Richella River But didn’t Flemeth do it out of principle too? She wanted Morrigan to „earn“ what she sought. She said something about „I wouldn’t have it any other way“ before she transformed into her dragon form. She could’ve just vanished or something but nooo
@@mithrandirsilvertongue1406 it's not just elves, he defends the mages in the circle the same way. Though they probably are disproportionately elves, come to think of it.
Zev’s first comment here to my main grey warden always bothered me. I play her as a moral person who wants to help everyone. She spared his life, freed sten, recused the mages in the tower, ended the werewolf curse. Does he really think that she consider to let people get sold into slavery? Especially when she’s an city elf who’s dad is in one of the cages.
Morrigan is truly the darkest one in the group. xD Yes, murder all the elves for a tiny bit of power... It isn't worth it in my opinion anyway. I never accept his offer. I always kill him. I hate slavers.
merdziiikaa Please keep in mind who raised her to believe that. Flemeth taught her that the only thing in life that matters is power. Morrigan was never taught to love anything beyond herself or to care about friends and family.
In this instance, I'd actually say Wynne takes the cake because of her reaction. In every other instance of DAO, any time you are caught using blood magic during cutscenes and she is in the party, it always ends up with her fighting against you. But for this scene, she only gives a -40 disapproval. I mean, this would be a massive blood ritual involving lots of people but she doesn't really seem to care because they're all a bunch of elvesinstead of humans.
Man...it's so funny that he makes that offer AFTER you kick his ass. Like, if we weren't willing to accept the deal he made, why would we accept an even MORE evil choice? Dude's not too smart at all.
fjlsfljsalfkjasdflka The thing is, a fight starts if you try and fail to intimidate him into a better deal for your side too. So usually you were trying to deal, and now he's realizing his mistake and trying to sweeten the deal to walk out alive.
RIGHT?! It's like: Let me take these elves and sell them into slavery? No? Then I'll do one better, I'll KILL all these elves to do a Blood Magic ritual for you! He should have worked on his sales pitch.
It worked however. I took him up on his offer. Actually, I wasn't fighting him for the slaves' rights in the first place, it was just that I found his initial offer and the way he delivered it disrespectful to my great persona.
Mary Sith City Elf female is the best choice in the game imo. Female because of the origin stuff in the beginning: wedding, group who gets captured etc. Also, through out the game being female has some fun elements on its own. So all that and simply returning to an enslaved Alienage as a jacked up heroine god n rippin em a new one is freakin righteous. Satisfaction level 100.
@@Bubbles99718 Lets be honest though. Most people played human origin and I think Human noble destroys elf in any way (city + dalish) in popularity contest.
Autumn Carter I occasionally bargain with demons, but I don’t bargain with slavers, maybe that’s backwards, but my first character made a deal with the desire demon inside Connor to learn blood magic, and so yeah that was pretty evil, but I was an elf mage, so I couldn’t leave the elves as slaves, dark wizard with some conscience?
WOW! I have to say, part of me had always been curious as to what would happen if I made my Warden choose all the really obnoxious dialogue choices, but thanks to your vids I don't actually have to replay anything. It's certainly been enlightening! LOL

@@TheStrongNerd it is but people who dont fight for themselves have no right to choice and are subhuman for sten. Also the qun protects only people under the qun. The warriors are really the radical arm of the qun. Send a priest If you need compassion.

What I always disliked was that he can ask 100g from you, but no matter your persuade or stats, you can never demand 100g from him, even when he's defeated.
Morrigan is so damn cute. I love how she's so misanthropic. I took the persuade counter offer bribe during my most recent Evil Blood Mage playthrough, but no one contested my decision because I came with Shale, Sten & Morrigan.
I mean, he's done so much bad, but he's also done plenty good, so instead of killing him for his crimes, why not force him to spend the rest of his life in service to those he wronged?
In his own words. "Is it worse to live with hope to escape of to die at the hands of the darkspawn?" Logain was selling the elves to pay his armies whilst evacuating the least defended part of the city. Its fucked up but I can see the cold logic there.
@@samreddig8819 Cold logic of a person who is a hypocrite. Wanted a free Ferelden but not free elves. Didn't even let the elves to choose between killed by Darkspawn or sold into slavery.

I mean boost health, and potential boost to our coffers, are offers that are always nice and tempting; yet it's making a deal with slavers, and that in itself feels a bit dirty.
It should have been stated how much and the numbers way bigger - 1 constitution WONT convince anyone. 10 constitution on the other hand though. Its like if I told you "if you let this terrorist act unpunished, you get a dollar." then you would report the crime and get a bigger thank you ffrom the authorities for this act. 1 constitution is simply not enough.
What I never understood is why the whole dilemma? Strike the deal, get the letter, behead the bastard and free the slaves. If he is actually smart enough to take some precautions to prevent you from doing that, just remove step one and two, behead the bastard and free the slaves. Same thing with the city elf origin. Get the key, loot his treasure, then go back in there and eviscerate that filthy shemlin.
Its shockes me how great this game was with all its different scenes. I mean the game always ends the same way but how it ends can easily be different every play threw. I love DA-origins. its for sure the best of the series. Other two are OK in comparison the fact you have different choices has always been this games strong suit. Too bad that There is no Turely different endings of the main plot.
@TheVolourn Yes, Sten always came across as one of the more ruthless companions, but he did at least express shame and remorse for the people he killed before the game started, and those killings were more of a crime of passion, whereas sacrificing the elves is very cold-blooded. This scene makes me reconsider which of the companions is the most evil.
funny how Wynne says ITS BLOOD MAGIC NOOOO!, when she herself is one... download the missing diolog mod where it puts in all the stuff that was cut out for one reason or another diolog wise
the developers took out a bunch of diolog from the game, a friendly neighbour hood modder took this and made it into a mod. releasing all the lore and infomation and funny talks that were not released. its quite good, but as it turns out that when you gain full favor with Wynne she confesses her using blood magic to sustain herself for a small time that allows a spirit into her to help her live.
On a side-note, if for some reason the Warden's failed the elves would be a good distance from the Blight, seeing as how the Alienage was hit pretty hard during the invasion. XD
HALP! How the fuck do you get the "Slave trade not stopped" in the epilouge?! Cause even if you make deal with the slave trader he leaves with the elves. So how do you not shut it down? :s
Sten is using a mod called "Sten Armor". The Wardens are using "Grey Wardens of Ferelden" armor mod with optional tint. edit: zevran is using armor mod from witcher series, and morrigan is using a mod called "concept morrigan".
Love how the game clearly expects you to save the elves if you're a City Elf, whereas mine couldn't have been happier to side with Caladrius after being forced into a near-marriage and a rescue attempt which ended in a bribe done with Vaughan 😂

Even Zevran agrees the elves are pathetic. They have a chance to serve the greater entity, to be part of something bigger than they are. To be part of Me! They should be honoured and grateful for the opportunity.
If i am not an elf here, i usually take morrigan, shale and ohgren here with me, i let that mage do his thing, once i have defeated him, since i play these kind of games with rpg-style, no human would care if few elf-animals would survive, and dwarves, don't care..
