Possible Landsmeet Outcomes Edit

There are many different possible ways to resolve the Landsmeet and a variety of outcomes for the four main characters: Loghain, Anora, Alistair, and The Warden. You can control the resolution by decisions made before the vote and dialogue choices you make after defeating Loghain in the one-on-one duel. However, some options will be unavailable for some Wardens based on their origin.

Preparing for the Landsmeet Edit

Three optional actions prior to the vote will affect your options after the duel:

  • Alistair can be hardened by choices made during Alistair's Family.
  • The Warden can attempt to arrange a political marriage between Alistair and Anora at Arl Eamon's Estate after her rescue.
  • A Human Male Noble Warden may attempt to offer to marry Anora, also at the estate.

Critical Decision Points Edit

After defeating Loghain, you must decide whether to accept his surrender or kill him. If anyone except Alistair fights Loghain in the duel, Riordan will show up at the conclusion and offer a third option, to induct the former regent into the Grey Wardens. This is the critical branching point for the remaining dialogue. (Obviously, Anora and Alistair both have strong opinions on the topic.)

  • Branch A: “Riordian has a point, we should put him through the joining.”
  • Branch B: “No. Loghain has to die for his crimes.”

If Alistair duels Loghain (instead of the Warden), he will make the choice and kill the regent before Riordan has a chance to intervene. Anora will then reject marriage to Alistair, regardless of what might have been arranged earlier.

Branch A: Induct Loghain Edit

Branch A of the dialogue begins if you choose to induct Loghain into the Grey Wardens and you can no longer separate the remaining decisions: whether Loghain lives and who will rule Ferelden. If you support Alistair, Loghain dies; if you support Anora, he lives. Alternatively, if you arranged (at Eamon's Estate) for the possibility of a political marriage between them, the two rule jointly and Loghain will live.

Branch B: Kill Loghain Edit

Branch B begins if you choose to kill Loghain. With his death, the succession decision is less cluttered: you can arrange for Alistair, Anora, or both to rule with relatively few immediate consequences. However, if you want Anora and Alistair to rule together, you must execute Loghain yourself, and not have Alistair do it.

Possible Outcomes Edit

This is a list of all outcomes of the Landsmeet, covering royal succession and Loghain's life. (To avoid ambiguity, it includes permutations that are not possible no matter what choices are made.)

Outcomes Independent of Background Edit

These outcomes can be achieved regardless of The Warden's Race, Gender or Origin.

Loghain Anora Alistair Possible Necessary Actions
Lives Lives Rules Alone Nope.png
Lives Rules Alone Lives Yes.png Do not kill Loghain → Support Anora → Persuade her to spare Alistair. Result: Alistair leaves Grey Wardens and becomes a wandering drunk.
Lives Rules Alone Dies Yes.png Do not kill Loghain → Support Anora → Allow her to execute Alistair.
Lives Rules Jointly Rules Jointly Yes.png Do not kill Loghain → Persuade Alistair & Anora to marry (Alistair must be hardened, otherwise he will refuse). Result: Alistair leaves the Grey Wardens immediately to marry Anora.
Dies Lives Rules Alone Yes.png Kill Loghain or not → Support Alistair. If Loghain is not yet dead, Alistair will take care of it as his first kingly act.
Dies Rules Alone Lives Yes.png Kill Loghain → Support Anora. If Loghain dies, Anora — as sole ruler — will not execute Alistair (even if he kills Loghain); instead, she will ask him to renounce all claims to the throne.
Dies Rules Alone Dies Nope.png
Dies Rules Jointly Rules Jointly Yes.png Do not let Alistair fight the duel → Kill Loghain yourself → Persuade Anora & Alistair to marry (they must have agreed to this before the Landsmeet). Result: Alistair stays at Grey Wardens but postponed taking the throne until the Blight was ended.

Outcomes for Male Human Nobles Edit

If a Male Human Noble has worked out a marriage arrangement with Anora (at Eamon's Estate) -and- then at the Landsmeet proclaims that he will rule at Anora's side as her husband without personally killing her father beforehand, Anora will immediately step forward to accept the throne and declare the hero to be her husband, the King Consort, the General of her armies and the Hero who will save Ferelden from the Blight. She will then order the nobles at the Landsmeet to gather their forces and await the King Consort's command. The completed journal entry will also refer to him as king consort. Nevertheless she will tell him that he is only to be prince consort should the subject come up in a later dialogue with her during her coronation, and the epilogue slideshow will also refer to him as prince consort as well. The game is thus a bit inconsistent in this regard. These are the possible outcomes for Loghain and Alistair:

Loghain Alistair Possible Necessary Actions
Lives Lives Yes.png Do not kill Loghain → Marry Anora → Persuade her to spare Alistair.
Lives Dies Yes.png Do not kill Loghain → Marry Anora → Do not persuade her to spare Alistair.
Dies Lives Yes.png Allow Alistair to kill Loghain → Marry Anora → Alistair is automatically spared.
(If Alistair is hardened, then he will take the throne instead of allowing this outcome.)
Dies Dies Nope.png

Outcomes for Female Human Nobles Edit

Romantically involved female human nobles can arrange to marry Alistair outright; outside of a relationship, they can choose to enter into a political marriage. Either option requires high approval from Alistair and result in him becoming King.

Loghain Anora Possible Necessary Actions
Lives Lives Nope.png
Lives Dies Nope.png
Dies Lives Yes.png Kill Loghain or not → Offer to rule next to him (Alistair) → Loghain will be killed (if he has not already died).
Dies Dies Nope.png

Outcomes for Females Edit

Any females in a romantic relationship can remain at King Alistair's side as a lover, whether or not Anora becomes queen.

  • If Alistair has not been hardened, then he will break up the relationship (his sense of duty and propriety overrules his affection).
  • If Alistair has been hardened, he will decide that having a mistress will not interfere with his rule.

Outcomes for Non-Human Males and Human Mages Edit

Non-human males and male mages have no options to rule with Anora during the Landsmeet.

Notes Edit

  • Anora will always live. Regardless of your choices, Alistair will always opt to imprison her.
  • You can lose the "I will rule next to him/her" option as follows: The Warden arranges to marry Alistair (females) or Anora (males), but then fails to arrange for the two royals to marry each other during Branch A. In other words, you cannot match Anora with Alistair and keep the option for the Warden to marry.
  • If a hardened Alistair executes Loghain, he will assume the throne without question and end further dialogue on the topic.
  • A female noble Warden cannot become queen and rule alone. Even if Alistair is made king, the Warden made queen, Anora is locked up, and Alistair is sacrificed to the Archdemon, it will still be Anora who is crowned at the end of the game.
