Alistair cameo (King, Warden, Drunk) [all options] | Dragon Age 2

[@ShotgunsAndSalt]

Warden Cousland: "Alistair, please stop giving my loot to random people, we've talked about this."

[@tjongdavid1921]

It's alright. It's not like you're gonna sell em to some random shop or something right? 😂

[@ДмитрийМачулин-ч3т]

That's right, I'm gonna sell them for money. The Vigil's Keep is still under repair and I have a wife and a son to feed.

[@GenericUsername-qp1ww]

Alistair: "you were over-encumbered, not my fault you're a hoarder"

This makes me wonder what my companions were thinking when warden was scraping over the pile of rocks, bones and old sacks everywhere we go 😂

[@AngelJimenez-cs4yq]

I’m sad for drunk Alistair but “everyone hanging around talking about their TAINT” is a hilarious sentence out of context 😂😂

[@MaryDunford]

I only let Loghain live during one playthrough, just to see what a sad drunk Alistair could be. Ugh. It was both hilarious and painful. 😂

[@evitaathanasiou897]

Watching drunk Alistair was heart wrenching. **my precious boy**

[@Chirpysemperboy]

Drunk Alastair is heart breaking to watch because he was right, but everyone else thought he was wrong.

[@xXxxMihaelKeehlxxXx]

Where he was right? I genuinely don’t understand? Like the decision with Loghain was wrong? I think it was good one…

[@Chirpysemperboy]

@@xXxxMihaelKeehlxxXx Honestly, he doesn't deserve saving, to me. He betrayed his men, his king, and his allies. Then he tried to lie about it to grab power.

[@xXxxMihaelKeehlxxXx]

@@Chirpysemperboy I mean, it kinda makes sense with the books? And he is morally grey, and saving him is literally grey warden 1O1. That’s how it always been. Pragmatic, sometimes evil choices. So I don’t know if Alistair was truly right. He was angry and hurt. It heavily depends on the player choices? There’s no right or wrong here. Because that’s what you meant by him being right? That choice?/gen

[@Chirpysemperboy]

@@xXxxMihaelKeehlxxXx From his perspective he is right.

[@xXxxMihaelKeehlxxXx]

@@Chirpysemperboy yeah! Exactly! You got my point :D there’s no truly right or wrong in this situation! It’s just awful moment of choice and Alistair just… didn’t want to see why other option could be right too… that’s what tragic in this

[@Gnorkadork]

"You look... different." "Don't we all." ;) HAH!

[@123Nightcloud]

Alistair's eye in the final cut scene 😭😭SIR!!

[@thomash8408]

I like to think that my fem warden just sends Alistair random loot with a message: “just put it on the pile. I’ll deal with it when I get back”

[@jdovaj0746]

That's probably true

[@user-ps6do9lu3n]

Drunk Alistair is supposed to be very heart-wrenching but I'm just sat here wondering what the fuck happened to his hands

[@Zero60133]

Dragon Age 2 hands...they don't look good on anyone..

[@Alexor715]

The taint is creeping on him already. Hats-off, Bioware, for this little detail! 😅

[@ItsYaBoiV]

I always keep Alistair as a warden, I think he's happiest that way

[@tommenno]

I made him King, but I *also* let him 1v1 Logain... After promising Anora I'd let him live. Because *fuck you* Anora, you backstabbing bitch.

[@dubiousspacehamster3833]

I would totally do that too, if it weren't for that warden questline in Dragon Age Inquisition.

[@ItsYaBoiV]

@@dubiousspacehamster3833 See I always leave Hawke in the fade, cuz of that whole speech Flemeth gives in DA2 about leaping into the abyss. (paraphrasing, obviously) I feel like if anyone could survive the fade it's Hawke. That said, I have just about every possible world state made so I can see how they might effect the next game (if at all) I just prefer to keep the warden and Alistair together because feelings.

[@clarinetgirl75]

I’m far too attached to Alistair and Hawke to do anything less than making him king. I’d never be able to choose between them. He seems to do a pretty decent job anyway.

[@sneakysquirrel7352]

@@ItsYaBoiV A hardened king Alistair is actually pretty happy as king, because he got the self-confidence do be. I don´t think he is most happy as a warden, because when meeting Goldanna in the fade and you asking him why he is so content, he says don´t want to fight and fight gain and then die a senseless death in the deep roads. He thought he would be happy as a warden, but it wasn´t the right place for him. He just always wanted always belong to some groupe that gives his damaged soul some self worth. When looking at him you see mostly a goofball but behind that he is often very sarcastic / sassy , observant and insightfull. He is a smart guy. He is so much afraid of beeing king, not because he hates beeing a king itself, but because he thinks he will be the worst king ever and he will destroy his land by his incompentence. He has absorbed the verbale abuse and neglect of his past and thinks he is some kind of incompetent fool who deserves to be hurt, betrayed, abandoned, patronized or just harrassed for beeing a worthless bastard. He prefers to be in the shadows and follow orders because he thinks he will fail when he takes command. He is also so desperate for some love that he naively will give Goldanna money hoping that she will accept him. This is the reason why I harden him and make him king mostly, because he can break out off this circle and becoming a man he can respect, someone who will activly fight for his ideals, because Alistair wants to make a difference in the world, he wants to make it a better place so that others don´t have to suffer. He can do that as warden too and while unhardened he will be most happy as one, but he can make much more significant difference with his intelligence and his skills, which he will improve as king and it is stated that by his charisma and easy grace he becomes he very popular king and forthermore through his trained skills he will be a good and just king. Some say he loses his hope in humanity when hardened, but why does he become such a strong but still benevolent king if he has lost his faith? But in DA2 and Inquisition his hardened version has merged with his unhardened version. He is the same regardless of your choices in DAO, thus he is a weird mix between a competent ( see his cameo) but simultaneously a goofy and incompetent king like his brother (see his letters) and the latter cries that he is unhappy but in DAO he said "Make me king" when hardened and he seemed very happy and content as king. Bioware has messed up with his character development. We have very litte King Alistair content and very much Warden Alistair content thus I can´t really tell in DAI where he is the happiest, but I just imagine his DAO hardened version and hpe they will fix this mess In DA4.

[@sawalynn]

SOBBING at the fact he drunkenly says swooping is bad 😭

[@sawalynn]

Seriously though, i genuinely hope no one has drunk Alistair as a canon for their world state, hes happiest as a warden truly and i hate to see him depressed like that~

[@gamergirl6441]

Alistair drinking was terrible 😭. I just want to give him a big hug

[@pandacherry2858]

[@davido.1233]

I really like that the Templar guard behind Alistair turns when he hears that Alistair was formerly a Templar. Also, how did you get Isabela in act 2 when she's supposed to have fled?

[@og_awaken369]

If your approval is high enough in either direction, she'll come back.

[@davido.1233]

@@og_awaken369 yeah, when you're in the Viscount's Keep with the Arishok, not the streets of Lowtown outside Gamlens home. How is she there to meet Alastair as a Warden?

[@dranzerjetli5126]

Umm with high friendship she stays behind and comes back to return the book

[@Jeymez]

​@Ethan Schultz Alistair doesn't show up until Act 3 whether as King or Warden, from what i remember. the Qunari problem was the main theme throughout act 2, because the mage/ templar thing doesn't start fully falling apart until the start of act 3. Alistair shows up either as a warden or king Alistair, drunk Alistair is more of a funny joke, i find it less interesting because he doesn't have much to say, so it's not a very long visit.

[@Jeymez]

@Ethan Schultz oh, well you mentioned something about mods, so i didn't think of her. though canon wise if you go by the story, she did meet Alistair, not by herself but story wise she did. in the story it was Zevran who introduced Isabella to the Wardens. Hawke knew very little about them, other than him or her hearing about the Hero of Ferelden ending the blight and Alistair became King. my guess is Hawke probably heard it from varric, cause remember it was Varric telling the story. though based on how Varric is, it's hard to tell which part of the story is true and which part is made up. we definitely know for sure that legacy is true since it ties into Inquistion. but when you talk to Hawke in Inquistion, how he explains certain things even with the choices you make, it sounds like some of the things that played out was a little exaggerated by Varric. which is understandable, considering Cassandra had him held prisoner.

[@BamHurgen]

Interesting that drunk Alistar doesn't say anything about the hero of fereldan

[@Vanacloud]

If you go that path The Hero basically screwed him over lol even more heartbroken if you romanced Alistair...

[@Pyxis10]

​@@Vanacloud Not really. He's the naive child who refuses to understand that the wardens take anyone they can get.

[@Jeymez]

​@@Pyxis10 not traitors though, they are willing to recruit anyone, but that involves dark spawn or during a blight when the right of conscription becomes mandatory, so what Loghain did wasn't just betraying a king, the Wardens were there hoping to stop the blight, someone got in the way of that. so in this case they would not recruit someone who betrayed the order, that's what the old Warden Commander did to stop a tyrant. if you remember the Wardens keep quest, that's what's his names great grandmother, but at one point in time she fought against a tyrant. it's unclear what it was all about, but some of the story plays out similar to what Loghain was trying to do to stop us.

[@MrMarioEberle]

@@Jeymez They absolutely would recruit him. Riordan is the one who asks you to conscript him, and he's a senior Warden who got recruited alongside Duncan. Also the events of Wardens Keep clearly portray Sophia Dryden in a negative light: she abused her position as Warden-Commander and her claim to the throne to start a civil war, and one of the core tenets of being a Grey Warden is that you don't interfere with the politics of the nations they operate in. When she lost, it resulted in the Grey Wardens being banished from Ferelden until Maric reinstated them. The Warden and Alistair also meddled in the politics of Ferelden, but in their defense there was a Blight going on and all the other Wardens were dead. This wasn't the case at the time of Sophia Dryden.

[@archiwistykaumk5182]

Thanks. I never could't make Alister drinker but is nice to watch that he was help.

[@Kumihox94]

Does Warden Alistair says "the love of my life" about the hero of Ferelden only if Carver isn't there? Cause i tried every answer and i keep getting "old friend", even if my Warden and Alistair had a romance in DA:O and DA:A. It's sad he just says "old friend" 😢

[@raynebo44]

I heard it's bugged out if your warden made the ultimate sacrifice, but I'm not sure 🤔

[@Kumihox94]

@@raynebo44 my warden didn't make the sacrifice cause i accepted the ritual of Morrigan. So she was still alive and in love with Alistair, that's why i thought it was for Carver presence, even if it still sounds sad to just say "friend" tbh

[@crochetdogtrainer]

Am I the only one who thinks Alistairs armor looks like the Wolf armor in Skyrim? The armor Skjor wears? I don't think it's the same but it reminds me of it

[@jenniferdunlap2692]

[@misostrazovsky8910]

​@@Mel9188 I made further research about interactions with king Alistair in Dragon Age II: If the Warden is alive and friends with Alistair: Alistair: Well. I suppose we should be getting back. Teagan: We should. The Hero of Ferelden should be back in Denerim by now. Alistair: You're always so formal. He/She has a name, you know. If the Warden is dead Alistair: Well. I suppose we should be getting back. Teagan: The Grey Wardens are waiting for you in Denerim. Alistair: With more questions I'll bet, lovely. If the Warden is Alistair's mistress: Alistair: Well. I suppose we should be getting back. Teagan: Indeed, you know who should already have returned from her mission. (If single): Alistair: Is she? Well, the day's looking up already. (If married to Anora): Alistair: Is she? Well, let's not tell the queen then. Teagan: Wouldn't dream of it, Your Majesty. If the Warden is Alistair's queen: Alistair: Well, I suppose I should get back to the old ball and chain. Teagan: You know, the queen hates it when you call her that. Alistair: No she doesn't. Just because she killed an Archdemon... she doesn't scare me. Teagan: You keep telling yourself that, Your Majesty. Thing you asked was If the Warden is Alistair's mistress.

[@misostrazovsky8910]

@@Mel9188 You are welcome. Dragon age II in my opinion was great game despite negative reviews. Yes locations were recycled, whole plot took place in one city but has great story and the best protagonist. Hawke is my favourite protagonist from Dragon Age trilogy because he is not chosen one like Warden/Inquisitor and only consistent protagonist through trilogy. Why? Because we do not know exact name/race of Warden, same with Inquisitor but with Hawke/Champion of Kirkwall sex does not matter if male or female and he/she is always named Hawke and human. Also I liked in Dragon Age II friendship/rivalry system than approval/disapproval.
