Eh. I have mixed feelings about Morrigan. lord-of-shadow Send a noteboard - 19/01/2010 05:25:01 PM
I feel like she's the most 2-dimensional of all the party members in the game. The developers don't seem to have had any direction to her character; rather, they just sat down one day and said "Oh, let's have the enigmatically selfish and dark mage-witch," and then left it at that. I feel like her personality does not mesh with the points that that you gain or lose from her, for instance. PErsonality and dialogue-wise, she's self-centered and a bit dark, but that's about the extent of it. But in terms of gaining or losing points with her? Some of the most evil actions will gain her approval.

If there was some other explanation, like arguing that she rewards independence, self-reliance and practicality, and despises weakness or sentimentality, then sure, I'd buy it. But if that's what the devs wanted, they weren't consistent with it. There are times when you gain plus points with her for going out of your way to be mean, even though it's not practical, and it's not necessarily matching any of those other qualities.

And there are other times when being good to someone, regardless of practicality, gains negative points from her. Even if it costs you nothing.


Eh, I might just be bad at reading her character, but I honestly think that the devs were just inconsistent with her, and failed to give her any depth.


All that said though, some of her dialogue is fantastic.

I don't keep her in party because she disapproves of me going around doing good deeds. *NM* - 18/01/2010 06:33:28 AM 271 Views

you're right about the points - 19/01/2010 05:39:46 PM 545 Views
Some are deeper than others- but Morigan doesn't give you much at all (spoilers) - 22/01/2010 07:31:28 AM 522 Views
She still has sufficient depth for a video game - 22/01/2010 03:13:47 PM 533 Views
My complaint was that she's not snarky ENOUGH- she mostly just complains - 22/01/2010 05:58:06 PM 491 Views
