看了凡鸟大人的调查，也来谈谈自己对Aribeth，对原版战役（OC）剧情的看法。但偶必须承认自己是A姐的fans[s:6] ，所以我尽量用OC中的原文来描述。
在最初的剧情蓝图中，对Fenthick死去时的描述是这样的，大家可以和OC的剧情做下对比：
"Fenthick is hung and Desther burns at the stake, a testimony to the hundreds he consigned to the funerary pyres of the plague-struck city. As his own body is consumed by the flames, Desther makes triumphant reference to the prophecies of the Old Ones. A mute witness to these horrible events, Aribeth flees the city, heading for the wilderness and its solace."
“Fenthick被判处绞刑，而Desther，作为把这座饱受瘟疫困扰的城市中的数百死者送上火葬堆的回应，被处以火刑。随着身体被火焰吞噬，Desther胜利地高呼着上古之民的预言。在默默见证了这些恐怖后，Aribeth逃离了无冬城，奔入荒野中寻求慰籍。”
而主角再次得到她的消息时：
"This dreadful array is led by the tragic and newly empowered figure of Aribeth, General of Generals…"
“率领这支恐怖大军的是悲剧性的人物，Aribeth，General of Generals…”
Bioware改变了这个情节（当然，还有很多其它东西）。我们都知道Aribeth在Port Llast的梦，但是这些梦是从何而来？（中文的翻译不一定准确，所以我把原文也贴出来了。）
#1─玛格瑞姆的日志
"Desther is dead, but Morag has promised me a far greater ally - the Lady Aribeth de Tylmarande herself! My Queen speaks to the young paladin through her dreams, feeding her hatred and bending her to our will! Soon she will be ours!"
“Desther死了，但Morag承诺会给我带来一个更加强大的盟友─Lady Aribeth de Tylmarande本人！吾后在这个年轻圣武士的梦中对她讲话，煽起她的恨意，使她屈服于我们的意志！很快她就是我们的了！”
#2─Haedraline
"The one you call Aribeth has fallen under Morag's spell. Some terrible fate left her vulnerable to Morag's corrupting evil. My Queen touched her mind through her dreams, feeding a dark and festering hatred until it consumed all else. Aribeth is a slave to Morag's evil now."
“被你称作Aribeth的那个人已经深陷在Morag的法术之中。悲惨的命运使她难以抵挡Morag腐化人心的邪恶。我的女王通过梦境触及她的内心，煽起一股黑暗、怨毒的恨意，这股恨意吞噬了一切。Aribeth现在已经是Morag邪恶力量下的奴隶了。”
#3─Aribeth
"And I have been too long under Morag's power. The Queen has a... a hold on me. I could not stand with you against her, even if... even if I wanted to. I cannot help the city."
“我已经被Morag的力量影响太久了。这个女王具有…具有支配我的能力。我无法和你一起面对她，即使…即使我想要那样做。我帮不了这座城市。”
#4─Aarin
"The noble paladin earns my pity, friend. Her heart has been broken and her faith shaken... I do not think 'well' is a word that will describe her ever again. I am informed that she has been plagued by terrible nightmares that keep her from rest. She speaks horrid things in her sleep, frightening the servants. I can only imagine what the elf sees when she closes her eyes. She will not confide in me, nor will she agree to return to Neverwinter. I worry for her, truly."
“朋友，我很同情那个高贵的圣武士。她现在心力交瘁，信仰动摇…我想“好”这个字再也无法用到她身上了。有人通知我她正被恐怖的恶梦困扰，无法休息。她在睡眠中自语着恐怖的事情，吓坏了她的佣人。我只能想象是那个精灵在闭上眼睛的时候看到了什么。她不肯向我透露，也不同意返回无冬城。我为她担心，真的。”
#5─Aribeth, 关于恶梦
"No. No, they are not alike at all. The dreams in the mountains never frightened me as much. They didn't make me feel so helpless and alone..."
“不。不，它们一点也不像。在山脉中的梦从没有让我这么害怕过。它们没有让我感觉这样无助和孤单…”
"Perhaps it is just... the dreams. They continue to come, and get worse each night, <FirstName>. I hear voices crying out, so many voices...
“或许这只是…那些梦。它们不断出现，每一晚都变得更糟，<FirstName>。我听到哭喊的声音，那么多声音…”
#6─最后，Aarin的观察
"Aribeth has stirred from her grief, but not as I'd hoped. She has replaced it with a frightening rage that she almost cannot contain."
“Aribeth已经走出了悲伤，但不是像我希望的那样。她用一种几乎无法抑制的愤怒取代了它。”

#7─奥术兄弟会之塔中的一些对话
主角─"You trust a traitor to lead an army?"
“你信任由一个叛徒来领军？”
Gurak Entraispiller (兽人特使)─
"Traitor, elf, whatever. Maugrim say he has her under control real good, so me not have much worry. If it go bad, orcs kill wizards and go home."
“叛徒，精灵，都没有关系。Maugrim说他把她控制得很好，所以我们不很担心。如果事情变坏，兽人杀法师，然后回家。”
（游戏中把这里误译为：玛格瑞姆说了，他觉得由她指挥很好…）
Yeanasha (麋鹿部落特使)─
"If the elven wench steps out of line, she'll not get far. I am assured by Maugrim, however, that this Aribeth is quite firmly under his control."
“如果那个精灵女人不听话，她是活不了太久的。但是，Maugrim向我保证，这个Aribeth被他控制得很好。”
（同样，被误译为：艾瑞贝丝在他的领导之下相当坚决。）
主角─"Who are his supporters... Aribeth?"
“谁在支持他（Maugrim）…Aribeth？”
Rimardo (东塔的高阶法师[Overwizard])─
"Yes, he... he has seduced her soul, just like all of his other followers. I do not know how, but he has pushed her to betray her own people."
“是的，他…他引诱了她的灵魂，就像他的其他追随者一样。我不知道他是怎么做的，但他迫使她背叛了她自己的人民。”
到底在Aribeth的身上发生了什么，是什么导致了这样的变化？如果她在Fenthick死后一走了之（就像在上面提到的蓝图中一样），那么，或许她真的是“决心审判无冬城，加入摩拉格”。而在最终的OC剧情中，她的“背叛”是出于自由意志，还是收到了外力的影响？她是否应该要为自己的行动负上全部责任？
或许我们还应该想到，Aribeth年轻时就在兽人袭击中失去了全家，从血腥的复仇中皈依提尔的信仰后，才在一座人类的城市中遇到了同为精灵、信仰提尔的Fanthick，这样，或许我们才能更好地理解失去Fanthick对Aribeth的打击。也就能理解为何她在面对Morag的引诱时很难保护自己了。

最后感叹一下，上面的是官方的最后一张壁纸“Aribeth的告别”，借用官网上一位网友的留言：
It says something, I think, that out of all the characters of Neverwinter it was decided on this one to say goodbye. And not after how we knew her last, but after how we knew her first... the first that we came to know, to respect, to admire, to fall for..and hopefully after how she is and how she will be.

关于幽城魔影的小小吐槽：
Bioware借着含糊其辞的办法处理了Aribeth在OC中的结局：如果玩家杀了她，那就没有什么问题；如果玩家救了她，那么，除非她自杀，否则纳舍尔就成了背黑锅的唯一人选… 最可怜的是偶们的英雄，不仅帮不上忙，而且此后还不知所终，从此人间蒸发…
不过，始终有一个问题想不明白，一个混乱阵营的灵魂为何会出现在巴托地狱中… |
