All I've done is let him live. To be honest I wasn't sure there was another option. Also I was afraid my elf sidekick would leave if I fought the Architect since he had her sister.
I'm going to be trying a playthrough now with a not so good city elf and I plan on her doing everything the opposite of my good run, killing the Architect and letting the city burn. There's always the chance that the Architect is full of it and can't do anything. We haven't seen the full ramifications of letting him live But Asagi Igawa is still the best Waifu. User Info: some09guy II.
His ultimate goal is noble, but the ramifications of his ongoing plots are always extremely dangerous and cause more harm than good. In fact, they've never done good. First he wanted create peace between darkspawn and humans by giving the world a stable version of the taint which would have killed off all but a fraction of the populous. A plan which was further altered and abused due to his own naivete toward human reactions. Then he attempted to cut off the connection those with the taint have with the Old Gods by making one a disciple which in turn began the fifth blight which nearly destroyed a nation and threatened the world.
Then he began creating mass disciples who were cut off from the Old Gods and could think freely, only for a good portion of them to go insane and attack more fiercely than ever, only with some semblance of organization, cleverness, and even ability to build judging by their custom armors for hurlocks and ogres which nearly wiped a Grey Warden stronghold.
Darkspawn and their taint are a threat to every other race, regardless of the intentions of one. A Grey Warden's duty is to protect those other races from the darkspawn. Allowing the Architect to live and continue his attempts is shirking that duty. Let's consider. If the darkspawn become smart, not only do they keep the taint you let the messenger leave, but even when he help he taint people by proximity.
They might eventually want their own land in the surface adn fight for it. They will want the survival of their own species, which mean making more broodmothers. There is a chance of those going the same way as the Mother. Also while thye may be smart, they are still souless no? It's yet to see how that affect their personality in the future.
So far it's just to much of a risk. I disagree with the above two posters. The fact is, the Grey Wardens are completely reactive, in that their strategy is basically, take 'em as they come, hopefully the blights will end like legend says they will. Don't you see a problem with that?
Fact is, the Architect represents the only pragmatic thing they can do. What is there really to lose? Think of such a man, down in the Deep Roads for centuries with nothing but guilt and darkness to keep him company.
He must be mad, if this is true. Even if it is not, this is not something we can allow to spread. The Chantry would lose its mind at the very possibility. Dragon Age Wiki Explore. Dragon Age Series.

It worked together with Bregan as well as First Enchanter Remille and his mages to spread the taint through enchantments in the major human cities.
It gained Bregan's and Genevieve's assistance in its plans by promising to to locate and kill the Old Gods before they would be turned into archdemons , thus ending all future Blights forever.

In its discussions about its goals with the Warden Commander, it does not mention its previous plan to force the taint upon Thedas and appears to instead wish to give Warden blood to all darkspawn in order to free them from the call of the Old Gods. If the Warden-Commander sides with the Architect, the Mother will reveal that the Architect's botched attempt at making Urthemiel into a disciple was the cause of the Old God's corruption and thus the cause of the Fifth Blight.
The Architect however will keep its word and assist with its magic during the battle regardless. This section contains spoilers for : Dragon Age II. If the Warden-Commander chose to kill the Architect, Anders mentions this to Hawke as a point worth noting, stating that the Warden-Commander knew the Architect to be too dangerous and that deals with the darkspawn could not be made.

Suffice it to say here that all actions, favorable or unfavorable, that a designer is going to take with respect to submissions for approval should be taken quickly and decisively.
The contractor should be allowed to take subsequent steps in time to preserve the construction schedule and other objectives as much as possible.
The form of the architect's response should be written. An example of what-not-to-do comes from a recent case, where we found evidence that the architect had sometimes responded to the contractor's requests for information RFI by providing sketches on the unpainted walls of rooms under construction. No matter how narrow or broad the scope of architect's responsibilities, the architect typically has an express obligation to take all actions with reasonable promptness so as not to cause a delay in the work.
Even if "reasonable promptness" is not specifically defined in terms of the number of days considered acceptable, the durations may be established by customary practice, by confirmation or clarification at early job meetings, or by calling attention to specific requirements in the appropriate correspondence as individual situations may dictate. Common activities that the architect will normally be required to perform at such "reasonable" speeds include:. The architect should properly, and completely, respond to the usual and unique situations within either the stated or implied time constraints.
If not, he or she will risk bearing the responsibility for any resultant damages. The architect has a responsibility to satisfy himself or herself that the work is being performed in accordance with the contract documents.
The architect is not responsible to be intimately familiar with every nut and bolt of construction as the work is progressing. It is the respective trade contractors who are responsible to install the work correctly in the first place. The activities that make up this ongoing evaluation of the work as determined specifically in most contracts include the following:. The architect is often responsible for making regular visits to the jobsite to familiarize himself or herself generally with the progress and quality of the work.
As we discovered in a recent case , it is usually not enough to review the progress photos and try and get the picture of job progress through the correspondence. He or she must be on the site to confirm that the work is progressing along the lines of that expected as the work is progressing. It is not reasonable, for example, to wait until all the brick is up before the architect determines that the color of the mortar is not close enough to the sample to be considered acceptable.
Finally, the architect should be available on a periodic basis and any other time when needed to answer questions and resolve minor conflicts as quickly as possible, without having to cause the contractor to hunt unreasonably for the answers. This function may actually be split between the architect and the owner, or incorporated within the activities altogether.
The idea is to have the testing of the work as it is being performed as an activity performed and paid for by some owner's agent, as opposed to the contractor, to avoid conflict of interest. As always, clear language in the contract is a vital part of this division of labor. The architect is responsible to either determine entirely or to confirm the owner's evaluation of the fitness of the work, along with the associated dollar value.
This, in some ways, is the most powerful duty of all since each person on the project will be looking to the results of this evaluation for payment and for completion. The lending institution often requires such approval before disbursements. In the event of any dispute, it is almost always this evaluation that forms the basis for later litigation or for approval of change orders or overtime.
The owners and the architect must clearly and without ambiguity determine in the contractual documents the scope, power, and authority for this particular set of tasks. It is unusual to find many express warranties of architects and their engineers in most construction agreements.
These designers do, however, implicitly warrant that they have exercised diligence, competence, skill, and good judgment throughout the design process and contract preparation. Moreover, they are to have performed all the deeds in accordance with the professional standards of the community in which the work is to be constructed. Except for the most obvious errors, the contractor has the right to assume that the information provided in the contract documents is complete and sufficient to allow an accurate estimate.
More subtle deficiencies that become apparent as the work progresses are then the responsibility of the party who caused or contributed to the deficiency. A very experienced subcontractor once commented to the writer over a beer that if he sinned outrageously in this life God would probably send him back in the next life as either a slug or an architect.
The former if God wanted to humiliate him, the latter if God wanted to have him despised by everyone. An architect once commented when told of the above story that creating beautiful things alone is difficult; creating them by committee almost impossible; creating them by committee on a deadline and with a budget a task fit only for a deity and thus it is no wonder architects are feared and respected.
But perhaps the best comment came from the wife of the architect who was joining us at dinner at the time and commented that only Gods would have the audacity to attempt such tasks…or men who thought they were Gods. She smiled as she said that. But she did not look amused.

Home articles architect responsibilities and disputes. The following are the typical project obligations of the architect and the rest of this article shall discuss them in detail: 1. Specific design not design criteria.
Workability of the design. Code compliance. Interpretation of the documents. Submittal review and approval. Prompt and timely response. Evaluation of the work, often as part of release of payment provisions. Such work description typically includes two components: 1. Technical specification. Responsibility for identification. This may happen whether or not the action is properly predicated on the contract documents via the inclusion of language, such as the following from a recent case: "The contractor is responsible to furnish whatever is necessary to ensure a complete and properly functioning system, regardless of whether or not shown in the contract documents.
For instance, A includes language such as: "The Architect will be the interpreter of the requirements of the Contract Documents and the judge of the performance there under by both the Owner and the Contractor. That action is comprised of components such as: A Conformance with Requirements This involves a detailed review of every significant component to confirm that the item proposed meets all design and performance criteria originally specified.
B Provide Missing Design Information In many instances, complete preparation of a submittal is not possible, because design information and dimensions are missing.
