Obviously the game only has sparing Loghain be Alistair's breaking point but do you think that there would ever be anything else that, game-mechanics aside, he couldn't accept from a LI? Defiling the ashes? Abandoning Redcliffe because they can't be bothered to defend the peasants? If he ever found out that you traded Connor's soul for whatever after Isolde died in the blood magic ritual? Anything else?


I think the soul barganing would do it, there realy is no "rational" explanation for that one. It's for personal gain. Mostly, I think it would depend on the warden's explanation and intentions. If he belived the warden was honestly doing these things out of necessity and not malice he wouldn't automatically walk.  I also belive that Alistair walking after sparing Loghain is mostly game mechanics. I do think if the warden had a chance to explain it might turn out somewhat different.

Yeah the soul bargaining should be a deal breaker. I never unlocked it and kept the playthrough. I took the spec on a character I created just to do that and delete. I still haven't unlocked reaper, and probably won't.  For Jaina, she learned blood magic on the sly at the tower, and only to protect herself from ever reliving her past. She's basically good, and a spirit healer to boot. I think in her case Alistair would be ok with it. I think I'm just stuggling because I can't literally say "hey you big oaf, careful with the words evil and blood mage" so to me, those words are just echoing in her head.  Original plan is what I'm hoping for, I mean the WORLD doesn't need to know the king's mistress is a blood mage. And her good deeds would likely be enough that noone would believe it anyhow.

I still don't know how the epilogue slides work for Alistair/Anora/mistress though.

um..guess I should know better than to post anything about another fella here..


I really wanted to like the Gilmore mod.  I was so excited about it and created a new Cousland for him.  I had a backstory in my mind about their relationship growing up together.  And I thought the modder did an amazing amount of work on it!  His personality just turned out to be way too fussy for me.    I know I've already posted this a couple times before, but it really bugged me when he'd do things like object when she stood too close to him, suggest that she stinks and tell her that her combat skills suck.  For me, those aren't particularly good wooing methods.

But that's just my personal taste.  As long as the mods don't think we are going too far off-topic, you shouldn't not post about other guys here.  At least that's my opinion.

I also believe this, especially once they would be able to talk about what Riordan revealed about killing the AD.

Blast. Now I need to make a drunk-Alistair save, just in case that's the only way to meet him.



But yay! Alistair!

The problem with that is Riordan never thinks to tell you until Redcliffe the night before marching to Denerim so Alistair would have to stick around in the party or at least head to Redcliffe like everyone else before he could get that explanation.

(Omg why am I defending Anders here anyway?) :blink:

Uh, uh. There's this theory that Alistair fangirls are the larval form of Anders fangirls.

Good thing, eventually I will have Alistair for myself. :D


Umm no. Not gonna happen. Ever. Anders is was fun for the 20 hours DAA lasted but I happily ditch him every time for DA:O...and Alistair. Never looked back after one playthrough in DAA. :P

Also I find Anders rather meh in the visual department. *shrug*

I think that what Riordan tells you would help but not necessary to get him to stay. I'm not sure that you could convince him it was the right decision but you could get him to understand the why and not end the realtionship and walk out.

In one of the epilogue slides it says a drunk pops up in the Free Marshes claiming to have been a prince and a Grey Warden.

... at least that's how I remember it.

It's the pet rumour of the DA community. Of course it could be any version of him but only this Alistair is spotted at a Starkhaven tavern in the Free Marches.

It's possible, Hawke is Fereldan after all. But why would the King of Ferelden be in the Free Marches?

*raises hand*

Me too *word monster fistbumb* I really must read your story further at times, though :innocent:

@Sia: As a drunkard he is sighted in a bar near the free marches, so this is the most "logical" ending to include Alistair. Don't like that one, though.
