I thought it would have been nice if they spaced the romance out a little. In my playthrough, it went> first kiss, sex, love, moving in all in one freaking day. After three years of hitting on him to little effect, it felt like a lot at once.

Granted, my Hawke was a huge sap, so she was okay with it but I think it would have been nice to have the option to take it a bit slower.

EDIT: Oh no, top of the page. Umm... GIF!

YES

A MILLION TIMES YES

I picked the sammich option partly because I was like "my goofy Hawke probably thinks it's getting way too serious in here, plus dang dude, little quick to jump on the I LOVE YOU SO MUCH MWAH thing, aren't you?" and then she's all I LUFF U TIL WE DIE. I got whiplash. :(  I was cool with him moving in and stuff, I just really didn't think that line was appropriate for my LadyHawke. Hell, it's not appropriate for any of the Hawkes I've made so far. I ain't got time for sap.


I just rewrite it in my head.

Hawke asked him to stay over one night. Then a few times later that week. Anders' stuff just started accumulating and they never really had a proper "move-in" discussion. A key just showed up on the desk in the bedroom that Anders took over.

And possibly the mabari would be sleeping on the bed most of the time. Just... one day, with a tiny orange kitten on his back. And Hawke would claim ignorance of the whole thing.

Here's a video of someone friendmancing Anders with m!Hawke. I've never tried the f!Hawke one (mainly because I only play males), but just that Anders warns her beforehand not to get too close to him because he'll only break her heart (which doesn't happen with m!Hawke until Act 3), while he's a little happier to indulge in some early flirting with m!Hawke. Aside from a few special lines for both, there's also background about his past love that never gets mentioned with f!Hawke. It's up to you which way you prefer though.



Never played a male Hawke, so I never knew abt Karl. But I totally got the vibe that they were together. :P 

I made this earlier but with out font.

Circle Mages are so sexually repressed. No wonder they're so messed up.  Meredith wouldn't even let the ones in Kirkwall so much look at each other like that.

The Fereldan Circle was a lot more fun. Everyone was kissing everyone.

Is there any real difference between the femalehawke and malehawke romance scenes? 


You don't get the Karl dialogue with a fem!Hawke, he doesn't talk about "loving the whole person, not the body" and some of his lines later are slightly different. I also adore the M!Hawke "wanna sandwich" line. It's delivered fifty times better from M!Hawke than from fem!Hawke. My fem!Hawke sounds like she's serving High Tea in a royal palace when she says it. M!Hawke is all "Grrr, Hawke just had rough sex, Hawke hungry!"


Maybe Hawke isn't interested in that kind of sandwich.

oh ho ho ho ho ho.


He wants to make his night a Manwich night.

I agree. I thought the romantic obsessive lines were a bit too.... much after the first lay.

Anders is all "I WANT TO BE WITH YOU FOREVERZ"

And i wanted the option to say "Woah man... wooooaaaah. Let's relax...."

Then again, Anders had been obsessing over Hawke for three FREAKING years. If that doesn't spell crazy, I don't know what does.

... other than the Justice demon thing possessing his head. Eh, Anders is all kinds of crazy. Hawke doesn't need to be that mad.

Yeah. He only gives in, friend or rival, after he literally cannot take denying himself Hawke any longer since he's trying to protect her from a relationship with him.

And have I mentioned how much I loved your story? Posted Image

Oh well, just made it easier to run my sword through him. No more magical fisting for you, elfboy! 



Thank you, I now have to pick stray bits of rice off my laptop screen. :D

Although, on my 2nd playthrough, I decided to romance Fenris and Anders.  Too bad someone was talking and refused to shut up when Fenris and Anders got catty at each other.  You could hear the hate(/love?) in their barbs.

Mages in Ferelden aren't, and mages in general are actually less sexually repressed than the general populace. Meredith was just being a tyrant and taking one of the only freedoms mages have.

I didn't think it was that strange, besides the fact that Anders went from "I don't want to hurt you" to "let's move in together." I mean, the timing didn't seem off to me. Even if it was their first night together, they were building a relationship over the past three years. If he asked to move in after knowing her for a few weeks or something... yeah, that would be way too fast. But I imagine Anders and Kaya were very close after those three years, even though there wasn't much romantic involvement. But then again, she would totally let her friends move in too.

In Origins Wynne suggests at one point that mages actually have some kind of magical contraception method which helps them to be incredibly promiscuous ^^

My sarcastic Hawke's response to that was hilarious. "Way to kill the romance!" Helloo, lady, he just professed love for you and you offered him snacks, I think you might be just as at fault here...

Yeah I think the reason people were slightly outraged inthe beginning is because the whole build up of the relationship was skipped - we sort of got thrown at the bit where it finally escalates after THREE YEARS! So Id say after three years of being in love with someone id immediately agree to take them in if they asked. I'd probably beg, in fact. 

I sort of wish there was some equivalent to Alistair's rose though.

Yeah, I didn't find the declaration of love to be out of place. I always imagined them being sort of but not quite together for three years, so it felt right. I also didn't have a problem with him moving in. However, I still would have liked to space out things a little more though. I can't quite peg why. Perhaps it's just because I wanted more romance scenes.

EDIT to add:

This. It felt like a lot to me because the build up was left to my imagination mostly.

Yeeees, I found the "I want you right here. Until the day we die." thing it a little...out of place for my Hawke. I think we should've had a more lighthearted response. available I <3 Anders, and sure, I wanted him to move in, but I don't think I would've been that...dramatic about it. On the other hand, my femHawke was clearly chasing Anders around for three years or so, so maybe it was just a sudden outpouring of emotion. *shrug*

Yeah, she mentions it when she says it's rare for mages to get pregnant as she had. Also, the Ferelden mages were definitely getting it on. Duncan has a quickie with a Circle mage in the book "The Calling."

I find it the only way they'd be able to do it.

Anders would think his man is being puerile while Hawke slowly amasses clothes/books/materials for him untile he realizes one day that he's still spending most of the time at the clinic, but he comes home to the estate. I've also got it headcanon that Anders found his idea for an explosion in one of Hawke's books on natural philosophy.

I also felt the moving in bit related to the fact that it was safer from the templars in Hawke's estate rather than in his hovel in darktown. It was a move of convenience, but also love.

On a separate note (because I just got home and am catching up on 18 pages of forum discussion) let me just say the rivalmance is cringing!! My heart can't stand Anders reading his manifesto to Hawke trying to justify his ideals. It hurts me extra that he DOES believe in the Maker, he just refuses to accept that He would make mages as they are and then hate them for it and set his chantry after them. Also someone said earlier that Anders is selfish and stuff because he used Hawke and then told her/him that he will always have higher priorities than her. That leads me to believe every style of playthrough creates its own alternate reality or something, because in the friendship romance Anders constantly proclaims his love and thanks Hawke for loving him and supporting him and my favourite line: "You are the most importaint thing in my life, but there are things more importaint than my life or yours" I think that says it all really. Its up to your Hawke to choose if he/she wants to bind herself to a person like that.

This. Also, I really hate that it takes Hawke THREE YEARS of LIVING TOGETHER to give him the key to the cellar. I would have given him the key at the beginning of the Act 1 break, romanced or not. It's so ridiculously convenient.
