A few codex entries, notably from the dwarves (which constantly battle the darkspawn and typically believe the darkspawn just appeared underground one day instead of being an ancient curse from evil magisters), imply that should the Old Gods die out the darkspawn will have nowhere to go but up. Some scoff at the idea that the surface thinks its safe just because the darkspawn are not crawling out when Orzamaar has to deal with them practically every day. They believe that when the day comes, the surface will deal with a blight that will never end. Basically the question lies less with the Old Gods dying and more with how the darkspawn will act once they are gone. From what we can tell, it is the broodmothers and the taint from which the darkspawn arise, not the Old Gods. Meaning that when they are gone, the darkspawn will still remain, only this time they will no longer obsess over trying to reach the Old Gods. it is true that the darkspawn hold little organizational ability without an Old God to lead them but they don't have to, a mindless hoard can still do damage. And we have already seen how some darkspawn (the Mother and her darkspawn followers) react from being taken away from he Old God's song... First you are assuming that the old gods are the source of the calling rather than their prisons second you are assuming that all the darkspawns are influnced by the calling to the point where they decide to remain underground,while in DAI it seem that the more you are close to the old god the more the song become intense which imply that distance influnce the calling and since 5 old god are dead there is no reason to believe these beasts are keeping darkspawn underground. Solas and Flemeth are not reliable source of knowledge since they are patological liars. Just like you assume things will be better with the old gods gone, no? Or how you imply the calling is coming form the prisons? Assumption can be a two-way street. But you should notice that none of those were actual factual statements (hence words like "imply" or "from what we can tell") on my part, that was mostly just a summarizing of points found within codex entries and in-game hints. None of which were from Flemeth of Solas. These were codex entries from primarily the dwarves and wardens, plus some stuff from the Architect. The only hypothesis I run on is that perhaps killing the old gods will have very dangerous consequences.

The only hypothesis I run on is that perhaps killing the old gods will have very dangerous consequences. Killing old gods is only beneficial under the evidence that in Thedas nothing is getting worse with the darkspawns after the death of the majority of them , this is more of an evidence than all these hypotesis which are just words of characters not supported by any rational argument.Nothing is getting worse because I wiped out the false god of beauty on the contrary it seem to me that Thedas is more safe without it.

Eh. As far as i'm concerned, so long as there is even one source of the calling below ground, the effect of any one archedemon being slain is not what I am concerned about. There is no doubt killing the immediate problem is good. But it's when they are all gone, not just most of them, that I begin to get concerned. But I suppose that is for a different thread. Most of them loaded with points of their own.

Most of them loaded with points of their own. That isn't a rational argument,ignoring the fact that things have not changed after the removal of 5 old gods in 1200 years of time just because there is still a minority of them underground is making the ultra assumption that quantity is a non factor. The Old gods are biological beings,their existence have nothing to do with the geological stability of Thedas,they are just an issue when they become AD,no old gods means no AD that's the only fact,everything else is just speculation without any evidence.
