The refugees and the majority of the population are not soldiers and there is little if nothing that they can do to oppose an Archdemon since they lack resources,they lost their home and don't have any basic military preparation,so unless you are suggesting that they should needlessly butcher themselves against the darkspawns i don't grasp your point.
The only thing any of the Wardens have on those people at the beginning of the story is basic military preparation, if even that, and that's something that's relatively easily acquired. Able-bodied men who stayed at home during times of total war have been considered cowards through every such war in history, and the Warden was potentially conscripted him/herself. In no way does their lack of participation make the Warden owe them his/her life any more than if they'd slit their own throats and been done with it.
Allies were heavily constrained by their own problems and were in no position to help the protagonist.
I wonder if we played the same game at this point.
No they weren't, the Dwarves were perfectly capable of coming to the Wardens' aid if they'd gotten their fingers out and stopped squabbling, Bann Teagan would have been perfectly capable of putting down the undead and committing the knights of Redcliffe to the effort if he hadn't prioritized his brother over the Blight and sent them all on mad quests instead. The Dalish would have been perfectly capable of moving their asses out of werewolf territory and assisting the Wardens if their Keeper hadn't been a stubborn lunatic. The Templars locked the mages up in the Circle Tower with demons instead of doing their jobs, and refuse to assist you in doing it for them. A sizable chunk of the mages themselves try to kill you on sight, the few that remain require you to save them from each other.
Everywhere people make the Warden and his/her party singlehandedly solve their mostly self-induced problems for them without any financial or martial aid whatsoever, despite all being legally bound to help the Wardens without question or complaint. The Warden has every excuse to despise Ferelden's population in general, especially if s/he doesn't have much experience with it before hand. Especially if s/he was already an exile or pariah before Duncan came along.
It's exactly what you did with the list you posted in your previous post.
No it wasn't, I was pointing out reasons for the Warden not to feel like they owe the world anything, having been treated like utter shite by it. Putting something on a pedestal means embellishing on its virtues and pretending it beyond flaw.
If you are specifically referring to the Dark ritual rather than the Warden commander or the Redemption ending i disagree.
The ritual is a gamble for the whole world not just for the people of Ferelden so it isn't a matter of doing the "right thing" but a matter of doing the most safe thing.
That seeming like a gamble or not would depend entirely on whether or not the Warden trusts Morrigan's judgement. And again, passing up a chance to survive the next few weeks isn't something one simply does because it seems like the right thing to do, if that were the case then the world would be a much much better place today. If you want to play characters who prioritize the world's problems over their own life on a gut level then fine. Certainly doesn't make it the only realistic choice.
I read this same contrived supper before.
That she understood it better doesn't mean that she was entitled to steal it not to mention that she never returned the book to the keeper it was the warden who had to pursue her all across the nation to find it.
Also call Mythal a savior while defining the chantry as "manure" just kinda leave your projection as extremely one sided.
"Contrived supper" isn't an expression, and I assume you're referring to our earlier discussion here. It's kind of funny how Morrigan deciding to steal a book is such a big deal for you. She also doesn't steal it because she feels entitled to it, she steals it because it's simply more necessary for her plans than she cares about the elves' offended sensibilities, which makes it less of a deal to some of us because those plans are actually very constructive unlike what the Keeper was using it for.
By the way, I still have a ragged edition of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix that I should have returned to the local library in second grade, a good thirteen years ago. To your mind, does that make me evil?
