If you are King, you are a figurehead, albeit a powerful one.  Still, Anora is the real power. Like King Calin (sp) I don't see any problem w/ the Prince Consort going out and doing battle. If you are the Queen, you are still a figurehead. However if you stay behind to advise Alister you are the power behind the throne.  Taking the Princess Consort away from the throne could either turn Fereldon upsidedown politically or force Alister into becoming a better king on his own.  I doubt it will really play any real importance in the game, but it is fun to speculate.

You could not be more incorrect.

So if you married either Anora or Alistair how will people react to you in the expansion since you are technically King/Queen. Do you get any measure of power or are you just the same as before.

You're not king. You're prince-consort.

And we do not know Anora's mother: perhaps she has a royal ties

She was a cabinetmaker’s daughter. Anora is not noble-blooded at all.

Seriously unrealistic. They do not mention the form of Monarchism that is recognized in Ferelden. So I assume it is the Fairy Tale Monarchy.

Hardly unrealistic. Cailan dies with no heirs, no known siblings, and no blood relations at all. The only other person who’s even close to the throne is Eamon, Cailan’s uncle, whose relation to the is also due to marriage as he’s Rowan’s brother. Who else is there?

This information about Anora's mother is from?

Loghain himself? I believe, he says so if you spare him and talk to him in camp - so I was told some days ago when I asked about Anora's mother.

Edit: Or was it about him being a farmer and the fact is from the books? Maybe I shouldn't have said anything, I'm no help here.

Wait... you can marry Allistair? WTF? I... I played all through the game with using an elf and I never got that option.... WHY? I'll have to do another playthrough......

Why do you think all of us ladies (and some men I guess) are so insistent on having our story-lines carry over in Awakening? Oh, before you start a new game: you must be a HNF to be able to marry Alistair and become his Queen.

You have to be a human female noble to marry Alistair and a human male noble to marry Anora, hence the context of this entire discussion. I think everyone is interested in their relevant character's decision to go this route have some sort of impact or signs of it, even if not much.



I know I personally would like a chance to have more discussions with Anora. All significant characters in Dragon Age are not one dimensional and have depth and it'd be interesting to find that in her (whether you like her or hate her).

Exactly to the first, and as far as the second, I just recently got into a convo with Anora, usually I would just tell her to ****** off. But it is kind of interesting to talk to her, expecially if you are a human female noble in a romance with Alistair and have refused to support her.

Aaww, do you want to marry him too? Alistair is just too adorable, isn't he?

The dwarves did not maintain a lineage, though. Theirs was more of a "president for life" system.

One thing people are forgetting is the way things play out over time. Would Anora remain the true power? I don't think so. How could she, the daughter of a farmer and traitor to the former, bloodlined king, remain the sweetheart of the people once the Hero of Ferelden takes his position?

Anora is a good talker, but when you read the postlude of all the things she does, there are ample opportunities for the Hero, who is, as Bratt stated, truly next in line for the throne after Alistair, to take front and center.

The fact that she betrays the party twice in some instances clearly demonstrates that she is duplicitous, though, and that the "king-consort", who has more claim to the throne if taken and held by right of might, had better take his time in establishing his power base or forever be fearing the poisoned cup or the shadow that moves the wrong way.

Then again, if played correctly, the new King of Ferelden may have his very own assassins' guild at his disposal.

There's queens regnant and queens consort, but there's no such thing as a king consort.

The husband of a reigning queen is a prince.

Actually, this is not always the case. When Mary I Queen of Scots married her 1st husband Francis (Francis II of France) , he indeed assumed the title of King-consort of Scots, she became Queen-consort of France.

the game ends at the end ..you see some messages about what happened.

[CommanderSheperd]

i think u shud have some measure of power because u give up other romance options if u choose to marry anora

[shedevil3001]

i'm not sure about power it tends to corrupt but the marriage shouldn't be chucked to one side like it never happened otherwise it ruins the whole experience of playing the dao game

[CommanderSheperd]

well yeah but, u can"t get with morrigan or leliana if u marry anora, so u kinda miss out i guess

[shedevil3001]

lucky for some us women had zevran or alistair as a choice or be gay and have lelianna erghhhhh we were cheated out of hot men that we should of been able to romance like bann teagan or ser gilmore

[CommanderSheperd]

haha, well i don't wanta be gay with zevran, honestly i didnt find leliana attractive or morrigan, only anora

[ObserverStatus]

Seems like Alistair would be easy to control. The aforementioned HNF would be the de facto ruler of Ferelden. Anora... not so much.

[shedevil3001]

yeah i didnt find zevran or lelianna attractive just alistair though it had more to do with his personality i found him to be a good man and he wanted to save everyone always trying to do the right thing thats what got me into the game so much was my companions and my warden the storyline was fantastic, i could play it over and over and never get bored

Completely agreed. Plus, HNF and Alistair, as far as I can tell have the stonger rule as far as claim goes. Teyrn of Highever, from what I could tell was more established nobility than the Mac Tir line (at some point I saw 2nd to the throne), plus now the Therin blood tie. As for the not being able to have kids thing, yeah he knew. Two of your conversation options after landsmeet "well it won't be for lack of trying!" (my favorite) or "it's also not needed" hint that it won't matter, that it's just an old fashioned ideal. Honestly, he can assign an heir if need be. Or, go find Morrigan...

[shedevil3001]

bear in mind he says its unheard of 2 wardens having a child not that it wasnt possible so i dunno maybe bioware could do something like 2 wardens having a unique child with side effects to the taint, trying to learn about it to see if they would have to kill their child that could be an intresting story instead of darkspawn and blights all the time but thats just what i think hmmmmm

[Tear_Coast]

well some ideas are going around here

[shedevil3001]

i got loads of ideas if i knew how to make mods i would put some ideas to good use but alas i'm not very good with modding :{

Very true, and how much did he really pay attention to when anyone had their kids? He was raised in a chantry, trained as a templar, AND was a virgin, so it stands to reason he didn't pay enough attention beyond what he'd noticed offhand in the 6 months he'd been a warden.  Really not impossible to imaging that taking into account he didn't know how to do the joining, or how to kill the archdemon, that he wouldn't know for fact children were impossible.

Maybe having a child would be possible, and they'd raise a new stronger generation of gray wardens that are born with the taint, but stronger because of it.

Or maybe having a child erases the wardens taint that conceived it, giving them either a healthy child and longer lifespan, or producing an evil demon baby without morrigan...lol

[shedevil3001]

true or it could have powers as well as split personality a dark side and a good side theres so many ways it could go with that i should take notes and start writing them down just incase i ever figure out how to use the toolset :}
