Ugh. This was actually the choice I got the very first playthrough. As a girl, I replayed DA:O over and over because Alistair was my hero, and I kept going back to his nicely written L.I. story. I even turned down the Dark Ritual, insensed that she suggest he cheat, just fornbhim to not give my Dalish warden the option to off Urthemiel herself (I was so horrified over that it switched to an irreversible cutscene, I reloaded to the Dark Ritual just to save him). For the sake of story, I replayed DA2 more than I care to admit, having fun with every possible character-branch, and finally settling with Anders as my favorite lover with Merrill as a close second. I went in with Anders’ Hawke, and was totally stoked to find dearest Alistair as a battle buddy again… Oblivious that BioWare would pull the Kaidan/Ashley. Brilliant on a story telling level!! Alistair v. Hawke?! I was so crushed that I had to walk away from the game for a few days. Came back and chose Alistair, and I’d do it again… but I’ve never played a Warden Alistair since. Loghain and Stroud are easy to send to the chopping block, but BioWare has put such love into their characters, the comics and such, I just couldn’t kill him.

In reply to Noray. They tried a smaller story, read: DA2. It didn't go over very well

But does Hawke die?
“The world fears the inevitable plummet into the abyss. Watch for that
moment…and when it comes, do not hesitate to leap. It is only when you
fall that you learn whether you can fly.” -Flemeth speaking to Hawke
The name of the quest is “Here Lies the Abyss.”
