That's why I loved this guyLT123 wrote...
Casavir and Sand!OLD OWL WELL
I raged at the ending of the NW2 OC. Raged.
And then Gann's like "GEE , I THINK IT"S OBVIOUS WHY I"M FOLLOWING YOU." Sorry, too busy mourning my paladin boyfriend who got crushed by giant rocks along with half the party. And apparently survived, but my ranger didn't know that (thanks, Ammon Jerro).
Edit: Also, Bishop can go die in a fire. I did enjoy the "I'd rather stab myself in the throat" option, but it apparently wasn't enough to deter him from little speech about having feeling for the KC. Which...made no sense. It's like Anders! Bishop and Casavir are always hopelessly attracted to/in love with the KC no matter what!
-snip-
Casavir was a bore, but at least he had his aura of calm around him, and a big stick in the butt called "honor".
He was your standard paladin companion - but he lacked preachiness, and I don't remember him ever going: "DEMON! UN-RIGHTEUS! YOU SHALL BURN IN THE FLAMES OF JUSTICE, AND SO HELP ME TYR!" - so he seemed stable for me. He won't be running around naked, fist-fighting orcs and dragons with the burning hands of Justice in my game.
I loved Sand - not in the "squee" way, but I wouldn't say no
And yeah... Bishop. Damm sexy. And he can go die in the fire.
Also few words on girls. Neeshka had a lot of Annah in her - and I still don't get the lack of romance.
Sandra was boring. Cute, reasonable, but she outrunned Casavir.
And Elanee... ok, I have a thing for "crazy". But she rang the Jehaira bell.
Edit: I never had a "rival everyone" playthrought. Which is strange, because my current Hawke is clearly a douche.
It's probably about being agressive(Varric) templar-siding (Anders) guy with "moral code" tattoed on his face(Isabela) - but having no qualms about killing everyone for the slightest insult(Aveline). And slaver-supportive (metagaming Fenris).
So, If you won't play the big, ruthless, mindless hypocrite, someone will like you, whatever you want it or not.

I absolutely hate rivaling Anders. It's just too sad for me, honestly. I can take tragic, but to sit there and be sideline Hawke just watching Anders descend further and further. I hate doing it. Of course this inevitably means I have only like one siding with the Templars playthrough because I also don't like killing Anders.
I got the achievement Arcane Defender a while back for siding with the mages 5 times... I think I have problems, LOL.

My current Hawke totally supports him starting the war so she can break her sister out of the Circle XD She kind of thought he sucked in Act 1 but in Act 2 she starts pushing him to do something about the crap mage situation...even if it means war. But she slowly developed an understanding for his goals, even though she's no mage.
But now I kinda want to rival Varric XD

Still so very bitter that you couldn't romance Sand. Who's with me?
To bring this back to Anders: I'm doing a playthrough right now where I'm rivalmancing Sebastian and also trying to get the Vicount achievement. I know you guys will sympathise. It's awful having to pretty much ignore Anders and/or be mean to him. Awful.
*overly dramatic sob*

If the Warden pulls a Revan, I will nerdrage hard. Poor Carth. Obsiddiiaaaaaannnnn! *shakes fist*
Flirting with Seb is hilarious. I looked at the first flirt line and went, "Oh, that's terrible. Hawke's not really going to use that line, is she?" *click*
Hawke: *trollface* Services for me?
Seb:What? Why are you smiling like tha...Oh. I need to go pray. A lot.
So you're rivaling Anders? Are you picking all the aggressive lines or just sending everybody off to the Circle? Feynriel was the only mage I didn't ship off there.
You're not going to let him kill Ella, are you?
In my mind, Cassavir = Alistair who is older, more worldly wise, and has zero sense of humor. The KC that I beat that game and MotB with romanced Cassavir because frankly, the guy seemed like he needed a huge hug. He had issues.
Sand, on the other hand, was made of awesome and win. I used to use the console commands to get his approval up to 100% just so that he would call my KC 'my dear'. :wub:I wonder if he survived the death of his god a few years later when 4ed started and Neverwinter got levelled. Now, there's fanfiction fodder for ya.
I'd like to think that he and Safia met up in some high class tea room somewhere, had a few arguements about Thay politics, then ended up shacking up together. I loved Safia.
Okay. Ahem. In my playthrough, I have been mean. Calpurnia Hawke mentions at every opportunity that she could do some 'real good' for Kirkwall. As in, her bum in the Vicount's seat. She's best buds forever with Fenris, driving Sebastian right back to his own throne (and to her bed, heh), and yes, she let Anders kill Ella. And she tranquilled Fenreyel, who I actually think is an intriguing character.
I was kind of channelling Evita when I came up with the concept with this character. Don't cry for me, Kirkwall...
Edited because holy wall of quotes, Batman.

I wouldn't say that it's a romance, exactly, but it is definitely a flirt pack. Seriously, this thing has been sitting on my hard drive for a year now, waiting for me to edit the last four typos and ship the darned thing. I really need to just do it. Either gender can flirt with Sand, but it doesn't go anywhere yet. By that, I mean that Sand won't appear on the Walls after Casavir/Bishop or Elanee/Neeshka. There is a pretty wide range of flirts available, though. Testers were satisfied... at least until the full romance comes out. Eventually. The mod is co-authored by Domi and myself and until she is done with the Neeshka romance, I can't alter any files besides gl_sand.dlg. I'm having trouble accessing the Gibberlings 3 forums from my work computer, but there's a forum for it there.Nilfalasiel wrote...
I've never played NWN2 (wondering now if it's maybe worth looking into?), but all this rock-crushing business got me curious, so I snooped around a bit. Turns out there's actually a Sand romance mod currently in the works (actually nearing completion, from the looks of it), since I see him mentioned here a couple of times. So don't lose hope!

And now, back to Anders. We finally get a mage romance and he engages in iconoclasm. Of course.

Now back to our regularly scheduled Anders... LOL.
I had another dream with him in it.. WTF... He was my lawyer... don't ask. The glasses were hip though, the feather pauldrons, mage robes, and staff didn't scream lawyer though. *facepalm* Something is seriously wrong with me. I'm not making this up.

Oh, lol, I can't believe my brain didn't make the connection that you were the same berelinde as on the Gibberlings forums
Anders as a lawyer...hmm...Maybe if he shaved? I'm sure Justice would give him an advantage in that field though. Or not. Don't think he'd be much inclined to strategise a speech.

He gets very "in" the speech - but at the same time he has a ******-poor arguments and tends to over-dramatise stuff - so yeah, he could work - just give him some backup.

Let us know when it gets finished, Ber. I'll be more than happy to reinstall NWN2 on my harddrive and do a replay with a Moon Elf Wizard character I made back when the game was new.
This whole conversation made me crave a crossover piece where Sand and Anders have a discussion about how to cure him of Vengeance. I think Sand would soundly call Anders an idiot, and then be intrigued by the challenge.
Actually, for some weird reason, I'd love to see Hermione from Harry Potter in that mix, too.
Are there any DA-something else crossover fics out there that involve Anders and aren't something I've written? I sort of want to read one now.

But yeah, i was highly disappointed that Sand wasn't offically doable. I mean, during the trial, with Sand and Torio taking potshots at each other, i suddenly stop caring whether or not I'd be innocent or guilty, and just wanted to rip his robes of and take him right there on the courtroom floor in front of Nasher and everyone. Get Grobnart to whip out his lute and play some funky porn music to accompany the scene.
Anders as a lawyer? Lol, that would be the trial of the century. Everytime he objects, Justice comes about and fries everyone in the courtroom with blue death rays. Awesome.

I've done several playthroughs of NWN2. My canon "romanced" (since offically in game, he can't really be) Bishop. I would say he's my favorite romance, because I have a fondness for psychopathic, mentally unstable homicidal sex fiend gate-crashing love interests. Never been much for kngiht in shining armor types. That said, I did like Casavir as an LI. Normally, I hate paladins, but Casavir was an exception. Though he isn't exactly fun at parties, his lacks the self righteous Lawful Stpuid tendancies that seem typical and common for Paladins. And of course, he was a little neurotic himself, which was rather endearing in its own way. He certainly deserved a better, more imaginative fate than getting squashed by rocks.
As long as he's not like Ajantis..."My lady, did you know that...blablabla...Helm...blablabla...smite all evil...blablabla" *SNORE*

Nope, nothing like that. He's quite mellow and non preachy. He only really ever pipes in when you're about to do something really evil, mean, or pointlessly selfish and cruel. He even objects to the PC attacking a tribe of goblins who are generally neutral and peaceable. He also objects to killing wounded, defenseless orcs, or even trying to kill Ammon Jerro, a pretty ruthless evil warlock. Like I said, he was the first paladin in the D&D game that i didn't want to boot stomp or b*tch slap everytime he opened his mouth.
Opposing lawyer: "Obje-" *BZZT*
Anders: "As I was saying..."
Judge: Council for the defense will stop hitting the prosecution with crushing prison, or I will fine you for contempt of court.
Anders: *slams judge with fireball* I hold YOU in contempt of court!
Jury: *looks at each other* Uh, we the jury find the defendant not guilty.
Prosecution: What? But...the defendant pleaded guilty and just confessed to the crime on the stand! And like, we haven't even gotten to closing arguements.
Jury: *looks at blue glowey anders getting ready to cast corrosive walking bomb* We definitely find the defendant not guilty. Court is ajourned. *jury runs for life*
Anders: *big sh*t eating grin* Johnny Cochrane, eat your heart out.

Nothing strange about healing fetish. It's the mage equivilant to all those naughty hawt doctor fantasies many people have.
Anders: So, Hawke, tell me, where does it hurt
Hawke: "rips clothes off, throws self onto examination table* Evereywhere. I think I need a full physical examination. In fact, why don't we start with a breast exam. Cuz, you know, can never be too careful about breasts.

Wasn't there a very well-done story in the kinkmeme that was along these lines?
Not like I would ever lurk the kinkmeme. :innocent:
Also, quoting the picture again because it is GORGEOUS.
