Since a lot of people have asked me about this, I've made a guide

THE COMPHRENSIVE “HOW TO BECOME THE QUEEN OF FERELDAN WITH ALISTAIR AS YOUR KING-HUSBAND” GUIDE


By Jakia


1.     Play as a Human Noble Female. 
a.     Alistair does not do men, sadly.  We are still waiting for that mod.
b.     Human Nobles are the only way to become Queen.  You can still romance Alistair as an elf or a dwarf or a mage, but if you make Alistair King, he will break up with you unless you are a Noblewoman, because the council will not accept a peasant as their Queen.  At least in my experience.  If it is possible to become Queen and not be a noblewoman, please let me know/write your own guide

2.     Max out your Persuade/Coercian skill

a.     This is not the most important step in this process, but in my honest opinion it is a good option to take.  The future King has a bit of a thick head, sometimes, and a little persuasion is always a good thing to have.

3.     Get to 100% Approval with Alistair
a.     There are many steps you can take to get to this point.  In general, be a good person, spam him with gifts (he likes mystical runes and whatnot), do his sidequest, flirt with him, whatnot.

4.     Sleep with Him
a.     As much of a gentleman Alistair is, he is still A Man and Therefore Has Needs.  He will not sleep with you unless you have him at 100% approval.  Once you sleep with him, however, he basically considers you to be his soul mate.  Moral of the story?  If you want to be Queen, put out.

5.     Prior to Landsmeet, Talk to Anora

a.      Anora isyour lover-boy’s rival for the throne, and by the Maker does she want tocontinue to be Queen.  When you speak to her, she will ask for your support.  Tell her you want Alistair to be King instead. 
When she asks why, tell her that Alistair is strong, brave, and a good man.  She will accuse you of just wanting
to get in his pants and become Queen yourself.  You can deny that if you want, but I didn’t.  She will then comment that Maric’s boys are quite a catch, and then you two will be done talking.

6.     Prior to Landsmeet, Talk to Alistair

a.     He will express…concern over the fact that someone *hinthint* told Anora they thought he would be a good King.  Tell him you think he would be great at being King, and throw encouragement after encouragement at him.  If you are max persuade, you may even be able to do some further convincing.  He should be by the end of the conversation where he still doesn’t want to be King…but he does want whatever is best for Fereldan, which is probably being king.

7.     At Landsmeet, Kill Loghain

a.     Alistair hates the man.  You should too!  Support killing Loghain for some quick bonus approval.  Getting Loghain to be a Grey Warden will end up with Alistair leaving your party, and no one wants that.

8.     At Landsmeet, Talk to Alistair
a.     After killing Loghain, the nobles at the meeting
will want your opinion on who should rule. 
Tell them you need to speak with Alistair first.

b.     Alistair will still be reluctant to rule, but
having Anora betray you will definitely make him more willing to take the
throne.  Reassure him some more.

9.     Declare Alistair King, and You Will Rule Beside Him
a.     Here is where having max-persuade really comes into play.  When the council asks you who should rule, you will get the choice to say (persuade) “Alistair will be King, and I will rule beside him.” 

b.     Alistair will freak out momentarily, but it turns out he really likes the idea.  After the Landsmeet, he will confirm your engagement and spout some loving lines your way.

10.  Create a Demon Baby
a.     At Redcliff, Morrigan approaches you with anoffer to save both you and Alistair. 
Take it.  If you do not, either you or Alistair will die against the archdemon. Reassure Alistair that you are okay with him cheating on you to save both of your lives.

11.  Beat the Game and Become Queen
a.     If you follow all these steps and beat the game,  you become Queen.  You and Alistair get married six months after the final battle.  It’s as close to a happy ending as you get in this game.  Congratulations! 

FAQ:
1.     I did this but I didn’t become Queen!
a.     I am so sorry. I don’t know what else to tell you? These are the steps I’ve taken and they’ve worked for me.

2.     Do I have to “harden” Alistair?
a.     I didn’t. It might not hurt, though.

3.     But I don’t want the demon-baby!
a.     Then you or Alistair dies.  The end!

4.     But I don’t want to be Queen!
a.     Then why did you read this guide on how to
become Queen?!

5.     Why can’t my elf/dwarf/mage be Queen?
a.     I haven’t tested it out myself, but I’ve been told it’s because you aren’t a noblewoman.  Hardening Alistair may change that, but I personally haven’t tested it out.

6.     Is there any other happy ending out there?
a.     Sure there is! You can encourage Alistair to not be King, and the two of you can let Morrigan have her demon-baby and then go frolic in the countryside!  It’s perfectly happy!  I just like being Queen.:whistle:

Hope this helps some you out there,

Yesss, I was rather disappointed that my family background didn't play more of a role in the Landsmeet.  Nobody even mentions it.  I mean, supposedly Loghain and Howe did something to discredit the Couslands (though we never learn what was done or said), but Daddy was very popular, and everyone in the room knows who you are.  Surely there are banns who would have things to say about the fact that your family was pretty darn close to the Crown, itself.


Talk to the nobles in the Gnawed Noble tavern.  All of them recognize you if you're noble.

More of a reason for you to have a claim to the throne without marriage! :(


The Couslands are no relation whatsoever to the royal family. If just being a noble gave you a claim, then every person in the Landsmeet would have been a contender for the throne.

Yes but in that sense, Anora has no real claim either. She's a commoner who became queen by a marriage to a dead man who left no heirs.
If Alistair buggers off or is killed, then Maric's bloodline is dead, gone, poof, finito. Yeah there's Eamon's family but with the Connor incident I suspect they'd be seen as a liability.
In that case, the other nobles may have a claim too.. but then YOU have a big ol' army behind you.

Just seems to me it should've been an option..


Escalating the civil war wouldn't have led to getting a unified Ferelden army fighting the archdemon.  I guess we could have put that option in, and then you get "Game Over" as you and everyone else in Ferelden get eaten by darkspawn.  Next time, I guess.

Psh, I doubt it would've escalated..
You a Cousland + Loghain on side + army + Maric's line dead = nobles proclaim new queen! Yay!


Loghain won't support you over his own daughter. 

And you don't have a personal army.  You have: Eamon's army (and he won't support you over someone with royal blood.)  Elves or werewolves(who agreed to fight the darkspawn and aren't going to get involved in fighting a human political war), Dwarves (who also won't help you fight a political war) and mages, who the Chantry won't let fight a political war.  So... what you've got is you and your followers, versus all the nobles and their armies, who are now each fighting for the crown.

I guess, if you don't kill her, maybe you could ask Flemmeth for help.  That could be good for a laugh.
