(Anonymous) 2015-01-20 11:10 pm (UTC)(link)But the fact remains that my female Cousland would indeed think of it as a false god. And I was playing her in character. This wasn't the first time she'd made a decision that was to her detriment gameplay-wise -- when the Crows attacked her, and one of the assassins claimed he wanted to work for her and totally take her side, honest, she didn't believe him. She felt sure that taking an assassin into her camp would just open her up to having her throat slit one night, regardless of how much he swore that the Crows wouldn't take him back. And so she sent Zevran away, losing a party member before he even joined. Just because I as the player knew he'd never do that, didn't mean I could justify my character thinking the same thing.
Furthermore, you don't have to be a devout follower of the Maker to think that bringing back an Old God in one form or another could be a very dangerous thing. They were powerful enough to draw the civilization of the time into worshipping them -- what would they do if brought back and given their own will and power? For that matter, what if Flemeth essentially tricked Morrigan into doing this because she could, say, jump into the body once it was mature, merging with the Old God's soul and gaining its powers for herself? I don't think we can trust the witch who explicitly raised girls just for the purpose of stealing their bodies *not* to do something like that if she could...
That's just a couple of the ways it could go wrong. There are so many others, and so few ways it could actually turn out *well*, that I'm a little surprised so many people think it's the 'right' thing to do, instead of just a risky, somewhat unsavory way to save their own skin.
