📋 About This Mod
A lore friendly dream scene add-on giving the player insight on the the possible thoughts, fears
and pain Alistair suffers within, while using the Dahlialynn's Sleep until Dawn mod.
Supports friendly (male or female) and romantic (female) relationships with Alistair
Background: (Spoilers)
Alistair has lost his close friend and mentor to a major battle due to what he believes is
Loghain's betrayal when he failed to send in promised troops for support. I attempted to
depict his inner pain/visions that may further explain his motivations during the game.
Conditions:
The Warden must be in a friendly or romantic relationship with Alistair. The scene is
designed to trigger as an unexpected event one night while resting in camp.
Friendship version:

good friend:
1. Alistair approval at 100 Friendship
2. Completed Sacred Ashes quest
3. Completed Alistair's personal Goldanna Quest
4. Slept in tent alone at least once
When all above conditions are met, the scene will trigger the next time the Warden chooses
to sleep alone in the tent.

Please note!
1. This mod requires the installation of Dahlialynn's Sleep until Dawn
2. The scene will not trigger if you have already begun the Landsmeet.
3. The last portion of the dream itself features vanilla Alistair.
4. In the event you wish to romance Alistair later in the game and view the romantic
version only, you may prevent the friend version from triggering by going to:

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 5,688 endorsements and 86,741 downloads
- Adds meaningful character depth for Alistair fans
- Lore-friendly, so it won't break immersion
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2013, so may have compatibility issues with newer game versions or mods
- Only adds a single scene, so it's a short experience
For Dragon Age: Origins players who love Alistair and want more character-driven content. If you're into lore-friendly expansions that flesh out companions, this is a must-have. Skip if you're looking for gameplay changes or large-scale overhauls.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's an older mod, check for compatibility patches if you use other camp or dialogue mods.
- Make sure to place the mod files in the correct override folder (usually Documents/BioWare/Dragon Age/packages/core/override).
- If you're using a mod manager, you can still install manually by dropping the files into the override folder.
