Either way, you have to fight him at least once. Depending on how you play, that can end up being a huge brawl as everyone in the room fights on two sides, then a one on one fight, or just the one on one fight.
I put the PC version to the test, myself, and I was able to become king and keep Alistair so long as his personality wasn’t hardened (see below for full details.)Īll of this happens at the Landsmeet where you fight with Loghain one way or another. If I ever have the chance, I’ll see for myself. According to the WIKI the whole quest may be bugged for a male Warden to become king, but I have no way of testing this. Updated 11-21-10: Added information on persuading Anora and Alistair to marry before the Landsmeet (very bottom of the page.) Also found out there may be a bug involved for the Male Warden on the XBoX and PS3. I decided this was long enough that I’d make it a post of it’s own. If you’re trying to decide who to put on the throne, you might find this post helpful.
