So your real name is something akin to a daemon's True Name? Call it and it will be your slave?

I've two endings in which my PCs were totally in a romance with Alistair and I made that clear to everyone, even "breaking up" with Zev (twice in one game) and both games ended with me in a romance with both of them. The one where I broke up with Zev twice, I even married Alistair and became queen and the epilogue still talked about him sticking around to be with his love.

So yeah, Zev is just as bad as the others.

Lucky you. My PC broke it of (unintentionally) with Zevran, and that was all she wrote. No second chances. I had to reload an older save. I'm envious, I tell you. Envious!

Yeah, I know I melt and start saying "You wish is my desire" after getting a nice beef bone.....


edited to add -> that was unintentionally dirty LOL, but I'm leaving it gosh darn it!

Maybe he's just happy you're giving him something that's potentially edible. After all, if the cooking's been left up to him, the entire party is probably starving by now...

I've revoked him from cooking duties in my stories.  I'd rather not have dead party members.

What, grey unappetizing slob is good for you! Builds character and elemental resistances!

See, that's really a big turn-off. I don't like to be called 'dear' by anyone other than my mother, father, and grandparents. So... ick and blargh and yecchh.
I wonder if it was intentionally done. Sort of like a bucket of cold water thrown at the players. I wouldn't put it past those sneaky Bioware writers

I don't mind the "my dear" so much. No, it's not as romantic as "Your desire is my command" or Zevran's "I am yours", but to me it signifies something deeper. A comfort with the PC that wasn't there previously. At that point, he's told you that he loves you, you've responded in the same way, so he's secure in his feelings. You can see throughout the entire game that all he really wants is somewhere to belong, which is what, presumably, you've given him when you get the relationship to that point.

And let's not forget charred rabbit! Mmm, my favourite.

Decisions, decisions...

Unintentional poisoning by Alistair, or intential poisoning by Morrigan.

An aside: I love the "Can you cook" convo you can have with Morrigan/Alistair outside of Flemeth's hut. Makes me giggle madly every time. "I can...cook, yes. ... I also know FIFTEEN different poisons that can be made from plants that grow in this very marsh. Not that I would suggest tis at all related to...cooking."

:lol:

[Sabriana]

Well, if you don't mind it, that's fine. I view it as getting colder and taking the PC for granted.



However, I always associate "my dear" (or its german equivalent of "liebes") with my parents and grandparents.

@Freckles - Her face is just so priceless. Like she's thinking of the best way to say it without too much drama.

@Reuben - Oh I know my party should have every elemental resistance by now dealing with his cooking.

Alistair is just being a guy!

He's caught, cooked, fried and had the fish with sauce and mint, he's not going to be salivating again till he's hungry all over again.

I feel the same way you do. Though IRL, I prefer 'darling.'  He's strictly on dish duty in my camp.

When my daughter has to cook for herself, it's always those noodle things you open up, pour water in up to the fill line, and then stick it in the microwave. Equality is finally here. Yay.

I had the Zevran issue in my last playthrough when I was just trying to be faithful to Alistair. Leliana got the point and then just became my giggley school-girl best friend, talking about the boys and such. (Super cute btw), but Zev just didn't get it. And I never even slept with him!

Alistair asked me to break it off with Zev, so I did. Zev was sad but said I made the right choice. Next thing I know, Zev's right back at it and telling me to dump Alistair? Then when Morrigan was giving me her ritual speech, she was asking me to think of Alistair AND Zev, both of them loved me...wtf? P1ss off you horny little elf!

And Alistair's responses...

PC: Excellent! You can substitute for Alistair.

Alistair: Right. My cooking will kill us. That's all I meant.

OR

PC: Don't listen to him. You don't have to cook.

Alistair: You missed your chance. Now it's charred rabbit from here on in.

I didn't even find that conversation until I read about it on the boards here. I am very guilty for not clicking on NPCs because i assume that they'll have nothing to say to me.

Like Wynne in the Tower...she's a veritable font of information about what's happening, telling you about a meeting that Irving, Niall, Uldred, and some others were in, etc., etc.. If you didn't speak to her at Ostagar, she starts off by suggesting you look familiar, and asks if you're a Grey Warden; then she goes on to ask Alistair if he is too, and he introduces himself. Kind of cute.

(Yes, I like the way Steve Valentine says "Alistair". I'm odd, I don't deny it.)

[Kohaku]

What I hate is that there is so much to miss in this game. I never thought of talking to her when I was with Alistair! ~Covers eyes~

Well, if you don't want him, send him over here. He'll be more than welcome

But she has yet to master the grey sludge. That can only be achieved by years and years of practice.

This is true... It has taken my mother years to perfect her ability to ruin everything she cooks. I'm vaguely in awe of it... Thank goodness cooking abilities do not pass through the matriarchal line!

I think they did that to show "development" to a comfortable established relationship from an infatuation or something, but I think that is a bit off. My husband speaks more lovingly to me after 10 years of marriage than he did at the beginning, actually.

I don't think that is it as, well, at least with one other romance character's greeting gets much sweeter after he falls in love.  Then again, with Alistair, I think he was more in love with being in love, and once he falls for real, the reality of his situation starts to hit him and he becomes more distant.

Quit telling him you like him staring at you!  *grin* So many people have the opposite problem, they want to turn the Zevran romance back on after Ali dumps them and they can't.

You are such a funny person. You have made me laugh out loud repeatedly. I thank you for that.

@ Herr Uhl

She has too many people to fall back on should the worst happen. There's me, her brother (yes, my son is a far better cook than my daughter), grandparents, aunts, uncles... you name it they're falling for her ruses of the starving waif. It helps that she is tall and skinny, I guess. Even her father sends her canned hams and stuffeth trough the mail. So I suspect the grey sludge has to wait. She's far too good at manipulations, lol.

Edited to add: Like that's a surprise Ejoslin. My poor, misguided mage was mentally punched by Alistair in the worst way possible. Zevran was there to help her through it. Thank goodness his romance never really turned off in that first play-through. For some reason I neglected to tell him that Alistair was my one and only, and I am grateful.

Glad to be of service, Sabriana! And my seven year old gaping maw of a son is just like your daughter. Everyone is out to feed him, even strangers! Of course, he looks like you could play the xylophone on his ribs -- not through lack of eating, mind you. The child is a flippin' Hoover around food... My husband's family is a good, old fashioned Southern one, so whenjever we get together, Boy Child is in Heaven with all of the aunties giving him food and cuddles. And of course, he doesn't play it up at all..... *rolls eyes*
