...and 200 game play hours later... LOL It's gonna be rough. While I embrace romance spoilers, I also want to avoid story spoilers. I even try to literally skim obvious proper nouns in the romance spoilers, searching for "LEAVES YOU IF..." and the like. I actually expected Fenris to literally leave my party for good at the end of Act 2 based on my skim reading. LOL 

 

The worst spoilers I got thanks for careless internet browsing were Dumbeldore's death in HP6 and the RGB ending in ME3.

 

_{(And for those living in a cave for the last ten years, I apologise and shall leave the following N. Might Shyamalan movie twists between 2004-2014 in spoilers)}

 

Spoiler

The twists are that his career as a talented director ends up tanking, when every one of his films completely suck after Unbreakable.

I understand why people wouldn't like it, but mistress to Alistair as sole king is my female DAO canon and it often seems I'm pretty alone in selecting that xD Not only that, but people talk about it as a non-option /shrugs To each their own. It was certainly nicer because my PC brought it up while human Wardens who became king or queen seemed to just expect their LIs to go with it without discussing it first.

My favorite Amell is not only Alistair's mistress, but his Chancellor as well!

I have a female Amell who is King Alistair's mistress AND his chancellor.

...figuring out how to achieve that was grueling, but so very worth it.

I remember talking to Alistair right before the final battle, and he said something to the effect of, "Don't think this means I'm letting you get away. I'll figure out how to make this work."

I couldn't bring myself to marry him to Anora, despite knowing she would be aware of (and tolerate) our carrying on, where Alistair's hypothetical future queen might not.

I'm hoping for a similarly sappy and romantic relationship between my Trevelyan and Cullen... though I could do without all the heartbreak this time.

Lol, I got spoiled on Meredith and I was sooooooooo freaking angry.

 

As for DAI, I'm fine for spoiler up until endgame stuff. And as nothing really deep in the lore is spoiled for me, I'm ok. If I had gotten spoiled on what Corypheus was, for example, I'd have been extremely angry.

I've still yet to do a playthrough where Alistair remains a Warden, has a mistress or the Human Noble becomes King with one, or an Ultimate Sacrifice.

 

I've been debating whether to redo my canon playthrough where Alistair is sole King and Loghain is executed, with Alistair married to Anora and Loghain joining the Wardens and surviving? My canon Amell Warden is a chessmaster and the more I think about it, the more it seems in-character for them to have spared Loghain and turned him into an asset, since they also spared Avernus and allied with the Architect.

 

I suppose I could just change it in the Keep, but I kind of want to replay Awakening once more to see the Loghain scene, and because I've only ever actually completed it once despite importing several Wardens into it?

[riverbanks]

I guess what I'm looking for is the 'optimum setting', which race/class that would better suit this romance or one that will lead to a happy(er) conclusion. I thought about RogueTrevelyan/Cullen pairing, but I'm just dying to play as a Dalish Mage \(^o^)/ finally.

 

I wouldn't call it "optimum," but the "least risky" match for Cullen would be a non-mage human. There's no culture or religion shock, no mage and duty conflict, just about zero reasons for late-game relationship incidents. Unless the whole romance ends in tragedy anyway.

 

But if that's not what you wanna play, don't force yourself. I'm romancing Cullen with a rogue Trevelyan because that's what I want to do, not because it has less potential for conflict. If what you really have in your heart for this romance is a Dalish mage, go for it. Live your character the way you imagined her.

 

The mistress ending by itself is awesome though. I usually marry Alistair to Anora when I'm doing it. I had a HN mistress mostly because she wanted the freedom that it offered.

 

Yep, my Warden for this playthrough is a human noble and settled for being Alistair's consort for this same reason. Well it was more like "freedom to do her duty as Warden-Commander," away from the duties of monarchy. She made (hardened, obvs) Alistair marry Anora for the political symbolism the nobility wanted, knowing they hate each other and Anora'll never be a threat, became Chancellor so she and Alistair together have a stronger voice than Anora's, and is quite content keeping her real relationship with him away from the public eye.

 

#NotAllCouslands want to be queen.

[Sable Rhapsody]

My city elf and Alistair still lived happily ever after as Wardens, so it was still good. But that was only after reading the spoilers after the fact and doing some meta gaming. Dealing with complicated dual-career couple issues isn't something I want from my videogame life.

 

I kind of stumbled into the happier ending for my Amell and Alistair.  My Amell hated politics and wanted to burn the Landsmeet chamber to the ground by the end of the Denerim arc.  Alistair was unhardened, and never sounded like he wanted to be king.  So just like she did in Orzammar (making Bhelen king since he was the first one she talked to who gave her a promise of troops), she defaulted to the path of least resistance, which was making Anora queen and keeping Alistair as a Warden.

 

I never realized that Anora could backstab you at the Landsmeet until I had a look at the forums, so I was perfectly fine putting her on the throne 

[Chrys]

Hey, it seems I'm not nearly as alone in choosing that ending as I thought. Glad I brought it up

 

#NotAllCouslands want to be queen.

 

True that. And #NotAllCouslandQueens romanced Alistair. Mine was being scandalous with Zevran.

[Tishina]

I generally preferred to have Alistair married to Anora when I made a Warden his mistress on the assumption she didn't really want to be married to anyone anyway and would be glad to have him occupied elsewhere. I only did the sacrifice ending once, with my dwarven noble (though I actually did the DR first through to the ending, then reloaded to reject it and let her die). I think Anora's a perfectly good ruler as long as she's restrained by someone with a conscience (i.e. Alistair). I've had him rule alone a couple of times, and marry the noble warden. I think I need a noble warden who romances Zevran and makes a political marriage with Alistair, though.

 

Hopefully, the Cullen options won't be nearly so complicated, but since he is one of only two race gates, obviously I'm not the only one wondering if race will impact his ending. I think a lot may depend on what our options are for replacing the Circle/Templars.

#NotAllCouslands want to be queen.

 

Yeah mine...disliked the wardens. And yeah becoming Chancellor was great for more influence even if she wasn't really needed when the two of them got along. Not all Couslands indeed My lady elves became Teryn though. The elven mistress of the king with land and a title? Scandalous They weren't as secretive as my female noble about the relationship (I mean considering there's rumors in Kirkwall about her XD)

 

When I remade my fem HN and switched her LI to Leliana she ended up very "I'm outta here." I can see her traveling to Seheron with Sten before moving on to see the rest of the world. Just enjoy her life free of darkspawn and political BS if she can avoid it. She knows the darkspawn are always there and they're a threat and that's why she goes back for Awakening but I pretty much picture her telling the wardens to stuff it after that she'll protect her homeland but that's the extent of what she's willing to do for them. That said she's perfectly aware when it's time for her calling she'll find herself in the deeproads. I like to think she and Alistair eventually made up and patched up their friendship (Loghain got feed to archie) and fight in the deeproads together during the end.

Ah yeah, I had to... feed Loghain to old boy arch' too, so both my Warden and Alistair could survive without putting him through that rapey Dark Ritual stuff. It did put a damper on their friendship in the coronation scene so that kinda sucked, but since he didn't break up with her, agreed to maintain their relationship even after his marriage, still called her "my love" in Awakening and kept her on the downlow through DA2, I rather think they sat down and had a good long talk at some point and made peace about it eventually.

[QueenofFereldan]

With this talk on Alistair, I am working on my second PT right now with a female Dwarven Commoner rogue named Serena Brosca, who is romancing Alistair. While she doesn't want to have a man to elevate herself, she is happy with her sister's position and how it brought her happiness (plus Serena ADORES her little nephew!). So, when it comes to the Landsmeet and how much she loves Alistair, she is content with being his mistress. Plus, she can be close to make sure Anora doesn't try anything funny.

Seriously that's my golden ending. Romance Leli (hardened preferably), Harden Alistair and marry him to Anora, recruit and feed Loghain to archie, tell Morrigan to bounce, then depending on character either get Loghain's land and title for the riches (insert trollface here ) or say you'll ask for a favor later and just bounce. Cause my warden was just tired at that point.

 

Wait I thought it auto ended the romance if you did that. He still called you my love in awakening? XD

 

I'd hope so. Loghain wasn't worth losing a friendship over.
 

She was sick of people using her at that point. Flemeth and Morrigan's manipulations were just making her angry. Felt like she was being forced into the middle of something that she really wanted nothing to do with. I had her suck it up in the Alistair romance but ran out of patience for it on replays XD and so did she I think.

 

Edit: Seriously I'd liked the mistress ending so much more without the DR dragging it down. Because Hardened Alistair + Anora is my favorite royalty pair and if I can mix that with the Alistair romance? Yees. Alistair ends up surrounded by beautiful and competent (and deadly) ladies. If only I didn't detest the DR so much

 

Oh well.

I didn't know you could do that, I thought letting Loghain live permanently ended any relationship. Hmmm...

I don't think it's only the race-gated romances that could turn out badly.  At the very least, Iron Bull's romance can probably become a trainwreck of epic proportions due to his odd position in the Qun.  None of the other LIs have obvious conflicts like his, but I'm sure the developers have plenty of creative ways to feed off our tears

I think I might be the only person on the planet that has neither read nor watched any of the Harry Potter series lol I'm a huge reader too but that's not my style of story and I rarely, if atall watch movies, it's been at least 25yrs since I went to a cinema lol I'm one of those people you hate that sits and picks holes in movie plots and such

Spoiler

(Sixth Sense - after about 30mins, I'm like "he's a ghost" Hubby is like "awww ffs ")

. Hubby hates it on the odd occasion if he's watching a film if I go through and sit down, he just sighs and eyerolls and waits for me to start wasting his enjoyment lol I'm kind of evil that way

 

I hate the DR too in DAO but I have it modded it's much easier on the senses for me now, my HN always marries hardened Alistair.

 

I will get as many romance spoilers as possible, I hate nasty surprises, not so fussed about story spoilers either. I find it so hard even although it's an rpg to actually play it as a character, I hear a lot of you talk about what the Inquisitor would know in game and what you the pc knows and that it should be different. I've never been able to seperate the two as I have zero imagination
