I don't care....for Anora to betray you like that..she deserves to be decked and then she betrayed me at the Landsmeet...maybe because I told her to suck it I wasn't gonna stand by her and let her be queen....>.>

[LightSabres]

Of course she betrays you in that situation - She JUST got through telling you that she fears her father is going to kill her - thus the reason she is sneaking out of the castle dressed as a guard.



Then you go and tell Ser Cauthrien (Loghains right hand) that everything the man she worships has been saying is a lie and asking Anora to confirm it! If I were in her shoes I'd do the same thing! She's trying to get out of the castle to get to get to Arl Eamon - not be put back into captivity by Loghains right hand.....

Alistair makes my heart flutter.

[Derengard]

He's perfect, but perfect as in "Don't need to listen to him because it will be something random or predictable". He's so bland, he's almost a blank.

[LSilvercloak]

Give me Morigan any day. She can be a real witch sometimes, but there's a soft sweet heart underneath all that crustiness.

I like the Alistair character in the game, but his Templar traits make him a bit too self-righteous for me. At least the parts of him that I've seen in game. He's mostly okay, but if I met him in real life, I think he'd be one of those people I could only handle in small doses. Nice, funny, friendly, but well ... too annoying.

I like how Alistair changes towards the ending. He becomes a lot more assertive - that speech he gave a the Gates of Denerim seemed so natural. He comes off as a really charismatic King when he faces responsibility instead of hiding from it.



The only thing I really disliked was the whole "hardening" thing. We've spent the campaign narrowly escaping with our lives at Ostagar, fighting hordes of Darkspawn and Abominations, dealing with political intrigue, and suddenly he becomes a more jaded, cynical guy who's more willing to take a stand because his sister is a bad person? Didn't like the way that was handled.



I think in future games, we'll see a more determined, maybe even ruthless Alistair in a direct sequel. Being a King means making hard choices. Be careful fangirls, Alistair may not be the same guy you fell for the next time you see him.



I'm glad that "hardening" option didn't exist with Morrigan and Zevran. While they might change, their arc is more subtle.

Also, I don't get all the Anora hate. Might be that I don't take this stuff as personally as some, but I respect her ability to play the game. So she lies about being kidnapped when you're confronted by Ser Cauthrien. What do you expect the woman to do? The whole point was to get her out of there covertly, and you just blew her cover. She's also willing to betray you so that her father won't be killed, which is pretty understandable. She's not my favourite person in the game, but I don't see why she gets so much hate either. Kind of reminds me of Bhelen.

In the end, I think everyone wants power. I don't think that's necessarily a bad thing, either.

The situation with the elves notwithstanding, she is the better ruler.

Very classy, is all I can say to that.

[Nuclear_Pony]

Wow, this thread is big !

Alistaire is a very likable, far from perfect. A good buddie to have around when a good swordswinging is needed (although I've been more in the headcrushing area lately). Good sense of humour (important in a world that's already grim and gloomy). The last thing I need is more sarcasm / cynisism. I do somehow like him less when playing a mage (probably because he is a templar). I think you will probably like him the most when playing a templar yourself. Good times crushing spellcasters.

Alistair.

What do I like about him?

He was written well enough to let the player enjoy playing the game*

Here's another idea: I play rogue (melee DPS and main assist).  With Alistair as my tank, I get to look him in the eyes for about 99% of every fight.  While the two character archetypes are not an obvious match for each other, team roles dictate that they'll be working very closely together right in the middle of the action.

Think about it ladies - carving up threats to the kingdom and always staying in your very hunky tank's field of vision.  It doesn't get much better than that, no?

LOL. That's cause Alistair is a Pus*y with a capital P! He works fine as a fairy tale prince in a fantasy setting, but I would wager that 99% of the fangirls here would not want to date a guy like that in real life. I mean do you really want a boyfriend who's awkward, nervous, whines and b*tches about everything, is incapable of making a single decision and unable to form a thought more complex than "what's for supper?"

I wouldn't say it's a matter of "wanting" a guy like Alistair.  Some of us "need" a guy like Alistair.


I already date a guy like this in real life.  My man is nervous, awkward, insecure, and finds it difficult to string a sentence together in a romantic setting.  However, he is also ideal for me as my more dominant personality overrides his flaws - if he can't speak, then I speak for him.  If he needs to move slowly, I plow ahead to make sure that the road is as painless for him as possible as he stays two steps behind me.  No doubt there are a lot of strong willed women out there who could do the same because they couldn't do it any differently, and if they used the same approach on a more assertive man it just wouldn't work beyond initial contact.

And that's where I am with most women I end up romantically attracted to.  When I am not attracted to the person or have them marked off as unavailable, lesbian, married etc.  Is when I tend to shine as I am much more assertive and decisive with my stuff.  Have nothing to lose.

Yet step onto that stage in the spotlight where every single word could derail the love train and suddenly I am like 12 again and all stuttery and nervous.  It REALLY sucks.

Allistair is a cool guy, but Moriggan has a certain charm that just really appeals to me, so far I have been having a romantic relationship with her on every playthrough.

[Bibdy]

Always thought Xan from Baldur's Gate 1 would make a funny romance option.



"We're all doomed!" "This is vaaaaain!"

[Leatree]

lol I ended up warming up to Alistar rather quickly and I must say aside from his personality his voice got me. Couldn't quite place where I had heard his voice before until today when i looked it up lol. Steve Valentine... lol always use to get a kick out of just about any show he was in.

None the less my husband, after seeing how Alistar was being on my game killed him off in his game . Then again he likes Morrigan and the Desire demons ... go figure.

[Bootsykk]

He's a pushover.

>_>; and besides, he seems to be a little TOO 'good to be true' and quite frankly, I've started to get a little sick of him as a romance options. So many deviantart posts of
 "AWWWW Alistair loves me and gave me his VIRGINITY 'cause I'm beautiful and have a ROSE and he's a king and I'm a queen and we live happily ever after LOLOL swooping is bad! Femcousland and Aly forever! ZEVRAN SUCKS WHAT A PERV oh and we're both grey wardens so we'll die together and have millions of babies and throw darts at loghains face 'cause he's just a BIGGO DOUCHEBAG!1"
Have really painted a negative image of him in my mind as a romance.

Personally, Alistair reminds me of a little brother or a puppy. He's my warden's bff, other than morrigan.

Lol, that was the guy with a flaming sword, right? I remember him ) He was screaming for so long that one day I just put him out as bait... His "Let us lie down and die" got a whole new meaning after that

Back to the topic, I think that all characters in DA are very well written and likable... Alistair just happens to have few traits that girls find appealing, nothing wrong with that as far as I can see ^^ Morrigan is also pretty cool, altho I sometimes get bored of her being annoyed with so many things, just as some people get bored with Alistair crying However I still think that Sten is one of the coolest dudes ever

I just wish that the women could of had as much attention to them as Zevran and Alistair >_>
Morrigan seems to jsut be the stereotype of a tsundere, just without the noble upbringing, Leliana on the otherhand seems to be just bland.

It's just a shame that people like Alistair in rl tend to not get the attention and popularity that Alistair is getting >_>

edit
 sorry about the double post
