To each his own. While Morrigan isn't exactly a "battered woman," there are those in real life who are psychologically damaged by abusive relationships. They don't exactly need "fixing" by a decent guy, but they're not going to be as happy-go-lucky, fawning over you like Leliana either.
Sadly, I think you may actually be more shallow and callous than Morrigan. If you think about it, you're acting just like her. Morrigan has never been shown any sort of kindness, so you are just happy to let her rot and die. How is that any different from her disinterest in trying to save a pretty worthless barmaid or a pair of orphans who will
most likely just end up in a worse situation anyway. You can't exactly adopt them yourself, and they'll probably just get eaten by darkspawn on the way to wherever you send them.
Morrigan needs your help. She may not exactly be locked in a dungeon, but she does need to be saved. (Saved from the poison fed to her by Flemeth)
You have to be kidding me. You are now personally attacking me because I do not like your pixel love interest.
Personally attacking you? I call it like I see it. You were acting very shallow and callous, which you even admitted. You need to grow a thicker skin. In any case, I actually went with Leliana, but nice try. Morrigan is for later, when I don't go the "goody two shoes" route. I actually prefer the conversation Morrigan has with you if she just considers you her friend. It's much more satisfying, and actually shows that she does have a soul. Perhaps you're just too interested in getting in virtual bed with the NPCs to follow the friend path.
In some instances, you are correct, I AM more shallow and callous than Morrigan because I would rather just not deal with an emotionally unstable and self professed manipulative person like her. No, I do not
wish for her to rot and die (where did you see me say that?) She IS only a highly flawed character in a game though, so her emotions do not mean that much to me. If she were real, preferrably, she could get
some help from someone far more qualified in the psychology field than you or I because she would most likely get more screwed up than she was before either of us did our little faux psychological help.
If you're just going to treat all of the characters as "just characters in a video game," then why are you playing an RPG? The point of an RPG is to immerse yourself in the world as though you are really there, interacting with "real" people.
Who's to say she is not manipulating you to "think" she is turning a corner anyway?
I am, and so are the developers. Her responses make no sense if she's just being manipulative. Besides, depending on your choices, you actually do change the characters. Take Anora for example...
Trying to help out Redcliff, is not a waste of time nor resources, you need it for support later in the game. Sten I could understand because he is just anxious to kill darkspawn, Morrigan on the other hand KNOWS why
you are there and KNOWS you are trying to do something important for the future. I am sure she understands you need to collect the leaves before you can boil the brew.
Trying to help out Redcliff is a danger that is too risky for the last two remaining Grey Wardens in Ferelden. Morrigan sees the battle as a lost cause, and rightly considers the best course of action to be going straight for Loghain. She does have a good point, just as Sten does later.
Helping out those who can not help themselves is better than not doing anything, no matter if
"something" might happen to them later. Guess what, if that were the case, we might as well not worry about stopping the Archdemon, because, geeze something bad might happen anyway.
You're not doing nothing. You're stopping the blight. Picking flowers and coddling orphans does not help the archdemon die. Should we stop along the way to spend a few days with Habitat for Humanity? I mean, people need houses in Ferelden too...
Really, the character is great, I am quite happy that they made a person that could get you
so emotionally invested. I hope you continue to enjoy your digital romance with her. She is not someone for me, she is for people like you. Just to warn you off, I am not infatuated with Leliana either.
This is not an either/or situation. I am on no "team". Well, I wouldn't have minded Isabella being a companion, or Wynne to lose a few (a lot of) years.
None of my responses were about romance. Again, your closed-mindedness has blinded you to the possibility of anyone defending Morrigan as a virtual "friend" instead of a love interest.

Hehe. EJ got burnt.
Congratulations on being so weak-minded that you have to rely on others to "win" the Internet for you. If you have something meaningful to say, then speak for yourself.
