YES! Those people actually requested BioWare to mark 'ALERT: IMPORTANT COMPANION HERE, DON'T KILL/IGNORE HIM/HER!'

I definitely don't want this thread to get off topic. Where would I view the wonderful snippets of dialogue and artwork? ^_^

I just wanted to put out a few things that I was thinking about on my loooong drive home.

Regardless of what his personailty is when we meet him in game, I would find it interesting if-before the lyrium branding-he was not the nicest man. What if he was a real bastard? Also, he had a master, yes, but other than the fact that his lyrium brands hurt now, who is to say that he didn't ask for his new "power"-whatever that happens to be. Could it be that he almost enjoyed whatever work the magister made him do? Maybe he escaped because he no longer cared for the magisters plans...

I'm not completely endorsing any of the things I mentioned...I'm just suggesting things that could be discussed :whistle:
Though, I do kind of like the idea that he might not be as much of a victim as we all think...

Also, on another note: I can't remember who discussed stoicism at one point, but I find the idea very interesting. I could never really get into my philosophy class (I enjoyed my Ethics and Morality class more), but I would welcome any relevant discussion about stoicism and how it might relate to Fenris...B)


Yeah maybe he was too greedy for power and a man offered him all the power he wanted, but this may resolve to ANOTHER story because ; Maybe he wanted to protect something/someone but didn't have the power to protect that someone or something and don't want it to happen again and thus went with the offer and got trapped and experimented on sorry if i sound kinda geeky or something but im just saying what i think. ;)

Upon further thought i dont believe it was ever mentioned that the lyrium brandings were specifically from the magister. It might be a possibility he got the brandings in order too escape.

Well.. I'll Answer my own question..
I think he had a good childhood, with poor, yet stable parents, but then times got tough and they sold him off.. reluctantly though.. heh maybe he didn't want his mom to suffer because of him..


Maybe the mages took him away from his parents since ( i may be wrong ) he can withstand pure lyrium in his body and they wanted to experiment on him.


But how they known that?
What made him so special?


Well since ( most ) elves aren't the richest of all folk, Fenris could be an strange kid with rare talents like withstanding pure lyrium and just like i said before elves aren't the richest folk so maybe some people of his clan or alienage told of his strange gift and could've grasped the attention of the mages ..

He was actually a unicorn prince that got trapped in elven form and then kidnapped before being sold into slavery. About halfway through the game a flying purple cat arrives to tell him that unless the player helps him ascend to the Unicorn Throne the world will come to an end. Angst ensues.

...You read my mind, didn't you.
I KNEW YOU HAD SUPERPOWERS.
*cough*
Seriously, though. If that was in the game, I wouldn't know whether to cheer or go "wat."

Mr. Gaider, a question Ser, if you will: Is Fenris like Isabela in that it's possible to go the whole game without ever meeting him?


Correct.

Thank you!
Interesting. I hope I don't accidentally miss him on my first playthrough (I almost walked right past Sten).


I actually came across a few complains that people tend to miss Sten altegher and grunted about it. Suppose my trick is just...talk to everyone, even the chicken by the road. BioWare had this fashion about hiding all the clues on people/things around you. I remembered I had to chat with even rat in NWN, and every single person on Taris in KOTOR......


I don't get how people managed to miss them. Did they just walk straight out of Lothering without entering the tavern and doing Chantry board quests... Not talking to anyone and searching the town/village/area you're in is not exactly the way to play RPGsPosted Image

I think that their individual outfits will make important NPCs more recogniseable this time but I'm a little worried that you can play through the game without ever meeting the companions. I think Alistair and Morrigan were better characters because of their involvement in the main plot. Their romances also had a lot heartaching decisions and I felt more connected to them than other characters.

Does he get to wear a tutu after he ascends as an alternate uniform?

I think the plot line will actually take a crazy twist and Fenris will really be revealed as Ogrhen disguised as an elf.

No, no. You don't sound too geeky. In fact, we''re all a little geeky here :lol:

Amazingly enough, on my drive, I didn't think of the idea that he might have asked for the power to protect someone. Which would be interesting. Though a lot of people seem to think he shouldn't have had a life before enslavement. I don't want his life to begin when he meets my Hawke. Good characters go beyond and above the protagonist...

Asking for the power to protect another would make him "good" however. Everybody is assuming he's good. Though I believe he'll turn out to be the victim and good, and such (and I will quite enjoy if he is), I just love anti-heroes too much B)

I guess, though, by definition, being a slave makes you a victim...It's still fun to speculate-intelligently:whistle:

I bet he doesn't want to rule Unicornlandia, does he? We have to force him to do it. He just wants to be a free unicorn, stalking virgin ladies throughout the lands.
