I like Morrigan's face best when it's expressive, but she is always beautiful (well, scowly Morrigan is kind of scary).

And cmessaz, I think I dislike you now.

Posted Image I had to do it. I have no new screenshots since I wiped my disc. Plus, it's so creepy that it is awsome.

Indeed.  My issues with Eamon are soley related to how he raised Alistair.  I've never thought he was particularly looking to somehow be the power behind the throne.  Like Loghain will tell you, Eamon is very traditional.  He wants Alistair as king, and will be around to help him, but I always saw it as more of a sense of duty than to rule from the shadows.  And hardened Alistair is gonna let Eamon get away with stuff.




I always figure unhardened Alistair is gonna do that.  Hardened Alistair is actually gonna stand up to Eamon n not take any crap.  That's why on my last playthrough I made Alistair king but had him unhardened and I was his chancellor and wife lol.  Sorry Eamon your out of the picture completely lmao. 
I don't dislike Eamon or even hate him, I just don't trust him.  Especially after finding that letter to Cailan from Eamon in RTO

The dagger is the problem. With Arcane Warrior, the Strength modifier is replaced by the Magic. Daggers I believe use dexterity moore. Try using a sword and see if that fixes this.


I will have to try that since as is the spec I'm using right now is basically useless.

Eamon is a dirty pedophile what do you expect?  Isolde would of had to have been like 14 yrs old to be that much younger than him and still have met him after the war with Orlais as implied in TST.  Dirty, dirty old man.

Eamon pushing Cailan about the heir business caused Cailan to resent Eamon and decline his troops while at Ostgar.  Eamon's men were less than a week out to not wait for them would be tactically unsound.  There had to be an ulterior motive such as resentment that caused Cailan's lapse of judgement.

In the toolset I've noticed a few lines affected by some sort of promise Alistair makes(I noticed it in the Goldanna scene, but I am on my netbook and don't have access to the toolset). Maybe I'm not remembering but what sort of promise is that? Since hardening takes place post-Goldanna, I don't think they mean that. Again, it might be something blatantly obvious I am not remembering, or maybe it was something cut from the game...?

Doesn't he promise to help her if you give her money? I never do it.

 


It's not money related - I didn't start giving her sovereigns until my later playthroughs and still got the promise part.  Its the same dialogue option though, I think.  The "Goldanna, Alistair came here looking for his family" and maybe the "Is this what you were expecting" type line.

Well, I don't know what to think of that. Since the ice queen says that Cailen "had his women". But yeah, the dude wanted him to go out on his wife to produce an heir. We already know that Alistair and the Cousland will likely not be producing one, so you know whats gonna happen there.

Addai, must you be so cruel?

I know!  I am weak, I tell you.  Weak.

I do agree with the Maricstair h8ters that the look is probably too old for Alistair in-game.  And one of the things that is charming about the Alistair romance is that he and the PC are so young.  But, it's also part of the character (in my view) that there's a kingly man inside the goofy boy.  So that's my nerdy take on part of its appeal.

The other part is that it's just so smexay.

yep, Hardened Alistair and Badass cousland will tell him where to shove it.  The fact is, Alistair's line is "they'll expect an heri"...expect, not require, not dethrone if it doesn't happen, and frankly if Anora can tell the world that the joining is dangerous, we can tell EAmon look...the fish ain't gonna swim upsteam, sorry dude. esides that, if he's as greedy, conniving, and power hungry as people think, He'd be quite happy if there was no heir and Him, or Teagan were named as heir in the event of no blood heir, so I don't see him pushing the issues that hard really. Yeah Eamon griped that Cailan didn't have an heir, and suggested he put Anora aside. But Cailan didn't do it, why would a hardened Alistair?  Him having other women was just as likely to be due to his wife being an ice queen. Or there's the idea that he got caught with his women and she simply refused to let him touch her.

Pardon typos I am on my laptop and gahhhh I can't type that well on it.

Well, Cailan sleeping w/ other women is different than Cailan actually devoricing his Queen for a more feritle wife.  Anora is after all the daughter of his father's best friend.  I think Cailan was offended that Eamon would even suggest such a thing.   At least that's the way I took it from his letter in RtO.  

I could see Eamon trying to have either Anora or HNF assassinated if they're married to Alistair since they can't bare more Theirin heirs.

He will return to camp, if romanced, only if his approval is below... I think it's 70.

Oh good. Thank you. Now if I could figure out where the "Kiss him" line suddenly came from, and why it causes silent speakingbif I choose it. I've taken out My all in one, BSC, Charsen's kisses, and tmp mods. NO romance mods installed right now at all and it's still fubar.

Sometimes he will make a promise to help Goldanna.  We discussed this else-thread and came to the conclusion that you only get this with a male PC.  That scene shocked me because suddenly Goldanna turns from her usual genlock charm to something approaching a human being and says, "well, I guess a royal bastard is still a bastard" in a softer tone, and Alistair makes a rather moving, solemn promise to help her.

softer Goldanna

Except for one thing. If you're a HNF married to Alistair, then you've done the ritual. There IS a Theirin heir.

Dialogue Tweaks inserts a "kiss Zevran anywhere" dialogue option.  But last I knew, cmessaz' combined romance mod knocks it out.  I haven't actually tried it on a Zev save yet.

THIS is awesome.  I approve.  :devil:

Although it reminds me of Alistair's line to the PC, "Morrigan will give me 'that look.'  You should really kick her ass for me.  I'd pay to see that fight."

Oh no... I... I don't think I can do Wynne w/ Duncan's beard... it's just too wrong.

I'm apparently doing something very WRONG on my Arcane Warrior because I'm extraordinarily underwhelmed with the damage out put. I'm running Arcane Warrior Plus and the first skill Arcane Pummel was doing like 8-14 damage a hit.

What weapon are you using?  My AWs do good damage.  Current AW has only the first rank (Combat Magic) and she's doing 20ish on a dagger hit.  Obviously, that is nothing, but as I said it's only the 1st rank and I'm mainly doing it to try out dual wield.  But with Spellweaver and all 4 ranks, my last AW would do... I want to say 70ish per hit.

Well, Eamon wouldn't know that and I somehow doubt he'd be privy to that sort of information. Also, unless things go really wrong then the demon baby won't really play into the throne. Well, if you believe Morrigan it won't, and don't go searching for her as an HNF.

Also, Eamon is quite welcome to send assassins after the HNF, that has worked out so well in the past.
