@ankuu, humph...now I remembered, but I thought he was talking about Zevran in Origin....
Well he wouldn't talk about Zevran as a "potential love interest". He is a "well known love interest" xD
if my phone didn't have this stupid character limit, though, I could do much much better. Probably shatter the poor thing. D: And now that I've written that, I'm thinking it's probably very likely that you have to choose between Fenris and everything else. Because killing Fenris would be cruel. Making Hawke kill Fenris would be cruelier. Having Hawke kill Fenris while in love with him? Cruelist. The river of tears from fan-girls will flow rapidly into the coffee pot of those devious devs.

I swear, I'm going to be imagining him with a stuffed bunny when I play the game!
hooo boy....
Isabela: Fenris you need to tell me where you got that plush bunny.
Fenris: Why in the Maker's name would a pirate such as yourself want a plush bunny?
Isabela: Oh, I have no particular reason. Perhaps, I just want something to hug at night while I sleep.
Hawke: And here I was thinking that was my job.
Isabela: (playfully) I said while I sleep kitten.
Fenris: (muttering whilst rifling through his pack) It's going to be alright Ser Hops-a-Lot, the scary pirate lady won't take you away from me. (notices Hawke and Isabela are staring at him) Supply check. Can't go climbing Sundermount without appropriate supplies now can we?
I don't understand the Anne Hathaway displeasure... then again, I never saw the Princess Diaries. I think she's an intriguing choice for Catwoman, and a better actress than Katie Holmes. I just hope Nolan sticks to his guns and keeps his Batverse grounded.Dr. Doctor wrote...
Now, see Christopher Nolan has done an
excellent job IMO with the rebooted Batman movies. I was skeptical of
having The Joker in The Dark Knight, and was happily disappointed when I
saw that movie.

I don't know if this is appropriate but-
Fenris. Boxers or briefs? (I myself think he is more of a 100% cotton, black briefs sort of person.)
*lol* I am the opposite--well, I prefer wine, champagne, and beer to the hard stuff 90% of the time, and I've only gotten seriously drunk like 3 times in my life, but I discovered I am utterly immune to hangovers. Never had one.trickybunny wrote...

I never said that. I don't believe I said anything
about LIs in the stream chat, aside from my hopes that Varric will be
one. What I said, and linked to, was that Mike Laidlaw had mentioned
that if he had his way, we'd hear femHawke before February. That can be
found here.
That's all. I wouldn't spread information so definitive, like "LIs will
be announced before February," unless I could back it up.
Ahem.
I have a similar feeling to that statement.FenrisDeSolar wrote...

Preview snippet of unfinished piece.

Hawke watched as the magister collapsed to the ground. Relief flooded through her as she realised that the shadow that had been overshadowing her and Fenris for the past five years was finally gone. No more would either of them have to look over their shoulder in dread. They were free.
Smiling slightly, she turned round to Fenris. Her smile fell the moment she saw her lover lying motionless on the ground, his sword beside him and the grass beneath him turning red. Frowning worriedly, she knelt down beside him and lightly shook his shoulder.
“Fenris?” she called in a small voice.
Slowly, he opened his eyes wearily. He turned his head just enough so he could look at her with heavy-lidded eyes. The moss green that she loved so much was glassy and distant. He gave her a weak, relieved smile.
“It’s over,” he whispered.
“It’s over,” she repeated, tears flowing down her cheeks.
“Thank you... Leanne...” he mumbled, resting his head back on the ground. “I’m free...”
Silently, Hawke bent down and placed a light kiss on his cheek. He was so pale, and he felt so cold. When she drew back, she saw his eyes staring lifelessly ahead of him, and the last remnants of his smile were fading as his spirit left for beyond the Fade.
“My love...” she whispered, gently closing his eyelids. “You always were.”

Testing out new prompts.
Sweets:
Hawke: (notices Fenris eating a piece of cake) Fenris, where did you get that cake from?
Fenris: The proprietor of the shop down on the corner gave it to me. She said it was a way of thanking us for helping her out.
Hawke: This wouldn't be the same shopkeeper that Isabela goes to for...certain items, would it?
Fenris: What exactly do you mean by "certain items"?
Hawke: You do know that the shopkeeper fills her days making poisons and cake right?
Fenris: (chokes on cake)

I just had a thought. Confronting the magister is almost expected to be one of Fenris' side quests (I know I'll be surprised if it isn't), and I know many people have mentioned possible outcomes, but I think there's one people have missed. What if there's the chance that Fenris dies during the confrontation? I mean, if he's knocked out at the fight's end, or his health is too low.
On those lines, I came up with this little snippet:Hawke watched as the magister collapsed to the ground. Relief flooded through her as she realised that the shadow that had been overshadowing her and Fenris for the past five years was finally gone.

But, yeah... Fenris dying during confrontation with magister. What does everyone else think?
Oh that would be so sad! I could see that happening though.

The one question that I have for Dave, is how do you go about creating a character like Fenris? Is the major plot of the story hammered out before characters are introduced, or are general character profiles introduced before moving along with the story?
There are two things that need to exist when creating a companion:
1) A place in the story.
2) A hook.
#1 doesn't always happen if #2 is really strong, so sometimes we forget... and then we regret it later on. A place in the story means that there is something going on in the plot (or one of the plots) that is very central to what that character is about. They care about it, so you do too. Plots can be abstract things, especially when they relate to a world you have only a vicarious stake in, so followers serve to personify those conflicts.
But #2 is enough. There has to be a hook-- for me, not the player. Something that I want to say with a character, either a moment I know I want them to have, a twist on a romantic archetype, a thing that they have which makes me excitedto write them. If there isn't a hook, no matter what we do the character will be boring. That can happen, too, in which case you have to create a hook. For yourself. Nobody else needs to care about it.
For Morrigan, the hook was the Dark Ritual. I knew that moment would exist almost before the rest of the game did. Alistair didn't start off having a hook, and I realized it after I began writing him. He was a distrustful, surly sort and I hated it. So... what to do? I wanted to make his dialogue fun, the sort of person who guys wouldn't hate because he was a buddy. Since I was watching BtVS at the time, it came to me when I was (predictably) analyzing Joss Whedon's method of delivering dialogue. Anachronistic, sure, but could it be done in fantasy...? I wanted to try.
There was a hook for Fenris, but I can't tell you what it is yet. It's a spoiler. The tattoos came later (and, amusingly, before I even saw Jack), but there was an element to Fenris that made me want to write him. His #1 is also significant, which is important as I mandated that every DA2 character would need a #1. It's a more personal story, after all, without a "YOU MUST SAVE THE WORLD NO YOU MUST" thing going on-- and thus the ciphers are that much more important.
Everything else after that fact is just mechanics and plot documents. And finding the voice. That's separate and not always easy, and sometimes doesn't come until you hit the Moment-- which could happen right away or halfway through writing the character.
