If Alistair is in love with you and Morrigan's offer was not taken he will sacrifice himself for you whether you are in an active relationship or not. After he dumped my Surana I started her in a relationship with Zev and he still took the sacrifice for her.

The only way to keep him alive in that situation is to leave him at the gates.

Fuuuuuck. I'll try to every dialougue's options and I'll even try to send him far away from the archdemon with the position's options.Maybe it will work :'(

I'm pretty sure it won't. Like seren_bach said, you have to leave him at the gates.

I had the same experience my first time through Origins. Utterly destroyed me. It also made no sense, because I was playing an assassin Rogue and I was like "I could sucker punch him! Why the hell are you not allowing me an option to not let him sacrifice himself?!"

So although it technically requires leaving him at the gate to not have him die, my headcanon is the former. :P

Lmao I feel your pain and confusion.

David Gaider has said that if you think he's going to let the woman he loves die, you don't know Alistair very well. You can NOT talk him out of dying for you. You have to either a) not have him love you, b) take the Dark Ritual or c) leave him at the gates.

I know,thinking about it now it was just so silly of me bringing him there. I should have guessed he really would have never done it. But you know,after all throughout the game I've always managed to decide what to do for myself all the time.
I was not expecting that any options left would anyway lead to that :D
