I can think of several conversations this might be, but didn't know that he asked for an explanation in those. Which one is this? (You will have noticed by now that I never play things that make Alistair sad, and so am fuzzy on the details.TheGrumpyOne wrote...

Ok, I killed off my warden. Couldn't get a good screen of her slugging him, it looks like he's slugging her...lol
Was fun trying to explain to my husband why I'm teary-eyed after all these months of playing....he just shakes his head now. Never doing that again. She was an AW, had never killed off a mage before, was interesting.
He already talks about it in Origins in certain circumstances, i.e. that he is not a Warden anymore. Like if you've friended him rather than romanced, and he tries to recruit you into his court, he says "if they can make an exception for me, they can make one for you."LadyDamodred wrote...
How about this? In the realm of pure speculation here, we see in Awakening that Alistair really isn't considered a Warden anymore, probably because he's King. How do you think he feels about this?
I'm all for inclusive sparsely-clothed Alistairs as well. The others will not have the blessing of the thane helmet, but those Alistairs will muddle through I'm sure.SurelyForth wrote...

Sure you can't physically stop being tainted and that might technically make you still a Warden but if you just up and left like Alistair can do and like the Warden can do, you're not really a Warden anymore. You don't have to take your orders from Weisshaupt and unless you think they'll send assassins after you then the other Wardens really don't have any recourse against your decision to leave.Khalara wrote...

I didn't think that one could actually stop being a Warden. I mean as king he would no longer be expected to fight darkspawn but if he doesn't become king then, he would be.

I always wondered why, in some of the endings, Alistair was called to Weisshaupt rather than the warden who lived after slaying the AD.

You staying or going wouldn't make them any more or less hard-up as Orlais isn't exactly hurting for Wardens and they send people over. I can see if you decide to leave the order and Alistair has a good excuse to have done it because he's going to be King they might think he'd be more receptive. Does a King Alistair with Loghain having become a GW (whether he lives or dies) ever get called to Weisshaupt or do they respect his decision to quit? If they do and Alistair only gets called if Loghain died at the Landsmeet then he would technically still be a part of the order while you up and left it.rak72 wrote...

That slide seems to show up if you don't choose to stay and rebuild the wardens. I guess they want to find out from him why no one died. Maybe if you stay to rebuild, they are not as hard up for more wardens, and they let it slide.

Yes, that's Alistair under that helm.
Maybe not if you've been conscripted and would get arrested by the Chantry/ the law otherwise. The Wardens don't seem to enforce much military discipline, though, because the taint kind of enforces Grey Wardening all on its own.Khalara wrote...

If the Warden romances him and dies, he does leave the order saying it's not the same. Personally I think Alistair is happy if he has a place where he can feel he's doing good and ideally with someone who values him. That just happened to be Duncan in Origins. But if that's in the kingship, he does well there. If it's as a Warden, he does well if he's with the PC lover, at least as far as we know. IOW I don't think he's as gung-ho Warden as he seems to be. It's just the place he thinks he can exercise his ideals and find a sense of belonging.As to how he'd feel about it, I dunno. Most of those he considered "family" were killed at Ostagar. Would he feel the same with Grey Wardens from other countries? (I'm actually presenting something like this scenario in the story I'm writing, He'll have a very hard choice that involves possibly giving up being a Warden)

Except, you know, Alistair wouldn't actually feel the need to listen to people in the Anderfels trying to tell him how to run his country.That's what I was getting at there as far as the taint itself. And it would be bad politically if the Warden in charge (via Weishaupt) started trying to give orders to the ruler of another country, (if Alistair is king)
That's how I see it. He never says that he had always dreamt of being a Warden, just that he was desperate to get away from the Chantry and Duncan coming to recruit gave him the chance. As we see in some of his sadder epilogues, if he comes up against a messier picture of the Wardens, he decides it's not for him after all. That makes me think it's not so much the GWs themselves as it is to be in a situation where he can do some good and feel a part of something noble, where he's valued.Khalara wrote...
So it was kind of like being a Warden was secondary to him in comparison of simply being wanted and valued by whoever...? I don't know.. he does make a big deal of it being an honor to be a GW.
