And uhm… If anyone knows where I can download a mod that makes Fenris look like Orsino – please tell me!

I guess you could do some model swapping..?

Ok so I had no opinion on Orsino up until his moment against the Qunari and studdenly dat smirking 'Have confidence Knight Commander...' and dat stylish way he holds his staff as he walks off to offer himself up as bait... now he can't come on screen without me muttering 'stupid sexy Orsino' I mean I don't even like the new design for elves, it's just Fenris and now Orsino that make it hot somehow... must be those half fingerless gloves and sexy robes

Right.....hmph I could swear Orsinos voice was in an earlier BioWare game or games.  I wonder who I'm thinking of.

It's the staff twirl.  It's totally the staff twirl.

Though really, it's his sassy confidence in that scene.  I totally swooned, and Anders was RIGHT THERE, and I didn't give one damn.

Orsino is a total crook, he got exactly what he deserved. If you side with the Templars, those dead mages at the end are "willing sacrifices". Not to mention his involvement with Quentin.

[Vit246]

I like Orsino. Everything I could dislike about him, I blame on the very very very bad writing. Especially the harvester thing. Nothing about it made sense. Orsino made such a big deal on how he doesn't want blood magic to become an excuse for Meredith, but then he does just that, giving Meredith a perfect excuse. And then he somehow shapeshifts/transforms into a freaking Harvester, a lazy design of a monster boss that should've been forgotten in Awakening, while endangering all his fellow mages. Adding a connection to Quentin was one more attempt to vilify him as an accomplice and supporter. I understand that he helped Quentin escape so that he wouldn't be used by Meredith as justification for Annulment. But I don't understand how it could be in Orsino's character to be interested in Quentin's research. All of this just felt completely forced in order to utterly demonize him as a insane evil mage, create a unneccesary boss fight, and scold the player for choosing to side with the mages.

He's probably in my top three favorite characters of Dragon Age. A quick list of things that endeared him to me:

1. The DIVERSION!!! I did not see that much badassery coming. Not the sheer amount we were given...and Meredith just wanted to charge the damn gate...I don't think I'll ever choose her option playing through that scene.

2. His basic common sense. Up until the disaster in the Gallows, everything Orsino does has some degree of rationality to it (which is more than can be said for several other people in Kirkwall). At the beginning of Act 3, he argues not against Meredith's oppression of the mages (at least not at first) but against her unjust rule of the city. He argues for putting a new Viscount on the throne, an argument that makes sense no matter which side of the Mage-Templar conflict you support. In Best Served Cold he freely admits that blood magic is a problem within Kirkwall's Circle. When all hell finally does break loose, he recognizes it as such and offers Meredith a full surrender prior to the fight in the Gallows in exchange for the city and his charges being spared. The moment he did that, he gained my full respect.

3. His relationship with Quentin. It's a character flaw, and he'd be lesser without it. It comes down to him being an overly eager scientist who ignored the consequences of enabling Quentin. In the Templar ending, he says to Bethany and Hawke that he would have stopped Quentin if he'd known how deranged Quentin had become. Does that absolve him of responsibility? Of course not, nor do I want it to. He has a flaw, he made a mistake, and he's judged by it, like we all are. He redeems himself in that he never resorted to blood magic, at least until he thought he had no other option.

4. Did I mention that diversion? I really, really like him for that diversion.

The Harvester thing? Eehhh...I was disappointed, true, but that stemmed from my extreme reluctance to kill Orsino. As a part of the plot, I can understand why it's there, what purpose it serves, and how Orsino came to that point of sheer, utter desperation.

I just wish it didn't have to be him! Would've loved seeing him in a future game, as leader of the mage rebellion perhaps...

[Seridano]

Made an Hawke/Orsino vid. Done with carnival of rust as per the other Orisno fanvid as, at this point in time, I cannot imagine any other theme for him.

One of the clips went a littlw wonky but otherwise, it's as I wanted it. Do let me know what you guys think. 



Edit: Also made some Orisno pixel art. Enjoy!

I would to have had at a point down the line to have Orsino as a party member, alas it was not meant to be. Let us remember Our favorite first enchanter

[Wulfram]

When I reached the end of the game again, Orsino gave a pretty cool speech I'm sure I've never heard before.

It came immediately after the meeting with Meredith in the courtyard, just before your final chats with your companions. Does it only trigger when Anders is alive or something?

[DoNotIngest]

Orsino was a BOWSE. Too bad he turned into a Warcraft Abomination, forreals Bioware? =(

[Xilizhra]

Wait, this actually exists? Astonishing. Well, you have my support, certainly.

[Gervaise]

What was done to Orsino at the end is one of the chief reasons I ended the game feeling angry at the writers and no sense of achievement at all. Orsino was what kept me believing in the cause of mage freedom in the face of all the other negatives thrown at me throughout the game. It really seemed criminal that such a sane, intelligent and compassionate person should be kept locked up in the Gallows instead of being really useful to the community. The fact that he suggested the diversion tactic against the Qunari and then followed through by actually doing the deed himself (and with such style) made me admire him just as a person, not simply because he was a fellow mage. The Quentin thing I could have dealt with but the transformation into the Harvester was outrageous. If he had to despair and wanted to go down fighting - why couldn't it have been in a literal blaze of glory, fire balls every direction, toasting templars? Then perhaps you would have to take him down because he risked immolating everyone but it would be in keeping with his character and magical ability. The Harvester can't even do proper magic, just throws dollops of blood about and the only real challenge in fighting it is that it takes such a depressingly long time to do so - I find it so boring. The suicide pact for the Templar ending at least explained where the dead bodies came from but the mage ending was ridiculous as we jumped from first wave of Templars killed, all mages in room still alive, to a cut scene with him surrounded by dead mages and despairing at their deaths - I still have no idea of where they came from or who killed them, as the mages I saved I can see running from the room if I ignore the harvester and concentrate on what everyone else is doing. Orsino was very badly misused by the writers.

[Selanna22]

I have to admit Orsino drew me in when he allowed himself to become the distraction for the Qunari and that flirty response back from the 'running naked in the street' had me at full win. But he had to pull the crazy card by using blood magic in order to prove that not all mages are Blood Mages....say what?

You did me wrong Orsino, you did me wrong *shakes head*

[Fylimar]

I love Orsino - the voice, the character, everything... until the end - that was just bad and total unbelievable and I try to ignore it. I would have loved to see Orsino as the future rebel leader of mages.

[ladyofdragons]

He's one of my favorite secondary charatcers. I conveniently forget his freak out at the end. I like to pretend my Hawke knocks some sense into him instead (so many things in DA2 could be solved with a swift punch in the face, I swear).

He's not typically my type, but he has incredible stature and presence. When whips it out at the end of act 2 I thought... *_* "OH HAI" He's got some serious moxy and that THAT is hot. I had a good amount of admiration and deep respect for him through most of act 3 because of that.

Have the staff twirl GIFs been posted here yet? I'm too lazy to dig through the whole thread. So much BAMF. 

Oh and BTW, the Hawke/Isabela love scene character swap with Orsino and Meredith makes me giggle.... because I always see it ending in him getting squished. She must weight 300+ lbs in all that armor!

Second that. And I, too, forget the Harvester thing (very conveniently). I always pretend, that Varrics imagination got away with him, while telling the story. And then I see Orsino in a corner, shaking hishead in disbelief: 'He told her WHAT??'
