That'd make a fair amount of sense. I was worried they were going for a "Templars<->Lyrium!" thing, which I thought would be out of character for a character like her, but what you're saying satisfies me just fine. I do wish we knew the deal with it though. And... why it summoned the ghost of a giant rock monster? That info might have been useful as well. (I wonder what happened to Bartrand. Guess we'll never know or something. I didn't kill him so maybe he's just in the nut house.)

Meredith was an awesome character, and it really depresses me that so few people playing it will probably ever realize that. Her VA did an awesome job, too. Plus, another strong woman never goes amiss! (And I did think she qualified.) Orsino was just boring. Plus he pulled a totally weird, out of the blue bullshit boss fight out of his ass. The jerk. (I felt silly having Fenris right there. Yep, you called this one Fenris, sorry....)

Yeah! To be honest I thought Meredith was really beautiful too - aesthetically speaking. She just looked - strong and yet stressed and - I don't know, perfect for her personality. And her personally really made you wonder what would have happened if it weren't for that idol - when DID she get that sword, anyway? Was it during Act 2? It must have been, because Bartrand didn't have it then - and it would have completely changed A3 if she hadn't had it...

MAN the Orsino fight was so... completely random and just what? Like yeah I get the intent was to make it so both endings were the same no matter what you picked, but it was just OH COME ON NOT AGAIN, he didn't even have a good reason to turn demonic if your Hawke sided with him and he wasn't even LOSING. :|

Yeah, Meredith was beautiful, and her design beautifully chosen. She looked very noble, sad and strong. Somehow, she came across as a warrior--her face was tough enough--but it also was very gentle when she was just speaking with you. And yep, going by the timeline, it must have been Act 2. Maybe there's some sort of aspect to the sword that drew it to her or her to it.... I sort of feel it's something that could have or would have been explored in a full epilogue.

As for the Orsino fight, I wanted to slap that stupid asshole. I sided with him, I was INCREDIBLY strong, everything was going great for us... and suddenly he flips out? Like, where did that come from? I thought I was going to finally have a chance to prove Fenris occasionally wrong. But I guess not! (His staff was really awesome-looking though.)

GOOD IT'S NOT JUST ME THEN. She was actually the NPC I felt the sorriest for even BEFORE the idol reveal, even though she was starting genocides and everything, goddamn. She did the well-intentioned extremist going-too-far thing in half an act a hell of a lot better than Anders did in the whole game (probably because she showed believable pain at the atrocities she felt she had to commit, while Anders blew everything up then just sat there all 'yeah it was me')...

Man, it annoyed me that you had to fight the same bosses in the exact same order no matter what side you picked :| And that it didn't even MATTER what side you picked, the same ending happens (iirc picking the templars gets you one extra line in the epilogue about them but that's it, everything else is the same).

Yeah, no joke. And the thing is, since both sides end up committing such horrible transgressions, you have a hard time arguing either one has the moral high-ground. I mean, the mages did originally, but that goodwill got squandered time and time again, culminating with Anders killing someone who maybe wasn't completely innocent (it's open for debate) but sure as hell wasn't the right target. Plus, the civilian causalities resulting from something like that would be catastrophic. At least Meredith was trying to restrict the damage and the pain to the people the solution required be hurt.

As for the two final boss battles... that was super lame. Absolutely. I mean, the marketing made a big deal of "At the end, you make a CHOICE. And that's what's important." Yeah, important my ass, it didn't change shit.

Yeah it's like - couldn't he even have evacuated the building before he blew it up? At least get the PEOPLE out! It woulda worked just as well symbolically! And even AFTER he does that he doesn't even show any signs of being actually crazy and it's just played off like well ok, now what? Auuugh I can't even

Usually I tell Anders to fuck off then side with the mages then tell him to fuck off AGAIN when he shows up all "SO YOU CHOSE THE RIGHT SIDE HUH" :|

Man does NOT know when to quit.

And yeah, I mean, seriously, it would be bad enough to blow up the building, but he ended up showing a BLATANT disregard for regular people's lives. Just... like all the other mages.... (Sigh.)
