I have a little feeling that Anders is going to be the M/M one..

I don't know why! But I do.

Either way, I'll be playing a female toon, heeelllllooo Fenris.

If I read the word "retcon" tossed around like confetti one more time I will break my keyboard. Or your keyboard. That sounds better.

I didn't turn him into a decent man who become a great Grey Warden mage, just to run off murdering Templars and fellow Wardens.

That's my best confetti impression, sorry.

It was a nice impression.
And it's not a retcon if he ends up possessed by an insane demon. It would have been a retcon if Bioware had changed his personality without giving any in-universe explanation.

I'm not that bothered about the LIs, but thanks for the short stories Bioware......its nice to get a feel for the characters.

Those confetti are pretty

My problem is that it's in conflict with a few epilogue outcomes, and I happen to have one of these on my world saves.

Unless it happens in two months of course, then it's fair game.

But hey, you are right, Framed Narrative, there is nothing wrong, Varric is just dumb.

The stories are all by the writers of the characters. I wrote the Anders story, Dave Gaider wrote Fenris, Sheryl Chee wrote Isabela and Mary Kirby wrote Merrill.

Any chance of similar short stories for the non-LIs......greedy I know, but I found them more interesting than most of the previews so far.

[medievalmiss]

I loved the stories, too. Many thanks for providing them to us. They give a good introduction to the characters.

You ought to do more of this "writing" stuff, you're good at it.

[ElenaCousland_]

Ahh Anders so excitedd. Glad that Hawke can romance him and its not my warden because that'd be cheating on Alistair..

[wildannie]

 It was great to get these short stories that give us all more background on the characters.  
Thank you so much!

All very well done and a nice glimpse into the spirit behind each character.

[ToJKa1]

Hmm, if Merril is not a f/f LI, i just may have to play once with a Male Hawke. The horror... the horror!

[AllThatJazz]

Thanks Jennifer. The stories were a great idea, it's nice to have some little bits of info to whet our appetites

Gotta agree with you, I really want Merrill to be a f/f option, I'd GLADLY take her over Isabella.

Any chance to have glimpses of the non romancable characters in the same way ?

[FereldenDweller]

It's really hard to move on from Alistair but after playing Awakenings I have to say I REALLY like Anders so I was hoping for this announcement. (I've fallen for him already!) This confirms that I will definitely play a female lead (if there wasn't a romance I was interested in I may not have this time). I am very excited to pursue this relationship! Charming, humorous, and handsome - what a great choice he is. This is the most exciting news I've had about the game yet.

Well thank you all for the stories, they were all very interesting in their own ways, and I found Merrill's very interesting actually, she's so adorable.

No Aveline? We seriously need a middleground between Merril (virginal girl next door) and Isabella (definitlely not a virginal girl next door).

Implying that Aveline, a middle-aged widow is only....moderately virginal? :/

I suspect the main reason Aveline wasn't chossen was choice. They wanted two females/two males. And, as a woman who just lost her husband, luring her into your boudoir would have been just as weird as when you canoodled Jaheira into your sack in BG2 (though that was beyond weird, especially if you had been playing with her and her husband throughout all of BG1).

Sort of.  I am more or less refering to having a love interest that doesn't represent an extreme.  It was implied by a dev that Merrill was the steriotypical "virginal girl next door" while we already know that Isabella is sort of a steriotypical skanky/seductive wild girl.  It would be nice to have something in between.  (sort of how Miranda was a middleground between Tali and Jack in ME2)

On to your second point, the storyline takes place over 10 YEARS.  It is not unrealistic that at some point in that time period Aveline would want to move on. 

Also, we don't actually know whether or not she is middle aged.  For all we know she could be younger than Isabella and Merrill.

Just wanted to mention that I give you a big big thumbs up for your writing, Jennifer. I loved how you transitioned from Anders' to Justice/Vengeance's POV without announcing it explicitly.

Aveline is middle-aged?
Have we ever been told how old she actually is? Judging from her model I wouldn't go beyond 35.

Thanks, Jennifer. That Anders story has officially set off my savior complex. And it very nearly made me cry. Well done!
