Dragon Age: Inquisition - King Alistair Cameo (feat. Fiona)

[@famtomerc]

How long until Alistair realizes that Haven is still in Ferelden.

[@gaaraofthefunk7163]

Maybe it was claimed by the chantry as holy land? Like..the..vatican? LOL Therefore "off limits" XD

[@finmetalwarrior]

Not long, after that he sends a letter to the inquisitor that says something like: "I was surprised to hear that something wiped Haven off the map. Off *my* map."

[@steventrollz703]

Alistair *Sits on his throne thinking* "FUCK!"

[@kk28262484]

Alistair: (To Teagan) You should have seen how mighty and composed I am when I cast the mages off to the Inquisition! I am awesome! Teagan: This will explain why somebody inform me that part of Ferelden is cut off. Alistair: Wait, what? When did that happen? Teagan: Your majesty, I was recently informed that you have given Haven, which WAS part of your land, to the Inquisition. Alistair: ... Shit!

[@FandomEnforcer]

Famtomerc didn't he and the Hero go there in DA:O? Love the guy, but seriously.

[@chemicalpoisons]

Seems Alistair not only grew in body, but in mind as well. He has fully embraced his place as king. Love him, to be honest.

[@JD-Media]

After 10 years I would hope so.

[@Leonnie13]

In one of his letters to the Inquisition you get a little glimpse of his former, endearing, goofiness.

[@catnoirlover1719]

​@@Leonnie13 wish we could see him like that in person though Can't blame him tho since he was dealing with The Calling too so can't blame him for being a bit Grumpy

[@mariosmatzoros3553]

​@@catnoirlover1719The calling plus ruling an entire nation, dealing with schemes, politics etc.

[@finmetalwarrior]

King Alistair: -Has been the king of a bickering nation for 10 years, even though he never wanted to be king in the first place. -Slightly afterwards the mages and templars go nuts and start destroying his kingdom and killing his people. -Corypheus starts to plague all wardens with the false calling. Alistar, being a former warden is also constantly hearing the calling. -Then when he finds a way to help the opressed mages out of the deadlock, they end up kicking out his adoptive uncle and turning Ferelden's most important holding over to an invading Tevinter magister. I'm surprised he didn't start executing people on the spot after all the crap he's been through. xD

[@NRV0]

@Mackenzie Bauroth I understand why she didn't use that card to try and get him to let her and the mages to stay...But man did I just want her to!!! Seeing how more than likely he'll never know, with the many options of him and her dying and such.

[@johnmclellan2257]

@@NRV0 tbh if she played the "I'm your mom" card at Redcliffe it would have made things way worse, especially if it's in a world state where Anora and Alistair are married. Being elf-blooded is largely taboo in Thedas, and a king that's elf-blooded would be unacceptable. To be honest with the amount of information he has access to as king of Ferelden he probably already knows Fiona is his mother

[@carloreneeventura8714]

well, he's a tank, that's what he does

[@phosphoros3050]

@@johnmclellan2257 If Alistair bought into the idea that Goldanna was his mother, then he'd have no reason to investigate who his mother is/was since it appears to be an open & shut case in DA:O. Arl Eamon would also have no reason to contradict this belief (since Eamon had to help Maric devise a cover story there). Though Eamon would know that Goldanna wasn't really Alistair's mother, that wouldn't mean that Maric would have told him about Fiona. So aside from Fiona, Maric, Duncan, & the dead Wardens who accompanied them during "The Calling" expedition, only the Warden Silent Sister accompanying The Architect is a definite known witness that Maric & Fiona were lovers around 9 months before Alistair was born. I do wonder if OLB Kieran would be able to sense that Alistair is a half elf though.

[@Hjalmar_an_Craite]

@@phosphoros3050 He thought Goldanna was his sister, though.

[@AndyG94]

To be fair, he is probably more grumpy that usual because he is hearing the Calling.

[@xemnas1997]

No, he was literally always like this in my games bitching about this and that, that's why I had him executed lol

[@Ketta139]

he's still got another ten years im pretty sure

[@mermpydermpy2047]

Joseph Whitaker HOW COULD YOU DO THAT

[@Doomin-c2m]

+missljean The wardens maintain a resistance to the taint for about 30 years, depending on the individual warden. Alistair went through the joining just few months before the hero of ferelden did, so he's still got 20 years before the calling, at least. Also, Fiona is alistair mother, and she used to be a grey warden until the taint just vanished from her body, so Alistar might even get rid of the taint completely at some point, especially since the hero of ferelden has abandoned the wardens in search of a cure to the taint.

[@Ketta139]

oh yea, forgot about that. for some reason i was thinking the timeskip was 20 years instead of 10 lol. Hopefully they do find a cure though, i just wanted a happy ending lmao

[@TrippNessa]

As sad as I was to see Alistair respond so harshly to Fiona here, I completely understand. He even said himself that he'd wanted to help her originally, but when you come back to find your uncle's kingdom handed over to a Tevinter Magister that just tried to get everyone killed... I mean, I think he reacted pretty reasonably. He didn't try to execute her or any of her people, just sternly asked them to leave now, and he didn't try to interfere at all when your character offers them protection. That's a lot nicer than I would have been, had I been in his shoes...

[@mim9000]

TrippNessa Ali-Cat is a doll. :D ALL HAIL CHEEZ WARDEN KING!

[@theyincorporated5711]

TrippNessa I need to have some sympathy, Fiona is his mother after all

[@Just-A-Gamer1524]

He's definitely not as cold here than if Anora ruled with him.

[@danknerevarine3678]

@@theyincorporated5711 Alistair's maternal parentage MUST be kept secret. Elves are still very much pariahs, could you imagine what would happen if the Bannorn found out that he is of elven heritage? Calenhad's bloodline or no, the banns, arls, and teryns( or teryn, assuming if you offed Loghain, but Fergus still survives regardless of which origin chosen) would rise against him. in DA: The Calling, fiona and Maric agreed to keep this secret, I dont think Loghain, Eamon, Teagan, or Cailan knew of his maternal parentage. Kinda sucks to see him being oblivious, but then again he is kept in the dark abt this.

[@Danbutch24]

It's even more tragic when you know that she's his mother!

[@kiamaria331]

I played Inquisition first, so when Alistair arrived at Redcliffe (with Anora) I was just like 'Who's this guy? Oh the king, cool.' Now having played through Origins I'm kinda caught between an odd sort of pride like 'Look at my baby all grown up and ruling a nation' and feeling sad because with the whole Goldanna thing I know how much Alistair wanted a family and here he is facing his mother and he doesn't even know it.

[@francopanqueques612]

I fuck with him

[@147CinzaRato]

That's exactly why I became his queen.

[@elissahe2377]

Just wait until you learn that grand enchanter Fiona is Alistair's mother

[@SirPeterKozlov]

Wow Alistair turned out quite the ruler. I like how he's serious and straightforward now. Also, that woman was his true mother.

[@palamedes4740]

OMG SPOILERS THANKS

[@marcel870]

Wonder how long it took him to realize haven/skyhold are still in his kingdom

[@stretfordender321]

This is actually a fairly tragic scene when you consider how in the 1st game Alistair was so desperate to find a loving family. Now he meets his real mother (who does truly love him) and without knowing who she really is has to exile her from the kingdom

[@robinhood7293]

To be honest Fiona is a terrible Grand Enchanter and she is also incredibly stupid. Giving a hold that belongs to the King Warden that helped save Ferelded from the fifht blight, who is also his son? Fiona deserved to be butchered as she was during the assault to Haven.

[@watewmark]

Fiona : King Alistair, didn't Eamon told you what happend to your mother ? Alistair : He told me enough, he told me she was some domestic. Fiona : No, I, am your mother ... Alistair : *Gasp* NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO !

I don't understand why people are all "Alistair looks ugly" he's just more "realistic" and ten years older. Actually, I still find him really attractive. And of course...Cullen is sexier than before...for a simply reason...he is the one who can be romanced in this game. This is called "fanservice" xD

[@deniz3049]

i agree but still i think alistair looks hot af

[@Aranelyn]

+Nina Azara yes in Origins he was a little bit darker, but I won't call it a whitewashing, I mean, he always been a white man, as much as Cailan and Maric. Let's say in origins he had a sunbath :P

[@SelphieFairy]

they totally gave him cullen's hair.

[@thecircus2367]

I suppose if you want a jackboot, you get a big one so you can grow into it. Nice hair, though.

[@jesseg.2413]

Maybe it's an ongoing fashion trend? XD

[@rsweeneybrg]

"Yo, the king has a nice haircut. Guess I gotta have it-"

[@cakes4494]

I also remember Alistair mentioning how he has "a weird obsession with his hair" so it would make sense that when Cullen's hair went from being a curly mess to the controlled locks he has now we can assume it was because he got more aware of his appearance and the current style. Alistair has always cared about his hair and is king so when he noticed to new trend he obviously got the hair cut to replace his more childish hair from before. Just a little headcannon theory of mine.

[@hardyreptiles1008]

I wonder if Alistair will ever find out that Fionas actually his mom. That'd be interesting to see

[@ema387]

i donno why you people are all...''Alistair is a dick...that's his mother'' he doesn't fucking know that and he's continuing to be a good king. Now i don't know this scene but i can tell he felt betrayed by the very mages he was trying to help in the second game of course he was going to be pretty pissed. Atleast he didn't send them to be executed.

Emaria CJuice Amen finally someone else here with common sense. You are a 100% right on the money my friend :)

[@jeep3r]

She should have been kicked out or put out of her misery long time ago, regardles of the fact that she's his mother, several reasons come to mind, like the fact that she prevented the calling for herself but doesn't share the secret with the rest of the wardens...always liked Alistair,and now that he's more mature and responsible he's rather "imposing"

[@DingusMeridius]

you sir,seem to enjoy making sense

[@aoibhealfae]

she looked so heartbroken at the end.....

[@ElementXCod]

Well Fiona is Alistair's REAL mom.

[@darkdesigns]

SilverSkull12 ...I had heard people had said Alistair's mother was an elf and a mage... but I wasn't aware that it was Fiona they were referring to. 0o That actually makes a lot of sense now. ***Spoilers*** I remember she kept asking about him, even though claiming she didn't know him - and seemed heartbroken after he sacrificed himself in the Fade.

[@rosemarymadelein5]

SilverSkull12 I bet he didn't know about his elvhen heritage.

[@spalenzagabriel]

@@rosemarymadelein5 she made Maric promise Alistair would be protected from the prejudice of his elven blood, the prejudice of being a royal bastard and to be raised in the most normal possible way, since being a Grey Warden is no position to raise a kid. Her wish for Alistair actually came true, raised by dogs and playing around Redcliff until he’s all covered in mud (like his dad) without a trouble caused by royal or elven blood until he was 10 and the Arlessa screwed everything. Thanks Uncle Duncan for interfering later on.

[@Blackemperess]

SPOILERIFIC JOKE AT AL'S AND FIONA'S EXPENSE Inquisitor: Hey Fiona, I left some guy called Alistair to die in the fade against a spider monster. Hawke's safe though. Fiona: O_O

[@Macder10]

They should have made a scene where fiona fireblasts you through the wall if you made that choice.

[@Blackemperess]

Macder10 Ironically, I cant stand Hawke. While more down to earth in Inquisition, DA2 left too much of a bad impression for me to ever even consider choosing their dumb ass over a character I adore. I'd opt for Alistair every time unless it's Stroud, in which case, he gets ditched instead.

[@Macder10]

Blackemperess gotta low how every player can basically leave stroud without a sense of remorse X D. I know DA2 wasn;t nearly as good as DAO. but hawke was a good character i invested several hours in his personality. im not going to make an iconical MC dissapear. would only ditch hawke if it was hero of ferelden vs hawke.

[@missbexiee]

Macder10 I could NEVER abandon Hawke... I have him and Anders romanced and holy shit that relationship is such a hot mess the pair of them need to stay alive and help each other. He's just been through so much shit in his life. In terms of Alistar, I have him with my Warden as King and Queen. It would be heartbreaking for them to ever depart from one another but I think they're way more mentally stable and able to accept things like that than Hawke and Anders would be. Well, that's my thoughts on it anyways. :)

[@Macder10]

missbexiee but what if u had to choose between hero of ferelden vs hawke?

[@hrafni]

1:57 uuuuuuuuuuuugh knowing fiona is alistair's mother, and she loves him dearly and just seeing him exile her like that... breaks my heart

[@AndyG94]

THIS!

[@andrewvincent7299]

It's also sad because Fiona never intended for Alistair to be King. She wanted him to live a life free of politics. With her believing Maric as dead and now Alistair having the burden of being King, it must break her heart.

[@spalenzagabriel]

@@andrewvincent7299 the burden of royalty, the prejudice of being half-elf, the “Wardens aren’t Parent material”... This “some matters are too important for someone like me” Alistair inherited from her. He used to think the burden of leadership was something too big for him and passed to someone “more worthy of doing the right thing” just like she did with parenting him, being a warden, mage, elf and mother to a royal bastard, she had that same insecurity and so believed he would be better being just a regular orphan.

[@bruva207]

I'm still playing hoping to hear the "swooping is bad" quote somewhere in the game...

[@HaydenAllastor]

Varric says it in an idle dialogue to Sera I believe when you're out in the world: "Don't you know? Swooping is bad!"

[@PlanetLovingMom]

In Inquisition? I don't think he says it. He does say it in Origins and in DA2, though 🤣

[@chelly3452]

Am I the only who is actually okay with the way they made Alistair look? lol

[@jonetgames]

I soo totally love Alistair's new design. When he showed up in game, I was like, is that... could it be... no way...??? (Didn't recognize him at first) Then Fiona said King Alistair and I squeeled lol. Took me a while to get used to it. I even reloaded a previous save and redid the battle with Alexius so that I could see Alistair again lol. Damn, he got even sexier, didn't think it was possible. The years have been kind. :3 o3o Wish I could say the same about Anora and Loghain. Especially Anora, she's only like 38 but looks ancient like 60 LOL :P

It's 10 years after the blight, He certainly isn't 21-22 anymore

[@sinlawson991]

Cullen is younger than Alistair by 3 -4 years,Alistair would be 31-32 Cullen would be 28-29 because when Cullen came to the circle in fereldan he was 18-19 and think about the stress Alistairs been through xD I Personally think Cullen looks older in D.A.I.

[@sinlawson991]

Yeah they should have and Maybe Cullen did during his time in fereldan and thats why he actually looked pretty damn good looking in part 2 xD

I would have been playing since yesterday but sadly i Couldn't pick it up. Can't wait to play!

[@sinlawson991]

First romance will be Cullen xD ive been waiting for 4 years to have that option

[@nightfrost1891]

I still think it's kind of bull that after this Alistair asks for all these favors on the war table and you STILL don't get to even talk to him. This isn't even a conversation it's just Alistair yelling at Fiona / rebel mages to leave. Hell, Hawke got to talk to him longer in DA2 in EVERY scenario longer than this. You get to talk to him if he becomes a Grey Warden but the price to pay with that is steep. It would be nice to hear him reminiscing about the Hero of Ferelden or talking about his love. Idk it just feels stupid that if you choose any of the male love interests you don't get to hear them talking about their relationships. Hell, Zevran isn't even in the game. Only Grey Warden Alistair will give any juicy deets and like I said before, that's a big nope. The Hero of Ferelden's note helped a bit but.... sigh.

[@celineae4518]

I can hear Morrigan's voice saying: Nice, he just banned his mother

I've been looking for this! Too bad they make no mention of Queen Cousland. Morrigan mentions the warden's whereabouts if she was romanced.... feeling a little jealous that I have no idea what's happened to my warden.

[@TrAdErInSpAiN]

They did. Talk to Lelliana. My Female Warden became queen with maxed friendship ( not romance) with Lelliana and she said she lost contact with the Hero Of Ferelden. I think it's about 1hour into the game when u talk to her outside of the Chantry in Haven beside the Quartermasters.

[@hirukairi]

Arthur Wellesley hmmmm well I can't play the game so I'm stuck watching videos of other people playing the game, but I meant more than "we lost touch" I think it's rather strange that a Queen goes missing and no one mentions anything about it (or at least from what I've seen)

[@TrAdErInSpAiN]

Ellie I think she goes missing because she went to the deep roads. it had been more than 10 years since the fifth blight and blight wardens succumb to the taint faster if im not wrong

[@justin1594]

not everyone had queen cousland, it depends on what you import

[@hirukairi]

Justin Barrett I was talking specifically about this video. In Fluffy's world state the warden is queen cousland. Arthur Wellesley If you watch the video where the inquisitor talks to Morrigan about the warden, and the warden was in a relationship with her she'll mention that he's off trying to find a cure for the calling so I imagine that the female warden would be doing something similar.

Yea anora definitely poisons him. Honestly she's a terrible person, her only concern is power and control and it shows how she treats the hero of ferelden even willing to betray him multiple times, and how just being around her alistair becomes so much more bitter. it's funny cuz cailan was a jolly guy likely because he spent most of his time away from the castle.

Weighing in on the general discussion: He's also probably recalling another certain act of betrayal that has him a bit less likely to be receptive to working with Fiona. And, remember, too, that she's an elf. He likely wouldn't even consider the possibility that she's his mother just because he has no reason to believe he's a half elf at all. To my knowledge, all the people that knew are dead with possibly the exception of Teagann.

[@Aliens1337]

If Alistair remained Warden/died, I think Logaihn showed up.

[@darkdesigns]

Did he show up in your playthrough? That is kind of interesting - didn't know Loghain was in the game at all. Though Alistair does not remain a warden if you spare Loghain. He will either leave the order (and become a drunk), claim the throne, or be executed. ;) As for what happens if Alistair is a Warden - Anora shows up.

[@katxheartgaming]

I really don't like how Alistair looks in this game. They got it right in DA:O. Should a stuck with it. Cullen on the other hand just kept getting better looking.

[@josephsimmons9202]

I'd take that offer if I were you...one way or another you're leaving my kingdom. King Alistair got that ice water running in his viens. Love it! 💪

[@HierophanticRose]

He should have said "I cannot let a group of Free Mages swoop into one of my holds..."

[@xenon8117]

“Yes. Swooping is bad.”

[@kaiju1281]

Fiona looks so heartbroken. She never saw Alistair all these years, never spoke to him, but you can see that she loves him nonetheless. And it really, really pains her to hear how her son speaks to her.

[@clowTM]

You read "the calling" and suddenly this breaks your heart. It also seems like the most canon way to do things xp for what that matters

[@ChokyDaWerehusky]

It was Cruel, to find out that Alistar has not the Same Voice ( In German). I just stood there like...'' Who are you and where is the real alistar''

[@marcosamell96]

Is that his only cameo if you make him king?

[@ridinghorseface5678]

No, if he stays a warden, hes there too and helps you in the fight against the warden mages

[@aliceinsherlockland]

On a less serious note that most of these comments - Still can't quite grasp why Alistair looks so hot in this scene and true to his original design in Origins, but so weird when he's the Warden. My guess is that the lighting plays a big part in that. Here, in the darkened room, he has a complexion matching his original design. However, as a Warden seen in plain sight, he's weirdly pale and has ginger hair. In general, you can then see more clearly that most of his features are not Alistair-y. And yes, I know that they tried to make him look more realistic, but still, Warden Alistair doesn't work for me. But hey it's probably just the fact that I love his character so much, that any differences are a break of immersiveness for me 🤷‍♀️

[@tsukikage3941]

Alistair - the standing example of an HD remaster gone wrong.

[@UOHCUNY]

Only 2 minutes of him? Come on bioware.

[@NRV0]

Haha you know whats funny? I just thought that technically, Fiona, who is an elf, has the title of "Queen Mother of Ferelden". I'm sure a lot of human nobles would get a kick outta that lol

[@TaliZorah1]

damn Alistair grew a backbone

[@dflynn6138]

cant say i blame him id be pissed off too

[@TaliZorah1]

d flynn more now than in Origins and yeah im suprised he did not execute those mages everyone in Ferelden must be wanting there blood by now

[@dflynn6138]

Talizorah'vas' 'Normandy' cant he just take it back he has a army

[@suwatsaksri7191]

Of course he needs a backbone, his wife killed the Archdemon after all

[@gozzythebat]

This is even more sad if your warden is a Mage I imagine Alistair offered shelter for the mages because he thought about the warden, especially if they are in a romance. Also one of the boons in origins, the warden can ask for the mages to have more freedom. In a way the mages squandered this gift the hero of fereldan gave them :(

[@MadastheHatter13]

He doesn't sound like a king, he sounds like a health food store clerk.

[@kingalistair3729]

I look ravishing in 1080p.

[@AsteroidalApogee]

wonder how long it will take Alistair to realize Skyhold is still in Ferelden

[@VaultGirl684]

Awww where's cousland?😣

[@Yukaeshi]

I think one of the reasons why King Alistair makes no mention of the Hero of Ferelden in Inquisition (Especially if the HoF is Queen/in a romance with King Alistair), is because the player doesn't get a chance to interact with King Alistair and ask him about the HoF if he is King. I believe that the story goes the same as if it's Warden Alistair- that the HoF and his love have gone off to seek a cure for the Calling, regardless of whether she is queen or not, and that his feelings for her is just the same as the Warden Alistair scenario. It's just that Warden Alistair is accessible to the player in Inquisition so they get to talk and he gets to tell them about her. It's referenced in the Codex entry in Inquisition: dragonage.wikia.com/wiki/Codex_entry:_A_Letter_from_the_Hero_of_Ferelden Also, Alistair IS King of Ferelden in Bioware canon.

[@samflood5631]

FYI, Alistair is wearing the same armor he wore in the Dragon Age Comic book series where he teams up with Varric and Isabella to find his dad.

[@nej5201]

I was happy to see Alistair. Only to learn I wouldn't because I saved the Templars.

[@Ship-security]

Why don't the King's Guard have weapons?

[@T13HS]

It's so stupid that if you made Alistair king, you only get to see him if you side with the stupid mages. Bad decision by Bioware.

[@ВладиславШаклеин-ч7м]

Alistair was always a bit naive, and so are supporters of 'mage freedom'. So no, it does make perfect sense.

[@airmanbunny9767]

NoU

[@meglee9533]

Is this really Alistair's only appearance? I almost missed it when I was playing the game. There was no power behind it, no Alistair humour, nothing. I was so disappointed. He's the bloody King of Ferelden (in a large number of people's games, that is.) and needed more than just "oh, let's kick out Fiona now." and she's meant to be his mother, right? No build up to it, nothing. I'm so royally pissed right now.

[@gzapray7203]

Fiona's fatal flaw strikes again and now it comes with a price of losing Alistair's good graces. Tragic. And I don't understand why the Alistair hate at his treatment at Fiona. As far as I know, Alistair is yet to know his true relations with Fiona and he's nothing but reasonable at this point of having his country being a refuge for the mages until Fiona abuses it. He has every right to get angry.

[@jonetgames]

When Fiona lowers her head at the end, my heart breaks. Ouch, Alistair. If only you knew the pain you caused your mom (although she kind of deserved it).

[@Rorschachinstein]

Didn't think Alistair rocked his own personal royal bodyguard of dread. He seemed like such a happy king DA2

[@lydiadiangelo2588]

Bunch of people saying they'd have imprisoned or killed them if they were in his shoes until you find out that Grand Enchanter Fiona is Alistair's mother.

[@foreversic99]

love Alistair and I see why he made that choice, but he's not looking very kingly, looks more like a rogue. Where is my tank king Alistair!

[@razgriz821]

son scolding his mom.. classic.. haha.. thanks for this vids.. i never let alistair take the throne on every single DAO i do.. my cousland warrior was a better ruler.. haha.. feel bad leaving alistar in the fade and killing fiona during haven's fall but hey, bye2x to calenhad's line.. hello to couslands ruling ferelden..

[@rosemarymadelein5]

My warden was a rogue Cousland and married with a hardened king Alistair. I love Alistair

[@crashpal]

SWOOPING IS BAD.

[@moniquita720]

And to think, he doesn't know its his mom.

[@MissSharkmuffins]

WHAT HAPPENED TO ALISTAIR WHERES THE CUTE HAIR IT IS MISSING

[@ellie7200]

It breaks my heart to see Alistair and Fiona talking to each other with him being completely unaware of the fact that she's his mother

[@Haszry]

Yes, swooping is bad.

[@drownzi]

I JUST WANNA SEE KING ALISTAIR AND MY QUEEN WARDEN HAPPY AND IN LOVE TOGETHER

[@bindair_dundat]

"Steady course to the Haven, Hew many foe-men"

[@peppermint1349]

Omg when I saw this scene!!! My dear alistair

[@arielfetters5662]

A scene made even rougher when you realize Fiona's his mother.

[@phantasmile]

Sick everyday knowing one of his only interactions with his mom is yelling at her, he would never if he knew 😭😭😭😭😭

[@drownzi]

she deserves it for abandoning him tbh

[@omarmadouni4980]

alistar didn't have the same voice when i played it , and he was too angry

[@fosterc1251]

Alistair doesn't look the same and ban teagan, now arl teagan looks awful compared to origins I didn't even recognize him as a reoccurring character until he spoke...GAH he looks like a pope or something

[@mariaverrico6039]

I got this scene despite that in my playthrough and DA Keep import Alistair remained a Grey Warden, underwent the dark ritual, and stayed with Tabris. Anyone else run into this?

[@EruanneJfO]

BUt then you have to choose... I prefer this version. What happens if alistair ist a drunk?
