Mod to have both Alistair and Loghain in party

[raiden25]

Is it possible for anyone to do a modification that will prevent Alistair from leaving the party if you have Loghain undergo the joining?

 

Obviously there are mods that add followers, so I guess it should be possible that if you have Loghain undergo the joining instead of having Alistair leave, have the game run a script to keep Alistair and simply "add in" the new follower, which is Loghian.

 

The main problem I could see arising is the dialogue trigger right before the slaying of the archdemon. The mod would either have to dictate which dialogue is triggered (one with Alistair, or one with Loghain), or modify the existing dialogue to encompass the new possibilities.

 

Is this doable? It seems odd that there isn't a mod for this already, as I know I'm not the only one that's desired to sacrifice Loghain without having to lose Alistair from the party.

You can add Loghain after killing him at the landsmeet using a console command and you can have them both in the party. The problem with the console command is they both stand in the same spot in camp and in the party picker, which is most annoying, you can take them both on to the roof but the game obviously recognises that Loghain is supposed to be dead and without the DR Alistair will still make the US, unless you leave him at the gate or use the 'party picker' mod to swap them out before going on the roof.

 

If you don't get your mod, you could use the console as a work around.

True, but I wonder if it would work the other way around (adding Alistair after he leaves).

 

Interesting that there hasn't been a mod made for this that could at least have them stand around in different places, or let you choose which of the 3 wardens makes the US.

I'm sure you can add Alistair after he leaves, but the game would probably register he has left and he wouldn't be in the epilogues other than the wandering drunk or standing in the throne room, so no King, wedding or happy endings. The only reason I bung Loghain in at the end is so I can refuse the DR and get L to do the US, leaving me to be Queen or march off into the sunset and build the GW's with Alistair.

 

Bioware or someone didn't want us to have more than THE 2 wardens it's as simple as that, they wanted people to make a choice which made them happy always thinking they were on their way to live happily ever after and then BAM it was 'frog time' how the script writers must have laughed over coffee and doughnuts :verymad: .

Oh yes. On the BSN the writers (especially Mary Kirby and David Gaider) pop in with some frequency. They've already explained that they make their coffee from the tears of the fans: the saltier, the sweeter the brew! :laugh:
