So has anyone really put together just how ridiculous it is for Viago to show up with his poisoned balista bolts in the Fire and Ice quest?

Think about it. How do they get the balista from Treviso to the freaking Anderfels?

Obviously, the only way to get there is through the Crossroads. But think about how much work would be needed for that to happen

First, they've got to jerryrig some sort of pulley system in order to hoist the balista up to the rafters of the casino. Because that's where the eluvian is

Then, they have to go through the eluvian and find their way to the docks in the Crossroads, potentially having to fight Antaam and guardians

Once they get to the dock, they have to hope that the Caretaker shows up and will ferry them over to the Anderfels dock

Once they make it there, then they have to fight darkspawn in order to get to the Hossberg Wetlands

Then after they go through that eluvian, they have to walk through Lavendel, which has no Wardens (cause they're all fighting) and civilians who probably start to panic, thinking they're being invaded

After that, they have to walk through half the wetlands, fighting darkspawn and having to keep pushing the balista out of the damn mud

And then, when they finally make it to the battlefield, Viago makes them wait, just so he can swoop in with perfect timing and save the day

(And once the battle is done? Do you really think that Viago is going to leave proprietary balista bolts lying around? Where anyone could study them? Nope. They now have to turn right around and head back towards Treviso

But Viago really doesn't mind. He really liked the fade ferry ride)

What I'm looking for is a particular angle on how damnable we really feel that particular thing was, regardless of everything else that happens vis a vis Solas's characterization
