Sometimes I refuse to answer the Guardian's question and they get options to say things like "Now I am really curious what you feel about it" or "One wonders why you won't answer a simple question when your refusal says so much more".  Makes dialog with Bryce different too. Something about the Maker seeing the rage still in her heart she tries to hide and that its time to let go (I think) Its been a while since i did a playthrough with a HN.  I think I will run another noble through next time.

Gonna have to try this 1 next time lol. 


See so many reason's to keep replaying and making new PC's lmao

It fits really well with a stoic PC (Think Bree of Desperate Housewives).  The only person Valora let her defenses down for was Alistair. She would never have allowed Loghain to live, she couldn't destroy the one person she had left she could count on.

@nrnola

Its a bittersweet ending. I cried but its really my second favorite ending.  My Cousland boy took the blow. The ending epilog slides were so touching (My favorite is Sten's) and the parting at the gates is especially poignant knowing the PC and the companions being left behind are saying their last words to each other.

Well come on these are the same companions who throw a F*ing party after Alistair is turned into dragon kibbles. And then all declare you the big cheese hero cause :"you killed the archdemon". That has to be the angriest I have ever gotten in a game. I literally wanted to toss my PC out the window.

NEVER NEVER NEVER EVER doing the Warden Commander ending again. Either my boy will get it on with the swamp witch or my FemWardens will all push Alistair in there with Morrigan and tell him to get busy cause ya got a long march the next morning.

I felt the same way the first time I played a HNF pc and romanced Alistair, made him king with me beside him and the shyt goes off n sacrifices himself.  I couldn't believe that no one had anything to say, Anora pist me off the most though.  It's like what she did have to say about Alistair was an after thought.  I wanted to slap her and say the only reason why your here is because the man that rightfully belongs on this throne died to save us all, you ungrateful bytch. 

Lol sorry about the rant.  That whole scene just pisses me off.


EDIT:  I should add I've never been able to have Alistair with me in the end if I decided not to do the DR anymore lol.

We do like our stoic girls, don't we? Lya is usually pretty strong, but she breaks occassionally. And what happens when she breaks BECAUSE Alistair is injured and isn't there to comfort her? She is quite distressed.

The guardian thing... This is why I make lots of saves. It let's me go back and see different things without having to reroll/replay. As for the eulogy with an Alistair romance, it's very sad if you've never seen it. He keeps it together except for two lines. But his voice kinda hitches and then breaks and awww. ( ._.)

Edit:
"Lya wondered idly what would happen if she slid her blade through Anora’s ribs. It’s not like the woman wore armor. She would be bleeding out on the ground before the guards could do anything. If she had to hear that inane giggle one more time, she might just find out."

This is a gush post more than anything. So, I just finished my Queen Cousland playthrough an hour or two ago, and the post-coronation ceremony was just... ahh. It was so worth it. You could practically see the love radiate from Alistair. He gives you the sweetest smile after his speech (amongst other things)!



*MELT* <3

I'm wondering though, does he smile the same way if you made him king under different circumstances? Like, if you didn't harden him, or if you didn't romance him at all? Just curious.

Can't wait to hop into Awakening to see his cameo. x3

I've played the same thread you did and I just  that look....so sweet and he looks so happy. If you haven't read the David Gaider books yet, I urge you to. Alistair is so much his father's son. And there's an interesting surprise at the end. I won't tell you more than that...the end of The Calling. btw, for anyone wondering or interested...got a message from Mr.Gaider; after all the controversy over Alistair's age I took it on myself to ask the man himself....Alistair, according to him, is supposed to be 21 years old.

[Urshakk]

Another thing I don't understand about the whole Landsmeet scene:



So after the duel you accept his surrender right? Then Riordian comes and says his bit, and Alistair rebuttals, then you have to make the choice. So you select to let him take the joining and you already know Alistair isn't going to like it. So he gets mad and forces you to make a "choice" he says: "It's either me or him". He calls it a choice, but it's not really a choice at this point because you are already locked into it, you can't say: "Ok Alistair you're right, Loghain dies" You can only say "Sorry Al, not picking you" and execute him or run him off.

WOOT!  That sorta confirms it, now doesn't it?  I'm gonna assume 21 at the end of the game, since that's how the timeline would have to work.  *does a happy dance*

YES. YES THAT GIGGLE UUUGGGGH. =A=

I have a lot of saved files too. I have one just before Morrigan's offer so I can go through it now if I want, but... I'll save that for another day. The DR/married ending is still fresh in my head and I don't want to spoil it just yet. xD

He does look happy, doesn't he? I know it's the generic expression for whoever you put on the throne, but when you put things into context it has a whole different meaning. In this case... he looks so genuinely happy, and that was a heartwarming thought.

Oooo that's an interesting bit of info you got there! Thanks for sharing! He's not that far off from my estimate; I was thinking he was around 24, 25, around that number. x3

I also update on the community creations board, but two of the three stories are completed.  Going to be adding a the start of a new one shortly.  Gotta reread a few more times to make sure it flows the way I want.  Any and all feedback is greatly appreciated, btw.

Sadly, she doesn't do it.  *sighs*  She figures Alistair would disapprove of it, and she doesn't want to disappoint him.  That's the story that starts off with the poem my sig is from.  Makes me tear up a little each time I read it.

I have never seen it confirmed before. There was a lot of speculation about it, but with all the inconsistencies, it was hard to get a definitive answer. With an age put on Alistair, it does make it clearer.

I didn't get your signature, or whatever that thing on the bottom is called, on this, but when you think about it being about Alistair after he died...it really gets ya.....did me anyway...brought tears to my eyes. I guess my hubby is right...I really do love Alistair.

According to the Toolset, Alistair's age is 32. I don't know if that's ever been offcially confirmed by David.

32 seems so ridiculously wrong for his character it's not even funny.  Alistair becomes something completely different if he's that old.  I vaguely recall discussion that he was intended to be older, but it was later changed.  Could be just a holdover from earlier info.

My absolute most favoritist poem ever.
Dirge Without Music - Edna St Vincent Millay


I am not resigned to the shutting away of loving hearts in the
      hard ground.
So it is, and so it will be, for so it has been, time out of mind:
Into the darkness they go, the wise and the lovely. Crowned
With lilies and with laurel they go; but I am not resigned.

Lovers and thinkers, into the earth with you.
Be one with the dull, the indiscriminate dust.
A fragment of what you felt, of what you knew,
A formula, a phrase remains, - but the rest is lost.

The answer quick and keen, the honest look, the laughter,
      the love,-
They are gone. They have gone to feed the roses. Elegant
      and curled
Is the blossom. Fragrant is the blossom. I know. But I do
      not approve.
More precious was the light in your eyes than all roses in
      the world.

Down, down, down into the darkness of the grave
Gently they go, the beautiful, the tender, the kind;
Quietly they go, the intelligent, the witty, the brave.
I know. But I do not approve. And I am not resigned.

I don't have a link, but I remember reading that the ages in the toolset are for the voices of the characters, not representing the age.

[sylvanaerie]

LOok at his concept art. That man is much older than the Ali we have in game (or sure looks like it to me). Just hopped over to UTube to see the US for romanced PC and Al's eulogy. It was sweet (Mage). And he does break at a couple of the lines. I love the US it makes everything so much more urgent but I can never let go of Alistair if I romance him so I will only be able to do it on my boys.

Happier Millay poem.  Caught my attention for the first stanze.
Afternoon on a Hill

I WILL be the gladdest thing
Under the sun!
I will touch a hundred flowers
And not pick one.

I will look at cliffs and clouds
With quiet eyes,
Watch the wind bow down the grass,
And the grass rise.

And when lights begin to show
Up from the town,
I will mark which must be mine,
And then start down!

I've always believed Alistair was Fiona's since I read those books back in Nov. Despite what Eamon and everyone else might believe in the game, which was told to protect Alistair even more, (Maric and Fiona's idea to keep him away from the throne). I wonder if Alistair's true story will ever come out, not what we know from the game but his true parentage, if he'll ever meet Fiona.

I checked too, and was pretty shocked when I saw it. xD From what I read around the forums though, the ages listed in the toolset were just a sort of rough guide for the depiction of the characters, so that shouldn't be final.

You know, if only Gaider ninja'd into the thread and confirmed the age himself... now THAT would be awesome.

All this talk about Fiona is making me real curious... I should really pick the book up the next time I go out. Which is rare these days, sadly. *hermit*
