He doesn't even have the right hair colour. Or face. Or anything. And why he is in his King Alistair outfit when his Warden role is far more important?
Don't question royalty!

He's so happy in that scene. And then he's not. You know how Wilson from House tells Dr. House that he's convinced himself he can't be happy? HEY SOLAS DOES THAT SOUND FAMILIAR AT ALL
In non-DA news, I just started up Pillars of Eternity. And ran straight into Aloth:
Well hello, cute elven wizard. I'm Sable. This is my PC, Elaria. Here's her heart and a knife, please to be getting on with the painful feels.
I started last night...mostly fell in love with my chanters chant song names. Also we came up with a Stevhen for PoE. Her name is Kathy. She just a regular joe laborer. How she got in this mess she'll never know, but she's always willing to turn lemons into lemonade and tries to make the best out of any situation! Much like the time she had to plan her sister's bridal shower on a shoe string budge and 2 weeks notice...LOL! GO KATHY!

I guess it's because King Alistair is what's in Bioware's canon? Like in the comics and the default state if you didn't import? Also, I believe lots of people chose to make Alistair king in their games. ![]()
Though I admit, I myself would prefer a Warden Alistair figurine, since that's what he is in my games. Maybe either in his splintmail armor or his Grey Warden armor.
Yeah, it doesn't.
I still want it though. It's not everyday we get to have nice-looking Dragon Age figurines. (Mass Effect gets plenty...)
EDIT: TOP SOLAAAAS!!! (again?!)
Hmm, I can't find anything at the moment. Have this instead. xD
Omg yay my tumblr post XD
Oh god, I love how proud he looks when Lavellan tells him to take her vallaslin.
Ugh, yes.
If only he had stayed......
I need to write down my headcanon of my Lavellan returning to her clan unmarked. The trip she didn't expect to be taking alone.

Someone needs to actually make Stevhen! You could even put his portraits in the game. Do one of those iron-man/insanity runs and see how far he gets until he's murdered.
There was a pretty funny thread on reddit acting as a memorial to all the characters who die under that version of the game.
Don't question royalty!
Always question royalty! Ask important question like 'would you like sugar in your tea?' or 'mind if I take the last piece of cheese, your royal Alistairness?'

The face looks like Charming from Once Upon a Time.
Also, this picture is creepy:

Is it weird that I want to protect him with all that I am? I would be SO SAD. TOO SAD. But this is a good idea. when i figure out my stream going, i'll play as stevhen. stevhen would totally play these RPG's too.
Alistair: These are my favourite peices in my hand collection
He IS looking down so lovingly at them.
He IS looking down so lovingly at them.
All this time I was thinking that Alistair was the most normal of my BW LIs (Princess Stabbity hears the Maker talking to her, Broody Elf has issues, Lavellan would need an immortal lifetime just to hear all of Solas' screwups and Liara goes from 'sweet archaelogist' to 'I will flay you alive with my brain' in an alarmingly short time). Turns out he's a serial killing hand collector. It's always the one you least suspect.
He IS looking down so lovingly at them.
So he likes to be a handful. One cool fetish, if you ask me. Nothing surprises me anymore, I guess.
So guys, this is a bit off-topic but have you seen this?
Spoiler
"The 1/6th scale collectible figure line based on characters from BioWare’s celebrated Dragon Age universe will launch this month."
Does it mean we have more coming?
On-topic: If they ever come out with a Solas figurine, I am soooooooo getting it!
Oh dear god, I can already hear my credit card weeping. If they release a Zevran, Fenris, or Solas, I'm doomed. If they release two out of three, or all three? Then I'm super doomed. At least, if they look even half-way accurate which... that Alistair is a bit... eh. Maybe it's because they darkened his hair and removed his face scruff, IDK. It's been so long since I've drawn Alistair I barely remember his bone structure.
(Zevran and Fenris didn't have on-screen DAI cameos, of course, but if they dip into the other games... though knowing their track record for Zev, they'll release multiple versions of Alistair, a few versions of Leliana and Morrigan, and no Zevran. Seems to be their trend with the original LIs. :[ *bitter grumping*)

GO KATHY! Defy Obsidian's dark, complicated writing! ![]()
I'm back to playing morally grey for PoE, because Obsidian always does a fantastic job of moral choice, and letting you do some really twisted things. Elaria's a fire godlike. Not necessarily a BAD person, but pretty self-centered and prone to snap judgments.

I made a Moon Godlike because PRETTY. I didn't get very far with her yet. Not sure if I'm feeling her. But I think I just want to make Kathy. The human warrior laborer. And not really warrior - just really don't know what else to do but swing that sword!
Solas as a Cormorant 2k15. I have also considered an albatross.
Kestrel how do you pronounce Maiwe's name? Really enjoying your story's progression so far.

There, there. ![]()
Though I did find it odd that they released Alistair, for their DA:I collectible figurine line. I mean, I get that he's popular in the DA fandom (and he is one of my favorites) and would generate more sales but wouldn't it make sense to release an actual DA:I companion? Like Cassandra or Varric (and Solas *cough*)?
Oh well.
<--- EDIT: Also, my 1100th post yay! xD

I think I've only played one Obsidian game (KOTOR 2), and pretty much hated it, in part because the game felt like it was pushing one into that morally gray/terrible direction and that's not how I play.

Dude! We keep bumping into each other today... How is PoE... I ordered it yesterday. Hoping to take it away with me on hols to play on my laptop.
Under spoiler for size.

SpoilerThese reviews though.....I am contemplating PoE, eventually.
LOL, I loved Kreia, and KOTOR 2. But it's definitely not for everyone. It takes the Star Wars universe's simplistic light/dark morality, turns it inside out, then takes it to its horrific logical conclusion. Pretty much impossible to come out of that one unscathed.
So far PoE's been a lot less twisted. But I'm also not very far into the game yet, and knowing Obsidian and Chris Avellone, it's gonna get twisted sooner or later.
