Dragon Age: Origins - Alistair Romance - Alistair Break-up After the Landsmeet

[@TheGlassCrow]

"we cant married you because of the tainted blood, but if you were a human noble....." why is`et there a "throw his rose at him" option

[@kiamaria331]

I just got this scene. Alistair broke up with my Warden and I didn't even know they were together. Like, my Warden was full on romancing Zevran, they're in love, and here comes Alistair all 'We need to talk about us.' WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT, DUDE?! WHAT US?! Admittedly, I may have flirted with him a bit at the beginning of the game and when I gave him Duncan's shield I said 'For you, anything.' But I meant that as two people who have been through hell together. Darkspawn besties. This was a awkward moment. XD

[@dariashpanagel5294]

I'm screaming out loud!!! hahahahah

[@Bunsy82]

"Awkward moment" seems to be an understatement here haha!! "Darkspawn besties", love that lol I feel it would totally be something he'd say in a conversation somewhere.

[@Adikova97]

Ninjamancing aww yiss

[@Hisashi_Hyuga]

Lol yikes Alistair created the whole relationship in his head the whole time you were screwing Zevran

[@InYourNetwork]

My man Alistair got friendzoned and didn't even know. Hahaha

[@cloudgirl150]

At the camp: Alistair: *crying* what have I done!

[@gabrielaowo8144]

LMAOOOO

[@missNewVegas]

wouldn't it be a kick in the ass if you found out you were pregnant with Alistairs child? I kinda wish that twist would exist lol

[@valkyrie6691]

MissNewVegas SAME THO I'm thinking the same thing and I wish so bad that that was an option

[@amirashammo3506]

WooW that would such great plot development, and the child would be the god like child and no need for the dark ritual to be performed Can mod creators create such a mod?

[@childsbloodbath9165]

You could always write it out. Fan fictions are great for those fixes

[@vanityk7068]

Have to go take a swim in that magical pool deep in the dark roads like Alistair’s mom Fiona did to have him

[@Lauranna]

Rat Bastard!! He ruined my entire game plan. I was going to marry Alistair, become Queen and rule with him as my puppet king. How dare here crush my dream! No more armor for you. Your going into battle naked.

[@МаксимЛень-о6м]

Nine years later .... What a cruel revengeб, I like it))).

[@Lauranna]

@@carlyofearth It’s been 11 years but I still hate Alistair. Fuck that guy!😆

[@IFYOUCOULDFLY]

I love Alistair, but...then he pulls shit like this. And on my first playthrough, I sacrificed my Warden and didn't make him king. Then when I saw him again in Dragon Age 2 and ask about the Hero of Ferelden, I was ready to hear him cry about how much he misses me, but instead he just gives away his only possession of mine to some girl he just met. This boy.

[@SaphiraTheMongoose]

LOL

[@InYourNetwork]

I KNOW I WAS SO MAD.

[@verminscum]

same i was like ????? you just met hawke and you give away your precious wardens item???? i know it was meant to be cool for our hawke to have something from our warden but damn that made no sense in reality lmao

[@Leonnie13]

Apparently he got himself a new BAE

[@aleksas5555]

They should've added a dialogue option: "Oh you're dumping me? When you spoke of Leliana as queen Stabbity Kill Kill, you were wrong." (Attack him). IF you kill him, you also get "Morrigan approves (+50).

[@madhouse2594]

Yikes

[@kdshep]

All those Disney Princess dreams going right down the drain....

[@Milu0000000]

It was confirmed on Bioware forum that children of Grey Wardens doesn't inherit the taint normally (that's way Morrigan had to get pregnat in a special ritual, she may be pregnat with your Grey Warden but he still dies without the ritual). It was also said that Grey Wardens can't have children by normal means. No one said it's impossible with magic, So maybe female Warden and Alistair can have a child with some magical help.

[@Leonnie13]

Read the calling. How did Fiona do it?

[@bloodyrose1985]

what happens when you say "Then you're an ass!" dialogue? PLEASE post that! I'd like to see how that turns out! LOL

[@MatrixMiles17]

This happened to me as a female dwarf, it broke my fucking heart and I'm a guy!

[@navarroa.9171]

And then after he leaves her, the battle with the Archdemon calls for the unlimited cost: her life. Damn... that an angst ending.

[@Aurora3181]

And this is what makes this game, and games that take the time to find GOOD voice actors, so amazing. Steve Valentine does an awesome job. Alistair is very emotional, and Valentine does an awesome job of making that virtual text make you feel all his emotions. Best fangirl character, ever.

[@AdasAtelier]

I laughed when that happend because my city elf was romancing Zevran and not him... Soo... I was a bit confused when he tried to break up with my Warden :D She enlightened him by saying "There never were a us, what the hell ya talking 'bout? o.o" He, now totally confused as well, told me that he thought there were more between them and asked if he were too presumptuous and my girl straight "Eh... Yes. I just liked you Alistair, nothing more". Well, if someone break someone's heart it's my Warden🖕🏻😁🖕🏻

[@pakigurl820]

First time I played the game... I played as an elf and romanced Alistair and when he broke up with me I was so devastated my warden committed suicide -_- I'm kinda ashamed of that now, I should've just killed him

[@nathanniesche6380]

Committed suicide?

[@nathanniesche6380]

@Obi-Wan Kenobi But what if she had the high ground?

[@InYourNetwork]

I thought about doing the same. Sacrificing my character to save the world... Then I thought about sacrificing Alistair but.. I told myself I would be a better woman than that. I let both of us live. Idk maybe I was hoping he would come back to me after the dragon was dead. He didnt. I should've killed him. Grey wardens do have a history of killing kings. Lol

[@katie5998]

My elf was so sick of human bullshit, and knew that a life as his mistress would not be worthy of what she deserved. I was still so sad and regretful for the rest of the playthrough (especially the DLC when he greets you as king, ah, what a prick) but I was happy for my warden and put in canon that they ended up meeting someone later down the road, and together they lived a happy comitted life. She never truly forgot Alistair, but she accepted that their love was over. Memories to be cherished, not to be pined after

[@flamestar4568]

My only comfort from this is imagining Leliana comforting my Warden as she's sobbing her heart out while Morrigan goes full-on Angelica Schuyler on Alistair's dumb ass. It would also help to think that Alistair had realized how badly he fucked up after the Warden died........

[@mase5995]

I actually would like to see an animatic of Morrigan singing Congratulations

[@BrightenUpEmoBoy]

I never thought I could feel this way about a fictional character.

[@harperbye]

Firstly i played as a human mage then i learned i cant be queen and i was almost half on the game. So i started as a human noble just for become queen and stay with him. I was ambitious lmao

[@nathanniesche6380]

Why not just stick with the character you made? There are other cool things to be besides queen.

[@izuminaota5592]

When this happened to me on my first try on this game, (I was a Dalish elf) I kind of understood that it had to be done, that didn't stop me from getting upset though... and he totally stole my thunder by interfering in my Great battle with the archdemon. as soon as I saw him raising the sword to give the final hit, I pressed the escape button until I was back to the main menu of the game and started all over again, not even bothering what that ending said. >

[@sydney229]

When this happened to me, I was absolutely dumb founded. I was like WTF!!?!?!?!?! And promptly restarted the game to right before the Landsmeet and let Anora be queen. That bitch... >_>

[@fiammanera2579]

And here we are, ten/twelve canonically years later and he's still single and heir-less. It always bugged me. I suppose it's great for an angst playthrough (headcanoning he'd regret it for the rest of his days) or an ultimate sacrifice one, but still. Pretty dumb.

[@izuminaota5592]

Wouldn't it be interesting if somehow, two grey wardens had enormous amount of luck and the maker blessed them with all his might and they managed to have a child? since it's just 'ALMOST' and not completely impossible. Wouldn't that child have the taint in his blood naturally? and by that, I would also guess that in those time in the womb, he'd grown accustomed to the taint that the usual 'early death' would no longer come? gosh I wish Bioware have that in mind and consider it. ^^

[@lemonade17]

Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.

[@sonnenblumefrau2048]

Thank God I kept him as a Warden.

[@verar2247]

And yet, even If you make him king and not doing ritual, he gives you no choice and sacrifice himself saying he doing this because he loves you and wants you to live

[@hobbes296]

*sobs* Still too soon. Seriously though, this just sort of proves that Alistair is some sort of elitist since he stays with you as a noble. :(

[@okerina]

hobbes296 Politics. He's just learning the game. My mage Amell never blamed him. although I ended up shitting all over him on my male Cousland playthrough to get back at him (I spared Loghain, married Anora and he's a wandering drunk in that world state lol >_>)

[@shriramvenu]

no he isn't an elitist, it is Ferelden law. Being king means putting duty and the good of the nation above himself. That is why he didn't want to be king. Only a human noble can be Queen of Ferelden.

[@shriramvenu]

if you harden Alistair you can agree to be his mistress. If he is not hardened this is not an option

[@thisis26]

Nah, I was noble he dumped me too hahaha

[@nathanniesche6380]

@@shriramvenu *harden*

[@deboraition]

I became Alistair's queen. I managed to gain about 7 approvals from the nobles. My coercion skill was high (I only needed one more to have it entirely leveled up). Theres a certain sequence in how you respond in the landsmeet. And you have to gain favors from the nobles by doing quests for them (like the woman who you have to give a ring from her brother, if you do that and speak correctly, she'll support you in the landsmeet.) if you gain the favors of the crows (completing the quest) they'll support you also at the Landsmeet. You need at least five votes. I passed this game with xbox 360. so it might be different in PC or something. If Alistair kills loghain, Anora will refuse to marry him (hehe)

[@pudonnutlehti]

damn, I was almost crying when this scene came up :( I wish I had known it would have been possible to choose to become at least a mistress, damn :( so sad...

[@bloodymack15]

@crazy4sian thats an option, but you have to suggest that idea to him and then stick to it. but when it's a character that you feel like your forming a relationship with, the idea of being nothing but a mistress is degrading. (especially if you're an elf)

[@thisis26]

Friggin turd dumped me. I was gonna be Queen. Instead I said "fk this shit im out", killed a dragon, and died lol

[@beckahmarie2]

i love him so much. omg. why isn't he REAL.

[@Lishaaaaaaa]

How he swaggers in... ; A; I always make a human female noble, always.

[@Danish1124]

An then it saves...!

[@Japanimegirl15]

Awwwww.... :( so sad....I'd be so heartbroken if I ever had that happen to me (in real life). Alistair really is such a fantastic character...and you can feel the pain in his voice. Back then, Kings and Queens did not marry for "love". They married to produce an heir for the throne. Alistair will always Love the Warden, even if he can never be with her...its sad, but I'm sure that's how it was back then, for anyone really

[@KingdomofGod777]

Ok sooo ummm did anyone cry at this part cuuuz I did XDD I was soooo saaaaad!!

[@gozzythebat]

*breaks up with you in front of all your friends* Leliana: "Did someone say KFC?"

Not sure if anyone would agree with me, but if Alistair dumped me like this, the Blight would be the LAST thing on my mind!!!!!

[@EdenJAM]

@RosalieHale1995 Yeah I know! I'm just imagining this conversation and everybody is standing behind you going O.O

[@darkangelprincess101]

I decided to make Alister king because i wanted to be queen. What i didnt know at the time was i couldnt be queen as an elf. I was completely heartbroken

[@pinkapacla]

What happens, when you choose "Then you are an ass. But do what you want."?:)

[@chichirismuse]

Not sure if you figured it out already, but you have to persuade the crowd that your character will rule beside him. He'll still raise doubts later, but if you keep shooting encouraging dialogue, it should work. Yea, this was pretty heart-wrenching.

[@Italianlove09]

@UndisclosedDesires95 he would say i'm sorry you feel that way

[@uzytnik]

This is why I won't ever be able to make him a king. He... He just shouldn't be a king. His heart belongs to Grey wardens Besides, Anora will be a better queen, i think

[@carntmax8952]

Damn us elves/dwarves/mages get it damn rough. If we make him king he leaves us, if we let him stay a grey warden SPOILERS We have to choose between him and hawke 😭

[@hyunrahan5265]

I had to choose Hawke later on tho 😂 I know Hawke will live no matter what. Hawke is like a cockroach. Alistair however would be willing to die as a grey warden. He take duty too seriously 😭

[@FerretsForever94]

@shepardcousland There are also mods out now that can make you his Queen (With right dialogue, etc) regardless of your origin story.

[@ElloaWendy]

@NatalyaCousland totaly agree!

[@fosaimaginator3920]

This is the only moment i got so mad at Alistair i abandoned the entire playthrough and restart the game as a Human Noble CAN ANYONE BLAME ME? I CHOSE HIM TO BE KING AND LOOK AT WHAT HE DID TO ME IN RETURN

[@TheDullster]

...I am SO FREAKING GLAD I didn't make him king.

[@ooooo000ooooo]

Knowing about this in advance, that’s why your character shouldn’t sleep with him unless they fulfill the queen requirements If I won’t get what I want, then you won’t either, Alistair 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

[@KiwiDash1]

lol I got this as a male elf that romanced Morrigan and I was like WTF... it was hilarious xD

[@Red0100]

I had his head cut of on my last play-through, just for the heck of it.

We need moar Alistairs!

[@shepardcousland]

yes, you could. Look up "Becoming Alistair's Mistress" in moainternets's videos.

[@SuperFunJess]

This makes me glad I became warden queen and had him impregnate Morrigan. We get to live happily ever after. He's so sweet at post-coronation, he's so loving towards the warden!-333

[@selinaanderson3899]

so painful...

[@Serafina_]

After he breaks up with you, let him come with you during the battle and he will have expelled his sins Lol. Refused the ritual of morrigan or you will not have the end I predicted ;)

[@iorenidiaz8693]

Does he still take the final blow and dies even though he broke up with you? =0

[@Serafina_]

@@iorenidiaz8693 Yes, even if he breaks up with our characters, he sacrifices himself for his old love, then I don't know if we could tell him about it, I know that I had been a bit ironic with him... and he blamed himself for having hurt my character, so he prefers to sacrifice himself in the place of our warden. It's kind of sad. I think that even as a best friend, he'll sacrifice himself for the warden if you have a high affinity with him and if you've refused the morrigan ritual.

[@iorenidiaz8693]

@@Serafina_ aw that's so sad I didn't know! I actually had to re load my last save and made Anora queen so he wouldn't dump me lol

[@Serafina_]

@@iorenidiaz8693 "spoil" To have a good ending with alistair, in general, you have to accept the morrigan ritual, otherwise one of the two warden is obliged to sacrifice himself, it's annoying, otherwise you can sacrifice loghain but that's another story. I can't leave Loghain alive after all the harm he's caused. Anyway, this game is really great, there are so many possibilities.

[@AuntKiki81]

Right now, I'm playing as a female human mage, but I think I want Alistair to stay a grey warden for this particular playthrough I'm doing. I may do others. Can I have my Warden and Alistair stay together as Grey Wardens?

[@abhinavpandey3072]

Yes make Anora, Queen and kill Loghain. If you pardon Loghain, Alistair will leave wardens.

[@victoriasharpe1661]

Yep you just need to support Anora in the landsmeet, kill Loghain and do Morrigans ritual. You’ll both live and both remain grey wardens and journey off together.

[@lizarddagger3826]

But you'll regret that choice in DA:I 😂

[@Katie9910]

poor alistair looked like a kicked puppy breaking up with the warden i wish he would ask you to marry him instead of breaking up if you don't choose to be queen at the landsmeet xD

[@daveydsurveys]

Could someone please tell me the name of the armor Alistair is wearing in this scene? It's perfect and I don't think I've come across it yet.

[@shepardcousland]

yup, you can stay with him. If you are a female noble like my PC here, you could marry him and become queen. If your PC is not, you could stay with him if you harden him and choose the right dialog options. I just chose the options here that would make him break up with you by default.

[@izuminaota5592]

Wow really~? that's AWESOME!!! ^^ thanks for the info, I can use that for my fanfic. Thanks a lot! ^^

[@LovelyQyla]

ç.ç I have a mage elf and I'm soooo surprise by this thing...there is no way to avoid it?ç.ç it is so sad ç.ç.

[@hestia4719]

can you avoid the break up??

[@GangStalker17]

Dont be an elf, dwarf or, man

[@cindystein-turner9505]

+Z. Hestia yes you can avoid it by picking specific conversation options there is a video that shows you what to say

[@abhinavpandey3072]

Yes absolutely I have played female warden only twice. My human noble married a hardened Alistair with right dialogue option.

[@victoriasharpe1661]

Yes you can be together with him regardless if he’s king or remains a grey warden, and regardless of your race so long as you’re female: simply by choosing the right dialogue choices in this scene. Along the lines of (nobody can force the king to do anything he doesn’t want to) but only if you harden his personality. Then as king he’ll claim he can do whatever he wants and you can continue the relationship. Obviously he’ll still have to marry, but you’ll remain by his side as his mistress/lover. So in a way, there’s no good option really unless you don’t make him king. Otherwise you’ll have to share him with another woman and can’t be romantic with him in public. You’ll be his dirty little secret another words

[@templarfrost]

Alistair is .... oddly similar to Bear Grylls from Man vs. Wild. Look him up. Ex. British SAS, irishborn Englander. I'm straight as a pin and can't deny the guy is hot, and could be Alistair's brother lmao. I have a bro-crush on him.

[@shepardcousland]

you could if you choose not to be queen. in short, you will have to decide to be queen in the landsmeet because he will not propose to you.

[@tigersenamon]

...I nearly cried. ;_;

[@kondmac]

Ok so if you have everything right and if you marry him and you become queen and king and you told him to impregnate morrigan dose that possibly mean that your character and Alistair are still going to have a child?

[@0rubirose0]

crap. im WAY too far past that point to go back and harden Alistarir. *sob*

[@124Nightwing]

Is this only after you harden Alistair? Is there no way to stay with him after the Landsmeet other than becoming his Queen-Consort?

[@JThom529]

124Nightwing it’s if you didn’t harden him

[@victoriasharpe1661]

He’s unhardened here. You need to choose the ‘everybody is out for themselves’ dialogue on his personal quest to get him hardened and so he’ll accept you as his lover

[@redwolfofdarkness]

will he break up with me if im not a human noble so should i just make a human noble account then?

[@SoKawaii2]

aww, so sad :( i hope this doesnt happen in my playthrough, does this scene always occur after you make Alistair king? and is it possible to convince him to stay together with you ?

[@xlivexfastx1]

*flails* so sad ):

[@Milu0000000]

Probabely no, because you are both Grey Wardens. The taint makes it hard to have a child with normal preson and for two tainted its almost impossible.

[@sweetdreams961]

why alistair :((

[@Milu0000000]

Grey Warden can have children with normal person. In the Calling said grey warden got pregnant with man not carrying the taint. It's just almost impossible for TWO Grey Wardens to have children together.

[@Mezzy3323]

Damnit, I hope you can stay with him, i've been working so hard to get his love up!!! This sucks lol.

[@ElloaWendy]

I was sooooo mad at Alistair when this happened. I really felt betrayed. "I need a woman to have my heir. You are tainted by the darkspawn!" Good I had saved my game before the speech to Anora. I felt that something wrong could happen from this diaologue. So I just considered this scene as the ominous nightmare of my character. The morning, when she wakes up, she take her final descision to support the Queen. And everything goes as they should be :"Alistair is the king and I rule beside him"

[@shadowkiki777]

thats sad >.

[@SoKawaii2]

Oh okay I see, but would this occur if I'm still playing as a female human noble? cuz thats what i am :D

[@Calamityx95]

We got married. He didn't mention that to me after the landsmeet?!! Even though i made him a king!
