I think it is the ultimatums.  People play games often to express fantasies of control, of being in important, and in charge.  Morrigan can minus twelve all she wants, the player can just roll their eyes and buy her something pretty later.  The Landsmeet is one of the few times a companion straight up says, "No."  Which I imagine is like a bucket of cold water in the face.  Most things and characters in the game that say, "No" and don't listen to you get dead real quick.  So players probably ask themselves why the heck is their love interest/best buddy buying a ticket to Murderedville?  This reaction must be overblown.  Somebody is at fault.  It is not me, so it must be them.

One of the few other examples I can think of is when Sten challenges you for leadership, and I know people who've gotten that event and flipped their sauce.  Even though at the end of that, Sten buckles. 

I think a lot of people really hate being told "no" in a computer game.  You might've noticed that guys that REALLY like the Morrigan romance often OBSESS over getting the "right" epilogues, ie feeling her regret through her magic ring, being able to chase after her at the end of Awakenings.  I think it is because they want to veto her "no".  Like suddenly they can make it mean "Yes, I will stay with you, and we can raise our Gozar baby together!"  Dudes, she said no.  I would like to qualify that I'm a HUGE fan of the Morrigan romance.  I sort of think the option to chase her is a little creepy.

I'm suggesting that it comes down to some people not being able to give up control.  Not in a computer game where you're supposed to be the hero who everybody listens to.

I'm not a "pro-Alistair" or "anti-Alistair" fan but for me it wasn't so much as 'feeling out of control' but rather the fact no one cares what you do to Alistair. It was a total emersion breaker when no one in my party injected on his behalf or said anything to me about it. I believe I ranted on this back when this thread was young (hard to believe now right?) back some 200 pages if you want to look for it.

KoP, this thread does rule but I feel we need a Loghain thread where we can post pictures of him doing things like jump kicking dragons.







Does one already exist?

Stupid question. What is the definition of squee?

Squee A noise primarily made by an over-excited fangirl, however it has spread rapidly and is now widely spread among the web community.

Oh. Ok then!

So, I'm screenshot challenged, my forum vocabulary is small, I'm now toolset illiterate, and I lost my override folder. I don't feel so great right now.
And I've lost all my DA characters twice this month alone.

*hug* (hope that helps)

I love Alistair and even I agree with KoP for the reasons I just posted.

This pretty much deserves a...

TL; DR: Duncan tells the HN PC that a Wardens duties take precedent over everything even vengence. Alistair apparently didn't get that memo.

http://social.biowar...m/project/1019/ THIS KICKS BUTT download it! Awsome. It's for Morrigan, but if you get the "wilds robe" mod you can wear it too.

EDIT-- I really hope you guys don't mind me posting this here, but you were the audience that I wanted feed back from first.

Hopefully the ladies will cut us some slack. Too much Alistair adoration can make a guy a little insecure and tempt him to derail the thread ever so llittle...

Thanks Urshakk



And that picture just rubs in the fact that everyone else can take good screenshots. But not me.

A Loghain thread will become a battlezone almost instantely, so if you want to start one, you have been warned. (And no I do not believe one exists).

If you want to start one, I will gladly participate, though don't expect it to reach the Alisterian fanaticism level. Althought there are a few Loghainite girls out there I am sure.

To be honest, I think a thread about how great Loghain is has lost some of it's power to really upset people who loves Alistair. Now if you started a thread about Anora things would be different though...

I suck at screenshots too, I'm too slow and miss whatever I wanted to capture.

I also married Alistair off to Anora that playthrough. Not so awesome.
Kicking him in the butt with "Below the Belt" is always good for a laugh. Actually, kicking anyone in the butt with that skill makes me laugh.

Seriously guys, that morrigan robe mod is awsome. I'm wearing it as an elf, and the tattoo on the arm is kick a**.

[Urshakk]

This is offtopic... but I see a Morrigan, Alistair and Zevran fan thread but not one for Leliana. Is there one?

[cmessaz]

Not that I've seen.
Anyone recommend the best human noble origin mod? Since I am starting from scratch.

yukidama has just convinced me to be a rogue next run, just for the butt kicking goodness.

This thread however conjured a Leliana unobstructed butt shot. That's enough for me.

sleepingbelow, I hate that part even as a female.
