In every single Dragon Age game, there has been a dramatic twist at the end where your mage companion turns the tables on you. You may or may not have trusted this mage, but either way, they've been around for a while. You're used to their face.

But then you find out they want to have your baby, or they're actually an ancient elven God, or something equally shocking. We have to wonder if Dragon Age 4 will follow the trend or if it's just too obvious by now. Until we get an answer, why not rank all the mages by their general trustworthiness? I can't blame you if your answer is 'low.'

8 Wynne

dragon age origins - wynne

Wynne has — and this is true — never done a single thing wrong in her life. End of story.

Does she support a flawed system of governing mages that essentially amounts to caging them from birth to work for the rest of society? Basically. But Wynne isn't the mage who betrays you. She's the mage who gives you tea after another mage betrays you and tells you that the Maker has a plan for us all.

7 Dorian

Dragon Age Inquisition - Dorian in the library

Dorian, who often goes by the nickname "your gay best friend," is a very popular character in the Dragon Age fandom. Can you blame them? No one could resist that mustache. The gentlemen want him, and the ladies want to tell him ever🐭ything about their boyfriends.

While he might seem sly, Dorian is actually pretty trustworthy. Help him get over his daddy issues and he'll be loyal to you forever.

6 Bethany

dragon age 2 - bethany

Hawke's sister, Bethany, can have one of four fates in Dragon Age 2:

  • She dies while you're escaping Ferelden
  • She dies in the Deep Roads
  • She survives the Deep Roads and becomes a Grey Warden
  • She never goes to the Deep Roads and becomes a Circle Mage

Three out of four of these fates aren't even her fault. The worst you could say for her is that she gives up a lifetime of running, during which you and your family protected her, just to give in to her captors anywa🐭yꦗ.

5 Vivienne

Vivienne hasn't betrayed me, but she's on thin ice.

I keep eyes on my Inquisitor's back at all times. Not because that's the way the third-person game was designed, no... it's because I'm watching for Vivienne's knife.

4 Merrill

Dragon Age Best Companions Merrill

How hard Merrill betrays you is really dependent on how much you agree with her efforts to revive the eluvian. Of course, the whole point is that the player, as a human, doesn't understand the cultural significance of this object or what it means to Merrill as a keeper of the old ways for her people.

I'm gonna go on a limb, though, and say that it still isn't awesome of her to use 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:taboo and controversial blood magic to mess with powers that were totally beyond her understanding. It all bites her in the ass in the end, I guess.

3 Morrigan

Dragon Age - Morrigan in Dragon Age Origins - Morrigan in Dragon Age Inquisition

Morrigan is the OG mage traitor, so it pains me to put her in third place.

Her twist at the end of Dragon Age: Origins was a total gamechanger and left the player with a quintessential choice to make. A ch🌜oice, let me remind you, that has had rippling repercussions all the way into Dragon Age: Inquisition. There are so many unknown variables, and you have to choose whether to trust this witch with your life and the life of your closest friends.

Morrigan rates third place, though, because she was trying to help. She offers to conceive a child and take on the Archdemon's soul, purifying it and carrying it in her child instead of letting it enter a Grey Warden and kill them. Even though getting control over an Archdemon's soul might have advantages for her, it does still involve a) having a child and b) saving your life (or your friend's life).

2 Anders

Anders DA4

Anders betrays your ass hard. It is a long, thought out, meticulous plan to blow up the Chantry. He even asks for your help with gathering the ingredients! For a bomb! To blow up the Chantry!

Whether you agree with his motivations or not, you can't ignore the fact that he killed a lot of innocent priestesses, brothers, mages — probably innocent men, women, and children too — for his cause. Could freedom for the mages really be built on the backs of such a horror? He thought it had to be. You didn't even get a chance to talk him out of it.

1 Solas

Dragon Age: Inquisition Trespasser - Solas

Dragon Age: Inquisition added so much to the rich, deep lore of Thedas, and every quest seemed to have new implications.

Corypheus was one of the Magisters who entered the Fade? The Maker wasn't on his throne? Grey Wardens might be able to be cured? Mythal wasn't killed by Fen'harel?

Then, just when you thought it couldn't get any more mind-blowing, one of your companions turns out to be a God. Say what you will about the other mages who betray you in Dragon Age games; one of them just wanted to be knocked up, the other blew up a building, but the last one was an elven God with plans to bring magic into the real wo💖rld and subseque🌳ntly change the lives of every single living person in Thedas.

Enough said.
