Is it wrong that a Justiceified (Justified? lawl) Anders with the glowing eyes makes me squee with happyness?

Dammit, we're not supposed to find possessed mages [abominations] sexy! GAH!

I saw the glowing eyes in Anders' first release picture for DA2.  My first thought was definitely not, "Hmm, what happened to Anders?"  It was more like "DAAAAAMN, Anders!" 

I happen to think the glowing is incredibly sexy.  A bit wrong?  Yes.  But HAWT DAMN.

Truth.

Edit: Crap, top.

Justice for great... justice?

Ah, but abomination babies are all the rage
Flemeth approves.... you know you want to.... lol

And the voice. Let's not forget the absolute sex to the ears that is Justice's voice. His voice in Awakening was awesome, but in DAII?

*Dies*

I swear that my obsession with Justice is second only to my obsession with Anders. Really.

Anyways...

Come to think of it, it probably didn't help I had Justice modded to look like this on my first playthrough. (Thanks, Dragon Age Redesigned!)

I totally crushed on him.

Justice did not approve.

Just dropping in to say Anders has clearly stolen my soul, when I am willing to miss Castle and stay up this late writing my fanfic...

Re: the discussion about lack of control in DA2, a few pages back... (cuz I'm a bit late to the party again)

The first character I started in DA2 got me frustrated and cursing about wasting 50 euros on the game. I couldn't relate to the characters, as I hadn't read any spoilers whatsoever before starting the game. Being tossed into the story with "my" family that I didn't know felt very weird and the game just didn't open up. I wasn't paying attention to the fine details the game pushed on me nonstop until I started a second character, a mage DudeHawke. Then I gave up trying to play it like DAO or most RPGs, gave up the need to play the hero, and got swept in at the start of Act II.

DA2 had totally blown my mind by the end credits. I was literally screaming at the screen, out of both positive and negative frustration. The railroading is... simply put, glorious, if one just gives into it. Like a *cough* first-time bondage session, only that you don't get a safety word and just have to trust your dom GM to get you through it safely. Only that Gaider plays it rough and leaves you naked, blindfolded and hanging from the ceiling for... well, we'll see for how long. At this point I don't know whether I should hope for comfort at the end of the saga, or fear that there'll be a happy ending waiting around the corner, waiting to numb the delicious helplessness, torture and suspension we're being put through. But I'll take whatever Gaider & co throw at me (begging that Anders is involved, haha...), and I'll enjoy it like the good little BioWare **** I am.

A bit off topic, but I had to rave about this, too, after reading the comments from previous pages.

[Mistress Tasharra]

Perfect analogy. Kinky too. I like it (so long as Anders is involved in said bondage session. We have to put all those buckles he wears to use, right? Right?).

I suppose we will have to rename this thread "everybody's tying everybody up".

It's a conversation with Fergus's son in origins right before Fergus leaves and Oren gets killed. Oren wants a sword and somewhere in the conversation Fergus says something like "Don't worry Oren you'll get to see a sword up close real soon."

Oh, you know, I did catch that at some point. And then I chuckled blackly, as I recall. Bioware=wicked. Or maybe it's just Gaider.

Someone has a very dark sense of humor. Anders is the most brilliant troll creation I've seen from a developer ever - and he was years in the making. That's dedication.
I hope Bioware knows that I, for one, appreciate their efforts to manipulate me in such a twisted fashion.
(Even though it hurt. Ouch my <3. )

In DA2 I feel like a spectactor. And nothing really matters because it all ends up the same. 

I would say that's actually part of the reason I like it. I feel hopeless most of the time.

And that's why I laughed my butt off for 10 minutes after the credits rolled. I was playing DA2: Ander's Tale.

16th playthrough, and the ending still makes me go OMWTF.

For some people it must be something like:
Hawke: ...you... you deceived me!
Anders: I'm sorry, but I had to blow up the Chant-
H: I don't give a damn about the bloody Chantry!!!!
A: What? Then what are we talking about?
H: You made me think I was the main character, you lying bastard! How could you? I wanted to blow up the Chantry!!! 
A: ...


I actually replayed DA:O as well... The darkest parts of Origins are like cute-fluffy bunnies in comparison to the lightest parts of DA2!

I felt that way too. It felt very Big Trouble in Little China when not romancing Anders. Hawke was really the side-kick to Anders (like we can see Varric being Hawke's sidekick). Does that make Aveline the girl with green eyes?

Anyway I also feel that DA2 was written to be a tragedy, so no happy ending necessary. I think a lot of people are used to the kind they shove at you in English class where the main character has an obvious fatal flaw that gets everyone else killed. Not all tragedies are like that (though I guess if you wanted to argue it, many that don't obviously have the fatal flaw still have it in the form of hubris).

Christ I can't do links at 4 am.

The more I look at it, the more I stare in adoration of the concept idea and the details.
(not to mention that Hawke is the perfect twin of my Hawke that romanced Anders)
I won't even start to write the things I liked more posted on that wall lol.

I know I'm late in the discussion, and I'll just maker a few points because I have to work by this thread is...is.
1. I felt attached to Hawke, but more in the way I can relate to a character in a book. As I said earlier, by the end of the day for me it was Anders' story. Which had nothing bad, mind you, but the attachment to my Warden was different, it felt more created by me. With Hawke instead it was more like looking at what happened to him...more like a film or a book than a videogame. I know I'm taking the things to the extreme, I know I did make some choices...but I don't know, something in the lack of choices of the ten years timespan didn't click with me.
2. DA2 has its emotional moments, but what made me cry was that no matter what I did things went downhill. I don't feel the urge to replay it, because there weren't many possibilities. Origins had more to be honest. It's not like I wanted to have a happy ending, I just wanted to have some more different choices. After the second playthrough, now I'm playing knowing everything, and I just pre-plan everything.

Speaking of the ****de- I mean, Wardens, you'd think darkspawn, archdemons, talking darkspawn and a Blight would have a darker theme than the tension between templars and mages, no?

Apparently: No. XD

I think a lot of people just got angry. I had heard something about 4chan trying to destroy the game's metacritic rating right before I finished and I didn't know why. Then the credits rolled and I just lost it. Oh, those poor "heroes" nerd raging and gnashing their teeth in anguish. I guess I'm just a sucker for tragedies because I loved it.

Actually the whole destroying the game's metacritic rating thing happened before the game even was out. I doubt most people had even seen the ending by then

I liked the ending personally.
I'm sick of playing either hero, or villain.

DA2 made you into a champion, letting you wonder: What is my important role in this story as its protagonist?
Then you discover it: To stand on the sidelines basically doing nothing to affect the final outcome of the plot!

I love this game.

Maybe this has been covered in 850 some pages (probably), but I wonder if there would be nearly the outrage if Anders had just killed Elthina - or Hawke had. Is it the exploding building that makes people go all nutty? People are getting slaughtered left and right the entire game, and some of them are more innocent than Elthina.
