I can't find this fanfic. Can somebody give me a link?

So I discovered why I couldn't find this fanfic. I truly am an idiot.... :facepalm:


It's because it's an Anders and Nathanial fanfic - not Hawke. Grrr... So yeah I found it last night if you still want to read it:

No activity here in a while. How about livening things up with a question. I don't have LolaLei's flair for them, but I'll give it a go.

Assuming that you didn't murder-knife Anders in your game, and assuming that your Hawke did *not* romance Anders, because if s/he did, Hawke and Anders would be together, what kind of cameo do think he will have in DA3?

Disclaimers: Yes, I know, this is the time for folks to chime in with "fertilizer" or some other thing indicating that Anders got the murder-knife. Already been done. Move on. And yes, I know that for a lot of people, myself included, the idea of Hawke *not* romancing Anders is unthinkable, but give it a shot.

My entry: The protagonist encounters Anders leading a group of mage children to safety. The protagonist can help or hinder according to his/her conscience.

Probably in some mage rebellion related quest.

*FOR THOSE WHO HAVE NOT READ ASUNDER SPOILER ALERT*

It would be nice to hae him in a quest related to reversing the rite of tranquility. I could easily imagine that Anders would take it upon himself to free the tranquil. It would apply to both his healer personality and justice. Freeing the oppressed and gaining support/manpower for the rebellion.

[berelinde]

Good call, cowoline. That would be satisfying.

This is the freakiest thing...I was just thinking about this too. It was more just the potential of a fanfic of 'did Anders find out'? (I suspect he did because he's got ears in the mage underground which I'm sure still exists...) and what he would think about it....

I think it would make for a great story.

I want ot see Anders again but it seems that we will save Fenryel.

Hmmm... interesting question, Berlinde.

Assuming Hawke did *not* romance Anders, or romanced someone else, but perhaps was alone at the end, and assuming that Asunder is/will become canon, I will make the following assumption:

Based on the book, we know that Anders wasn't at the meeting and was only mentioned in passing in the entire book. We also know from the gift of the amulet that he showed some interest in Tevinter. So, based on that, I'm going to guess that Anders, perhaps, headed to Tevinter.

[esper]

I sincerely hope not, I do not want the justice's part of him to witness the Tevinter slavery system. That would not go over well.

[cowoline]

And so started the story about how the Black Divine got blown to bits!

[Naqey]

That depends very much on what decisions you made during the game, I guess.

If you played on the rivalry path, and managed to convince Anders to side with the templars (is that even possible without romancing him? Until now I've not managed to do either: side with the templars nor refrain from romancing Anders):
In this case I don't think he would still be alive. I don't think he would have actually committed suicide. But his anguish and inner conflict would have reached such a level as to completely incapacitate him. Torn between a Justice/Vengance part of his personality that would want to go on supporting the rebellion and an Anders part overcome by deep regret: I think Anders would be crippled to the point of not being able to act sensibly at all. Sooner or later the templars would get him. Since they cannot possibly make him tranquil... the only other punishment they would devise is execution.

If you chose friendship path:
Well, in that case Anders would have been so confirmed in his views, thanks to Hawke's support, that I cannot think of him choosing any path but the one of further revolution. After the events of Asunder, he would definitely try to align himself with any mages willing to challenge the supremacy of the Chantry/Templar Order. In a leading role, I would say, because Justice would not let him aim for anything lesser. Depending on the rebellion's fate... it would either mean a quick death for Anders (if the Templars manage to put down the rebellion), or an Anders who becomes increasingly excessive in the methods he is willing to apply. We have seen the "first step" of it already; I don't think that the Anders of act I would have already been willing to blow up the chantry. But then... the more fanatic you get, the blinder you get... the more excessive, cruel and violent you get. Vengence is the force behind blood feuds, after all.

My personal conclusion: any future Anders has that does not involve Hawke is dark and depressing. Fortunately nothing of that will ever happen in my head canon... that's what I console myself with...

That portrait ladyofpayne posted is gorgeous. I'm a sucker for that nose

According to the Wiki, it's possible if you're at 100% rivalry, regardless if he's romanced or not. But in both cases, he hints that, once the showdown is over, he no longer wants to live.

I pretty much agree with this, although I do believe that being away from Kirkwall might temper Justice a bit. I think the fact that the Veil in the city is extremely thin (cf. all the Codex hints) exacerbates every conflict in general, and makes Justice/Vengeance specifically more vehement and difficult to control. I wouldn't find it too outlandish if a non-romanced friended Anders would eventually somehow manage to keep a lid on Justice once out of Kirkwall. In which case, I wouldn't be surprised to encounter him in a rebellion-related quest in DA3 (helping fugitives or coordinating some kind of supply mission/manoeuvre).

Wow!! No one's posted here in 9 days. Shocking.

Anyhoo is anyone in the UK watching the awful show Superstar where people are trying to XFactor their way onto Jesus Christ Superstar? One of the contestants seriously looks like Adam Howden...like, so much like him that I did a serious double take when he came on.

http://superstar.itv...ts/david-hunter

Okay so that photo doesn't really look like AH but seriously....he does on the show. lol...

[berelinde]

Yeah, it's been pretty quiet. People are still talking about Anders, but they're doing it in individual threads.

[Dwarva]

Just randomly turned over to some channel I've never been on before (Sony Channel?) to see Adam Howden on Holby City just after I switched off DA2.... I wonder if he's stalking me... Or if I'm unwittingly stalking him?

[PatrickBateman]

The best thing about DA2 is that you get to kill him, by far and large the most hideous character ever to appear in any game.

You shouldn't be in this thread. And not everyone killed him so you just have to live with that.

[berelinde]

Every few weeks, somebody decides to jump in to say how much they enjoyed using the murder knife. I find that curious. What do they expect to get out of it? Congratulations? A lifetime supply of Turtle Wax?

Or maybe they're just trolls.

[PatrickBateman]

Yeah, now I'm gonna reload that save file and kill him again!

Can I have that turtle wax now please? XD

[berelinde]

Sure, here you go. Now run along and polish your staff.

[smallwhippet]

Makes me wonder if there's a direct correlation between the sort of player who would cheerfully use the murder-knife and those who like to troll good-natured threads such as this...

[Naqey]

It's so heartwarming to be reminded that *all* kind of people enjoyed Anders' character, in various sorts of ways!

[PizzaThe Hutt]

Anders has his ups and downs.
