📋 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:

_______________________________________________________________________________

The following are conditions for Alistair's Nightmare to trigger when the Warden is Alistair's

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.

_______________________________________________________________________________

Romance version:

_______________________________________________________________________________

The following are conditions for Alistair's Nightmare to trigger when the Warden is Alistair's

romantic partner:

1. Alistair approval above 90 in love

2. Completed Sacred Ashes Quest

3. Slept (snuggled) with Alistair in the tent at least once

When all above conditions are met, the scene will trigger the next time the Warden chooses

to snuggle with Alistair 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:

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Since it's an older mod, check for compatibility patches if you use other camp or dialogue mods.

  • If you're using a mod manager, you can still install manually by dropping the files into the override folder.
