@Ryzaki I think making him tranquil would make him even MORE of a martyr to mages, since they fear being made tranquil over being killed. "He did this terrible thing, and the Chantry didn't even have the decency to kill him for his crime the way they would a non-mage. Instead they added insult to injury and made him forget all he was."

Makes it a lot easier for the Chantry to parade him about and cow people into submission, though (especially considering it's something many mages fear more than death). Corpses go bad too fast for that.Miri1984 wrote...

I personally see Anders lost a lot of respect from my characters when he placed a bomb in the Chantry and used them to do it.
If he wants to kill a large amount of people go ahead. But don't try to blackmail my Hawke into helping him.
He makes me feel so conflicted. At times I just want to tranquil him (sadly I can't because of Justice) and others I want to give him a hug.
Gah. Why don't you just kill him? Why would you want to do the one thing he fears most?

I have no idea what is going on in this pic but drawing them doing cute gay stuff is helping me de-stress :|
Also Farron is totally lying, he's a big ginger tabby named Ser Puts-Up-With-A-Lot.

Because I'm the player and it's funny.

So. Completely off topic for the current conversation, but anything to divert another Friendship/Rivalry discussion, right?
Something I was thinking about was one of the banters that Aveline and Anders shared:
Anders: Your husband agrees with me.Aveline: About what?Anders: He thinks the knight-commander's mad. He told me she's gone behind your back to investigate guardsmen she suspects as secret mages.Aveline: Even if that were true, he wouldn't tell you.Anders: He won't fight for her when the time comes. Would you turn against your own husband?Aveline: I don't know if you're lying or crazy.
Don't jump down my throat here, fellow Fanders, but... what if we found out that Anders was, indeed, lying? Or if his paranoia was worse than we've given him credit for?
His year in solitary, his story of the possessed cat, his belief that Alrik was a sexual sadist, his claims of being part of the mage underground: what if they were all either lies or delusions? What if we found out that he lied about his past just like Emile de Launcet in order to gain attention and infamy that was undeserved? Or that he actually believes the things he says due to grandiose or persecutory delusions?
What other things could he theoretically be lying about? If we start from the idea that nothing he says can be trusted without secondary confirmation, how does that change the character?

I thought about that, but Fenris and Donnic hang out on a weekly basis and Aveline has no idea until he tells her. So I think it's entirely possible that Donnic has talked to Anders, too.
But we know the Mage Underground is real, because there's a Codex entry and you help them. We know that Alrik was a sexual sadist because we see him tell Ella that she'll do whatever he wants as a Tranquil.
I do think he's paranoid, but I don't think he lies except for when he tells you about the potion. Mostly because he's a terrible liar then. "My love", my ass.

Also, did he buy his armor at Wade and Herren's?
The Boss made me bawl harder than anything that'd actually happened to be in real life. God dammit, Kojima.MelfinaofOutlawStar wrote...

*melts* Is it shameless of me that I think one man is great, but two men kissing are even greater?
