DA2: Orsino question/observation

[zute]

Totally missed the significance of this on my first play through, probably because we haven't really heard much about him, but there's a message signed by "O" about the cool, crazy experiments that Quentin is doing (i.e. trying to recreate his dead wife by killing a bunch of other women). I'm reasonably certain that is probably Orsino... I remember he said something about so-and-so using blood magic but he had stayed away from him, during the final battle.

So all this time I kind of sympathized with Orsino and thought he was one of the down trodden mages but now... I'm not so sure. He seems like a pretty creepy guy now.

Seriously. Here we are, winning, and the guy is like, "hey, things are scary. Why not be a monster?"

Bad writing.

Would I allow any content of DA2 into my head-canon, this wouldn't be part of it, because it just makes no sense.
I'm keeping that door firmly shut, though.
