With nugs. And scarecrowes. I think at one point the crossdressing dwarf appears.

Surprise, Alistair!! :D


I still say it's what he really wants. He just doesn't know it yet.

*raises eyebrows* I see you've read it. You can ignore the sweaty bits, it's ok.

Yes I have, since the vast majority of Fanfictions are about human nobles or Alistair things ( I won't insult a proper writter by calling Alistair stuff actual writting ).

I must say I like it, though you could do with less Zevran sex ( A LOT LESS ). However you have done something I didn't expect. You made Alistair even MORE annoying then he already was for me!

Now about the anvil. Well if you believe in second chances then perhaps the best way to do it is to side with Branka then have her destroy the anvil, or simply just give her the anvil so she can make some sweet golems. 

Many dwarves were presses to be made golems by a mad king. I can see Bhelen only sending his political enemies truth be told. and hey the less dwarf nobles sitting on their asses and actually doing some fighting the better!

I wonder your char will react to Alistair if you spare Loghain, will she simply become so enraged as to kill him herself right there?

I can see Alistair being quite vanilla in bed. It doesn't go beyond the silk scarf terratory, i reckon.

ANYWAY LET'S TALK ABOUT NOBLE HUNTERS for reasons not all to do with my fic.

I got an OC I love to pieces and she's a noble hunter. Thing is, I don't want her to be pregnant and/or have had a kid. How long are noble hunters sponsored do you think by their patrons before they become courtesans and entered into the house?

Look it's not the main part of the story or anything, and I'll admit I tagged it as a Zevran secondary character so I could get more hits (lol) but how Missa views sex and/or her approach to relationships are kind of important to the character development, I'll say. Not going to lie to you and say that it not be sweaty. I am conscious of trying to not make it the main theme of the story, there are other things to write about too.

Also, fun fact: the chapters with the sweaty bits in are apparently the most read according to the stats. This made me lol.

However you have done something I didn't expect. You made Alistair even MORE annoying then he already was for me!


I'm trying to toughen him up! Honest! Missa likes him really, in a kid brother *hair ruffle* way. I actually like Alistair, he's meant to grow up in the story. Will endevour to make him less whiney in the next chapter, then.

Now about the anvil. Well if you believe in second chances then perhaps the best way to do it is to side with Branka then have her destroy the anvil, or simply just give her the anvil so she can make some sweet golems.

I need to research the anvil again, to be honest. The game decisions I've made don't reflect the story at all. Return to Orzammar has a lot to explore; mother issues, nto being casteless anymore, leske, Bhelen, rica... As well as the whole deep roads itself. I need some serious planning before I attempt to write it, I've only done bits and pieces so far.

I wonder your char will react to Alistair if you spare Loghain, will she simply become so enraged as to kill him herself right there?


You'll see :D

I've played a DNF, romanced Alistair, who left me after I spared Loghain. I cried through the finale at having to slay the Archdemon without him as my tank. Won't do that again. I'm playing a DCF and a DNM right now. My DCF won't have a romance this time around, and who knows with my guy. I just can't see him with Morrigan.

I must say though, that I am so looking forward to thwarting my brother Bhelen's plans for the throne.....Posted Image

I'm glad there's no game option to do that. If you feel that Alistair refusing to be a Warden anymore if Loghain is spared means that he deserves to die (which I don't) then just let Anora have him killed to avoid later rebellions. Dong it yourself right in front of the Landsmeet is NOT justified and the fact that Riordan doesn't say anything about the Warden not tolerating people leaving and what he says when you ask if Loghain would even be loyal imply that they feel he's still a Warden and are okay with him just ending up in Orzammar at the end (and Jory's death was more because he knew too much and Alistair isn't really at risk to share things. Quite the opposite, in face...). If you kill him as a knee-jerk reaction to Alistair's knee-jerk reaction to Loghain joining the Wardens then you're a hypocrite and killing him outright in front of everyone at the Landsmeet just convinces everyone you're dangerously violent, possibly unstable, and have no impulse control. None of the non-Wardens will ever understand your 'you can never leave the Wardens' mentality and trying to explain it won't endear the GWs to them. They'll just see you killing the candidate for King and worry that you don't have a problem murdering important people for disagreeing with you. Seriously, there would be all sorts of negative consequences and your PR would suffer immensely. If he must die, for whatever reason, let Anora do it. From her it's a show of strength and a practical move.

What you going to do with the anvil Missa? :P


I'm leaning towards destroying it, as it makes some delicious casteless angst, especially when you discover what they did to make golems.

I haven't been able to bring myself to not destroy it once (although whether I side with Branka or Caridin depends on the playthrough) because Branka feels feeding her entire House including her love to darkspawn is a rational decision and she'll be in charge of operating it,  Harrowmont can't be counted on to be strong enough to stop her, and Bhelen is kind of evil. I'm not against the idea of the Anvil on a strictly volunteer basis but I sure as hell don't trust these people not to misuse it.


heh thats the opposite of me by far Iv only destroyed the anvil twice and iv played hte game over 8 times =/

Never said I didn't like what you did to him. Ahem. my fanfiction has well....dying from a searing sword impaled in his heart.


Sarah1281: That's reasonable, but I really don't care about reason when dealing with Alistair. His fangirls and himself certainly have none of it!

By fangirls I don't mean those like yourself, but I mean THOSE fangirls.

*looks around nervously*

But don't you know that being his (human) queen and marrying him and living happily ever after with apparently no repurcussions for your decisions is the only RIGHT ending this game has? Ever?

obviously!

(I still regret not executing Alistair with Xander though I have no idea why I let him be OoC at the moment when Alistair could hav easily been used as a puppet by certain individuals*cougheamoncough*to help legitimize any rebellions against he and Annoyras monarchy

that can still be rectified though since I have a save prelandsmeet

I don't even know why they give you the option to play as a male, dwarf, elf, or mage, really. Maybe just so the stupid parts of the game that DON'T revolve around vengeance on Howe and putting Alistair on the throne feel more bearable. And isn't it a shame Alistair's big romantic proposal right after you name him King was cut at the last minute because the writers knew that Alistair's proposal was something too epic and romantic for them to try to capture?

If you consider letting him sleep with Morrigan for both of you to survive, then by all means!

Let's not forget about having yet ANOTHER bastard heir to the Fereldan throne!

Aeducan keeps unhardened!Alistair around in her universe, and I actually orefer writing "old married couple" Aeducan/Alistair as it makes for some delicious drama, especially when Aeducan gets bossy. ALISTAIR WE ARE DOING THIS, NO ARGUMENTS.



.Mahariel put him on the throne with Anora and recruited Loghain. And then went emo over Morrigan.



Missa put him on the throne, and I have to work out if she befriends Anora or not and forces Alistair to marry her. Ehehehe.

Don't be silly! Queen Cousland is so badass she'll get pregnant by sheer force of will if she has to!

If I play a human noble, obviously they're going to end up on the throne. Everyone else puts hardened Alistair and Anora on the throne because no one felt like coddling him after Goldanna rejected him and Eamon agrees it's the strongest argument to put forth at the Landsmeet (not that he actually wants to go through with it of course). Whether Loghain lives or not is really the biggest variation between characters as far as the Landsmeet goes.

This is a DWARF thread, not some bloody stupid white knight Alistair romance thread. :P 

ALL threads will descend into an Alistair or a Zevran thread at some point if it goes on long enough.

I think it helped that it was my first playthrough so I didn't realize how awesome the other (read: dwarf) origins were yet and I hadn't gotten into the fandom to see how overdone the HN is. Of course, since I didn't know how to do otherwise, Alistair was unhardened so he was basically just there to look pretty while the Warden was off running the country...is it any wonder I love the DN origin so much? Posted Image

The do love each other, my aeducan/ali, but not in the puppies and unicorns way. Aimo sorry I've been so slack with writing, today I got distracted by work and spent the last two hours in a true blood/prince/zevran/lulz explosion.

URGH I am a bad internetbb, no *sis-fists* for me until it's done!

I've probably started about 5 dwarves or so but have scrapped every single one of them. I just can't seem to play them through to the end.

Now, if they actually had more story outside of the origin and you could have a complete party of dwarves...I may have been able to do it. I don't consider Shale to be one of the stout folk.

I LOVED the origin stories for them though. Unfortunately they are incredibly short (no pun intended).

It is a shame that the return to Orzammar isn't as fun as the origin.

Mine's like gathering dust in the corner, and she's pretty staying so for the long run. Even if I do continue, I don't think I'll choose the Queen option in favour of marrying off her lubby Alistair  to Anora bcos srzly, two Grey Warden as monarchs with no hope of spawning new Theirins? Can we say hello succession civil war in 20 years? I guess that's also another reason I put Anora on, because it's a small step in breaking the cycle of blood as the perceived sole criteria for the throne?

( I think I also can't bear the thought of Couscous' dad lecturing her
non-stop from the Fade for not putting duty ahead of the self like good
Couslands should.)

My M!Cousland has no problems kicking Alistair out and being Anora's Prince-Consort though. He knows who's the boss, and gets petted for that nicely :D

Continued playing my F!Brosca for a bit just now. Satisfying indeed to gut Beraht after he called my Klara a ****.

It's okayyy! Work first, and gif recreation is good for stress relief. I myself need to work on your Missa, but the pillow looks mighty tempting after all that card-drawing...

You can still make everything all about you to a comparable extent with the Alistair-love/HN Landsmeet situation if you want to and everyone else acts like there's nothing strange about it.
