Last edited: Apr 29, Paracelsi , Apr 30, In case you're interested how this turned out: I reloaded to a point before leaving for the Landsmeet.

Told Anora the marriage wouldn't come to be. I justified this in roleplaying terms as going back on an inequitable deal arranged by my Warden and backtracking even on Alistair's own subsequent acceptance of which Anora had not been made aware yet. The problem was that she wanted to rule while keeping Alistair as a figurehead co-king sort of thing while being his at least equal in right to the throne.

And that my Warden could not justify supporting. In the end, I realized this was the position I'd taken originally, before thinking about ways of saving my warden for the DLCs. According to what Loghain said before ordering my warden's arrest, the Landsmeet had decided against us. However, the vote saw only two of the named, speaking nobles support Loghain, the rest more voted for the Wardens, and the dialogue option in Response to Eamon's, 'this doesn't look well,' was, 'but nothing has been decided,' which I selected.

And then the dialogue changed, as the main attention focus was on Alistair, and I decided a warrior king should not fight through a champion. After Alistair won, I was given no say regarding Loghain's life, and I certainly didn't like BioWare imposing its own scripted view on me by making my warden nod his head at Alistair. However, the 'hush, Anora, daughters are always etc.

What followed was an extrajudicial execution of a yielded opponent, but it wasn't as bad as Al throwing a tantrum and insisting on being allowed to order an execution while visibly out of control of his emotions. On the other hand, this was was a more clearly extrajudicial execution than the one that followed when you chose Alistair above Anora and… weren't allowed a say in his decision to kill Loghain, and the warden was still depicted as nodding his head to the execution.

What was particularly satisfying was seeing Anora reveal her treacherous ways, leaving no doubts or qualms deciding against her.

I did like the other version, with winning the debate, telling Loghain to surrender peacefully, with him turning against the Landsmeet but afterward saying a bunch of lines that showed a better side of him — understanding why needed to die, calming Anora, saying he was ready to see the Maker knowing he was leaving Ferelden in capable hands, that sort of thing.

It's hard for me to choose between the two versions here. My metagaming opinion was to have your Warden marry Anora and become king I think that is the only way for it to happen. Depending on your decision with the ritual Alistair would either die a hero or carry on as a Grey Warden. Metagaming for me but the only reason I'd start as a cousland is to see if I could end up king.

Hey, your warden could marry Anora to be king and visit a brothel every weekend-the best of both options!! As for feeling like hardening Alistair was cheating.. But then again the designers of the game wanted to make sure they made a game where only certain lines even if they were over the top made an impact.

Plus to be sure the game made you feel the consequences even if the consequences were initially hidden from when you made a decision. As a side note I take as the Landsmeet approving who would be king. Pardon me for mentioning a different game, CK2, but an elective monarchy has nobles of a certain level or higher vote in anyone with a claim that they approve of not necessarily the person with the best claim.

So a weak claim Anora is still supported simply because the Landsmeet likes her so much. Having a claim gets you through the door, then they pick who gets the best chair. Also Loghain was more than a knight. He may not have a long family history but he may have been one of the few Terns prior to the old king dying.

If you are a mage, or other-than human noble female you still can marry alistair if you have the 'Anyone can marry alistair' mod If you are a female warden you can still be in a relationship with Alistair even if you don't marry him or if he marries Anora You can marry him off to Anora he hates it but can be persuaded You can either kill Loghein, or not, Alistair cannot do it or Anora won't marry him.

You can have him rule alone You can go off and be Grey Wardens together You can have him leave the wardens and go off and be a drunk in the Free Marches. Would help to know what kind of Warden your PC is I just wish there had been an option to murderknife Anora.

My PC is a Male warrior. I think its called male noble? I was just wondering if there would be any changes gamewise other than dialog depending on who would I choose. But, Anora is Logain's daughter right? Wouldnt making Anora queen make Logain win? Even if you kill him? User Info: Shagronicus. I would just follow your gut, especially if this is your first play through which it sounds like it is.

A lot of the fun in this portion of the game comes from looking at the choices your character has made up to this point, then following through with them. My first character absolutely despised Loghain and would not let his daughter anywhere near the throne, so Alistair ruled alone. In my second playthrough, Loghain's plan actually appealed in a small way to my Warden, so Anora ended up on the throne. My third time through I reconciled the two of them and had them marry.

Oh, and if you're a male Human Noble There are really no "wrong" choices here, just go with the choice you like the most. More topics from this board Sten, the Camp Prisoner, is an enemy to Ferelden! Good Order to get through the story? I mean you killed Loghain so Alsitair has no reaosn to leave, Anora might want him dead but you can talk her out of it without even passing a persuasion check. I have never tried this though, it could be that you cant give the crown to Anora after slaying Loghain.

More like Stupei, Ace Defective. User Info: jantoniozz. On my first playthrough I chose Anora and here's why. Alistair insists that he doesn't want to be king that he just wants to be a Grey Warden then when you choose to not kill "Loghain" he has a cow.

He says he wants to be king but not for the right reasons just so he can kill Loghain. Which in my mind I found stupid and selfish. So I decided to let him go. User Info: ShadySpecimen. I picked anora for queen, and alistair said 'phew I didn't even want to be king' and anora never mentioned wanting him executed.

In the epilogue it said he and I rebuilt the grey wardens and alistair built a memorial to duncan. I'm pretty sure anora only calls for alistair's execution if he makes the killing blow against loghain
