I'm most curious about a Warden!Alistair (Mine is king, I'm so happy about the Keep) because of the suspicious stuff the wardens seem to be up to recently.

 

And also, I don't want to be 'that person' but how old is Alistair exactly...? Could we actually be seeing his Calling during DA:I? 

 

I recall Alistair being 21 in Origins. Even so, he's only been a warden for around 15 years or so. He could be close to his calling but the Grey Warden lifespan can go further than that, I think.

Alistair was born in 9:10 Dragon according to WoT. He should be 29-30 if DA:I starts in 9:40 Dragon.

So his calling is possible but not certain. Hmm. I really hope he has a roll at least a little bit bigger than he did in DA2, and if he's romanced I wonder what he'll say about his missing warden.

As i already stated in similar topic. If not in DAI - cool. If he is in - cool. I could not be more 50/50. Many people like him i suppose, but i did not care for him at all. I have a lot of common with him in terms of looks and personality, and yet i dont find him that interesting. Strange.

Alistair's dead in my canon world but it'd be nice to see him on a non-canon replay. 

However, if he's in the game in his capacity as king, I hope they at least have Anora this time for those of us who made her queen. Unlike Alistair, she didn't even get a cameo in DA II and if there's important stuff going on with the Fereldan monarch it's only fair that they include the Anora option too.

Maybe he just has to record some battle-cry as Alistair plunges into battle when the Inquisition is attacking the Warden fortress and he dies. Or, if he's drunk, he'll be fighting in a bar and dying. Or if he's king, he'll be dying at the peace conference in the beginning.

No, I hope not.
In all seriousness, this is kind of pretty exciting, though it'll likely be nothing more than a small cameo. And I'm cool with that.

I kinda doubt that they'll do something like that especially the king version since he was specifically mentioned by one of the devs in one of the podcasts when they were talking about if you're playing as a conqueror type that takes over occupied fortresses, strongholds, keeps that are in their territories then you'll be hearing from them.

It think the size of his role will depend on on what we do in the keep and what we make him.

If they killed him in the first few minutes they would secure themselves enough fan tears to sustain them until Dragon Age 4.

I think that's unlikely and they would likely get a lot of backlash if they did from his fans( I wouldn't be to thrilled either) though maybe he may die over the course if the game depending on what they do with him, the wardens and Fereldan but I just can't see him dieing early on.

Guess he wasn't in talks with Bioware for a while because earlier he tweeted he wasn't in DA:I. I'm glad, I love Alistair! DA:I is gonna be amazing.

That's the most likely case, considering Gaider already indicated that they only contact them when they'reready to use them so technically this is confirmed, they showed someone else not to long ago who may be in DAI aswell.

I knew people were seriously overreacting when they took Steve's tweet that he hadn't been contacted yet to mean "No Alistair in DA:I". Regardless, glad to see that he'll apparently be in it (unless he's voicing a different character, which would be a strange move on Bioware's part).

Same here, also considering the fact Gaider later said that they only contact them when they're ready to start recording their roles and that they'll be recording for months to come.

Nah he'll be recording as Alistair one dev dropped his name saying that if Alistair's a monarch and you're a conqueror type then you'll be hearing from him and this tweet by Darah the same day Valentine said that they didn't contact him and this from their face book.

@JamesWrightNI @Stevevalentine @Mike_Laidlaw Alistair is not a follower in #DAI . Other than that, I don't know what we are talking about

Edit

And this from Gaider in theTwitter thread.

Unlike Allan, I am not willing to poke this particular bear needlessly. He does indeed play Alistair. Insofar as what role Alistair plays in the game, however, that you will have to wait and see.

(Other than him being a party member, which he most definitely is not.)

Anyway on to the op, I think he'll have a role in the plot that varries according to our world histories that we set with the grey warden version being the biggest one, and if there's a scism going on then either we'll be working with or against him depending on what type of character we're playing as and that the grey wardens are up to something very suspicious that warrants Cassandra and the inquisition attacking them and that the book the last flight is supposed to reveal some secrets that will likely cast doubt on them and possibly set them up some of them as an antagonistic force.

The second is the king version for a number of reasons, like we'll be going to various nations and establishing beach heads in them and that they've said that monarchs won't care if you get rid of some bandits, demons, cultists, taking over un occupied bases etc but if you take over stuff in their territories under their protection then they will take notice and do something.

That we'll be spending a large chunk of the game in fereldan and the other stuff they've said I can't imagine us not going to Denerim and getting permission to set up beach heads and in general not meeting with the monarchs doesn't make much sense. Also the grey wardens were waiting for him in act 3 which also concides with when the warden was supposed to return to Denerim makes me even more suspicious of them.

Not sure about the drunken exile one but he'sat least back in Fereldan (probably Red Clife) considering Tegan collected him from Kirkwall and said it was time for him to start over again back in Fereldan but unsure what use they would have for him other than the throne or the return of the ancient dragons that Yavana and Flemeth were trying to free.

Alistair is about 31-32 years old now and hasn't really been a warden to long so I kinda doubt his calling is going to start soon and has a maximum of close to 20 years left thougit's possible I just don't see them doing so.

There's a lot they can do the only question is it a cameo or does it fall under the category of returning characters that are vital or somewhat vital to the game.

I hope he's stopped getting drunk in my game then It will be interesting to see what happened to him. I'd like to see Sten too.

[happy_daiz]

Oh, this makes my day. I just love that big, cuddly teddy bear.

[Nimlowyn]

So his calling is possible but not certain. Hmm. I really hope he has a roll at least a little bit bigger than he did in DA2, and if he's romanced I wonder what he'll say about his missing warden.

Personally, I'd say his calling is unlikely, I'd give him another 10 years at minimum. Since my warden romanced Alistair I am *definitely* interested in what he'll say...are they in cahoots? Is she missing, even from him? 

[WidePaul]

I like returning characters, but wouldn't be upset if Alistair hadn't popped up somewhere, my main concern is with the wardens, I like them and hope Bioware doesn't pull a Cerberus with them.

Yeah good point, wonder if there'll be more than one "version" of Alistair.

This is the Internet, it's practically a requirement to overreact.

[King Cousland]

If there's no Anora now, I riot.

I don't think they will. That said, I have more faith in the Dragon Age franchise than I ever had with Mass Effect.

[Marakov7]

As long as he doesn't show up for me when I play DAI (he's led away to be executed in all my DAO playthroughs), I'm fine with it for others. If he's anything but worm food for me, I won't be very happy...although I never actually saw him executed so who knows?

[Naesaki]

Well the moment I heard the news, I may have grown rockets in my boots and flown through the ceiling screaming at the top of my lungs

He's led away... You don't see his head getting chopped.

its possible that Alistair was saved from the chopping block. It could be Eamon, Teagan, or other supporters. I wouldn't be surprised if even Flemeth or other witches saved him given his importance in the comics and books.

[JeffZero]

How best do I approach this revelation? Ah yes, with reckless abandon.

REEEEEEECK
LEEEEEEEESS
ABANDOOOOOOOON

YESYESYESYESYES
WHO IS THE KING?
ALISTAIR IS THE KING
CAN WE HAIL THE KING?
YES, WE CAN

AM I HAILING HIM RIGHT NOW?
WHILE CHEWING ON A PIECE OF TOFU, BABY

If there's no Anora now, I riot.

 

I think we should see her aslong long as she's still alive in your game, it wouldn't make much sense not to see the monarchs of Fereldan whether or not she's the sole ruler, rules jointly or with Alistair or the current monarch by herself considering if we became consort we vanish.

As long as he doesn't show up for me when I play DAI (he's led away to be executed in all my DAO playthroughs), I'm fine with it for others. If he's anything but worm food for me, I won't be very happy...although I never actually saw him executed so who knows?

I wouldn't worry about that they confirmed he's dead whether you had him executed or sacrificed him then he won't show up and they'll proceede with Anora as the ruler,

@kunikos He is likely alive, but not always.

@kunikos Nah. If Alistair’s dead and Anora’s queen, we can support that in sequels.
11:07am - 20 Oct 13

@kunikos It’s about some degree of control: the blight is always ended, Ferelden always survived. The Keep should help keep things straight.

Yeah good point, wonder if there'll be more than one "version" of Alistair. 

Why wouldn't there be considering there's 3 versions of him that have some different permutations and is one of the reasons why the keep exists and we could experiment a bit to see if something's change and how they'll effect DAI not to mention his role could change due to what we do in DAI.

[Ianamus]

Hmm most people seem to be really excited to see Alistair back, which is nice, but personally I'm not really excited at all. 

 

Not that I don't like Alistair, I really did in origins, but his appearances in Dragon Age 2 did nothing for me.

[thats1evildude]

In the Twitter thread, DG confirmed that Valentine is voicing Alistair again.

[JeffZero]

He also confirmed he isn't a companion, which I mean, no one should have suspected, but I'm sure people thought it anyway.

[Master Warder Z_]

Drunk just came back from the Free Marches in my playthrough, no idea what he would be doing in DAI.

[leighzard]

PREORDERED!

Seriously, that tweet just put this thing on lockdown.

 

I do hope Alistair has lost some of that alcohol/kingly feasting/mysterious grey wardening weight he put on in DA2, though.
