Re: dragon age: inquisition spoilers

Haha, I feel like I'm the only DA fan who felt Alistair's death in DA:I was really fitting.

I feel like it's kind of the ultimate end to Alistair's character arc. He starts out a fucked up kid, becomes a good-hearted but indecisive and fairly incompetent warden who spends much of DA:O second-guessing The HoF but not actually DOING anything about it. He gets a lucky break and doesn't have to sacrifice himself or do anything beyond be The Warden's comedic sidekick.

I feel like at some point after the blight he must have realized it was time to grow the fuck up, because he opposes Clarel and tries to stop the plan. He makes it clear he'll stop them even if Hawke and the Quizzy don't help. Origins!Alistair would have bitched and moaned a bit but he wouldn't have actually acted against the wardens.

So Alistair finally comes into his own, and his final act is being a Warden. Saving others at the cost of his own life. Not just being a nice but ineffective king. Not being cute and funny while Anora and/or Cousland and/or the HoF do all the work. He finally becomes what he's idealized all these years.

Not just being a nice but ineffective king.

Well, that's partially why I never made him King...I didn't think he would be good at it. (Sorry, Ali.)

IA with most of what you say in that I like him opposing Clarel, and I definitely think he's at his 'strongest' when he does that. That's how I wanted Ali to turn out.

My issue is that it doesn't feel too unique for him to do that because if you don't have Ali it's Stroud or Loghain, so his actions feels a bit copy-paste.

I mean, look...I don't want Alistair to die. That's just how I am; I love him, in most my playthroughs I would do anything to prevent it.

But in general I don't have anything against characters I love dying if the scene is well written, if it makes sense, etc. I don't hate that Thane died (even though I romanced him and adored him) or that Mordin died; those deaths worked.

If Ali had to 'potentially' die in DAI, I would've rather his 'death' been entirely unique, not the same as Hawke's or Stroud's or Loghain's.

That's kind of nit-picky I guess, but hey.
