If you find you always have to get with Alistair in every game, just play a male character and the problem goes away. ;-) The voice acting alone is worth it for some of the other possible choices...

[kaispan]

lol you're right, I think that might be the only option for me. I totally got stuck with my one little group (Wynne healing, Alistair tanking, my mage dpsing and Leliana for all the rogue-y bits). They had some nice interactions and they certainly approved of my good character, but... I missed out on all the other party members.



sigh.

You know I guess you're right, I shouldn't feel so bad then

[daelyn75]

And Kaispan that was my group too lol!

[kaispan]

haha they are a lovely group.   They made the most sense from my RPing perspective, plus I am quite fond of them individually. ^^  and Wynne + Alistair had so many cute banters.  Well, anything involving Alistair ended up cute.

But now I want to try Morrigan and Alistair (will be hard to keep the approval balanced ), and then Zevran and Alistair... and I have to get Oghren sooner this time, and play with Sten... and I haven't gotten Shale yet... And I love Dog so much but ---!! 
Actually my biggest problem is I really enjoyed playing a mage. Really really really. And so far I'm not very excited about my other PCs. They can't cast Cone of Cold.

 Zevran I couldn't get close to, I didn't know what to do to get him to like me, and not for lack of trying even though he was +18 or something he turned on me and tried to kill me.

Your problem with Zevran probally has something to do with him being gay. There are options with him my male character had. I didn't explore them. The responses I could have made looked like it would have lead to a relationship.

[daelyn75]

I missed getting the Mabari the first time, I forgot to return the flower for the quest and I felt terrible that I left the dog to suffer and die . . Ugh this game. Cone of Cold was my favorite, I was like a frost queen. I loved using blizzard on groups of Darkspawn from far away.



Oghren is a pervert . . . I just wow, he is about as bad as it gets, and I found Sten to be a woman/mage hating jerk that I couldn't talk to. But ironically he stuck around in the end and seemed cordial to me as I said my good bye to him.

[kaispan]

aww! I never could get my persuade check with the Revered Mother so Sten couldn't come along with me (never thought of lockpicking it lmao) on my first/mage playthrough. And then Zev left her, and Morrigan... Didn't install Shale til later, might be too late to grab... it's going to be a pretty lonely group facing that final battle.

Just have to bring along Lelianna with you and she convinces the Reverend Mother to let Sten out. I am not sure if it was worth it though, I ended up hardly using him. Alistair/Oghren/Shale and probably the Mabari make better fighters.

I stick to the discussion Morrigan and Oghren had the other day. They're still not sure whether Alistair even likes women.

I'm actually wondering why my city elf, who's female, would even want to romance Alistair. I find the romance options to be rather limited. You don't really have an alternative to Alistair if your character's a straight woman. All you have is the suspicious, dim-witted one, to quote Morrigan, who's always whining about something. Why would my city elf go for someone like that?

Ok, you have Zev, but... he's not really the type she'd go for either. No, not really.

He's bisexual. He goes for both the men and the ladies, and I doubt that's the reason she couldn't get close to him. It's more likely that he's an assassin, and as such isn't a very nice person. He's not evil, just like Morrigan isn't evil, but like Morrigan, he's not going to approve of a 100% goody two-shoes.

[Niveneh]

There are many gifts for both Zev, Alistair, Morrigan and Liliana, although I haven't quite cracked Alistair and Morrigan's taste yet.



Zev likes simple things - gold and silver bars, for instance. Dalish items, too.

Leilana - who also casts a wide net - enjoys religious things, flowers.



But yeah... beeing friendly with Morrigan and keeping your soul/integrity is a difficult balancing act.



In another post I mentioned my ending woes, and while I won't repeat them here, it was enough to make me want a long break before trying another playthrough. It was epic, but it was really, really depressing.



On that note - it IS a dark fantasy tale. Happy endings are purely optional, apparently.

Funnily enough, my male mage was so in love with Alistair it hurt. I swear they both spent more time being quietly confused about their feelings at the campfire than killing darkspawn.

But at least I managed a rather happy ending for them, going off to be Grey Wardens together, with Anora as sole ruler of Ferelden.

[Calistrata]

Bah, I worked so hard to romance Alistair on my mage only to find out later hell die at the end if you dont accept Morrigans deal.. and that I find out after I told her to get her sorry self out of my camp as soon as I had the chanse very early on. And I thought I hated her enough already.

I am not going to have him die on me, even if I have to start all over, so be it <_<

You know I wish there were just some more dialogue options around that whole Morrigan/Alistair decision - like he comes back to you after the deed is done. You can talk to Morrigan about it afterwards, but so far Alistair has no options around it. I guess this is what fanfic is for. heh.

If Morrigan was within my axe's reach afterwards, she'd be dead.

[KnightofPhoenix]

IT is slightly worrying that a girl was only a little hurt. And I a guy, was actually almost devastated by my ending :'(

[daelyn75]

It was an understatement, I was hurt and afterwards I had to go to a social gathering and I just wasn't myself. So yes it hit me rather hard.

[kaispan]

QQQ ...I had to stop playing. =/ I really had to pull myself out of the game, I got waaay too caught up in my character's perspective and it was honestly making me feel physically ill. Which is kinda funny now, but at the time was quite devastating. Oh, the angst!!



Anyway, I quit before the final battle and started writing a fanfiction where I could manipulate the ending to my own ends and that calmed me down quite a bit. Almost enough for a second round. ;D

[daelyn75]

All their games tend to do that to me, well Mass Effect not so much I suppose. It seems so easy to jump into someone else's skin and live as them and see and feel the world as they do, and when they experience pain I do too. Not the pain of fighting a battle mind you, but romance, and death of friends very much so.

[KnightofPhoenix]

Mass Effect moved me emotionally in the sense that I was happy. Especially since I let the council die and ushered in a new age for humanity, which is what I wanted to do al along. It gave me the feeling of satisfaction.



But this game here actually made me genuinely sad, depressed and hurt for at least 2 days. And it's the only game that did this to me.

My standard group is: Alistair, Morrigan, Wynne and myself (female Templar/Champion noblewoman). I never do well with a rogue in the party and Alistair is just so much more eye candy then Syen, that I miss him whenever he is alone in camp.

I love dog as well, and one play-through it will be just me and my dog ... let Morrigan create her baby with dog if she desires.

Yes I guess I should say I was satisfied and happy, which is what would have happened if I had become queen next to Alistair. And yes I find Sten quite unattractive, Alistair fills that gap nicely

Although I have to admit that when I started playing the game I couldn't help but relate two of the characters to Shrek 2 over and over lol. Prince Charming = King Cailan, Puss in Boots = Zevran. Yes I know, but that is what I kept thinking about whenever I saw them. By the latter half of the game I had gotten out of that silly mindset.

[kaispan]

I had an unfortunate mindset in that I kept picturing Steve Valentine when Alistair was talking, and it took a long enough time for me to separate the character, but I finally made it! For awhile it was a bit distracting... >_>
