Speaking of Anders songs, did anyone else find the first song to roll with the credits particularily moving? I already really love Florence + the Machine (and especially this version of the song) and I know that this song says in parentheses that it's Varric's theme, but somehow I'm Not Calling You A Liar hit me REAL hard.
Maybe I was still reeling from the ending (as I was teary-eyed and everything) but a few lines really made me think of Anders and now this song just strikes me as his theme. These lines in particular:
And I love you so much
I'm going to let you
Kill me
After the Chantry goes kaboom and I sided with the mages and we were left to decide his fate he says something like "I'm glad it's you" regarding his execution. Crying face. :[
There's a ghost in my lungs
And it sighs in my sleep,
Wraps itself around my tongue,
as it softly speaks
then it walks,
then it walks with my legs
Anyway, I'm curious: has anyone done a Merrill/Anders romance swap yet? I haven't read much about Merrill's romance and if it's possible to romance her, dump her and go for someone else. While I don't really care for her quests and her naivete regarding blood magic, I think some of her dialogue is really cute. I wouldn't mind my silly neutral Hawke hitting that and then cutting her loose. I'm going the rivalry path with a couple of people (specifically Merrill and Anders in this playthrough) and I just can't decide who to romance. I would like to romance Fenris, but... well, like most everyone else in this thread, I find myself hopelessly gravitating towards Anders no matter how hard I try.
Has anyone done this or know if there are comments in party banter?
