I almost clicked lust, but then I saw sloth. It defines and plagues my life.

I wonder if demons existed before the Veil and how did the Ancient Elves handle them.

I can see why gamers might associate most closely with sloth, but I don't think sloth could invest thousands of hours into gaming...or read hundreds of codex entries. Are one of these associated with selfishness? (As in selfish with our time). Greed, perhaps.
I'd probably find it more interesting to know what peoples' answers would be for the 7 virtues: Faith, Hope, Charity, Fortitude, Justice, Prudence, & Temperance (which I'd assume are all spirits in the DA universe).

Well the Dalish teach that all spirits are dangerous and don't really make a distinction between the two, which could reflect something of ancient beliefs about spirits, except the ancient elves clearly saw them as friends and guides. The Forbidden Ones have been encountered as demons and Elgar'nan originally banished them for cowardice in the face of the enemy but that still seems to show a close relationship between the ancient elves and these entities if he felt he had a right to condemn them.
Let's not rule out that the ancient elves were originally spirits that became more material (like Cole) and continued to interact with those who did not. The spirits of the Fade are referred to as "our brethren of the air", so there has to be a close relationship between them. I'm convinced that the Evanuris were originally powerful nature spirits that gradually became more material: Sun (Elgar'nan); Water (Mythal); Earth (Andruil); Shadow/Darkness (Falon'Din), together with other concept spirits such as Knowledge/Wisdom (Dirthamen) and Creation/Invention (June). Ghilan'nain was a late arrival on the god scene, having originally been a servant of Andruil. Having achieved godhood herself, she encouraged a follower of Dirthamen to try for the same. Was this one of the Forgotten Ones or could it have been Solas, whose punishment for "daring to fly in the form of the Divine" was to be bound to the service of Mythal?
The Evanuris also refer to Fen'Harel knowing "much of the people and their spirits", so may be there was a much closer relationship between elves and spirits. May be every ordinary elf had a corresponding spirit in the Fade, the link to which gave them their immortality and magic and that is why the Veil removed both from the majority of them. Alternatively, simply being cut off from the Fade made the ancient elves more material and thus less magical. In DAO it is said, even before we find out the truth about Zathrian, that the reason he is so long lived is that possibly he is more spirit than the other elves. Then we discover the reason for his longevity is that he does have a direct link with an ancient spirit, so again there seems the possibility of him having accidentally uncovered an ancient truth about the relationship of elves and spirits there.

I wonder if demons existed before the Veil and how did the Ancient Elves handle them. they did and depends on the demons i guess. the forbidden ones (gaxkang, imshael, xebenkeck and the formless one) were cast into the void by the evenuris (the elven gods). a codex in the shattered library reffer to "xebenkeck and others of her ilk" which i assume means the rest of the forbidden ones, but it could be they meant demons in general. it is important to take into concideration that a lot of spirits turn into demons when pulled into the real world without their desire, so not every demon we encounter would have been one if there was no veil.

Fond of riddles and sleeping so sloth. Sloth was awesome in Origins! On another note, this seemed incomplete. We are only voting on demons, not the spirit half of them and Despair is missing - witch sadly would be the one I would be most entitled to vote for. They are also a B.... to kill.

I guess it would have to be fortitude for me. I don't like seeing others suffer, and would rather take the pain for them. Plus, I've dated a bully or two, who thought they could smack a small woman around. My right fist set them straight!

Keep on Keeping on is sort of a personal mantra.

I've been thinking. And Sloth doesn't have to necessarily mean laziness of the body. Take Famine or hunger: People hunger for lots of things: Food. Booze. Drugs, sex, affection, attention. List goes on. With regards to hunger: I eat very little and would stop entirely if I could find a way to survive without food. What I HUNGER for, is knowledge and learning.

The cardinal sins are all *basically* the same sin with different focuses; an unhealthy fixation on a specific activity or emotion to the detriment over all else. Start picking it apart too much and you end up with the Buddhist maxim of 'try not to want anything' XD
