Poor, poor Leliana. A victim of female jealousy and competition that surpass the Orlesian game in hatred and malevolence. (Nice drawing Mel!)

Can't speak for Mel, but I was mentally setting Leliana aflame long before the DLC That Shall Not Be Named.

I can verify this. I even mentioned that Addai would hate it when she found out that Lel and Ali were linked in DLCTSNBN (and offered up a Maricstair to soften the blow!).

Much like Alistair is a victim of male Jealousy. Long before DSC.

However, I was njot terribly offended by her relationship with Alistair in DSC. In fact, I was rather pleased, to be honest. If nothing else, it shut up alot of the whiny boys claiming Alistair was gay or asexual.

Leliana, however, is terribly annoying to me because she is far to feminine, frivolous, and girly for my liking. Morrigan and Shale are far more my speed. I prefer total and complete ****es to hang around, as opposed to shoe-crazy god-bunnies. :wizard:

I don't get it. Leliana is an amazing character, trying to cope with what happened to her. Very interesting contradictions, damaged of course. I really like her.

Do you really want to hear it?  There are Leli-lovers about, so I'll confine it to two words:  Boring and annoying.

Hence why the DLC was such an insult, since it implies that my PCs who romance Alistair are equally boring and annoying.

I've gotten over it.  Sort of.

And yet we manage to get along even though we all have our own characters who are nailing Alistair (photo-documented, even). By your metric, we fail as women. Posted Image

And I appreciate your attempts at pre-emptive therapy, even if the idea of Leliana running her hands through Maricstair hair makes me want to burn a lot more than just the bard.

Isn't it ironic that calling it the DLC That Shall Not Be Named requires a lot more typing and thought than was put into the actual product?

That doesn't make much sense. If girls had to be jealous, they would be so vis a vis Morrigan who is Leliana's superior multiplied by 10.

Unless all of you came to the realisation that Morrigan is so much better than you, that jealously is moot and useless. Makes sense I guess.

If you prefer, we can spam the thread with screenshots of Alistair about to cut off Loghain's head with a sword taller than he is.  Those are pretty cool, too.

Do that. I don't know why you would, but still.

Edit: And that is Maricstair.

Hence, it is not simply a case of jealousy. It is more a case of strong dislike for a weak, clingy, ninja-love female who is incredibly irritating with her rather vomtous excess of syrupy ribbons and lace femininity.

But if we were to go by the jealousy theory, then Leliana makes much more sense, because leliana is far more a competitor for Alistair's affections than Morrigan. Morrigan and Alistair dislike one another in game, Alistair has to be coerced and bullied into sleeping with Morrigan.

Leliana, on the other hand, is much more a likely candidate to attract Alistair.

Unless all of you came to the realisation that Morrigan is so much better than you, that jealously is moot and useless. Makes sense I guess.



You mean Morrigan "I'm in it for the lawlz?"

Sorry. Morrigan is awesome, but I am so well and truly above and beyond all that, your amusing supposition barely registers. :P

Agreed. No problems with Leliana, here. I like her, too. And a relationship between her and Alistair seems perfectly logical in the absence of the PC.

Yeah I kinda liked Leliana. Although Morrigan and Shale would most likely be my BFFs cause I share the same humor and disdain for certain things; Lei would be nice for a shopping buddy.....If she kept her mouth shut
most of the time, didn't talk about the Maker, or bring that freaky bunny-pig thing.[smilie]../../../images/forum/emoticons/angry.png[/smilie]

Concerning the relationship with Alistair. yeah I was kinda annoyed but I understood. He needs someone to  talk/connect to; he hates Morrigan, Wynne's too much like a grandmother, and Sten is..well..Sten. Overall, I'm just glad he didn't die a virgin.

Is that all? Pfft.

I can summon chaos with a thought, command the loyalty of legions of pissed off cats with the apocolypse on their minds, and strike fear and terror into the hearts of goatherders all over Spain with the mere mention of my nime. Lightning's child's play.

As for the eyes, well...I'll pass on yellow eyes. Someone might think I have jaundice or some other horrible liver degenration. Green suits me just fine.

Now I shall sit here upon my mighty throne of amused detatchment and undress Alistair in my mind for the 50th time today. With my tongue.B)

Okay, I don't actually hate Leliana, but I hate hate hate hate hate the idea of Alistair/Leliana. Two reasons why I think it would never work, from the Conversations thread.

Sandtigress wrote...

Why a romance between Alistair and Leliana never took off.


Alistair: Here, look at this.
Leliana: Its a rose! Oh, how beautiful!
Alistair: I picked it in Lothering. I know I should have left it alone...
Leliana: In...Lothering? Not in the Chantry gardens...
Alistair: Well, yes. When we stopped to talk to the revered mother about Sten...
Leliana: You...picked...the Maker's rose..., Oh, how could you?
*Leliana runs off into the night*
Alistair: I, ah....What just happened here?

^ Yes, the PC heard tale of some rumors about a DLC that shall go unmentioned....


Alistair: I guess you've heard what, uh, they're saying. You know, about us.
Leliana: I have indeed, and it is most amusing to consider. And a little flattering, I would say.
Alistair: Flattering, maybe. But what would we even talk about?
Leliana: The Chantry?
Alistair: About how I hated the idea of being its servant and you sought it out?
Leliana: Hair?
Alistair: Mine looks pretty good the way it is, I think. What's there to talk about?
Leliana: Shoes?
Alistair: Well...I do wear them...
Leliana: This is a terribly unpromising start to our imagined romance.
Alistair: *sigh* I'm going to see if she'll even still go to bed with me.
Leliana: And I'm going to imagine her....covered in caramel pudding.
Alistair: ...:blink: *grabs PC and dives into tent*
Leliana: I knew we'd find something we both liked eventually.


Edited cause that formatted really ugly...

This is the first time I mentally undressed Alastair. And I was amazed at my tongue strength and flexibility to be able to open those buckles.

I still want to meet a woman (or man for that matter) with yellow eyes IRL.

Huh green is my favorite eye color. Naturally because mine are green...well hazel but predominantly green.
Still, Morrigan's yellow eyes are like magic Posted Image

After six months of playing I finally explored some alternate endings, and I'm feeling a bit blue. First I played a male warden who let Loghein live, while an unhardened Alistair walks away (my warden married the witch Anora, too).

Then I went back to my female warden who lived, but married Alistair off to the witch Anora...hated that. I just finished letting my female warden die while Alistair married the witch Anora thinking he'd have the warden with him as well *sniffle*

I can't even do the new DLC yet...still working my way into it. This discussion is helping, though, thanks.
