I'm married and have a 2-year-old, hehe. And my husband and I's conversations consist of Dragon Age 2 topics these days. The romance, the politics, the tragedy, we talk and talk about it all and muse about the future of Thaedas.

It's neat to see I'm not the only one that had this game affect me on such an emotional level. I can't stop thinking about it either.

I wish my husband played video games at all, let alone get wrapped up in awesome RPGs.  I'm the geek in our household.  He just likes cars and boats and.... and Adam Sandler movies.  ::sigh::  Sometimes I think my husband and I definitely have a "rivalry romance"... LOL. 

These forums are my only outlet for Dragon Age discussion and Anders fangirling.

My husband is a huge geek too, but he still hasn't beaten DA2 because he's had to work super late (as in 3 AM some nights). So I keep sighing endlessly about him needing to beat it so I can talk to him about it. Although, I have a feeling they will be unhappy talks since he hates Anders. XD I don't think I helped matters when I admitted I thought Anders was really hot.

O hello, knew there had to be one of these threads somewheres >.>

Bioware's games have always brought out my inner romantic sap, but I think this time they've definitely outdone themselves

 I feel pretty embarrassed by the fact ... that I was ... very against Anders being in the game to begin with. 

Damn, this thread moves too fast for me to catch up. I can't even browse anything else while I reply here, heh.
I was the exact same way. "That mage better not be Anders". "What?! It's Anders after all? Crap." I didn't like the overly-perky Anders from Awakening.

Oh, thank goodness I'm not the only convert! xD I'm a pretty opinionated (and vocal) person. When I saw rumors of Anders being in the game, I was like WUT NO. Because I knew that there would be a male human LI reveal, and I was racing through possibilities. And just telling me, oh, it's that crazy woobie you met in Awakenings was like D:

But I'm not too prideful to not apologize for jumping the gun. I was uninterested in him out of spite, and thought it was weird that people were gaga over him, because I was intentionally being closed-minded. Even though I also felt an attraction to him in Awakenings (albeit with my married Warden). It's really amazing how I turned around, which could not have been an easy win, considering how I wanted to not like him.

Good thing I'm also a very loyal person, so now I can defend this feeling to my grave.

When I started Anders' romance, I kept thinking "well, this is more...tender than I expected it to be." and it seemed to me like the devs went about this romance in a "Look at this fuzzy kitten! - As I CRUSH IT!" kind of way. "Also, tired of saving the world? Good, because you're not going to do it this time. In fact, you can't. You're helpless. And your entire family dies! In your face!"

LMAO, yeah.

I figured ... I knew they were too happy. When two characters say that they love each other in the middle of a story, something is about to go horribly wrong. I was preparing myself for whatever may come, however not successful in coming up with any ideas. Maybe he'd massacre people. Maybe he'd die to prove a point. What he did, and how cruel it was, and how I played a part in it, was completely unexpected and all that warm fuzzy feelings of seeing him in your house went out the window. I am challenged, as a character, about how deep my love for him really is. Which makes me, as a player, love him quite a lot.

I pulled my husband into my geeky world 8 years ago >.>

Also, does anyone know where I can get the Mp3 for the reworked Florence song from the credits? Itunes only has the original one.

Does anyone else have unrealistic hopes of a DLC quest where Hawke finds Anders a kitten?

...anyone?

Okay, I've got it bad.

@ Rheia1234: I wish I could say. It's not on the soundtrack, so I've been Youtubing it.

I still want that Ser Pounce-Alot DLC mentioned a while before the game's release.

It was so nice to see a post from Jennifer about that kiss! Everyone involved should be given cookies, lots of cookies and kittens, lots of kittens.

After catching up on this thread after my nap, I'm sure trying to romance Fenris on my third playthrough is going to be futile...argh...

Oh well, Friday night...wine...Anders...a great Friday night... right....right?

I am new to the forums...been lurking around a bit...but just started posting today. I am reading through this one but am not completely caught up, so if you don't mind sharing what did the writer post about the kiss? Thank you so much!

When I first got the game I started my first game and by act two realized I had missed some armor upgrades for Varric and Aveline. So I started over and finished that play through a few days ago. I was a bit disappointed by it all and swore I would not do another play through but I think I will after a few days of hopefully not obsessing over it. I am a perfectionist when it comes to games so I want to make sure I collected everything and did everything and have a save (if necessary) ready for DAO 3 or whatever may come next.

You can actually hit the "bioware" titled under threads in the forum list to see all the posts made by the developers. But to answer you, here's her post.

Yes, I did write the panting. And Adam was absolutely amazing at all the emotional stuff. I think he deserves a lot of the credit for bringing the new Anders to life. Also kuddos to Jon Epp who did the cinematic design on the kiss scene. I was pretty blown away myself at how well that came together.

Maker bless her for writing the panting! Don't tell me I'm going to have to reload that scene AGAIN....

Bi Anderps gets the best lines, it would be almost unfair, if I had any drive to play a Lady Hawke. (Boultonnn )

"Does it bother you that I've been with men?"
"I just had... never considered..."
"Well, perhaps I'll give you time to consider, then... in as much detail as you fancy."

It's like Old Anders showed up for half a second!

2nd replay, had Anders with me as I went to Bartrand to join the expedition and I loled for about 5 minutes when he said "a wizard did it".
Oooh, Community references in games are awesome.

D:  So jealous!  But I hate playing as a stinky boy.

Boulton's voice is amazing though, better than Wyatt's IMO. I didn't really have a problem with it. Kind of like how Shepard and the Warden are female to me, Hawke is male. It just clicked better, and bonus awesome lines 

It's weird but I really just... don't want to play DA2 as a female Hawke. At all. Despite being female myself.

Am I the only one who searched all over Kirkwall for a kitten? As soon as Merrill mentioned the litter of kittens, I went on a mad hunt. Granted, this was when I had exiled myself from the internet to avoid spoilers and didn't know his only gift was an amulet.

I demand a kitten for Anders DLC.

Hawke: Dear, I'm still not happy about that Chantry business... but I got you this anyway.
Anders: Who's a wubbly wittle kitten? You are!

[Eydris Ivo]

Well, I've been following the mod forums and they have been able to get some characters into their underwear. Perhaps it won't be long until we have shirtless Anders conversation after the love scene.

[HolyJellyfish]

I always found it very tragic that in Act 3, Anders' dry sense of humor picks up far more than it did in the last two acts. Before he blows up the chantry, he really impresses this aire of "I am becoming a perfectly happy normally healthy person!" and reminds me of the old Anders from Awakenings.

In hindsight, it was just to enjoy every day since it would be his last, but dear god, that was just sad.

[jab19782010]

In reading this forum I have found some things I have missed about the romance...one being something about a lute. When I bring myself to the third play though I will be sure to do it.

Two moments that stuck out for me was in Act 3...clicking on Uncle Gamlen made him make the comment about hearing I moved "that apostate boy" in with me and how I was just like my mother. The second moment was banter when Merrill told Fenris Anders broke the one thing that made him happy (I can't remember the exact wording). I teared up...

I imagine it was because he was finally driven and had a plan in motion.  He had discovered his purpose, as it were.

See, I accidentally spoiled myself about him blowing up the Chantry before even starting to romance him, but even though I knew what would be done, I was still shocked at the way in which he went about doing it. In retrospect, it's funny how I allowed myself to disregard his warnings about "breaking Hawke's heart" because I just figured "yeah, yeah, sure, like always" and I'm pretty sure that's what the writers were counting on. And it resulted in my Hawke becoming a very, very damaged man. How delicious.

I completely agree that it
shouldn't be embarrassing and that the experience that is shaped is
valid. But, currently I'm the overall minority of being this affected
and heartbroken by characters in a videogame, most people mock me to no
end while gushing about Anders and other Dragon Age-y things. While
talking to other people about Anders and his massive tragi-mance I just
seem like a lunatic. And that's not fair.

I actually am
currently majoring in Game Art and Design and one of the main reasons
is to help contribute, in whatever tiny way possible, to get games to
the point where you don't have to feel embarressed for feeling emotion
and heartbreak during a game.

For now I just have rant and gush on the forums with the rest of the "lunatics".

I know what you mean and I actually wanted to say that the first time I posted. But hey, there was a time when nobody took movies seriously. This industry will get the recognition it deserves. I'm actually planning on getting into it as well, though I'm currently studying painting.

Oh and those two song recommendations were very good choices, Pseudo and Souris.
