The opening scene is a bit like Awakenings, except instead of fighting Darkspawn to get into Vigil's Keep, you have to evade humans to get out!

Following a cutscene where you leap up on a passing merchant's cart (whether there are guards along the road will depend on your choices as Warden), you have to pass a persuasion (cuteness) or intimidation (viciousness) check to be allowed to hitch a ride into Amaranthine. The merchant's guard mabari listens to your story with sympathy, recollecting how he lost his own imprinted master at Ostagar, and was sold into slavery to the man you're riding with. He resolves to help you on your quest and joins the party.

Once you arrive in Amaranthine, you must find a way onto a ship headed for Kirkwall, but Pounce doesn't know which one is headed there. You can choose to side with the rats on the ship or the cats on the dock to get the information, and a battle between the two factions ensues. The lady cat, Mittens, is impressed by your valour regardless of your choice, and chooses to travel with you, in the interests of "getting to know you better".

You board the ship, and must play a sort of minigame where you must kill and collect a certain number of rats in a short timeframe for the crew to allow you to stay. A rat near the end begs for his life, offering a fuzzy toy version of himself if you allow him to live. If you take pity on him, you will gain your fourth party member, and the item that will allow you to distract foes in combat.

Once your group arrives in Kirkwall, the real adventure begins as you must follow a trail of clues and whispered rumours to find the man you seek. You must endure moonlit rooftop chases, a showdown with the local feral cat population and a little girl that wants to take you home and put you in doll's clothes to find your errant master!

I would play the hell out of the DLC, threeparts. And way over-identify with the little girl and end up never finishing.



Oh, who am I kidding. Adorable reunion scene between Anders and Pounce? Yes, please.

So epic.  And the ending would be a hopeful one!

Also, Barkspawn needs to be on the rival path.  He is embittered since the lost of his master, and laughs at Ser Pounce a Lot's attempts to find his!  But you can slowly convince him that Anders was indeed a nice master and that Pounce will do anything to be reunited!

I would be broken up if Ser Pounce A Lot was one of the gifts you could give to Anders. I think I'd just put down my controller and cry right there.

Anders is going to be one heartbreaking LI companion. Dammit Hepler. Dammit. Who freaking needs The Notebook when you can EXTEND the Angst for 20+ HOURS?!

@Threeparts Do you write at all? Because if it doesn't happen as a DLC it needs to be a fanfic. I would totally read it.

Hah, I love the idea of Pounce having a tearful reunion with Anders. Would be even more amusing if said reunion brought him back to his senses.



And while we wait for the game to be released, I bring an offering:

NO! I just found out about Anders and Justice... Why, why did Bioware have to go and change Justice into Vengeance? Where's that awesome "A world so full of beauty that beauty goes overlooked" character that made him so memorable (well, at least imo)?!

Ooooh, very dark. I love it, especially how his smirk has turned into a sneer.

Silly Anders fangirls. Loyalty from a cat. *shakes head*



Ser Pounce-A-Lot probably abandoned Anders for a Templar.

It was the cat that made Roland stalk Anders, it is clear.

It was probably a templar who knew exactly where to scratch behind his ears.  And he gave Pounce many treats that Anders could not afford on a Grey Warden salary.  

Poor Anders.  This totally explains his descent into grimdarkness.  :(

Yes! Turning him into a rival can convince him that not all humans are cruel and faithless, and at the end he imprints on Aveline, as he sees that she is strong and honorable and worthy of his trust! Having him as a friend will eventually result in him sacrificing himself so that Pounce and the others can escape from a deadly enemy.

Mittens, as a friend, will slowly open up to Pounce, revealing her tortured kittenhood where she and the rest of her litter were bundled into a sack and tossed into the harbour. A kind stranger pulled them out just before she drowned, but her siblings did not survive. She was raised by a group of alley cats and treated like dirt until she made the decision to run away with Pounce, her hero. As a rival she will be driven to prove herself to be strong and capable, and may eventually turn on Pounce, challenging him for leadership. You can either drive her away for being a troublemaker, or convince her that she doesn't need to prove herself to Pounce, as he has long since fallen for her. A cutscene involving gratuitous mutual grooming follows.

Boo, the rat, is a fast-talking, clever conman, and you're never sure if he's telling the truth or another pack of tall tales. As a friend he sends you on a quest to steal a magical flute from the Rat King of Kirkwall that gives him the power to convince every rodent in the city to obey him. As a rival you can eventually crack his cool facade and find the vulnerable side to his personality, the mouse within that, after all these years and ridiculous stories, just wants someone to listen to him.

It was Cullen, for ser Pounce-a-lot is attached to Greg Ellis' voice.

The reason why Cullen went berserk is now all to clear.

Or perhaps sharing a meal underneath the moonlight, Pounce nudging the meatball closer to Mittens.

Hah, thanks Surely. Originally he was frowning, but the sneer sort of just happened.
