Obviously, Teagan has visited Wonders of Thedas.  Hence his heavy eyebrow-waggle to the female mage.  "I could think of many reasons why a man would be so...  *hubba hubba*... brave."

I had to let Teagan say that in front of Alistair so A. would get the hint.  Posted Image


Omgosh I freakin' MELT every time he says that.

Yes, you do. I can't go a game without doing so :P

How is Leliana preachy just because she expresses her views? She doesn't force them on anyone, she just wants to be accepted. wynne, on the other hand, is preachy. However, she's just trying to help, her heart is in the right place, and she can be made to admit when she's wrong, which is something most other companions never do.

I just can't even talk to either of them anymore.  On my last mage PC, I did have her go back and get Wynne because there was a certain perverse, head-banging satisfaction in tormenting her every once in a while about how much EMF hated the Circle, loved Zevran etc.

Leliana- I let Alistair talk my PCs into taking her along, in order to get Sten.  That's about the end of her usefulness to my party.  Hurrah for ZevranASAP and Lock Bash mods.  Posted Image  I often play rogues anyway.

It's just different strokes.  My husband likes Leliana and his male PCs generally romance her.  My HNM flirted with her and got the freak-out over Morrigan even though he never looked at Leli again.  I was actually impressed by her apology later on, though.  Edit:  Oh, and HNM got the best ever responses to Wynne's preachy "you shouldn't be cavorting with that witch" sermon.  So much better than any female PC gets!!  Hilarious.

Leliana is my romance of choice, followed by Alistair. Never played male more than a few minutes so no Morrigan and only completed Zevran once to see what it was like/the achievement, who creeps me the hell out more than anything.

I
suppose so, and yet I catch myself frowning. I am continually confused
by people not liking her.. this isn't a conversation I want though, I
am going away for a while.

EDIT: I may
not seem like it but I'm actually having an amazingly ****ty day
anyways. Even though I love her eternally and consider her to be the
one and only single love of my life, my relationship with my amazing
and spectacular GF may be coming to a close very shortly. I mean,
I've seen this coming for months, and I know she loves me, but I'm
doing most of the giving and she's doing most of the taking, and she
continually refuses to acknowledge that some things she does hurt me. I
suppose to her, they are small, so it's invalid, and I shouldn't be
hurt. I must simply be acting ridiculous to feel that way about this
specific situation, at least in her eyes. So one way or another,
something is changing between us very shortly, and it couldn't have
come at a worse time in our lives as there are other things going on..
when it rains it pours I suppose.

I leave for a while.

Hmm, venting to total strangers on an open forum, why yes, that does make me feel oddly better.

Some people just don't go for the syrupy sweet, the crazy, the religious stuff, the ninja love, etc., not to mention the creepy turn she takes when she finally talks about being a bard.  But I won't persist in explaining if it's upsetting!  This is supposed to be Ali love, anyway.

On that note...

See my edit above, I'm honestly already upset and probably have no business being here right now.



I think I will lay down.

@SurelyForth: What specializations do you give DW Alistair? I kept templar as his first, but I'm wondering what to do with the 2nd. I usually give him Champion. You said you like Reaver? How do you explain RP-wise giving the poor boy such skills?

So quick question: say your PC is leaving Amaranthine and she's bringing back some skill books for Alistair. What would you pick up as his third specialisation? I've been wavering between Spirit Warrior and Guardian. Both make sense and now I've managed to tangle myself up trying to choose.

I'd go with guardian. Spirit warrior seems to controversial for him.

Spirit warrior and templar. He'd do this just on the off chance to ****** off the Grand Cleric at a convenient opportunity.
I thought the description said that templars don't really seperate mages (arcane warriors) from spirit warriors. Oh, the irony.

Still, Guardian would probably work even better from an RP perspective.

Then again, he's DW warrior in my games now. I wish you could cross-specc him into a warrior-rogue. There must be a mod to do this!

I'd go with Guardian. Seems to fit him, I think.

Spirit Warrior would make sense for his templar abilities and interest in the arcane, I guess.  But I haven't done much with the warriors in Awakening so the specializations aren't that familiar to me.

I'm just really feeling the lack of templar-specific flirt lines in this game.  That uniform dialogue so needed one.  As Morrigan might say, "I'm evil and I need to be punished."  LOL

Alistair probably would not care for his GF taking pick-up lines from Morri, however.

@Aisyna -- *virtual hug* I am sorry for your difficulties. =/



Re: Teagan -- I was stunned when I discovered I could have that conversation with him on a dwarf. It seemed a bit out of character since dwarves are supposed to be not that common, but that just further supports how awesome he is. Certainly takes on a new meaning when he says he could think of reasons why a man would be so brave. :D

Oh, because it's supposed to be cavorting with Fade spirits or something?

Yeah, I was tempted to say Spirit Warrior for those reasons too, but I think Guardian fits better still.

Well, there is his challenge to Oghren at the end of the game, which is pretty funny and shows that he likes dwarves.

Does Ali have any dwarf-specific lines?  The only one I can recall is the one about burial practices, in which he wasn't especially complimentary.  Sad since the same discussion he has with a Dalish PC is so sweet.  It was one of the first cracks in my DEF's "shemlen men=bad" armor.

Yes, it's too close to becoming an abomination. Even though he isn't a fully learned templar, he has similar values.

But then again, I haven't been obsessing over Alastair, analyzing his every word, so I might be wrong.

My main DW Warrior is Reaver/Champion and I give Alistair Templar/Champion. I can't RP anything else for him, really. War Cry is good because it can offset the fact that dual wielders have no real immunity to knock-downs. If everyone else is on their ass, they can't be throwing you on yours. The whole knock-down thing is also why I like Reaver, because I can freeze an ogre with Frightening Appearance and not spend the whole fight on my back.

In Awakening, I fell in love with Spirit Warrior, despite the annoying visuals.

If there was a way to do that, hopefully it would be able to unlock those adorable stealth lines he has as well. <3

Yeah his talk about the burial rites of the dwarves usually ends up insulting my dwarves (and I like playing dwarves a lot).

"Don't be so ignorant. Those are our customs."

He gets butthurt and ends the conversation lol.
