I have a question about the TMP's Mod. I have it installed; however what does your approval rating need to be at before you can get hugs and alone time with Alistair?
Thank for the help.

The hugs and alone times are part of IRS. I believe the alone times come at Adore level. Hugs, not sure.

Lol since I haven't create a character yet because I need to figure out how to get more than one hair/makeup/eyes mod to work without conflicting...I started Leliana's song. BiowareConfigure had set my video details on low for about everything for no reason at all. So I shrugged and turned all options on (very) high again and it worked smoothly. Yay for that. The graphic is sooo entirely more awesome on PC, really.
Strangely enough is my first screenshot ever made one of Leliana. Go figure.

Prompt: First Meeting
Alistair wasn't much of a drinker, sure he shared pints with the rest of the Wardens in the short time he spent amidst their number, but now he felt like nothing short of a swig of Ohgren's not-so-secret stash could remove the crushing sensation of dread in his chest.
The thoughts and dreams - nay, nightmares that haunted him since entering the Chantry was the idea that at any moment he could be drafted into service of Ferelden as King, of all things. With Duncan's arrival and his induction into The Grey Wardens he finally felt free of any kind of blood-borne obligation to the throne.
Now his Father was long lost to the sea, his Half-Brother dead at the hands of the Darkspawn, and now his bestfriend suddenly has become his worst enemy shoving into the line of fire. Instead of staring down the hideous horned maw of the Archdemon a new challenge presented itself in the form of golden locks framing the ice blue eyes of Queen Anora.
His betrothed.
She had summoned him shortly after Eamon and the wily Cousland had finished discussing his sentence as King of the Blight-ravaged nation. Between the two Nobles the Archdemon's defeat was all but a formality as they bantered back and forth as if he was some practice dummy modelling Sophia Dryden's still musty yet functional armor.
Alistair found his tongue felt heavy in his head as her Blue eyes probed his own for a quiet minute. He had no words - not even a clumsy attempt at self deprecation, rather he stood there wishing he had at least brought his shield with him.
"So", was all she said, the syllable simply hung in the air.
"Yeah", was his rather belated reply.
His uneasiness was contagious, the Queen's once penetrative gaze softened and then wandered from his eyes to his gauntlet sheathed fingers that had begun drumming noisily on his breastplate. Their betrothal was already off to a great start.
"Must - you?"
"Sorry", he regained control of his hands. The fidgeting spread to his other limbs as he began to shift his weight from foot to foot which was only slightly less noisome.
"No, I am sorry. Its good to have a chance to properly meet one another."
"Yes, the whole escape from Howe's clutches only for the sudden surrender to Cautherien was a poor first meeting so lets - start over."
"A fresh start."
"Exactly."
"So..."
"Marriage. We're getting married."
"Right, your friend there was insistent that we'd make a smart match."
"This is the same fellow who tried to reason with Werewolves that were consistently attempting to murder us. Also the forest was equally keen our deaths. I even spied a shifty looking squirrel sharpening its teeth on a rather large stone."
Anora raised an eyebrow.
"It could've been an acorn. Its beady eyes threw me off. And... I'll just stop now."
The Queen smiled and gave a rather polite laugh. He heard that laugh before, the laugh of the wildly disinterested, but the smile was new. Alistair could tell grins and smirks were not part of her regular social repertoire.
"Alistair", she spoke his name as if testing it out like a newly forged weapon, "the bulk of this alliance is for the sake of the Kingdom. The nation needs for us to have a strong front, I'm sure as part of your Templar training you have been drilled in -"
"Yes, I'm quite well versed in battlefield tactics. They think my storied lineage coupled with your experience and well-earned good grace with the people of Ferelden will allow for the country to not fall into disarray once the Blight is quelled."
"Oh, so you believe you can halt the Blight?"
"Out of all things my companions and I have accomplished in gathering our allies and facing the - the stuff of nightmares, by Andraste's Grace I have full faith that we are up to the task."
Anora met his gaze once again, as she nodded in response to his answer he caught sight of a stray golden strand that now hovered above her left eye. Cousland was right, Anora was quite beautiful, and it wouldn't be so bad to see her across from the dinner table or find her caught up in his arms with the occasional dance at formal functions.
"Will there be dancing at the wedding?", he blurted, the question catching Anora off-guard.
"I - I do believe so. Do you not wish for there to be such a formality as the public usually -"
"Oh no, no I... dancing, good."
Alistair half wished for the familiar yet dreaded tingle behind his eyes that usually foretold of a Darkspawn ambush. Right now swooping of any kind would be good. Luckily Anora's Elven handmaiden bustled into the room and filled the awkward silence with an Orlesian lilted request for his shield-wielding presence by his fellow Grey Warden. With that he offered a simple half bow half head nod before quickly departing from the presence of the women.

Glad you liked it rak. Leliana is my fave by a loooooong shot. And I think the WC achievment is the Alistair sacrifice. The Redeemer is for Loghain, the US for yourself. I did it long ago with my first ever female playthrough. Been a long time since then, but it was a terrible ending. The ending was like the DR where she was congratulated by Anora, but it was odd that there was little pain or remorse felt by anyone since that character romanced Alistair. It was just too happy an ending for what had happened.
I felt that, too. There's no funeral for Alistair who just saved the whole nation and no one talks to you about your loss ... I thought what?! That was very bad story writing IMO. I deleted that save immediately after the playthrough ...

@longtimecoming - Great guest prompt! If you'll go here, you can add it to the official list of prompts so those who might miss seeing your post can find it.
@Rage - I love your fill (all but Wynne, but I'll forgive ya!). Too funny.
@Giggles - Woot!!! Thanks for sharing about ESV! That will be on next years Christmas list, I am sure (If I can wait that long since it comes out in November ROFL).
@Esbatty - Excellent fill! Thank you so much for participating. I imagine Alistair and Anora's first meeting would go very much like that. Poor Alistair.

I had been waiting to see him, my liberator, waiting amidst the jibes, the pain, and the conflict. Undistinguished at first, one of those puny humans bothering me, an insignificance like a snowflake on the wind. Some trivial human name…
Then I saw his soul… I can see souls you see, but I cannot really express them…
His was very pure and beautiful, oh, there were slight marks on it, blemishes if you will, fine scratches, but trifles really, things that caused him inordinate concern, him being the being that he was…
Then he came at me. It was painful, there is no denying it but also cathartic and sweet, the first cleansing step on my outwards path. I roared and screamed of course, as much in happiness as anything, but it was our fate that we belonged to different worlds then still and he could not understand…
He feared me I felt, feared me and also feared what would come afterwards, for me it would be a gain, for him a loss and he knew that. Nevertheless, he lunged again… So brave.
My dissolution began and he fell to his knees death running her cold hands over his body, clasping his heart in her icy fingers.
The deed was done and for a moment that I wished would last forever, our spirits fused and we filled each other, his youth my antiquity, his innocence my experience, his beauty my ugliness and then I knew, or hoped, I would be free as we both grappled our way towards oblivion…

@Maria - That was an amazing prompt. I would have never thought to depict the AD meeting Alistair. And Yankee nailed it. Chilling, indeed.
