Something I forgot I had:



Hey, it was Morrigan's idea, ok?

[nos_astra]

Haha, I love the banter there. ^^

[Schratty]

Yes, somewhow I don't think the Reverand Mother's going to be okay with that



@ Zjarcal: ...Oops...I guess you weren't pulling my leg about the whole Ali/Zev thing...My bad?

He's sooooooo cute when he says that line!

@Reika & Tigress:  I know!  That, I have to say, is my favourite conversation out of all of them.  He just does the cutest smile when he says that line. I mean, look at that face! Look. At. That. Face.

And I happen to have done that conversation when I was trying tmp's pants on him.  He wasn't the only one blushing.

Okay, here's my silly attempt...

"There were times Alistair almost wished he'd never left the Chantry." This was one of them.

I've been playing Fable III all weekend, so I'm catching up.  Just wanted to say that I love this.  I would hang this up in my apartment.

I am NOT snipping!  That's much too adorable.  

How is it that after almost a year of seeing that cute face and hearing that sexy voice, I still can't get enough of it?  Yep, I'm an Alistair Addict.

So I'm reading LD's Mistakes on FF.Net (really good AU Maric/lil Alistair tale) and Addai posted a review where she wished someone would make a pic of Alistair and Maric on the horse as they ride out of Redcliffe. 20 mins later and I had this pulled out of my head. I'm thinking of asking her to be my muse for a night job
Sort of a wonder/fear expression on his face at his first horse ride and Dad holding him with a look of confidence "I won't drop you, son." kind of thing.
If only Maric had done this in the canon, things would have been so different.

Love it, Syl!

If you haven't read the story you should. Teagan is just freaking awesome in it too! And Maric really chews out Eamon's ass in it too!

@ Lady Jess That ending is a fun one. As for what happens to Alistair I couldn't say. I always make him king with or without Anora.
@Giggles Have you tried the DN where you killed Trian? That can make for some interesting plot twists.

Yes I have:
Dain Aeducan did that, and the sided with Bhelen later. Really interesting dialouge you get there.
Thorin Aeducan did not, but that didnt stop him from shield bashing Bhelen to death later on,

That's what one of my Aeducans did. Serena I believe. She didn't flat out kill Trian, it was self defense. She knew baby brother was playing both sides against the middle. But she expected to get through to Trian. She sided with Harrowmont when she got to Orzimmar, pretty much out of spite. But she knew the old man was, well OLD and Bhelen would get his chance. Unfortunately for him he got a big old case of Teh Stoopids so she killed him. With a shrug she realized she was the smarter sibling after all, and as Paragon and Heir to house Aeducan now, she's in line. Even better, she's got the ear of the human king.

Yay!  And yes, you said it.  If only, if only...  but I think Alistair turned out to be the man he is because of what he went through.  Cailan could have used a little less princely pampering.

[Tigress M]

@Syl - that's lovely!



Well... Alistair has given his rose to my current warden four times so far. I, frustratingly keep clicking on him by mistake as we traipse through the Brecilian Forest, which is NOT where I want to get the rose (all covered in blood, etc) so I keep reloading... and making the same mistake. It's definitely Monday.

[Lady Jess]

I sorta missed romancing Alistair this time. Because he will say "I love you". But looking closer, Zev may not be able to say it out loud but he can sure as hell communicate it with a look.







Also Alistairs friendship gate line was awesome ending with finding the arch demon and kick it's ass. Just too bad the good "friend" libes don't come in normal conversation, and have to wait til the end.

I was only irritated from a gameplay perspective. There were several conversations along the way that seemed to emphasize that love was a sacred thing to Zevran. The fact that he couldn't sleep with the warden once he realized he was in love and that whole earring thing ... it just seemed like the payoff was supposed to be a declaration of love at the end of all that (especially after Gorim and Alistair being so open with their feelings). When I got to the post-coronation and he still didn't confess his love, I honestly thought I had picked the wrong line somewhere and googled for spoilers. Turned out he never said it. Seemed pretty anti-climatic. Kinda like going after Morrigan in Witch Hunt expecting answers or a big payoff after spending all that time, but Morrigan is the same old, same old. Obviously not saying "I love you" wasn't a dealbreaker since I've romanced him a few more times, knowing what to expect and what to look for -- it just that on my first game with Zev, it seemed that's what the story was building up to. Then again, we thought we were going to live happily ever after with Alistair and that he wasn't ever going to break up with us, right? =p Hindsight is 20/20 and there's a bunch of stuff we don't know on our first romances like the hardening thing or that Zev was supposed to have said other stuff at the gates.

[Giggles_Manically]

I still laugh when I remeber hearing my sister get dumped by Alistair.



Me and my dad were watching one of the Bourne films, in the living room, and the computer she was on, was right behind the couch pretty much.



Things were okay and I noticed that she was at the landsmeet. Then:

YOUUU BASSTTTARRRDD!!!!!!!!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!



She was a human noble, but she let Alistair duel loghain, while unhardened then she kinged him.

Then he dumped her, and yelled at her for making him king.



She finished the game by feeding him to the archdemon, and refusing to even consider playing again.

[Addai]

@Gilsa, I think the rationale is that the words "I love you" can be very cheap, especially for someone like Zevran who has used words, seduction, etc. to manipulate. Not even Alistair says "I love you" except in certain limited dialogue circumstances. IMO Gaider avoids this as cliche'd. That would be my guess, anyway.

I know exactly how you feel. The first time, I got to the gates and fully expected to get I love you too but got "I...I know that" I just play it now that in the face of certain death via archdemon He's back to trying really hard to protect himself. I do think the writers maybe took it a bit far with the idea though. There should have been ONE all out "I love you" from him, after the proposal. But then again, HE proposes, Alistair...not so much...lol

[Gilsa]

LOL, I was mad after my first game that it ended on such a sour note after all those hours I put into it and DG's comments on the forums was all, "We get that people want escapism, but that's not what what this game is about." I have a running joke with my husband when he asks if I want to see a movie and I'll say no if I know the movie won an Oscar because it usually means it ended tragically enough. You know, Titanic, Brokeback Mountain, Cold Mountain, Moulin Rogue, etc. =p

Alistair says it like 4 times.

"You're a true friend and I...I love you" (Outside Goldanna's)
"Have I told you that I love you? I did? Well it won't kill you to hear it again" (after the tent)
"See? THIS is why I love you" (One smart comment and I'll feed them to the darkspawn, post tent)
"And I love you. Always." (at the gates)

I've gotten all four in single playthroughs with him. Zev shows it, and proposes, which Alistair doesn't. So I guess it evens out. But omg hat a tease Gaider is.

"You know I love you"
"I...I know that"

OMG SO CLOSE!!!

[Giggles_Manically]

I think it adds to Zevran though that he is the only LI who never says I love you.

Even Morrigan says that.

Oh, I get that, I do. I'm just saying that on the FIRST game, back when there weren't spoilers galore and nobody had their hands on the toolset to unearth all the little VO notes and so on, when you have no clue what to expect, it seemed to me the game was making a big deal out of  the subject of love with Zevran that I assumed that the verbal words were supposed to be the payoff. I misinterpreted.

Edit: Kaidan doesn't confess his love in ME1 and I didn't expect it either. Game wasn't putting an emphasis on it -- they were just happy to have whatever time they had together before facing the great unknown.

some people need to be told, some people assume it never needs to be said. Are you a "I need to be told" person, or do you let actions speak louder then words?

Why didn't she pick "rule beside  him"?

I'll tell you what, if we ever see our wardens again I would die of happy to find mine being Mrs Arainai. Especially my upcoming Tabris. She'll actually romance Alistair to a point. But that'll be shattered when Eamon announces to her that he's heir to the throne. Not just the lie, but she's rather bbitter about the whole arranged marriage thing still. If that hadn't been arranged, the attack wouldn't have happened, in her mind. Alistair is the first human she trusts, and she lets herself forget that human+elf= human babies, convinces herself it doesn't matter. Til the reveal. Then she realizes she's been foolish. So she'll end up with Zev in the end.  First for fun, then...more.
