There were only a few stray trolls in that thread, nothing to get worked up about.

Sadly, I can believe the dwarf comments. I'm a thirtysomething at just around 5'2" or 5'3" in my shoes, I have people asking me when am I going to graduate highschool. Grrr.



I'll admit, there's times my neck hurts in sympathy when my warden is looking up at Alistair or Sten.

[Lady Jess]

Team Awesome!

[Sarah1281]

Ah yes, those inescapable grey-haired and wrinkled children...

[Lady Jess]

Hmm actually considering making rough and tough Brosca up there switch from Zev to soft and squishy Alistair. Could be an interesting match I suppose.

It's silly, really.  I'm 5'7 with a large frame, my husband is 6'1 with a medium frame, and proportion wise (height and build) we look like a dwarf and Zevran.

While people have their own personal preference, once I start reading about how large-framed women are unattractive, I leave.  I mean, seriously, what more is there to say?  Once someone says, "I prefer THIS so that's the way it should be," conversation is over.  That's what they like!

Yeah, I washed my hands of that thread. I am just like this



and



and Alistair is like this



because when he looks at his dorf girlfriends he is like this





The end.

[Russalka]

It wasn't eventually about the height, but about how the face was structured. Too much like children, that one poster said.

Hello...
I have a quick polling question. I have someone testing the Alistair Amulet through the whole game and all is going well so I will release it soon, however....I can not at the moment make it be given retro to Wardens that have already played through. It will be given in lieu of the unusable rose Icon to those who play through with new romances, I can make a second amulet that drops in the inventory for those who want the amulet for characters already advanced or finished...would that be something wanted for those whom have played through already?

any thoughts?

and for good measure........
*snip

I'm looking forward to the Alistair amulet.  I think it would be a good idea to have one drop into the inventory of those wardens who have already received the rose.

Oh yes, I'm definitely dwarflike in that regard myself. Disposition too from what I've been told.

Hm, so thoughts for my fellow fanfiction writers. Do you think Alistair would freak out more if told beforehand that the Warden who has been hitting on him has about as much experience as he does, or after the tent scene when he finds out in a different way?

Yes, I'm evil, but I like poking people. Probably why all my saves for conversations involve things like "Poking Zev" or "Annoying Morrigan".

[Giggles_Manically]

Haters gonna hate.



Honestly I dont really care if it offends some people, that there is an optional thing to do in a game.

Dont want to do it, <SHOCKER> dont do it!



BTW I like playing dwarves, being around half the height of people and still kicking their butt is a hoot.

Lol, just tried to spark the romance at Redcliffe while Alistair was telling my PC about being the king's son. Well, it didn't work, then I looked at his approval, which had only been at +12 neutral. Guess I have to wait juuuust a little bit longer to do that conversation!

Yup.  He has to be warm to you before you can get the option to swing him into being interested during the confession speech.  I like doing that but I like having him already interested in me so he can tell me that he feels lucky to have survived with me.  (I'm such a sucker for compliments!)

Reika wrote...
Speaking of which, is it sad I've been writing more fanfic than playing said game? Except for loading up various saves to remind me of certain conversations I want verbatim. Ususally those involving Alistair. 

LOL I don't think so.  I spend more time here in the forums than I do actually playing the game these days.  Doing this, much like your writing of fanfic, just makes the game more appealing, I think.

I'm going to have to try that with my next hnf.  I'm also so torn about the swooping kiss.  I love that, but I also love hearing SV's voice saying, "So I fooled you, did I?  Good to know."  It goes into that deeper register that ... well ... is it getting hot in here? 
 [smilie]http://social.bioware.com/images/forum/emoticons/devil.png[/smilie]

I know!  I do love that line, as well.  SV's voice is just awesome, imho but that is one of his better lines.  Speaking of SV, I saw him guest star on an episode of Good Guys a couple months ago and it drove me crazy!  I kept hearing Alistair saying all these terrible things because SV's character on the show was a bad guy who shot his lover!  It about drove me insane!

Yankee23 wrote...
Ok, I know this is going to sound really dumb and you're all going to explain it to me and I am am going to feel stupid but...I never understood the  "So I fooled you, did I?"  line. The response makes no sense to me in the context of the convo.

Makes no sense to me either, but I've never cared because that voice just melts me, every single time.  

tuppence95 wrote...
My routine now is to listen to him say the "fooled you" line, then reload and let him swoop.  [smilie]http://social.bioware.com/images/forum/emoticons/love.png[/smilie]

And here I thought I'd be the only one to do things like that!

Lol it looks a bit like MageTarot's character there in the background. It also looks like he's got his eyes on Alistair's sword. And not the one he's holding in his hand

THAT is too funny! Just goes to show that someone mentions the magic phrase "Naked Alistair" and I'm there!

Great pictures, yukidama!  

Alistair has been pretty happy with his dwarf love, even if he is too tall.

Considering what you've written thus far? After the fact definitely..

You know what they say.: "Two virgins in a bed is one too many";)

Well Crisium's "What we become" (I think) describes the hilarious scene of her virgin mage and virgin Alistair having sex for the first time. Very realistic lol

Would link but fanfiction.net has been having some server problems for like two days now. Frustrating

Pardon me if I'm late but did anyone else here notice that Steve Valentine updated his Twitter with the following:

Thank you for sharing!!  I joined Twitter a few months ago, JUST to follow SV (told y'all I was a HUGE Alistair fan) but I can go a week or more without checking it.  Needless to say after reading this I headed right over to Twitter and made my very first Tweet ever, in reply to his.

I wonder who holds the record for most played PCs in this thread? I've completed 22 playthroughs over the last 6 months.

I don't know how many I've done. I don't generally save my old playthroughs (hence why I only ever have one or two characters listed in my profile) and I've never kept track.  I just know I keep playing and keep loving it.  
BTW... Love your nick!  

Reika wrote...
I've done, um. 7? Playthroughs, all Couslands I'm afraid, though Marlana is my "canon" Cousland. 2 Awakenings playthroughs, but tbh Awakenings doesn't have the replayability Origins does for me.

Yeah, I've only managed to get through one Awakening playthrough.  I keep promising myself I'll do another one but haven't managed to pull it off yet.  I think not having a romance option makes that game seem boring to me.

lol, I have saves like that, too.

As for Alistair freaking out....  Hmmm, I dunno.  In a way, knowing beforehand might be a relief as there aren't any expactations of measuring up.  On the other hand, he could worry because neither of you know what you're doing.  XD  As for finding out after, I suppose it depends how the sexytimes goes.  It might explain a lot, either way.

Would any of you cheated on Alistair given the option?

I would have -- probably not on my cannon save but somewhere along the way I'd have done a PC or two that would have romanced Anders if that were possible, despite being queen or Alistair's love.  *bows head in shame*

I don't think he'd freak out. On the contrary, I think he'd be incredibly touched and honored. Conversations leading up to First Knight lead me to believe that he takes physical romance very seriously. The fact that the PC is not only ready to experience physical love for the first time but ready to experience it for the first time with him no doubt must be a "wow!' moment for him.

I just wish there was a dialogue option for that too. We have a "Follow my lead, Alistair" option already. Why not a "This is my first time also but I want it to be with you"?

Oh my... can just imagine the scene right now.

Denerim Market District. Everyone is going on about there business as usual. A couple of people are gossiping about the darkspawn.
Suddenly a man appears, flustered and catching his breath. He stops in the middle of the district, looking around with wild eyes. As soon as his breath has gotten normal he lifts his arms up and shouts to get everyone's attention.
"Alistair is duelling Loghain!!!!"
*Silence*
"And he's nak...ooomph"
The man crumples to the ground. His attacker is none other than MageTarot. He glares at the group of Alistair fan girls who have appeared from nowhere.
"Back down ****es. Naked Alistair is mine!"
*MageTarot runs to the Landsmeet chamber with hordes of squeeing Alistair fangirls behind him*

Hm, that's actually a good idea. I hadn't thought about that. But I'll admit, all the dialogue options regarding the romance with Alistair assumes that the Warden is experienced which irritated me. The original version of Marlana was a virgin of noble origin mainly because she had trust issues. The DAO version just hadn't met anyone that interested her enough until she met Alistair and her heart made this funny little thud.

Wynne's conversation during the inital romance ticked me off, because I really wanted the option to say "What makes you think I have that much more experience?", when getting lectured by her. I honestly believe that Bryce was extremely protective of his daughter in that way. If not Fergus for his little sister. Eleanor, otoh, was ready to throw her at any interested male that would make an offer for Marlana's hand.

And to everyone else who responded, thank you. It's great to have outside perspective.

Arturo bursts into the Landsmeet chamber with the hordes of squeeing Alistair fangirls and fanboys behind him. He produces a vial containing a blue liquid and tosses it to Alistair.
"Alistair, drink this! Hurry!"
The shock of the intrustion by the horde gives Alistair the time he needs. He quickly uncaps and drinks the vial before Loghain can react.
"What was that? A potion of strength? Agility? Arcane armor?" Alistair asked.
"Hell no." Arturo said with a wink.
Suddenly the center of the Landmeet chamber was filled with naked Alistairs.
"It's a potion of duplication." Arturo turned towards the hordes of Alistair fans. "Okay! Naked Alistairs for everyone!"
The horde emits a squee so loud that all the windows in the chamber shatter.
Logain guts himself.
The End.

Wynne talks about your experience? I never noticed that. At least on my mage this time, I told her first "what not worried about ME getting hurt??" and I was quite old enough to think for myself. It bugs me to see F!Cousland (great I'm typing it that way and still don't understand wtf it means) portrayed as some kind of ho. WTF is that about anyhow? Not only in games, but alot of fics too. I don't get it.  I agree her parents would have certainly raised her better. It's been too long since I played one, Elea is sitting in Lothering waiting for Jaina to hurry the heck up...lol
