I don't think there is much of a reason beyond limited budget and such for the Warden, mage or otherwise using the murder knife on Morrigan. In the PAX chats Gaider was asked if the murder knife is returning and it isn't in DA2- I think they'll use more class specific implements when the time calls for murder. And really, RP wise, I'd think quickly shivving Morrigan is the quickest way to go if you're set on killing her as she wouldn't have time to react.Gilsa wrote...
If you want a RP reason for a mage to use a knife then I would say that it's mainly to catch Morrigan off-guard since she'd be expecting magic. Doesn't it take some time to cast a lethal spell?
But the whole notion that Morrigan asks permission to go seems a bit of a stretch, especially doing so with a hostile Warden. For someone who values survival so much, it seems awfully contrived for her to let her guard down that much. Then again, going by her shocked expression she no doubt feels betrayed at getting stabbed- but that only makes sense if you haven't telegraphed your intentions to her in that conversation I guess.
Maybe not epilogue slides, but just something more I guess. Like the ending cinematic from Throne of Bhaal with the voice over. Something that has a bit more polish and production values than simply fading to black and the credits. Some sort of dénouement is all.Terra_Ex wrote...
I don't think epilogue slides are necessary here, all wardens get warned of something big on the horizon, provided you listen to what she has to say you're given "something" that presumably has some significance to your continued survival. Or it's a remnant of something that got cut, which would be disappointing to say the least.
I really hope they get the Baldur's Gate narrator guy for DA2!
Its especially bad I thought in ME2- your Shep could be a survivor of Akuze and have all sorts of mental baggage even beyond being a freakin' Cerberus cyborg, but does anyone ask how you're doing? Nope, they just **** and moan about how you need to help them with their problems. Seriously- get your own freakin' groceries., Cook.Terra_Ex wrote...
You know, that's a excellent point, the NPCs actually questioning you in any meaningful manner is something of a rarity so the 180 presented here is another point in its favour.
Yeah, whatever is brewing Morrigan seems to be the only one with a clue. So is it really wise to kill or otherwise ****** off the only person with any knowledge of what Flemeth, some sort of super being, has planned for all of Thedas?Terra_Ex wrote...
As I see (and the warden) it, Morrigan is probably the only person I can picture truly managing to take Flemeth down, I honestly don't believe any of the central protagonists will be afforded that opportunity. The grey warden tried to and failed, Ariane mentions Flemeth in their opening conversation so he/she has adequate information to discern that she's up to something and has presumably tried to use the warden, morrigan and others as pawns in whatever she's orchestrating. Attempting to off the one person who has some insight on Flemeth just because Morrigan won't divulge all her plans to you, why it's downright myopic.
True- although, depending on the timeline it might not even be 10 years. If you figure DA2 takes place over 10 years, that starts at Lothering at the beginning of DAO. Figure that DAO lasts about 1 year, plus to the end of Awakening thats maybe 6 months then Witch Hunt is one year post Origins. So by the time you enter the portal or walk away from the Eluvian, thats already 2 years post Lothering, so it would conceivably only be about 8 years until the events in DA2 are over.Terra_Ex wrote...
10 years of preparation is my guess. And presumably it has something to do with taking down Flemeth, or usurping her.
I could speculate on Morrigan's whole "change" speech, but maybe I'll hold that novel for tomorrow.
That, combined with her reference to the Orlesian that Flemeth may have had a larger role in the Blight than he realized or that FLemeth isn't even human makes me wonder if perhaps Flemeth has a much larger role in the Blight and perhaps some connection to the original darkspawn as a Tevinter magister.Terra_Ex wrote...
I hope this is implying an increased Grey Warden presence when the Morri/Flemeth subplot eventually explodes, since she references the wardens specifically it almost certainly involves the darkspawn.
Especially after you chat with Avernus, I always hoped they'd explore the Taint more thoroughly. It reminds me of the Bhaalspawn essence and how you could turn into the Ravager in BG2 sort of. And I think Avernus mentions that the secrets of theTaint lie with the Black City....
I wish that at least for the romancing Warden or a friendly one, Morrigan would have given some more substantial answers. I mean, why is Morrigan so reluctant to give answers yet she is willing to let the Warden follow her into the mirror, where presumably he'd find out answers anyway? Wouldn't it be best to give him a quick primer before going through the mirror?Gilsa wrote...
I was willing to accept that Morrigan wouldn't tell my non-DR warden anything because I thought that was a consequence of trust being broken, but when I ran my romanced-Morrigan warden through and my Orlesian warden through and found that the answers were pretty much the same, it really made the whole DLC cheap. I was glad that I had a warden that romanced her so I got *something* out of it at least.
Unless Morrigan's plans involve something she fears the Warden may find objectionable or suitably shocking? Maybe not even something nefarious or evil, but something in her plans that may bring harm or risk to her well being which a romancing Warden might object to? After all, I'm wondering- Morrigan is all about survival and power, but to what end? For herself or simply for her plan and the potential Old God baby? Maybe she only seeks power and survival such that her plans can succeed, but she knows that in achieving her plan's success it may kill her or otherwise jeopardize her life, something a romancing Warden might object to? Maybe thats why she doesn't want the Warden to follow, knowing her eventual fate will only cause the Warden more grief and heartache?

Retour en haut
). True, we can all agree that Morrigan's hints are mostly promotional teasers for Dragon Age 2, but I think she could have spilt a little more of her plans, AT LEAST so we can know if she's a clear enemy of Flemeth or still being forced to do her dirty work (and if it is clear to others, I apologize but I didn't see a clear answer to this when I watched the proper ending youtube clip).
