Well, the usual first step in gift-giving is to find something the receiver wants. Ideally, something that the gift-giver wouldn't think to acquire for themselves.



In the case of companions, we know what they like. Alistair likes his figurines, as we all know, while for Leliana I'd probably be inclined to get shoes. (Because a shoe collection is a little less weird than a collection of Andrastian iconography.) In Anora's case, one would have to find out what her intersts were - possibly a case of keeping an eye out for something she seems to like but considers too frivolous to buy for herself.



On some of the more lewd suggestions that have been made:



I'd agree with the assessment that Anora probably wouldn't go for post-marital hanky-panky as a stress reliever. One might, however, get away with something a little less overt such as a relaxing massage - which might well lead to something else, but I wouldn't be hanging too many hopes on it doing so.



Regarding the idea of giving Alistair permission to seek an heir elsewhere...this gives me a mental image of hardened Leliana's response to Isabella: "If you're going to do this, I'll have to be there to...keep an eye on you." Since hardened Alistair does seem to be willing to go along with a threesome, it could even be presented as such rather than a calculated attempt to get someone pregnant by Alistair.

Oh, geez.... My PC loves Alistair enough to kill the archdemon herself in case the ritual didn't work, and to want him to have an heir so he can stop worrying, but does she love him that much? I suppose that if she's going to try and get him to do something he really doesn't want to do again, that might be the way to go..... No, y'know what? Alistair just needs to find his brother, that's all there is to it.

This is supposed to be a gift for Al, not you.

[Ponce de Leon]

The entire royal treasury! Nothing better than this.

Secondly, 10 cargo ships filled with cookies, to incapacitate the qunari threat. Why fight while they can eat.

Shoes? A new instrument? Flowers? Scented bath oil? I could give her a large amount of gold and tell her that she's in charge of decorating Virgil's Keep. Maybe stick a life sized statue of Andraste in our bedroom.

Trying to think of a gift for Anora is like trying to come up with something for father's day. What do you get a person who already has everything?

According to Mary, Anora likes practical gifts.

...Which, to go on a tangent, is one of the interesting ramifications of undergoing the Ritual - if Alistair is the king, the kid is technically the heir to Calenhad's line...

A brother would be useful to the succession indeed - if it turns out that Anders is another one of Maric's offshoots, I'll be strongly tempted not to have him undergo the Joining for the sake of the succession. Unless him being a mage means he's already well and truly out.

[Maria Caliban]

I'm sure Maric has half a dozen bastards scattered throughout Ferelden. Once I find the right mods, I'm making a female dalish mage and marrying her to Anora. Alistair should remain a Warden. It's cruel to take that from him.

Why not a female dwarven mage commoner?

[Maria Caliban]

Because I'm not interested in playing one of those.

If he's not romanced and it's purely political, that says some really creepy things about the way you view Alistair . . .  Though he DOES watch the kisses a lot at camp.

Edit: And Alistair only seems to think it's a good idea if he's not in a romance.  Suggest it at 100 (Love) and you end up with a very PO'ed betrothed!

I'd give Anora gift coupons for weekly full brazilians for a year. It's practical (incraeses the chances of producing progeny, however indirectly) and it would be from the heart.

:innocent:

Hey it worked with the Romans against Gaul but it was wine instead of cookies.  Maybe if you spike the cookies with some sort of sleeping agent... ... I can see that as the next lure or trap... glamorous sleeping cookies... someone get me Bioware's #

Why TY syl. I always look forward to my regular's responses.  I get really bored at work till i log on the forums. I try to bring threads that are fun, thought provoking, opinionated, and most important something free associationy. that way u can get into ppl's heads much easier hehe

[CalJones]

Hmm, I've never married Alistair. My wedding gift to him, were he to marry Anora, would be a  two week fishing trip with his new father in law, so they could bond.

For Anora, my HN would be doing his damnedest to give her an heir. To speed things along, some naughty knickers and a large box of very expensive chocolates wouldn't go amiss. No woman can resist chocolate, it's a known fact.

A gift from my heart to Anora....One visit from the Antivan Crows.



Certainly expresses my feelings far more truthfully than a Hallmark card.



Oh c'mon, like the rest of you think she *isnt* going to be a phenominal PITA down the road, just save yourself the trouble and off her sorry arse now.
