If there is another DA, I would love to see Alistair back. A lot of people mention Morrigan and the Dark Ritual. But if you want to follow up on the Dark Ritual, Alistair should be back, too. Personally, I would like to see more NPC's from Origins reappear in a DA sequel/expansion pack. I want the decisions I made in Origins to actually affect what happens in a sequel, and I was disappointed that Awakening didn't really seem to do this.

But, back to Alistair...he was one of my favorite NPC's in Origins and I was very disappointed not to see him in Awakening. Alistair was useful in combat, a source of humour, likeable, and a sort of moral judge. And what with the Landsmeet and all, he was an important part of the game even if you didn't usually keep him in your party. Plus, I went through all the trouble of building a romance with him and then he just disappeared in Awakening with no explanation whatsoever. A little frustrating since I was hoping the Origins storyline to carry over more.

So do other people want to see Alistair back, too?

[habitat 67]

Me too

[hexaligned]

Not even slightly.

Der, she didn't ask who doesn't want him back... now scram.

Not using Alistair in the next game would be as stupid as if Luke Skywalker was only in the first Star Wars movie. Besides, we need to see him grow up and become like Luke "a jedi badass".

Why create such a decent, engaging character only to use it once and have instead more crap Velanna characters instead? I wanted to throw that freaking elf in a tree.

It's like "Hmm do I want vanilla flavour ice cream or barf flavor?"

Best brush up on your reading comprehension there chum.

Look at the question in the title pipsqueak. I'll bet you also love to go onto IMDB actor pages just to say they suck.

Forums are for discussion, I answered a question she asked. People are going to disagree on any and all topics. Don't like it? Don't know what to tell ya, better luck adjusting to reality in your next life?

did you really just compare alistair to luke skywalker??? really?? wow

[lalaith3]

Well let's not fight, now!

I would like to hear from people who share my opinion as I am curious how many other Alistair fans are out there. But if someone feels differently it's no big deal.

[nestorprado]

I don't want him back... never!

[cakeinacup]

I didnt really love alistair, but i think he should be back, even if he left like he did in most of my saves. It would be awesome if he came back and you could take him as a party member or if you dont he becomes a boss fight or something.



But yea i would like to see him come back, he was one of the more interesting characters, for some reason i always felt like i had to baby him though, was that just me?

[habitat 67]

What does your passion for trolling have to do with your malformed perception on my view of reality?

Add some thoughtful discussion to the thread then, Mr Wizard. Who's your favorite "must have back" character? Why doth Alistair offend?

[Shadowomega23]

I wouldn't mind having him making a return, Eric Cousland and him where like brothers. Though Eric was the more mature thinker, though still loved to joke arounds. By the way Eric is Forum avatar.

No one is a must have back, I think future plots and character development would become overly contrived and shallow because of it. I would much rather have a new setting and new characters. I don't want DAO2 to turn out to be some sort of pop quality fan service because some people developed irrational emotional attachments to fictional characters. If ya have to know.

If you played a femWarden, then he or Loghain are an integral part of the DA story line.  It's their child.

Absolutely!  And you should come join us in the gush thread in the Campaign forum, if you have a registered game.  Just look for the 2000-page behemoth!

It's not like that. I worship neither.
buuuut....
Luke Skywalker was Bantha poodoo annoying in the first movie. He was whiny and goofy looking. he was also, like Alistair around the same age with a sheltered boring past, living with his uncle. He didn't even kill things as well as Han.

But then Georgie stuck him on the Dagobah system for a few months and he emerged a killah, able to strangle Gamoreans with a simple wave of the hand.

I see your point, but I would also hate to see them replaced with mediocre characters (Velanna, ugh!! or goodbye Wrex/ Hello Jacob, meh).  I would hope instead that characters that may be brought back would instead progress into something else lke garrus/ tali from ME.

Personally I'm hoping for a whole new story with new characters to play with. If a DA2 is as long and detailed as origins, I don't see why we couldn't find more characters we find lovable and engaging. Awakenings didn't give us the same amount of time to get attached to our characters, but I still have some love for Nathanial Howe and felt he was a very well thought out character.



There could be another blight, something in the future concerning the Architect, or something entirely new that I can't think of. I don't want to get another DA game that just feels like a regurgitation of the first and expansion. I LOVED Alistair, he's one of my favorite game characters ever, but I'd rather see the story move on to a new setting and story, preferably set in the future when the original cast wouldn't be around anymore. Maybe they could be mentioned in the lore or something, but that should be the extent of any cameos.

Looks like he won't be returning anymore :whistle:

[habitat 67]

I wonder how different the story could be and still be called Dragon Age?



I understood the "dragon age" to be a specific limited period of time on a certain planet and Ferelden is a majorly important country in it. The next story could be on Orlais or something, but would still have to be during the dragon age or else why call it that? How long is the Dragon Age anyways?

But you never see him die. Shale totally busts her rock head through the tower and he escapes.

I don't remember how long an "age" lasts... for some reason I thought it was their version of a century... maybe not though XD

I think an age last for 1000 years at least by what was stated in the little codex thing. But when the age began I forget.

Bioware has stated "Dragonage" is what they are calling the IP, regardless of setting, and that any future titles could take place at any time in the past or future.

Edit: and yeah I think "ages" in the game are 100 years Trix, though I'm not the biggest Lore buff.
