Of course wifey ran in at the last minute to plead for his life and wouldn't see reason, so I was forced to punch her out and then slit the boy's throat. In the end I dismissed emotion and went for a purely logical decision - Assuming the Arl recovers, him and his wife can have another son, possibly more than 1, but without the wife, no more children, and there was no guarantee that if we did the whole wifey-sacrifice thing that we wouldn't end up having to kill the boy anyway, leaving the Arl without both. So it seemed I had to make a choice as to who had to die.

Many lives > One Life, no matter if he's a noble (hell, as a dwarf casteless, that almost changes into 'especially if he's a noble') The Village had just barely been holding out against the undead attacks until I'd got there and 'saved' them, if I left the boy possessed and went off for a few days, the death toll would be too high. What did you do? From the conversations I had, there seemed to be 3 options:Ģ) Let the mother sacrifice herself in a blood magic ritual to allow you to enter the Vale (or whatever it's called) to kill the demon possessing her sonģ) Go and ask the Circle Mages for advice/help. OK, so I'm not very far through my first playthrough, playing a male dwarven commoner rogue, got to the point where the world opened up and you needed to start gathering an army, and decided to go speak to the Arl in Redcliffe first.Īnd, well, undead army, poisoned Arl, boy summoned demon, etc, etc, etc.
