He's one of the first one that suggests killing him would be the best option then when you do it he has a fit about it

That's his templar mentality over what he knows.

Once he learns there are alternatives, his opinion changes almost instantly.

It's not hypocrisy, it's not being ignorant anymore.

Why kill a child when you're perfectly able to cure him?

Except he still does that even if you have no other way (annulled the circle, stabbed Jowan). So it does look ridculous when he's all "has to be done." then rips you a knew one in camp going about "some other way" when there wasn't any.

Not unless he metagames. :innocent:

It's scapegoating. If you press him on it, Alistair admits it's not so much that he's pissed at you as feeling he's betrayed Eamon.

In a way, it's not that different than when Leandra blames Hawke for letting their younger sibling die, which she later admits is a mistake.

Agreed. He instead says you should have sacrificed Lady Isolde, and if you go ahead with Jowan's ritual he will yell at you for that too. He can't accept that it was her choice, not the Warden's. (No, Isolde was "grasping at straws").

If he spoke out against killing the kid (like Leliana) then his anger would be justified. As it is, he suggested doing it and went along with it. He's just as guilty for the act.

I normally like Alistair but his reaction was all over the place. (and hypocritical). Like said, he's scapegoating and more worried about how Eamon will react than Isolde or Connor.

I love this about Alistair. It really shows how flawed he is. That makes him more real. It's like his closet racism. He's such a great character it is easy to raise him up on some pedestal but these glaring flaws make him so much more worthwhile.
