Honestly if Anora really cared about her people, she would notice what her father was doing to the country and try to stop him or something like that. But instead she just sat back and let daddy in control of her kingdom

[@Bubbles99718]

They're all scum. Like the trump family

[@3adgamd3r]

That’s because actually running a kingdom is actually a lot of work, and from everyone else’s perspective Loghain was a war hero who barely made it out of Ostegar with his mens lives So whilst Anora ran around putting out political fires that were lit when so many Nobels died at Ostegar, he was in charge of military matters

[@Leonnie13]

They went into a civil war! Anora is partly responsible for that as the sovereign. If she let her father take control she was hardly the expert ruler she thought she was.

[@3adgamd3r]

@@Leonnie13 she wouldn’t have had a choice, her father was seen as a War Hero and genius military commander, whereas she was just the Queen Regent, she didn’t have any blood claim to the throne and after the Blight there would’ve been a whole process to selecting a new Royal Family Whether or not she remained Queen after the Blight would really depend on how she managed the Nobles during the blight, and appeasing them by putting her well respected genius war hero father in charge would be one way to begin securing the future of her family as the new Royal family

[@Leonnie13]

@@3adgamd3r She appeared to be doing NOTHING for the whole year the Warden was running around trying to gather allies and solving the problems that Loghain was creating. Alistair, being part of that effort was better suited to lead, especially if hardened. To me, Anora appeared to be self-serving and only after power. Name one thing she did prior to being “captured” by her father’s ally to prepare her people for a Blight. Even her dialogue about Howe, which was one minute, “my Father is in his thrall”, and another minute, “Howe is a lackey” was inconsistent and suspect. She sided with the Warden because she is not stupid. She knew which direction the wind was blowing. Additionally, a lot of plots went forward against Cailan and those loyal to him prior to the events at Ostagar. It is plausible that Anora knew some of them. My Cousland came to the conclusion that Howe would never have attacked Highever unless he was sure of support. Namely, Loghain. Anora also greatly mishandled the Alienage before and after the events of the Blight.

[@irisravenhild9060]

Anora(after being chosen Queen): Kill Alistair! Alistair(soft/hard) (after being chosen King): Lock her in the tower for now, we'll see after The Bligth. Anora: What? My Cousland(female): This is why I choose him. Your too Orlesian for my taste.

[@thenethralking6032]

Ironic considering her father nearly sacrificed all of Fereldin to the darkspawn just cuz he’s bitter towards Orlais.

[@3adgamd3r]

@@thenethralking6032 I mean, he was kinda justified, Orlais DID occupy Fereldon and implemented a brutal regime And Cailin was planning on cheating on Anora with Celene, the Empress of Orlais (if you take Loghain to Ostegar in the DLC he’ll comment as such when finding the letters) Cailin was a fool, and Loghain was right to pull his troops from the field because he’s right, they would’ve been slaughtered by the Darkspawn, however by making the tactically correct decision to save as many lives as possible, he committed treason, and then tried to cover it up, which is ultimately what got him into trouble at the end

[@thenethralking6032]

@@3adgamd3r true I don’t blame Loghain for his bitterness towards Orlais and I see his treachery at Ostegar as a more grey situation given what was happening around it. But all that said, Loghain lost any support he might have had from me the moment he started seizing control of the throne, brought civil war against his own nation in the midst of a darkspawn invasion, and even went so far as to sell elves, his country’s own citizens, into slavery and his reasons to justify it are totally hypocritical. Loghain: Fuck Orlais! They made me a slave in my own home land! Lemme protect it by selling my own people into slavery. I agree Orlais is shit and undeserving of trust. But be that as it may, in the war against the darkspawn who want to eradicate all life, you can’t afford to be choosy. Better dealing with the threat of Orlais than the Blight. At least with Orlais you’ll likely still have a land to fight for. And no I do not care that Loghain disregarded the darkspawn threat as “no true Blight” just because there wasn’t any Archdemon sighted or “Cailin’s vanity demanding it be so”. Blight or no, historical precedents point to darkspawn marching on the surface as ALWAYS a bad sign to be taken with upmost seriousness. If anything, darkspawn attacking the surface in such a large horde without an archdemon leading them is just as bad as if it were a Blight because that would indicate darkspawn are likely to start attacking the surface much like how they attack Orzammar

[@3adgamd3r]

@@thenethralking6032 that’s true, what I mean is I think after the initial attempt at a cover up he began to spiral, needing more and more money to continue the war meant he simply took it as a national expense, however he was ultimately stealing it As for the elves, well it’s pretty clear that they get shafted simply because nobody cares that it happens, the level of racism the elves go through in Ferelden is pretty nuts, the city elf prologue has many examples of it, so when it came to choosing between financing the war and some second class citizens the majority of common humans won’t miss, the dark but logical choice is clear Everything he did was evil, but I like how BioWare made sure to make all of his actions make logical sense if you think about it like how someone who’d spent his whole life at war would think about it He was used to sending people to their deaths, and so when he got power over the people, sending them into slavery didn’t bother him He became a massive hypocrite

+William Haskins If he has been hardened, you can persuade him to keep you as his mistress. But honestly, you can't expect a king to marry anyone other than a noble.

[@angeliquetheirin2588]

You can, after all is said and done you're the Hero of Fereldan. You have a title enough to warrant being a noble which technically in a real world scenario (yes yes it's not the real world) would be enough to allow you to marry a King. Just look at the European monarchy they married anyone with a title whether they owned lands or not, the title was what was important.

[@rivenoak]

Well, Anora did not have any claim; she was just the queen to the former king. Dowager queen then, if you like that term, but never destined to rule in her own right. And btw: wasnt she never able to produce offspring ? no heirs means her line would end anyway.

[@marcuskurze9759]

I dont know there are ways to prevent pregnancy even in medieeval ways so I am not shure About this.Maybe Anora is infertile and in this case it would be a reason to annull the marriage.After all ist the Duty of a queen to give birth to an heir.I dont know which english king but there was one who even killed one of his wifes becouse of that.

[@aloonavideoandgames]

The thing that bores me is: if you're not noble, Alistair bumps you because "he will be asked to have a heir for the throne and we both have corruption inside"... but if you make Anora queen, at the end they tell she never merry again because of his father's memory. So, FUCK OFF, It's the same!

[@Robert399]

Well frankly neither of them has any claim (EDIT: *unacknowledged* bastards have no inheritance rights either). It's basically a situation where whoever has the most support will take over (and probably invent some claim as the descendant of some king 200 years ago). Essentially, it comes down to whether more of the lords support Loghain or Eamon. Plus Grey Wardens are infertile so there'll be no heir regardless of who rules. P.S. Somehow a male PC is able to impregnate Morrigan without doing the ritual. I don't know if that's an oversight or if he's supposed to be an exception.

[@dropdeadcynical4646]

Robert R Morrigan tells you if you haven’t been a Grey Warden long it is possible. Otherwise they are infertile.

[@wheelyjon]

[@marcuskurze9759]

Actually the first time my Character became Queen wasnt planned.I made the deal with Anora because my first playthrough was with a male noble and I did it before.But I must have said something that she didnt liked so she stabbed me in the back in the Landsmeet.I won anyway and after seeing that there is an Option to rule by his side I did it.And btw.I was really pissed when she talked about the plan of ruling together with Alistair after Loghain was killed and Alistair didnt agreed immediatly to become king.

[@Hawaiian_Pizza_Enjoyer]

Looking back at it, I think I would feel more comfortable if the Landsmeet came to a conclusion themselves regarding who should be the ruler. Saying that Anora isn’t the appropriate person to mediate this situation is correct, but neither is the Warden, since we are close confidants of Alistair. They should’ve voted, similar to how they support either you or Loghain based on your decisions and dialogue options.

[@CDBookManGaming]

Yeah, Anora would have made more sense than a guy who had an illegitimate claim to the throne he didn't want anyway. If they made Alistair less a goof and more a regal type, this probably wouldn't have been hard to accept.

[@Hawaiian_Pizza_Enjoyer]

@@CDBookManGaming Well his claim to the throne is legit. He is Maric’s son and thus of Theirin blood after all. And while blood doesn’t automatically make you a good king, I do think it is important to have tradition on your side in some way. Anora is also a smart politician and diplomat but lacks the “earthy” touch of Alistair who knows what it means to not be part of nobility. I think them ruling together (with him being hardened) is the best and most stable outcome. The only thing that bugs me with this is that I can’t allow him to fight Loghain.

[@victoriasharpe1661]

Lol I love the whole ‘won’t be with lack of trying’ line and alistair is all like wow 😅 I’ve never made alistair king without hardening him. So question is: is the epilogue any different with him being unhardened?

If he's not hardened, he would not accept the mantle of king. He'll skip out and Anora would be crowned queen.

[@CDBookManGaming]

gracieannpinker1492 According to the DA lore, pretty much everyone of power knows that it could be fatal. Not many know about the Gray Wardens specifically, but personally, people have learned that the order can be fatal during its joining.

[@benjigoulbourne]

+CDBookManGaming but in DA:A nathaniel howe said that the howes didn't know about the fatality of warden joining. this was said in a conversation about his grandfather if i recall correctly (or maybe his uncle). and because of this, nathaniel (and rendon howe) resent his grandfather because he never send any word to his family after joining the warden, without knowing the truth that his grandfather had died in the joining. considering that howe is one of the powerful family in ferelden, arl of amaranthine, and an older family even to the cousland. if the lore is correct, they should've known about this.

[@ladydominion8632]

gracieannpinker1492 ok it's grey not gray

[@marcuskurze9759]

I would guess that she just thinks logical.Its obvious that not all recruits come back as Wardens so Maybe she combined that what ever it Needs to become a Warden it can be fatal.

[@thenethralking6032]

Benji Ramadhan I’m willing to gamble that either it was simply Rendon Howe lying to Nathaniel and the others in order to paint the uncle in a negative light. Perhaps Howe did get a notice from the Wardens and he just cast it aside. Rendon was, after all, a lying, vile snake of a man. Would he really be above saying such things to his kids in order to make a member of the family look bad? It’s also possible that you don’t know just because you’re of nobility. It’s likely that being a noble makes it easier for you find out since that status gives you easier access to things in the world. It’s possible Anora took the time to look into Grey Wardens since her former husband loved them so much and found a pattern of recruits perishing at the joining.

oh man now i need restart her, thx

[@vquaneyful]

I know this is late, but actually if you're in a romance with Alistair *and* you're a female human noble (Cousland, not a mage), you don't have to harden him. That's what I did because hardened!Alistair is a little bit of a dick. If he's in love with you (and you've taken him into your tent) he'll still be relieved he doesn't have to ask you to marry him, but if you respond to the heir comments with, "It won't be for lack of trying!" then instead of being awkward he says something like, "Good thing we got started early, then!" If you're *not* in a romance with Alistair as a female human noble, then you do have to harden him, since non-hardened!Alistair won't just marry you for political reasons since he's a gooey romantic.

You get gwaren if you ask for a title and riches i believe your brother gets his back anyway and wardens get amaranthine

[@samisa6337]

Thank you cdbookmangaming. I do need your advice on armor heavy armor and massavice armor. I have the warden commander armor and the armor of Diligence. But i cant decide on witch armor is better heavy or massivie armor. Witch would be better to save when i fall. Or would matter. one of them is made out of sliverright armor and dragonbone armor. Ik its a werid quistion. But im confusied right now. Let me know i hope to hear from you soon. Also you are best guide on youtube. For answers. Thank you alot.

[@CDBookManGaming]

Thanks Sam. Only problem is I haven't played this game in years. Dragonbone Armor worked for me because of the fire resistance. That's all I can tell you.

[@CaitlinSk]

So question- Does Loghain have to die for you to become Queen?

[@CaitlinSk]

And are you human in this? Bc I'm currently playing an elf

[@CDBookManGaming]

Yes and yes. Alistair has to kill Loghain so he can extract his revenge and the main character has to be a human noble, not a mage or non-human.

[@CaitlinSk]

Thank you for the reply! Goodness I'll have to start a new one as a human noble. I've got 2 going 1 as a city elf and one as a Dalish

[@CDBookManGaming]

No problem. I tried to have a mage go through with it, but he backed out. I thought about how scandalous it would have been: Mage Queen. It seemed too scandalous for the designers as well.

[@CaitlinSk]

Yeah...so I tried that with my city elf. He said "Err I don't think that would work"...bunch of racist prigs lol

[@linkholder]

Alistair is the FUCKING BEST CHARACTER EVER!

[@plan_r4005]

Married to Allister, a fate worse than death

[@nightingaledruid]

Can you still marry "Unhardened" Alistair? My warden is a human noble and not a mage, my romance with Alistair is maxed and love. already triggered his personal event with his sister. Can you still persuade him to rule and my warden become a queen ?

[@11damkina11]

I could never do this, it feels selfish and I feel like I am using Alistair

[@seanchamberlain6855]

how do you survive the final battle if you impregnate Morrigan?

[@CDBookManGaming]

If anyone impregnates Morrigan, her baby will house the soul and everyone survives.

is the Count Goldana's father? If Fiona was Alistair's mom and Maric was his dad....was the Count/Comte G's dad? And why would Fiona leave G?

[@CDBookManGaming]

I believe Goldana and Alistair came from the same mother only, so she wasn't of noble birth. That was why she was left aside.

[@teach6882]

@@CDBookManGaming the thing is that alistair was presented as the child of g´s mother. but there is no indication that fiona is g´s mother. i assume that alistair and g are not related and they just think they are

[@MoonsongReverb]

Well, honestly that’s not what Alistair wants. I heard you can also let Anora rule alone and let Alistair stay Grey Warden as he wants actually

[@TotallyHuman]

i know i'm incredibly late, but what happens if you don't have a hardened alistair? Like, does anyone have a video where we see what happens at 5:17 if he's NOT hardened???

[@CDBookManGaming]

If he's not hardened, he won't marry your main character. The whole thing is that not being hardened makes him less selfish, so he doesn't look to getting only what he wants.

[@TotallyHuman]

@@CDBookManGaming I figured, but it'd be nice to see (or at least read- the actual reasoning.) I get it if this game has long been shelved and you're not going to get it out again, I'm just kinda shocked there doesn't seem to be ANY video I can find.

[@Liam10490]

My character is female noble I did this correctly I think. I did harden alistar but Anora betrayed me now everyone in the lands meet just attacked me there was no choice did I do something wrong? Please help. I’m thinking if it’s because I left jowan in the dungeon and let redcliffe arl send him to the circle but I’m not sure

[@CDBookManGaming]

Really, what matters is hardening Alistair, only having a relationship with him, and making certain that Anora and you are on good terms. You need everyone's trust if they'll go along with this, and you have to kill Loghain. Loghain can't live.

[@Liam10490]

@@CDBookManGaming ah I might have not said the right things to anora maybe. Thanks for the reply appreciate it 👍🏻. Also it didn’t get to that point to kill loghain, it was when anora walked in said she can speak for herself she turned on me instead of loghain, not sure why lol. But I did harden alistar. I did have the equal love mod as well, and romanced morrigan as well as alistar, she saw my character as a man so that could be it perhaps.

[@1xXx2012xXx1]

I've always wondered can you marry him being female noble dwarf????

No, he won't. You HAVE to be a woman noble and nothing else.

[@skyfi20849]

So isn't Kieran in line for the throne? Unless Alistair and the warden manage to have kids, that is.

[@Mondfee94]

I thunk Alistair let Morrigan swear that the child has no right to the throne.

Well, if he and the warden queen don't produce heir and risk Ferelden into an endless civil war, I think they will be fine if Keiran take the throne. Politic is politic...

PLEASE SOMEONE HAS TO TELL ME: I played a female cousland, because I wanted to marry Alistair. I was in a relationship with him, he told me, he loves me, but ... at this moment ... HE DUMPED ME! No proposal, nothing! WHAT DID I DO WRONG?! D`:

[@CDBookManGaming]

It's a steady process of "hardening" his heart. You have to make him fall for you before the midway point, convince him to talk to his sister, and make him denounce meeting her after they have their spat. At that point, you then have to convince him after the moot to think of becoming king for his own selfish reasons. You need a high charisma rate, you have to be royalty, and you have to make him think of himself.

[@CDBookManGaming]

@@emiliaromana2683 I don't think they updated anything. It's been years since I played this game, so I'd have to look up the details. I'm pretty sure it comes down to charisma, Cousland, Warrior, and hardened heart.

[@westleeyutube]

What requirment if the main character is Female Noble Human want Allistair (her love) marry thr Annora??

[@CDBookManGaming]

If your character is Alistair's love interest and you have your Charisma meter at full, you can convince him to get along with Anora and then, they can have a sham marriage.

[@ambrosia1111]

is it possible to became a queen with Alistair, but keep Loghain as a warden, (and let him kill the archdemon?)

[@CDBookManGaming]

From what I can tell, no. You have to let Alistair kill Loghain otherwise Alistair will leave. Only the Anora ending will save Loghain.

[@SneakyArcher-b1t]

No. If you want to become queen,Loghain has to die for Alistair to claim the throne. In case you want both Alistair and Loghain to survive,it is doable though. Let Loghain live,Alistair will hate you and leave the party but you gain Loghain. And Alistair becomes king,alone or with Anora. And then have Loghain bang Morrigan so he can be saved and profit ^^

[@tomatogurl2796]

can be a queen even ur a mage

[@tomatogurl2796]

i mean can u be a queen even ur mage

[@CDBookManGaming]

No. You can only be queen if you're character is of the Noble family. Otherwise, you're just Alistair's private love interest.

[@DarkKing009]

No you must wedd Alistair as a human noble to become Queen. And Loghain have to die

For me to become queen after that what when alistair comes talks to me bout me picking him as king how do i become queen or wed alistar. I need answers please.

How did you keep them both alive

[@linkholder]

ArkhamUnicorn 3 you have to have Alistair romance morrigan

[@MsChildrenOfTheKorn]

*Spoiler alert* The bad side of making Alistair king is that in DA Inquisition he is not the grey warden that you get to meet. So is better to just let Anora be the queen.

[@Paper_Gangsta17]

Micelio's hell But thier is also a bad part to that as you would have to choose between alistair or hawke to keep alive

[@ellie7200]

Micelio's hell I don't think that's a bad thing at all. If Alistair comes to the Inquisition as a Warden you have to decide between sacrificing him and Hawke. Not a choice I'd wanna make
