Okay so I know this may depend on whether or not he's dead, King or exiled and drunk but IF Alistair 

is still a Grey Warden why wouldn't the Inquisition look to recruit him?

 

He's fine with the Chantry's teachings which is important given the Inquisition's close

(albeit declining links with the Chantry). In addition, he's proven himself a effective warrior

for the Wardens and during Dragon Age Origins. Although he'd never admit, Alistair has also 

demonstrated the ability during serious circumstances to act as a decisive and inspiring leader 

especially with that speech before the Battle of Denerim which for me was one (of many) great 

moments in Origins if he was made King. 

 

 

Given the Inquisition involves restoring order, defeating evil, world peace etc. It's a role I'd think Alistair would 

at least consider given his idealistic nature.

Maybe we will be able to, in the form of an agent. If he is a drunk we would find him and turn him around for the better,a gray warden agent would always be handy, and maybe as king he will be inclined to aid us in whatever way possible while still protection his country. Lots of possibilitys

may be its just to inconveniant due to geography and red tape?

[DarkKnightHolmes]

Because his job is to stop the Blight and fight Darkspawn not make peace and fight "evil". Alistair got away with getting into other peoples affair because there was a blight in DAO.

 

He doesn't help you fight the Qunari in DA2 and I doubt the Grey Wardens will allow him to fight with you because you're getting involved in Orlesian and chantry politics.

 

Blackwall is an exception because he believes the Wardens should be involved in politics and peace.

[Decepticon Leader Sully]

yep red tape

While that's true, it didn't stop the Inquisition at the time sending Leliana to track down the Warden to help resolve the Templar-Mage crisis. The same argument you make could be made there and if the Warden was available to join or at least work with the Inquisition is quite plausible she/he would have done so. I'm willing to bet that Alistair would quit being a Grey Warden if it helped save Thedas, he's that kind of character unless I'm mistaken

[Chibi Elemental]

because we already know everything there is to know about alistair as a character where as varric while we know him we don't really know him and his story is not complete, neither is cass

[Battlebloodmage]

Pretty sure Bioware consider him to be king, so most of the scenarios would have him as king rather than a drunk or a warden.

Warden is a legend. He/she is the arl of Amaranthine, conqueror of the Blight, crowned two royalties (Dwarf King and Ferelden throne), stopped a civil war, saved Arl Eamon's life (one of the most popular man in Fereldan) and a potential paragon.

 

He/she is more than a Warden now.

 

By the end of story, Alistair is either the King of Fereldan or remembered as just the sidekick of the Warden character. First scenario means his too busy being royalty to help and the second scenario means his not important enough to be given free will to do what he wants in the Warden ranks.

[Muspade]

Stroud > Loghain Mac Tir > Alistair!King, Alistair!Warden, and Alistair!Drunk all put together tbh.

Fixed.

[Muspade]

Bold. He shows up twice, says a couple of things, and then bounces. That's little to go on.

 

But he has a glorious moustache.

[trying_touch]

Maybe, if he is a Warden, instead of Stroud, you'll be hanging out with him!

You don't need to achieve any of that to leave the Warden's though. Anders left the Wardens because he wanted to. The same with Alistair during the Landsmeet if Loghain survives and Velanna in Dragon Age Awakening to search for her sister depending on your decisions. Neither of these characters are as important as the HOF. If Alistair seriously wanted to leave the Grey Wardens it may be difficult because he doesn't have the fame and power as the HOF as you rightly note but, I wouldn't say it's impossible with the examples put forward earlier. 

 

That said, Ser Jory attempted quiting during the joining and although he wasn't a  Warden that didn't go too well so point well taken hahaha

[BloodKaiden]

Perhaps because he's a useless drunk!!

Anders and Velanna ran away from the Warden because they didn't want to be one anymore. Anders got tired of Darkspawn and Velanna only became one to save her sister.

 

Alistair actually likes being one and wants to stay as one. Loghain living is the only exception where he leaves because Loghain leaving Ostager leads to the death of Duncan and the rest of the order so he considers it an insult. Other than that, I can't think of any reason why he would leave the order he idealizes and loves so much.

Personally I would  love the idea, but Bioware has made it clear IMO that each episode of DA - unlike ME - will have a new main character.

 

I would love to see a DLC or something that deals with Alistair as the King or as a Grey Warden.. what happened to him, how he has grown and matured. I adored his character!

[Gothfather]

Inquisition DID ask Alistair to join but when Alistair heard there was a hole in the sky and demons are pouring out he asked if there was lots of swooping. When he was told yep most likely, he said "err.. sorry have many duties as a warden. Good luck with the swooping, Swooping is bad."

[Andreas Amell]

I'm hoping near the end of the game Bioware will throw us a surprise.

 

When you've resolved the major problems in Ferelden Alistair (king or not) will vow to search for the Grey Warden once and for all. That would be the setting for the next game.

To help the Inquisition close a breach capable of destroying the world? That's quite a compelling to leave the Grey Wardens.  

[We'll bang okay]

that didn't stop garrus and tail in mass effect 3,

The Grey Warden have their own problem going on in DAI and Grey Warden problems are Alistair problems. He doesn't have time to go running around anymore.
