Charming Nate was nice.
I just don't like Velanna. Eh. I'll drag her around on my next Awakening playthrough and see if I warm up to her-Anders usually takes her spot.
Velanna as a person irritates the hell out of me. Velanna as a character is wonderful because she's such a b***h most of the time. Anders goes out of his way to annoy her (and everyone else). Nate just wants to have a conversation it seems. Sample banter:
Nathaniel: So you have a sister? A younger sister?
Velanna: That is no secret. I've mentioned her several times now.
Nathaniel: For the longest time, I thought my sister was dead. When we were children, she put beetles in my blankets. She would laugh to hear me shriek.
Velanna: Seranni liked to put sap in my hair. She also pushed me into an icy river. Twice.
Nathaniel: Ouch.
Velanna: Hmm. Yes. Why did I want to rescue her, again?
Bolded: Exactly!

She's a bit better if you play as a Dalish-politer when you first talk to her in the Wending Wood.
I think this banter is followed by the one where Nate mentions stealing Delilah's doll, ripping its arms off, and leaving it where she would find it. :happy: And Velanna's ears are clownish.

Anders is usually my healer/nuker in Awakening. When he first mentioned hating the Deep Roads in DA2, it confused me because I didn't remember him complaining about it. Then I played through Awakening again recently, and dragged him down there.
Anders: It's dark down here, And heavy. And dark.
That's a lot of rock over our heads. Miles and miles of rock...
Is this a bad time to mention I'm claustrophobic?
Poor guy. He gets a funny line when you meet the Baroness.
Anders: something about how antagonizing a powerful mage is a bad idea
Warden: Come on. It'll be fun.

Anders: :pinched:This "fun" you're talking about looks a bit more like "stupid" from over here.
