Okay, this has to be some of the wackiest dialogue I have ran into. Must be a glitch.

I'm playing female human noble warrior. I just finished the Orzommar quest (last one then off the to talk to Arl Eamon about Landsmeet). I'm in a intimate relationship with Alistair. I turned down Zevran, but I accidentally left the dialogue option open that says, "Do you always look at people like that?" Which left me open to renew a relationship with Zev. Zev's next response would have been what about Alistair, so I left it alone and haven't talked to Zev since then.

So here's the weird part. I'm talking to Sten (gave him his sword) and Lelianna comes up and asks me about Zevran. I tell her that he's a nice guy and that she could join us (she doesn't seem to realize that I am sleeping with Alistair). This is so strange...I picked that response so maybe she would just hook up with Zev. Lelianna wasn't interested. So her next response is, "looks like you want to talk"..(sten is still standing right next to us. Usually they are in their own spots), I ask her about her bard lover (can't remember her name) anyway as the dialogue progresses she tells me she loves me...and that she'll talk to me later. Her meter was on warm and at least 30 points away from 100 originally same with Sten. So then I decide to check there meters Sten is 100 percent friendly; Morrigan is 100 percent friendly; Zevran is 68 percent interested; Wyne is about 65 percent warm; Alistair is 100 pecent in love and so now is Lelianna 100 percent in love with pc. So I left them and went to talk to Alistair.


This is the most interesting and strangest dialogue yet...from Alistair.
As soon as I click on Alistair, he starts spouting off...."So this might seem a little strange, but I havce to ask you something...It's personal. I'm wondering about Zevran. It seems that you two have become quite friendly."

I tell him there's nothing going on and he replies that he's the luckiest man...blah, blah, blah...then...

In the same breath Alistair asks... "What about Lelianna then? I mean....sure...hot...But I don't like the ideal of you leading her on.

I reply, "It's not the same as you and me."
Alistair replies, "You either choose me or her."
I reply, "I choose you."

And no negative points for any of the parties.

Have you ever heard of anything like this happening?


I've had it trigger at odd times, while sort of not flat-out rejecting Zevran or Leliana but not necessarily going for a relationship  (what can I say, I didn't want to hurt anyone's feelings...and I kind of flirted with them both on one playthrough *cough*). The one thing I found weird was that after Alistair brought Zev up and forced the choice, Alistair goes for the kiss and asks if it was too soon (which he kind of does early on in the romance). Sounds like both potential romances are supposed to be a legitimate rivalry, but by the time you actually get Zevran, you've probably zipped way past the first kiss with Alistair. *chuckle*

I'm going to have to try one of these ...


Im glad that Im able to help all of You who don't like Dark Ritual idea. For me, it's just a try from Developers to add more drama into story, but in my opinion without succes. This scene even don't look like any Ritual for me, just simple sex that's all.  And to be honest I don't like it, becouse it's don't make game more dark or dramatic, just can make someone, who romanced with Alistair more angry . ( Of course it's only my opinion Posted Image ).
P.S  You can also try Free Love mod ( it will make able to have romance with Morrigan for female players) with Polygamey mod ( no jealousy from others LIs), but I don't know, how it will work with Dark Ritual things...

To Paleobones..I know yours pain :) That's why I bought DA:O PC version...( especially Im glad, that I could change Zevran appearance thanks to toolset, becouse, what's big surprise for me, I found myself as a fan of this elf-while before game relase date I was the first person who wanted to kill him...and I done that in my first playtrought Posted Image. Now he is the best romance option for my elven females)

I am doing another playthrough. First one he did the ritual, this time I am thinking I will make the final blow. I am going to have give Wynne more hold powers, since I am going to lose that when Morrigan leaves.

When you leave Alistair at the game, does he try to not get left behind?

Just got done getting the key from getting the key from Howe....DAO guide says to go thru Howe's room to avoid fighting guards if you used the disguise....Did this.

So I happen to accidentally pick Wynne and she starts a dialogue with me....

Wynn: You're quite taken with each other...
PC: Yes, quite
Wynne: Alistair is a fine lad......don't want to see him hurt.
PC: Are you saying I might hurt Alistair?
Wynne: No intentionally......
PC: Alistair doesn't want to be King
Wynne: ......but he's still a Grey Warden.....Can't afford to be selfish...
PC: Alistair & I can handle this
-or-
PC: You know about Alistair and me
W: Hard not to notice the doe eyed looks he gives you.....
PC: You're not the average old lady
W: Won't be makinging any socks
W: Noticing blossoming relationship....
PC: we're taking it one day at a time
W: Both are Grey Wardens....responsibilities supercede personnel desires
PC: I can handle responsibilities
W: Love is extremely selfish
PC: What do you know about love...
W: Know a great deal.....

and there are several other choices you can make....

A side note: Before I went to talke to Alistair sister...when I first got into Denerim....Wynne and Alistair were traveling companions...

Wynne struck up a cute monologue with Alistair about him looking at my pc's back end...it was pretty cute.


THIS was what gave me an inclination of what would happen.  As soon as I had this convo with Wynne I researched and saw pretty much what I'd have to do the rest of the game to get a semi-favorable outcome with romancing Ali and trying to keep everything as happy as possible.  I'm still really disappointed, but I still haven't finished, I've been taking my time trying to figure out what will give me the best of what I want :)

This game is so awesome that it sucks all the fangirls (and boys) in like this! My forceful human noble female, practically strongarms Alistair into taking the throne. She wasn't very fond of him at first, but eventually fell in love w/ him, and left Zevran to be Alistair's Queen :)



My first city elf was not so lucky ;( She was hopelessly in love with a human and, though I'm not done with this playthrough yet, will encourage Alistair to take the throne, and take the deathblow :(



I did get the Leliana dialogue at Eamon's estate in Denerim before the Landsmeet. It was so odd, and she was so heartbroken. I did't realize flirting with her was not harmless.



I think by far the most satisfying ending comes from playing a human noble, but since my favorite origin is a city elf, I'm going to explore some of the options there. I hear you can live on as a Chancellor/Mistress to Alistair, and still have evil Anora locked up in the tower. Ah, if only we could execute her :x

To leave Alistair behind You, and not take him to Fort Dragon is the only way to keep him alive, if You have romance with him..if You are in friendship, he still will say, that he want to sacrifice himself, but it's yours choice in dialog option who will die, him or yours PC ( you can't do that if he is with You on the roof and You have romance with him). And no, he will stay away from final battle if You will say that ( but I have to admit that the last kiss cutscene , when Alistair sacrificed himself was more  touching for me, than his talk after my PC death)

To Shavon..if You like romancing with Ali, while You play other than Human Noble origin, You can become his Queen thanks to advices included in " I Shall Be A Queen " mod

Oh, hi Ines. :)

Glad you're enjoying the game even though Daveth can't be with you. I totally understand your ire about that by the way, I would've loved to keep him too.

So, you like Zevran now? Wow, what a turn-around. I remember you being all for killing him in the worst possible way before the game came out. If I remember correctly, you deviced all kinds of scenarios to kill the poor elf in the worst possible way. :lol:

As for the mod, I wish I could use it, but alas, the toolset is needed and my poor little lap-top can't take it. Oh well, my girls go for Zevran anyways, so it's not such a big deal.

I also agree with you about the ritual. Looks like sex to me too, nothing more, and definitely nothing that says "blood magic ritual". The best thing about it is Loghain's reaction if the PC can convince him to do the ritual. Maybe they should've done something similar for Alistair, that way it might have been easier for the Alistair fans to swallow.



Spoilers




Loghain: "How odd and distasteful. I hope you don't mind if I close my eyes and pretend you're my dear departed wife."
Morrigan: "You'd rather imagine having sex with a corpse?"
Loghain: "Indeed"
Morrigan: (turns to PC) "Oh well, this will just take but a few minutes."

Hey Sabriana..
Yes, in one of my playtrought ( when I played as a Dalish Elf) I started romance with Zevran..and It was a big surprise that I enjoyed by this romance more than with Alistair ( don't know,maybe becouse it's more "mature" for me than with Ali?). After that I wanted to recreate Zevran's appearance, and now he had hairs and tatoo similair to Tamlen's and I worked a little with his face. ( when I will have more time, I will upload screenshoot with him to my profile page, so I will show You what I done with him, if You want to see)
About Daveth..well I CAN have him in my team, thanks to nice console command zz_e3addparty ( it will add Jory and Daveth to yours team). He can't level up ( but Im using console commands to give him skills) and he havn't new dialog ( the worst..there's no romance with himPosted Image) but still I have my hundsome rogue with mePosted Image
About Morrigan/Loghain  Dark Ritual dialog I saw it and it was very funny indeed. To be honest, after I found the way how to avoid DR and still have happy ending I never accept Morrigan's offer. I just don't think it fit well with story and really I don't feel that's something needed there.

I agree. I think it was done to throw the Alistair romancers into a dilemma, so they can heroically sacrifice themselves instead of giving in to Morrigan. Since I don't romance Alistair, I just flat out refuse, sometimes I take Loghain, sometimes Alistair is 'it'.
My girls think that they've done enough for the GWs and Ferelden, and they also think it's the best thing for Alistair, to go out in a blaze of glory and rejoin his admired Duncan father-figure. My only regret is that they can't force Anora to give more honors to the fallen hero.
I don't ever miss Morrigan at the end-battle, Wynne does just fine. Besides that, one of my girls is a mage herself, the other a rogue with archery mastery. Good enough for range attacks in both cases.
I'll have to search for your solution, I bet it has something to do with the console :lol:

Hmm, I wonder if Alistair's character appearance can be replaced by Daveth's in the toolset. I really hate that I can't download that, but my laptop would go into open rebellion.

If You think about a way how to avoid Dark Ritual my advices are on 12 or 11 page ( and in this topic somewhere around) so feel free to use it ( and have fun).
Yes You can change any NPC appearance ( have to admit that Alistair with Cailan/ Daveth's face looks  sexy in tent cutscenes Posted Image)

How to do that:

Open toolset, go to directory where You have game instaled ( usually it's c:\\ProgramFiles\\DragonAge) go to packages -> core-> data and find face.erf file.  Open this file in toolset. There are all NPCs faces ( hm means human males, em means elven males etc).  Copy all of them to directory ( i.e create npcheads or something)   Now find  hm_pre100_daveth_mor file, copy it to  C:\\ My Documents\\BioWare\\DragonAge\\packages\\core\\override and change file name from hm_pre100_daveth.mor to hm_genfl_alistair.mor..Enjoy yours new Alistair's appearance

Thanks Ines, I found it a few pages back. I'll try that, most definitely.

Oh, and don't feel bad about people jumping on you for that. Last time I looked this was a single player game, and no one is forced to use anything, be it a console command or a mod. Unless you went to their houses and put a gun to their head that is, lol.

As far as I'm concerned, everybody has the right to do with their game what they want, even if I suddenly decided to turn everyone into pink and purple bunnies. So don't let it get you down.



Cailan?!? Rofl - I should have guessed.

Ach what I can say...I like himPosted Image and one of my Noble females was his lover in the past. I imagine that Cailan was forced to marry Anora instead of my PC, but  they still are in  love  and sometimes they have nice meetings in Cousland's Castle ( and also that was a reason why my PC havn't husband still. And it was a reason why Howe murdered her familly with Loghain's support). They spend a few hours together in Cailan's tent ( before Joining Ritual) and at the end of game she was pregnat ( so Alistair don't have to worry about heir Posted Image)

And I really want to show him, but unfortunetly Im still waiting for uploading screenshoots to my profile page ( now it's 2 hours..anyway how long I have to wait?).
He isn't  Tamlen's twin but I like how my new Zevran looks...but if You want to have his appearance exactly this same as Tamlen, You can use tip I posted above ( of course if You have PC version of game and toolset)

I agree with the more angry part def... I was upset that after playing for so long n really enjoying my female pc n Alistair that when in the end I didn't want to lose the relationship they had to develope so I ended up doin the damn ritual... I wanted to yell at the screen n slap the **** outta Morrigan... Glad for the Esc button though, I couldn't get myself to watch the damn sex scene between Morrigan n Alistair lol...
I wish we would of been able to have an extra dialogue option though when askin Alistair to do the ritual, something like;   "I would never ask you to do something like this, I can't stand the fact that you'll be with another woman n I know it's selfish for me to even ask but I love you Alistair n knowing the fact that if we don't do the ritual 1 of us will be dying... So if I'm being selfish about not wanting to lose you or what we got then so be it but know I'd never ask this of you if there was another way out of one of us losing the other."   Or something to that effect lol...
This reminds me of a video someone did for the DAO on youtube
The song is perfect.




By the way I am female lol.... When I first signed up for an account I was playing a male n I never thought I would play a female pc... I never really have before with any of my other games but I was reading what all the ladies were saying about another side to Alistair so I decided to try n now I'm hooked lmao

Well as I said before, for me Dark Ritual it's just silly try to add drama into game, especially into romances, but Devs, in my opinion failed here. It even don't looks like ritual, just another sex scene, so that's why it's hard to accept it. Plus I don't buy explanation, why it have to be Alistair instead of Riordan ( it's very very rare thing to be pregnat after one night in rl, so I think that Morrigan had to do something to be sure she will be pregnat, so I doubt that how long someone is GW is so important here). Plus would be nice to have option ( especially if PC is a mage) to kill Morrigan, stole Flemeth's book and made ritual myself. All above it's a reason why I was looking for a way to avoid DR.

Just watched the youtube video of "Ill do anything for love"-see above post. It was....wow....sent chills up my spine. It is the perfect song. (and it doesn't hurt that I am a Meatloaf fan anyway).

You're right about Alistair and Kaidan being to complete different characters.  What I meant was that when you harden Kaidan, he is much more outspoken about how he feels about Shepherd. 

After he is hardened, I forgot what the subject was about, but he ended with I want to follow thru with this.  You're a hard woman to resist and so on.  Unhardened...it was much more duty and honor.

As for the hair...they both could do with better hairstyles.

Now their voices....I love Kaidan's serious tone and demeanor.

However, I also love Alistair's accent and teasing.  Just hate his lack of decision and whining.  What I would like to see is Alistair a little bit older and more mature.  Then our knees would go weak, I think?"  You cant tell me you didn't a little breathless when Alistair says, "Maker's breath, your beautiful?"

Only weeks away from ME2 and I kinda want to skip it for ME3.  We'll be playing ME2 just hoping for some Kaidan crumbs (any little bit of information we can get).


Someone said that Kaidan's hairstyle was actually some official military hairsyle...I think his character would be more limited in what he could wear but Alistair could have had a range of options...maybe someone will make a mod of him with a different hairstyle if they haven't already.

Alistair's humor(teasing) was probably the best thing about his character. I wish Kaidan had been given a little more of that in Shep's converstaion with him. You see he has it at the beginning of the game with Joker and a few times in passing conversations with some of the other characters(like with Ash in Chora's den) but it's very subdued. As for Alistair, for me after several run throughs when you've heard most of his jokes the whining began to over shadow the humor. His worst quality seemed to cancel out his best.

As for the voices I prefer Kaidan's. I do like Alistair's accent but Sbarge's voice is so unique it wouldn't leave my head for hours after I was through playing.

Some people have even refused to buy ME2 new as a protest over not having the ME love interests recruitable...my copy is already pre-ordered and pre-paid so I'm going to follow through with it. I've kinda got past the fact the love interests won't be a major part of the game...I can live with that. If I have to wait for ME3 for the romance part to pick back up I can read fanfiction till then. Some of it is better than even the first game anyway.

it's not far off from the Zevran convo, though, except Wynne complains about the sex keeping her up all night.

Well, my Dalish Rogue is off to Landsmeet. Let's hope she played her cards well and will get to keep her man once he gets a whiff of royal power.
