Seriously WTF!!!
how the **** did Anora become the queen?
I had executed everything so meticulously. The plan wazs precise and perfect. How the **** am i not the queen?

I had Anora support me in the landsmeet only to betray her after Loghain was taken care of, choosing to put my spineless puppet Alistair on the throne with me as the queen.
So Alistair was king with me as the queen. Anora was safely in prison.

In the final fight I made sure that no help was given to Eamon during the fight so that he perishes. I goaded Alistair into sacrificing himself. Now there was only one claim left to the throne. Me. Absolute power.
I should have returned to the Palace as the grieving widow, the Hero, the savior of the land. The Queen of Ferelden. how the **** did Anora become the queen. she was in the goddamned prison!! The plan was fullproof.  Did i hit a bug or miss a dialog option?

This is seriously the worst game ending I have ever played. EVER ****ing EVER!!
A Knight Commander??!! Screw you Anora. screw you Bioware.

After so long I played a game where I could build up towards the end and you torpedo over the very story of the game. bah! Absolute wastage of my 200+ hours (with 2 characters) that I put in this stupid game.
I can't believe that I had gotten so emotionally invested in this game and the ending just ruins the entire experience.

Alistair was never crowned king. That was going to happen after the battle. (And does happen in the epilogue, if he survives.) And you didn't marry him yet. Being engaged to a guy who might have been king does not put you in line for the throne.

You weren't queen.  You weren't married yet.  When did the ceremony occur?  You were going to be queen.  But that was contingent upon the Alistair surviving to marry you.  You can't off the groom before the wedding and still expect to get married.

Being engaged doesn't make you Queen.  Especially considering that even that isn't formalized until after the Archdemon fight.

This.

I'm sure Anora appreciates the OP's enthusiasm in killing Alistair before the wedding, however (and before Alistair could even actually assume the throne).

I had the same plan and found it to be just as aggrivating when it didn't work. It wouldn't have been so annoying if Anora hadn't been given plot immunity during the Landsmeet segment.

(Seriously, when she becomes queen alone, she calls for Alistair's execution immediately. But even hardened Alistair will only imprison her and your player character has no dialogue options that allow you to argue it. It's a serious case of your character being given the idiot ball.)

If you're impression that your character would be able to claim the throne -- a Grey Warden who was briefly engaged to another Grey Warden who never became King -- simply because Anora is dead, then you aren't paying attention. The only reason Alistair is even considered is because he's a Theirin.

Certainly, killing Anora and Alistair leaves it open for you making a claim, but at that point you're playing an entirely different game and one that probably involves more civil war (as I'm not sure even Arl Eamon would be so grateful so as to overlook the fact that you're attempting to wrest control of a throne that doesn't even belong to you).

But maybe you were playing a different game. Sometimes I get that impression from people, here. Posted Image

Bah, you should not need Alistair to get the throne. Why can't we take it by force? Go to landsmeet, kill every noble and take the crown.

Then you'd have a hat on your head and a lot of dead people around you. Congratulations.

I think some people are under impression they're viable option because their character is (as far as they're aware at that point) the only alive member of another teyrn family. I.e. "second only to the king" in power. And well, that could be considered pretty decent claim as far as the game politics seem to imply? Posted Image

You're the heir to a family that no longer exists. Consider that being "second only to the king in power" that refers to a power that you no longer possess -- not until it's restored to you. Until that point, the fact that you're of noble birth gives you legitimacy when it comes to being an appropriate candidate for marriage. While you could also technically make a claim for the throne, remember that you're a Grey Warden (someone who would normally be invalidated by that fact alone) and without an army (some people seem to think that they have the disposal of the armies they gathered during the game to do with as they wish, even though they agreed to help with the Blight and nothing more).

After the Archdemon's death you'd be a hero, certainly, but if anyone assumes that this automatically translates into a line of soldiers carrying the player on their shoulders to the throne that's probably more a product of wishful thinking than what was actually represented in the game.

I'm not sure where you all got the idea that Anora was princess-consort or anything of the sort. She was married to the King and is clearly mentioned as being Queen Anora several times throughout the game.

I'll point out that as of the Landsmeet Anora does nat have a claim to the throne -- she is on the throne. She is the ruling monarch of Ferelden, and whether she stays there or whether Alistair successfully challenges her right to it is the question.

Yes, she gets put into a tower at the end of the Landsmeet if Alistair is becoming the sole king (or marrying the player). She is not being arrested for treason or any such nonsense -- Loghain is the traitor, not Anora. She might have betrayed you in the course of the Landsmeet, but she certainly didn't partake in any treachery against the country (that anyone, including you, is aware of anyhow).

So Alistair, the expected King-to-be, dies in the battle at Denerim. What then? They keep Anora in prison, she who was removed from the throne to begin with by Alistair's superior claim, or... what? Put a Grey Warden on the throne, one who isn't the last Theirin and whose main claim restson the fact she was about to marry the King-to-be? What do you think the nobility of Ferelden is going to do, exactly?

I get that some of you really wanted to be the ruler of Ferelden. I'm sorry that the story didn't go the way that you wanted, but denying the facts presented in the game because they don't fit your desired outcome is a bit lame. This is what happened. Chill out.
