Hm, it's not so much a decision, but more additional dialogue, but I'd really like to have the possibility to put Eamon in his place when he starts planning how to get Alistair on the Throne.
I wish I could tell him to shut up about Alistair's duty as Maric's son and his duty to Ferelden and remind him that Alistair has already enough duties as it is, being a Grey Warden. Also, while I'm certainly far from being a fan of Alistair's, I hate how Eamon uses him for his own schemes. He sent him of to the Chantry as a child, because he wasn't able to stand up to his hag of a wife and now when Alistair becomes useful again, he's trying to guilt him into doing something that Alistair was never prepared for.
So, telling Eamon that if he want's to bring down Anora, he'll have to take the crown himself instead of using a manipulable puppet like Alistair is one desicion I miss.
The more I thought about it after my first playthrough, the more it seems that Eamon is really trying to make a power play. He was already trying to get Cailan to dump Anora, so now, I have no problem putting Anora on the throne, especially since I don't tell Eamon that until the Landsmeet.
Plus, it makes sense to me. She's already respected by the people and by foreign nations, and I really feel like she would cause a problem for Alistair if you put him on the throne. Not to mention that he doesn't want to be king, and he loves ME, and I'm a MAGE, so Eamon can shove it!

Then, Kick her in the teeth when she's like - Alistair????? WTF are YOU doing here?
Would love to save Ser Otto - kept having to save & reload to get him to the end alive, then - Pitchfork
Bann Tegan romance would be great. And how awsome would it be if you could persuade Duncan to come back to your room (instead of the pasty red headded guy)
I would also like to clock Morigan in the teeth when she tell Alistair that "he won't dislike this as much as he thinks". They should also have given him a more horrified look of disgust when the ritual was taking place

I would've also loved it if Ser Gilmore heeded my call to try and escape with Eleanor (the best mother ever) and my PC.
I'd also love to be able to tell Tamlen to lay off the mirror, and to get back to camp with my DE.

Heh true, after this interesting letter we find in RtO, Eamon seems even more shifty than before.
I agree 100% with your reasoning on letting Anora keep the throne (apart from the romance, I'll let you have Alistair for yourself

*sniff* Yes, that! It would mess up Duncan's recruitment strategy quite a bit, but who cares about Duncan anyway.

(At least you have the option to let his wife die, stupid cow).
Use the rite of conscription on Jowan. This was originally planned but was cut from the game early on. Pity - I liked Jowan and it would have been cool to have a blood mage.
Tell Wynne to stuff it when she asks a mage Warden to consider taking over the Circle, *after* she's given you all those lectures on what it means to be a Warden.
Actually be able buy nice gifty things from Liselle the Orlesian perfume seller in Denerim.
Another one who wants to save Ser Otto (not that you couldn't see that death coming a mile off...but poor guy. I liked him).
Most of all, though, I'd like more dialogue options where you're not forced down the "Loghain's a traitor, I will have my revenge!" path. The Warden doesn't actually see what happened at Ostagar and only has Morrigan's word for it, yet Alistair jumps straight on the Loghain is evil bandwagon. This, despite him saying you'd missed the signal when you were in the tower.
I know there's pages and pages of pro and anti Loghain sentiment and this is not about that - but I would really have appreciated some more questioning-type dialogue options, ya know "Are you sure Loghain was to blame, Alistair? We did miss the signal after all, and I was stood right there when he told the king not to fight on the front lines." etc.
(I'd quite like an option to shag Loghain as well, but ahem, that's just me... I'm always guaranteed to fancy the one non-romanceable male in any given Bioware game).

While I would probably not have utilised a Loghain "romance" (ah, who am I kidding, of course I would have made a character to try it), I too, would have liked more options both in the Landsmeet and afterwards.
And I feel just like you about unromanceable (is that a word?) characters in Bioware games. I had a crush on Kivan in Baldur's Gate I and being stuck with Anomen in Baldur's Gate II when I only ever wanted Valygar was cruel. (Until the Valygar romance mod came along of course.

You should just be able to let Eamon die. Shurg and look stupid, and Teagan backs you anyway. Or, as was said, tell Eamon to put his money where his mouth is. If he wants a different canditdate for the throne than Anora, step up or GTFO.
Anyway. That's my biggest beef with the game.
The other two glaring things that should clearly be options:
1) Conscripting Jowan
2) Be able to crown yourself as a Dwarven Noble, claiming the Paragon said they wanted you on the throne.

I agree 100% with your reasoning on letting Anora keep the throne (apart from the romance, I'll let you have Alistair for yourself), she has proven that she can do it, Alistair has Grey Warden stuff to do and there's a chance that Eamon might have an apoplexy when he finds out - it's a win-win-situation. I also can't keep myself from making Dalish characters, so my PCs usually don't get the whole Therrin bloodline thing anyway.
I always save Eamon and his family. I would love to be able to fight with him about his shady motivations and Alistair, especially since that is SO my mage character.
*pokes Eamon in chest* I saved your whiny wife, your kid, and you! STFU and show me some respect! No? *winter's grasp* Fine. Stay that way.

This for me was a major plothole. Based on all the bits of lore I picked up, I gathered that Alistair pretty much gave up all claim to the throne just by becoming a Grey Warden. I'd put Anora on the throne for that reason alone in every game - except for that little snippet about the city elves.

Exactly, and since I don't get that option I don't bend over backwards to save his entire family (although I feel pretty bad about killing Connor). I do however get a great satisfaction out of refusing any reward. He is always so thrown off his guard when I tell him that "I don't need a human lord's gratitude" - as if my character would not have his number when he want's to hail my group as champions of Redcliffe, it's nothing else than the Dwarven craftsmen giving extravagant items to nobles, hoping to gain the favour of their house.

Oh and my Dalish wanted to option " I could not care less" when asked who should be king. (Human and Dwarf kings that is)
That's how I play my Dalish.
She's sort of like "...I do not care. At all."
Which is why she picks Behlen. "You'll get me my troops ASAP? Fine. Championing you."

Absolutely!
And when Alistair starts telling me about his heritage upon entering Redcliffe, I'd like to able to say "I don't see how it matters if your father was some king. You're a Grey Warden now. Besides, we Dalish have no kings, so you wouldn't be my king anyway."
(I really like dropping the "We Dalish have no kings" line on Loghain in Ostagar, he's always so annoyed.

Interesting, my Dalish always pick Harrowmont, because he is the conservative choice and my characters wouldn't want to put someone on the throne who brings the Dwarves closer to the shemlen... ah humans.

Yup and yet there's fierce arguing over Alistair having more claim to the throne than Anora over on the Anora misunderstood thread.
There does seem to be some inconsistency in the whole Warden/nobility claim thing, but perhaps it's a case of making exceptions in times of trouble. (Seems daft to me though).
Romance Isolde? Eww!

My Dalish elf ending actually would have made you both pretty happy.
Alistair wasnt hardened so he said screw the throne and I backed his decision, result >> Alistair gets a decently happy ending staying with the Grey Wardens.
I take lands for the Dalish to own, thus giving the elves a place to live besides the alienage, thus when the snippit comes up about the city elves having issues, I thought "Well I gave you a homeland and you stayed in the sewer, you deserved it."
As for Isolde, I'd love to have the option to backhand her as she comes running down the hill, and when Teagan says something respond with "Oh, sorry. Mistook her for more undead, my bad.....screeching banshee."

Well, there is one decision that more or less ruined the mage origin for me. Do I: A) rat Jowan out to the First Enchanter orHelp my 'friend' with his half baked plan which leaves me holding the bag?
I would have liked: C) I can't help you Jowan as I'm leaving for Ostagar to join the Grey Wardens.
It would have kept the Mage Origin short (which is apparently what the writers wanted) and been true to character (which would have kept me happy) as well as setting up the next encounter with the whiny blood mage at Redcliffe.
My character always snitched to Irving, because I think she would be offended that her friend would dare fall in love with someone whose order basically imprisons them. I just can't imagine why you would be happy about a mage fraternizing with a priest. Ugh, makes my character's skin crawl:sick:
