 PCF = Post coronation fight.

I'm wondering if a post coronation fight should have happened in the case where your character kills Loghain, makes Alistair solo king, and then lets Alistair sacrafice himself to the Archdemon.  Then Anora becomes queen and is freed from Fort Draken.   It seems out of character for her to say "oh you splattered my father's blood on me and locked me up but good on you for defeating the blight, have any boon you want".  She has plenty of ammo being queen to charge you for something you did during the game.  For instance, it seems odd your character can just kill her father infront of the landsmeet instead of sending him off to be executed.  Another crime that the Warden could be charged with is the murder of Arl Howe as Loghain mentioned at the Landsmeet.  It was in self defence sort of but you did break into his home.  Anora, like she does when you claim you are rescuing her to  Ser Cauthrien, could claim she was not being held captive and that Emon and the Warden are lying.  

Getting to the point I'm wondering with that ending  if  Anora should charge the Warden with crimes and demand  that the Warden surrender.  Of course the Warden would not and then guards and Anora could fight the Warden and the Warden's companions in the room.  If the Warden wins he/she leaves the hall and possibly has to fight to escape Denerim.  After that the epiloge says something about the Warden being a fugitive on the run and Ferelden falling into civil war and chaos after the queen is murdered.    A number of things could have happened after that such as the Orleasians taking over Ferelden again.

That would be a really popular move from Anora.

Yep, always smart to take the person whom is the leader of your military and immensely popular with the people, who just saved everyone's bacon, and charge them with crimes -- especially when your country is just recovering from both a blight and a civil war.

Who exactly would arrest the warden again?

Edit: Ok, this response was a bit snarkier than I intended, but it would make no sense for Anora to try to arrest the warden.  The warden IS the leader of the military.  The warden IS the hero of the land.  

Anora is a politician.  She would know better.  While she will not marry the person who kills her father, that seems to really be her only line.

I know she is a good politician and I went way too far with the post coronation fight though I think it'd be fun. However, I think in that case a lot more recognition of Alistair's sacrifice and more of a "Oh and the other Gray Warden that was helpful in the battle is still alive today" would have been more realistic. In this case Alistair with his heroic act gave her the throne the Warden tried to deny her. So I'd think she'd have more respect for Alistair and less for the Warden. I think in the case were Alistair kills Loghain and takes the throne himself, her standard speech at the landsmeet is very appropriate. It's even appropriate if the Warden makes her queen but kills her father, she'd respect that even if it made her very sad.

No, the coronation was basically the epilogue. That would ruin it. You start the game up again right as it's ending and people will have the same unfinished feeling they did with Awakening and DA2. And in a huge number of games, Anora is in the tower. Who would charge the Warden and the Fing of Ferelden with crimes?

If Anora is in the tower, nobody would charge the Warden with anything.  The ending if done would only apply to the case where the Warden killed Loghain, made Alistair solo king, and let Alistair sacrafice himself to the Archdemon.  Anora would then charge the Warden with the crimes.   In all other cases, the Warden is the hero of Ferelden and everyone including the king/queen agrees.  Even in the case where Alistair kills Logain, becomes solo king, and then sacrafices himself the normal ending applies.  I think it would have been interesting but I agree it would not be a very bright move by Anora.   But I do think it is odd that she acts like nothing happened after she watched the Warden kill  her father  infront of her, is arrested, and then freed from prison to become queen.
 
*Edit:  The post corronation fight would of course also apply to the case where the Human Noble Female kills Logain,   chooses to marry and rule beside Alistair, and then lets Alistair sacrafice himself to the Archdemon.  Actually this is the situation where queen Anora would be the most bitter towards the Warden.   I understand even in this case it would not be bright for Anora to do that but I think she should at least have a more cold tone in her honoring of the Warden.
