Eeeeek! David Gaider's newly announced book takes place during Dragon Age II. In his own words "It takes place in the current time of Dragon Age II; the period where Varric is being interrogated by Cassandra. And it tells the story of how the Templar Order and The Circle of Magi came to separate from The Chantry."

That's awesome!

So... that's NOT what DA3 will cover then.

[Ryzaki]

Oh good. Something to look out for then.

And some are speculating that the main character is Wynne's son. If that's true (we know how internet rumors are), words cannot explain how excited I am. To bring it back to Anders, I'm hoping this will give us some insight into what happened to him after DA II, or perhaps even inklings if his influence.

Edit: Okay, after actually listening to the whole thing, it's confirmed that Wynne's son is indeed in the novel, and that Wynne and Shale are both in the story as well.

Well, it's always possible DA III could take us into the heart of the war, or just after it, but in a different region than we've visited in past games (Tevinter or Orlais come to mind).

I distinctly remember you comparing Anders/m!Hawke fans to princess Cousie at least once which absolutely boggles my mind, and you get a little anal pained any time any girl comes in with some innocuous "i like m/m " squeebarf, so, uh, extrapolations and all that

This is pretty much the extent of what I said, on Twitter: "For me, Male Hawke is to DA2 what Princess Cousland was to DA. #overrated"

That's pretty straightforward. I think he's overrated. I've explained why before, no need to reiterate. As for m/m anal hurt...no. I haven't hidden the fact that f/m and f/f is my preference when it comes to roleplaying and fanworks, but I KNOW I've never said anything negative about m/m besides it not being enough, on its own, to lure me into playing a male protagonist. One of the reasons I have been vocal when someone ****es about F!Hawke/Anders is because I don't want anyone's preferred pairing to be dismissed or for anyone to feel like they're Doing It Wrong when it comes to loving Anders.

Seconded. When someone turns up and says outright: "FHawkexAnders is icky" - which has happened - I think it is important that people try to keep the discussion open and friendly.

Agreed. If MHawkexAnders is icky isn't accepted here why should the opposite be?

i was about to be SO SAD because apparently i went to bed right before the sexuality and gender discussion started up, and it's still going strong, happy tears!

whatever, i've not been here long enough to judge any sort of criticism pattern, so i'll just say that i've a preference and you've a preference and you've a preference and it's good that at least in this one place on the internet we can all be lovely together, at least most of the time

because unfortunately depending on where you go on the internet, people are nasty with their prefs, and while internet ****** is like half my caloric intake, i'd rather we not get into a giant ****fest about penises and vaginas and which work best with which.

eta: that said  it does suck a wee bit to be in the minority. but ha, it's not like that's something unique to just fandom!

well at least people will stop speculating that malcolm was wynne's son. i can't say i'm overexcited about the book; i don't care too much for wynne, she just never stopped talking. please don't lynch me in a mob  
now if anders didn't stop talking i wouldn't stop playing...

edit; "...penises and vaginas and which work best with which."

unfortunate choice of words. now i'm imagining -  no. you don't want to know what i'm imagining

As I'm almost positive that I don't think I've ever brought up princess Cousland here (and my opinion on that end is definitely that vocal Princess Cousland fans have a tendency to hate on other Ali/Warden pairings and to be entitled when it comes to content that would only apply to them...plus the fact that it's overrated for something that is consistently heralded as The Best). I may have, though. I post a lot.

Huh. I have never noticed any of this. Has this been happening in the Alistair fan threads?

I don't really remember it being that way, and I tend to remember stuff like that very well. I can almost swear it was the opposite and people made fun of the princess couscous ending.

If I recall correctly, the main thing that irked people about hardcore CousGirls wasn't their numbers, but the insisting that Alistair x Warden can't end well unless : 1. The Warden marries Alistair 2. He becomes king 3. (optional) they have babies, forgetting about the whole Grey Warden thing.

Everything else was deemed 'tragic' or something.

So cous means vagina? So Cousland is the female equivalent of... this?

See alot of us who played Couslands...made Anora queen.

I used to get mocked when posting that I PREFERRED the Cousland/Alistair Warden ending.

i completely hated wynne when i first met her, actually. after a couple more playthroughs i totes appreciate her as a character but oh my god shut up wynne zev and i will keep it down jeez

dragon age: anders would mean the end of my job and social life and probably the world as we know it

I'm totally with you on this, SurelyForth. I'm going to break out the ultra-cheese and sappy combo here, because that's just how I roll, but I'm of the opinion that love transcends gender, race, or any other personally identifying factors. I do prefer F!Hawke/Anders on a personal level as well, but I think any and all pairings involving love to be beautiful.

Well, if people didn't realize that rectons happen when (dead) Oghren showed up in Amaranthine, when (not recruited) Anders met (dead at the Dragonbone Wastes) Justice, and (dead) Leliana showed up in Kirkwall, I honestly don't know what to say.

I wonder, since the novel will cover how the mages revolted and why the templars left, if Anders will be mentioned in the story.

I will be genuinely surprised if he was not.
He always blows up the chantry. That's established in the lore.

I'm at this point used to it.

If I expect my choices to stay constant I'll play the ME series.
