Thanks, Sarah! I had seen video of the sacrifices but not what came after. So that is a completely new scene? It's a great addition then.
What a shame that nobody but Wynne will talk about Loghain and Alistair if they do the sacrifice!

And Wynne's take on the matter is so horrible that I'd rather she didn't say anything. When she says her 'who could ask for more' and you say Alistair she says something about how he's a poor boy but people would rather gawk at a something living and by that she means you. If you say Loghain she's all snippy and 'well, he can't have expected anything more.' It's like: I get you don't like him but he just died to save everyone! Show some freaking respect! Even Alistair is more respectful of Loghain's sacrifice.

That is horrible.  And nobody else will say anything.  I didn't know that!  I thought they would be heroes.  I'm never going to be able to let them do it now!   What about all the companions who have been with Alistair for months?  They should say something.

*pokes soignee* Do Not Apologize for "walls of text". I love reading DDW, and seeing how a truly good writer does chapters like this helps me learn how to write chapters instead of 500 page long short stories.

And it's even worse when you consider that with Loghain Anora comments, Alistair comments, Anora builds a statue overlooking the Orlesian Embassy that freaks them out and has tons of visitors...More people care if Loghain dies doing it than Alistair.

If I upset anyone by posting the links, I apologize. I just thought they were so well done they should be shared, and that you would definitely want to see them if tmp added the other LIs.



*shrugs*



Sorry.

I'm glad you posted them.  They were definitely worth seeing, and I will be following tmp's project.  Thank you!

I can understand people in general caring more about Loghain, people who didn't know them both, and obviously Anora would care more.    But for Alistair not to be remembered by the people he fought alongside is very bad.   The ungrateful lot.  What a crappy ending for him.   Poor Alistair.  I can hardly blame him for pissing off and becoming a wandering drunk now.  Maybe he senses something I didn't.

Well, I'm glad you posted them! They are beautiful scenes and tmp's work adds a lot of emotional depth to the game. I'm already using tmp's mod & keeping fingers crossed that Zevran will be the next one to be added. I can see it being very, VERY popular once tmp has added all LI's.

So, from me anyway, thanks for sharing.

off to play the game as Veylya. she is going to try to take things slow with Zev...we'll see how long that lasts. She's grown up watching her sister be a NH and her drunk abusive mother complain about her father and it's warped her mind about intimacy. She thought Alistair was cute as well, but very dumb, but as soon as he told her about being a hidden noble she *really* knew that he was only going to be a friend (he does make her laugh though) she was not going to become a noble hunter and disappoint her sister who has dreams of Veylya somehow becoming a paragon someday.

She's very much into Zev. but is afraid of jumping in too fast. she see's that they have a lot in common. off to go adventuring ....

That's understandable. Loghain was the Hero of River Dane, he was known by everyone. By comparison Alistair was a nobody. Apart from a very few, nobody knew Alistair was Maric's son until the Landsmeet. A few people knew him as a boy, some templars knew him but didn't think much of him, and his companions knew him for periods of a few months to a year. Morrigan and the PC were with him the longest of the companions. Morrigan hated him so she wouldn't have a nice thing to say. However, some of the others should have had something to say. Sten could have commented on how Alistair had finally shown some backbone, Leiliana would have sung her song, Zev would have thought it a waste, and the Warden had lost either a good friend or love and even with survivor's guilt would have wanted to say a few words of farewell. 

This would probably be worth making a mod for actually.

Well, then, I'm glad you enjoyed them!



I know this is the Zevran thread, and the scenes involve Alistair and wasn't sure if it was appropriate to post them here. But I figured (read: hoped) that Zevran lovers romance Alistair at least once, or are BFFs with him, and would like to see tmp's gorgeous work.

What you say is not ...

That last sacrifice of the character, can only be done, but you are in romance with Alistair. So I do not think Alistair is the most hurt in that scene.



If a very "romantic scene", but ruled out the truth.

But Alistair is always "super good" history. One thing that I am not at all agree.

They're lovely scenes, and yes I'd love to see ejoslin's suggestion for a Zevran variant.

(By all technicalities, I've completed Alistair's romance in a game more times than Zevran's: 1 vs 0...)

First time through I romanced both characters and ended up breaking it off with Zev for Ali until Ali flung himself on the AD, at which point Zevran had already been glitched back into love, so at the end we went off traveling together and lived happily ever after and it was really nice. Once I realized at the end that I'd missed out on some awesome lovage from Zevran I found this wonderful thread and the rest is history. Second playthrough I romanced no one, and such is the extent of my DA playage. That would also be why I have nothing insightful to add to this thread. :?

I played the Dragon Age, about 20 times.

3 With Alistair, the first three.

17 with Zevran.

Why?

A character started with Leliana ... ends up with Zevran.

Morrigan began with two characters ... Zevran ended

With so many wins without a doubt Zevran.



And if I know all the endings. But my favorite hero remains Zevran.

I am not having much success in creating a great kilt for armor. The toolset even has a cloak field which isn't used, but modding armor with completely new textures and models is proving harder than I thought. Anyway, to keep me inspired I created these.... enjoy!

This one you've seen before...
