The reconciliation conversation he has with Hawke makes it apparent that he's been torturing himself about it for three years. Yesterday, I was playing through the Act 3 scene after "Alone" and I accidentally hit the "it's too late" option instead of the "I forgive you option". The look on Fenris's face when he said "I had to try" was the saddest thing ever. I could not reload fast enough. :pinched:


I wish someone would youtube that. That's all he say's I had to try with sad puppy eyes and it's over? I can't do it...I am a coward.


I wish I had the necessary software to YouTube it for you. Here's the exact dialogue I got. (This is a rivalmance with a sarcastic Hawke.)

Fenris: I should have asked your forgiveness long ago, I hope you can forgive me now.
Hawke: Whatever happened, it was a long time ago.
Fenris: I had to ask. Then I hope we can remain friends. That is something I have always valued.
(Which I think was a dialogue bug for me, because they're rivals. That was followed by a second bit of dialogue which I suspect is the appropriate rival response.)
Fenris: If I have been difficult, I'm sorry. Clearly I owe you more than I believed. 

The puppy eyes when he says "I had to ask" are epic. He closes them in anguish. Gah, Fenris's facial animations are so amazing at times.


Aw man...when he does that look away/blink thing in "Alone",  (after Verania leaves/dies) that's already epic enough.  I most likely won't be doing this one either, but I think I'd be reloading at warp speed if my curiosity does ever get the best of me.

*puppy eyes crits Hawke for 10,001!*  *reloads* :innocent:

Thanks for the rundown!
 ETA: Eeek, ToP! Have some Louvette lovliness. :wub:

I must be weird but when fenris leaves I feel more sorry for him than hawke. I truly believe leaving was the hardest thing he ever did. I feel like hawke would honestly be angry and hurt for a while but fenris would brood on that moment and replay it in his head a bajillion times. I just feel like even though he left he still got the worst of it. Im crazy I think... or I just empathize to much with fenris that I can seriously imagine exactly what it is like for him after leaving.



I agree.  You can tell he's confused.  You can tell that something has stirred in him that he's not ready to handle. My Hawke knows that and cares enough about him to wait.  She keeps him in her party almost always because that's the way she gets to see him and know that he's okay.  Hawke is stil coming to terms with her own grief and guilt about her siblings and her mother.  Much as she adores Fenris, I think she knows that she isn't quite ready for him either.  In a way, it all works out for the best.

The puppy eyes are lethal for sure. :unsure:

One aspect of Fenris's character that I don't think I picked up on until several playthroughs in is his extremely low self-worth. He basically admits that it was one of the root causes for leaving Hawke. What I've really noticed this time around is how much he apologizes. He says the words "I'm sorry" or "I apologize" at least once in almost every single conversation with Hawke. 

I like that he's willing to apologize when he says or does something out of line, but it makes me kind of sad that he feels the need to do it so much.

Someone suggested that this post should have been in this thread...so I'm bringing it here and asking the moderator to close the thread I started.

How I Learned to Stop Whingeing and Love the Elf:

When Dragon Age II first came out, I was the poster of a thread titled something like "Bioware, where have all the Normal Men Gone?" I bemoaned that if you played a straight female, you could only choose between an emo mage and an angry elf.

Like many, I chose to romance the familiar and went with the emo mage on my first playthrough. (It's strange how pissed off you can get at a pixelated man who calls you "sweetheart" and then blows stuff up for a cause.) Talk about someone who was REALLY ANGRY! The emo mage not only took down the chickens who came home to roost, but all the "eggs" in his effort to concoct an omelet of glorious freedom for mages everywhere.

Needless to say, he ceased to be a viable romance option for some weeks to follow; because, face it: It's hard not to metagame. I mean, how attached can you get to a guy you're only going to have to execute later?

So it was on to the Angry Elf. Angry is hardly the word. As I was playing a mage, we often had "discussions" regarding mage liberty vs. mage madness. Between crashing wine bottles and whatever I could find to throw (fireballs, lightning bolts, whatever), things were pretty noisy whenever I went to visit him at his ruined and unsanitary mansion.

(Can someone explain to me why the Bioware female artisits didn't insist on redecorating Fenris' estate? Why would they let him live with dead things about? Think of the smell!)

But.....well....after a number of playthroughs, I began to respect the guy. Sure he was pissed off about everything. Sure he was opposed to mages. But you had to give him credit. He was brave -- he told me his terrible story about his most shameful act -- that was courageous. He was up front about his position. I knew exactly how he felt about mages. He didn't play nice with people to their faces and then diss them behind their backs. He insulted them -- pointedly -- to their faces. "Stop looking at me, Witch...." comes immediately to mind.

And the little wolf is smart. He may be illiterate, but he is very intelligent. He thinks about things. Underneath all that rage (and shame) there's a diamond hard quality to his thought process. His rage helps him feel less helpless, I get that. But he also gets angry at himself for being unable to resolve the problem of me objectively. Despite angry outbursts now that he is free, Fenris has had to survive by trusting his head and not his gut. A man who ran on emotions would have died at Decimus' hand much sooner. He would never have made it through Hadrianna's torture of a thousand cuts. It takes willpower and intelligence not to lash out when provoked. It takes foritude to wait your turn at vengance.

So in the story, I (Hawke) represent a contradiction. All mages are bad, but I (Hawke) am not bad, but I am a mage. In fact, I am quickly becoming the most important thing in Fenris' life. Fenris must check his premises about all mages, and he must take a small step into a very foreign land (Baby steps, Carver, baby steps). Watching Fenris try to resolve this issue in his own mind and heart are half the fun of the game.

And while I miss being called "sweetheart" and I doubt that I will ever hear such endearments from the elf, I'll take the great look he gives me in Act 2, and the "don't die on me, Hawke..." speech in Act 3. He won't ever be sentimental. But he will most definitely care. And when he does, on occasion, admit how deep his feelings run, it will mean that much more. Because in MY DA universe, this guy will not betray me, no matter how many fireballs I throw.

(Unless Bioware turns him into a terrorist....abomination....drunkard....assassin.....ah crap!)

Can't ask much more of a pixelated LI.

<Snip> (There was another applause here-- bad Photobucket!)


This is why I cannot convert to doing a character in a Anders romance-- almost in exact. I almost wish I had romanced Anders first just so I can fully understand what it's like to switch to Fenris (I've only attempted to romance Anders after romancing Fenris on oh-so-many different PTs. I was attempting to see the appeal of Anders, and once I reached his creepy ass stalker-esque line, I promptly restarted my PS3 and deleted the saves of that character and started over). 

All I can say though is: "Welcome!" and give you a boatload of virtual non-fattening delicious chocolate chip cookies. And fresh cold milk. And a ice-cream sundae. And Maximus with Coffee Cake (I fail enough that I went back into this thread, all the way to page 326, to hunt this thing down instead of using the internet. :pinched: We were scary back then, :lol:)

I started busting out laughing at your applause gifs MRC. Oh man...

You know, I did this same sort of reversal for Isabela. I had already set up 2 playthroughs where I just hated her guts. I couldn't stand her. I built stereotypes and cliche's around her to prove to myself that she was what I said she was. Then I took a step back. I ventured into the Isabela thread, I played the game again and took her everywhere. I listened to her cutscenes. I romanced her. I friended her I rivaled her, and through it I realized just how wrong I was about her character.

It is always great when people can learn to see both sides. I think it even makes for a more satisfying experience because you can see both the love and hate side of the character. Fenris gets pinned by so many as the "angry emo elf," and he is so much more than that. People usually don't see it because they get blind sided by his surface appearance. So, congrats on delving into the character we all love, and I like your well written analogy.

As for Anders, that is a whole other basket of kittens. I'm sure the Anderstians have a take on it. They obsessively over analyze him every day! :P Much as I do Fenris every day... *shifty eyes*

Welcome to the Fenris thread. MRC's applause sums it up nicely. Also, have a cookie.

I happened to come across a little advertisement of my Dragon Age sims in here a loooong while back. Thanks you guys! I'm usually just checking out the Anders thread, so it was a great surprise. :)

If anybody is interested in seeing some others, I've uploaded an entry with elves here.

And since this is the Fenris thread... I shall leave this bit of spam. XD

I just sold Fenris to Danarius and I think the scene lacked emotion. Maybe it is better if you're romancing him? My Hawke broke up with him when he started the 'no-sex' nonsense. Anyone here knows if the scene is any different if he's in a romance?

Edit: Typos. And forgot to add the last part.

I think the scene changes depending on which way he is on the Friendship/Rivalry scale. On that One Time That I Did Do That And Then Re-loaded (It was on a Friendmance), Fenris was like "*puppy eyes* Don't do this to me Hawke, I need you."

You're not alone in this. I feel sorry for both of them, but there's so much self-loathing and self-punishment on Fenris's end that it makes me especially sympathetic on his behalf. 

The reconciliation conversation he has with Hawke makes it apparent that he's been torturing himself about it for three years. Yesterday, I was playing through the Act 3 scene after "Alone" and I accidentally hit the "it's too late" option instead of the "I forgive you option".

I agree.  The only thing that ever bother me was the time gap.  I mean three years without talking about it. Three years!  But that could just be an artifact of the time jumps in the game.  And I dislike how they were handled in general.  So I'll live with it. B)

I'm so going to hell for saying that Jethann and him make a cute couple.
:whistle:

And Nate and Fenris wouldn't be arguing-- they'd be off brooding together and making women swoon and have multiple broody babies in their honor as they passed (at least, I hope so. So yummy <3). :whistle:

And Legacy!Fenris is jealous of your Fenris, so he shall retaliate by doing the following:
-- Sneaking out with Marian-- IN A LIMO! (How the hell did she get that?!)
-- Dancey, twirl, kiss!

Bethany will assist (despite her seeming distaste for Fenris) by kissing Feanor (well, being kissed by him).

Fire, as well, will assist. By killing Ser-Pounce-A-Lot.

I jest, I jest! She taught him to play dead!

Oh, and, Fenris failed to become Legacy heir-- random dice chose Feanor (Fire rolled up once too, but Fenris? Not so much. The random dice didn't like him too much, I guess). But fear not-- Merle wants to graduate three kids from college as her LTW, so all of the Legacy kids this Gen get to go to college. And I might as well send the Hawkes with them! And since I sort of like Fenris and Marian...

(*Cough*I'msohappythatFenrisisnottheheir!Marianandhimcanliveforeveralongsidetherestofthelegacybecausethenotheirsareofflot!*cough,cough*) 

I might do something with them before I kick Fenris out of the Legacy House into his and Marian's own humble abode (because he's not living in a house with holes in the ceiling!) And having only one Sim living in one house is a waste to me. :?

OMG Sim 2 I love you, the sneaking out of the house thing always makes me laugh. First time I saw one of my Sim-kids do it I was like, "Hey! Get your sneaky @#$* back in here! You got homework to finish."

Madame Rose Crimsyn:  Oh yes, that was definitely a brood-off!  And I'm sure there are plenty more to be had.
They do look pretty cute, but Zevran will always be the one Jethann comes back to- three bolts of attraction, baby! He has the lifetime want to screw 20 sims.  I am actually tempted to try and accomplish that with him. ;)

Honestly I am trying to finish my -- what 7th playthrough of DA2. I'm a Male Archer Hawke and I'm romancing Isabela. To be honest it is getting harder and harder to get through the game these days. I dare say I am getting... *gulp* burnt out.

Fenris is one hell of a friend though. I love his act 3 conversation. My Hawke went all -- "still blaming magic for everything?" and he is like... "think about it Hawke, your mother, your sister. So many others..." then he is like "but what is important now is moving forward." It still makes me want to punch something when I see people who are like "Fenris is nothing but a whiny, mage hating emo elf. Nothing more."

To quote the Arishok -- "You do not see..." I mean he literally just tells HAWKE to shut up about magic in that scene. He is the one who says lets move on to another subject shall we.. lets say.. the future perhaps? I also smiled like a fool when he said "I haven't been a slave for a long time, perhaps I should remember that." Fenris constantly surprises me. I love it.

Also, to add to the sims mania sweeping the thread here...

I was thinking about joining the party since I really have nothing else to play right now. I don't know whether to load up my sims 2 or sims 3 though. I was trying to find some dragon age mods for sims 3, but have had no luck so far. Suggestions? Meh, it's just sort of a backburner thought right now anyways. Everyone seems to think sims 3 was made by the devil so... I guess Sims 2 it is.

Don't worry about it too much. I got that way after my... what? Eigth, maybe ninth PT? (I can rip roar through a game when I'm up to it) Which, by that point, is the point where I can recite lines from the game and tell you exactly what the characters are doing with my eyes closed (I got this way with Origins, too, after about my sixth PT). Which is the main reason I started playing TS2 again-- I needed a DA2 break and to work on my legacy. I also play Oblivion on the side as well (although I'm NOT a happy camper with that game right now-- I'll get to that further on in the post).

<Snippy>

Well, I don't know if everyone thinks TS3 is made by the devil besides myself and (seemingly) D-D. I have a cousin who adores it and thinks I'm stupid that I went back to TS2, despite the fact that when plays it (TS3), she crashes about every thirty minutes she's playing and has to play on the lowest settings possible and open town makes her entire game a giant lag (excuse the incoming language, but it's the only appropriate phrase) cluster-****.  She never had these problems with TS2 and could actually run very high settings with little lag.

But I'm still the stupid one, remember. ;)

And the only DA related mod I ever found for TS3 were T-Shirts (by Aikea Guinea, I think) with the Grey Warden symbol on them. Which were only for guys. And the only thing they wore in the time I did play TS3. 

And since today was (primarily) a TS2 off-day for me, as well a DA2 one, I went and played Oblivion (since I didn't feel like being a Gate Monkey on Guild Wars). And I am so ticked and so sad at the same time. My character (which I basically pieced together her race in CS using other race mods, and as well did my own modifications to the skin and such so she looked like an amazingly awesome, way short gal that you'd cheerfully talk to on the side of the road and never realize that she just stole all your money and whatever valuable items she could also pickpocket until you were attacked by Highwaymen and all you had were the clothes on your back and a Pewter Fork or a Pewter Spoon left in your inventory; and a character I put far too many damn hours into) looks like that her save became corrupt, in a weird way where I can load the save, no problem, but when I go to save? I crash. 

So it looks like tomorrow will be another TS2 off-day as I start her over... :crying: She's survived four reformats on a back-up drive (which I just realize I've forgotten to update since I wiped it after I put everything away from the last one), Daedric Princes, assassins, being a thief, necromancers, the Blackwood Company, slaughterfish (including that giant nightmare at the bottom of the damn well in one of the Thieves Guild questlines), and all the hell I put her through with numerous mods, but it looks like she's finally met her end.

ummm?... *hands MRC emo cheer up cookie, and tissues*

Nothing worse than corrupt files >.<. I feel your pain. I really.. really.. do.

That gives me some hope for sims 3 though. I have a big beefy gaming puter that I spend way to much time and money investing in. It can handle the sims 3 workload, but I am concerned about crashes and such because they seem rampant in that game. Also mods.. I want me some DA mods. I ventured into mod territory ONE time. ONE.. and never again.. *shakes fist* NEVER AGAIN! So, I leave it up to professionals, LOL.

In other news to keep the thread on Fenris... I am officially not allowed to talk about Fenris anymore to my boyfriend :(. He pretty much told me that I am obsessing over him, and he likes DA2 as much as the next guy, but enough is enough. *sadface* I have a LOTR obsession as well, but he knew what he was getting into.. muahahaha.

Still.. no more Fenris talk... I might go nuts... >.<
