Alistair Thread - Lick a lamppost in winter!

So. My rule through 3 play throughs has been to never kill Alistair.

But on this very thread, I find out romanced Alistair will sacrifice himself.

And I find that so tragically romantic that I want to see it, but it conflicts with my rule.

Is it still killing him if he chooses to do it himself? -meep-

How many ways can he die?

• Execution by Anora
• Ultimate Sacrifice

Oh yes. But there, I definitely have a choice and have not made that choice.

And Anora executes only if Alistair dueled and she is Queen, right?

Does Alistair ever do the US when he's not romanced?

I was trying to come up with a Warden who would do the Ultimate Sacrifice, because even my do gooder signed Alistair up for the DR with nervous trepidation.

Queen Cousland didn't even care what happened to the baby, she wanted to be Queen and nobody was soul kerplouding on her watch.

So, I started formulating, ironically, a Morrigan like murder Warden blood mage who didn't trust Morrigan from the first second. She recognized a kindred selfish spirit. And would suspect the whole thing was a setup to get some sort of power, but that Morrigan wouldn't hold up her end of the deal. Then I asked myself who she would romamce, and I was like, I think Alistair because his do gooder attitude would soften her towards being more noble and saving the world by Ultimate Sacrifice.

Then I learn that romanced Alistair won't let you do it. So then I have this epic to me story arch that breaks my rule about Alistair and I...don't know. Mete knowledge tells me he'll die, so it's the same as choosing him to die.

But apparently you can just not bring him with you to final battle and he won't get the chance?

But then tragic romance drama that will make me cry cry cry will be missed and I do so like being that immersed.

He looks too old for his age... something is wrong with his face. it's like the time I tried to mod Wynne, and she came out looking real creepy...

Guess one could just play with the Keep a bit.  Wonder if you could reflect it even if it happens. Because apparently a Male Warden can talk Alistair into doing the Dark Ritual instead (to stay true to LI). So, I made that world state for a gay dalish elf who romance Zevran and the Warden Alistair I got from that World state said my Warden had done the Dark Ritual even though he hadn't.

I think modding companions (i've modded Morrigan before - she turned out okay...) can be a terrible thing because the modders that mod DAO on Nexus can be... well, not very good. it's wise to take certain mods from that place though; sometimes they can be worth all the hassle. 

This is a Warden Alistair in DAI question:

What does he say about the Warden if he was romanced but she did US? Is there any dialogue at all? I'm on the fence about him being a Warden vs Solo King vs Political marriage Anora King. If he isn't grieving me ten years later in Forever Alone tragedy, then I may as well let him be married and have some happiness. Maybe.

Found this already discussed on BSN prime

Essentially, he'll never mention romancing the dead HOF. Lame.

i killed my Hawke in all my Warden Alistair romance worldstates (i have like three of them... I just love seeing more of Alistair, he's so cute as a warden i just can't help myself!)
