About this mod

Add an angsty cutscene after Riordan tells Alistair and the Warden what it takes to kill the Archdemon.

Permissions and credits
Alistair Romance: Fear

This mod adds a small cutscene after Riordan tells Alistair and the Warden what it takes to kill the Archdemon. Alistair puts on a brave face during the conversation with Riordan, and when you talk to him in his room afterwards, he tries to be cheerful. I made this cutscene to allow him a private moment of panic.

If Alistair is in love or still in love with a female Warden of any race, a candlestick will appear in the hallway opposite the Warden's room. Clicking the candlestick triggers the scene. You can watch it before talking to Morrigan or after or both, as many times as you like. However, I don't think it's possible to go into the hallway again if you send Morrigan away with a flea in her ear.


To install, please download the file, extract it and place it in your override folder.
Requirements for this scene to work are that Alistair is in love or still in love with you. Furthermore, you have to use a savegame from before you talk to Riordan. If you use a savegame from right after the conversation, the candlestick will not appear in the hallway, because its appearance is triggered by the Riordan conversation.


Compatibility
I added a line to the clipt_main.nss plotscript. The script that triggers the appearance of the candlestick is fired by the CLI_MAIN_RIORDAN_FINISHED_TALKING_IN_REDCLIFFE plotflag. If you have any mods that use the clipt_main file, they will conflict with this one. Let me know if that is the case and I'll see if I can find a solution.

Known issues
Some users have experienced the Warden's eyes popping open during the nightmare flashes. - I'm working on a fix.

If you are running into the "100 Adore" issue some players experience while using ARR, the mod will not trigger because it does not recognize that you and Alistair are in love. I added an alternative version of the mod for that case, which will trigger the appearance of the candle stick regardless of relationship status. If the mod still doesn't trigger correctly, please let me know.

Acknowledgements
My cutscene skills, such as they are, have grown under the nurturing wing of Kajana, who has also been the chief supplier of fodder for my Alistair obsession. Kajana, you are my sister in kink, and I hope this scene will work nicely with your Last Night/Dark Ritual scenes!

A big thank you to my lovely guinea pigs rosvitacousland, Nightwishmaria, Deadfang1, Cullenite and Kajana.

A huge thank you to SarahCousland for her endless patience in trying to find a way to get this mod to work with the "100 Adore" bug.

Finally, I would like to dedicate this mod to the memory of nancyferg. I deeply regret not telling her straight away how much I cherish her Grey Warden Weddings mod.
