I did, and he left either way!

Thing is, I finished Questioning beliefs _while_ having a Bitter Pill active. Might that be it?
In that case I might have to go way back, because at first I wasn't that sure about rivalmancing him and didn't look for it so throughly.

Also, how many romance options are there in Act2's Questioning Beliefs? I just get one heart.


interesting, I did't realize you can get the scene without completing A Bitter Pill first :blink:

Sorry if this becomes a double post but I have to ask and can't risk an edit that gets ignored, lol! (why do we care about double post if there's no post count?)

Is the glowing scene friendshipmance-only?
I'm willing to replay act 2 a third time if I can get it in rivalmance.
Somehow I'm not getting ANY love scene in rivalmance.


You can get it in a rivalmance.  Just finish Questioning beliefs before a bitter pill.

Edit: The dialog is slightly different in a rivalmance is all.

No, it shouldn't make a difference at all.  You finish a bittle pill second, and that's all that matters.  You won't get a kiss until Questioning Beliefs is done, but as long as it is, either kiss is up for grabs, depending on how the conversation after A Bitter Pill goes.

In the conversation, I remember one at the start and one closer to the end.

I took that jealous line as Denarius suggesting that Hawke was jealous of his supposed control over Fenris. As in, when Fenris was still enslaved by Denarius, Fenris would do as commanded. Since Hawke referred to Fenris as a free man, it seemed like Denarius thought was a shortcoming on Hawke's part and thus envied the power he had over Fenris.

If that makes any sense. Ugh, I'm having a hard time verbalizing this.

Denarius just oozing creepy doesn't help, but I never thought the dialogue suggested sexual abuse.


This. Exactly this. I never got how people seem convinced Fenris was sexually abused. I honestly doubt he would be so open to flirting with Hawke if he was. I couldn't find any in-game reference to it either, considering Danarius' lines can be (if not should be) interpreted the way stated by Saslic.

If anything, Fenris confessing how he hasn't had any sexual encounter as far as he can remember, should be the end of the discussion.

He doesn't say that.  What he DOES say is that he has no memories of before he had the markings and hasn't been close to anyone since escaping.

Ah yes. I remember the second one from the time I friendshipmanced him, but it's not coming out this time.
I'm _sure_ this is the reason why I can't trigger the scene.

I wonder what did I do wrong :(

I'm so tempted to look for a save editor so at least I can overpower everyone to go through the fights quickly so replaying everything isn't such a pain because, let's admit it, greatswords and making people blow up in pieces and challenges to kill foes are fun but making tests with the romances/companions is better.

(And don't come saying that "I don't play for the romances" thing XD :D)

I'm sick of the topic, but he doesn't actually say that, as ejoslin points out.  There is nothing definitive either way and no doubt Gaider left it open to interpretation on purpose.

Okay, a 'sexual encounter' and 'unwanted abuse' are different.

That said, I do think he would have reacted a lot more extremely regarding Bella's "glistening" comments if he had been, but Danarius seems the type.  Kinda Pedorapist creepy.  Slimy and sleezy.

he's never slept with anyone that he can remember, and since his escape. this is quite different than saying "i was abused by my master". He simply didn't disclose what exactly Danarius did to him, we're just speculating that it seems very likely that's all. A sexually abused person is not going to anti-sex completely because of the abuse. I'm just saying that there's a difference between sexual abuse and intimacy, and that Fenris has not had any of (intimacy) which from my understanding is all that Fenris clarified.

Considering the setting, considering Hawke's question, if there had been anything going on between him and Danarius, I'm pretty sure he would have given Hawke a different answer than "can't remember before the marking, haven't been with anyone after the escape" thing and just left it at that.
If there had been something going on, I sincerely doubt the above statement and Danarius' comment would have been the end of it, especially when Fenris and Hawke become more intimate during Act III. 

If Fenris had been sexually abused, he would have handled the intimate situations differently. 

But that's my opinion. While I'm convinced there was nothing of the sort going on, until it gets publically clarified, people can have this discussion until infinity. And knowing BioWare, that won't happen anytime soon.

Are you guys serious you're not reading too much into it?

Something tells me that powerful magisters/blood mages like him don't have sexual drive anymore, it's just megalomania.

I'll check if he sparkles before Fenris kills him next time.  That way I'll know for certain...:devil:

*tries to control herself*

But does he sparkle? XDDD

(I've got to say in my defense that I've never read/seen anything Twilight related)

I was serious about that though! I doubt Danarius would care for sex. People who's mad about power rarely do, or do they?

Anyway, is there a kind soul that would help me guessing why am I not getting the "I've never been with anyone before" line in my last (rivalry) Questioning Beliefs quest?
I'm just clueless. I hit every heart I saw, I swear!

make sure he's under the sun in the woods when you look for the sparkle, because broodiness in a rainy day will mask everything.

Right? When Orsino turned into an uber monster with Blood Magic, I got supremely pissed. Not a SINGLE pure mage in the GAME! Dang it! Save for my Hawke of course... :)

Honestly, that made me madder than anything............ We were right there supporting him and he turns to blood magic and we have to kill him...... He made Hawke look like a right tool there........... <_< 
You can just hear the Templars laughing their asses off at that one.... ''Oh the irony Hawke. Want some help? No? We'll leave you to sort that one out..'' 


Ugh, don't remind me.  He was also assisting Quentin's research in necromancy, indirectly leading to the kidnapping and death of Hawke's mother.  The F***.  When I got the special answer in the Pro-Templar playthrough, I nearly went off.

My rogue's tend to be pro-mage until Leandra get's killed, then she turns neutral...I'm looking forward to a particular elf-napping this playthrough.  Since I let Grace escape this time, I want to see how that stuff goes down.  ESPECIALLY since I made so many pro-mage decisions so far...

IKR............... <_< 
I did mage sympathy first time, and that resulted in a few ''Ooops, Fenris rivalry'', reloads. I haven't let Grace go yet so am interested in how that pans out.

I have yet to play Fenris' rivalmance, but perhaps it's exactly because of that? Being a rivalmance, I mean.
I can't for the life of me remember exactly what was said, but I believe that line is Fenris replying to a Hawke flirt. I imagine his reply to be different when pursuing a rival romance, so perhaps that's the cause of the line not appearing.

Isabella counts, doesn't she?

I tried to er... make my current Hawke get friendlier with her so I'd get rid of the jealousy hate and it mgiht ended up being too friendly.

I somehow thought he wouldn't count (because HE does get dirty with her <_<), but that's probably it. *goes back to replay act 2* :?

Oh bullocks. I let DuPuis live so I can have that special scene with Fenris. Then when I met with the killer, Varric just nails DuPuis from behind. Not that I didn't love that moment, but I was trying something Varric :<
