...WHAT JUST HAPPENED?

So I've had Leliana stealth romance me countless times. In fact, it's what she's good at, but right now I am staring at Alistair's character screen and going D:

Adhara was just stealth romanced by Alistair. Tesni has been sneak!kissed by him countless times and it has always ended badly, but this Alistair appears to be an emotional masochist, because when she told him she wasn't interested he a) approved, and b) decided they're a couple anyway. My poor stuffy Dalish is hiding in a corner, clutching a rose she didn't want, going  ಠ_ಠ. Every time she tries to talk to him he goes "yeeeeees?" and her options are "Let's bone!" or "Let's break up!"

"But I just let him down!" she says. "I don't even know why he gave me the rose! I threatened to kill him!"

Knowing my luck she'll break up with him again and he'll fall from "care" to "love." AUGH.


Has this happened to anyone else? Share your fun/traumatic Alistair sneak romance stories.

Well, I had this issue with my human male mage. I had left FreeLove loaded without knowing it. I had turned off Polygamy and was romancing Zev (come on, you know me...).

Anyway, in Redcliff, when Big Al told me his secret, I was supportive. When we went to Denerim and confronted Goldana, he hit on me outside. It was subtle; I didn't quite catch on (apparently, my mage can be a little naive).

So, we get back to camp and I get the "let's fuck" forced dialog from Big Al.

My PC was all "WTF"?

I kept reloading prior saves to see where he changed his approval and found it had happened in Redcliff. I searched my loaded mods, saw FreeLove on and turned it off.

Reloaded the save before Redcliff, and he STILL ninja romanced me. It appears enough flags had been set for this particular PC that Al wanted him too badly to give him up. Eventually, I reloaded Polygamy and FreeLove and romanced the hell out of everyone. I decided to let this particular PC kill himself at the end of the game.

The funeral was rather interesting. Out of all the companions I romanced, and even though Big Al was going to make my human male his Queen Consort (buwaaahahahahaha), Leliana was highlighted as the one that loved my Warden.

I let the prologue roll and deleted the character. No sense trying to resurrect this disaster for DLCs or expansions.

Oh, also, if you romance everyone with Polygamy on, you can get some of the best jealousy companion banter! I thought Leliana and Morrigan were gonna duel, their banter was pure venom at one point.

Polygamy only turns off companion reactions when you speak to them, it doesn't change the status of all relationships for companion banter. If you want to see all of your companions fight over you, load Polygamy and Easy Love, give everyone their gifts, romance the hell out of all, then run through Orz a few times to trigger banter. Great fun to be had, I assure you.
