Check that if you are concerned about the consequences.



As for me, I always put Anora as queen. My human noble characters marry her and sometimes I have Alistair marry her.

Who I choose depends greatly on origin (I always play females). Human noble always chooses to rule with Alistair in a political match (she's the best ruler IMO). City elf will always put Alistair on alone. Dwarf noble usually will have Anora rule. Others will usually have Anora and Alistair marry.

I always have a "hardended" Alistair king. Or I have my human noble marry Alistair. He is more "real world", as opposed to Anora knows her way around the system and does more with trading agreements and stuff like that.

I say leave politics to politicians.

Anora is queen (alone) in all of my games.

My Warden married Anora to raise Cousland influence once again, keep Leliana on the side just in case Anora doesn't give an heir. lol  I have this feeling my Warden will be leading Fereldans Armies against the Qunari in DA2.

Alistair alone always, no matter that I consider him a bit annoying.

I choose Alistair as king so my Mage chancellor has a reliable puppet on the throne.

Anora always rules. She's well respected, liked by the people of Fereldan and a good politician, so I see no reason to remove her. She either marries a hardened Alistair, my Cousland male, or rules alone.

As ejoslin said, it will depend a lot on your PC and the other choices you made like whether to spare Loghain/ marry the ruler/ become chancellor etc. I generally play elves who see Alistair as a chance for a new day. Plus I think Anora is a conniving, grasping power-hungry harpy whose queenship nearly saw the country destroyed so she doesn't really deserve to keep the throne. And her screechy "pep talk" to the army is really annoying.

That's why my Warden thought it was necessary to become Consort, because Alistair was a pushover.

If Alistair is hardened, he's fine. Epilogue says he still defers to his Warden chancellor at first, but that's because he trusts you and isn't a know-it-all.

He still likes to bugger off, and leave the chancelor in charge time to time though.

Right, which any monarch would do.  If they're on a state visit away from the palace, what else would they do?

What do you all think about marrying Anora and asking Leliana to be your mistress. In Awakening Anora either can't have kids or doesn't want to. Having a mistress to bear a child might be politically smart. But if Anora finds out you have a God Baby...........................

I prefer to let Anora rule. She's a decent ruler, maybe I even underestimate her.

Plus, I wouldn't want to condem Alistair to a life in a gilded cage. ;-)

I read that slide along time ago though but it more seemed that he would just say hey "YOURE IN CHARGE TODAY!" Not that my Human Noble minded it overmuch, but running all over Ferelden again is not what Doraleous had in mind.

I always choose Alistair (hardened), no matter what origin I'm playing. Part of it is the kind of story it is--to be making Alistair king just makes a better story, but mostly it's that I see him as being more likely to really care about the common people of Ferelden. He's also a capable war leader. I see Anora as being more of a bureaucrat than a true leader. But it depends on what makes a good story for you, and how you feel about leaders, and specifically about rulers. Some chose Anora and swear by it. I only did that once, before I knew that Alistair could be hardened so that he wanted to rule instead of Anora, and it made me feel really bad. ;) Some people make them marry, but I never do that either. It seems horribly cruel to both of them, but particularly to Alistair, who really wants nothing more than love and acceptance.

Atleast if you marry him to Anora he won't die a virgin.

I didn't get that impression at all. To me, it gave the impression that he traveled a fair amount, which I assumed was both around Ferelden to meet with nobles, deal with problems, etc., and outside Ferelden for diplomatic reasons. He would naturally leave the chancellor in charge when doing that.

??  Like he has more a chance of sleeping with the Ice Queen than if he could find his own wife?  I don't know whether to LOL or :sick:.

P.S. I highly doubt you have to worry about him being able to find a wife.  If made king, Alistair becomes the most eligible bachelor in Thedas.  Noblewomen will be throwing their panties at him at the Landsmeet.

I agree with almost everything you said (Alistair caring for the common folk, Anora being a bureaucrat) except Alistair being a capable war leader. How exactly do you come to that conclusion? We don't see any evidence in the game that he could be a good war leader. He breaks down after his order is nearly wiped out and defers to a new recruit instead of toughing it out. Yes, yes, game mechanics to make the player the group leader, but still, it doesn't support the theory that Alistair would be a good war leader.

It's one thing I always disagreed with Eamon when mentioning that Alistair would be a terrible King. At one point Eamon says "He knows how to lead troops in battle". How on earth do you arrive to that conclusion if he has never led troops in battle?

Don't mean to sound confrontative, I'm just curious what would lead you to thinking Alistair is a good war leader.

In a lot of people's playthroughs, he's not a virgin past the first major quest. ;) Besides, what makes you think Anora would want to sleep with a man who looks just like her dead husband and only childhood friend? Creepy.... Then there's the fact that they don't like each other at all. It's more likely that you're condemning him to a loveless marriage.

I'm mostly going on in game shorthand. Eamon says that he can lead troops. That's an indicator to us that he can. We're supposed to believe that what he's saying is true. We see Alistair rallying the troops very effectively before the battle of Denerim. To me, that's not just a fun bit of video, but something that's supposed to show us that Alistair is a better leader of men than he thinks he is. He was trained as a templar, and we know that they aren't just hunters of apostates, but are, in fact, an army. He's also highly skilled himself, and courageous in battle. Really, there's no reason to think he can't lead troops.
