Perhaps the point is not to bring you to wailing tears over the deaths of those characters, but to set up certain things for later, hmm?

If we'd run around here saying "YOU GUYS ARE GOING TO WET YOURSELVES OVER THIS THING WE DO IN THE BEGINNING!" you could happily hoist us on our petard, but we didn't. So our petard remains unhoisted.

I was happy to see Wesley die spouting off "apostate" and "duties" to my sister. Right where you belong Templar, 6 feet under in the ground soon. I'd just finish the job after we got past the darkspawn anyway. They saved me the trouble.

Bethany/Carver deaths seemed random.

That's the problem! It seemed like Hawke didn't care, like, AT ALL!

FFS!

To be honest, I'd rather have carver in my party than bland-as-hell Bethany. I'm sure subsequent playthroughs will make that scene hurt a lot more if the sibling you had last time ends up dead.

[Rompa87]

It's possible that there will be an emotional scene later on, when they've had a moment to catch their breath. In Kirkwall perhaps?

[Archdemon 15]

I was glad carver died. He always fought against my action, but Bethany I missed her. She was always on my side. So yeah can't play a Mage for my staff of Parlathan. SADNESS!

There's a new trailer depicting a more emotional sibling death.

WHERE??? :o:o

link please!!!!

Hmm I think I've seen that. Hawke falling to his knees or something. That would be pretty cool if they did put a little more into that scene. Not that I'm complaining really.

If anything it upset me. And yes, Wesleys death was more dramatic.

It's not even about not knowing Carver well, it's mostly about 3 things. First, it's a cutscene and you can't do anything. Second, whoever dies is acting foolish. Why would anyone aside from a person with deathwish throw himself on the ogre even if 3 other people are around who could help, especially their older brother/sister. 3rd but not least, mom Hawke casting blame made me want to disband her right there and tell her to try better then.

If they want to bring the guilt/loss thing into their game then they should look at mass effect. What they did in DA2 just reminds me too much of the human noble origin and the sacred ashes guardian where it is suggested you should feel bad about something you couldn't do anything about. It just doesn't work, if anything it upsets people.

In ME you couldn't do anything either, you lost either Kaidan or Ashley, but you made the choice so it was at least partly your 'fault'. You made a decision and you have to live with it. In Dragon Age for some reason you don't get to make these decisions but everyone acts as if you did. That's just ... really annoying.

Thats why I'm hoping that this isn just the demo and that how it looks in the new trailer is the real version.

[Maelora]

Watching HerpDerp die was kinda funny.

[Jexpar]

I love'd Hawkes and Beth reactions. The "That was not That sad, cheer up mom" and the lack of reaction, respectively ^^ Only Avaline showed some real emotions and tried to comfort HawkeMom.



Some people were not that attached to their brother ^^

[MorrigansLove]

I hope the scene in the trailer is in the game. Holy ****e, I'm so kgsdfkg

[The Spirit of Dance]

me and my cousin laughed when Carver died

Bethany was pissing me off more than Carver with, "let me nuke my AOEs behind darkspawn" every dang time they came.

[Fenn_]

Not everyone reacts to death right away might take time to sink in. I still hope the death scene is better in the full game.

Just for the record, I never felt sad for Duncan dying. I thought it was too soon. I just met him, hardly knew him and had to spend an entire game listening to Alistair missing him. Never heard anyone complain about that.

When Carver died I honestly sorta laughed just like how I laughed when I killed Wesley. I'm guessing that makes me a horrible person. Also I've only felt sad when Duncan died.

Than that makes me the scum of the Earth since I  laughed on the ones you mentioned and Duncan & Cailan's death.

Agreed, though it may be more emotional if you do one playthrough with one sibling and in the next playthrough they're the one who dies. I thought Wesley's death was sad/touching though.

This. I'll do my first playthrough as a male warrior, getting to know Bethany better, getting to like her. Then I'll do my second playthrough as a female mage and watch her get smushed and feel sad about it, because it's the person I got to know really well last playthrough.

I agree, but only because I really hate Douche Carver.

Are we agreeing again?

Now I'm scared.

Anyway... Carver for the final boss!!! Make it happen, Bioware!

[MorrigansLove]

I don't care if it's sad or not. I just hope Hawke acts better in the finished product!

[RPGamer13]

It didn't make me cry or anything and my reaction was more because of how I few Beth and Carver.



Carver's death, for me, was celebratory and Bethany's was more like "why do the pretty ones always have to die first!?!" type thing. My joy from Carver's death was compounded with Leandra crying that her youngest one has just died.



It also appears Carver takes after his mother and Bethany an Hawke take after the father even though we didn't get to meet him. Either that, or Hawke seems like she's in the middle at first then you can mold her towards either end of the spectrum.

[TheMake]

So why do people hate so much on Carver? the sod barely says two or three sentences before he's gone.

[Zerakus]

About as much as with Trian, or Tamlen, orGorion, for that matter. That said, it's a demo, and is of an older build. Things might be slightly different in the final version.. if not more so. The new vid on facebook seems to hint at it in this regard, anyway.
