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

Tbh,i remember something similar...It seems there was a shoewear shortage after the Fifth Blight



True!Morrigan can blame her Mother for many things,but certainly not for giving birth to such an exquisite specimen of beauty

Personally,i can't and will never ever romance Morrigan with another character except my Cousland,who happens to also be the character of my very first PT.
I went in DA:O with the highest of expectations since it was compared to Bioware's other masterpiece,Baldur's Gate.I tend to get invested ,a lot,when i play an rpg(be it video game or pnp)so my attachment,or identification more likely, with my Warden was bound to happen from the very first moments of the game.Even so,i was caught off guard by the events that would transpire!

Stories about the archetypical knight are pretty much what i grew up with so it was pretty easy for me to pick the noble origin as my first.I had no idea about the enchantingly alluring raven haired witch i was about to meet,but it certainly feels like the story i'd enjoy back then(i mean,i still do).I remember not being able to function properly for a great deal of time after completing the Witch Hunt dlc...

Sometimes i wonder if it weren't for Morrigan,would Dragon Age:Origins be my most treasured game of all time?Should i be ashamed that just for one character,i am picking DA:O over Baldur's Gate,and thus "betraying" my previously most beloved game?Perhaps i should be posting that in the Confessions thread...

I am certainly biased,but i cannot see a romantic connection between Morrigan and any of the other origins.In fact,just the mere thought makes me feel uneasy.I'm generally not a fan of interracial romances in fantasy ,except if they're penned by J.R.RTolkien,so there's that.
HumanxDwarf?Now that's just goofy to me.

Still,had i not played the game and was presented with the choices,and then asked which one seems more fitting,i would pick Cousland every time.It certainly feels the more appealing to me.Knight clad in shining armour aside,there's that additional dynamic of the noble/commoner romance(with the added layer,that Morrigan is not just a simple commoner but an outsider more likely)which is also very much to my liking.

Disclaimer: I think any Origin can work well with any of the romances, given enough thoughtful consideration. My personal favorites for Morrigan are Brosca, Aeducan, Mahariel, and Tabris.

• Tabris - despite her, uh, rather tactless comment during the slavery quest, I like the idea of Tabris with Morrigan for the same reason I like the idea of Tabris with Zevran. Your dad wants you to settle down and get married, and that's essentially what you do with Morrigan..... who is the exact opposite of everything your dad wanted for you. So it's hilariously ironic to me. Also there's an elven connection but not so much that the whole Mythal/ancient elves thing feels like it overshadows the romance.

• Mahariel - obviously a neat connection to the Eluvians, Mythal, etc. Your Warden can even have Mythal's vallaslin which would be, again, hilariously ironic if Morrigan drinks from the Well of Sorrows and becomes bound to Mythal. Meeting "Asha'bellanar" near the start of the game takes on a whole different tone in hindsight. Plus, Mahariel and Morrigan both grew up in the wilderness and probably have similar views of magic and humans. There's also a nice contrast because Mahariel grew up in a close-knit community and was obviously well-loved and Morrigan.... not so much.

• Aeducan - I kind of just like the idea of Kieran having a dwarven half-brother in the form of Mardy and Aeducan's son Duncan/Gorim/Trian/Endrin.

• Brosca - my absolute favorite, I could wax poetic about how beautiful their relationship is. Morrigan even says "you and I have more in common than I thought" when she meets your mother (your mother who, incidentally, also insists no woman would ever want you because you're trash and you'll always be trash). He is strong, a survivor, two things Morrigan is undeniably attracted to. I made a whole sappy post about Brosca/Morrigan family feels ages ago:

My canon (Dragon Age Keep) is a Dalish Elf Rogue but... I can't stand his height so I always make a Cousland Rogue.

Speaking of Kieran,i got reminded of this image:

i was never able to track down the artist unfortunately.

I've headcanoned this a long time ago .

I always had to turn Morrigan down when she insisted i ride together with Kieran though.
Mounting your wife in this context is a bit weird 

Sometimes I feel, she would like to be together with the others.

Of course not for long. This is the point. This is her choice, but still sometimes would be nice just join to the others... To be an outsider is good, but lonely.

Yup,she's a lonely wolf(she literally can be one )though i think we both would agree that while Morrigan could be fond of the friendly atmosphere,that does not necessarily mean she's fond of the people that constitute it.

She can perhaps be energized by the positive vibe of her fellow companions(every human being is in need of some occasional socialiazation and camaraderie,even the most independent ones),but we're well aware that she does not get well with the crushing majority.

Of course,if it weren't for the others,whom would she share her sarcastic remarks and comments with?


Since we're talking about Morrigan,i've seen this  phrase some time ago about being with an independent woman(or man,if you modify it ofc)."She surely doesn't need me,but she sure as hell wants me!"which  totally reasonates with me and my wife! Purrfect!
