Hey Alistair lovers/friends of Alistair/brothers(sisters)-in-arms/lurkers........and that guy over there----->
So I have never posted here before (at least I don't think I have.....bad memory all of a sudden), but I was wondering if any of you have some answers for a few Alistair related questions I have. First off, thanks in advance for even reading this, and big thanks for any insight you can share. Next, I should preface with the following; I have romanced Alistair multiple times, and I have romanced Zevran multiple times. I have even (once accidently and once on purpose) flirted with both while trying to have a successful romance arc with one of them. However, I have a new play through where I am trying to do something a bit different (well, different for me) and I am in need of a bit of info.
Normally I would not metagame quite so much, but after doing a number of play throughs without metagaming, I decided to try a few very specific things....I am making up the play through and fleshing out my Warden this time around, before actually playing it all out. I am now getting long-winded; I apologize. On to the questions:
1) For RP purposes, I would like to romance Alistair and flirt with Zevran (eventually end up with Zevran). Are there certain breakup points in Alistair's dialogue that do less damage to his approval meter than others? And, if you sleep with Alistair then break up with him eventually (sooner or later), will you loose all approval points? Will it set you back to Neutral or drop you even further?
2) My goal is something like this; my CE in question does in fact grow close to Alistair, but she is a bit tired of feeling forced to feel certain ways (still a bit bitter about an arranged marriage), and keeps him a bit at arms length. He eventually gives her the rose, and either then or after, she chooses a flirt option that triggers the romance. She continues to raise his approval (now I'm talking gameplay....story is long and drawn out; no need to bore you all...hehe!), and he finally proposes they sleep together. She agrees. She cares for him, but suspects that a relationship with a human will probably not end well (oh, and this will be a hardened Alistair). At some point after she sleeps with Alistair, she will trigger the Zevran romance.
Now, as asked above, will she be able to break it off with Alistair without sending her plummeting down to the hate/dislike end of the spectrum? Or can she at least break up with Alistair after sleeping with him but BEFORE she initiates the Zevran romance, and worse case scenario, sets him back to neutral.
Here are a few thoughts; from a human nature standpoint, I would totally get Alistair being disgruntled (hell, downright rage worthy) if he is broken up with after sleeping together. But, this CE of mine is not out to hurt him. I see her as kind, and affectionate, but with a strangely practical side to her. She has never been involved with a human, nor even considered it before meeting Alistair. After sleeping with him, I can see her pulling away from him.......she just doesn't see how this could go any further....even when she cares for him. It also is a bit frightening because any sort of serious relationship seems confining to her. When she finally starts to really notice Zevran, she is just happy to get along with another fellow Elf (she is spritely BTW...has a sense of humor). When THEY finally get together, again, I see her as being fine with just a fanciful fling, but over the course of the play through, she eventually comes to have feelings for him. After they fight Talisen, she starts to believe that Zev could have feelings for her, but of course, he doesn't confirm them till a bit later (as any Zevmancer knows...*wink*).
Anyway tl;dr my hopes are as followed:
1) Care for Alistair.....
2) Sleep with him (from a very metagamey standpoint, I just like this idea, since she also intends to persuade Alistair to do the DR.....really like the idea of him having his first time be with someone he ACTUALLY does fancy.)
3) Breakup with Alistair without having him hate her (but before the Landsmeet)
4) Get together with Zev and play out the whole romance arc.
Oh, and Equal Love/Polygamy mod is not an option.....conflicts with other mods I have, and it's not what I am looking for anway.. THANKS again!!
(hope that wasn't terribly confusing.....yeesh!)
Retour en haut
I dunno why the one who made it wants to remain anonymous. It was famous on tumblr for a while, even. 
And then, of course, there's always this beauty:
