Which comes to concern, that I just love repeating, our DA characters are suppose to be extensions of ourselves in game form be it warden or Hawke....sadly neither of mine resemble me in thought or action. 

I don't think this is really the case since in DA:O my Warden was a male elf that I wanted to squish and in DA2 my Hawke was a hot guy I wanted to bang.

I honestly don't do self-insertion in video games; I've never even made a Sim of myself.  Lots of people "escape" that way though and that's cool 

I would agree with this...for me, the whole point of role-playing is to role-play as someone who is not me. For instance, I do not go around stabbing people to death or throwing fireballs or hitting on random strangers in real life...but I do in video games! But I do want to have control over the character I am playing and who they become. Whether or not that character is a reflection of me.

I guess I worded that wrong since I am hypocritical and the rare occasions I do RP is with friends on the rare chance we get a D&D session despite our class schedules...but in video games?
I like to think of myself more as the little shoulder devil angel that tells a character "yo open up that draw Im sure theres some cheese in there for healing!" or "Yo FEnris HAwke is bending over checking out that armor. Give that booty some inspection!...Don't hate Anders."

Yes my mind is just a proverbial mischief gremlin, but not as cute as Gizmo.

Okay, mini!Ghost whispering, ahem, helpful hints on Hawke's shoulder made me lawl 

I think I approach Hawke and The Warden as a writer; I feel like they're my characters and I "write" them according to their personalities and so on.  That's why I have some Hawke's who are sillier than others, some who are more or less trusting, etc.  

Yeah, I just approach these games as a sort of interactive story that *I* get to write! <3 Love it~

[Dutchess]

To a certain degree I place myself in the character I'm playing. I do refer to myself as "I" when I am discussing events in my game and what I chose to let my character do. But the character I am playing never really is me, in the sense that she is really supposed to resemble me. And I play guys as well, not only girls.

A Fenris for the new page.

My first (ideally spoiler free) run throughs are always 'me'. I try to choose the options that I think I would do or say (if I was a butt kicking alliance marine in ME or an actual mage in the DA games). Later PTs are role playing a character.

Check out this cosplay (even if it's the nexus robes instead of the normal armor) I think he did a great job

Lovely cosplay!  I'm enjoying hearing how we all play the game differently

I think I approach my characters both this way and as a reflection of myself. My first playthrough I tend to make the decisions that I would make in a given scenario. If the game is enough fun to replay, I spend more time up front thinking about who my character is and giving them a backstory, and making changes accordingly. That's been one of the fun things about the DA series for me -- it's worth going back and doing both!

[Tealsie]

 I always role-play. It's more fun to me. I'm 'me' all the time, so in games I get to find myself in the personality of one of my kids instead of 'me'. It's nice. 

One of the extremely few times I decided to play as myself in any game(even with the appearance as close to my own as I could get it), I realised at some point that I hadn't tried Ander's romance yet. Completely forgetting just who I was playing I... started the romance. And then got to the Act II kissing scene. And it was awkward.  
never again...

There is some serious sound acting in that Act 2 kiss, isn't there? It's impressive. I give serious props to the Anders voice actor for making out with his own hand or whatever it is he did there.

Is it wrong to confess I'm a little sad we don't get those kind of sounds for Fenris? Because it's true.

 It's serious all right. I definitely got a "errr...I'll just...leave you guys to it...*clears throat*" feeling when I first saw/heard it (and yes, apparently, that was obtained by making out with his hand). Fenris' first smooch definitely looks like it should be louder, but, all things considered, I think I prefer it that way.

Maybe I'm just too easily embarrassed.

[coldwetn0se]

Hahaha...the Adam Howden hand-kissing moment. My husband was listening to music on his head phones the first time I ever did that scene. He turns and looks at me just a few seconds later, and I'm just a GAPING MAW staring with one eyebrow raised. He finally asked me what's the matter, and I promptly replayed the scene....Bwahahahaha! We are suuuuuch children......40 something year old children.

So just dropping by.......needed to stare at lovely Fen art from @Renjility. Nice CosPlay find from April.
Gonna go mope over in Thane's thread now.

[coldwetn0se]

Oh, and I will drop of an xbox screenie just for funnsies!

I imagine Fenris a quiet, reserved lover, so I'm fine with the mostly silent kissing.  Anders on the other hand is rather a passionate guy xD  The hot kiss scene suits him.

Also, you shy little birds don't watch enough porn if THAT embarrasses you

Hmm...I'm not so sure about the quiet and reserved. I mean, he can wall-slam Hawke, given the right conditions. Still waters run deep and all that.

Heh heh..."deep"...

Oh, the answer to that is easy: none. It just doesn't do anything for me. I'm a firm believer in "sex in context" (ie. that makes sense within a storyline, not just "he walked into the room, and then they humped like bunnies", like what usually happens in porn), and fade-to-blacks and innuendoes over graphic displays. It's not actually that it embarrasses me, picked the wrong word there, it's just that I start feeling like I'm intruding. Or, in the case of porn, like I'm in a butcher's shop.

I probably should've said "maybe I feel too easily left out". Yeah, that's more accurate.

And big, sloppy, smacky, squelchy and/or slurpy noises rather gross me out more than anything else.

Glad to know someone else is on the same oage as me...cept my stance turns into "dear lord this is boring...Im gonna adlib this like Mytsery science theater cause its turning into a sad hilarious never gonna work in real life thing." Sorta how I tunr out with Fenris&Isabella.

But if I read a good fanfiction with Fen-fen in it being himself around Hawke just holding hands...I swear I turn into a blushing schoolmarm thinking aloud "Deary me. Its hot as the dickens all of a sudden, I do declare."
And somehow a fan gets into my hand....don't ask it just does.

Yeah, it does get boring quick, doesn't it?

Fenris and Isabela...I don't mind the idea of Fenris getting with someone else if not romanced, I just mind Isabela. It's really strange how my stance on this has evolved. Before actually playing the game, I simply thought it was a neat idea, but the more I play, the less I can stand her. So I just assume it never happens, since I stop bringing her anywhere once her approval is maxed out, unlike Fenris, who's usually in my party as I never play Warrior Hawkes. If they never see each other, they can't bump uglies, right?

Seriously, though, I think it's the fact that the relationship between them is meaningless that bothers me the most, oddly enough. If unromanced by Hawke, I'd actually like Fenris to find someone he can have an emotional attachment to. Not just "lulz, let's shag". It's kinda like "poor Fen...you're missing out". 

And welcome, Lyrium_Wolf!

DISASTER. Official announcement was made: no more DLC. DA2 is over. An expansion was planned but was dropped. The haters have won, guys. No more Hawke, no more Fenris. We've been screwed. GD you, BW!!!!!

I'm really upset right now.

Sorry I'm late to the party (been out of the country with very limited acess) - when/where was that said? 

After the ME3 'situation', I'm not in a rush to pre-order anything just now. 

[Dutchess]

 In the announcement forum: Mark Darrah on the conclusion of DA2



They were going to make an expansion, but that has been cancelled to work on the next DA project (probably DA3, but no official announcement of this yet).

A double Fenris

Thank the stars for that, @Ghost!  And as always, lovely finds from @Ren.  Just make the damn expansion, BW!  You no want my $$$'s?  Ha, I'll even give them money after wasted $'s on the me3 CE. 

I think I need to go and finish Mace Hawke' play through.......need some Fenris lovin'.  So glad we have an open ending (ok, much more open than I wanted, I completely admit) with Hawke and Fenris.  I'll just use my imagination as to what comes after....and fanfic!

That is a great piece - and I too am thankful for no Fenris obscurity!!

I too purchased the CE   I already started another DA2 PT just for Fenris and now the new Legacy dialogue!  
I agree that perhaps it's too open, but better than no choice at all right??
