Warden Bethany has a modicum of freedom, since she is no longer considered an apostate. Well not so much freedom but relief, and purpose. But I do feel horrible everytime she shows up and is just so cold to me. *sigh*


Bethany seemed angry at Hawke even as a Circle mage, which surprised me.


I think it makes more sense that Bethany would be angry as a Circle mage. She wanted to go to the Deep Roads and Hawke decided against it, causing her to be found out and captured. It's essentially Hawke's fault. On the other hand if she goes to the Deep Roads and becomes a Warden, it's not really Hawke's fault since she wanted to come and Hawke does the only thing possible to rid her of the Blight and Bethany agrees to it. Of course, considering her life-long predicament, she's certainly entitled to be angry.

And to that you could also add thet right after Bethany has been taken to the Circle/becomes a GW Hawke becomes rich. The entire point of the exepedition was to become rich so you could keep the Templars away from Bethany by using your money and status. Now imagine that Circle Bethany gets taken away right beofre it happens, so if you took her with you (she can't know what would've happend in the Deep Roads) the Templars wouldn't have found her and she would've lived with you in your estate under protection of your money and status. Wouldn't you be pissed in a situation like that?
Bethany as a Warden has constantly nightmares so that adds to it too...

I saw somewhere that the forthcoming DLC may feature the siblings in some regard, if so how would would you like to see Bethany featured?

Possibilities:
- Some kind of Pre-game thing? (could be dull!)
- Adventures with the Smugglers/Mercenaries?
- Some kind of quest with the Grey Wardens, fighting Darkspawn?
- Some kind of quest with the Kirkwall Circle, reading stories?
- Post game DLC?

I'll go through the options in order:
- It could be fun, maybe give this game a proper prologue where you would start in Lothering before the attack, meet your father, help Bethany hide form Templars in that cardboard box of her :P
I think they might do something whne you were with the Mercs/Smugglers, but I doubt it would be about doing missions for them since that would be a vriable and would basicaly require two DLCs, however the same might've happend in both paths, then you obviously will have your sibling as a party member and there also might be some unimportant temporary partymember, but seeing as they would have to have dialogue for both siblings it wouldn't be anything impressive.
- Now both of those would be a good idea, but they also contain too many variables, this should've been in the game already.
- This would really depends what they would be doing. If getting Bethany in your party would not be possible then atleast she should get a cameo, maybe have Circle Bethany lead some Mages or something like that.

I'm trying to re-imagine Dragon Age 2's storyline through the eyes of Bethany IF Hawke sacrificed herself (in my head, canon Hawke is female) instead of her sister. Bethany or Carver would have to take the lead. This would be interesting...

Wowie, the sibling threads are sliding to the second page. How depressing. :crying:

Anyway, I'm back to pimp out the next Bethany-centric chapter of Destiny Averted! Now with Anders/Bethany pairing! I hope the Bethany fans continue to think I'm doing a good job with her characterization. ..I still need to actually play a non-mage Hawke. Alright, that's added to my to-do list.

Nope, but if she makes it into the 3rd Dragon Age I hope there'll be a way to import "your" Bethany, ergo, her facemodel. I really cannot imagine Beth as my Hawke's sister with the default face. I really love the face she had in my 1st playthrough. It's jsut...you know..I know her like that and I am used to that face going along to her voice. If she had another face...well..that'd be strange somehow.

I've only seen three different Bethanys (Bethanies?) in my playthroughs. I'm a bit attached to the first one, who is quite different from the default Bethany, but they all look great.

Same for me.

I see all the default Bethany pics and I'm like, "eh, that's not Bethany..."... ;)

Thought i would post my most recent fanfic chapter here, since it's more Bethany centered than the others:
http://www.fanfictio..._Stories_Follow

Beware that this fic is in progress and not about Bethany in whole, but she has a good deal of attention.

I would like to know from you Bethany fans if you think i should hook her up with someone, i had considered Bethany/Sebastian as they share some religious beleif, but i am far from sure about it.
Give me your opinions.

Sebastian is too pro-Chantry and celibate. Anders is completely nuts, Fenris wants her in the Circle, Cullen is a Templar in the most insane Circle there ever was, and Hawke is...Hawke. Just pair her with a snarky mage OC who constantly insults the Maker. :D

But I always had Bethany as a Circle mage. Best to avoid getting the taint if at all possible. Being a Grey Warden, especially outside a Blight, is a truly crappy life. And a short one too. I had her Gallow'd, then broke her out in Act III. Problem solved.

I would be interested in seeing a Bethany/Sebastian fanfic. I think they have alot in common. Their faith, kindness, thier views on the burden of power, being a burden on thier family, and finding purpose in the circle/grey wardens and chantry. Not to mention they would make a cute couple. 

Also there would be some benefit for Hawke of having the prince of starkhaven as a brother in law.

Edit* I do agree with zephyr that Bethany should be a circle mage. She's happier and can still get visitors.*

I still think that although its not an easy life (or long) I would rather have Bethany a Warden she had much more nobility and purpose besides that she sees the bigger picture of things like not every mage in the circle is inocent and that family is more important....Thats my opinion anywas....On a side note I really miss the activity that was on this thread it seems to have gone dark....

Me, I prefer her as a Circle mage. None of the taint and the possibility of retribution from the Wardens when she leaves them. With the way things went down, I don't think being a Warden, and therefore technically free and neutral, would stop the anti-mage factions from attempting to harm her either. All in all, the Circle seems like the better option. Bethany's happier and she won't have to die from the taint, plus she's free in the end.

In other news, I've finaly experienced Fenris' conversation when you bring him to the Gallows in act 1. He doesn't tag along with me much, so that's why it took me 4 playtroughs to get it. Anyway, I also had Bethany in my party and it surprised me (and made me mansqee) how she told the elf to pretty much "shut it". My little sister, all grown up... *wipes tear*

I disagree but that may just be because i'm really protective of her,  and even though i hate the templars for taking her. I feel better knowing at least she's at least (somewhat) safe.
(If you disregard the qunari attack in act 2, and Thrask and Grace in act 3.....:unsure:Jeez i'm really disproving my point her aren't I. )

Ok here are my other reasons 
1)Bethany seems happier in the circle
2)Hawke is close enough to help her if she ever get's in trouble.
3) Hawke's political power will make life in the circle much easier for Bethany. 
4) I want to make a Bethany/Sebastian fan fic

Do Sebastian and Bethany ever meet, though? Maybe very briefly in Act I, but he doesn't join the party until Act II, after Bethany has been in the Circle for years.

i guess...they are really good points and i sometimes question where she is happy most....but i always pick the warden one...maybe its because i believe in that kind of service...in any case i understand she isnt fully happy (the only people i know who like getting into the kind of trouble wardens do are real life special forces) but shes much more mature and "I" believe that she appreciates family more then her circle mage self who picked Orsino (that SOB) over her own brother/sister but again its how i view the situation...All in all I believe that as a Warden she will be a much better person rather then she joins the circle and becomes kinda like...Anders...I hate Anders... As for Sebastian i dont like him either...If I could choose who Bethany could have a romantic and emotional involvement with it would be Hawke but thats inncest and just wrong...so i hope to god that the next Dragon Age she is a romance option (I think everyone would agree thats good)...Trobbins i hope i dont sound like im trolling you.... you got some good points but thats my opinion...and as for the taint i hope there is a magical cure (after all this is a world where magic exsist)

She's nothing like Anders, come on, be fair. She's probably the most altruistic mage in the game, Circle or no. She fought with Orsino because Meredith was trying to kill her, and even tries right in front of Hawke in the Templar ending, as well as every single mage in the Circle, many of whom she knows to be innocent. How is that worse than going along with a sibling's support for extermination without considering the ramifications, simply because it's the sibling asking? So far, Bethany has detonated zero chantries and has accepted the help of no demons. That puts her in a class far above Anders.

In my fiction she's not going to be a Circle Mage, it's already 9 chapters long and it's pretty much been settled that she's a warden.
This of course pretty much prevents her from ever having a child of any man she could marry, but i just thought that a romance between her and Sebastian could be neat until they have to part ways.

With the release of Legacy DLC, they now can really meet. I'm not a fan of Seb, but it'll be interesting to hear what the two of them might have to say to each other.
