I'm going to start an elven mage, not make Alistair king and just pretend awakening doesn't exist. That is my next venture I think. It is because of all the elf/Alistair fan art I'm being subjected to.
Anyone else notice that the kiss with a human and alistair is longer? Or is that my imagination?

Sounds like a great idea.

The way I see it, he doesn't suggest it because it doesn't occur to him that this is how he can live his life. When your PC suggests it, it's like a light goes on. "You mean I can do that?" I for one am very happy to say "yes, you can do that." And because he also doesn't think he deserves happiness (he is fully expecting to lose you), I think it goes a long way for him to hear your PC say "and yes, I want to do that."

Hmm... Yeah, I have to agree with Lady on this one. :/ I'm fine with how the armor on DA looks as it is though they could really use some more variety. I guess this is a mod for those who want to flaunt their curves no matter what they're wearing. xDLadyDamodred wrote...

Ha I know the feeling about the massive armors being too bulky. The only massive armors I use on my PC are the Warden armors. I just toss the massive arcane warrior stuff on Anders if I'm using it at the time lol. There's a modder on nexus that is working on a stock armor replacer, imo it looks really good so far with the heavy and massive armors.
Heavy:

Massive:

He's also doing light armor and "maybe" robes but I don't think there are any previews up yet.
*shudders* To me, that looks so awful. :/ But hey, *I* don't have to get the mod, so it's all good.
Oh, and I've read the first few chapters of Second Chance after getting some sleep inlast nightearlier today. Nice work, I have to say. o3o
I mean, it's a mod, so if it floats your boat, go for it. I just don't understand. The practical part of my brain can't let go how bad of an idea it is. XD
Good morning ladies
I like the first armor. For me it's not really about flaunting the curves, it's more like the distinction between male and female armor. That's why I don't really care for heavy or massive armor. In fact I never wear it because it's so bulky and unshapely. Heck in all the game's I've played I always ended up wearing 1 armor set and it's Wade's medium drakonskin armor or the drakeskin armor until I found that blue set my last two playthroughs. I know it doesn't matter because I'm covered in blood and gore most of the time but I still like to wear something that distinguishes me from a male lol. Hair and make-up only go so far and usually my make-up's pretty light.
What's funny is I actually found some massive armour last night that I love but if you saw it you'd probably call me a hiprocrit because it is really sexy. (And omg I just realized I'm sounding like a prissy girly girl,and that I'm not lmao) Ends topic.

Yup, same thing. I can't ever make him not king. Alistair agrees:

I like his kingly taking-charge side and I'm dying a little inside when someone reminds me that it is his very nature to be a doormat. I know, he's insecure and not used to doing what pleases him but I often blame things on metagaming issues rather than his personality.

Ok my 2 cents: Everyone is always all "duty" and stuff with Alistair and the mistress thing. Look at Anora. She doesn't remarry because of her dead daddy. Alistair is willing to marry even though he is in love with someone else. It just sucks that there is no "despite many suiters, Alistair continued to rebuff the landsmeets calls to remarry, some thought the hero was involved" or some such. Dang my inability to convey whats on my mind. Does anyone get what I mean here?
I hear you, but to me this demonstrates that- contra to what the Alistair-haters say- Anora is the more dysfunctional as a person and a ruler. I don't want Alistair to be dysfunctional, even if it means my PC shares him. The opposite side of that is that I don't want him to be Maric as he was late in his life, doing his duty but sad and alone.cmessaz wrote...

Brings me to this: Anora is not an option. This says something about her. My point I guess is that the mistress ending, while he says sweet things, is not appealing to me. I know that I would not be able to be at court with queen nearby knowing that I'm bonin her husband. Akward! And I just would rather end the relationship than be his side dish. That is just the way I think. In the movie, Elizabeth, she says this to that one dude (my memory issues again): "You love me so much you'd have me be your wh**e?" That is what I think.LadyDamodred wrote...

So Anora fails at doing her duty, basically. Or she thinks her duty is different, and it kind of is. For Alistair, it's about blood as well. The very reason he is king, despite how good he will be at it if he's hardened, is because of his blood. That's not to say it is wrong, but there is a huge difference in what Alistair thinks he owes Ferelden and its people.

It's actually a good way to look at it. It's nice to get a new perspective on things. Look at it as a strength not as a weakness, a very good advice. My husband will be very grateful someone made me listen to reason.LadyDamodred wrote...

Perhaps I phrased it poorly. I did not mean to imply that he is a doormat. There is a difference between knowing, understanding and doing your duty and just letting people walk all over you. The problem is that no one has ever shown him you can do your duty AND be happy. For him, doing his duty has always been an awful thing, but he still does it. Look at it a strength and not a weakness. How many people could be asked to give up the only happiness they've ever known and they would do it because it's the right thing to do?

Speaking of decapitation's I got something for you cmessaz.
It's not with S&S but DW. I actually like him as DW. It seems like he's more agressive and it doesn't take him very long to plow through a group like it does when he's S&S. To me anyways.

Well, within reason. There's some stuff that simply has no explanation.

I can understand this, but this is how I see it: She's screwing my PC's husband. At least, she's doing that in the limtied time frame where they are trying to have an heir.cmessaz wrote...

power-hungry enough that this is actually giving her what she most wants. In this society, everyone knows how this game is played.

In everything but the formal, my PC is his wife, and it's only racism and the political reality that forces them to bow to the formality. The queen is the figurehead. She gets to have power, my PC gets to have the man. That is why I see Anora serving this role as preferable to Bimbo Bannorn- with Anora, you know she is a) experienced in how it works, and
As for it being degrading, yes it is, but as an elf, you live degradation in Ferelden one way or another. As chancellor-mistress, you get the last laugh.
I have saved Ferelden. I am a hero. I am going to chase my glory, and not hang around at court and cheat with Alistair. I love him, but I have developed a pride that I have never experienced, and will not degrade myself. I played through as a mistress one time to see what happens, and will never do it again. I know it is very old fasioned of me, but I won't share the man I love. I'd rather be hurt and move on, than face the daily pain of wondering what the man I love is doing right now with his wife.

This is why I say my characters are more selfish than Alistair, b/c they are not willing to give him up, even if the consequences might be terrible, i.e. Dark Ritual. My mages don't mind being on the side, since they never thought they could get married anyway. For them, they will take what happiness they can get.
