LOL this thread is making me glad I'm single at the moment, for once. So I thank you all for that!



I still don't understand what ladies see in Alistair over Sten...

I thought Duncan was kind of hot in a Sean Connery meets The Most Interesting Man in the World kind of way.

o_O

I would totally get my character with Duncan in a heartbeat. A HEARTBEAT.

Duncan can sense your taint

He looks like an angry yam?

I'm shallow to mention it, I know.

Alistair and me have something in common



We both cried at the end of ET

I kind of vowed to stay out of these threads - I just flat out enjoy the character of Alistair as he was written (except for one, well, ginormous character-breaking flaw, but lets not go there. *sigh* ).

The thing about his appeal - and even Zevran's really - is that I DO know guys like Alistair, or with manyaspects of Alistair. In fact, I have more guy friends, and have had boyfriends in the past that are funny, self-deprecating, able to step up if they have to, but not alpha-male assertive douche types. They are reasonably confident about themselves in some areas and maybe not so much in other areas, but are articulate, smart and fun to hang out with. And yeah, some of them have been decently "romantic" at some times, and at other times, pretty block-headed.

I honestly don't know a bunch of mono-syllabic, macho, sword or gun-wielding leaders of men. Nor am I attracted to guys who can't lighten the hell up once in a while. Basically, most males in video games are the heroes, and most of them would be rather dull guys to hang out with if you met up with them at a party or something. "Uhm, can you stop scanning the crowd suspiciously for five minutes and not glare at the host angrily? Geez, have a fricking drink and lighten up!" Whereas if you met Alistair or Zevran at a party, you'd probably feel pretty relaxed in their company and be joking around a bit fairly quickly.

I think Bioware did a good job at creating a male character with a little more depth than you usually get. They did a good job with all of their characters tho, I have to say.

He told you that?

Last time I tried to watch ET it was so crap I didn't manage to make it to the end.

Crap?

Its a very sad ending

You mean because it leaves you free to bat your eyelashes at us lovely Ali-lovers? Aw, you are sweet :innocent:

Sorry to have to break it to you, however, but we're all... just too... smitten with Alistair to allow you a fighting chance.

So sorry

And to be fair, I fancy Sten a bit as well.

Not exactly It reminds me of some the Twilight stuff, though nowhere near as lame or hardcore. But I can only imagine if I started a thread about a female videogame character and how she puts my girlfriend to shame... I don't think it'd be half as civil as this one

I maintain the theory that it's the voice that seduces all the Alistair fangirls. In real life, he wouldn't even be able to cook you dinner without crying about his mentor, cracking some lame jokes and then asking what you think you should eat and then wondering if maybe you should just cook it yourself since you're better at it anyway

He he, the person who drew that comic is on here! I LOVE her work. She does a lot of good Alistair stuff. Aimo, check her out in the community creations section.



And about the sniping...I have a really low tolerance for parade pissers. I didn't mean to get my hackles up, and then I misunderstood.

I LOOOOVE Aimo's work. Her brood mother comics are AMAZING.

Well, trailer-version was pretty hot. But as I still haven't successfully convinced him I'm even a woman, it could get complicated. ../../../images/forum/emoticons/unsure.png

But I've mastered the taint!

Boyfriend and a couple of friends and I had a hilarious chuckle over that line. Someone suggested that it sounded like an extremely specific fetish porno...but then we all tried to imagine what it would actually involve and after a few seconds decided that we really couldn't, lol.

That said, I'd take Duncan over any of the romanceable NPCs.

LOL @ the comic above! If there is more, anyone has a link?



Alistair is something like hubby would have been if he had been locked up in a convent. I don't think he is that whiney or a coward: he does jump into battle at every chance and does do what is needed for Ferelden... so I won't hold it against him if he is actually aware of his flaws and realizes that responsibility comes along with power.

Exactly. My dream man

And I am British myself, so I don't think it's his accent that seduced me. I just love his personality. There's nothing wrong with being indecisive and a bit of a bumbling oaf (I am both of these things, you see).

British girls rock.. love the accent

[Jules8445]

LMAO. Convincing Sten that you actually are a woman would be a step in the right direction. He's just not my type though. I'd be much more likely to fall for a Zev or Alistair-type character.



I loved the comments about the party. I think that's exactly it for me, I could actually see myself approaching Alistair. He's just bumbling/self deprecating/innocent/silly enough that even though he's good looking, you could talk to him.



In other games, I just couldn't see the hero giving me the light of day. Plus...who doesn't like a guy who picks a flower in the middle of battle, then gives it to you and tells you you're a rare and beautiful thing.



I still blush every time. Maybe I'm a sap, and maybe I just haven't had enough guys use silly lines on me...but I like it.

Ah, strokes and folks. I think there's a little bit of Alistair in every man... well, every man who isn't a alpha macho jackhole. He reminds me of myself in some ways, but I'd have to differentiate myself as more of a jerk who is simultaneously less adverse to responsibility.

I dunno, he just seems very boy-toyish from a romance perspective. Like, not the kind of guy to sweep you off you feet. More like the guy you keep in your pocket. Which in the real world usually means you're the equivalent of a "dick in a jar" or something similar . Which is how I spent most of my high school romance career LOL.

But he is good looking and has a smashing voice, so it's not a total mystery.

Yeah, at some point Sarielle just decided it wasn't worth the hassle, since it didn't affect him fighting for her in the long run, lol.
