ashes, threatened his girlfriend into going along with defiling the Ashes, sacrificed the elves, let Alistair sacrifice himself on Fort Drakon, handed Anders over to Rylock, and burned Amaranthine didn't do that. And since I didn't do it that time, it was harder to do it afterwards even when I was playing characters almost as evil.

Oh God I forgot about Zathrian. The same Warden I mentioned before killed Witherfang because didn't think Zathrian was going to end the curse and as a result thought he had to kill the werewolves to get any support against the Blight. He then killed Zathrian after discovering Lanaya could use the heart

If I remember correctly, in my first playthrough I accidentally killed every mage in the Circle since I didn't know what was going on and told Cullen that I wouldn't risk letting blood mages go. Before killing mages Wynne turned on me and I had to kill her too. Then I went to Redcliffe and of course getting help from the Circle wasn't an option anymore so I had to kill Connor too. It was a very uncomfortable experience. I didn't finish that playthrough and deleted it. That was my worst playthrough with hardest decisions...

For myself, the toughest choice is always leaving Harrowmont on the throne simply because meta-game knowledge indicates that he is killed soon afterwards, and the Dwarves are in chaos again. But leaving Bhelen on the floor of the Assembly is as simple a choice as choosing a side dish to go with roasted Nug.

Thankfully my Army  background taught me you kill baddies and help where you can so, the hardest was killing Conner in my first three games because I dreaded the fade..
