Yes well, apparently the "rightful" king of Ferelden doesn't give a **** about her feelings. Or anyone's really.  


And vice-versa.  *shrugs*  I can accept the limitation of the game in this manner.  If people really don't like, just rp that Loghain is taken away and gets all executey right after the landsmeet.

This is game mechanics, and not a function of Alistair's lack of concern for her or her father. There's no difference in the cutscene depending on who kills her, so it's not like he is demanding she stay so he can give her a hemoshower.

I thought it was evil until I did it. I planned to reload but this is one of the rare instances where the dialogue options were good. I was able to RP it. It would totally depend on my character. Remember the GW are charged with the blight and will do whatever is necessary. The werewolves kicked serious butt at the final battle.

You can't really know that they will follow through on their promise to help, however.  Whereas the treaty between the GWs and the Dalish has lasted for hundreds of years, the werewolves are only one small band versus many Dalish clans.  If the GWs are going to undertake murderous genocide to end the Blight, it should at least make sense.

They ask you what you want for helping and you say aid against the blight. It makes sense, Zatriene cursed how many generations of humans because of his hatred. I again am not saying this is right or wrong, but I can RP it either way. I don't enjoy playing through the game a thousand times the same way each time.


I'm different because I always strive for "the perfect character". Not to mention I tend to take breaks from games and when I come back, I usually go with my first decisions.

I can't play through the same way each time. I would be bored out of my mind. It is a really cool scene, I have a harder time justifying killing Connor than killing the Dalish. His mother is willing to die so why should I kill a child?


I tend to put my feelings into the game too much. I could probably kill the Dalish (because I effing hate that particular tribe) but I couldn't kill Connor. Luckily, they offered Isolde as a sacrifice so if I make a character not willing to go to the Mage Tower, they just kill Isolde.

I will probably never kill Connor again. I did it once to say I did.

I could maybe understand it if it was just killing Zathrian, though that would not end the curse so the humans would be stuck in their suffering anyway.  But killing his whole clan for what he did?  And it's not even a case where things just get out of control.  You have to propose such a thing first, and the werewolves look at you like you're crazy at first.  Even they were only infecting Zathrian's people in order to force his hand.  "Hey let's just kill them all"...  that's not just ruthless, it's mindlessly ruthless.

I do understand about wanting variety, but certain things won't ever make sense to me unless I decide to RP a sociopath.

People care about Anora's feelings?:blink:

I must be de-sensitized to violence (which is funny, considering I can't watch overly-violent movies) but it didn't strike me that they killed Loghain in front of his daughter and it got blood on her. My biggest issue was thinking thar Ferelden has a crappy justice system.

One day away from barbarism indeed.


My Cousland only had a problem with it. Because her father laid bleeding before HER eyes and she may hate Anora, but wishes that one noone. In my stalled fic she actually holds some resentment and guilt about that moment to work through.

I'm sorry but every time Loghain's blood splatters all over Anora I has lulz. I can't stand her. It's probably an irrational hatred too.  Seeing the More Options in the Pearl scenes with her made me throw up in my mouth a little.

Well now I wish those game mechanics were the same when Alistair's execution is ordered.

Actually no, Arcturus' sword cutting off his head would be too good for him.

If Alistair's head was severed and it rolled across the floor then the camera panned in to show a horrorfied Eamon it might actually make me hate Eamon less.

Well, I would lose a lot of respect for her if she left.  And my HNF should feel bad at that point, but she's not at a very good place at that point.  :/  She will feel bad after.

I'll give her credit here. She knew all along this was a possibility, she'll even tell you that if you ask her at Eamons (though telling her at that point that you DO intend to kill him is a good way to get backstabbed), Yet she stays with him through it. That's pretty strong.

I would bet anything there would be no horrified Eamon.  It's not like he tries to talk Anora out of Alistair's execution -- that would hurt his chances of becoming her chancellor after all.

Edit: Is it safe to hate on Eamon here?

The problem I have with this is that Alistair has committed no crimes besides being born (it doesn't seem that the Wardens have any real policy against desertion). Loghain has been found guilty and is being punished, either by execution or recruitment into the Wardens. Alistair will swear fealty and can still be executed.

Thanks a lot! would you by any chance know whether this is compatible with Combat Tweaks? Unfortunately the description says nothing about that.

If it would happen for scattershot and dual weapon sweep and stuff like that I wouldn´t mind. But if swords can avoid hurting my allies a spell should do the sameB)

Yes, it is.  Some people hate Eamon, some like him.  And some are like me where the hate waxes and wanes.

Alistair's crime is desertion of the army Arcturus and not him built and is leading. Anora's reasons are irrelevent, it's my PC who validated the execution. If Alistair was man enough to not abandon the fight, he would have never called for his execution. Because he doesn't betray his friends like that that's first. Second because Alsitair is too insignificant to be any threat to his power.
