Alistair would be happy if you did?

I actually think Alistair would be easier for Eamon to convince than Cailan was. Duty seems to be a very heavy issue for him. As long as he's not pushed over the edge (Loghain), we've already seen that in some circumstances he's willing to put aside his own happiness and break his warden's heart in order to do his duty. Cailan seemed much better at doing what he wanted to do ... probably because he didn't have all of his self-confidence drained out of him since childhood. That conversation in Redcliffe where Eamon talked to the warden about Alistair like he wasn't in the room sent me into a rage that Bioware didn't give us a conversation choice where we could tell him off. But yeah, I do think Eamon would try his best to manipulate Alistair, and I think there's some chance he would succeed.

I don't think he is, either. I think the longer he has to sit with an idea, get used to it and finally enjoy his life, the less likely he's going to be to let someone take it from him.

@LadyD, ... like a wife and a couple of kids? Let's hope he fights like h*ll to keep them.

I need to stop taking what I read too seriously and concentrate on the "real" Alistair who would never leave my Cousland warden!
It's important for Alistair to have someone named as his heir whether they're related to him or not. The Theirin bloodline is a powerful symbol but most nobles are just as fine following Anora and her Mac Tir bloodline so it's really not the end of the world if Alistair has to use of Fergus' children.tuppence95 wrote...

I think I've been spending too much time reading fanfic. I've got the idea of keeping the Theirin bloodline going stuck in my head. I need to stop taking what I read too seriously and concentrate on the "real" Alistair who would never leave my Cousland warden!

The reason it was called that in the first place, was to help give a clear warning to people who are sensitive. It was created by myself to encourage Alistair fans to stop posting naughty pics throughout the rest of the week. Sometimes it worked, barring the occasional Alistair Mutation or Nude Screenshot.... thread is like damming the Niagara. And why would you. LOL Do we really have anyone that sensitive?? Nvm, don't answer that.

I think a lot of fanfic exaggerates that aspect of the game. I think there will be some pressure, but not nearly as bad some fics make it out to be.

If you spare Loghain, Alistair ditches you and thus, as David Gaider likes to remind us...

ALISTAIR NEVER LOVED YOU
How'd I do, KoP?
Yeah, I read a one-shot once (I don't remember what it was called or who it was by) where Queen Cousland hung herself because Alistair desperately needed an heir but refused to put her aside. It was very sad but I couldn't help but wonder why she couldn't have left him or they couldn't have gotten an heir by some other means.tuppence95 wrote...

I just got through reading Alairas' The Night is Full of Stars, which I liked a lot. It made me cry several times, and I liked the way it ended. But yeah, that Theirin bloodline sure was an issue! But in this case, it was just as much the Cousland warden's decision as it was Eamon's.
And speaking of fanfics that I love, you are starting to worry me with that funeral picture of Lya.

I think the objection was more along the lines of 'if you made him King without making yourself Queen you'd have gotten the boot or at least he would have attempted it.'tuppence95 wrote...

Oh, but I said he would never leave "my Cousland warden." She never considered sparing Loghain. At least that particular warden didn't.

Uhhh ... yeah. Fergus' offspring or maybe even Teagan's (... and Kaitlyn's?) are much better than hanging!

I tend to think that most people committing suicide aren't actually thinking rationally no matter how much they think they are. She probably hoped that he wouldn't want her death to be in vain.LadyDamodred wrote...

I was thinking of that exact fic. I mean, what did the Cousland think was going to happen? In my head, that completely devastated him and he never remarried or had kids anyway. How do you get over something like that?
