Morrigan thread - "Tis cold in my tent, all alone..."

See I never use Sten so he's never in my party.  But that was when Morrigan was still trying to convince herself she wasn't in love with the Warden.  Right before you fight the archdemon I think she says something like "I never expected this to happen." 

That's what I've always been saying.  Flemeth raised her to use men as playthings.  The Warden must've been the first man she developed deep feelings for.  That's why I don't see her cheating on him.  If you look at the clip I posted from Inquistiton were she talks about the Warden.  She still sounds very much in love. 

Gotta show some love for my first DA crush.

Sorry for the very late reply.  I thought I had already replied.  But yes I agree with everything you say.  Morrigan and Leliana are the classic cases of don't judge a book by it's cover.  Morrigan dresses like a slut but isn't.  She is rather timid and shy when in comes to acts of intimacy.  Yes, Morrigan is proud and arrogant but she is inexperienced when it comes to dealing with her own kind.  A good point is when she offers the ring.  Instead of telling you she cares she makes up another reason.  Leliana sweet and innocent on the outside.  But she is/was an assassin and bard and she's probably great in bed.  An ability that I doubt the Chantry teaches.  Both in the end if romanced by the Warden are loyal and still in love with him 10 years later.

To be fair, just because one is a bard doesn't mean one is good at seduction. Each bard has different skills they employ to succeed. For example Josephine used dancing, playing a musical instrument, and polite conversation to succeed when she was a bard according to her writer.

True. I was referring to what Leliana admits about her own history as a bard. I forgot that they don't all employ the same methods.

I know. It's just a reflex since I've had to explain that a few times when people bring up bards while talking about Josie.
But yeah, Leliana talks about how she learned how to appeal to others in that kind of way while as a bard. 
To go back to Morrigan, as I pointed out she expresses that she has been with men physically so she isn't inexperienced either. Maybe not as much as Leliana and certainly not as much as Zevran, but still experienced. I've noticed that Bioware tends to only have one virgin LI in each game (at least DA since ME there are some where it could be argued there are more). In DAO it is Alistair, in DA2 it is Merrill, and in DAI it is Josephine. 

With Merrill, it is never stated but if you look at her backstory it is pretty clear she is, for example she talks about never really having anyone close to her in the clan that she has been in all her life. As for Josephine, Leliana implies it when she has her talk with the Inquisitor saying she is an innocent in love, innocent in that context being a synonym for it. Add stuff like that plus their personality and how they act with the romance and while not stated is pretty clear. The writers for both have also said things that support it.

I never saw anything that suggested Merrill had feelings for Tamlen beyond friendship, especially since in my opinion it was pretty clear Tamlen had feelings for the Dalish Warden. So even if she did have a crush, it was one-sided. It was more she was trying to bring back a friend, especially after the loss of the Dalish Warden by either joining the Wardens or dying. He only shows up late in DAO if you play as a Dalish Warden as a ghoul who was part of the sneak attack on your camp, having some final words with us before he dies. 
Yeah, Josephine and Leliana never had a romantic relationship with each other. Josephine tells the Inquisitor at one point that Leliana is like an older sister to her. It's similar to the sister-like relationship Isabela and Merrill had, with Leliana being Isabela and Josephine being Merrill.
And yes all the DAO romances seem very much in love with the Warden if romanced and are loyal to them. I’m curious what will happen with Morrigan’s relationship since she could have a part to play in DA4.

She had a thing for Mahariel. Not Tamlen.

There is this dialogue among npcs in DA2's Dalish camp: “I know Merrill was fond of Mahariel, but it's been a year. It's not healthy. ”
