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

To be honest, I've no idea how that has come to pass. Did I miss a comic or something? She does not really explain it in DAI, does she? I guess she's looking for something hidden in orlesian vaults or does she believe that Celene's protection is truly safer than being somewhere else? (Especially with Gaspard knocking at the doors...)

Ok, yes. I forgot this other ancient guy. Next guess: She is really annoyed by (older?) people telling her what to do, in general. Thanks to Flemeth? I don't know.


We only find out that Mythal and Flemeth (the personal connection for Morrigan here) are fused after someone takes the Well, if I recall right.

If mentioning it for the umteenth time apparently annoys you so much, why do you do it then? You appear to solely focus on the aspect of containing magic, because "else apocalypse" in those cultures. Would you absolve them of all their other flaws just because of this single perceived advantage? Yes, I'm not fond of neither the Qun nor Andrastianism, and it is not just because they oppress "the mages". They oppress anybody to a certain extent and their dogma basically calls them to either convert or kill anybody else. I doubt it is less likely to happen than the magic apocalypse you insist is pretty much inevitable. The Qun is pretty well equipped to pull off "cultural apocalypse", and the Chantry has centuries of experience and a pretty good track record in terms of "cultural genocide". Does all that not matter if they apparently prevent a magic apocalypse?

No single modern mage (or handful, if you wish) has access to the amount of power or resources to pull something like that off again. The Magisters Sidereal were idiotic zealots in my view, chasing some vague "divine" promise, like some other pretty dominant religions. We don't  know what exactly Solas wanted to prevent by creating the veil. He claims that the Evanuris "would have destroyed the world", but that's it. I'll wait until I know more before making my "final" judgement. Besides, why should andrastians (or humans in general) complain about Solas destroying the ancient elven civilisation? Didn't that allow them humans to become dominating race in the first place?


I'd say scared and cautions are to different things. Anyway, there's also the time factor set up by the game. The "Vessels" (Calpernia or Samson) are gone at this point in one way or the other if I remember right, but Corypheus is still on their heels and they need that McGuffin. Or at least they think so.

As you said, she does not look as far. You claim to do, she does not. Perhaps she also does not care about the "everyones" except for Kieran and the Warden, if he's the father. Alistair or Loghain probably not so much.


Believe it or not, I'm somewhat puzzled. Most other players who defended apparent "necessary necessities" in terms of magic as staunchly as you appeared to do seem to have a burning hatred for everything that just smells "irresponsible mage".


The issue with "caution" is magnitude. I would not even argue in case of some "ancient things". My first First Lavellan left the Well alone, as despite her wearing friggin' Mythal Vallaslin (and refusing Solas' offer to have it removed) and being all about keeping elven stuff away from humans who would most surely abuse or destroy it, she was pretty deterred by Abelas' disclosure and the Sentinels' "we are betters" attitude in general. So she grudginly left it to the shemlen mage who went on an unsolicited "explanation rant" before, telling the stories that my Dalish knew since age five and has been telling since reaching adulthood herself.


Is the intended meaning of "man" in this context is "human" (race) or people in general? I get lost with those two at times, especially in fantasy context. I just disagree with the possible notion of this being a "dead-ringer argument" for circles or whatever. People are awfully selective in this debate, myself included.
