I'd definitely like to see her again. And if we return to Ferelden, we very likely will see her.

I too would like to see Anora …

… rotting in some dark cell within Fort Drakon.

Alistair and Queen Cousland cannot have kids since they're both Grey Wardens. It is possible for one Grey Warden to have a kid, but not together.


He actually said it MIGHT not be possible, he hadn't heard of 2 wardens having a child.

I wouldn't mind seeing Anora again. I like her and think she's one of the best characters in the Dragon Age universe. Both my playthroughs have her remaining as Queen (one ruling alone and one with Alistair), so perhaps there's a good chance you'll encounter her again.

I would love to see her again, she's one of my favorite characters (and imo the only sensible choice for a ruler during the Landsmeet). I was really disappointed when she didn't get a quest in DA2 like Alistair.

I'd like to see her cameo as a head on a spike.

Or maybe she can get her useless self captured again.

"Why does this keep happening every time I boldly march through the front door of a villain's headquarters with only my maid for protection? I just can't figure it out!"


But wasn't the whole thing more of a ruse? It's been a while since I played DA:O, but I always thought it was a deliberate move on her part. Building a connection with the Hero of Ferelden and all that...

I mean, Anora is not stupid. She may be ruthless and cunning and cold, but I've yet to see her act stupid.
That's actually what I like about her. She's efficient, gets stuff done and knows that politics aren't all puppies and rainbows.
Which is exactly why I never put Alistair on the throne. (Mine was always unhardened, so he'd be a terrible choice.)

I like her, so yes I would like to see her again in the future.

This. All my playthroughs have Anora on the throne, in my canon she rules alone.

This is what I like about Anora as well and one of the reasons why I don't get the massive hatedom for her. It's true that she'll stab you in the back when she gets the chance, but that only happens if you act foolishly. Like when you rescue her from Arl Howe's estate, Anora will betray you to Ser Cauthrien if you mention her, despite her specifically telling you that her identity be kept hidden at all costs. And then at the Landsmeet,  Anora will stab you in the back if you fail to build a convincing case against Loghain. 

What I'm trying to say is, Anora allied with the Warden because she hoped to gain an ally that will help her win back the throne convincingly. But if the Warden proves to be too stupid to be of any use, why should she bother?

If that was Anora's plan, then she doesn't even have the commonsense that God gave dirt. She has no reason to think the Warden will come for her.

The current working plan is to put Alistair on the throne. Anora is an obstacle to that goal and sneaking into an enemy fort to save her is a stupid and unnecessary risk that the Warden shouldn't even be attempting, and when he does, she sells him up the river the minute they get caught.

Cold, maybe, but I see no evidence of cunning or efficiency.

Anora talks a big game, but talking is all she does. Being 'the brains' behind Cailan is nothing to brag about. What impressive things did Cailan even do that Anora can take credit for? If she's so damn smart then why did she stand around like a gaping trout while Loghain singlehandedly destroyed the crown's relationship with the rest of the nobility with his gobsmacking lack of tact? In what sense is that efficient? If she's such a capable ruler, why did she hide behind her deranged father's drooling idiocy, rather than take the chance to prove herself?

Anora had her chance to rule and she blew it, I'll take the inexperienced newcomer over the proven failure, thanks.

Oh yes, so very much.
My canon Warden was quite happy to marry the woman he loved (despite the unusual circumstances), so I'd like to see a mention of that. Doesn't necessarily have to be in Inquisition, but somewhere down the line...actually, I'm happy as long as they don't do anything to screw up my headcanon.


This.

I hope not. I never made her Queen
anyway and I think it would just open a huge can of worms for those who
made Alistair king and imprisoned Anora.I understood having a reference
or 2 in DA2 since Hawke was Fereldan but if the new PC is say Orlesian
then there's no point for Alistair or Anora to appear.


What about the people who executed Alistair and put Anora on the throne? Did his cameo as King Alistair open a huge can of worms for them?

And I'm not at all bitter that Alistair got three different cameos and Anora none, nope.

I like Anora, but I don't think she should show unless she is significent to the plot. I don't even think Alistair should have made it all the way to Kirkwall just to give Hawke a pep-talk.

Sorry but it has already been confirmed that if Anora is made queen she dies of blight sickness, since Anora has no children the people of Ferelden have no choice but to relinquish the throne to the only living heir of Maric which is the formerly exiled prince Alistair who reclaims the throne and becomes the new King of Ferelden.

I like it when users often complain about choices having no impact disregard it when it involves characters they don't enjoy.

I don't *mind* Anora, but I still think she (or Alistair) should be seen taking a more active role in the politics of Thedas. Of course, Dragon Age isn't aiming to be a Song of Ice and Fire (I think) in terms of political intrigue, but with a civil war going on and all, it would be interesting if Anora could take advantage of it in any way possible.

It is canon, but I think he meant it as in "canon in my universe." The game's own universe should be seperate.

Oh, well that sucks. But I do hope that Alistair's rulership differs from how the Warden made an impact on him. It's okay to make a retcon like that, understandable even, but they could at least make that retcon work some how.

Well, I'm sure the people of Ferelden will have a lot of fun with a corpse on the throne. I hear those are really good at ruling.

I would support meeting the ruler of Ferelden (whoever that may be), but only if it's relevent. I'm not interested in seeing old faces just for the sake of seeing old faces. Thedas is supposed to be big, yes? It doesn't make sense to keep running into the same people game after game for no other reason than to say, "Oh, look who it is! (insert random character with no legitimate reason to be so far away from home)."

That's my opinion anyway.

People, he was joking. It was not confirmed. In fact, Mr.Gaider already said that if the series were ever to deal with Ferelden's royalty, that Anora would definitively appear.

Nothing like that has been retconned. Besides, Alistair can just as well be dead, rather than exiled, either because he was executed or because he killed the Archdemon.

The new game taking place outside of Ferelden with a non-Ferelden PC wouldn't mean that it wouldn't make sense for the Ferelden monarch to appear.  The mage-templar conflict is multi-national, for one, and for another, there's a civil war brewing in Orlais that has implications for Ferelden, especially considering what Alistair tells Hawke about certain Orlesian factions wanting to re-take its former southern province.  There's plenty of legitimate story-reasons to include scenes with the monarch of Ferelden, whether Anora or Alistair.

Indeed. I would love to see the politically savvy Anora again. Seems like there could be some real opportunity for her to show up.

Alistair being king is supposed to be canon.  Though with DA2 acknowledging if you made Anora Queen this may no longer be the case.
