lol indeed.



Cailan was unfaithful and Anora isn't exactly the most loving girl out there. She probably cut the guy off after finding out and never touched him since.



Put me in Loghain's shoes and my son in law was cheating on my daughter with abandon... rofl I might leave him to die on the battlefield too.

"Cailan had his women. He was thoughtful enough to keep them discreet, but I always knew. Am I to have yet another husband whose eyes lie elsewhere? If so, I would appreciate knowing now."

I missed this, I just got the dialogue about how much Alistair looked like Cailan. I guess that's the case? I don't know- I'm still waiting for my side-by-side screenshots.

Maric and Cailan certainly got around didn't they?

Personally, I think the King was being told off for coveting Duncan's beard too blatantly. True commanders are clean-shaven. Beardie guys are only good at hallucinating magical dragons and picking up Orlesian STDs.

I concur.

Here's hoping this works:


The noses, eyes, brows are nearly identical and the jaws and lips are darn close. Alistair's got some more color to him, but I can see how Anora would be disturbed marrying him - they could've been twins.

ETA: Yaaay! I didn't kill the code!

LOL - I can totally hear that one line from Sommersby with that picture ...



"But how do you know I'm not Cailan?"

"I know because..."

"How do you know?"

"...I just know..."

"How do you know?!"

" Because I never loved him the way that I love you!"

My husband tried to match them up, but got a dialogue comment from Alistair to the effect of: "I passed her in the hall and she said something about marrying me not being so bad since look like Cailan. Please don't make me marry her. ~shudder~" Hubby took pity on Alistair and Anora's rotting in a tower somewhere.

"Teyrn Loghain sees the king whenever he can and argues with him over coming battles, but the king just waves him off. The king thought it was funny the teyrn called him reckless. And they fought about the queen. He wasn't happy about something she did or the king did... I'm not sure. I probably shouldn't discuss it."

Other less likely scenarios: the argument  was about Anora's childlessness. Was Cailan planning to do a Henry VIII? Or possibly it was about Cailan's women, who're discreet but not quite discreet enough.

So what do you think?

All normal couples fight. It's the most natural thing, and we may be reading too much into it. Of course Loghain being the father would be concerned and ask Cailan why he made her daughter cry, etc.

And kings and queens during the medieval ages tend to sleep around. Either power makes you cheat on people, or they never really loved each other due to arranged marriages.

"Cheating" has never been limited to just the nobility, trust me. It's just a part of human nature... What is unnatural is monogamy. Not even swans are monogamous. (Swans are often held up as representative of the monogamous "ideal", but science has shown that even they "cheat".)

Also, arranged marriages are one of the greatest evils of humankind, as far as I'm concerned.

That's not correct. Monogamy means that in general you have one partner at a time. Polyamory means that in general you have several partners at a time. The problem is that Western culture defines polyamorous and monogamous behavior in too extreme a manner; to be monogamous, we say, you must ALWAYS have only one partner at a time, no exceptions. That’s unrealistic.

To use a metaphor, my cat is a carnivore. All cats are carnivores. My cat sometimes eats grass, leaves, and other greenery. Does this mean that my cat is actually an omnivore? Of course not.

Monogamy to polygamy is a scale, and describes a species' behavior *in general*. *In general,* humans are monogamous because they habitually settle in with a single partner for an extended period. Even individuals who consider themselves polyamorous rarely show anything close to the level of partner hopping you see in cats or bonobos.

But Alistiar likes to do it face-to-face while Cailin likes to do it nuggy-style, so Anora will never be able to appreciate the difference.

Maybe in countries with one of the highest divorce rates. Though the problem isn't with marriage, it's that some people are incapable of marriage. Marriage works for some people.
