Both have their appeal. I wish I had gotten the glowy one as a surprise in game rather than hearing about it on the forum first- I'm sure I would have been shouting at the screen. It's so dramatic and... hot. But I do still like the other better. Like Badpie (lol at your name) said, it's Fenris coming to Hawke, and not Hawke mauling him after what was a very trying experience for him. The glowy scene does make his running out more understandable.
And that's why it's so hard to choose, both have their appeals and ultimately they're caused by different decisions with the same outcome.

I miss when, in the BW games, you could just be the PC and the NPCs fell for you just by being that way and not because of 'do x thing to get y reaction.'
It feels a bit more organic to me. It's also why the face nomming Anders did was such a pleasant (and ngl, hot) way to go about their tragicmance.
Liara may have been all pouty that I'd go Kaidan or celebate (for Gar in game 2), but ninja mance... all the way.
(Sorry that I'm condensing your quote!)
I know what you mean. I think I'm drawn to all this because there's this NPC initiative that are given because of something you did before and not a "because I'm doing this right now so the result will be this". It's like Fenris' final kiss during The Last Straw, none of us was expecting that...and it was refreshing, it was great. It completes the romance not only because it is so, it's because his action gives you that impression, you know? (on a unrelated note: as for Kaiden...I wish ME1 had more/better romance options...because Kaiden was my only choice because...it was what was there)

I went into DA2 wanting or intending to side with the mages. And I still did, but at the end I felt like I did it only because I'd tried to save them all through the game. But oddly enough, I, too, began to feel as Fenris did. While there were mages who did not go evil, did not turn to demons and blood magic, soooo many around you did. It was like the whole ****ing Circle of Kirkwall was bat**** insane. And you can blame the grip of the templars all you like, but selling your soul for freedom doesn't set you free at all.
This...I think that's where the writers did that on purpose. the Circle and the templar's objective and ideas were much more clear in DA:O, whereas in DA2 it's a bit grayed out. I really enjoyed the huge twist at the end, where it became very clear that no one is the good guy, not even Hawke. Everybody was out for themselves, no matter how "noble" you are or tries to be, you know? Being a hero/champion is great, but I like having other purposes...something that ultimately takes me to the top but only because I wanted to.

I actually suspected Orisno's being not a good guy when I saw the 'Letter From the Circle' during "All that Remains". It was sighed 'Your friend, -O' or something to that effect. Then I met Orsino and it didn't click...until the second playthrough, when I sided with the templars and got the 'Hey, that ****** killed my mumsie' option.
WTF, Orsino. WTF. I still tend to side with the mages, because I DO think Meredith is TOO much. But I enjoy killing Orsino every time.
Same here. It didn't click until I sided with the templars in my 2nd pt as well. funny thing, at the end of my 1st when I sided with the mages, he said something about Quentin and I remember thinking "um, who?" In my 2nd pt though, it was very "you've GOT to be KIDDING me here..." And as much as I think Anders and Orsino made me feel as though everything I've done has been worthless since they're all going to go crazy anyways...I do think it's inevitable, the war between mages and templars, whether Anders/Orsino/Meredith plays a part in it or not.
