Yeah, I noticed that too. Even with my HNF where there was no romance, I was able to get her to 100 approval (Friendly). Morrigan did open up with some very nice dialogue showing a vulnerability and sensitivity you don't normally see. In the final dialogue before the big battle with the ArchDemon, she was practically in tears saying goodbye. I actually felt sorry for her . . . and more determined to track her down.
If you have sex with her (you need low approval and do it early on) and romance no one else, she does mention about when she met you and blah blah blah and you can tell that she does care for you romantically.

I realized that I spend 60+ hours so I can be a tool for Flemeth and her daughter. My character gets to live, yay... but he hasn't got any dignity left. I so wanted to destroy my PC that moment.
My next character went for the Ultimate sacrifice and since then I never looked back.
The Morrigan romance ending is a real kick to the teeth. I found it insulting after spending so much time and effort. I take roleplaying a bit serious sometimes but that's just me .

My PC is female. It is not possible for us to have sex. Morrigan doesn't go *that* way even though my char does have a romance with Leliana.
One of the dialogues I got into Morrigan with was quite interesting. She mentioned how "shameful" it was that me and "that girl" were involved in a relationship and what I could possibly see in her. And there must be some "extra reward" to being with her. I answered "yes, there certainly is" to which Morrigan stammered a bit "I - I see." I found that quite amusing. I should have chosen the option "Feeling jealous?" but didn't want to tick her off since I already knew Morrigan doesn't like girls (in that way).

Not sure I understand. Are you upset that Morrigan left you, or that she used you to get what she wanted? In the latter case, depending on the dialogue thread you travel, she say she is grateful for the friendship and a bit remorseful that she has to leave despite you rejecting the ritual.
Well, however you feel is right. Morrigan seems to be the type of character players either love or hate.

My character was upset that she would ask him to do something she knew he would vehemently oppose... and than threatened to ask Loghain... my character wasn't about to send her to another man so he relented and he sired the anti-maker or whatever that 'thing' will end up being. Anyways... in II he is going to do his best to find her... he never promised not to... and he turned down the favor from the queen, offers of adventure from his companions, and any 'compensation' so he could devote himself to finding her again. Jack (dog) found a nice dead rat to give Morrigan when they find her (reference to a conversation she has with the dog).

if you feel bad about that, never play Divinity 2:Ego Draconis, it will make you want to jump off a 10 story building

If I was reading a book or watching a movie then I'd definitely hate her. From a roleplaying perspective, however, I wouldn't say that. My character is dissapointed in her. He's a broken man with no dignity, but I wouldn't imagine him hating her.Helios969 wrote...

If she doesn't want commitment then fine, no relationship is perfect and I'm certainly not forcing her to stay. But saying straight to your face that "I'm leaving you because I have no further use for you" is a direct kick to the balls.
And she even had the nerve to suggest Alistair as the alternative. I was really frustrated at first but after going through that part with different characters I realized that the same dialogue occurs no matter what, so I don't blame Morrigan, I blame the writers for making my Warden play completely out of character and making him look like an idiot. It just happens to be a plot-device. For any other type of playthrough I would consider it a brilliant twist, but for the current one I wouldn't say the same. It was insulting.
So basically what I'm trying to say is that If anyone deserves sympathy, that is my character and not Morrigan.

I'll track her down, and when I do. I'll kill that demon spawn child, then we can work on a normal child instead.

If you have high approval as a friend..not a lover with Morrigan and you are female..she tends to think of you as a sister. Morrigan shows vulnerability if you trigger the right chatter with her.
Thats why I don't understand all the hate toward her. hehe
She doesn't know about friendship when you first meet her. Her mother taught her that beauty and love/romance are fleeting and the only thing that really counts is POWER and survival.
She has nothing to base anything off of..because she's been cooped up all her life with Flemeth's way of thinking.
Anything she learns about loyalty, friendship..comes from you the PC. I sometimes think that people need to pay more attention to Morrigan ..what she's saying and facial expressions that go with it.
For instance if you talk about your mother, and state that you loved your mother, she gets this wistful sad expression that...pretty much lets you know that she wishes she had..had the same type of relationship with her mother. But that was denied to her, due to Flemeth and how she is.

Yeah
Whatever the character she basicly say the same stuff..
The only difference if you don't accept .. some dialogue option change .. Or when you accept .. The dialogue change.(Depending of your friendship status)
But for the most part.It's the same coldness .. Even if you have - 100 approval
The worst .. If you accept the ritual to be done by allistair and you romance Morrigan.She has sex with allistair in your BED.
THAT GROSS.

Wait, you predicted before the final battle that Morrigan would ask to be impregnated so your character could survive, and then leave? That would be very impressive. I had no clue being so engrossed in the story. Even after playing it through six times I haven't observed enough foreshadowing to indicate that she would leave. That she had a hidden agenda, yes. The leaving part, no.

No, Morrigan tells Alistair they need to go some place more private.

You don't like her and you're going to kill her baby, but you think she will then want to have a child with you. Charming. What is it that Morrigan says? "A man is always willing to believe two things about a woman..."Dave of Canada wrote...

IMO, while Morrigan is a fairly complex and layered character in terms of how she interacts with YOUR character, the writers didn't put enough thought into how she should react to the world around her. More often than not, they simply went the easy way out, it seems, and took advantage of any opportunity to insert puppy-kicking dialog by giving it to Morrigan.

Viconia was Chaotic Evil ... Morrigan, if I were to give her a D & D alignment ... is pretty much True Neutral. If you examine her responses, it's not that she wants to harm or hurt people, but she doesn't see much point in pointless do-goodery. She hates the Chantry, templars, etc. for their self-righteousness and foolish zealotry and clear lust for power (over mages) ... not because she's evil.
I believe her mother Flemeth is evil ... although that's hard to say. I admit being caught by surprise on my first playthrough when I found Flemeth's grimoire for Morrigan. How horrible, a being that "consumes" her children to become immortal. My initial reaction to Flemeth was she was a bit Mommy Dearest but that she wasn't a dark figure ... just misunderstood ... I mean, after all, it is HER idea for you to use the treaties, raise the army, and win the game! Does she give you the plan to defeat the Darkspawn and Archdemon just because she thinks they're a bigger threat, or is that a hint of ... goodness?
And the ending where you don't kill her is a bit ... curious. She suggests she might come later for Morrigan ... or might not. (And no, there is no game ending where she does). Perhaps she's become tired of this continual immortality at the expense of her own children. Sort of like Zathrian's "redemption" moment. Enough immortality at the expense of others. Or ... she will be back?
And yes, I know there are people who think either
a) Morrigan's decision to have a child with you is so she can "do the Flemeth" with it
and
I guess we'll find out.

This made me so furious I had to start a new playthrough. And Shame on the writers for not giving you a dialogue option along the lines of "I'd rather die than never see you again." All that work and time and conversations and finally getting her to open up and she walks out.....Rage inducing...
They do. During the dark ritual talks. When she mentions that she'll leave you can choose a conversation option that's something along the lines of "So I die or never see you again? I don't see the difference." Something cheesy like that.
Then she gets all sad faced, and I THINK she stammers, but it's been awhile. My closest save to that is at Andraste's Ashes, and I don't remember if that was even my last 'first half' quest, so I can't exactly go back and check the specifics unfortunately, or I'd post up some screens.
