Yeah there's a clip on Youtube for both King Alistair and Alco Alistair. At what point in the game does the king turn up, anyone know?    

I don't recall exactly when it occurs. I know it is after you help Meredith find the 3 runaway mages. You may need to do Orsino's first quest as well. Sometime after that, there will be a letter at your house saying that the King wants to meet you. I don't think you can miss it, but I'm not sure. Just make sure to check your messages frequently.
 
Also, if you didn't make him King, and didn't make Loghain a Warden, he will briefly fight along side you at the end of Act Two.

I don't even recall bumping into him. Oh right that's because I was a dumbass and made Loghaine a Warden. Always thought about what was needed for the Wardens and not for Alistair... Fucking punk ran off with my Blood Dragon Armor.

Only person I saw was Leiliana a couple of times which was quite a shame. At least she confessed her love for the Warden so there was at least something that affected my DA2 game.

I remember the excitement I felt when I got the letter asking me to meet him in the Keep! <3 Then I remember thinking how much of a dumbtruck he looked when I met him... his lips looked a lot more pursed than I remember.

Is there anyway to keep Alistair in Origins while still making Loghain a warden? I coulda sworn I kept Loghain and I know I kept Alistair.
 
Well, however I may or may not be remembering my choices from the first game I did meet Alistair in Lowtown. He was already in a battle as I approached. After I helped defeat the bad dudes he gave me a pendant and left. Also he would not have been the king.

It's possible to have them both alive, with Loghain being made a Warden with Alistair exiled from Ferelden, just not both in your party during Origins. "

So I finally got my bit of Alistair, must have been the highlight of my game so far. He did end up calling me to the keep, and while he kinda looked like he’s been scoffing a bit too much stinky cheese he still did out-charm the rest of the party in his 2-minute cameo.  Had to laugh out loud when he referred to my Warden as “the old bell and chain”- gotta love the guy!    

It was cool seeing him and his kinglyness.

" @PhatSeeJay:  What the fuck? Leliana is in the second game? She was my damn love interest and she doesn't show up? What a bitch. "

Yeah, I never met Nathaniel, I'm assuming because I didn't take my sibling into the Deep Roads?

Yeah, I finished it alright. But I don't have the Exiled Prince DLC, so I guess that's why I haven't seen her yet. All that cursing isn't actually rage, just wanted to put that out there.

" @Wrighteous86:  It was the same in my first playthrough. I never met Nathaniel, I just heard he was in the game. From what I read, you need to talk to his sister. She is in the Chantry during Act 3. I didn't notice her, but I plan on watching for her during my next playthrough. "

I saw Alistair as the whole Qunari thing went down, but never saw anything about The Keep? Can anyone explain to me what happens?

I dunno if I ran into a bug or something, but Alistair looked really bad in DA2. He looked like he was the DA character model, but with blurier textures on his armor (same for Teagan). Zevran and Liliana looked ok though (but don't bring Isabela when you meet Zevran, that cheating whore!)

"  (but don't bring Isabela when you meet Zevran, that cheating whore!) "

" @Abyssfull:  Do you mean back near where the brothel is? I know I went back there, because that's where you get the Zevrin quest. I'll have to pay more attention next time. I knew I was getting near the end at that point, so I rushed through Act 3 a little bit. "
