I don’t think morden phases of life apply to medieval fantasy and it's more of a cultural/character difference. Leliana for example, who also a spy/assassin and came from Orlais, seems pretty open about these things too despite being about the same age as Alistar, Warden, and Morrigan.
@@nemodra4790 It's not about "modern" phases, or cultures. It's about maturity. Which is universal, regardless of time or fictionality (literally the limit of how much experience a person can physically have, and how much they can possibly learn from that), and from there deeply individual. Leliana, Zevran, Morrigan and also most versions of the Warden are forcibly matured by trauma/abuse/neglect, which makes the contrast of Alistair somehow not being that all the more noticeable. I'm not making an assumption about there being a correlation between maturity and ability to speak of intimacy, even if there is that. Alistair is behaving very childishly. Also the comment was more about the misplaced, childish size=maturity thought, which I think also is furthered by Zevran being a squishy rogue, who complains, and Alistair being a frontliner/tank.
@@alirak9261Who knows, maybe fem Warden asked Morrigan for some magic in, uhhhh, such matters. If Fiona gave a birth to Alistair despite being a Grey Warden, then not all is lost :O

So happy to see new people coming to origins. It will forever be my favourite dragon age (and bow thanks to BG3) my second favourite game ever. It has ruined all other dragon age games for me 😅 finally finished 2 10 years later and making my way through inquisition and all I can think about is my Warden, and how worried Alistair apparently is and being sad about it. If you're on pc there is a mod called rune of banter, if you want to get through the ones with companions you don't travel with as often.
@@CakeandCosplay omg thank you, for the comment and the mod recommendation! It's been so fun finally getting to play Origins and I see why it's so beloved! I'm so attached to my Warden bc I really feel like I get to play her my way rather than saying yes 3 different ways. Even with different origins, the character feels so different and it's easier to imagine replaying and having those playthroughs feel unique!!!I've been wanting to play the first two DA games for a long time bc i played Inquisition completely blind from DA a few years back, and then got into the lore and the series in general. The last few months I guess, I got the brainworms of dragon age and started up inquisition, and was able to buy the first two while they were on big sale! I'm playing through inquisition again, but this time I have the one w/ the dlc! And it's made it better replaying dai, with more knowledge or experience of the other games! But even though I've had less time with origins, I'm so connected with it 🥺 I also really want to play bg3 but I only have a laptop that's not awful but I don't know how likely it'll play the game well 😅 but from what I've heard, I think I'd really enjoy the game! And I can't wait to see when I can play and how I'll end up playing it!
@@CakeandCosplay omg sorry to comment again but I wanted to say SAME ABOUT ALISTAIR!!! If these two don't get mentioned in Veilguard then I'm pretending they found the cure and they're living happily again bc!!!! I'm devasted! That silly man deserves his happily ever after or else I'll have to intervene
@@kermiethefroggy17 that is how I'm getting through inquisition 😅 of course I'm sending letters to my husband, what do you mean game >:( It occurs to me if it wasn't for awakening I probably wouldn't be so miffed. But they added all these story relevances that tie in to inquisition and then just leave you hanging. But bring in characters we could have done without. Especially frustrating if you married king Alistair, Fereldan and Orlais nearly at war again, unrest etc. And if you were playing a good warden you bet your ass they'd be trying to sort things out as well as figure cures out. And smacking the orlesian wardens upside the head for their stupidity
@@CakeandCosplay exactly!!! I really wish king Alistair could've visited for a little bit!!! We had a whole bunch of orlesian nobility and politics, but couldn't do a lil for fereldan 😣?? Because I want to talk to him!!! But keeping him as a warden makes the fade choice way more heartbreaking!! But why does that mean I can only see him ONCE at redcliffe 😫
please make zefran and shale's animation... the one where zefran tell shale about what he considers as beauty and his remarks about each party member's beauty... the cutest part was the remark about alistair, where zefran said it would be the task of champions to make alistair hop border, to which alistair (innocently and misguidedly) reply that he would gladly hop borders if given the chance, and that he never left ferelden
My god, your art is PERFECT. The way I could just imagine the entire game in your art is absolutely breathtaking, you capture them so perfectly its incredible
I _loved_ Zevran when I was playing DAO for the first time and was wholly intent on romancing him. Until I later realised he sounded like Juandissimo from Fairly Odd Parents. And I couldn't go through with it...I kept imagining Zevran whisper "mucho mucho sexy" at the end of the romance 😭
Обожаю этот момент, он меня всегда так радует, я когда впервые услышала, визжала от радости. Просто этот разговор не о том что у Алистера что-то не получается, а о том, что он немного нервничает и переживает каждый раз со своим партнёром серым стражем, а слушать Зеврана не захотел, потому что стесняется. Обожаю этих мальчиков😂❤
He is?? I picked him on my first playthrough and got my heart broken. Maybe people found out that you can't get a real fairytale happy ending with him unless your character is quite specific?
@@theswisswereright on my first playthrough, my warden dated alistair, but after a while, suddenly wyne shows up and asked my warden (rogue city elf) if she is serious about alistair or just playing, because wyne is concerned that if my character is just playing around, alistair would be too innocent to understand that kind of relationship (did she say that because the warden was a rogue?)... after that i have my warden ended her relationship with alistair and dated zefran
@@dohndabe3472I don't think anyone with half a brain will take your joke quite that seriously. Besides, its merely preference. Some people loathe both. Such as myself. They are occasionally amusing, but the otherwise annoy me.
Not really? They have some superficial similarities, but their approach to life is so different. Zev is way more upbeat, despite also having a bleak life. His attitude is pretty much 'life is short and awful, so enjoy it while you can' whereas Astarion is like 'I deserve to be evil and vengeful because I suffered!!!'. I mean I actually do enjoy Astarion's bitchiness and emo-ness, but those things are kind of the exact opposite of Zevran.
@@foxfire9320 I think you hit it on the head, yeah. :) To his credit, Astarion does lighten up a lot once he really starts to trust you (or if you romance him), but yes, Zevran comes across as snarky while (early) Astarion is much more mean-spirited.

It seems like something I’d see out of a fantasy anime, very well done.
I mean, there was a Dragon Age Movie about Cassandra once....
But a short DA Anime could be cool.

Lol at the end this is why Alistair is our cinnamon roll.
Never saw this. Always Morrigan and Alistar though.
Alistair is young adult and Zevran is not only older than him but also... He is Zevran.
SUBSCRIBED :) (THESE ANIMATIONS ARE AMAZING!! I LOVE DRAGON AGE SO MUCH LOL)
The Veilguard could never, Inquisition barely could
He's way outta line but he's right.
love this!!!!!
I will never understand how Alistair is the least romanced character in this game 😅
What? That can't be true. After Lels and Morrigan maybe, but surely he's more popular then Zevran???
He is?? I picked him on my first playthrough and got my heart broken.
Maybe people found out that you can't get a real fairytale happy ending with him unless your character is quite specific?
What, no waaaaay. Just by looking at YT videos and comments Alistair is 2nd most popular romance, next to Morrigan.
He's adorable and loyal and sweet! He makes me laugh and smile. Those are the qualities I like in a man :D
