Hmm. I read the preview. Perhaps I simply didn't regard any of it as big spoilers... Hmm. Then again, I only quickly glanced through it


It wasn't huge (Anders wise), just his personality description, likes/dislikes, and a more in-depth explanation of the romance/Friendship/Rivalry system. Along with the spoilerific "Whole Act 1 Plot Description", ahaha.

A link would be appreciated, since I'm terrified ot go wading through the spoiler thread. Unless it's easy enough to google?

Aye. I think I'd already clicked regarding the act one spoilers so maybe that's part of the reason too. And I didn't read the mission walkthroughs either since I'd like to go into those fresh.

Still, the characters bios were nice to read, and the details on the romance progression.

Weirdly though, I've sort of been turned off Fenris. I don't know what it is but he's the first character to begin rubbing me up the wrong way.

I'm going to cut out only the Anders-relevant parts and post a link here in a sec. That way if you don't want to see all the other massive spoilers in the PDF, no problem :)

I agree. I was never a big Fenris person to start out with (thought he might be a Zeveran-like character, and no one can replace Zevran XD) but with the few character spoilers I've read, I don't think I'll be bringing him along too often. Maybe. I don't know.

Anders is looking to be a constant companion, though, like Zevran for me in DAO. XD

Anyone else planning their character around their romance possibilities with Anders?


We don't know when we'll meet him (only a vague "early in the game" but no idea in what context),we don't know how he'll react to Hawke and his whole group (except for one line when he sees him the first time) and while we have assumptions about his storyline we don't really know anything about that either.
So no,definitely not changing my character. I look forward to romancing Anders (Posted Image) but I will not play a whole game with a Hawke whose personality is based on getting some character he/she hasn't even met yet into their bed.
(Although I'd really like to romance Anders as a mage or templar...but we'll see..)

Perhaps it's because he seems like such a downer.

My constant companions in Origins were Zevran (lockpick and snark), Morrigan and...Wynne (the healing bint). It was a bit like the three rude children and their chaperone grandmother with the tutting and the Eyebrow of Disapproval.

Awakenings was Anders, Nathaniel (lockpick!!) and.... Justice. Once again I got the Eyebrow of Disapproval while Anders and Nate talked about robes and lack thereof (snorted cola out my nose first time that one came up).

So I'm used to having serious characters... but Fenris doesn't do it for me. I expect I'll trade him up for Seb. Or Aveline. The Av can be my third Eyebrow of Disapproval.

@RinjiRenee I sympathise. I truly do.

A thousand blessings upon you! Posted Image

Now I'm curious about the smeared-out bits. Not enough to go digging, mind you, but curious. Can't wait until I can get my hands on a guide of my own--!

EDITED TO ADD:

Anyone else now want [[SPOILERS]] to try being a bm because of the story potential? I doubt I'll do that on my first mage run, but on a later one, that'd be cool. [[SPOILERS]]

They were not about Anders, if that makes you feel any better, haha. Definitely interesting, though. A lot of stuff from other pages (not what I smeared out) was about Fenris, so I imagine that thread is blowing up right now.

I will say, an Anders/Fenris party...oh man. Awk-ward.

Eep!! I don't know if I should click those??!! I was planning on a rivalry romance myself, my mage is sympathetic to Anders but she's well aware of the dangers of possession I imagine her to give him a chance but to always be on the wary side. Plus I'm in mood to pick fights... >.>

That thread is always blowing up, aren't they past a thousand pages by now? Scary. Reminds me of the Thane and Tali threads during the lead-up to ME2.

If I had that party dynamic I'd forever be making an enemy of Fenris. I simply will not advocate his views, certainly not on the first playthrough. (the one bit of bias that'll be slipping through my playthroughs). Still, if everything was happy-joy-joy it'd be awfully boring.

Plus, does anyone else find it adorable how emotional Anders seems to be? I really just want to hug him, poor guy needs a break. Bring the man a kit-kat for Maker's sake!

Ohyah... and out comes Hawke's protective side.

They are very spoiler-free, I promise. Judging by what you've written, I don't think it would ruin anything for you.

Haven't posted in the Anders thread in awhile to try and avoid spoilers, but my resolve finally broke.

I don't think I have ever been so excited over anything in my life, ever. Reading the little blurb on Anders that was provided above reminded me, once again, that he is the EXACT fit for my Hawke just as Alistair was the exact fit for my Warden. Literally, sometimes I think that me from the future is writing these games, because everything that happens in them is exactly what I'd been hoping/praying for.

I am squeeing so hard right now.

Edited to say: Well, perhaps I was equally excited for the birth of my children or the 7th Harry Potter book. Maybe. No guarantees.

Thanks for that!

Only now I really want to know whose name was smeared out on the relationship one! 

*about the content of the links*

And what's that about your LI being able to live with you? I LOVE the sound of that!

It's interesting to hear that Anders isn't sympathetic towards blood mages. Maybe he and Merrill will be less friendly than I first imagined. I also figured that he's an 'emotional' guy, but still, if 'emotional' means 'like Alistair'... Hmm.

Hawke's shack is going to get a little cramped bringing in another person.

I'll just kick Bethany/Carver and mama out. They're too old to be living with Hawke anyway. Posted Image

Added tease: I smeared out TWO names. Muhaha!

I found the same things interesting. The blood mage distaste really makes me think that my character would have a far larger chance of going the Friendship route- as far as I can tell, the only thing I don't approve of is massacring Templars. (Usually.)

And I guess for all the flirting in Awakening, he's a one-woman guy at heart. That's what I took from it, at least.

Awwww, I always knew Anders was a loyal guy. He just wasn't committed to anyone in Awakening.

He's either a one-lover guy, or he's in a delicate enough situation that he doesn't want to be strung along or have his heart broken.
