God, I'm a little upset that is cut. That would have been such a wonderful ending. The romance death is lame. No closure. At least that line loops it nicely.
Any amount of closure with that outcome would have been nice. For a first playthrough my gut reaction would be (and was) not to want even the option to express love to the shiny new terrorist, but having the option is kind of wonderfully mindscrewy, and after knowing what happens the closure would be nice even if IRL or your rational mind would not even think to be all 'ilu'.
If that makes any sense.
Oh it makes total sense. I'm still not satisfied with my final 'canon' playthrough. I really don't want to keep Anders alive for what he did, but it rings stronger than the death scene where Anders is all like "Yeah. We've been together for SIX YEARS. And I totally manipulated you. But I totally love you too! And I'm not myself. But I am me. OMG I am so confused. I should be killed! You know what you have to do!"
And Hawke is like.
"Lolzk *stab - 4 second death* Let's go Hawketeers!"
No Justice flying out. No last words. Nothing. At that point, its as if he didn't exist.
Heck it would've been even more interesting if Fenris had the option to execute him. The death scene was sad, but missing something important.
I like that audio line. Maybe that's sort of what it needed.
This is like a million pages behind, but I'm just catching up.
See, I made my own form of appropriate ending on the templar side... by letting him go and then letting Fenris do all the fighting when Anders fights Hawke to defend the mages. So I guess that's like letting Fenris execute him.
It was sad, so sad, but far far far better than backstab cutscene.
I sometimes feel like I'm just a D&D player with a very morose dungeon master that keeps yelling "you're ruining my story" every few minutes.
