I think the original version of Alistair is in his 30s. Most placed him in his mid 20s. Apparently DG said he is in  his early 20s.

************************************************

Alistair is in his early 20s and so is your warden, well mine anyway.  femCousland is just now being asked to take over responsibility of Cousland castle, which puts her around 20.  Dalish elf is probably around 20 also.  I'll always come back to DAO and Alistair.  I love the character and the romance.  I have some games that I've never finished so I thought I'd play them again before I get back to DAO again.  DA2 comes out March 8th but I'll still go back to DAO.  It was an epic rpg.

I dont know there just seems to be something off about it too me.

Alim is actually sad about losing a friend but knows that it will take time.
Its fun to write this though because I keep seeing a different part of Alistair's mind.

Also I keep remembering how Gaider said that Alistair's hatred of Loghain corrupted him, as much as Loghain's hatred of Orlais corrupted him.

I thought you really conveyed a sense of Alistair living his worst nightmare, the strengh of his anger, and also an awareness of what he'd lost, but with no way to get beyond the without forgiving what he would see as the unforgivable.

The only thing I would question is that the letter had any effect on him at that time. It seemed a little too sudden. Maybe that's what you were sensing? In any case, poor Alistair, that was so very sad, and his life is so bleak....

Not sure why Alim wouldn't tell him about the ultimate sacrifice, Alistair's still a warden whether a practising one or not, and it might have made a diiference. While he's terribly angry at his friend, I doubt he actually wants him dead.

Good story! Very emotionally engaging!

So I know I'm a newbie around here, but when people say this thread is dying, my brain wants to implode. I can barely keep up with this thing!

It was more "alive" I guess.

Crazier would be the better word.

The thread 'dying' is all relative. Sometimes I can go to sleep and wake up the next morning with this thread on the same page and sometimes I'm gone for an hour and we've moved on five pages. A few months ago (I don't remember how many), I didn't even bother trying to keep up with this thread because it just moved so quickly. I'd be gone at class and there were ten more pages to get through and by the time I got through those three more pages were there. Compared to that, the thread is a lot easier to follow these days. To put things into perspective, people used to mildly freak out if there wasn't a post for an entire hour. Things are far slower now.

And Yuki, Mel, SF, Axe, LJ, Herr, Kryy...etc

The golden days. And while we discussed a lot, it was less confrontational IIRC.

Thanks for posting that Thriller vid link, KoP! I really enjoyed that. What I can't figure out is why Morrigan and Alistair look like better dancers when they all have the same animation? Maybe it's a clothing thing.... Or a height thing.... Maybe both....

Yea, dancing in massive plate armor is...weird.

Still, Loghain dancing is hilarious.

Well the old thread was like a mushroom cloud.  I think we had some 20 pages a day when it first started?  Afterward it would at least move several pages a day.  The Zevran thread had been going on for a long time but there wasn't anything like it then, and I think the Alistarians just had pent-up squee.  And other assorted craziness. 

But interests change, it's the circle of life yadda yadda.

It's totally hilarious, in all ways. And freakin' brilliant. Someone must have made all new animations for that and imported them which is no small feat.

If you go on Nexus, someone made theanimations & put them up for dowload.  Then someone else made a download using those animations where you can ask a barmaid to have one of the companions dance.

Yeah, I figured it was just a matter of perspective.  I can't even imagine a single thread moving that fast!  What a blast for those involved.  The only other message boards I frequent (Faerunrp.com and RASalvatore.com) move at a snail's pace compared to this business.

And I'm not complaining, lest anyone think so.  I don't know how long I'll be able to devote the time to keep up with this thread, but it's been a pleasure so far.  I love how something like a video game can spark discussions like the ones that have been happening here the last few days.

I'm going to have to talk to them and see how they did that. I don't really have use for dance animations but I'd really like a wider range of sitting positions, especially on the ground and more sitting hand and arm movements of various types. I could make those if I knew how they managed the import and export....

Errant, there is a topic in Dahlia's cutscene group with a custom animation tutorial. I haven't done more than read it but it looks like it's well written.

Oooo! Thanks, Yankee! I've been too busy with my story to go there, but I'll have to make the time.

Hey, thanks for putting me onto that, Yankee. It's exactly what I needed.
