I would hope there is a child. (There will be more than one child in my fanfic; however, Alistair marries a nonwarden) Well... if they're are no children, who will be the next ruler? In my playthroughs Alistair generally does the ritual if it's done... but I seriously doubt you'll ever see the little one in Ferelden anytime soon.

I guess if your warden is queen and you and Alistair don't have children you could put one of Fergus' children forward as ruler (If Fergus remarries and all ))

That's why it will be a MIRACLE baby!

No miracle babies, please.

Babies doesn't exist in Dragon age, children just pop up now and then.

They spawn on the rooftops in Kirkwall, like the mabari hounds with the Dog Lords.

Fiona is not Alistair's mother.

David's never confirmed nor denied who Alistair's mom really is ;p

Exactly, so saying that it is Fiona is pure speculation.

And the statement "Fiona is not Alistair's mother" isn't?

Yes, I hope there is one. Between Alistair and f!Warden anyway. Especially if they are on the throne. As regular grey wardens though, not so much but it wouldn't be bad if they did have a child.

Out of curiousity why would you hope there is one? All I can think of is how annoying babies are in the Sims, and how I wish the sims games had abortion clinics. Maybe if you never actually had to take care of the baby I wouldn't be opposed to the idea.

[sleepingbelow]

I wouldn't be surprised if nobody you (EDIT: The Warden) put on the throne has a kid. If we revisit Ferelden, it seems like the easiest conflict to write would be contention over the throne after a short golden age. Anora by herself never remarries, and any variation with a Grey Warden in it factors in fertility problems. This opens up possibly bringing in Fiona's son (if that turns out to not be Alistair) to take over the throne, or Morrigan's child (if Alistair slept with her), or the protagonist of a future game to take over the kingdom.

I like to think that two tainted people should reproduce a darkspawn.

Here's a quote from David Gaider:

A Grey Warden can have a child... just not with another Grey Warden. So in the case of Alistair being married to a female PC the only possible result is no heir (unless Alistair has a child with someone other than his wife, I suppose). Grey Wardens have a limited chance of conception with a non-Grey Warden, but it does happen... and the child is not tainted in any fashion.

I don't know if his position has changed since then. More comments from him in the thread where he posted that.

Personally, I think it's kind of sad to include such a reverence for lineage and such an interesting/important bloodline as the Theirin one and then make it die out. But I guess that's just what happens sometimes.

Well it's not the Sims so why not? Do you just dislike kids in general?

I'm actually well aware of that, thanks.<_< I thought that the topic was about, given the chance, would you (the player) want there to be a chance of a baby between Alistair and the f!warden, given the chance. And my answer its still yes. It's not so much about the lore as it is personal preferrance.

Anyway I don't really have a reverrance for the bloodline. I just hate Anora. Can't have her on the throne and the only other option is Alistair. With him on the throne of course my Cousland queen will be expected to produce an heir that apparently will never exsist. sigh.

Well, that's the thing, there's still a possibility there's another Theirin out there.  Depending on your playthrough, there's a possibility for two to be out there; there could be Fiona's child and his descendants, and Morrigan's child if she sired with Alistair.

Hahaha. Some people happen to like babies, you
know. It's not really all that rare. It probably has something to do
with the fact they are adorable. (I admit to being biased, as I have a
little one)

That being said, I doubt Bioware would do it. I remember
hearing somewhere in Dragon age that Anora had fertility issues too, so
maybe they are setting things up for politcal unrest in Fereldon with no heirs possible...... except god baby, of course

[LadyVaJedi]

I think that the most unlikely will happen. In other words BioWare will do what isn't expected.

True. And even aside from those, neither Maric or Cailan could keep it in their pants, so if the writers really wanted to they could always have another royal bastard pop up somewhere.

I like kids that are related to me as long as I don't have to spend more than say... 3 or 4 hours at a time with them. I am a terrific uncle, though. The idea of taking care of kids in a game doesn't appeal to me so much.

[Jorrkit]

Wouldn't the baby be born with the taint? I thought that was why Morrigan had to have me for the ritual, because Riordan would've passed on too much of the taint. If so, a tainted baby would be pretty much the exact opposite of a miracle.

Weren't this because Riordan had been gray warden for too long at that point and just couln't conceive the child with so much taint in him?

[Gamer Ftw]

Maybe but if it takes after it's father it will be to stupid to find it's way out of a corner so it won't be king.

[Sinmara]

I have read that this is difficult but not impossible that two gray wardens have children together. It is unlikely, and is therefore rejected by Alistair for the throne. Moreover, given the background of the novel, and Alistair is already the child of a female Gray Warden (which he does not know). This could bring further trouble.
However, I think may alter the action at any time to bring magic into the game, it is implied that even the Grey Wardens do not know anything about the blight.
