What.

Is that supposed to be comforting?

Anders is the king of romance and sympathy.
You'll see more of his brilliance as the game progresses.
My Hawke was like, "Dude. We're looking for my mother. A little more sympathy would be great." <_<
Anders: Sorry. I meant...we'll DEFINITELY find more than bones this time.
Hawke:.....Alright. Okay. I'll just....thank you, Anders.

See, my Anders would've been like, "We can't all be as tactful as you, Ms. 'Watch Out for Boneless Women Flopping About Town'."

Man, I am so late but I love this xD I never really got the whole "I MUST RP AS MYSELF WITH A CHARACTER WHO LOOKS JUST LIKE ME BLAHBLAH" mentality, honestly.

I never have either.  My little brother does that, and it weirds me out.  He always gives his PCs his own name (which he didn't even have to do for DA2 because his name is Garrett dohohoho) and makes them look like him.  And it's WEIRD.  I'm like, "Dude... but that's not you."

Yeah, really. I prefer to play a separate person from myself. Makes it easier to step away and be like "Yeah, this isn't me," especially when it comes to issues of sexuality and romance. Hell, in real life I wouldn't date any of the crazy people in DA, regardless of gender except Varric. I guess my version of wish-fullfillment is playing an interesting character who I like, as opposed to just... myself. If I were truly playing myself I'd have never made it out of Lothering anyway, haha.

Yeah, I'm not sure this sarcastic Hawke has a leg to stand on. Emeric was not impressed.

Hee! Yep, mine neither. That said, I THINK he's really trying to be reassurring, but as someone else pointed out, all the party members during All That Remains say some pretty weird stuff. And on that same playthrough, Fenris decided to give me his sympathetic (I use the word loosely) speech about my Hawke's mother dying while we were in the middle of a BATTLE. I think that's when she really decided she was surround by crazy--well meaning, but CRAZY--people. All I can say is thank the Maker for Varric, or my Hawke would have been a total wreck instead of mostly a wreck by the end.

I usually play characters that are pretty loosely based on myself but are clearly not me because I'm not a ridiculously good-looking unstoppable hero. They are reflective of my aesthetic preferences and general moral compass, however, at least on the first playthrough. I never give them my name though. I have a friend who always names every character after himself and it seems weird to me.

Oh but I will use "I" and "me" instead of "my Hawke" or "my Warden" on the boards because it's shorter and I'm lazy.

Oooo! I got 5 rivalry points for saying "Maybe the templars are right" after Leandra's death. I've always had him at full friendship before, so I'd never gotten any points in that conversation.

That's one of my favorite convos in the game.

[Anna Rardin]

ahahaa, yea, my boyfriend uses his name all the time. but it's because he's too lazy to think up a name P:

[Kawamura]

My favourite is saying it's my Hawke's fault. Because, a), it's IC and , the "I wish I could have known her" about Leandra just made everything feel very real to me.

That's when I really tear'd up got something in my eye.

I am confused, I was just playing DA 2 (again) and While on my way to the house in high town we got ambushed by random thugs #45 and he had Vengeance active, but I didn't give it to him and it wasn't on his bar! I am so confused....did I miss something. Hawke was close to dying is this just something I always missed or did he bug?

Edit: Also he can cast anything he wants too...maybe I triggered his god mode?

Edit: Photo proof:

after the Dissent quest I think the game gives it to him automatically. If you had him set as damager maybe he activated it through tactics, unless you set custom ones then I don't know. Or maybe he had it active still from the end of the Dissent quest if this is just after it.

I say "I" and "me" sometimes mostly because there's always something of me in my characters and it blurs for me. But actors do the same thing, so I think it's probably natural. (<--justifies)

*thinks* Justification would probably be a demon instead of a spirit, wouldn't it? Hmm.

Exactly.  I live as myself all day every day; it gets kinda boring.  I'd rather meet/create new and interesting people.

And in real life, I wouldn't get within 10 miles of Anders and he'd be the kind of guy I'd warn all my friends away from.  The dude is undoubtedly messed up and has way too much drama.   But in a video game, my PCs can go down in flames with him and I can call it romantic.  ^____^

Hah, hm. Yes, there's a small piece of me in all my characters. Like Flemeth's locket.

And then you get to enjoy the experience of people telling you that you have various mental disorders in real life because your fictional character enjoyed the company of another fictional character who did something that they did not approve of.

Exciting times all around, really!

If your characters are anything at all like mine, they are probably desperately trying to pawn you off at this very moment.

I really don't like to play characters that are based after myself, simply because I feel like it limits my role-play options.

That, and I've always liked a particular brand of characters in stories/movies that (quite frankly) are more awesome than I'll ever be (unless I fall into a vat of toxic waste or something and instantly gain super powers instead of INSTANT DEATH.)

On-topic: while Anders comment during the 'All That Remains' quest is pretty insensitive in retrospect, the first time I played through that quest, it never really struck me as crass because me (and my Hawke) were SO SURE that Leandra would be perfectly fine, and that we'd be able to swoop in and save her before the worst possible outcome occurred.

Even replaying that quest with the knowledge that there's no way to save her, I still like playing characters that are either so confident or so optimistic that they're completely incapable of rationalizing that their mother may be dead until her reanimated corpse is right in front of them.

Probably one of the few things they have in common with Gamlen. DENIAL, WHUT?

My PCs are my secret to immortality.  As long as they exist, I will always have a foothold in the mortal world.  ::diabolical laughter::

To kill me, you must find and delete all of my PCs.  Which mostly would involve smashing my Xbox, but you would also have to find my flash drive!

...it's a pretty lame key to immortality, truth be told.

I would probably call the police on Anders.

Ah my PC's are usually nothing like me.

But god do I love my jerk PCs.

And my jerks with hearts of gold are my absolute favs.

That especially plays out well in the cutscene after you kill Quentin. Your character has their back turned and takes their sweet time retrieving their dagger (I've only played rogue up to that point) and turning around, and it really gives me the feeling that Hawke is putting off the moment of looking at their mother so they can keep pretending it isn't real.

I dunno, I think it's pretty effective. I mean I've played so many damn games by now *I* don't even remember all my characters. It'd be hard to destroy them all. *cackle*

I kind of wished my mage Hawke had set the corpse on fire or something instead of throwing the knife, even though it looked cool.

I got that impression too about Hawke taking their time before turning around.
