In Alistair's romance: Alistair: "You know our party is gonna talk about us. They do that, you know." In Morrigan's romance: Alistair: "HEY EVERYONE DID YOU HEAR ABOUT MORRIGAN AND THE WARDEN??? HUH?"
well if you play amale warden, areound the time Alistair thrusts you and asks your opinion on the party, the warden can saty" admi it, you fancy her" to shush him without loosing aproval
I never got why Alistair was so harsh and distrusting of Morrigan. I mean I travel with an assassin, an orlesian Bard, a 7ft tall qunari, a drunk dwarf, and a golem, and the one person he has a problem with is a maleficar? Seriously Alistair and his "burn the witch" pissed me off so much throughout the game.
his problem isn't with her being a witch I think, he doesn't have a problem with a blood mage warden or wynne or any other mages tbh. I think he hates morrigan because she burns him at every corner and he's insecure about his level of intelligence.
Mike Morrigan does have the better understanding although slightly twisted true love is in deed a combanation of passion, respect between equals, physical attraction and a great many things
Okay, but lets be honest about it... Either she has an old god child, which was conceived not out of love, but out of neccesity and Morrigan's need to "collect power"(even Flemeth said, that her habit of collecting unique objects and power Morrigan inherited after her) or it happened as pure accident before the last attack. But it's true that she became more mature, more caring and even changed her attitude a little. And my Warden will always find her and will go with her(aside from the fact, that she may be the only person except Flemeth and Avernus, who could help u defeat calling, so yes, maybe my Warden is little selfish too).
@@HanithSVK She is more mature, and maybe child WAS conceived not out of love - in DAI she ready to put herself, before Flemeth, to defend her kid. That's character arc in it's finest.
@@HanithSVKI doubt that the child was conceived only to collect a rare curiosity. In Witch Hunt Morrigan says that whatever inhabits Flemeth (we know what it is after Inquisition) has something huge in mind and that the child is instrumental in whatever it is. Given how heavily that dialogue foreshadows Inquisition, I'd say it's still to be trusted.
It's great how everyone warns you of her, including herself, and in the end she is the only BW romance ever that ends with you two starting a loving family.
Funny that roughly ten years later she's essentially happily married (not that she would admit to it) with a well adjusted (but possibly unusual) son and far happier than she had ever been before.
This is one of my favorite character relationships in the series. Morrigan is this cold calculated bitch because she was raised by one. The first person to actually show her true kindess, loyalty and love throws her for a loop and it actually turns her around by the time of Inquisition. She's a loving devoted mother willing to sacrifice herself for her son and speaks fondly of The Warden when asked of him, showing that she does truly love them both despite her past claims of love being a weakness.
I love the genuine shock on Flemeths face when Morrigan fights for her son. It shows actual surprise on her part on how much her own daughter has changed.
I mean given how both of you have darkspawn blood in your veins and he is your senior by a few months... yes... yes he is technically your bigger brother
Definitely more like a little brother who's whiny and jealous his big brother is growing up and finding love. Despite his seniority as a warden Alistair is only about 18-20 in DA:O, the Warden depending on origin is more like 20-29 in age
I know Bioware has said before that it would be difficult to bring back the Warden but I really hope they find some way to incorporate him in a future game. To see Kieran, Morrigan, and him together at once would be incredibly satisfying.
the reason why it would be difficult for Bioware is cuz the Warden doesn't have a voice actor and the company knows that people will get angry if there is only one voice actor for each gender.
I feel like if enough people petitioned it, Bioware could figure something out. I mean this in the nicest possible way, but if any company can contrive a reason to have the Warden resurrected/just show up, it would be the people who made Dragon Age and Mass Effect.
It's not a canon/ Just another thing to motivate people buying the game. Some kind of antipiracy thing. Wanna shitting crap warden story welcome to torrent edition version with elven dead girl. Wanna normal warden story - You are welcome here your's Dragon Keep file. Just a buisnees. It's rather canonical Malcolm as Grey Warden he has own Sacred Ashes trailer and etc. Even on oficial Bioware's wallpapers introducing origins of GW we have : Male noble, female mage, male royal dwarf, female dwarf outcast, male daylish elf, and female city elf. So it seems really impossible be that a 100% canon version of warden is a daylish female protagonist.
"I know no such love." Love how she eats her words at the end of a fully fleshed romance with The Warden. Already looking forward to the relationship update in DA 4!
@@aspectofdecay007I disagree. I still have hope, but Dragon Age 4 is the deciding factor whether Bioware in its current state live up to the expections that they had in their prime. If they fail, that's it for them. The trust is gone.
Lelianna's so two-faced, lmao. "It's nice to see you two together! Love is such a wonderful thing"/"...You don't think he's serious about it, do you? the woman is a vile fiend!"
Homegirl was soooo jealous whenever the Warden talked to any of the other romance options! I’m trying to woo alistair at the moment and she made this really backhanded comment about him basically being fit and easy to boss around? Leliana please, if you’re gonna be mean to Alistair like that maybe I won’t make you my royal side piece 😂
i love how Morrigan is like "me no need love bitches, I just want many one night stands." in DAo, where as in DAi "our child is very important me to, and his father...... well he has gotten me to come around."
Keep in mind this is merely the lesser runt offspring of Baldurs Gate as well. Bioware never did reach the same heights as Baldurs Gate 2 but I have to give KOTOR and DAO credit because in their own ways they made a damned good try of it.
I always found Morigan's line at 4:56 very profound. Obviously she loves the warden but she emphasizes the respect of equals and that is the true foundation of a successful relationship. Hence them starting a family. The Morigan romance is canon as far as I'm concerned. It makes the most sense.
DAO had the best conversations I've seen in any game and the voice acting just makes it feel so natural. I enjoyed these more than any of the Mass Effect. They're so witty and the banter is top notch. Like damn Morrigan is ruthless and I love her.
She's voiced by Claudia Black, who is an absolute delight. She also played a roguish character on Stargate SG:1 in the final 2 seasons. Look up "best of Vala Maldoran".
I love how nobody likes nor trust her, but really she's just a tsundere. And I glad even Shale and Sten care for the Warden enough to threaten Morrigan
Heh, I agree. I only got around to playing Origins recently, and in all my years of gaming I've never felt as strongly about a character as I did with Morrigan. Sucks that the journey with her and the Warden only lasts 1 game.
They seem to get worse with each DA game. In DAO, pretty much all of them were good. In DA2, almost all of them were. In DAI, some were fantastic, others meh, and others outright trash.
Man the conversations in this game were really something. Looking back at it now, the gameplay isn't as good as I remember, but the witty jabs the party send at each other really makes you start getting attached to this small band of ruffians.
- These blushing cheeks are terrified that you'll suck all the blood out of them once you're finished with him. - If i feel the need to suck on anything of yours, Alistair, you'll be the first to know. LMAO!!!
Of the entire dragon age series she is my favorite romance option and my favorite character. Isabella sails in at second with Cassandra swinging into third
firesprite1123 Cass romance makes my heart melt, I love her, out of my 3 playthroughs I’ve romanced her twice, and the second one was because I was a woman lol
@@mithrandirsilvertongue1406 I didn't know Cass was straight until about a third of the way through the game. lol Oh well Actually, both she and Morrigan. They're both wonderful romance options. /sigh
Venom Quill I thought they could’ve made Cass gay, but she has a hidden sweet feminine side to her, and I never really thought Morrigan as gay, maybe potentially bi, but she do be jealous of Leliana when her and the Warden do the hanky panky lmao
Well Morrigan does know what happens to Wardens when they fight the Archdemon. She is 100% correct in her assessment of what will come of her love of the Warden if they don't have the old god baby. Either the Warden, Alastair or Loghain dies if they don't do the ritual.
Memento Mori well Alistair sees the Warden as his bff, and it’s quite common for male friends, esp. if one of them is single, to become jealous of their friends woman, because what was once attention they received, is now shifted mostly towards the woman, and when someone receives certain special attention, and that is then taken away, then it sucks, it makes sense...
She loved him from the get-go. She denied that she "loved" him. But if she didn't, she wouldn't defend her loyalty to him. It's fitting she is the only character that the warden starts a family with
Don't forget why she did it. She wanted to raise the Soul of an Old God and teach it to respect where it came from. Grey Wardens' chance of producing offspring is very rare, that's likely why no other romance produces children.
I love how the whole first game paints morrigan as untrustworthy, no one likes her, everyone tells you sleeping with her is a bad idea, the whole making a kid with her thing is so sus that the warden canonically doesn't do it And then every game after that goes "yeah she was on the up and up the whole time, leliana is just jealous because she was in love with the warden, and Alistair was just insecure." If you romance her she is portrayed as nothing but loving and devoted and immediately takes you back without a second thought in witch hunt if you go looking for her to reunite with her because she really does want to raise a family with the warden. Morrigan never once betrays the trust the warden gives her throughout the game, making everyone's reactions to her in the first game even funnier in retrospect
Someone freely gives you the love and trust that you yourself didn't even know you wanted, despite you genuinely believing that you don't deserve it, you realize you need it more than anything. You damn well won't betray the one who gives it to you.
@@literallyanangrymoose7717 for real. Is strange tho as the romance goes on she start to somewhat ship it as Morrigan become more soft. Or atleast in my game.
There won't be another masterpiece like Dragon Age Origins coming out of Bioware ever again. I don't want them even considering to continue the Warden's story after how bad Andromeda flopped. We can thank EA for that.
cartoon it may not have been as good as Origins, but at least it was fun to play and had some good DLCs. Andromeda was simply rushed and flopped, like many games before it, like many games to come...
What can you expect when they have the D team working on Andromeda while the A team is busy with Anthem. I enjoyed Andromeda. It certainly has its flaws but it was a good time.
Sure, Morrigan isn't very friendly but damn does everybody HAVE to be so fucking mean to her?? It's not her fault she's more interesting then everyone else. They're literally accusing her of bewitching the player as if we aren't capable of making our own decisions. I don't romance Morrigan because she's a "pretty lady" I do it because of her worldview and experiences offer a lot of insight into things. She's COOL
I played Inquisition where she has Kieran (my warden went with her through the Eluvian in Witch Hunt) and it's incredible how much she had changed. In my current playthrough of Inquisition I set it to the opposite scenario and she hasn't changed at all. It's incredible how the warden and Kieran are such a good influence on her.
I finally got to playing Dragon Age back in 2016 and MY GOD, Morrigan romanced me in real life, I'm not a cynic so I always saw through her bullshit. Still, something about femme fatales (I know what you mean Geralt...) The best part is how simple answers often disarm her whole practical and shrewd philosophies.(All hail Sten, King of Straight Answer) I will always remember my first run of DAO and the Morrigan romance. The writing and the voice acting of this game was insane like very few games come close
I only seen Alister and Morrigan conversation it's so awesome to see all these conversations after so long I wish these were gone into more I love the remanded story with these characters still my favorite version of dragon age new ones doesn't have that charm these characters have
then again you can make hawke look old as well and they could just have it be the default orlesian gray warden from awakening if the hero was sacrificed
I'm sure they did. Most players either make a super attractive character for escapism or make a super ugly character for a laugh. NPCs fawning over them no matter what caters to both.
@@AlphapkmnI wish they'd say like his vocal cords were damaged curing the taint and that's why he can't talk and has to use a magic necklace to communicate or something just bring him back dammit
I found all the characters in DA:I to be way more 3-dimensional than (most) Origin characters, and without nostalgia goggles I don't see how the main plot in Origins is much better
@@cosmancho2959 jeez dude, that touchy? Origins was great and all, but the plot wasn't anything amazing. Seek help. Normal people don't react like that based on what video games they like.
"And what is it you think Im doing/... other than the Grey Warden of course...", lolol.... the funniest line in the game... so good, I love Morrigans sarcastic smugness.. especially towards Alistair, the pair of them are hilarious at times... .. DA:Inquisition, is a great game but far too serious, shouldve had funnier dialogue :)
Morrigan is the most wonderful video game character ever. I can't help but play dragon age origins and witch-hunt dlc over and over. She is my woman crush and I love and adore her.
Morrigan is easily my most favorite romance companion in *any* game I have ever played. She's well written. She's sultry, seductive yet 'innocent'. I wouldn't say she's naive or inexperienced though, as she comes to grips with pretty much any situation rather quickly. But the most desirable trait about her (aside from her exceedingly stunning looks and behavior) is her well hidden desire for love and affection. The Warden and their son means everything to her (when you play for that to happen, of course) and she wishes to live a good life with both of them. I gave her that and I will keep giving her that whenever I play through the games.
