hmm just noticed the patch notes. Looks like Izzy's bug is fixed and Merril's story one but no mention of Anders's rivalry path fix. Maybe it'll be on the platform specific stuff or maybe it was discovered too late for the upcoming patch.

Argh I went to check out the Announcement forums for the Anders short story and HAD to comment - I know it's futile and will just end up enraging me but I can't help it -.-
Anyway, I think there should be an ACTUAL new story just for people who like Anders.

Even Anders hate has taken over on facebook. Most comments are more b!tching about how gay he is and how their manly Hawkes couldn't resist pushing the big, glowy gold heart options.
They say it like it's a bad thing.

My boyfriend recruited Anders for the first time yesterday and provoked some flirting by just being diplomatic. The fact that Anders likes you (in that way) doesn't bother him at all but he was annoyed that Anders comes on to you just because you happen to agree with him about mages. And the only way to make Anders NOT flirt with you is to bash mages or something, there should be a "I totally agree with you let's be mates" option instead of just "I hate you HISS" and "Lets get it on" So I kind of see his point, I see why little straight boys would feel intimidated, maybe for the sake of real life diplomacy Anders shouldn't flirt with m!Hawke unless flirted with first. I know it's horrible and it makes me sad, but Anders is so hated already, it pains me that the developers have added another reason for people to dislike him accidentally.

Suddenly after such a long time of being alone Anders meets a person who is supportive of him, kind and believes in his cause. It's logical that he would feel a connection with this person. How is that a 'reason for people to dislike him'? To quote Saemus, some people try very hard to be offended.

Because some people don't think much. Most people don't care anough about characters to try and understand them. It's a pathetic and stupid excuse to dislike a character and be offended, but alot of people use it anyway. They're spreading the Anders hate all over the internet. I wouldn't mind as much if it had to do with the chantry and all that, but they dislike him because he is coming on to them - it's just so sad and painful to see.

Both sides of this debate have a point really.
But Bioware really should have thought about the fact that some straight guys playing the game wouldn't want another guy flirting with them. Even if it's just mild, and just a game.
Also: Do you realise how hard it is to romance another LI when Anders is flirtng with you regardless of gender!? Do you, Bioware? Do you!?!
Especially when he pulls the kicked-puppy look and... oh geez...
(This is WORSE than Alistair.)

I'm curious: How many women have complained that Izzy comes onto them at the end of her first quest?

There is a total of 1 option that will lead to Anders flirting with you. If you take the snarky option below it, it's not a diss to mages at all. It's friendly ribbing, precisely the "I totally agree with you let's be mates" option you're talking about. The diplomatic approach, however, is one of the nicest things you can say to someone, and Anders takes it as though maybe you're interested. His response (paraphrased) is, "Beneath that scruffy exterior, there's a heart of gold." And then immediately he backtracks and says, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't presume."
Everyone makes a big deal about Anders' flirting, but it's really very mild. And even if you turn him down or brush it aside, the rivalry hit is tiny and there are plenty of ways to make it back up. There's nothing intimidating about it. It's far less overt than Zevran, for one thing.
Honestly, my feeling is that if people are made uncomfortable by it, then they have issues greater than something confined to a video game.

I didn't xD
It confused my boyfriend.
I find that my reaction
to flirting is a bit different; most of my male friends would go about
hugging eachother, and saying stuff like 'I LOVE YOU MAN' just 'cause,
hey, they were friends. And the girls would poke eachothers boobs. Just
'cause.
Am I weird?
Edit: I broke the quote tags xD

That's what I said (because I had this argument with the bf yesterday) and he went: you're a woman.
As sexist as that sounds it's sort of true. We all know getting offended at Anders flirting with you is nothing short of idiotic, but people get offended non the less. I'm just saying instead of paraphrasing our arguments and convincing each other of all the things we ALL know ANYWAY, we need to accept that straight guys can be quite basic and find a way to deal with it. I'd rather they didn't have 'more stupid reasons to hate him. Is all I'm saying.
Anyway I have to disagree with the "shut up and deal with it" notion, for many, many reasons, but i do not wish to elaborate because 1)i have a headache from last night and 2)i have to get ready to work my 9 hour shift

True. The guys I know seem to be very huggy people...
Weird is normal on this thread. XD
