Letting Varric kill him is one of the best moments in the game. It was one of those things that really drove home that these people with Hawke are his friends. Not just people he works with.

The whole group went on a critting spree in the battle that followed that was a wonder to behold. Was almost like they all were just as outraged as I was.

Quentin was vaporized in the exact second his shield went down. I was saving a 'Vendetta' just for him. (one aptly named ability)

I killed him in my first playthrough. From my perspective (and unaffected by spoilers) there was a lot of evidence against him and I figured letting him live would come back to bite me. It did, in a way, that made me think I killed an innocent man. From what I'm seeing in skimming this thread, I see I was mostly justified.
Going to see how things play out in future run-throughs.

Gascard really had it coming.

"Even you are not strong enough for this, Hawke."

*is hit by a stonefist and explodes*

Not strong enough my ass, Gascard. I just loved it.

I killed him. I knew he wasn't the murderer but I killed him anyway.

Nobody messes with Rage-Hawke.

Uh...kill him. Given what you know, there's no reason not to believe he's the killer. Sparing him just because you found out he wasn't the culprit in a past playthrough sounds awful gamey to me. I killed him because he was obviously the killer...even though he wasn't. You know what I mean?

A better option would have been to subdue him and bring him to the city guard.

On my most recent playthrough my aggressiveHawke threatened him into not joining Quentin. Too bad I couldn't kill him afterwards. I did recieve a lovely note later though. The big troll.

My other characters either killed him when he joined Quentin, killed him when they first met him, or told that Templar woman where to find him in Darktown after discovering Emeric's body. I didn't even realise he was Quentin's apprentice until my third playthrough because I usually just killed him or handed him in.

What's the point?  Aveline is the captain of the guard.  She supports the templars.  She even married one.  She'll give him the templars, and the templars will kill him anyway.  Murderknife is just a shortcut.  Why waste the gas?

I let him live, he was a blood mage like Hawke. Later on he sent some reward & a letter, thanking for sparing him.

I got that letter even though I tracked him down and killed him.  Guess he sent it before he was done packing.

Pff... if Aveline is even able to arrest him. Besides keeping the morale up, the good Captain seems to be quite ineffective, if you ask me.Posted Image

Actually I let him go in my first 2 playthroughs, his story and investigative question answers sounded very believable to me. I killed him in my third playthrough because that fit the character of my third Hawke.

Oh yeah, Aveline sucks at her job.  But even she can arrest someone that's literally given to her, pre-subdued.

Killed. It was too hefty of a choice to let him go, knowing full well that he is a blood mage. Even if he wasn't the killer, a blood mage is dead. That has to be good.

I always either killed him in the mansion or told the templars about him

Considering how lieworthy he is I doubt he has truly learned his lesson.  He already knew what his mentor was up to when you first meet him.

I'm confused. So you have to have diplomatic personality to persuade Gascard fight against Quentin? Someone on previous page said they did it with a Sarcastic Hawke, but I can't do it with my Sarcastic Hawke. :(

Sarcastic Hawke cannot do it, as far as I've been told from other players. Both diplomatic (I saw it in a vid) and aggressive (I've done it personally) Hawke can persuade him.


I see. That's kind of unfair? I understand instances where you have to be a certain personality to do something (like you need to be aggressive for threats to work). That's rewarding for those that pursue that personality. But including the option for all but one? Maybe it's a bug?
You can get Anders to back down in "Dissent" with all Hawkes, why not the same here? Hmm. <_<

After that templar died for believeing hawke wrote him a letter, but it was a false letter that got him killed, there will be dialog choices and you have to pick the 3rd one. it something about "it's not that simple" i forgot. hawke will say that gascard is innocent or something

I know how to keep him alive through the Emeric quest. What's giving me trouble is keeping him alive through the conversation in the killer's lair in which Quentin offers to take him on as a student again. He blows off all three of the dialog options I'm given.


you have to be a diplomatic Hawke. Eventually, after enough diplomatic options have been chosen, it will show up in the lower left corner of the wheel when he's trying to betray you.

I didn't know that Fenris could hurt him though. I had Aveline confront him on subsequent playthroughs where he lived. And on my first playthrough Varric killed him to my surprise as well, and I was just laughing my ass off.

Why exactly did Gascard want to learn necromancy? Because he could? Because I know he confesses to not having a sister.

Don't get me wrong I despise the guy, but killing him just serves no purpose after Mama Hawke is killed. So I just tell him to get the **** out of my sight before I change my mind.

Of course there is a purpose. He's an outlet for your murderous anger at having seen your mother killed and then horrible VIOLATED. If I had more control over my Hawke I would have tortured him and THEN killed him. :bandit:

I've deadified him every time except for the first. You get an extra 15 to 20 hundred xp from the chase through his mansion - well worth an "error" in judgment in my book

 Let him go on my first playthrough. Didn't use him to find Leandra.

On my subsequent playthrough, I killed him.

Then on my last playthrough. I let him live, and I used him to find Leandra. And Varric was with me. FTW.

I killed him in the first game. Then i learned what happend so i let him live the next ttime. Thinking we could team up and get to the necro in time to save mom? joke was on my when i learned there is no way possible to save mom. I really dont know who they sleep at night calling this a RPG. We really dont effect the world in anything important at least that how i felt IMHO Or how they sleep after trying to pass this game off as DA2 is beyond me. Oh i forgot its dEAd and they have no souls. They instead have holes, that they try and fill with our money any way they can.

He sends you a letter apologizing for his role in your mom's death, as well as a bit of money. Also, he's apparently given up magic entirely.
