"I am the son of a star-struck maid and an indiscreet man who just happened to be king."

The second time I played Dragon Age: Origins I told Anora she could be Queen and everything was fine.

I then proceeded to let Alistair fight Loghain because he was more emotionally invested in this whole thing than my Warden ever was (and it felt more satisfying to the narrative.)

Alistair then proceeds to kill Loghain and declare himself King despite everything I've done to prevent it.

I just decided to roll with it.

But then he had the nerve to not only act like I made him do it and I'm like-- Alistair, friend, you made this choice without any direct user input from me.

This was, in fact, one of the only choices you've made on your own!

Alistair: So, Shale... when you were standing there all that time? Did you... sleep?

Shale: I have no need to sleep. My body does not tire or do—ugh—other flesh-related functions.

Alistair: But don't you get bored? Wouldn't you want to dream, at least?

Shale: I do not dream. This is what it does when it sleeps? It paws its nose and mumbles incoherently.

Alistair: Yes, of course. I thought we all—huh... you watch me?

Shale: I watch all closely when they are still at night. There is little else to do.

Alistair: For... hours and hours?

Shale: I count the breaths. it helps to overcome the overwhelming urge to crush their faces while they sleep.

Alistair: Well. I won't be doing much of that anymore.

Two words... “Deep Roads”

Stone and death and darkspawn and spiders and deep stalkers and everything’s gray except Alistair’s blushing cheeks because Wynne just called him out on watching my Warden’s ‘swaying hips’ when I lead the way.

Okay, maybe the Deep Roads aren’t so bad after all. :)
