What if you put him on the throne? Are we not going to meet the ruler of Fferelden, because it seems like something we would do during the course of our gathering power and etc.

 

Yeah, like I said, I think it's very possible that he'll be in DA:I

It hasn't been directly confirmed Alistair is not going to appear in DAI at all, seemingly Alistair will not be a huge focus in the game and Sreve Valentine may be contacted at a later date to do some work. But if that is not the case then Bioware may have Alistair pegged for other content.

[Meatbaggins]

The leader of the Inquisition doesn't necessarily have to meet the king or queen of Ferelden. It stretched it enough that he even bothered to step foot in Kirkwall to speak to a former refugee.  

 

I don't think it would be stretching it. There are perfectly plausible scenarios in which the Inquisition would request an audience with the ruler of Ferelden, perhaps to request support, and I don't think Alistair or Anora would turn someone away if they knew that all of Thedas was at stake.

Why exactly would it be nice to see Alistair again?  He has an incredibly shallow personality, no personal drive, ambition, or even demonstrated interests other than "I want someone else to tell me what to do because responsibility R hard" and "I want someone to wuv me".  Time for him to get on with his life.

 

Well to be frank, more like his fans (including me) might need to let him go at some point. I'd rather finish up the rest of his journey in my head and to be honest even if you didn't like him as a character, many enjoyed him as a comedic relief. But hey that's just me~ *Kanye shrug*

 

Edit: 

 

But I would still like to see a cameo (specially with the new engine!)

[realguile]

I'd prefer all of the old characters return in a meaningful way rather than a cameo or "blurb" in a book. I saw what happened in DA2 and i would much prefer a focus on the new characters and their development without trying to do things specifically trying to get to a plot point with the king of ferelden or such. Maybe DLC in the future, but for now lets give this new world and cast their own time to shine in Dragon Age.

[Bond]

I do not care. If he was there - good. If he is not - good. 

In fact i prefer him not to be because Leliana and Morrigan are there. Varic obviously. Cullen maybe.... Enough familiar faces yo.

Well, since Mark Darrah stated in his blog back in December that they were starting to "record VO for larger parts of the game", which IMO takes a while, it is entirelly possible that Steve Valentine will at some point in the upcoming months be contacted to jump in the booth for a cameo.

 

And as for Alistair being King/drunk/dead in people's playthroughs, I think they'll handle his part in DAI as they did Wrex in ME3 - if he survived ME2 he became the head of his clan in ME3, or he was replaced by his brother Wreave if not.

 

For all we know Alistair may still be looking for his father during the time DAI takes place (not really sure what time frame the comics are covering).

People are jumping the gun as usual, like you pointed out Darrah stated that they started recording the big parts in December and Gaider just stated that they're still recording only contact them when they're ready to do so.

 

So they might not have contacted him because his role isn't as big as Morrigan's but not necessarily a cameo like some people think, especially since they already said a majority of events take place in Fereldan and said that our actions will have consequences with the rulers so it doesn't make to much sense for him not to appear.

 

The only thing they confirmed was that if he's in DAI then he won't be a companion after someone asked darah about it even if it was extremely unlikely to begin with.

 

No the events in the comics already happened andmay be apart of your game if you played it close to what is in them, anyway they take place in 9:38 dragon and DAI takes place around 9:41 dragon.

I hope this game clears the slate and in future DA titles there will be no more cameos.

 Not likely, there will always be cameos and according to the devs have said that DAI will have a significant returning cast, some will be cameos and some will be vital to the game.

[Setiweb]

Voice recording is not complete. It will be ongoing for a number of months yet.

 

And we only contact voice actors when we are preparing to schedule their session.

And just when I think the voice in the trailer is David Wenham I remember you said it was a British actor.  DW is Australian.  Oh the agony.

[myahele]

I'm kinda glad that he won't make an appearance. Id rather him be mentioned in passing, but I don't want cameos

[CrybabyXD]

as long as game acknowlegde he is what i made him im fine. I was disappointed when anora didnt appear in da2 so maybe its alistair fans time.

It's not confirmed that he will or will not be in DAI, they're still recording and will be for months according to Gaider and he also said they only contact them when they're ready to do so.

The only thing's confirmed is that they didn't contact him last month which really doesn't mean all that much given what both Darrah and Gaider said, and that if he's in DAI then he will be an npc.

Everything other than that is just an overreaction based off a single tweet that doesn't really tell us anything, we really should hold off on thing's like this until the devs actually confirm it either way so in the mean time we should just sit tight and we for more news instead of jumping to conclusions.

This. We need to accept the fact that we are only speculating.

[GreyWardenNathan]

By the time of inquisition he may have been taken by the taint or effected by it

Wardens usually have 30 years if I remember correctly.

[wcholcombe]

I don't know if Allistair is in game or not, I don't think the tweet means much, however if he isn't:

It would make sense, they have told us Ferelden can't deal with the threat because they are still trying to recover from the blight.

That being the case, it sounds like Alistair or Angora or whoever has their hands full.

[Dio Demon]

Out of curiosity how old is that tweet?

[Aoba]

Out of curiosity how old is that tweet?

 

The tweet was made 2/7/2014. Personally, I feel it a bit silly to jump the gun and assume Alistair's not returning as D.G. has pointed out that they bring in the voice actors when they're needed. He also said they still have several months of VA work to go, so anything can change in that amount of time.

[Rotward]

Why would he be in the game? 

[Divine Justinia V]

Why would he be in the game? 

 

Because he's more than likely King of Ferelden and we will be at the head of the entire Inquisition? And we will probably seek his assistance in some way, shape or form?

[darkchief10]

I'm pretty sure that even if he was he wouldn't state it at this point. most people in the game are more than likely still under NDA's at least until bioware gets the hype train rolling and stops starving us to death. so chill, It ain't over till the fat lady sings

Not exactly.

TUK: On that note, you've said that it takes about thirty years more or less between the Joining and the Calling, ish, [DG grimaces audibly and visibly]...sorry! What can accelerate or decelerate that process if anything, or is it something you created that you now regret?

 

DG: It's something I put in Alistair's dialogue that I now regret! Afterwards I was like, "Wow, thirty years is a long time for that time frame." I didn't really intend when I was writing it, and only afterwards when I went back I said "Oh...I guess it does sort of implies thirty years after you take the Calling, doesn't it..." Sorry, after you take the Joining. That wasn't really my intention. But it's out there now so I'm like, okay, thirty years. But the idea is also that it varies. Thirty years is the maximum that you could probably expect. It's going to vary for an individual according to their willpower and the level of their interaction with the darkspawn. During a Blight you can expect that the Grey Wardens are going to have shorter lifespans. Outside of a Blight the Grey Wardens would tend to live longer. We have instances in the game of people going on their Calling after five or ten years. Alistair's thirty year quote shouldn't be taken as gospel, that's the way I like it.

[Eveangaline]

Well if we don't have reason to run into the king (or wandering warden or wandering drunk), we don't have reason to run into him.

[JoltDealer]

He could be lying, but then again, he could be telling the truth.  Bioware is still in the midst of recording and he just may not have been contacted yet.  Regardless, Allistair being involved in the next game's story, gives away a bit more about the plot than one would think.  Even if Steve Valentine were involved, Bioware may want to keep it hushed until they were close to launch.  Any kind of Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) would keep Allistair's voice actor from saying much, if he did indeed sign one.  

[Lord Raijin]

I sure hope this is just a joke. I made Aistair king and if we do return back to Ferelden in DA: It would be in bad taste if we don't get to see him again.
