... I've never wanted to kill Seb. Not even at the end. Maybe slap him upside the head at a few moments but I can't blame him for acting or saying what he does at the end. I think he's a generally good guy who just gets caught up in all the insanity of Kirkwall just like everyone else.
I just can't dislike the guy outright.
Same here. Most of my issue with him actually stems from a dislike of religious preachiness so he was naturally never going to be my favorite. I don't want him dead or anything, and my Hawke doesn't see him as a serious threat either (he only had like, 3 conversations with him that whole time anyway lol).
While I still think killing Seb is a bit harsh, I get where a bit of that hate is coming from after doing a playthrough where I hauled him with me just about everywhere to see what he has to say (not a whole lot, as it turns out; he's somewhat more silent than many other companions, and he's super hard to earn rivalry with if you don't want to side with demons all the time, but that's the besides the point). What frustrated me was a dialogue I got between him and Fenris in Act 3, where despite my Hawke being an apostate and supposedly his buddy, Seb has the gaul to talk about drawing lots with Fenris to turn in Anders in Merril.
With Hawke and Anders right there listening in. Even Fenris was (roughly) like "Cool it bro, I'm not fan of mages, but Hawke will
kill you, fool!"
I just felt like, by this point in the game, Seb should not be thinking about turning on my companions for being mages...when I'm a freaking mage myself. It broke my brain a little bit.
The preachiness I didn't mind so much--he didn't seem to spend much time trying to convert Hawke, and he backed down when the companions told him to stop (mostly). He just seems to be, well, an idiot.
We need a slap Sebastian mod, I swear.
