Err... It is? PC can stay King Alistair's lover and be a Commander. Or become a Queen (if human) and remain a Commander. Where is the problem? Methinks the "problem" for some Alistair fangirls is that they have to share him with Anora if they play a mage, elf or dwarf, lore be damned. But they don't - female Warden can make Alistair king without him marrying Anora AND become either his wife (human non mage) or his lover (everyone else). I am pretty sure it's one of the official endings. You have to take the right dialog options - as with absolutely everything else - but it's there. Half of my PTs have this ending.

I think what the fangirls bawk against is the term "mistress" in case of Anora marrying Alistair. But even Alistair being a solo king, the idea of being a long term lover with no privileges to marry. I have no objection to either state myself, but it does deviate from our society's portrayal of "proper love"

I have no objection to either state myself, but it does deviate from our society's portrayal of "proper love" Guess, you are right and Jade Dreamer meant "no wedding - no love" The funniest thing here is - if a player keeps Alistair as a Warden (as a reason to be together with PC), they never get that wedding anyway. In DA2 you can see results for all your choices - Anora, Anora+Alistair and PC as a lover, PC as a queen, PC as a lover, A+PC both wardens. In all the cases but the PC is a queen - no wedding, PC remains "love of his life" but not his wife. Sure, there is such a thing as "headcanon", but why not fantasize then that sometime during/after DA2 Alistair-king finally decided to marry PC? Would not make any difference.

second one is so mean. Can't do it. ugh I know, it really can struck you deep into the very core of your soul. i'm not a very sentimental person, but i remember the first time the ending i got, with my main female warden, was the one i'll post below and after that, i took a break and got out to the streets to walk until late night. It's one of the most hard things i ever did in a game to be honest.

Ahhhh... all the DA:O feels are coming back. I'll be honest, I was so bitter when Alistair broke up with my Warden. I was still reeling from having to convince him to have sex with Morrigan, then the game tossed that on me. My Warden understood and sent him off with a sad smile in-game but immediately after I made a male Cousland and I took the throne and Anora for myself and made him a drunk. lol
(Sounds petty but I actually grew quite attached to my Cousland. He was an asshole, but I made him really pragmatic so that I could do all the options I didn't choose in my first playthrough. Somehow his character developed a lot of depth in my head... and I headcanon that Alistair will get out of his drunken rut some day and be the one to put my Cousland down when the Taint is close to taking him.)

I was looking for some Ultimate Sacrifices images in pinterest, and stumbled with this image, that at first looked out of picture but in the same way familiar (don't ask me way), saw that the hashtags said "Dark Ritual" and then i looked at the image, again and again, and regardless of the faces, captures the feelings, emotions, etc etc, of that moment. I think is a nice reference for Alistair lovers.

Re-posting this from the Twitter thread:
Steve Valentine @stevevalentine
So I did a little game called Dragon Age. Helping to voice and create Alistair & I just go to say that the fans of the game are the greatest people. The stories & mods have been incredible during this 'Alistair appreciation week.' You are all inspirational. #weallhavestories

Catilina *falls in love all over again* And this is why I won't let him die. i don't remember exactly this one, but the only options to keep Alistair alive and in romance, basically are, Dark Ritual, or harden him and make him rule with anora to be his mistress and let Loghain redeem himself killing the archdemon. (the last is the one i don't remember correctly, maybe it wasn't possible and the only option is dark ritual) anyway always hard moral and selfish choices hehehe.

Alistair and the crown are expensive. yes, if you want love, pay the price. though i pity female wardens, poor girls have a very few options, well basically only two, and the price is very high, they have to endure a lot, male wardens we are a bit more lucky in that department. xD but yeah, in general terms, we all have to pay high prices one way or another.

Why? Alistair is pretty, even Zevran. He's a bit more problematic, perhaps, but absolutely lovable! The crown's (and Anora's) price is the male Warden's love (if he does not love Anora, only the throne) or –in case of Zevran– possibly similar as Alistair position as King with a non-noble woman, just don't necessary to perform the DR (I did it).

It depends of the lover, but Leliana can stay as mistress if hardened, Morrigan still "loves" you in Witch Hunt, and Zevran stays with you regardless of what. What i meant is male wardens have more options and "way outs" the price to pay depends of how you played your warden. but regarding Alistair romance, that is the main point in this thread, the only two options left are very grim, in general terms of course. But in the end, all varies depending of the person playing it.

You're right, the only option for a continued romance is the dark ritual, because Alistair will break up with a Warden who lets Loghain live. Even if Loghain sacrifices himself, in the end Alistair is still bitter (if he is king and not drunk or dead).

Alistair's voice Actor as Harry Flynn in Uncharted 3. PRetty funny to listen to imagining our beloved Warden. I especially liked, " I got the treasure!" and "I'm unstoppable"
