What are your thoughts on the Queen?  Does she seem like a tyrant?  Will she make a good ruler?  Would she make a good partner on the throne? Does she seem like a **** or a decent person?

[packardbell]

She seemed to be a capable administrator and figurehead as explained, in reality it was probably her ruling the country when Caliahn was pursuing his foolhardy notions.

Heh, well technically his questions only asked our thoughts of her, but how she ends up ruling the kingdom is detailed in the epilogue, so I'm wondering if he means whwat we tink of her pre-ending or post-ending.

[TuringPoint]

Either or both. People dont seem to get much impression of her. People seem to more often dislike her than like her. I think she's interesting and would like to hear others' perceptions of her, if any.



Her battle speech made me cringe, mostly for the voice acting.

[DM Veil]

She was a **** when I went to rescue her, but at the end of the game she seemed reasonable enough to me.

[packardbell]

I've completed the game with Anora becoming queen and letting Loghain become a grey warden and she done more or less what was expected of her, that is becoming a good leader.



Yes and her battle speech was rather cringe worthy mostly because of the voice actresses inability to sound epio when she is shouting however Alistair trumps her in that regard.

[TuringPoint]

Shouldn't have shouted.



I look forward to trying to rule by her side, lol.

Shes to power hungry for my likeing

I think the writers thought this as well cause (in one of my endings) when I put her in power she squashed and killed the elves of the alienage later one when they spoke out!

Also I have a hard time trusting someone that lies at every turn to ensure she gets power and then refuses to accept a new ruler, not her, when she loses her bid.

As for a good partner, well she is VERY HEALTHY and has a good sized set of lungs on her so as a partner, I can definately see a upside to keeping her around (nudge nudge wink wink) heh.

Course, Lelianna is drop dead georgeous so if they not willing to share, Id have to pick Lelianna over Anora, truth be told!

[NTsikuris]

yeah i definitely let Alistair put her in a tower. I had my female human noble marry him and become the Princess Consort to Alistair. In the ending epilouge it said Alistair was a honorable king and the people saw how much he loved his Princess.



Anora just seemed too power hungry for me. too much like her father. she is definitely her fathers daughter.

[Elanareon]

Haha Queen Anora is my wife!! And im the next king of Ferelden.

[Nyaore]

I rather liked Anora to be honest despite her faults. She's a strong character, and very much a breath of fresh air compared to all the other 'Queen/Princess' archetypes you see in most media. She's a schemer, just like her father was before her, and not someone who is willing to just sit back and meekly do what is told to her. Yet at the same time she's clearly a flawed individual, her throwing you under the wagon if you don't promise your support during the Landsmeet shows just how ambitious she truly is, which made her seem more realistic in the end.
I can't say that I appreciated being betrayed the first time around as I never had any intention of making Alistiar king in the first place, but in the end I still can't help but admire her to a certain extent.

Well she definitely would make a good dominatrix! A good Queen though? Not so much.... Way too rash,dominant and manipulative imho.

Well I still married her though in my first playthrough, since I "role played" a character who likes this kind of woman!^^

Queen Anora? Well where do i begin.. i fight with her over the throne, tell her i'm the King so i make the decisions. She get's mad plots my assassination with a reanimated Zeveran (who died after he tried to betray me!) Guess DA2 can be called "Dragon Age 2: Death of a Warden"

Haha no really, i don't mind her, we're married and I have the power and my bloodline on the throne sooo, Grey Warden FTW!!!

[minamber]

I liked Anora during my first playthrough, but that may just be because my character supported her for the crown on the grounds that she was probably way more competent than Alistair. So she didn't have to scheme and she was trustworthy then. I was actually much more annoyed with Alistair when he pitched a temper tantrum after I wanted to spare Loghain.

I also didn't blow her cover when meeting Ser Cauthrien so she didn't betray me then (and to be fair, she does warn you not to blow her cover because she doesn't want to be taken back to her father).

Overall, she seemed ambitious but still rather nice in that playthrough, and every NPC seemed to agree that she made a good queen.

I'll see how she seems in my second playthrough when I won't support her...

[sylkwyrm1]

i'm still waiting for a reason why i shouldn't slit this ****es throat and dump her in the river, i'm not hearing one yet.

[tanglefoot79]

The biggest impression she made on me was that she handled me killing her father quite well. I actually had a great deal of regret about being forced into it after his speech about daughters staying six forever. But for this play through loosing Alistair wasn't an option.

[Akka le Vil]

She is a self-serving, backstabbing, powermongering b*tch and BADLY need to die.

My greatest gripe with the game is probably that you can't kill her. Or drown her in the blood of her father. Or sell her in slavery to the Tevinter. Or release her, naked and unarmed, in the Deep Road, well behind the darkspawns lines.



Yeah, THAT would be good.

[Varenus Luckmann]

I think that she's a genuinely capable ruler. Note that I haven't seen the all the possible endings, but she seems to be much like her father in that she wants what is best for Ferelden, even if her father was completely mad in that regard. I don't think she's really power-hungry. I think she just feels entitled to the formal title of the work that she's been carrying out regardless for years.

On a personal level, I don't really like her, simply because she's a meddlesome and snake:ish ****. But as a ruler, sure, she's got my vote. Administratory, she's more likely than not better than Alistair.

[The Angry One]

She's either a tyrant or a terrible ruler, in that she either colluded with Loghain's obvious tyranny, or she was incapable of stopping him as Queen.

That he is her father has little to do with it, a competent ruler puts the good of the nation before family.



So in my opinion, she's the worst possible candidate to rule. Installed by marriage, accessory to tyranny. She has no place on the throne and preferably should be thrown into the Deep Roads with a sign saying "FREE BROODMOTHER" stapled to her back.

Not that I'm sadistic or anything..

[sylkwyrm1]

i'd have liked the option to kill her and then landsmeet option

[persuade/lie] She was killed by arl howe, as you well know. She never could accept what you did to Cailan could she, Loghain?

or something to that effect for the bad guys

probably would have made him attack then and there, and outright refuse becoming a grey warden, coulda been a nice outcome

Especially considering the very reason she holds her father is such a high regard was that he was supposed to think of his country first, and that her only argument for being named as ruler is that she pretends to be competent and efficient and placing the good of the nation above anything.

So you can add "hypocrite" to the long list of her personnal flaws.

She knows how to come out ahead, but she's not as insane about it as Bhelen and Loghain are.

Loghain, despite being completely wrong about everything, at least believed he was doing what was right.
In a twisted sense, Bhaelen *does* do what is right. He's a brutal SOB and a treacherous backstabber, sure. But in Dwarven politics that's how you survive. He is in the end good for Orzammar.
Anora? All she ever does is plot and scheme to maintain her cosy lot in life, she doesn't give a damn about the country or her responsibilities.
