I think the version of Fenris that's been debated a few times during the course of the thread is just a sign of getting too far into the dreamy state that comes with lack of any solid information to go on. (No Fenris trailer make fan-thread go CRAZY! *lol* Well, not really, but it might be the internet version of cabin fever a little, where you start getting out of touch with what you mean and what you actually would like in the context. It's happened to me before, too.) It might also be a sign of a preference for drama in fiction, depending on the person. I think everybody has their phases and tastes, but personally, I would like it best if Fenris were sensible, realistic, sort of quiet, and mature. I want to respect him and I want to see that he's been marked by what he's gone through.
I'm hoping most of all that Fenris will be the type that makes you want to talk to him precisely because he doesn't seek it out,
doesn't get in your face. Because he's just there, and he's learned to survive on his own, but you sense that he needs someone to listen and understand even if he doesn't quite know it. He's someone for whom words don't come easily, and that makes the words he does speak all the more precious. That would be wonderful for me.
Brooding isn't bad, though. Brooding just means you're thinking about what you've done and why you've done it--a wise course of action after doing something that troubles you, like almost hitting a friend for touching you. Introspection and reflection are useful tools for learning and changing habits. In that line of thinking, even angst isn't bad, though wallowing in it excessively would be.
Btw,
Ineffable Igor, that banner is gorgeous!

I love her hair... that's kind of how I want my Hawkette to look.
It
always made me sad I couldn't get thick, curly-ish hair for my Warden,
even with mods. And by that I mean natural looking curls, not like she
spent two hours on them with a curling iron. [smilie]../../../images/forum/emoticons/joyful.png[/smilie]
I love this Hawkette, too, and I feel the same! This is essentially my real-life hair type and hairstyle; I have the two chin-length locks in front and the rest is almost to my shoulder-blades; the whole of it is wavy like that, too. I can never have bangs because if I let it go that short it sort of winds up and bounces into my eyes, so I keep it longish and it stays mostly straight at the top and wavy at the ends, much like in the picture. But in games it's always either short or in a harsh, straight little ponytail/braid, and I just don't like that for every single character. I mean, I don't care if something clips a little, I just want more hair options.
God, how dearly I long for wavy hair in DA2! *sighs deeply*

*lmao* That is AWESOME! *envisions her warrior-Hawkette strangling people with yards of her flowing hair...*

I can't kill any character. Yes, I
crushed Alistair's warden fantasy just because it would spare Loghain. I
fall into the school of thought that wants to know the story of every
person we meet in the game, to get a better feel of who they are and
what the world as a whole is like.
I crushed Alistair's selfish Warden fantasy because sparing Loghain was what Duncan would have done and would've wanted--much as I love Al, I feel that's actually a perfectly logical and right course of action. Loghain wasn't entirely in his right mind when he did what he did, Howe directed most of it and poisoned him with lies... I couldn't justify executing him to myself.
It's too bad the "hardening" sequence wasn't better done--saying "everyone is out for themselves, you should learn that" just didn't appeal to me because it's such cheap logic. What I would've wanted to say was, "Life is different for everyone, Alistair. You can't judge someone unless you've lived in their shoes and learned the same lessons."

I sometimes think that
Fenris isn't going to be an LI because of this. I mean, if someone had
gone through all that, would they really even be interested in
romance/love?
Hell
yes! Are you kidding? I went through some painful times in my life and all it did was make me more determined to live and be happy, once I stopped brooding about it all.
If
anything, I think that will be precisely Hawke's role--convincing him
to stop brooding and live, and love, and have extended sessions of hot-blooded intercourse
all over the Free Marches.
So say we all?

Oh, but that was fun!

When I think good jealousy, I look at
Wolverine and Cyclops in the X-Men movies over Jean. They had a few
tense moments and casual banter. It definitely adds some spice to the
romance sphere. I like fanfics that use those kind of devices. Keep
writing them! I am hoping maybe there will be more comments in DA2
between potentially competing LIs if you are romancing two at the same
time. That's be quite an advancement in NPC interaction and I'd eat it
up nomnomnomnoomnom.
*winces* Now, here's another difference of personal tastes... I found the love triangle in the X-Men movies to be... well, without mincing words, repulsive, predictable, sickly-sweet, and agonizingly boring. I could not have cared less about Wolverine "falling in love" with Jean's gluteus maximus in the two weeks they knew each other. She and Cyclops had the real relationship; Wolverine butted in because he is addicted to what is wrong for him, and Jean was insecure about whether she really deserved to be happy so she wavered too much, and people started squealing over how hot Famke and Hugh were together, which seemed to drive the entire thing. So, if they did that, I wouldn't find it an advancement so much as a terrible invasion of soap operas into my game. But I'm aware that I may be alone in that, as most people seemed to love Wolverine/Jean and think for some reason that Scott was a bastard for not licking Wolverine's feet in worship for hitting on his fiancee. I will never understand it, I can only shrug and accept it. Different tastes.

well actually I play the
opposite gender more often than not. I'm a guy, but my first character
in any game (that has the option) is always female. I also have more
female Warden and Shapard play throughs finished than male ones. as to
why, it's probably because I play as men too much (I play a lot of FPS
games) so I get tired of them. also Female MC offers a more delicate
experiance, at least for me. I have a hard time playing a very gentel,
caring male charater.
P.S: my first Hawke will also be female. I'm just thinking whether to be a mage or Warrior.
That is really really really cool. *hugs* I love you quirky people who play the opposite sex more often. I try it sometimes, but I'm not roleplayer enough to do it very often. Usually it's only one playthrough per game that I play male, except in cases like the Witcher.
