The Guide to Becoming Queen
Since a lot of people have asked me about this, I've made a guide
SPOILERS BEYOND.
THE COMPHRENSIVE “HOW TO BECOME THE QUEEN OF FERELDAN WITH ALISTAIR AS YOUR KING-HUSBAND” GUIDE
By Jakia
1. Play as a Human Noble Female.
a. Alistair does not do men, sadly. We are still waiting for that mod.
b. Human Nobles are the only way to become Queen. You can still romance Alistair as an elf or a dwarf or a mage, but if you make Alistair King, he will break up with you unless you are a Noblewoman, because the council will not accept a peasant as their Queen. At least in my experience. If it is possible to become Queen and not be a noblewoman, please let me know/write your own guide
2. Max out your Persuade/Coercian skill
a. This is not the most important step in this process, but in my honest opinion it is a good option to take. The future King has a bit of a thick head, sometimes, and a little persuasion is always a good thing to have.
3. Get to 100% Approval with Alistair
a. There are many steps you can take to get to this point. In general, be a good person, spam him with gifts (he likes mystical runes and whatnot), do his sidequest, flirt with him, whatnot.
4. Sleep with Him
a. As much of a gentleman Alistair is, he is still A Man and Therefore Has Needs. He will not sleep with you unless you have him at 100% approval. Once you sleep with him, however, he basically considers you to be his soul mate. Moral of the story? If you want to be Queen, put out.
5. Prior to Landsmeet, Talk to Anora
a. Anora isyour lover-boy’s rival for the throne, and by the Maker does she want tocontinue to be Queen. When you speak to her, she will ask for your support. Tell her you want Alistair to be King instead.
When she asks why, tell her that Alistair is strong, brave, and a good man. She will accuse you of just wanting
to get in his pants and become Queen yourself. You can deny that if you want, but I didn’t. She will then comment that Maric’s boys are quite a catch, and then you two will be done talking.
6. Prior to Landsmeet, Talk to Alistair
a. He will express…concern over the fact that someone *hinthint* told Anora they thought he would be a good King. Tell him you think he would be great at being King, and throw encouragement after encouragement at him. If you are max persuade, you may even be able to do some further convincing. He should be by the end of the conversation where he still doesn’t want to be King…but he does want whatever is best for Fereldan, which is probably being king.
7. At Landsmeet, Kill Loghain
a. Alistair hates the man. You should too! Support killing Loghain for some quick bonus approval. Getting Loghain to be a Grey Warden will end up with Alistair leaving your party, and no one wants that.
8. At Landsmeet, Talk to Alistair
a. After killing Loghain, the nobles at the meeting
will want your opinion on who should rule.
Tell them you need to speak with Alistair first.
b. Alistair will still be reluctant to rule, but
having Anora betray you will definitely make him more willing to take the
throne. Reassure him some more.
9. Declare Alistair King, and You Will Rule Beside Him
a. Here is where having max-persuade really comes into play. When the council asks you who should rule, you will get the choice to say (persuade) “Alistair will be King, and I will rule beside him.”
b. Alistair will freak out momentarily, but it turns out he really likes the idea. After the Landsmeet, he will confirm your engagement and spout some loving lines your way.
10. Create a Demon Baby
a. At Redcliff, Morrigan approaches you with anoffer to save both you and Alistair.
Take it. If you do not, either you or Alistair will die against the archdemon. Reassure Alistair that you are okay with him cheating on you to save both of your lives.
11. Beat the Game and Become Queen
a. If you follow all these steps and beat the game, you become Queen. You and Alistair get married six months after the final battle. It’s as close to a happy ending as you get in this game. Congratulations!
FAQ:
1. I did this but I didn’t become Queen!
a. I am so sorry. I don’t know what else to tell you? These are the steps I’ve taken and they’ve worked for me.
2. Do I have to “harden” Alistair?
a. I didn’t. It might not hurt, though.
3. But I don’t want the demon-baby!
a. Then you or Alistair dies. The end!
4. But I don’t want to be Queen!
a. Then why did you read this guide on how to
become Queen?!
5. Why can’t my elf/dwarf/mage be Queen?
a. I haven’t tested it out myself, but I’ve been told it’s because you aren’t a noblewoman. Hardening Alistair may change that, but I personally haven’t tested it out.
6. Is there any other happy ending out there?
a. Sure there is! You can encourage Alistair to not be King, and the two of you can let Morrigan have her demon-baby and then go frolic in the countryside! It’s perfectly happy! I just like being Queen.
Hope this helps some you out there,
