I think the only way to get the lute in your house is to take the elf girl as a slave/servant during the Fenris mission to kill the magister guy's apprentice lady. (sorry I can't remember names for the life of me)

She'll bring it with her when she moves in and you can then click on it for comments.

Edit: I don't have any Anders stuff you guys haven't seen so :P someone else feel free!

Now I really have to make up a warrior.

My first Hawke was a rogue, because I really wanted to play a non-mage/super-protective-of-mages character, and I liked all that zipping around on the battlefield. Now I'm playing a mage and attempting to rivalmance Fenris.

But I think I did that all wrong because now I always end up standing next to Anders while we both zing spells, with a perfect view of all his sexy mage moves, and it just makes me want to romance him all the harder.


My warrior pretty much started training so she could protect Bethany and be as intimidating as hell when she did so (I only wish Hawke could successfully intimidate more people, but she keeps insisting on using the dagger when she's got a big-ass sword strapped to her back...). And DW rogues are awesome (I so miss my DW warriors, though), but 2H can kill hordes at a time and there is something so intensely satisfying about...everything a warrior does in DA2. I started a male mage last night (and I hate him already) and immediately switched to Carver after the first group of darkspawn because mages seem so static. I get so bored when I have to micro-manage Anders in the High Dragon fights.

All that power at your fingertips is a nice idea, though. When Bethany randomly whips out some glowy hands to show Vincento that she and Hawke can be trusted to help Feynriel, I'm pretty sure Hawke had a bit of mage envy.

If you want some pointers on the mage I would suggest going with the lightning stuff (chain and tempest) then going into the Force Mage tree for the pull of the abyss. Just think of it this way...Sith Mage ;)

Yep, tell her to come find you in Kirkwall, and then tell Fenris you'll pay her when he objects, and you'll get friendship points with almost everyone. Only exception I've found so far is Isabela, who gives +5 rivalry.

I think I remember hearing the lute thing on my first playthrough where I didn't even know about Fenris' second act quest, so no elf slave. But I can't be certain, all my games are starting to blur together. >.<

I am curious about the socks! I wonder where they are... behind the ugly tevinter statue? Left balled up in our bed ? (ewwwww) In that stinky urn? (double ewwww)

I finally caught up with the thread (rush at work and I miss something like 30 pages?!?) I keep reading of Anders breaking heart and the angst and the depression. Not that I don't want to wallow in sadness and angst, I did most of my playthrough but once the chantry went JENGA! I felt like it was time to jump with Anders. Embrace that change that everyone warns you about and chantry be damned enjoy that exhilarating feeling of winning that battle with Meredith and run into the sunset together.

Isn't the socks for M/M Anders romancers?

Yeah.. but you could make a fic argument that it still happens with FHawke romances.

I'm at work now and for the next 8 hours... if no one has one by the time I get home - I'll try to get one, but  it will have to be a video with Hawke talking as it doesn't have subtitles.

I don't know why people are pissed that Anders goes to defend the mages. He's not a coward! It's awesome that he does that instead of going on the run. It's part of why I admire him so much. It's... beautiful.


Oh, I agree. I think it was more... he was mad at Anders for blowing up the Chantry. He wanted the man to get out of his sight. So when Anders came back, it really pissed the hubbers off. I think it was more of a "Get out of my sight before I change my mind" than him being mad about Anders wanting to defend the mages.

Conversation went something like this:

Husband: What the hell is he doing here? I told him to leave.
Me: He just wants to heeeelp. :crying:


Hahaha, I had that exact conversation with my husband, except I think I said, "You're his BUDDY! You helped him plant that bomb and everything!" And then my husband went <_<.

I was thinking it was only for lady Hawke. I've clicked that damn bed so many times hoping to get that comment and nothing but PAW PRINTS! Think I'll just give the stupid dog to Aveline, she seems fond of him.

My first character spent the whole game so tormented by having to make all these difficult choices. She supported the mages, but then the mages kept doing all these things that made it difficult to defend them to other people, the war with the Qunari, and she was thrown right in the middle of it all. Everything sucked, and then Anders asked her to help him gather components and she knew immediately that he was lying to her (I could hear it in his voice, subtle, wonderful voice acting), so she spent most of Act III going WTF? Why won't you tell me what's going on? And then Anders started hinting at bad things to come and talking like he wasn't going to be alive much longer... and by the time the Chantry blew... my character was shocked for a moment, and then it was just like this huge crushing wave of relief swept in. Like, "okay, THAT'S what I've been dreading. THAT happened, now all I have to do is deal with it. I know how to deal with things like this; pick a side and fight it out." It was so much better for her to finally be able to make a choice and feel good about it (because killing all the mages because of one apostate's actions? Um, no.). Also, everything Anders said started making perfect sense. You know, she spent the whole game frustrated and feeling helpless, and all the tug of wars were driving her crazy, and yeah, maybe this IS what it's going to take. Let's do this thing, honey. And honestly? It felt like the happiest ending I could imagine after dreading how horrible things could turn out for so long, being able to run off into the sunset with Anders.

Did you get the Black Emporium? If not, that might explain why he says "a mage and a grown man" rather than "paw prints".

And on a tangent (yes, I am tangent girl!), is anyone else completely horrified by some of Sebastian's party banter? During my last playthrough, Sebastian told Fenris (with Hawke and a romanced Anders standing right there) that they should turn Anders and Merrill over to the templars, that it was the Maker's will. Even Fenris was like "you take that up with Hawke, dude, I'm not going there."


I had Anders in my parrty and he went, "Hey, I'm right here" and something about the templars not catching him yet. And my Hawke was a mage too. No wonder not even Fenris would back Seb up.

You explain it better than I could in my first post.   It did feel like a good ending with enough tragic twist to make it meaningful and give it a staying power of reflection for days ( *cough* weeks) after. 

I do hope they dont flee toward an Orlesian sunset though.  I dont feel like DA3 surrounded by exagerated French accent.  Dont get me started on Hubert!

My ending was marred by all the mistakes I made and all my "I love you Anders, squee" disappeared when I had to kill Fenris.  That was so hard to take.  I still went on with it, killed Meredith, but my heart was not happy.  Not at all.  I care about all but Sebastian in my games, it was so horrid to kill one of my companions.
It didn't even have the beautiful poetic justice of Anders dying in my templar playthrough... I just felt soiled and awful and... ARG.
Must redo canon Anders, must! (that's Hawke from that playthrough in my avatar... she's sexy, I wonder if I'll make her look different...)

I thought it was a nice throwback to the Alistair/Wynne banter about dirty socks.
