I don't care that he finds someone, I just don't think he and Leliana have any chemistry and Leliana's cutesy behavior and Alistair being a virgin with both of them wanting sex to be really special would just make it a cuteness overload.I don't know why everyone is so bent out of shape about Leliana and Alistair. Your PC is dead. They died before he even got to know them. What's he supposed to do, never date because there was a pretty girl in the joining who died? And, since there is general agreement that the 'writers' of the DLC ignored in-game characterization, what does it even matter? None of it has anything to do with anything.

Heh,I think it's pretty full of win, too. Guess that's an ad for something, huh?

Eh, I personally hate infidelity, but it's not the DLC that bothers me. It's someone implying that Alistair was really in love with Leliana when he was with the PC. Not because of the game itself but because of infidelity in real life. It leaves a bad taste in my mouth, even though I know it is a joke. That's just me acting irrationally.

Well how are we supposed to get justifiably pissed at him for getting married if we wait until a year passes for the Landsmeet and/or if we've also hooked up with Alistair/Zevran/Leliana?Gilsa wrote...
Yes, this is before Alistair is king. My plan was to make him solo king later on. The romance is active (90+). I was trying to figure out if I wasn't meeting the right conditions in the game or if the coding was preventing this from firing. If it's a lot of work, don't kill yourself. It's just one little line and I don't know that anyone will miss not seeing it in game since they tend to run to Denerim first thing to have their hearts broken by Gorim instead before they romance anyone else.ejoslin wrote...
I take it you have the romance open with Alistair but he's marrying Anora? If he's going to be solo king, then there's a deeper problem. If he's marrying Anora, it's just a couple of lines of code.
The problem I have is even though I could fix it easily for ZDF, I don't want to take out my changes to it which add flags for certain conditions for the alienage conversation. I'll edit it though for people who use ZDF and City Elf Alienage Fix.
Edit: Actually, I can't assume anything by the code. Is this before Alistair is king?
Thanks for looking -- I appreciate it.
It would be like:
LA: I can't belive you up and got married! I thought you said you loved me!
G: I'm sorry, my Lady, I never meant to-
A: Honey, is this man upsetting you?
G: Honey?
LA: *cough* About that...
G: Wait, so you're yelling at me for moving on when you did the exact same thing?
LA: At least I didn't get married!
G: That doesn't mean that if were still single we could be together. Unless you're claiming you're just using this man and would dump him for me?
A: She would never do that...would she?
LA: You know what? It was great catching up with you but I've got to...
LMAO. See, cmessaz? You think you have Alistair hate? You ain't got nothing on girls that are upset with Gorim. Where's that youtube video of those two girls griping about this?
Before I played DAO, I looked up who the four romantic interests were so I'd know who to look out for. I knew that Gorim wasn't one of them and honestly thought I would not see him again after the exile. I forgot he even told me to look for him in Denerim because wtf is Denerim? I didn't know any of the city names at that point. So when I actually ran into him again, I was like OH ****. Because I was fully in a romance with Alistair at that point and I was thinking that both men were going to kill me. I couldn't tell Gorim to be my second again because Alistair was standing right there and I was thinking oh, man, I hope he doesn't find out about Alistair. That conversation was awkward for me. When he told me he was married, oh pheeewwwwww, he's not going to be mad at me. Wheew, dodged a bullet there!
And then I find out that other women had different experiences and don't relate to me at allll.

When you go see Goldanna before even finding out Redcliffe has been having problems by virtue of leaving the second Alistair tells you he's a prince then you can still tell him that he's going to be the future King in the Goldanna discussion because they kind of assume you don't do that.tmp7704 wrote...
I think it is because technically the subject of Alistair becoming the king doesn't arise until Arl Eamon forces you to go along with the whole "Let's go to Denerim, we have bastard prince of a wild card with us" thing. It wouldn't be really issue if there was simply third option for him along the lines of "I'm in love with a human out of all people" with simple romance check, like for the others.Gilsa wrote...
Ugh. This is getting kind of dumb. You can tell Gorim you're in love with Zevran, Morrigan, or Leliana just by the virture of turning on the romance, but for Alistair to even get a mention, all sorts of conditions have to be met. =p

Probable scenario: Emo Alastair after Lothering to after Redcliffe, party members - Morrigan (hates him), Dog (dislikes him), Sten (also dislikes him) and Leli. Who should he go and whine to?

I was going to learn Arabic but I looked at a few lessons on line and my brain shut down on me. Japanese isn't that much better but I have Rosetta Stone now, so it's a little easier.

I've always hated Leliana. Not to mention the conflicts the story has anyway. Just makes no sense. i think the Morrigan manipulating him into a relationship with her to get her god baby is a more likely story. Would explain the stupid choices.errant_knight wrote...

Oh, I'm not talking about the DLC, I can understand that. Just the whole "he really thinks of Leliana when he's with you" thing is what I don't like. But like I said, that's just because of past personal experiences. Irrationality.

My new Leliana.
It might have helped that I played a HN first and was really curious as to who Gorim was as his name was yellow and so I thought I was missing something. Then again, that bratty noble kid's name is in yellow and she's not important.Gilsa wrote...

As for the link: here.
They did one about the Alistair romance and how much the Landsmeet can suck, too.

I love that having three languages as similar as Swedish, Norwegian and Danish can make you seem more educated.

You know, that actually would be a good thing to add. In fact, I like that better than the flags I changed. Hmmmm. Taking down that link because I didn't think it through!

Common morals like torturing and murdering people because she had a thing for Marjolaine? I don't see the characters as similar at all, but I probably shouldn't go into it for the sake of people who like her.SurelyForth wrote...
I do not understand why fans of his character would rather he end up with Morrigan, who hates him and is diametrically opposed to his fundamental worldview, than with Leliana, who at least treats him well, respects him, and shares common morals.
It's not entirely or even mostly on a rational level, but if you picture the woman you can least stand, who also happens to be incredibly annoying, and then find out your boyfriend or husband had a thing for her once, it would set you back. The very idea is [alistair] creepy [/alistair].
I never saw him ending up with Morrigan, either. Just wish Bioware had left it all alone. I mean, what's the point? Have no story line at all and just throw that tidbit in? Probably to provoke just such a fangirl reaction as this. *sigh*

Since the midsection is total crap I would like to point out that I found this and just stuck Alistair's head on it.
