And now I've finished. Wah.

Played a good, elf, mage. Ended up with Loghain dead as I figured Alistair was king and I couldnt start his reign overruling him in his first landsmeet.

So I had to die when the Archdemon needed killing.

Poop.

Played with stone prisoner, return to ostagar and wardens keep. I guess I'll try lelianas song now ;-p

This is the best ending. The hero has to die for it to be a good story.

Heh ...

Alistair was king and got himself killed in my "paragon" type playthrough.

Alistair was crowned, married the annoying princess chick and ran off to pout like a little baby after I wouldn't let him kill Loghain (so that I could make him deal the final blow to the archdemon) in all but one of my playthroughs. In the one I didn't sacrifice Loghain I made Alistair sleep with Morrigan.

Near as I can tell from Witch Hunt, Morrigan's child-god-thing is going to be needed to save the whole damn world. It really seems to me that Morrigan is working for the good side here.

That's not going to go over well with Raltar.

It's hardly concrete. In fact, Raltar still won't believe it, and it's hard to blame him.

Never was. According to Morrigan, anyway. Archdemons were Old Gods that had been corrupted, their souls tainted. In joining with an unborn human, the child's soul would cleanse the taint of the archdemon from the old god's soul.

yes, but, they were still the things that urged the tevinter into becoming tainted in the first place, right?...

Maybe, but I'm not sure it was their true intention. They contacted the magisters and taught them magic, and convinced them to try and free them from their underground prison. This is why the magisters entered the Golden City, which resulted in the First Blight, at least according to the Chantry's teachings.

Dragon Age Wiki wrote:
What the Old Gods actually are and their relation to the Maker is very mysterious. What is certain is that the Chantry teaches that the Old Gods were false. They turned mortals from worship of the Maker, recognized as the "First Sin". As a result, the Maker imprisoned them underground. Their minds continued to roam the Fade like any other dreaming individual's mind would, and they were able to contact the Magisters and teach them to use magic in hope that the magisters might free them. It was for this reason that the magisters entered the Golden City in a failed attempt to usurp the Maker's throne, inadvertently causing the First Blight.


Whether that's what they wanted all along, or if the taint was just an accident, remains to be seen.

Regardless, the fact is, the Tevinter were not aware that their presence in the Golden City would cause the taint.

Is it wrong for me to get excited about the fact that the Lore/Backstory from a game can produce these types of engaging discussions? I absolutely love the lore/setting/everything about the Dragon Age universe, and I'm ecstatic that we can have a debate on the various religious teachings/beliefs that occur as a backdrop to a video game. I really think it's a testament to Bioware's story-telling abilities.

I love listening to Morrigan and Leliana argue religion when in my party together.
