You nailed it.

I did the ritual with my 'canon' M!Cousland Warden. I played him as a goody two-shoes gay dude who wasn't up for romance what with the blight and the recent death of his entire family. He was besties with Morrigan and agreed to it because he was afraid of what would happen to Ferelden after the archdemon was killed.

I made Loghain do the ritual when I played as a lady Warden, but the idea of making Alistair do the ritual if you romanced him is really awful to me. I understand people don't want their Warden or Alistair killed because it ruins the fairytale ending, but imo it's really shitting all over Alistair to force him into the ritual. It's basically rape-by-proxy because you can't handle being a Grey Warden.

Yup, that's pretty much how my first playthrough went, M!Cousland, didn't want to die or abandon Zevran, bit the bullet. So far I've never had Alistair do it. If my Warden is friendly with him, I bring the topic up with him because he has a right to know the option is there, but the relief he displays when my Warden lets him off the hook is pretty telling. If wishy-washy immature Alistair is able to put on his big-boy panties and risk death rather than resort to creepy sex magic, so can my Warden.

Dude it is not rape by proxy. It's coerced, yes, but Alistair has to agree to it, too. Morrigan is not the one threatening to kill either the Warden or Alistair. That circumstance is completely outside. All Morrigan is doing is offering a way out. She can literally not help that the ritual involves sex, and she forces no one, she explains the situation and asks for consent beforehand. If you don't do the ritual, one of you WILL die. I'd frankly much rather have sex with someone I can't stand than see me or my best friend (or lover) die. I think it's the most selfish to refuse the ritual if you're in love, because you're basically sentencing Alistair to die since he'll sacrifice himself, and even if he doesn't, he then has to lose you because you couldn't stomach one unpleasant thing that would let everyone leave happy. I mean, it's not a "fairytale ending", it's the most logical ending.

Which assumes the Warden taking Morrigan at her word. You don't see how that's not a 100% scenario?
