Hmm, to satisfy my own curiosity; DA2 king Alistair in more normal lighting looks more or less like this:

Image IPB

That's a heck of a lot better. I think I owe the modeler an apology. But it's truly bizarre that the difference in lighting is this monumental. That doesn't say good things about the lighting set up at all. Question, though.... What do you mean 'more or less?'

Have you posted this in the DA2 forum? People should see this so they know to stop blaming the poor girl that worked on it. ;) He's still not really Alistair, but I bet this is as good as is possible with the new software.
Note: I didn't clip the picture since it's a new page and the picture is the topic of discussion.

Hi! I'm a new poster and a semi-new Dragon Age fan. I got it for Christmas and have played through Origins, just got Awakening. Definitely LOVE my Alistair and Warden romance. I've read through the forums but I just don't have time to read all 1356 (as of right now) pages of Alistair squee and so I'm wondering about a few things that you knowledgeable folks might know about.

HOKAY:
I play on the 360 so, correct me if I'm wrong (please, because I could always do with more sex scenes :P) but the IRS Alistair is for PC only? Bummer, really. Also, I'd like to agree with most everyone on the "WTH is wrong with Alistair's face" in DA2??? To go along with that, I'd also like to make my formal whining complaint that Alistair does not appear in anything else DA related with the Warden and fun interaction options (EFF Awakening, that was a pitiful excuse for a teaser and killed my soul a bit). The least they could have done for us is give us an equally attractive male romance option for the DA2, instead and personally, I feel that they gave us another pitiful excuse, this time in the form of Anders, an Alistair wanna-be (again, in my opinion) with his voice and his humor, hell, even his hair color. NOT ACCEPTABLE BIOWARE...you dicks.

SO, what is there out there, gameplay-wise, for a 360 user who wants more of Alistair but doesn't want to turn into one of those shut-ins (because I assuredly would become one) who just plays and re-plays Origins with different female characters to have their Alistair fix? I'm not above buying the PC version to get just a little more action...one last time *sigh*.

Again, and to no avail, WTF BIOWARE??? WHY?? Why would you give us this golden god and then take him away like a half-eaten, drool-covered candy bar from a child? Finding out that Alistair was gone from my life for good left me staring at the TV screen "buh, buh, buh, but"-ing *pout*. Honestly, I don't even want to finish Awakenings with my main Origins character without Alistair there by her side...

Reading this forum only makes me sadder, though, knowing there are so many others out there who have lost hope, just as I have. If anyone has any info to offer about some kind of withdrawal program or something, I would be grateful for the sharing of it. :)

There, there, AislynnH. Unfortunately, to the best of my knowledge, mods are only available for the pc version. And while I think the DA2 romances are entertaining, I will admit that Alistair is still my favorite LI.

@ AislynnH, unfortunately Origins is all there is for our Alistair. I tend to agree with Schratty, I very much enjoyed DA2 and the romances but nothing compares to my Alistair. Image IPB 

Since you metioned it, I also started out on the 360 then moved to the PC because of mods and have loved every minute of it! I can't live without IRS-A, Alistair's First Night and the Royal Wedding. Image IPB

I also started on X-box & moved to PC - I wanted pretty hair for my PC (but I got so much more!)

Ah, it's our old arch-enemy. Lighting, the force that can make any half-decent character look terrible.

I said that because it's technically Alistair's head on Anders' body; "true" Alistair would be instead sporting the heavy armour or smth Image IPB

Have you posted this in the DA2 forum?

No; i did post the opinion on how it's imo the lighting that screwed up the effect in the thread which was linked here, but that was before i did this test so it's without any picture to go with it. If you want to post that in DA2 forums or something, feel free.

I think I will--with my personal apology to the modeler.  Thanks! :)

Welcome home!

Most of us here feel your pain.  Some of us have resorted to creating FF and art to re-create our idol and there's a lot of that around. You might want to go exploring.

Sorry, but the series does not revolve around one companion.

But as was pointed above, there's plenty of fanfic and fanarts for you to satisfy your needs.

I should probably properly introduce myself before posting on the thread (and will do so soon) but right now, I just have to say that Alistair + the phrase "half-eaten, drool-covered" makes me smile a good deal more than it should. :wub:

Hello everyone! Long time no... posted. Bad, bad me.

@Zjarcal, your avatar makes me giggle. It kind of makes me want to... do the same thing *starts mimicking the poney's mouvements*

@AislynnH, WELCOME!! (I totally wrote that with a Cave Johnson tone. Yes. Yes I did. Isn't that right Caroline?) Anyways. You should finish Awakenings. The story line is pretty cool and the NPCs are pretty awesome too!

Ok a little confused the Human Noble "Special Time with Alistair" is not being triggered. Do I need to go to Fort Drakon, I enjoyed killing Ser Catherien though.

Do you mean the scene where you get the hug by the fireplace after killing Howe? You need to go back to eamon' estate & tell the gray haired maid on the 1st floor that you want to be left alone.
