Nah it's ok, I just have to preface such things because I'm a broken record at this point and just should probably go get a life. LOLejoslin wrote...
@Addai I was not meaning to bring up old arguments at all (I didn't realize this was one). It was more trying to stay on topic! But there's a difference between hardening him, which does prepare him in many ways to be a leader among men, and not hardening him and keeping him happy being a follower, and a gray warden. His reaction to becoming king (or not becoming king, actually, if using a mod that restores a conversation with him post-landsmeet) is so different whether hardened or not. He wants to be king if hardened. If you don't make him king and you do harden him, you're depriving him of his birthright.
But, of course, that is only my opinion! I can see your argument as well. I don't think not-hardened = weak, however. He's a brave warrior no matter what.
I don't see Alistair ever talk about his birthright, even hardened, in any way except to think it's either a curse or sort of silly that people put expectations on him because of it. BTW I always want to tell him when he mentions bottling Theirin blood, that that isn't the body fluid people really need bottled.
When he's hardened, he talks about wanting to be king because he sees Anora as shady like her father and thinks neither of them are taking the Blight seriously. Later he talks about being reconciled to it. Even as a Warden, he has the potential to be a commander or to take over Gwaren and would do better at something like that if he's hardened. Just my opinion too, of course.
