Yeah, indeed! But it's good to image... If she didn't find it of course. Or the cure prevented them from ever being effected by The Taint, becuase Fiona was cured of it, and she has an immunity to the taints effects. I get the feeling that would happen. And my Cousland would totally be one of people that would sit down with the GW and tell them to at least keep some of the GW, gw. And it's only for elderly GW only, so they'd still have young GW (or those who haven't heard the Calling yet). So yeah, plenty of people to kill.

The next person to kill the Archdemon would probaly be someone that my Cousland approved off (such as being scarscatic, a natural leader, good in combat, well liked by everyone, willing to do whatever it takes to whatever it takes to kill the Archdemon). She'd probaly have asked if this individual could be the next hero, so that she could mentor them on how to kill the Archdemon, and how it'd kill you. So a person unafraid of dying for the greater good, would do.

 

Considering the games are moving away from Ferelden I doubt we will hear much about the HoF in such an instance.  For which I am glad.  Only a grey warden can kill the Archdemon since the taint is drawn to the taint.  Being cured of the taint means no more taint to draw in the Archdemon soul.  Why else would Fiona be forced back to the Circle?  She can't be a Grey Warden anymore.  And do you really believe Bioware is going to mass produce what makes it's poster girl sparkly snowflake special?  

 

Any Grey Warden with the skill to lop off it's head will do.  They won't need a 'sparkly handpicked star' to do it.  By tradition, the eldest among the Grey Warden's slays the AD, not some young recruit.  

 

*Edit* And since your Cousland didn't die, how would she answer those awkward questions and deal with the fall out of those answers?  You couldn't claim Riordan did it since he received no honors for it.  How do you think the Wardens would feel that you 'took credit for another man's deed'.  No thanks, I'd rather not have anything to do with my original character and any further blights.  One would be enough for Neria.

 

Not sure about how elder grey wardens would feel about being cured of what makes them part of the organization.  Not seeing many lining up for the 'honor' of having their Grey Warden-ness removed.  Recall how the gentleman in Inquisition was that Clarel speaks to at Adamant?  All about "Duty".  Though i suppose a few will volunteer, they may feel the young, who would benefit from it more, should take the cure instead.

I dont know. I think even some the older wardens would opt for living what's left of their lives peacefully without the calling bombarding their heads. I also think that they don't see any way out of their warden-ness, that's why they burry themselves on their job.

Honestly, I don't know what the HoF is thinking because I think the next blight is just around the corner.

Happy Halloween folks.  Thought I'd look this fellow up on UTube for Halloween.  He cosplays Alistair making a 'found cake' minus the mabari slobber!  

 

It's uncanny how much he looks like our boy and the recipe looks really good, though I haven't tried baking it, figured a video with our favorite Warden and sweets would be appropriate today.

No, my HOF would found out he was missing and go back and charge the Darkspawn for him. She's like that, sense you know, she's rather protective of him.

Zevran? No, hes only trying to flirt with my canon but she's not hearing it from him.

Hah! Wow, he did really well! The voice acting, under-breath jokes and even facial expressions were all pretty spot on. Thanks for sharing!

Reading the different codexs in DA2, it's clear that the writers consider the joint rule with Alistair and Anora the *ideal ending* as it says that Ferelden has prospered.

On the other hand, the codex for Alistair sole ruler implies political instability. People are divided between those who believe his rule is legitimate and those who think that it was all a ruse to overthrow Anora.

But I'll stand by my decision. I'm not giving her power.

But they don't say that about Queen Cousland/Alistair in DA2. They say that people adore them, which is awesome sense my canon romance is King Alistair/Queen Cousland. I have never done a Leliana romance as my Queen's Mistress. I love how nice their marriage is to do that to Alistair. I'm sucker for happy marrriages, but with Anora/Male Cousland? I know it's a political marriage, so my guy always has a mistress on him. Becuase I don't really care for Anora and the fact that the Prince Consort has a public mistress is a bit of a slap in a her face, so there's that...

It's not just ideal. I think it's a supposed to be a continuation of where the story was trying to go in Stolen Throne. Where a commoner earned respect (Loghain) and the future of Ferelden wasn't just about divine rights of kings and all that nobility stuff that Eamon likes to push.

 

There's flaws in Loghain, of course.. but there should be something salvageable about his contribution. It's a shame if it just becomes a footnote and everything goes backwards, where you just prop up nobles. Anora and Cailan represented something new. And it's what Anora and Alistair can do as well.

 

So I think it's funny if you're so averse to her having any power. Because she's just a commoner. How is Ferelden ever going to make any inroads for like, Elves, for example.. when even the commoner humans are seen as the villains?

That's good to hear. Alas... my canon Warden is a male Dalish elf.

I can appreciate what it represents, but the people involved leave me unsure. Anora is too Vivienne-y for me. Your Celene kind of noble.

And if you wondering, this isn't a gender thing. When it comes to leadership in general I prefer women like Leliana and Cassandra, because for them power isn't the end game. They pursue an ideal first.

Good for you Qun - no power for Anora (not that I have anything against Anora ). Three thumbs up for you.

Gimme four. I like round numbers!

It's cool. I didn't think you had thoughts about gender. I just meant social classes.

 

I just think it's a good [baby] step in the right direction for Ferelden. Even if Anora isn't all that great, what she represents establishes a good precedent. As did Loghain... it's why people still call him a hero, even after you kill him.

I think my Canon Cousland let Anora go. Maybe she's off with my Queen Couslands's brother? (I crack ship Anora with Fergus... I don't know why, but I kind of do.) But anyhow, I do. For some odd reason..

I'm curious.. Offhand, what do you guys think is the most popular pairing for Alistair? Especially female Cousland (since I see that one a lot).

Probably Cousland/Alistair since that story is so connected to the overall theme of the tale.  I personally prefer my (canon) Surana Mistress, but I don't see much of that, more the Amell when people are going with the 'tragic breakup' story in which the warden or Alistair dies at the end.

I see a lot of Alistair/Cousland. Never managed to finish one of those myself, though. (As avatar!Moira Cousland gives me the stink eye...)

[straykat]

Oh, just to add, I meant class too...

For Alistair's LI? The majority of the female Couslands I see him paired with are dual wield rogues.

Yeah, I wasn't sure. I suppose that makes sense.. since Ostagar is dying for a rogue in the party.

Nah, mines a Warrior lady. In order of her mother, who also happened to a warrior too. And she romaced him, too.

Ahahahaha. I left my Alistair a Warden with my Amell. My idiot girl [who ruined the romance by keeping Logian alive) is my Broska. She died.

The answer lies in the question. Cousland/Alistair is probably the most popular because a) you can make him king without getting dumped or having to harden him, b ) you can become queen, and c) it's the only outcome where the two are outright stated to get married. (If I have to see one more "Look at Alistair and my Cousland's gorgeous royal wedding!" mod screenshot...)

 

Aside from that, Amell x Alistair has a decent following because of the whole "Mage x Templar" forbidden fruit dynamic, and Surana x Alistair is surprisingly popular (given how few people actually bothered to play a non-human) due to the mage/Templar elf/human dynamic; and especially now after it's revealed that Alistair's mother is an elven mage and his father a human noble. (Generation Xerox!)

 

I personally like Tabris x Alistair a lot since they were both treated terribly by a human noble family their whole lives; she was treated like an animal by the Kendells for being an elf, and Alistair was made to sleep in the stables and kennels like a dog (and it turns out he's half-elf!) by Eamon and Isolde for being a bastard. It also creates a nice contrast to their situation; she endures racism for being an elf, but she has a loving family. Alistair is generally respected by random people on the street for being a male human warrior, but he doesn't have a loving family to fall back on. (Plus, with a rogue, there's the whole "Maric's first love was Katriel, a female city elf rogue, and Alistair's first (hopefully only) love is a female city elf rogue" Generation Xerox.)
