Morrigan is going to be too busy worshipping Mike Hawke to care about the Warden anyway.



Lol, Sandi! These Mahariels just love each other... a lot...

It comes with being a Dalish. Bonding with someone farther away than cousin is taboo there.

Yuki has a secret!  Kinky.

You know it

I just made a dalish named Zariel Mahariel. What does it say about my maturity level that a rhyming name makes me giggle??

Then I'm not the only one who felt that dueling banjos would have been a far more appropriate background tune when meeting Zathrien's clan.

Sort of.  But he'll be involved for female PCs if they ever do a resolution of the DR plot line, and the epilogues talk about mysterious disappearances and the like.  That doesn't sound like "and they went off into a sunset" endings, but Gaider is talking like that's how we should take it.

Yeah, I don't see what we've been left with as a happy ending at all. If the scenario is that you 'rode off into the sunset,' that's a pretty crappy ending. For one thing, if you're married to Alistair, and he's king, you disappear by yourself. Or is it if you aren't...? No matter. One way or another, someone leaves without him. And if he goes with you, Fereldan loses a king, and with no arrangements for sucession, or heir, that we know of.

We also don't know how questions from the Orlesian wardens were resolved regarding the dark ritual, or why Alistair was called to Weisshaupt (in the endings where that occurs), or how long he was kept there.

Not do we know what was happening in the Bannorn that made Alistair break his promise to return to Amaranthine, instead meeting the PC at the gates of Denerim after it was all over.

There's no ending here, just a dangerous disappearance that goes completely unresolved.

No, Alistair's story is not necessarily finished. There are many possibilities how he could end up if you didn't have him killed or sacrificed, not all happily ever after or king.  And the DR adds further possibilities.

Which is why I hope another expansion, not simply some pissy little DLC, comes along to wrap up the many loose threads involving Morrigan, Alistair, and many things. The DR, Flemeth, the Architect, just off the bat need serious closure.

If Alistair is even mentioned in DA2 I will be thrilled x3

Cammen is living proof. And I expected the storyteller to just go "We don't take kindly to you folks around here".

TBH I'd love that.  Really I would.  But DA2 makes it pretty clear that Morrigan's DR story is moving forward without the Warden, so I wouldn't count on Alistair being tied into that. 
I guess there's the chance of some small DLC involving Alistair's disappearance but who knows? <_<

The multitude of possibilities would actually be a liability in dealing with him in the future as, at the very least, there's King Alistair, Warden Alistair, and Drunken Exile Alistair.

Okay, I did that web thing that tests your writing and tell you who you write like....
http://iwl.me/
Who the heck is David Foster Wallace?

EDIT: A perusal od Wikipedia suggests that might be a good thing.

Someone I write like as well apparently.  *grin* Somehow, I get a feeling EVERYONE who goes to that site writes just like he does.

Edit: I tested one of my longer posts here -- this time, I write like Dan Brown.  It's not that my writing style changed between the two samples I used; it's just that David Foster Wallace apparently likes to write longer paragraphs than Dan Brown does.

Gah, now they're saying they'll publish my book!  GO ME!

I disproved my first theory by going back with a different writing sample.  I write like two people.  I'm too amazing 

[errant_knight]

Heh, the analysis is probably pretty vague. I got the first one for the story I'm writing in the Dragon Age fandom, but when I tried a couple from a different fandom, I got Arthur C. Clarke and Dan Brown. I'm good with Clarke. Brown? Not so much....

I got David Foster Wallace once and Chuck Palahniuk for a different text.  Pretty sure that website is BS and is probably installing viruses on our computers as we speak.

Yeah, that page claims i write like both David Foster Wallace and Vladimir Nabokov, based on two pretty large pieces taken from a single story no less. I suspect if i put in more samples the analysis would end up even more awesome.

[errant_knight]

Well, you can tell something about your style. All the writers I got have a casual, conversational style.

I just posted some of my texts from the forum and apparently I write like James Fenmore Cooper!?!  I'll have to read, "The Last of the Mohicans" again and see if this is true.

Someone should put some text in from one of the authors themselves, and see if they write like themselves Although not from one of their most poplular works, since those are probably what was entered into their system.

This. I really want an expansion that deals with everything that has been brought up with some REAL closure. Not just this kind of handwave 'and they disappeared' thing.  I like all my loose threads accounted for.

Also -- there can never be enough Alistair, so even if the developers consider him all nicely wrapped up with a pretty bow (which I..ahem.. don't mind, either!) I still want to see more of him.

I entered part of Harry Potter and got JK Rowling.
