Re: Pairings That Fandom Soured For You

Background:

1. Alistair can marry Anora, widow to the previous king, or Cousland Warden.
2. You can give gifts to your companions to increase their like of you.
3. You can port your character into the expansion, Awakening, and see some specific decisions you made in Origins.

So, in Awakening, there's this gift, a snow globe, commemorating a royal marriage. One player, knowing her Warden and Alistair had wed and upon seeing the word 'marriage' was delighted until she saw a hateful word: Anora. Blinded with rage, she goes onto the BioWare Forums, and posts at the sheer NERVE of BioWare and how wrong it was, and how dare they change her story and canon!

Except the snow globe was actually for Cailan, the previous king, and Anora's wedding. It made no mention of Alistair.

So the lead writer of the franchise, David Gaider, makes a bewildered post, finally snarking "Alistair never loved you". It was a really great example of Alistair's obsessed fangirls, and was even commemorated by a fan who gave David Gaider a snowglobe that read "Alistair never loved you".

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, I remember that snow-globe but I never believed it had anything to do with Alistair. Reaching, fandom. Think for a minute before you freak out.

In this context "Alistair never loved you" is beautiful.
