"... utter hypocrisy he displays at the Landsmeet..."

Stopped reading right there. I couldn't take anything you said in the secret seriously, because of that line. Anyone who says this doesn't know nearly enough about his character, I'm sorry.

Word.

It's called "writing nuanced characters" and unlike some companies who shall remain nameless, Bioware is good at it. Is he a perfect character? No. Because perfect characters are boring.

Come on, now.

THANK YOU. ILU. I was pretty much just like "Whatever" at the secret until I read THAT LINE. Then I was like WTF NO. Pay attention to the character a little bit.

Hahaha, clearly, I take DA too seriously. XD

Om nom nom Alistair. That's pretty much the only thing I have to say about that. XD I dunno, I liked him cos he's pretty adorable, and not only in the looks sense. Oh and his sarcasm cracks me up completely. Saying that though, I'm juuuust before the Landsmeet, so I may lower my opinion of him after that, if it's quite obviously bad. Although considering how much I <3 him... maybe not. XD

Alistair is not whiny, and his view of Loghain is hardly hypocritical and makes a ton of sense (Don't try to pretend Loghain isn't morally abhorrent, at the least). David Gaider's defended him better than I could, though.

[identity profile] kiraya.livejournal.com 2010-02-19 01:18 am (UTC)(link)
I find him adorkable. Haven't done the Landsmeet yet, so couldn't say, but... eh.

Said it before and I'll say it again, I was nice to Al right up til I realized he was the love interest. My heart will always belong to Morrigan, anyway, and not just because she looks like Lulu and sounds like Vala.

(Anonymous) 2010-02-19 01:37 am (UTC)(link)
Maybe I played it differently but Alistair didn't display any hypocrisy in the Landsmeet in my game.

He claimed he didn't want to be king, and he didn't become king. He claimed he hated Loghain (and why wouldn't he, after what Loghain has done to Duncan and Eamon?) and he killed Loghain. Where was he an hypocrite there?

[identity profile] archerstar.livejournal.com 2010-02-19 01:49 am (UTC)(link)
I'm with you here. I played through twice, romancing other characters, and he was awesome and bad ass at the Landsmeet. And then my Dalish elf was romancing Alistair...and we got to the Landsmeet and I innocently made him king, having been disillusioned by Anora. It didn't end well. Every play through since has had my character and Alistair hating each other.

[identity profile] kezaer.livejournal.com 2010-02-19 01:55 am (UTC)(link)
Bahaha, not to complain but there ARE other pics of Alistair than the lolnaked pic that everyone and their brother uses for secrets ;D

That said, the 'OMFG ALISTAIR ARE WHINY HYPOCRITE!!111' argument is so stale that I fail to see why this has to be a secret at all o_O

I, however, heart him to pieces <333~ You don't have to, nobody said not liking him was against the law XD

Seriously, I have yet to see an Alistair secret without this picture and part of me is like "pick another one already" but the rest of me is laughing. :P

[identity profile] thano.livejournal.com 2010-02-19 03:04 am (UTC)(link)
147. i just think he's adorable and he gets a few of the best lines in the game to boot

but that's just me

SPOILERS

[identity profile] need2speed.livejournal.com 2010-02-19 05:17 am (UTC)(link)
I like Alistair, but I agree about him fucking up at the Landsmeet. If he'd gotten the fuck over Loghain being alive for two more days, I could have sacrificed him for the ritual instead of having to do you know what to you know who.

STILL SPOILERS

[identity profile] purplesyrup.livejournal.com 2010-02-19 11:00 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm kind of confused by what you're saying. If you're talking about throwing Loghain at the Archdemon, then how was Alistair supposed to know that was the plan? In fact, how was the PC supposed to know that was the plan? Neither the PC nor Alistair know what it takes to kill the Archdemon until Riordan tells them at the last minute. Therefore Alistair has every right to be angry since the PC has allowed the man, whose betrayal caused the death of Duncan and all the other Grey Wardens, to live.

This. I like Alistair, but I get really annoyed at some of the obsessive fan-girling out there. I like him because I happen to like the voice actor (and I find him adorkable), but I made the mistake of hardening him and when we got the Landsmeet and I didn't make him king he seemed so sort of "thanks...I guess" that I wanted to slap him.

Bitch don't realise we do things my way in this game >:D

Of course, I'm a Wynne fan-girl, so my heart truly belongs to her.

[identity profile] queenoftea.livejournal.com 2010-02-19 06:37 pm (UTC)(link)
aaaaa wynne! i never, ever swap her out of my party, she is the best magic grandma

[identity profile] llrael.livejournal.com 2010-02-19 07:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Yay Wynne! It is my hope that when I grow old I will become somewhere in between Wynne and Granny Weatherwax.

[identity profile] phoeliac.livejournal.com 2010-02-21 02:21 pm (UTC)(link)
I was actually trying to think of an equivalent character in other media and Granny Weatherwax is perfect :D

[identity profile] antiva.livejournal.com 2010-02-19 02:06 pm (UTC)(link)
I like Alistair, but I find some other party members much more interesting. I just get annoyed at the creepily obsessed Alistair fangirls out there... but that's another story altogether.

I like dating him though, if only because you can make fun of his cheesy romancing abilities. rofl a rose, really.

[identity profile] queenoftea.livejournal.com 2010-02-19 06:37 pm (UTC)(link)
lol i know its so hilariously awful

[identity profile] llrael.livejournal.com 2010-02-19 07:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Aww. Personally, I can't see how anyone couldn't at least LIKE Alistair. He's so goofy and adorkable. And, like someone upthread, he didn't become king and he killed Loghain in my last run, so I fail to see how you can make such a sweeping statement. Sweeping is bad!

...that said, I remain firmly on Team Zevran. Anyone here care to join me? We have cookies and pirate innuendo.

[identity profile] purplesyrup.livejournal.com 2010-02-19 11:02 pm (UTC)(link)
Arrrr. X3

[identity profile] irvys-sefie.livejournal.com 2010-02-20 06:48 pm (UTC)(link)
I romanced Alistair my first playthrough, but on my second I went with Zev and ever since then I'm all about the Antivan. :)

I find him to be so sickenly sweet it hurts my teeth.

Sadly there is a girl I know who rants and raves about how OMG SHE'S ALISTAIR'S ONE TRUE LUV everytime we end up in a chat room together. It's sad to think she's so drawn in by a romantic & sappy man when not all blokes are like that IRL. I hate to see her face when she finally realises this.
