Well, like I said up thread, there are some things I just can't do even in a video game, and that would be one of them. Even out of curiosity.  I've never been able to play a mage hating, templar loving Hawke, especially to the entent I'd let her shove a sword in my baby sister.  My only templar run with Bethany, Hawke told Meredith to take a hike, and baby sister hugged him.

Gaming allows us to explore things we'd never do in reality in a safe manner that doesn't hurt anyone. I can't tell you how many times I've played Origins and lopped off Loghain's head.  Anders never makes it to the end of DA2 for me because I just can't wrap my head around a fanatic's viewpoint.  Killing them allows me to express things (even if only to myself) that I never could in real life.

Friend of mine loves playing the Sith side of the game in Star Wars. She laughed and called me a wuss for only going light side. Though it wasn't meant in a mean way, she's right. While some choices don't bother me, others would. I have to have some kind of connection to the character I'm playing or I lose interest.

In other words, I have to like my PC or I just can't enjoy myself playing.

"Well, like I said up thread, there are some things I just can't do even in a video game, and that would be one of them."

The same approach for me. In my case, it's out of question. Hawke always felt like he failed concerning Bethany, abandoning her to the Circle. She was always a good sister, and his only living relative. Besides, the world is so full of selfish, no-good power-hoarding sadistic bastards that I cannot even role-playing such one.

Just take a look at the last sentences of "Invisible Cities":

He (Kublai) said: ‘It is all useless, if the last landing-place can only be the infernal city, and it is there that, in ever-narrowing circles, the current is drawing us.’
And Polo said: ‘The inferno of the living is not something that will be; if there is one, it is what is already here, the inferno where we live every day, that we form by being together. There are two ways to escape suffering it. The first is easy for many: accept the inferno and become such a part of it that you can no longer see it. The second is risky and demands constant vigilance and apprehension: seek and learn to recognize who and what, in the midst of the inferno, are not inferno, then make them endure, give them space.’

After reading this, it became my motto in life.

Anders will always get saved. Everytime I play. I don't care about Sebastian, he's just talks.

He's not even talking. Rather quoting some religious stuff...

But I will try playing his DLC again, this time with a sarcastic PC. I want to see him scandalized...

Sebastian isn't the mindless Chantry zombie that you make him out to be.  He makes his own decision to seek revenge on the people that killed his family, against the wishes of Grand Cleric Elthina.  He also makes his own decision to return in spite of the advice he gets from Elthina.  What's more he decides not to return to Starkhaven not just because of his devotion to the Chantry, but also because he doesn't want to involve the people of Starkhaven in a civil war unless it's absolutely necessary, a decision he made not because he was told to by Hawke or the Chant of Light or anyone or thing else.

I really don't understand why Seb gets as bad a rap as he does.  I mean, okay, he's not necessarily someone I'd invite to a party or have a lengthy conversation with, but he shows more respect for life then Anders does.

Thank You! I agree completely.
