There was no freaking humor.
They just sat around swooning about Fenris.
Which is exactly what people do here, but you guys do it while being ****ing hilarious.


We seem to swoon and mock in equal measure. It's a slightly contradictory tea party.


We swock.


I prefer to moon, but that's a different issue altogether.


See, exactly what I'm talking about.
I just lulzed.
If I were in the Fenris thread, I'd be sitting there like, ":mellow:" all day.

OK I really really have to stop straying into other forums.... I'm amazed all the hate is still going on, you'd think they'd have found something else to pounce on by now.


There's a long list of reasons why one would hate Anders.
But there's also a long list of reasons why you'd hate every other LI....Anders is just the one who blew up the Chantry.

I don't wander into other threads, mostly because I can't navigate BSN, and because I was in the Fenris thread for awhile and it was incredibly boring.


I am amazed that people "hate" a character so much for his actions (i.e willful murder and destruction of holy ground) but they "happily" stab him in the back, in anger and betrayal, and rarely because he is basically asking you to kill him.  And then gleefully gloat about it, Anders certainly didn't do that for his actions, it would have been funny though,  I really wish they had an option of making him face you when you kill him.

Yes, he did a horrible thing and his planning and tactics utterly sucked, and it didn't help he had a corrupted spirit squatting in his head. I think double standards are being employed here [smilie]../../../images/forum/emoticons/lol.png[/smilie].

Edit: I can't spell.

We have to laugh. The subject matter is too depressing otherwise.

To be fair there was a decent conversation going on, looks to have been from last night.. but then the conversationlists went to bed and the swooners woke up ^_^



I like Fenris.
I just don't like his swooners. <_<
It's like they're incapable of having conversation once they hear his voice.

I love the Romance, but really I wasn't impressed with his voice, I was "meh", especially because of the monotone delivery he had. Show me more emotion, dammit!

It wouldn't make any difference.
Hell, when the Chantry blew up in my first playthrough, I wanted his blood on my hands.
But no, I just spared his life, because I'm a soft touch, and ****ed to myself the rest of the game.

Gidieon Emery DOES have the power to make women turn to utter brainless jelly.. 
Swooning's fun, but I like conversations :wizard:. Thus, I visit the Anders thread!

Our conversations are rather dirty and perverted, and often peppered with rainbow pictures and Anders screenshots. lol

Which makes it fun! 10 thousand debates on weither or not Anders was right, wrong, or deserved to be stabbed (I cried my first pt when I romanced him and litterally had NO IDEA what was going on till the effing chantry blew up. I caved and totally took him with me *nod*) to death, could be had in this thread..


but add a picture of Rainbow Anders, and suddenly it's AMAZING. This thread totally made me do a m!hawke/Anders playthrough, and I can no longer romance him as a female. Its WRONG. Anders is ambigiuously wonderful.*nod*

Aww **** em.
I really think BioWare should release a gag game. One that's like five minutes long.
You get a scene like the beginning of DA2, where you're fighting a bunch of darkspawn, then you die, then it's over and the narrator is like, "We'll all remember the woman/man who died fighting the darkspawn." -credits begin to roll-



Or a dating sim, where all the love interests are blow-up dolls with no personalities, no agendas, and they just giggle at everything you say. 

Also the dolls have a defined sexual orientation (they're all straight lol!) so there's no chance of gay dolls gaying up your game.


Perfect.

Someone would still complain the gay man hit on them.

As long as we're mooning Anders, each other, and Anders is mooning us in equal measure.

Seriously, though, I understand hatred for characters/games/whatever, but I don't think I've ever hated anything enough to write on and on about it. Usually the only reason I go on a forum is to talk about how much I loved something. If I hated something, I usually forget about it and move on. If I loved something though, I just can't stop obsessing about it.

Plus, it's extra fun to be crazy obsessed with other crazy people over a crazy guy.

I like the way you think and I completely agree with the bolded statement.  That's exactly what I don't get, but then again, in this internet age, trolls are a dime a dozen, and sometimes people just can't seperate fantasy/fiction from real life. Or they apply modern standards to a world  where they don't apply at all. I don't mind that people really hate a character, just don't try to apply your emotions or decisions on someone else because they like that character.
Obsession is a fangirls lifeline, I know this.:wizard: And boy do I love all the crazyawesome things that come out of this thread.

How crappy would life be, if you just stomped around going, "I HATE DA. I HATE BIOWARE. I HATE ANDERS. I HATE THIS STORYLINE."

I hated Loghain for a long time and passed many an afternoon Arguing About It On The Internet. It was fun, as long as the opposition was informed and respectful. I also argued in defense of Alistair quite a bit, as a character and a love interest.

I'm avoiding most Anders discussions because there are too many levels of hatred to peel back, and most people are pretty dead-set in their opinions on terrorism and templar v. mage and his character in general. And then there's the whole aspect of character autonomy v. player choice that underlies so much of the vitriol and...yeah. I'll stay here for now.

This is the main source of the hate I think. If the option to blow up the chantry had been a direct PC quest then they'd have been all "Ooo pretty pyrotechnics" and gone straight to the next quest.

Yes, it's pretty tiring.
I'm going to stay away from all that hating/whining stuff now, and watch only those threads with kittens, rainbows, and Oghren as an elf (Origins DAII style, best served with coffee)

Seconded.  (Thirded?)  It reminds me of all the vitriol directed at Alistair over the Landsmeet confrontation, only this time it seems about a thousand times hotter.  Personally, I like not having complete control over NPCs and the plot... but, then, if I felt differently I probably wouldn't like this game (and Anders!) quite so much.

Gotta ask Anders for his bomb recipe.
I'm pretty sure it's more than urine, feces, and rocks.

My neighbor's dog is just having a great time out there barking at my dog, and my dog, in turn is barking right back. It's a symphony of yips (neighbor's dog) and RARFS (my dog).

I think his house could use a little touch of decimation.

Unless Dragon Age poop shoots LAZORS, I suspect you are right.

If you have dog problems, I think Anders would just suggest you get a cat instead of give you the bomb recipe.
