      Yeah He did a great job bu then this is one thing where I'd give Bioware a lot of praise they know what makes a good VA for their characters as I think in both the Dragon Age and the Mass Effect series they have always had great characters with good VA's behind them even the villains are well done

The simple fact is you either care so much for yourself or so little for your partner that any pain they endure is irrelevant as long as you get your way. Why should your partner be forced to sacrifice their happiness for yours? and if they disobey then what? youll leave? start looking for someone better? then feel perfectly justified because "they didnt love me enough". Well ive got news for you that isnt love people generally have empathy towards people they love. what you are doing is using people.

    I can't think of a more difficult position for Alistair to be in.
    If he doesn't go through with the ritual, then either he or the woman he loves dies as a result of them slaying the Archdemon.
    But if he does do it, then not only will he have to be unfaithful to that love (albeit with her permission) and do it with a woman he hates, but that union will produce a child whose full purpose we don't know yet, which could well be disastrous in the long run.
    Plus, having been trained as a Templar, Morrigan's ritual, which she herself admitted to being close to blood magic, would be inherently despicable to him
    I do not envy him one bit.

    • @Coratlan
      @Coratlan 9 лет назад +75

      Lo .Sconosciuto I meant father as in be the biological father of a bastard, not raise a child. Because that's what He DIDN'T want. He didn't want to leave a child fatherless like his father left him. He told himself if he ever had kids he would constantly be there for them no matter what. But with Morrigan taking the child away that child grows up without a father, it'd be breaking what Alistair vowed he wouldn't let happen.

    However, Alistair is very much still in love with you and if you let him take the final blow, he can give you his final love speech for you.
