Alistair at The Pearl

Alistair at The Pearl

This mod allows the Warden to arrange an encounter at The Pearl for a non-romanced Alistair as long as they can convince him to participate.

I thought it sad that Alistair if not being romanced by the Warden could potentially die without ever having experienced the joys of intimacy. Or, even worse, his first experience with a woman could be with Morrigan, who he hates, or, perhaps even worse than that, Anora, the widow of his estranged half-brother who he marries for political reasons!

I created this scene for my Alistair's Revised Romance mod, but there were technical issues and thematic concerns. The end result being that only an abridged version of the scene made it into the mod. However, in revisiting the original scene, I felt that it would work well as a first intimate experience for a good chantry boy like Alistair. And given that he can be persuaded to perform the ritual with Morrigan, who he hates, without knowing its purpose if the Warden passes a similar approval and persuasion check as is requited for him to agree here, I thought that it would not be out of character for him to take part.

However, if this conflicts with your interpretation of the character or if someone purchasing a sexual encounter at such a place for a friend offends you, then please do not use the mod.

**************

To arrange the encounter for Alistair, speak with Sanga and select the new dialogue option. However, because of the limitations of the conversation editor, the option will appear even if Alistair is not in the party at the time. Alistair MUST be in the party when you select the option or the dialogue and scenes will not play correctly.

In order for Alistair to agree to partake of the offered services, he must be persuaded that this is a good idea by his friend, meaning that the Warden must pass both an approval and persuasion check before Alistair will agree. If either fail, Alistair will refuse to go through with it. The Warden can repeatedly try to convince him but once convinced the scene will play only once and then be unavailable. You only get one first time!

The mod works for all Wardens regardless of gender, race or origin. However, if the Warden and Alistair are in an active relationship, Alistair will flatly refuse to do this and will not even give the Warden a chance to convince him otherwise. It doesn't matter if the Warden is male or female, if the relationship is active, Alistair will refuse.

Otherwise, while Alistair will initially protest, the Warden will have the opportunity to convince his friend that this is a good idea. The Warden must b
