Alistair Thread - Lick a lamppost in winter!

It's kind of a wedding/coronation combined.

I knew about getting them to marry, not about Loghain. I always kill him. But this would be an interesting way to play with Loghain alive and Alistair not a drunk -- because I can't bring myself to do that. Also, don't like letting Loghain live. 

Popping in to say Hi ! Also I can't romance anyone else in DAO except Ali

Hardened Alistair could be reassuring if he didn't complain so much about being king in the graphic novels.

Hell, he even has a Fade dream where the Theirin family is alive and together but Cailan STILL is Maric's successor.

Truth is that softening/hardening are irrelevant. From what I've heard, it only changed recently regarding Leliana, since it is an available choice in DAI's section of the Keep.

Ultimate Sacrifice? With a male warden or at least one that wasn't romancing Alistair, because breaking his heart is bad.

I loved Steve Valentine's voice acting so much that I wanted to hear all of Alistair's lines, so I tried every outcome, including having Alistair executed once. (My advice: YouTube it, don't do it -- it is truly terrible.)

My canon Warden is a pragmatic city elf who convinces the love of her life to impregnate someone else to save his soul. Yeah. Totally worth it in DAI to hear they've been happy together for a decade. (Relevant: I hated Hawke.)

I'm not sure I agree that Cousie Queen outcome is crueler than Warden outcome for Alistair. At least he is (potentially) marrying his true love, who will help him. Also, when hardened he actually feels confident in his ability to become king. (I didn't read the comics, so I'm ignoring them. Also, his line during the Landsmeet where he seems to be wimping out is evidently a bug and should only come up for unhardened Alistair.) On the other hand, asking him to do the DR is pretty selfish of the Warden because she is asking him to agree to 1) participate in blood magic by 2) having sex with a woman he hates and 3) possibly endanger the world in the process, all things which go against everything he believes in. Finally, we know how scarred he was by being a bastard with an absentee father and then the warden asks him to do the exact same thing, which is pretty insensitive in my opinion. He would have been well within his rights to say: "If you love me, how could you ask me to do this?" None of this stopped my Warden, though.

The one thing I wish is that he took more of an interest in Kieran in DAI. I always think of Alistair as yearning for a family, so I wanted him to try to establish a relationship with Kieran. (In my headcanon he gives Kieran some of his warden action figures.)

Alistair tarot card by Swevenfox. They explained the symbolism:

You know what was nice about the Alistair romance compared to the others? It felt more natural and progressed. Even to hold it up against other BW games he was never "OH you gave me a compliment?! LET'S FUCK!" I remember when I first played Mass Effect as FemShep and Kaiden is like "So you were nice to me but I am getting static.." "Kaiden I just want codex entries. I'd rather tango with a Turian."

Edit: hahaha no pun intended! 

You're not alone, you're in the Alistair thread!

A good night kiss:

I know the answer to that as much as I know why you quoted me, which is to say... not at all.

Oh, Alistair... I romanced him with my first warden, and was deeply in love... *sigh*
He got dethroned later by Leliana as my favorite LI from Origins, but I still love him.

Teehee... I had to make a male warden in order to romance someone else.
