@Lupus: So how would Maggie react to Anders' possession anyway? Would she be more open to it if she only met him afterwards like Hawke apparently will?

[Miri1984]

@Gala I'll do my best to distill it for you m'dear.

[cave_fatuam]

I plan on tempering my "Let's burn the mother down!"-ness with a little maybe we should think about this for a second... then with a burninating we will go. I don't want Anders to get fully pushed over the border into abomination land.

[Galagraphia]

My 1st f!Hawke won't be having easy relationships with Anders. First she will be, probably, 'omg it hot in here', then she'll be 'oops, a demon, whyyyy?', then she will probably know Anders better and everything. I want some rivalry too. I think she'll be getting more than enough of it from Carver and Fenris, but Anders may have something to say about her blood magic too.

Of course nothing will stop her from sleeping with him, she thinks danger was created by Maker to amuse her.

It is going to be REALLY interesting to play a female mage against him, I'll tell you that much.



....and read whatever puns into that that you like.



ahem.

[Sarah1281]

You know, that's an interesting consideration. We know in Awakening he was opposed to blood magic but (unlike Wynne in DA:O) he'd acknowledge if you made him a blood mage and not seem all that upset about it. And given that he gets himself freaking possessed, does he REALLY have room to lecture anyone else?

Wasn't Anders impressed by the Baroness who obviously uses blood magic?

Not really, but he also has first-hand knowledge now of just how bad an idea it is to walk the wrong route with magic -- a different sort of route in his case, obviously, but.  Call him the walking cautionary tale.  Even good intentions can go seriously awry....

@KOP Impressed, and a bit freaking terrified too.

[cave_fatuam]

@Knight
I think it would be hard not to be impressed by the Baroness. That said, being impressed by something is a completely different thing from supporting something.

[KnightofPhoenix]

I mean he wasn't like "omg blood magic!". He isn't dogmatically opposed to blood magic and can look at it pragmatically.

[Miri1984]

@KOP I think you're right. I think his objection to blood magic stems from not wanting to do it HIMSELF rather than thinking it's a bad thing per se.

ETA @Gala again: I might have to renege on that promise. I'm not liking the DA2 thread very much. They are scary. *cuddles everyone*

I thought Anders didn't like blood mages because they made it more difficult for other mages? I could be totally wrong of course (how unlike me ;-) ) but that was always my impression.

[Galagraphia]

@KOP, I thought he was just scared and thought the Baroness was their only chance to leave the Fade. And after reading this story in LI thread I'm sure Anders was pretty damn good in hiding his true feelings. I never thought he was that much miserable, I thought he kept escaping because he loved to feel roguish, awesome and rebellious

@Miri, I'l forgive you if you'll escape that thread too. We, true Anders fangirls, should escape from every place where we don't feel comfortable

[tankgirly]

Let us take some time to commemorate our beloved kitty, who seem absent from the DA II.

@Miri, they are very scary there indeed. Compare to that I prefer this one.

@Tank I love that pic SOOO MUCH. And yes, I shall miss Pounce. Unless he follows Anders? It's possible - he is a very, very resourceful cat.

She would give him the benefit of the doubt, at least at first.  It's hard to say without knowing how he behaves in-game. but if he's mostly "Anders" she would probably be all right with it, and want to help him.  She's a blood mage by midway through the blight and knows the chantry was blowing smoke about that, and knew about Wynne's spirit, so she knows there's more than one kind of possession.  Plus, she would agree with his goal 100%.

And frankly, it's Maggie.   She'd probably be resisting the urge to hump his leg like an overactive puppy from the moment she sets eyes on him.  That'll get him a lot more doubt he can benefit from.  She's not stupid, but she's a creature of emotion and passion more than intellect.  If she stopped to think she might realize it's bad news, but she wouldn't stop to think.  She'd hear the story, get all wibbly for him over it, and then probably end up with a crush on him in hours.  (See: Zevran.  Who tried to kill her, and it was all she could do not to bang him the same night. Since she was all "a slave? the poor thing.  and maker's breath, look at those legs!")


@Avilia: I always thought the same thing. Enough I had him discuss it in detail in fic, at least.

Re: blood magic.... in the video he has a blade tied to his staff. At the middle of his staff. I can't think of why a mage would do that unless it was so they could cut themselves quickly in battle. It's not in a place that would be useful for attacking. So he may BE a blood mage. Perhaps simply being joined to the spirit/demon gave him the skills.

[Galagraphia]

@Lupus, I don't think he's a blood mage, because Merrill is and in the 1st game companions didn't have more than 1 spec in the begining. But yeah, blade and his dagger...

Hehe, I think he and Merrill would be a nice couple. Better than Vaughan!Hawke and a poor elf girl (creepy).

Anders: Have I ever told you I find tattoos on women incredibly attractive?

Merrill: No, but I heard about it from my cousin Velanna.

Anders: dammit.

[ElZeeTrois]

The Anders' news is wicked interesting, I can't wait to see where they go with this.
In other news, more warm ups go to finished piece.  

Vera, she's the Big Barda to his Scott Free.

[Galagraphia]

@ElZeeTrois, hehe, awesome legs, show us some more, ser Mage! XD

[tankgirly]

I suddenly had this thought.

When will Nate actually appear in the Kirwall, now with the updates of Anders revealed? Was he there at the beginning, before he went to Vigil? Or was he there to track down Anders?

@ElZeeTrois, what's your dA account? I want to put you on my watchlist.

[Sarah1281]

Pretty sure it's before. I remember earlier on the Devs said something about how OF COURSE them putting Nathaniel in Kirkwall for a year pre-Awakening aws a coincidence.

He was there during the events of Origins; whether he goes back during the time of DA2 at the wardens' request to track down Anders.... that's tbd

I was happy as a cucumber with this story, until Ander's detailed backstory came to light today.

Now I am not so sure.

[ElZeeTrois]

@Gala I can imagine him doing the Can Can now, this is good.
