So I just did a play through where I married Anora and spared Loghain.  I liked the ending when she was nice o be and says she was nervous about our wedding.  Then I started a new game in Awakening.  Damn this made me like her more.  When she shows up at the Keep the conversation is so much better than the Alistair one and it was sweet and made you feel like you and Anora really do like one another.  Just have to say I am pleasantly surprised how well she was handled in Awakening.

Read Xandurpein's fanfic about Anora and Cousland. You'll like her more, guaranteed

EDIT: actually he has three story about her that are chronologically linked. I don't have the link to the other two, but I am sure someone will find and post them.

I really like Anora, she's just one of those polarizing figures that always puts 'the greater good' (be it true or misguided) first, and runs into a conflict with players because it's very, very easy for that so called better way to run against the Warden's grain.



I like to think of her as the brain and Alistair as the heart. Either one of them ruling solo probably isn't going to be the greatest ever, but together you can get that ol' Golden Age. (Or sub a Cousland in as the complementary piece in whichever pairing of choice you like.)

I like her, her speech in the final battle is pretty good, while in the final scene she really wowed me. Her asking about how her father went out and her face was so amazing. Queen Anora for um.. QUEEN!

opinions vary...that's a fact...but.

I couldn't STAND her speach...her voice hurt your ears and it just didn't have any true emotion...

to each their own..but...wow.

Well my sound card is bad right now, so any time something gets beyond a lound whisper it starts to pop. For some reason Anora's speech came out well while Alistair sounded like a 1940's radio broadcast. Also Alistair is a tool.

I have to side with Suron here. I laughed through the entire thing and was praying a 'Ok lady, look, let me do the William Wallace thing from here on' to come up. It wasn't a bad speech in the written sense, it just came off as so robotic and devoid of emotion that you just sat there going 'Wow. Can I take the Landsmeet back?'.

[Giggles_Manically]

Neither of them were that good really, and the mucis was meh. So i give anora about a 6 and alister about a 5.5 on my scale. LOTR and Kingdom of HEaven both had beter speeches.

I agree that her speech isn't very good, but I think she is happy marrying you from a pratical and emotional point of view. I wish though you got a wedding ring or something in Awakening kind of like Morrigan's ring or something, or a gift from her something material wise to symbolize she cares would do a lot I think. Though her tone and dialogue seems to indicate she does care about you.

The speech is at best a C+ compared to Allistairs as far as delivery which is a solid A or A+


I like Anora too.    There are certain nuances that happen based upon wether you spare Loghain in certain areas.    You will see more of her, and you get at least one more light hearted moment if you do.     The game gives you some possible hints that if you are not totally power grubbing you might have a reasonably happy time with her.    She certainly does seem to respect the PC more then Allistair.

I agree. Anora is a very interesting character, and there is hints that you can end up having reasonably happy married to her, as long as you respect that she is the Queen. And the part at post coronation when she asks if you are nervous about the wedding is just too cute for words.

But as soon as the wedding is over it really should be her husband who does the pre battle speeches.

Anora's cameo was my favorite Awakening moment. But just when you thought things were going well... you get to the last slide of your epilogue....

[Master Shiori]

Anora gives a better speech when addressing the nobles at the Landsmeet.



Her speech to the troops before the battle of Denerim doesn't hold the candle to Alistair's.



She needs to stick to addressing nobles and leave the battle speeches to the proffesionals.

Either of you have the dialogue of this? I checked on the Wiki but I either flat-out missed it or they don't have it. I'm interested now.

And I like those epilogue slides (when they work!), get all those Warden's into open space for easy placement into DA2!

[blademaster7]

You mean her Awakening appearance? Have you tried youtube?

Stop wearing robes and play a Cousland

I just started one. Arcane Warrior/Blood Mages seriously makes the game boring. 20 on 1? Psssh, you are all so dead.

I'll go rummage around Youtube right now.

[Jacks Smirking Revenge]

The epilogue slide from awakening is kind of vague, but to me it gives off vibes she didn't like you, but is coming around to like/maybe falling in love.



If the Warden is married to Anora he comes back to his life at the court and even Anora meets him with a smile. But some years later the Warden vanishes. Nobody knows why, but "neither does anyone think his tale is complete..."

[Hyper Cutter]

I've found Anora isn't nearly as bad as the fanbase believes. A lot of the anger at her seems to come from women (like most of the hate for Isolde, actually), which is sort of weird...

This is a light hearted attempt to guess why so many men despise Cailan and so many women despise Anora. It's written tounge in cheek, but may hold a little piece of truth too.

The only thing I really, really don't like about Anora is the fidgeting.  You don't look like a confident ruler while you're playing with your rings, Your Majesty!

oh man I noticed that too. She fidgets with her hands a lot when anxious, it's a nice character touch.

[Corker]

It is, but I still want to reach through the screen to grab her hands and make her stop.

Or any easy retirement/calling if some of the devs comments are on the money.

As far as I understand it's a standard emote for female characters when they are nervous, not just Anora.
But it's still kind of cute to me...

The whole 'Warden vanishing' slide in the Awakening epilogue-



Has anyone stopped to consider that he may have 'vanished' because something ill befell Queen Anora and he no longer had any reason to stay? Maybe he was heartbroken over the death of his beloved queen and couldn't bear to remain in Ferelden....
