-this decision has mostly to do with a friend of mine telling me that path is overpowered; sides, I sent the kid into the mage tower so there is a good chance he’ll meet the chick at his harrowing and take care of it, or not and someone else does the executing.

-the other option, from a story perspective makes even less sense. I have to go to another city, clear it in (probably) a couple in universe DAYS unless I have to grind for levels because I can’t glitch it like I did here, come back, and he magically didn’t make another attack at the village in the meantime? But yes that was just me being lazy.

-there didn’t seem to be a way for it, I said I’d like him freed but the dude was like, let the Arl decides IF he wakes up. I doubt anything I say will get him out but, only time will tell. -Nah she is an archer, through and through, I just didn’t take the skill that made her not lose focus when aiming at the time so I had to make do with the blades I placed on her for style.

-So you were weak-of-mind then? Did you know that with just some willpower and intimidation skills, you could force the Desire Demon to leave Connor alone and teach you Blood Magic and even give you something more on top of it?

Also, there are virtually an infinite amount of Demons and Spirits in the Fade. Reaching the Maker's golden city is much more likely than Connor happening to find the specific Desire Demon that wants to possess him, during his Harrowing. And abominations are strong in a normal magic joe's body, Connor showed magic potential much higher than the average mage, and now thanks to you he's an abomination. Good job man, you probably doomed Lake Calenhad.

Oh, and also just something you need to know: Connor is possessed waaay before he even begins his magic training at the Circle. In fact, it's even possible he doesn't even go to the Circle.

-Lake Calenhad is right there, just a bit to the north. At best, you reach in the very same day, at worst you take 1 full day. Redcliffe had nothing to worry about, you already exterminated almost all of Connor's undead and the remaining ones are no match for his uncle and his soldiers. And Connor basically locked himself in his room too. You could have tried. Would have been for the better, you could have saved everyone.

-So you want to free him, but give up just because he doesn't want to? What kind of friend are you? You have to do what's best for your friends, not what they think it's best for themselves.

-....Dude, why the fuck did you not take it? It's an extremely useful skill, there's virtually no reason for taking so long to get it.
