Is it weird that I spent 50+ hours completing this game but don't remember who I made king and don't remember even making that choice? I have a bad memory for many of my experiences within video games, I think. Granted, it was quite a few years ago that I finished it.


Also never played 2 or 3 but I always heard the first was the best

There’s a couple of options: You can let Queen Anora stay the sole ruler. You can make Alistair King on the basis that he has royal blood. You can persuade Alistair and Anora to marry and rule together. And I think if you play a female human noble you can marry Alistair yourself and become Queen?

I always resented the way the game expects you to want Alistair on the throne. He doesn’t want it and isn’t fit to rule. Anora may only be Queen through marriage, but she’s at least competent. More so than her late husband or Alistair, at any rate.

The general consensus seems to be that the first one was the best, but it’s not unanimous, and some people prefer the newer games. I enjoy replaying the third one the most. And as a concept, I like the second one the most, as unpolished as it was. The first and third games are pretty standard fantasy "only you can save the world" fare. The second one's protagonist isn’t trying to fulfill a grand destiny, and in some cases ends up making things worse. For some, the fact that you can’t fix everything is another point against the game, and I get that it’s harshing the power fantasy, but I appreaciated it.

Yep, I very much appreciated and enjoyed the "local hero" type of feeling in the second game a lot.
