Yeah, but you have the issue then of Goldanna, how he ends up with Eamon, Loghain lying...

There's just so much confusion. Probably because "The Calling" tried to retcon Alistair's entire past. But his past does sort of make sense. A king + a servant = a royal bastard. And it's not hard to see both Loghain and Eamon being resentful of Alistair because of what his mere existence represents as far as Rowan goes.

I'm also always a bit curious about the Loghain + Rowan thing. I mean, as much as it's supposed to be "tragic romance", if Anora is supposed to be "nearly 30" by Ostgar, he didn't spend much time pining for her.

I mean, you figure that even if "nearly 30" = 28, then Loghain goes on his journey back to find Alis (let's say a few months there), finds some woman, and gets her knocked up within...like, a year? I'll admit that this 1) probably wasn't very well thought out, and 2) probably implies that Anora wasn't 100% intended. But it's still hard to see someone mourning his great tragic romance, and getting another woman pregnant in <2 years.
