Oh my... so much...
Umm... 1st - @ Solona -- Fenris really never changes his views. He really doesn't do a 180 to help you defend mages. He always maintains it is a mistake. "It is a mistake, but I will not abandon you." He doesn't do it because he feels it is the right thing to do. He does it because he believes in Hawke, and he believes Hawke is trying to do the right thing. Even if he doesn't agree he will enter himself into "hopeless battle defending these mages..." because he doesn't want to see Hawke do it alone. He wants to be there to help because Hawke means that much to him. He makes that choice to follow you regardless of his own feelings, and his own views, not because he's changed them. He still opposes magic, and complete freedom for mages. I think he always will, but it says more about how far he has come in that he makes a choice to stand by Hawke regardless. To risk his life for a cause that he doesn't fully believe in or agree with, simply because he believes in Hawke, and respects them that much.
Also, the kidnapping thing -- I've had Carver, Bethany, Fenris, Isabela, Anders, and Aveline kidnapped. You can have all of them kidnapped in Best Served Cold if you reload and play your cards right. If you have a sibling it always defaults to sibling. If you do not then it defaults to LI, and after that it defaults to highest approval. All companions are eligible. Even Varric and Aveline though I think because they are not LI in the game it is harder to accomplish because they are usually overshadowed by someone else.
Fenris's so incredibly embarassed reaction. I love it! Also, Fenris is the only one who "took out four men before they subdued him." Everyone else doesn't have such claims. They get taken in their sleep or something. Still, in that scene Fenris is just so calm and disappointed in himself. Blood magic being used on him, and I expect him to wake up seriously ANGRY, and instead he is like "crap.. thanks for saving me, Hawke... I'm sorry I let you down." Still, the reaction is so fantastic, and I head!canon a serious discussion afterwards. I'm thinking it was just a serious shock back to reality that he isn't as invulnerable as he thinks (which he says), and he probably thought it was Danarius or slavers or something coming for him, and so fell back more on that self preservation stoicicism than outright anger. Makes me somewhere between "rage!" at taking him and "FENRIS don't worry I got you, always!" I smile like a fool when he is like "It is comforting to know that I have you at my back." Always, my dear Fenris, Always...
Here's a vid of all the companion's reactions to being kidnapped -->
HERE -- of course it is douche Hawke, and I laughed so hard at the lines, LOL. Fenris is at 0:54.
As for Gamlen -- he says the same with Female Hawke as well, and yeah it shows more of his racist against elves self than really anything making fun of Fenris specifically.
Also, Leandra says "I see the way you and that elf look at each other," and she isn't upset. She says "I don't like you hanging out with that pirate woman of yours." (paraphrased) In a clearly disapproving tone. She says "those elves your friends with.. are quite strange, aren't they?" which is more a curious observation tone than a condemnation. This "Leandra is racist" thing came up before, but I don't see it. She seems to have more disapproval of Isabela than Fenris or Merrill. She doesn't really seem to be racist at all, and actually seems supporting with her teasing tone. Like "ohh.. I see how you look at that boy... You've got it bad..." sort of tone. LOL, To which I see Hawke going: "Oh, Mother... please.. I do..not.. THERE ARE NO PUPPY EYES, MOM!" LOL.
and *blinks* that's MY Screenshot, April. LOL, maybe I should start tagging them

. Though it's cool.. I know when they are mine, LOL.
Finally @ Tash *hugs* I'm soooo SORRY! Come to the thread! We miss you! I've been wondering where you went. Figured Skyrim or Tumblr or another place like everyone else, LOL. Glad to see you're back!
