Happy to find a sympathizer! :D #TeamMors
I know, right? I ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ hate Alester. This was one of the best games of my life, but this ♥♥♥♥♥♥ character ♥♥♥♥♥♥ it up for me.
At least I felt a relief for choosing Mors.
Mors did what many would consider to be the honorable thing but he didn't think it fully through. He believed that he would be punished and only he ,which is just stupid when you consider that his liege lord was Tywin Lannister.
Alester tried to save him by petitioning the Lannisters so he had the option of taking the black. He truly did believe that he could shield his friend and protect his family. He had good intentions.
However Tywin was'nt finished, he then demanded that Alester execute his family to preserve his friend's life. The alternative was Mors being executed and his family following him shortly after.
When Mor's dared to defy Tywin he signed his death sentence and unfortunately that of his family as well.
I liked both characters equally and have seen all 4 endings.
so would you rather killing an innocent family in order to save your own? In my opinion, honor is above everything. Mors did the right thing, and as consequence he should have protected his family or even run away with them;
Thing is:
1 - had he killed the innocent family, he would never forgive himself and there would be no coming back in his actions
2 - had he spared, which he did, the family's lives, he at least had the option to save both families, his own and the family he was supposed to kill. He could have warned the mother and child of his task and they woulda figured something out, at the same time he coulda planned his escape and the escaping of his family to a safe place.
The first option was too extreme, no options allowed. Second option had multiple variables and ways.
Alester was a piece of ♥♥♥♥, you see: it's common sense, I'd rather losing my very own life than any of my family members losing theirs. It's common sense, man. I bet you would give your life for your parents, children and whatever... Alester knew that, Alester, in a dumb way, decided which was the best choice for another's family. He chose his best friend instead of his friend's most precious thing in the world, his family. And he knew that, it's common sense.
So Alester killed 2 innocent lives to save one, this one that will dwell in grief and sorrow for the rest of his live.
ofc, since Mors chose to spare those lives, those lives would be killed by Twin, and Twin would kill Mors and Mor's family, but thats my point, Mors didn't think straight, he could have saved everyone, but he just didn't do the right choices as warning the queen and princess and making their gateway.
First option = no options = "happy" family = eternal sadness = no honor.
Second option = multiple options = wrong decisions = we saw what happened.
That was Alester's point, if he hadn't complied then Tywin would have sent another to do the job.
And Alester had no choice in the matter as it was his punishment for getting Mors to take the black.
Valarr informed Tywin of his half brothers interference and so Tywin devised a cruel form of punishment. He could choose - Mors or his family, but lets be clear Alester knew what he really meant, defy me and you will suffer the same fate.
So Alester executed two people to save Mors but also his own family which would have a direct effect on hundreds of lifes.
He paid for his betrayal of Mor's trust he left Westeros for 15 years and lived in poverty and misery. I don't say what he did was right or honorable but its typical of the setting, hard choices and choosing the lesser evil.
The true evil is and was the Lannister family and their ilk.
edit: Mors couldn't warn the Targaryens...they had just been routed, Kings landing had been taken, ra pe and pillaging was widespread. In this instance he should have done it quickly and with as little pain as possible. Instead The Mountain got his hands on them and they suffered.
