     If you read Dragon Age: Calling you know that Alistairs's mother is not a servant a Redcliffe Castle who died years ago, but the elven Grey Warden mage, Fiona. However, Alistair does not know this. Duncan knowing Fiona is probably the reason alistair became a Grey Warden in the first place.  Ever since I read that book i've been wondering when Alistair would catch on, and Dragon Age 3 is the near perfect setting for this. How, if at all, do you think this will be addressed?

If I remember (and it's totally possible I don't), you could either take Fiona for being Alistair's mother or it's possible Maric has yet another illegitimate child. I don’t think it’s been confirmed either way.

In Asunder Fiona is the leader of the mage rebels. If Ferelden supports the mages/chantry there could be the chance of a meeting.

No.. you don't KNOW it.. it's never confirmed only slightly implied because her child is a boy.
Personally as much as I like the idea of his mom being an elven mage grey warden, I don't believe it.

Then why doesn't he look half-elven?

He does. Can't you tell? He looks exactly like a human(fyi that's what half-elves look like).

The kid in DA2 looked more like a hybrid.

[Battlebloodmage]

Half-elven has a distinctive look in DA2, so I don't think Alistair is part elf. It would be pretty funny if it's true then they have to retcon his face in DA3. I can just hear the anguish scream of fangirls when he get turned into Avatar. lol

When an elf and human have babies the children look like humans (well they come out as humans, ha). And as it's been addressed, it isn't confirmed about Fiona being his mother. Though I think that the child was him. I mean, it explains why Duncan pushed the issue of recruiting him.

His features were coincidence. I'm fairly sure the human features thing is established in the Calling as well.

[Squeeze the Fish]

I wonder if the "distinct" half elven look was on purpose or mere coincidence. I thought the codex said human/elf babies look like humans.

So, the idea of a human/elven hybrid looking like a mix of both is being retconned?

*Fondly remembers the banter when Alistair told Morrigan that she had her mothers nose prompting Morrigan to profess her undying hatred for the everyones favorite bastard prince.*

[Battlebloodmage]

I don't know if David Gaider can confirm the feature of the half elf baby. In DA2, I remember the half-elf character said he doesn't fit in anywhere because of the way he looks. This information doesn't seem to relate to the third game, so maybe he could shred some lights into it. Oh please, old mighty David Gaider, I pray thee.

[cogsandcurls]

Fiona seems to be leading the mage rebellion at the moment, so I'm really hoping that the PC, at least, will get to meet her. As for Alistair knowing...I sort of like the idea that Alistair never finds out, in a bittersweet way; I even really like the idea that one day the two might cross paths and while she knows who he is, he leaves the encounter none the wiser.

Plus he's already got parental abandonment issues on one side, no need to give him another dose.

Edit: It's explicitly stated in The Calling (which was published before DA2) that Fiona and Maric's baby looks a hundred percent human. I don't know what was going on with Feynriel, I feel like that might have just been something that was overlooked rather than a bit of lore that was changed on purpose.

All I know is that is what the codex has said..but if Alistair isn't Fiona's kid, perhaps we could meet the unknown child?

Well the idea of them looking human predates the halfish looking appearance of the NPC in DA2. So if it stayed, half-elves are human, the lore would be constant. If it switched to half-elves looking partly elfy then it would be a retcon

[Wulfram]

I dislike the idea, because it's not hinted at at all in the game, and makes the whole "Alistair talks to his annoying sister" quest rather pointless.

And I don't see why Alistair has to have a cool mum.

Let's hope not.

If Fiona was Alistair's mother, they wouldn't have had to say anything about Goldanna or to her. Why would they say "by the way, your mother had a child with the king" to a servant's daughter?

[ShadowLordXII]

I think Fiona being Alistair's mother is plausible.

As for the whole Goldanna thing, if Fiona is Alistair's mother than maybe there was a servant woman who died in childbirth along with her child and Eamon used that situation as a cover story for Alistair. Sadly, Goldanna was screwed over as a side-effect and she'd spend the rest of her life bitter and angry because of Alistair's "birth".

Hence we have Alistair's hardening.

[Shades_Of_Pale]

Oh yeah, doesn't Goldanna express how Alistair killed their mother or something? Err...its hard to recall...forgive me if I am not correct../:
