I really liked how the more Cassandra heard the more she thought of Hawke as a hero.  But then again Varric is a good storyteller.

And Varric talking about introducing them had a weird feel to it.  It's like Varric doesn't hate Anders necessarily for what he did, but a part of him knows that if he hadn't introduced Anders to Hawke a lot of the stuff that happened wouldn't have went down.

It was like Hawke+Anders equaled explosion whether you romanced him or not. 

Yeah, I got that vibe too about Anders and Hawke.  It does make sense, though.  Regardless of friendship or rivalry, Anders has a very strong opinion of Hawke and develops feelings for him/her.  Either Hawke's support or Hawke's opposition drives him on.

And in the case of my Hawke and Anders, Varric's line was eerily appropriate.  She fell in love with him, and he gave her hope that his cause was actually winnable.  Meeting Anders made my Hawke so much more dangerous to the templars than she ever would've been on her own.

EDIT for top: D'awww.

Haha, you should duel him with a mage. My routine is: freeze him, sack my mabari at him, spam with whatever spells I've left, refreeze, rinse and repeat... then run in circles with the mabari munching on his buttocks if I need healing and can't heal quite yet.

After I tried battling the entire Qunari compound I and spectacularly failed, settled for just dueling the bastard because it's a lot less trouble in the end.

So... maybe I've lost too many hours of sleep playing this game, because last night during "Following the Qun" I was drawing major parallels between Mother Petrice's actions throughout as compared to Anders' in the end. I know the causes are different, but when I started trying to see how what she did was different, I really couldn't. Killing of some innocents? Check. Passionate about her beliefs? Check. Fighting for a cause? Check. Trying to push a war between two factions based on those beliefs by killing innocents? Check.

Have I really just lost that much sleep, or does that make some kind of crazy sense? Because I always hated her, but I could never bring myself to hate Anders. Which would make me a bit of a hypocrite, wouldn't it?

Petrice's actions are driven by her own racism and prejudice.

Anders' actions are driven by his oppression and prejudice against him and his group.  Now... if an elf or a qunari had done the same things, that would be an accurate parallel.

Not if you consider that the Qunari have and still do forcibly convert people and represent a menace to Andrastian lands.

Seriously, I was expecting Cassandra to be more like "Wow, how very not impressive.  The Arishok chased the Champion in circles for an hour while she squealed and occasionally stabbed at him with a dagger, while her mabari chewed on his butt?"

Think of how impressed she would have been with my battle. I got bored and killed him with a console command. Hand of god and all that... a-hem.

I wonder if she still thinks that way about my Hawke who shamelessly ran off with Anders - to have wild sex in a cave.

She still seems to think that Hawke is a giant hero by the end of the game, even if you spare Anders and run off with him. I'd bet Cassandra totally wants to get in on that action.

Hero-worship banging Hawke and hate banging Anders... can you even do that at the same time?

Ooh, rival/friend sex all at once. I think such a threesome might make the world implode or something. Or it would cause an explosion of awesome.

Most undignified battle ever. I guess maybe Varric glossed over that part and skipped right to the part where she drank from the Arishok's skull like a gravy boat? Or maybe she finds running in circles and squealing hot?

He is even capable of jokes at this point, which really didn't seem in character at the start. Sometimes I wonder if it wasn't truly Justice's will that persuaded Anders to accept. Of course aided by the fact that Anders' was a bit easygoing on the matter and trusted him as a friend. But I wonder, really...

Justice was definitely starting to turn. His whole argument that what separates him from a demon is that he has no desires, and then he goes on about envying the memories and love that Kristoff shared with Aura, he asks the Warden for the ring of lyrium and covets it once he has it, and a million other things, while all of his traveling companions are like "so dude, this world is pretty righteous, huh? You should totally look for some way to make it more permanent because what could go wrong amirite lol no but seriously you should do that."

I don't doubt that Justice was pretty big on the corpsey puppy eyes when the subject came up with Anders, and Anders was receptive because hey, it's just like offering your friend a bite of your sandwich. Until your friend eats the whole thing. And also he's in your body now. Whoops.

Pfft. Sebastian is a given. He hunts after Anders, finds an awesome threesome instead, and frusterbates in some dark corner.

Varric:  And then as the Arishok roared his mighty battlecry, preparing to take off Hawkes head with a single swipe of his mighty axe, a great voice called out from the heavens in a booming voice; "RUNSCRIPT KILLALLHOSTILES!  The Arishok clutched at his throat and fell over dead!

Varric: Doesn't that match the story you heard seeker?

Does petrify work on him? Because if so, yeah, I will give it a try. My warrior didn't make it past two minutes battling the compound. My rogue didn't make it five minutes in the duel, so I gave up and fought them all. IDEK what happened it was so fast and furious. I took out the ones by the doors before heading up the stairs, and the next thing I know, I'm controlling Aveline and Anders is the only other person alive--my rogue and Fenris were down.  I switched to Anders, healed him, had him raise the party and cast some spells, sent Aveline in to attack, and somehow won. I still don't know if it was dumb luck or what.

Velanna: It seems you actually like this world.
Justice: I do. I have had experiences I cannot even begin to explain.
Velanna: A pity that you'll soon fall apart.
Justice: I could find and inhabit another corpse. A female body might offer a different perspective, wouldn't you think?
Velanna: If I die in your presence, you stay away from my body, you hear me?
Justice: Your objection is noted.

Justice: Anders, you are female, correct? You have a soft, lithe body and make me think unjust things.
Anders: Sorry Justice, though I wish I had my own pair of breasts, I am but a man. Why do you ask?

Bwah! That's way funnier than the usual story.

Varric: And then, Hawke summoned her dog and ran in figure eights around the pillars screaming, while the Arishok roared, "Stop running like a little **** and face me!" To which Hawke replied by running faster and screaming at her dog to damage him. And sometimes, dog succeeded in his task, and then Hawke would swoop in, spinning like a whirlwind then hitting the Arishok with a force that should have split him in half. He laughed at her instead, and she returned to circling the pillars. This went on for many hours...

*LOL* He was a cheater. He drank health potions. Like he needed them, with as much life as a High Dragon.

Varric: And then the Arishok paused his furious pursuit of Hawke, and--despite his massive, impressive bulk and seemingly endless health--drank a health potion. And Hawke let out a wail of anguish so terrible that a hush fell over the room, everyone believing her dead even though the Arishok hadn't moved.
