Yeah. Trust me, it would be great if I got the good parts. I only got the bad parts: the insufferable know-it-all thing, the switching languages to prove a point thing, the self pity thing and the snarky-but-not-funny thing.
Oh, well. Make do with my talents: declension, maths and dick jokes.
I remember that quote. xD It is true. I never play myself in videogames - I always create a character that I would find interesting if they were in some game/movie/book, which means that at least a little crazy is required. And crazy loves its company. They wouldn't go for someone who's "normal." It's out of character.leggywillow wrote...
One of the devs commented on that issue before, on how the most fun video game romances are NEVER people you would recommend pursuing in real life. And it's true! A lot of the best fictional romances are only compelling due to the sheer craziness of the people in them. XD

I don't really have a preference based on character class. I just pick my character first and let the chips fall where they may around them. It usually ends up that the class I like playing the most ends up being the class of my favorite party member, so there's always some overlap (aside from like, Alistair). For Anders? I don't really have a preference. I like playing mages so I played a mage, but I like non-magic classes just as fine. It has more to do with the personality of the character I am playing than their weapon of choice. Like, I wouldn't pair all my hypothetical mages with Anders just because they're mages (nor all my hypothetical warriors or hypothetical rogues, etc). Character dynamic is more important to me, so I'm just like "Ehhhh, whatever." when people start with the whole "X BELONGS WITH Y BECAUSE IT IS BETTER", like the whole "only renegades should be with Garrus" or "only Couslands belong with Alistair" BS from the before times xD

Only women belong with Leliana. Only Paragons should be with Kaidan. Only douchebags belong with Anders.

Atton and Anders are definitely my two favorite video game romances as well.
And
they're both utterly bats***. Especially since I Dark Side romanced
Atton...most simultaneously adorable and creepy romance ever.
Atton was just a big jealous jerk, and I loved him for it. ^__^

I hated playing a warrior in Origins. You were so FREAKING SLOW.
Rogue was my preferred class in Origins, Warrior in DA2...though it's a tough choice.

I agree that rivalmance is generally hotter but .. we can be warrior and still be pro-mage 8D hahahaha so there is no preference on class, I think. There can be preference on Hawke's belief (Templar or Mage) though.yukidama wrote...

There's also a whole "only mages belong with Fenris, rivalmance is sew hawttttt" thing that I've seen around the boards, which is super amusing to me.

<3 I pretty much fangirled so hard for Atton that I wrote fanfics about him and I hadn't written fanfics since I was twelve. It was a pretty insane crush. I think I like my love interests with a dash of tortured past and a generous helping of awesome jealousy. Seriously, Atton's conversations with everyone about the Exile were great.

Was anyone else confused when Anders tells you that Vengeance only comes out when "he's lost all control over himself" and he canot bring him out at will, but in the very next conversation you have with him he can start glowing and still has his own voice. Seems very much in control of himself, just.... angry.
He makes my brain hurt.
Hey, with dual wielding + momentum + that warden's keep ability, you could get the highest attack speed in the game without running into the haste bug as a warrior!Purposeof-Flight wrote...

I'm pretty sure that every single thing Anders tells you about his and Justice's relationship stands in stark contradiction to every other thing he tells you about his and Justice's relationship. I never know if he's lying or if he just doesn't know himself.

Since the idea of anyone finding me more than an insufferable bore is weird, I'm going to just leave this.
SurelyForth wrote...
LOL See, I could hear Arcade saying all of that!
As for mage v. non-mage...
I'm one of the few fic writers who writes Anders with a non-mage Warden and I've become addicted to the dynamic from that. I was actually afraid that DA2, with its emphasis on MAGEMAGEMAGE that it would be difficult to romance him as a warrior or rogue. Fortunately (or unfortunately, if you're one of the THREE mages I have languishing in Lothering), it was not an issue at all. I still love the dynamic of a warrior and a mage, especially since my particular warrior is always in the thick of things and depends on Anders to keep her from getting in over her head. Deathwise.
And I've said it before, but Bethany really helps me roleplay a Hawke who is fiercely protective of the ones she loves and who honestly believes that mages that are shown kindness are less likely to turn to abominations. It's why, even though she's not irrational, she thinks the Circle doesn't work as is because mages are imprisoned rather than...gathered? She wouldn't be so opposed to the system if it was more like a university or commune, where mages could have their families with them and live relatively normal lives.
Ultimately, though, I think that playing a mage that romances Anders in this game would feel too on the nose. Also, I really take Anders' insistence that Hawke could have a normal life without him. A non-mage, I think, would have more options, so taking that leap with him in the end seems like a sacrifice of the power Hawke held as Champion and the things she could have had if she'd just let him fall on his own.

Random thought, and if this has already been discussed to death, feel free to tell me to go get a nice, big cup of STFU...
But I'm curious, out of all us Anders-mancers, how many prefer a mage Hawke vs non-mage Hawke?
I don't believe what he said after blowing up the chantry ... "he ceased to be". No, Anders is wrong. Justice is still there, eating up Anders from inside.Batteries wrote...

I took everything he said with a grain of salt because I doubt he ever knew.
