Did anyone have Anora as ruler instead of Alistair?

@herkles: I did - the Cousland line will continue through the son/daughter I had with Morrigan if Anora can't give me a child.  Anora will obey, or my Warden will kill her.  She isn't a Therin and has no legitimate claim to the throne... and since I maneuvered Alistair into killing her father, I don't have to deal with that a-hole.  

 

Then I'll start bringing in the scummiest, least loyal Wardens I can muster who want to get away from the Wardens as a faction - along with a personally funded military and begin invasion plans of Orlais while the Breach is going on.  

 

My Warden will then begin buying copious amounts of lyrium out from under the Chantry - tell the Ferelden mages to choose to get back into their Circle - and I'll make with the lyrium for their loyalty. This will also begin a new age of trade with Orzammar - and I'll even suggest to Bhelen that he should start securing surface portions of the Frostback.  The dwarves are no good dying off - if we loose what's left of the Deep Roads the surface is next. I will, however, offer him this on account that he uses the Anvil of the Void I gave him to make both human and dwarven golems... which I will purchase to assist in my conflict with Orlais.  

 

Oh right.. this thead is about Anora.  Well - I'll fund midwives and mages to assist in making the wench fertile.  Avernus will begin studying fertility treatments for Wardens (if Morrigan can get around it - so can Avernus).

truth is we don't know if Anora is infertile, it could also be Calien who was infertile.

You know, I couldn't stand Anora, at all. I had her marry Alistair in my canon, because it's what my warden would have done, while remaining Alistair's mistress. So I'm interested to see how that triangle plays out

It could also be poor luck. It isn't as easy as most people think to get knocked up. At any given time a woman only has a 20-30% chance of becoming pregnant. So they could just be some lucky SOBs or Calian isn't having sex with her.

Oh, no, I'm definitely amongst the Anora Supporters here.

 

My Cousland didn't romance anyone, and he married Anora.

Alistair was set to be executed, but I spared his life to become the hilarious drunk.

Loghain joined the wardens. And was then persuaded to sire an Old Gold Baby with Morrigan so everyone survived.

 

So, I have an Old God Half-Brother-In-Law. Anyone else?

We never found out if Cailan had any bastards though, did we? It's been awhile since I've delved into that section of the lore, but for all we know he could have been the infertile one and the blame - as was typical in medieval settings - got passed onto Anora instead. Or, as you said, he simply wasn't having sex with her. I really don't know, frankly I wouldn't be surprised if it was Cailan, but then again there is no one in the entirety of Origins that I hated more than him. Perhaps Eamon, but that took several playthroughs.

Considering everything that went horribly wrong in the fifth blight under her watch after Cailan's death, I had no confidence in Anora as a solo ruler.

 

So she's typically ruling jointly with Alistair or King Cousland.

How was everything gone wrong under her rule? There were a lot of internal conflicts going on with the warden and it was Loghain who was responsible for all the bad stuffs that happened to the elves due to his "The end justify the mean" method. She was a damn fine leader after the war, and her wanting to rule and knowledge of the throne prevents people from controlling or taking advantage of her.

Sure do, I felt she was the far superior choice for Fereldens future prospects. It also helped that my Warden got to marry her and become Prince-Consort =)  but were the option not there I would still have made her Queen.

I often have her rule with Alistair because I think that's best for the kingdom. Sometimes I let Alistair be happy and have him be a Warden, but since Anora doesn't do much for the city elves I admit I always feel guilty doing that... 

 

I don't think I've ever made Alistair solo ruler though except once by accident, and only once made him co-rule with the Warden.

I have been struggling to decide my canon playthrough. I have both Anora as the sole ruler and also Alistair as king and warden Amell as his mistress. But I guess I'll play DAI with the latter world state first as I want to hear Varric talking about his adventure with king Alistair.

I've got 5 playthroughs ready for DAI. Anora is queen in 3 of them, but only alone in one. She's married to either my Cousland or Alistair in the other two. Then Alistair is either married to her or my other Cousland in two of his endings and rules alone in the last. It's a pretty good spread amongst all the options, in my opinion.

My Mabari is the sole ruler. 

He  is  clever enough  to speak and wise enough not to.

I do have Anora ruling Ferelden alone in 1 out of 5 playthroughs. Alistair stayed with the Wardens. Things went smooth.

I think the reason her single ruling being unpopular on BSN is because it happens quite naturally when the Warden lets everyone do their own stuffs and takes no risk. And taking no risk generally means "less epic"  :whistle: 

 

When you are a female Cousland you are highly favored to marry Alistair and rule with him. When you are a male Cousland you are also tempted to marry Anora. When playing as others, persuading Alistair to marry Anora is just~~rewarding in seeing both their reactions to the absurd situation. You see, all the things above have some sort of easy epicness coming in, while Anora's lone rulership has less.

 

Anora ruling alone is a good idea, when you think about it. Might be even better than she being with Alistar. Alistar as a King goes on playing around distracts Ferelden from its ultimate aim of sacking the Orlesian Emp~I mean, standing proud as an independent nation. Many assume Anora x Alistair is without doubts better than just Anora. The truth is it only stands when Alistair is hardened, willing to take the throne himself and not needing persuaded by the Warden. Anora does have things planned out when it comes to ruling. Letting her do what she has always wanted to do is not a bad thing. I do hope this option receives a slice of, if not some, positive results in Inquisition

I have but dual rule seems best option. Alistair wins hearts and minds and Anora to navigate politics.

Alistair is never the ruler in my playthroughs, either my Warden marries Anora and rules Ferelden beside her, or has her rule alone, while Alistair is executed in either case.

Um.... I think in one playthrough she does, and thats because my noble married her but left with Morrigan in the Eluvian. Otherwise I think I may have 2 were she rules jointly with Alistair, everyone other playthrough Ali is king, haha.

My Cousland marries her and becomes king.  I might have one or two of her ruling alone, ones where I had Loghain and Alistair kill themselves against the Archdemon, so she was really the only option.  I won't let Alistair throw a childish fit when I recruit Loghain and allow him to become King, allowing an entitled child the throne is just problems.

 

But alas all those saves are made irrelevant with the Keep, depending on how it plays out in Inquisition is who I'll have rule Ferelden.  If Alistair is more entertaining as a drunk or a Warden, he will never be King.

At least twice.  One in my King Cousland run and another so my FemWarden can still be with Alistair as Grey Wardens

I wouldn't trust a whiney drunk with the throne, so, yes.

I have Anora as sole ruler, mainly because my PC would not put a warden on the throne. It is bad for the order, which needs to be neutral.

And no, no one leaves the wardens. Except Fiona, but she cheated.

After reading stolen throne, I couldn't not put alistair on the throne, and because anora is extremely annoying, I just had alistair on his own. However I am really tempted to have Alastair and anora so I can keep loghain alive

In my canon playthorough my City Elf was friendly with Alistair but we weren't best buds. I thought he was a good man (for a human) and Anora was an unpleasant woman. I went down the marriage route with those two because I thought Alistair could soften her up some, however despite my assurances the Landsmeet did not go as expected and my marriage plan fell through. I went with Alistair because I knew he wouldn't screw the Elves over.

He died and Anora became queen anyway, but as Lel, Zevran And I went off to have Rogue adventures and threesomes in the woods, I didn't much care.

Actually my Warden is King.  Anora is Queen of Ferelden

 

Alistair is either a drunk bum in some god forsaken rathole or who knows, maybe he's made something of himself.  None of my affair

She rules alone in all my playthroughs. Always killed Alistair and made Loghain a GW.
