Indeed, it's a ridiculous ending.  I'm glad that it seems to be so bugged it's unobtainable, since it really doesn't fit with Anders's character at all.


Seriously.... **** that ending. I don't even care if other people take it but it's BS and I have nothing but hate for it.


I'm torn, because usually I'm 100% in favor of people having as many ridiculous options in their games as they want.  It doesn't mean *I* have to take them, after all.  But in this case, I really wish that ending wasn't there (or that it remains impossibly bugged), because it really doesn't fit with Anders's character AT ALL.  And the poor guy really doesn't need to give even MORE fuel to his haters.

I dunno, I feel like shouting "HYPOCRITE!" at my monitor every time Anders preaches at Merrill.  And I took them both everywhere in my Nightmare game as part of my permanent party.

Troll is absolutely not the right term for what Anders does if he blows up the Chantry then sides with the Templars. It's completely misleading and undervalues his complete ****tery in such a scenario.

Yes I agree, I just tried it out on my non romanced rival path as I was there and ya know for science lol

Anyway what annoys me more is there should be a similar conversation to this templar one if you do the rivalry path and side with the mages. Also when you ask Anders if justice blew up the chantry he should say yes on the rivalry path or that path has been for nothing.

I don't know if this is bugged or just they couldn't be bothered to do a separate ending but it completely kills the rivalry path for me and all the work I put in to helping Anders see what he did was wrong and fighting against it and all the work Jennifer Helper put into making the rivlary path unique. It's like he just caves at the end and reverts to friendship conversation. I really hope this is a bug, but I imagine it's probably a case of they didn't have the time or the budget and thought it wouldn't matter :(

In my eyes that's the ending where Anders pays the piper.

"Sorry boyo, Keran and his sister need to eat. Now be a good mage and heal me."

Anders talking to Merrill about demons reminded me a lot of Bristol Palin going around colleges speaking about abstinence...

That's a fair point.  

But Merrill is cute so I feel extra bad when he yells at her like he knows better.

I particularly like the song "In the Deep" by Bird York.

Thought you had

all the answers

to rest your heart upon.

But something happens,

don't see it coming, now

you can't stop yourself.

Now you're out there swimming...

In the deep.

In the deep.



Life keeps tumbling your heart in circles

till you... Let go.

Till you shed your pride, and you climb to heaven,

and you throw yourself off.

Now you're out there spinning...

In the deep.

In the deep.

In the deep.

In the deep.



And now you're out there spinning...

And now you're out there spinning...

In the deep.

In the deep.
In the deep.



And the silence,

all your secrets will

raise their weary heads.

Well, you can pin yourself back together,

well, who here thought you would?

Now you're out there livin'...

In the deep.

In the deep.

In the deep.



In the deep...



Now you're out there spinning...

Now you're out there swimming...

Now you're out there spinning...

In the deep.

In the deep.

In the deep.

In the deep...



:crying:

Seriously.

"Why can't mages just say 'No'?"
"Oh are you going to tell me Justice got you drunk first?"

I'm not sure it's all hypocrisy. Post-Dissent Anders does kind of know what he's talking about. Sure, he willingly became an abomination (even if he's kind of in-denial about this) but he is also uniquely qualified to see all the reasons that this is a problem and to try to warn Merrill when he fears that her consorting with demons will lead to the same thing...and probably would have if Marethari hadn't intervened. Hell, even Merrill told you to be prepared to kill her.

Her inability to take responsibility for her actions or come clean about them to people who are in a position to do something about it led to the entire city being held hostage by the presence of the Qunari for years.  Granted, she never pretended to be responsible in the first place, but she got problems too.

Oh, but I love her for her problems.
That **** kinda did ****** me off, though. Valid point.

I know what you mean.  Anders's hypocrisy really, really bothered me.  While I think his case is slightly different than other blood mages, it wasn't fair how he treated her.  I, myself, as a player and my mage character, had no tolerance for blood magic.  I felt it sullied the entire mage cause and I didn't go blood mage at all in DA2 (and probably ever will), so I'm still bothered by her actions and lack of concern regarding her clan.

I'm curious if anyone romanced Merrill, broke up with her and pursued Anders afterwards, and/or if that's even possible, I guess.  Is there any conversation about it in party banter later on, like Anders trolling Fenris about their breakup and his subsequent relationship with Hawke?

I don't know if I'd go so far as horrible, but they're definitely messed up, though depending on your play style, your Hawke can also be pretty messed up. lol!

Two, not one but two start wars. I'd say on a scale of horrible friends they're 11s.

I mean, messed up friends don't start wars. That I know of. One of mine I'm pretty sure is behind the Lybian conflict.

There's perfect then there's ****ed up. They can have a happy medium of begrudging loyalty.

But you're right, let's not give Bioware an excuse to cut more content.
