Man, there were so many bomb references in that quest it wasn't even funny.  The "balm," Anders saying "boom," when talking about separating himself from Justice, the fertilizer (which is a common ingredient in bomb materials)... Yeah Anders, good job at being subtle, I'M ON TO YOU BUDDY.

SIGH.  Why can't I quit you.  I've said this about 3423423424 times in the last few days.

That number amuses me for more reasons than it should.

And I had no idea poop was an ingredient in bomb materials.

Yeah just look at the ingredients of the bomb that was used in the Oklahoma City bombing.  Yeesh.  

Which is, sadly, a better parallel than most other Real Life things this has been compared to.

I always knew the ingredients for bomb making were relatively common, but I had no idea that my toilet held some of them. Oh dear.

@AquilaChysaetos: HAH.

Just pointing this out, as I've seen it come up a few times: The three main ingredients in gunpowder are potassium nitrate (also known as saltpetre, or sal petræ), charcoal, and sulphur (the drakestone was mentioned as being a yellowish rock).
He was making a type of gunpowder, but I can only assume it had some sort of lyrium mixed in for the special effects. Gunpowder can pack quite a boom, but it generally doesn't suck up tonnes of masonry into the sky as well. Makes me wonder if that was partly why he had the maps for the deep roads in the first place: to get the lyrium.
As soon as he said "sela petrae" I was all...  , and then got all excited because I wanted to be in on the secret too. When Hawke, in the Deep Roads, mentions that she gets explosives and darkspawn and it's not even her birthday? That is me IRL right there. Oh, how I laughed. And then cried, because Anders kept the good stuff for himself.

Oh my dear, pretty hobo. Let us go eat some Twix and play Jenga.

I... really, really want a picture of Anders and Hawke sprawled out at home doing exactly this. 

Same here.

Strip Jenga.

[insert inappropriate joke about unwrapped Twixes here]

Anders would have an unfair advantage, what with his hobo bib and other bits of random fabric, feather, and belts. Plus he'd probably plant the tiniest of poop bombs to ensure victory.

The whole mages-templars dynamic can be amazingly interesting, even romantic, theoretically. If the templars could exist as a separate entity from the Chantry - something like grey wardens who keep an eye on both the mages and the Chantry and only interfere when there is actual need. Maybe that could be their whole purpose - to serve as peacekeepers who never interfere with any politics supporting one side or the other but sort of work to maintain a just relationship between the two.

Also I would not mind the whole Chantry thing at all if they were all peaceful and loving people. But there is just too much bull**** in their chants for my liking.

This is why I refuse to believe that a full scale war is going to spark anytime soon. Insurrections may last a few years, but I don't think it's going to be tantamount to the mass carnage some people are thinking of. Cullen said it himself, "it may be that the they are no longer one in the same" (in reference to Chantry vs. templar order). The Chantry will probably continue to enforce discriminatory laws, while templars independently find some way to resolve the conflict. I know Best Served Cold was a perplexing mess of a storyline quest, but it does prove that a concordant relationship between mages and templars is indeed possible. With Cullen promoted to Knight-Commander, he can provide a relatively impartial regime for other templars to abide by.

And I can't be the only one who wanted to stab that Denerim chantry sister's eyes with a few ice picks and stitch her mouth shut. "Awwwwlll men are the Work of our Maker's hands...." was making my ears bleed.

I think this is a fabulous idea. I would also add that I think they should take mages among their ranks. I think you need both mages and non-mages to ensure that neither side starts taking too much control again. Just mages regulating themselves--you might get another Tevinter. Just Templars, and you run the risk of another Circle.

Yes! Definitely! You are completely right. In fact, they should form a totally separate body of authority made of templars AND mages - they can work in pairs of a mage and a templar and you will get all those great friendships or romances even this way. They are there to serve as both watchmen and guardians for each other. And they will keep the peace between the Chantry and the Circles.

On a totally separate note, I have to admit when Anders blew up the chantry the first time I reacted all cowardly: I FREAKED OUT. I thought he was a demented evil person and that broke my heart and the whole darkness of the story just really depressed me. But then I THOUGHT about it, and yeah, obviously reached the same conclusion as most people here - I can pretend to be all pro-peace and anti-violence but in that prticular situation that was the worst thing to do - pretending things are okay and ignoring all the injustice. So now that I am fully into the mage revolution I have these fantasies of my Hawkette leading an army of mages against The Chantry. I will create an elite part of my mage army who will all be spirit warriors - with spirits of Justice and Valor and Compassion in them - all glowy eyed and gorgeous! Muahahahaha!

Now I want fic about Templar/Mage teams working together to police the mages. I love the way you described it.

Considering how effective elfmage Moira and Alistair were in combat... this is entirely plausible.  Not to mention an Anders/Fenris team kicked ass and took names.

What's this shrine thing I keep hearing about?

We have all agreed that no matter what, Anders has a thing for Hawke. Along with the 'I ached for you for three years' line, it's obvious that he's got a very odd obsession.

Hence- Hawke Shrine.

He goes about stealing Hawke's underwear.

Anders is working on making the head for his life size Hawke doll.

So romantic.

Ugh, ditto. I've been trying to rivalmance Fenris this playthrough and last night got to the part where he dumped me. I know Anders is going to give me a woobie face the next time I play, and goddamnit it is so hard to resist!

Argh, no, must resist!
What's that Anders, the Templars are after you and you need a place to stay? Sure, I'll look after you.

DAMNIT!

Somehow I don't think that's the only good use Hawke could think of.

Zero Punctuation Dragon Age II review

@Sialater: I've sorta already decided what my canon playthrough is, so I'm just mucking about with the others. It sorta makes it harder to stick to what I've said I'd do because *technically* it doesn't matter if I balls it up. Just FYI, I watched the Fenris friendmance on Youtube and the dialogue is a tiny bit more interesting. Incase that sways you at all. I can't bring myself to do a rivalmance with Anders, it's heartbreaking enough as it is!

Speaking of, I'm writing some angsty, angsty woe post-game fic. I'll post a link here when it's done.

This reference goes right over my head. But I lolled anyway.

And now my thoughts have derailed into a Hawke love pillow . . . oh dear.

This guy is funny he was mad at me for making a deal with the demon in the fade of course and various other choices then later on is getting all jealous I am with Merril lol. He made a comment to Merill something on the lines she will betray me sooner or later and that he could understand me sleeping with Isabela (which I had done at the beginning) but not her.
