Since when is loving a fictional character not allowed? I don't mean actually loving him like loving a real person, but loving the character. Well-done characters will evoke emotions in you, be it in books, tv, movies or games. Have you never cried at something you read or saw? Laughed? Gotten angry?

Edit:  Who loves ya, baby?

srsly I am getting concerned here


Spending 5$ on a crappy DLC just to see a fictional character die is as concerning.

Which?
DSC on Witch Hunt?

I did do the stabbity ending with Everd. Damn was that bad.

Metal, how is you hating on him any different from someone else liking him? I swear, all this fuss over a fictional game character. I enjoy the game and have played through over 30 times but I still recognize that all the characters in it are just characters. Just because someone disagrees with you doesn't mean they have lost touch with reality.

However, I DO seriously question your mental state.

Ha! I have a playthrough like that. . . .



In fact, redoing it now on the PC. I play a super-b!tch Cousland, who hardens Leli and keeps Alistair all gushy and soft, so she can rule. . . she also keeps Leli on the side. I tried to keep Zevran, too, but that didn't work too well . . . .



Anyway, a people's touch is nice and all, but it doesn't make an effective ruler. I love the idea of an overly ambitious Cousland ruler. You can gain so much power in one of the endings. And Alistair is compeltely oblivious the whole time.



Gawd, my sister would kill me if she read this. She worships Alistair's character. I think she made over 20 Grey Wardens, and they all romance him o.0

"but not that bad cause he is fictional" I'm not following you. I shouldn't love him or feel as much emotion for him because he's fictional?

Edit:  I don't believe I've ever said that.  If pressed, I can argue points against Alistair as easily as for him.  I happen to love the character.  There is absolutely nothing wrong with that.  As for hugging him, I'm not literally doing that.

Though if I had an Alistair plushie, I totally would.  I like Bioware missing out on a great revenue generator there.  Image IPB

If you really want to see it, let me spare you some money:


Not worth 5$ is it?

well now don't you think its kind of silly to hate a character because they respond the way the game has programmed them. Since you hate him I doubt you have him romanced so its not a problem for you. And others who have taken him with them either did it unknowing (and still loved the ending that a guy would die for you, even if he broke up with you) or knowingly did it to get the ending, or leave him at the gate (No persuade is necessary. I did it on one of my Queen Cousland runs. Needless to say she wasn't queen.)


Well, it's equally as silly to LIKE a character for only doing what he's programmed to do.  Image IPB

Games with companions always have people who like them, and people who hate them.  I doubt anyone actually is that far gone as to think he - or any other character - is a real person.

But hey, it's fun talking about companion characters in games - or books, or movies - we like, whether you love them or hate them.

Indeed. I love a good debate.  Just pointing out you seemed to take it a bit personally that he doesn't allow you to make the US if he loves you and since you hate him, it's kind of a moot point that you will reach this scenario anyway, since you won't be triggering the romance anyway.  I was merely explaining why some people might actually have a different view of the same scenario.

Okay, let's all play nice, and not question anyone's mental state.
Or Alistair will be unhappy with you.  Or happy with you, depending on how you feel about him.  Or something.  Image IPB

Oh, I was just trying to get some discussion going.

However, on the topic of him and a fem warden doing a US, it's interesting.  On the one hand, I'd never let my wife do that.  On the other, I'd love the fact that she was ready to.

Go back and read my post.  I don't say anything about questioning your mental state over killing a character in a video game.  I question your mental state over getting all worked up over a character in a video game.

Yeah but she's much more of a handful to deal with too.  It's a tradeoff.  Alistair might not be as awesome but he's a "safe" choice... which probably has a lot to do with his popularity.
