A lot of time the people talk out of their ass when they say things like this but, I'm naming my son Anders. Believe it or not, it's happening.


Aw, how sweet. I've always liked it - it's a rather common name where I come from, and is one of those names that isn't terrible for poor english-speaking tongues to pronounce.

It is a rather common name where I am from as well and I know a lot of Anders (All though we pronouce it differently).
I like it too-

Hm, my highschool was named after gen. Anders. Władysław Anders was one of the polish lieutenants who took a part in WWII. 
So it could be done in Poland, I guess. It would be unusual name but not weird.

I appear to have an issue with Legacy banters. I've been doing it before All That Remains in Act 2, just so Hawke could get in one last chat with mother dear at the end (seems to be a fitting conclusion the "family" story arc). But while checking some dialogue on the Wiki, I noticed that Hawke is apparently supposed to say something after fighting Anders (namely after he says "I hope I can hold against him, against them both"), but neither one of mine did, romance or no. Is this a glitch, or does the comment only fire in Act 3?

My teams have always been Anders, Varric and the sibling (once Beth, and once Carver).

And random fun fact concerning his name: he's actually a name drop from previous BW games, as they're so fond of doing. I remember running across an NPC called Ander in NWN (there was also another one called Reegar, and yet another one called Geth), and I'm pretty sure there was an Anders in one of the BGs as well.

I assume that's a glitch because I've always had that dialog no matter what act I played it in, romanced or not.

Hmm...Well, I did have Varric chiming in, saying something like "let's not do that again, Bianca hates being turned against her friends". Maybe he overrides Hawke's comment? Which would suck, since I can't imagine not bringing Varric along, as he has a personal quest.

That might mean you'll have to take Sebastian instead. And no siblings for better experience - they override some of the dialogue and banter too.

I've been avoiding the threads since I had nothing to contribute because I hadn't done MotA yet.

I did it on my least favorite Hawke since she killed Anders. Might have contributed to my dislike of the DLC.

Bah! I was trying to go for storyline relevance...Doesn't help that Seb's my least favourite companion by a wide margin. Image IPB Is he the least likely one to override dialogue then?

@ Sia: Aw...that means you missed out on awesome Anders-Fenris bickering!

But I do agree that, apart from the inter-party banter, I found MotA underwhelming.

That and no one acknowledged the fact that my Hawke was Viscount. 

Ah, well, I find I dislike this particular Hawke because she killed Anders.  I'm not even going to recycle her to replay her story (she also made Carver a Templar, another of her decisions I dislike).  Fenris will get a new Hawke.  But Anders will remain alive.  And he'll end up with Margaret. ;)

I'm counting on the fact, that he's a DLC character. Apart from that, It would make no sense for him, to be more concerned about Anders then romanced Hawke. Then again it makes as much sense with Carver :mellow:  But Carver has some relevance to the story - maybe that's it.

That was properly because you Hawke isn't Vicount. The dlc so far has been pre-endning so no Vicount Hawke yet.
It is good to have a dlc trying character though, before using the favorite characters. I have my first playthrough Hawke still and I always do it with her first, then I do it with my Fenris romancing one, then wíth my rival Hawke and then with my canon so I am sure that my canon Hawke doesn't missess out on anything and I know who to bring.

Carver doesn't seem to be messing up that particular dialogue though, Varric is.

I'm wondering though...is it possible to backtrack all the way to the party switching spot once you reach the tower base? It would be a LOT of hassle, but it would mean that I could swap Varric out once all his plot-relevant stuff is done (finding his ancestor, which happens before Anders freaks out). Hmm...I have a save prior to that moment, I should try at some point.

Yeah, it is a good strategy. I do it with my 1st playthrough Hawke too. Her one biggest problem, the one that prevents her from being canon all by itself? She's diplomatic.

Beyond that though, I still haven't made a final decision on my canon: mage or rogue.

I think it is possible. I remember running out of injury kits after beginning looking for the ancestor some times and backtracking all the way to the party thing to switch companion and loose their injury.

Update: So, it is possible to backtrack to the party swapping point, but...Seb actually HAS something to interject, and it overrides Hawke's dialogue, same as Varric. "If the Maker wills it, so it shall be." Thank you for that wonderful piece of insight, Seb. Why, you're just as useful as Elthina Image IPB

I'm starting to think I'm gonna have to duo that fight with Beth/Carver to get Hawke to pipe up...Unless some other party member miraculously has nothing to say.

Update n°2: Ok, so unless Beth's/Carver's mere presence is magically preventing Hawke from talking, this is a bug. I've just tried with Beth and Merrill, and neither one interjected after the fight. But then, neither did Hawke.

Update n°3: Yep. Even if I take everybody out, and it's just Anders and Hawke, she STILL won't say anything. Image IPB

As Isabela would so eloquently put it: balls.

But Anders was dead, so unless the thing is supposed to take place in the middle of the final battle, yes, she was Viscount.

 More randomness from me... Does Anders' Manifesto exist in a form we can actually read? I haven't found it on the net in my searches and am at work so I can't check to see if it's in the game's codex...

I think all DLC is supposed to take place pre final battle, so if Anders is dead, that's just weird and he shouldn't be, really. My brother had that too - both Anders and Fenris were dead (how careless of him!) for his DLC shenanigans :/

That is some kind of bug or oversight. It is pre-final battle it was stated in the offical tread somewhere. If Anders is dead it is propbly because you save is contaning the data for the import to da3 or the eventual expansion/after main campaing dlc and that needs to state who is dead and not. In Legacy it was really only Anders that got special treatment as well anyone else who left you for the final straw was awayl. (I am guessing it is because he is the healer)

Also if it was not made pre-Last straw the dlc would only make sense for vicount Hawke since there is no way a fugtive Hawke would ever be inviteted to that party.

I don't think so. You only get the two lines in the rival playthrough. I demand that the thing has iconic status in da3 and is distrubuted everywhere for mages to read (SO we can read it as well)

There is supposed to be dialog with Tallis acknowledging your Viscountcy, if you do it after the end game.  It is a bug.

I doubt that. Laidlaw was asked in his annocement tread and he said that it was pre-final battle.All dlc so far will be. 
 And again. Fugtive Hawke would never set foot at that party since s/he would be arrested in two second tops.
