I was just sitting here thinking it might be funny for him to be married to Anora and he knocks up one of the workers at the Pearl. My human female warden who he dumped would be laughing her bum off, thankful she avoided that whole mess.

Ok, had to edit.  LMAO at the poster above me.

Oh, silly Eluvianix. Modding is all fine and dandy. But you  can't expect Bioware to take that into account. 

Mhmm. You totally know Alistair had a thing for Duncan.

FArther son Relationship. But meh up to interpretation.

Well the lore statement says your game overrides the what if scenario. (kind of weird to begin with as DA2 shouldn't have happened in that world since your clan is shown returning for your funeral and being given your people's new home land in Dalish US)

So the answer is who really wants to marry a titleless drunk who abandoned the wardens and his country when the Warden didn't give into his temper tantrum about his wanting to shirk the duties that he spent the blight telling you we were to uphold, for personal revenge. Plus had it not been for Bann Teagan showing up to pull him out of the bar he spent 3 years in Kirkwall in wallowing in his sorrow, he likely would have committed suicide when his coin ran out or committed an act of suicidal bravery when horn head tried to take over the city.

Nah. You're just imagining that!

[hobbit of the shire]

Considering Alistair is already a bastard king, and the nobles allowed it, I don't think it would be out of the question for Alistair to have a kid outside of wedlock (unless the Chantry is up in arms), if he refuses to simply marry some noblewoman. I mean, it could even be sort of a known public thing that the king needs to try to make heirs asap. Ferelden needs an heir. Last heir will die soon. Could also justify that it would be unfair to marry the mother if he is going to die soon. Not to mention his Wardenness will mean he needs lots of time to try to conceive, so time is running out. The public *might* be okay with that. I mean, if it's a decade later and Alistair won't budge, what are the nobles to do? They'll be forced to accept a bastard heir. Unless Alistair refuses all * out of wedlock. Then they are in a pickle and the nobles are already jostling for position to take the throne. (Could Alistair nominate an heir?)

[Anvos]

Considering the nobles don't go up in arms over Anora being sole Queen its likely that while one of the blood is preferential they'd be willing to accept somebody else.

Plus there are always other options since I believe Fergus remarries and since he's the Teyrn of Highever his children probably could be considered viable cannidates when the current monarch dies or has to step down.

[KiwiQuiche]

Well, if he marries a Royal Warden there's always her brother Fergus. He just needs to remarry and have a kid and they can stick that one on the throne since they can't have one.

EDIT: Oh great we've already gotten to the 'he's not married so he's obviously gay derpahurr' part.

3. He's gay.

... only if a mod is used. Which, usually, Bio doesn't recognize as a canonical state of being. 

And yes, there are plenty of heterosexuals who never get married. Some even have children, this seems to be less of a problem in Thedas than it still is in the real world (though it's less of a problem today than it was 800 years ago). Although, of course, they also use that wonderful medieval term "bastard". 

BTW, I really try to resist getting diverted into real-world poltiical arguments, which is where this is going to lead, but let me just observe that so far it appears to be the case that while Thedas certainly tolerates same-sex relationships, we haven't seen, so far, any solemnized and recognized as actual marriages, which apparently the Chantry will only still perform between men and women.

I think the blood magic is making Alistair imagine something else.

 @Veruin, I have no idea what you are talking about.

Alistair always shirks his responsibility when it doesn't mesh with his own desires. It seems to be a problem with Theirin men.

Interesting observation.... I always thought once given responsibility he lived up to it.... he didnt want to be a templar,,,,but he accepted his resposibility - however distasteful ...he didnt want to be King, but accepted it and apparently did a pretty good job ...

I guess it depends on the choices you make as a Warden?

Recently I was reading a novel published in 1815 and was surprised and amused to see the term "natural born." Up until that point I had only ever seen it in the Song of Ice and Fire novels. It certainly is a nicer alternative, and it's unfortunate we never got to hear that term in addition to "bastard" in DAO.

[MKDAWUSS]

Alistair never got married because...

HE TOOK OGHREN'S ADVICE!

[Vit246]

Why doesn't Bioware just get Alistair married? Screw the fangirls.
Is Alistair that selfish?

[CybAnt1]

He could always elope. With a barmaid.

I've always wondered if that was something Martin invented or if it had historical basis.  I can't help but wonder how in the world it gained the connotation of bastardy, though.  From my perspective, it would seem like "natural born" would be a positive appellation applied to legitimate children, not bastards--if only because it brings to mind the idea of being "unnaturally born," which is much closer to the idea of "base born," than the other.

Gotta give the fangirls a second chance.

Its already been said that the only child Alistair will ever have is the OGB.

I hadn't heard this, do you happen to have the link?

Trust me, it's not even remotely true. The devs have said nothing like that.

Dont have to believe me. It was said though. Do a search on the forums a few years back.

Alistair does NOT have a child with Anora. Anora is ruling alone never has a child.  And the only child Alistair concieves is the OGB.

Don't you realize they're doing this for someone else to get the throne down the road?

Don't think the monarchy is going to dissolve in 30 or so years.   There is going to be another fight for the throne.

Alistair is always going to be the last surviving theTheirin unless the OGB shows up down the road.

He's a eunuch.

I was gonna say Anora could pop out some babies but then reread the epilogue, didn't know she refused to remarry due to her father complex.
