Silver Lining

--- Finally finished a tarot for Duncan. I didn't have any proper cards in mind but probably could be a King of Swords. :D

The Maker smiles sadly on his Grey Wardens, as no sacrifice is greater than theirs.

Replaying Cousland origin in DAO and it's reminding me how upset I was with Duncan/how much I felt angry with him in the origin lmao.

Like, I don't hate Duncan; I generally like him and his character despite how little we get of him in the game. But in the human noble origin in particular, I did not like him.

He won't recruit the human noble because your father does not want that, and Duncan respects that; sure. But, he decides to use your father dying to his advantage to recruit you in the end. I know the whole, 'grey wardens will do whatever they have to to stop the blight,' thing but this felt so fucking unnecessary and made me angry as fuck lmao.

Like, your father is there, dying on the floor, your home is burning, your nephew and sister-in-law are dead, and your father begs Duncan to get you and your mother out of there safely. And Duncan says "yeah sure, but I must ask for something in return-" and your father says, "anything" because he just wants his family safe. And Duncan pulls out the "what's happening here pales in comparison-" and asks basically to recruit you to the Wardens, which your father says he understands.

And, the best part? If you REFUSE to be a grey warden either way, Duncan will invoke the right of conscription on you; he never needed your fathers permission, he was going to do it no matter what. There was no need to create some sort of ultimatum for your father, or ask for a favour in return, "sure I can save them, but in return I would like this-" because he was going to do it ANYWAYS.

"Oh, but he was just being respectful-" no, he wasn't. He asked for something in return for saving two innocent people, and even that was empty because he will conscript you either way. Using your fathers desperation to get a yes was cruel in those moments and unnecessary. "Oh he's a grey warden-" yeah, he is, but he didn't have to do this. Especially when he uses the right of conscription on you if you say no either way.

He could have gotten you out safely after being asked to by your father, and then, when you were both out of there- asked you to become a Grey Warden. And if you said no, used the right of conscription on you. But no, he decides to use your father dying as some way to get empty permission for something he doesn't need permission for in the end. He makes an already hard situation even harder by giving a dying man some sort of "favour for a favour" ultimatum to save his child, when the permission he's given because your father is desperate, means nothing.

Sorry, this just- always made me feel so upset lmao.

Speaking of Loghain, why was that Ostagar strategy even approved?

Think about it - Ostagar was highly defensive and difficult to breach. Why not bolster Ostagar, defend it and wait for the darkspawn to come?

Why was there a need to perform a charge against a numerically superior foe?

Why was there a need to flank a numerically superior foe? I mean if you flank the darkspawn, they won’t be demoralized and break formation. All they would do is turn around and fight with the same intensity, because they’re darkspawn.

Now that I really think about Ostagar, the battle strategy was dumb. Duncan is not an expert in large scale warfare. Neither was Cailan.

Loghain was supposed to be the master tactician. Yet he approved of a battle plan that did not take advantage of Ostagar’s strong defense and did not take into account how darkspawn fight - They just fight, they don’t get demoralised unless the archdemon is slain.

Which makes me think that either Loghain is incompetent or he was deliberately planning to have Cailan killed and the Wardens framed from the very beginning.

Blorbos' opinions and outlooks on Duncan 👀

Duncan re: Cas Blorbos

Mahanon's opinion on Duncan is the one that has the most juice to it. He was offered the chance to take a new life under the Grey Wardens, far away from Denerim. He took it, and together they traveled for weeks, and for a moment, Mahanon almost found a psuedo-father figure in him. Once at Ostagar, however, that began to crumble under suspicion and his general paranoia at being in a camp surrounded by, well, men. After the battle, his opinions of Duncan have changed to ones of suspicion (and when he later finds out about Duncan's past prior to being a Grey Warden... well, let's just say it influences Mahanon's choices at the Landsmeet.) Nomaris is the ONLY origin who HAS to go with Duncan to save his life. He doesn't really want to leave his clan but does so reluctantly, and in return for his being able to live, he tries to devote himself to the Warden's cause. It's both an easy and difficult thing to do; Duncan makes the rules of being a Grey Warden clear, and Nomaris has resentments against his clan (re: the secret of his parents' deaths) but that doesn't mean that his gratitude is endless.

Naoise strongly dislikes Duncan. He feels strong-armed and manipulated by the Warden; there, at his dying father's side, when Highever was under attack and Bryce was pleading with him... Duncan said that he would ONLY save Eleanora and Naoise if Bryce agreed to let Naoise become a Grey Warden recruit. Naoise feels that it was a horrible thing to ask an emotional, dying man; the life of his son and wife were on the line, and Duncan took advantage. Were it not for the shock of losing his home and family, Naoise might have tried to run away from Duncan and start his own rebellion to reclaim Highever.
