Yes, Gamlen was a bit of a sunofa****, but despite his flaws he was family. I would have liked the option to have him live in hightown with me (and provide a bit of a stipend as well). Especially after mother died and, especially after we discover his daughter.

Anyone else miss this option?

[Pileyourbodies]

Yeah especially once we find out about our cousin. Our house is giant! its got the biggest wine cellar in kirkwall and we clearly have some guest rooms down there plenty of space for the family.

[Camenae]

Yeah! Especially considering that we have two completely random dwarves that pretty much force themselves on us. Yeah they were funny and all that but I did not want them in my house.

[Nyaore]

I have a feeling that Gamlen would have simply cussed you out for the offer, seeing how he reacts to any other overtures of help from Hawke over the course of the story.

[Pileyourbodies]

Charade might have accepted tho and Gamlen would have followed her to get to know her...oh and live in one of the nicest homes in kirkwall....

I don't know, he makes a couple of comments about the house and hightown that led me to believe he'd be happy to move in there again, and there were a few comments in chat bubble basically asking for some money.

I would think, after our mother/his sister dies that he might want to stay someplace that held fond memories of her for him and, after finding out he has a daughter might not want to entertain her in a hovel. 

[Urbanus Venator]

Yeah this was one thing that always bugged me. I really would have expected him to move in whether Hawke liked it or not.

[Scarletyoshi]

Dude was a douche but he did open his shack to us when his long lost family came knocking on the gates, it only seems fair to return the favor. But who knows, maybe Gamlen has just enough pride left that he wouldn't want to give up having his own place.

[KAAurious]

Gamlen was an ass who spent all his money to try to recover a gem/jewel or whatever. If given half the chance to live with Hawke in the new estate, he'd probably find a way to ruin everything.

[Foolsfolly]

Why would I want him in my house? He sold my sister and me into servitude; lost the family name and home; and then is nothing more than a combative tool to everyone around him.

Stay in your hovel, Uncle. You'd only end up stealing my stuff while I was out helping the city anyway.

I feel kind of bad for driving his daughter away just to get another amulet. Least I can do is put the poor sod up for a while.

[RubiconI7]

Agreed...Albeit being a pain, he is the only family connection you have left. Coupled with Charade and Orina, (sp?) it would be nice to see their interactions.

[Birdhive]

So, after Mother died, my Hawke talked with Gamlen, and gave the direct (red) response, and Gamlen sobbed--it was "I know it hurts, but Mother wouldn't want us to dwell on it" (my F!Hawke is aggressive and I thought this sounded pretty diplomatic for her, actually). He responded "I'm not you, I can't just shove my grief into a corner and never look at it again. (sobs) Why her? Why Leandra?", but Hawke didn't tell him the full gritty tale.

Now, after leaving and returning to the house twice, Gamlen is still there, standing in the doorway to the library and I'm wondering if he has moved in. Has anyone else had this happen? He gives a canned response ("Leandra . . dead! I can't believe it" or somesuch) when clicked on. I haven't done a full quest in between leaving the house and returning, but I have gone into different areas in Kirkwall. I'm kind of hoping he stays! My Hawke's siblings are both dead as well, and Anders is (supposedly) living in the house too.

I'm guessing that he'll disappear at some point, but I like having him there. Aggressive Hawke has a soft spot in her heart for ol' Uncle Gamlen!

[TJPags]

Yea, the guy who stole the inheritance, then gambled it away, and kept ****ing about rent money when we showed up, homeless.

I'm gonna invite him in.

Don't think so. Don't care if he's supposed to be family - my Hawke never met the lying, stealing SOB before, and hasn't liked him since he laid eyes on him.

[Gavinthelocust]

Wouldn't recommend it, he's the kinda guy who'd peek through the key whole during Hawke-and-Anders funtime. Perverted old bastard.

[Icy Magebane]

lol... you invite Gamlen to live with you, then certain small items like silverware and vases start to go missing. Smart plan.

In Gamlen's defense... there's a speech he gives about how Hawke's grandparents would have been proud of him and how Gamlen is glad the Amell line didn't end with him. I thought it was cool, and I don't hate Gamlen even though he's an utter d-bag. I'd give him some coin now and then, but no way in hell would I give him access to the mansion.

[Mnemnosyne]

I'd certainly like to have the option. It would be kind of nice. I hated Gamlen at first but eventually came to like him, especially in the playthrough where I took Bethany to the Deep Roads with me without Anders. It would have been kind of nice if Gamlen and Charade could move into the estate. Considering the size of the place when you fight through with the slavers, surely some of those rooms could be converted into places for them to live without inconveniencing Hawke in the slightest.

Except for you owning the house and being a bigshot

He's family. Whether you like it or not, you're stuck with him. Just as Varric is stuck with Bartrand and Fenris is stuck with Varania. If you bring Varric along for Fenris' Act 3 companion quest, right as he's poised to murder her if you choose "Don't do this" Varric will chime in with something that has more truth to it than anything else.

Chastising a person, a part of your family, for their flaws is easy. Overlooking them and forgiving them is what ultimately makes a person.

Fenris has a solution to that.

But then your mom wouldn't get kidnapped, and breaks the whole plot of the game.

true, magical fisting. But what does that really accomplish? Doesn't he still lament on how magic has ruined everything he knows?

[Plaintiff]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA- No.

Blood connection only stretches so far. I wouldn't have minded having Charade around, she seems cool. Heck, she's a decent archer, I want her in my party.

But Gamlen can choke on a dick as far as I'm concerned.

I've never subscribed to that particular maxim.

Idiot family members who I can't stand can go rot in hell just like anyone else I can't stand.

[Statulos]

Somehow the mansion felt too small to me compared to other states in the same area.

At any rate, the lack of interaction with the house itself (something like improving the Vigil in Awakening) felt dissapointing.
