as we know i am in decisive. thoughts below, spoilers for the post landsmeet part of the game.

So. OOCly, I would've let Loghain live for the fuck of it [but that is very unlikely to happen, because that makes Alistair upset and Haldi is fond of Alistair and one of them should get vengeance for their father [figure]! And if he DOES get to live, then without a doubt Anora is gonna marry that boy bc Haldi doesnt need to worry about Alistair wandering around exiled and inebriated. So for sake of his liver and her not losing another brother figure ....]

BUT ICLY, as I said, Haldi will gank that homie. Plus she may not always agree with Bhelen, he has a point. Loghain cannot be allowed to live and his allies cannot be allowed not to find out after the nonsense.

SO. If when he dies, it is a matter of which --

On the one hand Alistair doesn't want to marry Anora OR be king. But Haldi would and could, ofc, convince him [whoo high coercion!]. She would feel bad about it. But life is sacrifice, it keeps him in his beloved Ferelden. She can come visit! It will help him grow up [in her mind]. Plus responsibility, duty, etc. He gets to be connected to his past [which is big deal for Princess Aeducan. After all he wanted to find his sister! So surely this works too!]

On the other, he'd be exiled -- but not done! .... one learns to live a way from home. And she could still get to see him. He'd probably be heartbroken but like, he's dealt with heartbreak before and at least he'd be doing what he wanted.

Icly, I feel Haldi leans most the first BUT she has been fairly consistent and, just in general, fair about the idea of things being people's choices. And his choice - unhindered - is not to be king.

So.

when you accidentally trigger a romance with your good bud bc your silly player didnt realize it was a romantic option until several moments after she clicked it.
