I'm not sure if there is a Gamlen thread alraedy, but I didn't see it.  He is my favorite family member.   He helped us get into the city, let us share his little hovel, wipped Grama & Grandpa's butts when they were old and sick, and his spoiled little princess sister doesn't even want to contribute for food money.  She thinks she can waltz into Kirkwall whenever she pleases and there will be a pile of money waiting for her.  No "thank you" for working out a deal to get everyone in, only, "you sold my children into servitude for a year!".  Maker forbid they pay their own way.

Maker watch over you, Uncle Gamlen.

Gamlen needs someone to use the wallop mallet on him.

I love Gamlen. I especially love running across him in the seedier places, like the Blooming Rose.

"...I won't tell your mother about this if you won't."

What do you mean? My greatsword LOVED Gamlen!

[leggywillow]

Gamlen really grew on me.

And I absolutely LOVED Charade.  It was really awesome to find a cousin and reunite Gamlen with his daughter after all the family tragedy in the rest of the game.

[theradicalpunk]

Yeah despite losing the family earnings, being a weasel, and all around selfish ****** he did have some good qualities and I felt for him sometimes. Not the worse uncle by a long shot. You really have to grow to love him nonetheless.

Oh my god... "wallop mallet" could easily be the worst euphemism of all time.  "Uncle Gamlen loves to use his wallop mallet at the Blooming Rose."  GAH!

LOL! He's there for medicinal purposes donchaknow?

It was terribly creepy when he was asking for details about my female Hawke's relationship with Isabela. So, so, so creepy.

I admit it. I liked Gamlen. >:

I think what did it (for me) was that scene where he was asking Leandra to pay rent, she went off the deep end about it, and then he just... kind of meekly asked her to put something towards food.

That entire conversation just made me feel a bit ill. I did feel bad that he was pretty much funding everything, and I do kind of agree that Leandra seemed 'Ferelden for life' and wasn't likely to ever return (until the Blight happened.)

Granted, he could have written her to let her know she'd inherited a fortune, but he did look after their parents when they were at their worst. I'm not saying he was 'entitled' to the fortune for taking care of them, but having seen my dad go through a similar situation with my grandparents, I have the utmost sympathy for the guy. >>

That being said, I also loved the Charade quest. >: God, is it too much to hope that she shows up in DA3? I just think she was a rad character. xD

EDIT: Also, I think it's pretty clear that despite their differences, Leandra and Gamlen cared about each other.  Their weekly visits, and Gamlen's hyseria when Leandra dies, pretty much confirm that. >: *sigh*

Yeah I thought Gamlen was actually a pretty good guy. Perhaps a bit misled and bitter, but it's not like he didn't have his reasons.

Sure he might have taken the fortune for himself, but I'll also say that he let them stay in his house without any warning at all for a long time. Without even making them pay for anything.

Anyone that invests in the Qunari cheese market is just asking for trouble.

Yeah, I agree. Every time we see Gamlen and leandra talk in Act 1 she's constantly  harping about "servitude!!". Get over it, mom; I did! If you want you can go sleep outside the city gates again! Asking for a contribution toward food didn't seem that unreasonable a request, whatever Gamlen's shortcomings may be.

I wanted to give my Uncle a hug and make him move into my mansion. After all he was pretty much the only family I had left in the 3rd act.
Also I didn't realise that his appearance also changes with respect to your Hawke's appearance. Pretty cool.
Would've been nice to get to know my cousin a bit more as well, perhaps she'll turn up in the future?
