The thing is, Dragon Age was based on A Song of Fire and Ice, not Lord of the Rings, which it actually went out of its way to subvert. and then he dumped her in front of her all of her friends? No happy Lord of the Rings alliance for me. So how ironic was it when she made Alistair king.
In fact, my Dalish mage who romanced Alistair (who is half-elven, lest we forget) was named Arwen. To be honest, I mostly feel this way because I'm a Lord of the Rings fan, and I always loved it that Aragorn, a human (of elven descent), married Arwen, an elven princess.
If Alistair isn't willing to face possible assassination and political intrigue in the name of love, then he isn't worthy of the Warden, dammit. He knows that only a warden can end the Blight, he knows that the wardens need all the recruits they can get, and yet, he's willing to risk the entire world to the coming darkness all for the sake of his hurt feelings. He really comes off like a brat.īy walking out of the landsmeet, Alistair shows that he was willing to toss aside a valuable ally and also doom the entire world for the sake of revenge. I guess it shouldn't be surprising since Alistair exhibits this behavior throughout the game everytime you make a decision that is not idealistic or in line with his naive perspective.
I'd heard about it over the years, but seeing it for myself really made it hit home how much of a child Alistair is and how correct Anora is to call him out on not being mature enough or worthy enough for the throne. And I say the Warden's relationship/friendship with Alistair is "superficial" because Alistair loves the Warden on the condition that they do what he wants at the landsmeet.Įven if you're romancing Alistair, sparing Loghain means he'll throw a huge tantrum and then stomp out. Now that I'm much older and more mature, I know that doing the right thing for Ferelden is more important than holding together my character's superficial relationships.
