Okay, I know the title was a bit overly dramatic, but I didn't want to put what could be a spoiler in it by saying, "Huh? Alistair committed suicide, when I was supposed to be the sacrificial hero of Fereldan!"

Seriously, that ending really stunned me.  The first time, I was a human noble so I choked on Morrigan's vulgar proposal so that my beloved wouldn't die... and yes, I wanted to be queen.  My second game, however, I made Alistair king to rule alone, told Morrigan to sod off, then went to say my goodbyes to my true love, Al.  He stunned me by basically dumping me because, well, it was his duty to provide an heir and there was no possibility of producing an untainted child with two untainted parents.  Okay, it hurt my feelings... but heck, I was going to a glorious death anyway.  Or so I thought.

Fought for hours through the drudgery that are the "final battles", finally came to the big moment, the archdemon was down and... and... here comes Alistair in a cutscene saying that he loved me so much that he couldn't let me die. I mean, what?  He'd just dumped me, for crying out loud! 
 I tried every line of dialogue available, reminded him he was king, he had a duty to produce an heir, even called him a coward.  No joy.  No matter what I said, the fool ran over and killed the damned thing, leaving my  PC with her mouth hanging open and that back-stabbing b*tch Anora on the throne, giving me a smug grin.
Arggghhhh.  I never want this ending again.  Can anyone tell me what I did to accidentally trigger it?  I really wanted to watch my companions shed a tear at my funeral, while I felt all... heroic.  Now I just feel like I murdered my true love because I didn't let him sleep with a swamp witch. 

I need answers, people!  Help me out here! Image IPB

Leave him with the other companions or he'll kill himself.

You leave him at the gates.
And there are worse things to do to avoid death than through sex.

-edit- *shakes fist* ninja'd ><

If Alistair loves you, he's going to sacrifice himself for you no matter what if you bring him with you to the Archdemon.

If you're in a romance with Alistair he will kill himself no matter what.  The only way to prevent this, is to not BRING him.  You'll have to leave him at the city gates, despite what Riordan says.

Agreed!  Even if it is with Morrigan.

I like to tell myself that when Morrigan blew out that candle she pulled out a cup and a turkey baster. And the Old God baby is going to bring good dental care and new hairstyles to Thedas, since it *is* the Old God of Beauty.



...does that help?

Possibly the best answer to any questions in the game.
Whatever Riordan tells you, it's best to ignore him. He's a crazy effe, he is.

That has to be modded!

Alistair : "Damn, I love you and I'm going to sacrifice myself!"

PC : "BUT I'M A MALE!!!"

... Ups, wrong lines!

I'd imagine that Wynne would tell him so.

OMG. I had no idea that by bringing him I was signing his death warrant. Damn. Well, question answered. Next time I'll handcuff him to Sten, kiss him goodbye, and go die. Thanks for the answers.

All I'm saying... when death comes, he better hope he remembered to wear a cup.

Or the PC can be  his not so secret lover.  I mean, there are plenty of choices that can lead to a happy ending.  Alistair doesn't have to be made King.  He doesn't want it and is perfectly relieved if you support Anora, let her rule alone and at the end, continue to be a Grey Warden  yourself.  And if one insists that he must be king, one can always be queen or his chancellor and lover.   :)

Because being the 'other woman' is so totally a happy ending!
