Is it possible to have Bethany survive and get her story arc while playing a mage?

I'm in a dilemma.

I usually play mages. I already have two. But I like Bethany a lot better as a character, and so I'm disappointed that I likely won't see her any but one of my games. And I'm very much attracted to the image of two Hawke sisters - both mages - taking part in the mage revolution!

Is there any way to mod the game so that I can play a mage and still get Bethany to survive and have her story arc in the game?

I'm truly hoping someone has a mod for this as well. I've already played as a warrior and want to play as a rogue next. But I would really like to have Carver as my companion the second time around since I've already seen Bethany's storyline.

If I recall correctly I read something about choosing sibling mod (in progress or someone was thinking about making one) either on wiki or nexus.

As much as I like Carver, I guess dialogs made little or no sense while having a non-mage sibling for him or vice versa for Bethany. Hmmm actually it will make situation worse on Bethany's situation as why templars only get her but not both siblings to the circle.

- We are taking your apostate sister to the circle, Apostate. :P

I've seen this around for a while, but I haven't tried it, so I have no idea if it actually works or not, and thus, no idea if your game will run smoothly.

Thanks for the link. Seems a bit clunky atm, but I'll try it out.

Heh....preferring to play mages plus liking Bethany and disliking Carver - that sucks in DA2.

It does sucks, the story is about mages vs chantry and templars and they kill 1 just for giggles.

I don't think that such a mod would work perfectly, some of the things Carver and Bethany are specific to Hawke's class. For example, if hawke is a warrior, it wouldn't make sense if carver started whining about "his bloody templar"

Yeah I remember reading that mod over, or maybe one like it somewhere, and apparently the game checks at several points what class you are in relation to which sibling should be alive. So if you mess with it, it has the chance of breaking anytime it checks, and the storyline rezzes the opposite sibling and kills the other for the remainder of the game.

This mod as well as the class switch trick in the save game all have the same inherent problem. The game will play Carver's VO in cut scenes, and in many of them Bethany will be invisible while Carver's VO plays. Additionally, there are main plot points where the correct sibling not being present will break progression and cause you to get stuck at those points. There will also be incorrect references to the wrong sibling throughout act 2 and 3.

Actually, I've solved those issues. The current version of my mod uses a constantly running script, that changes your class before every plot event. This does mean that the game will think you aren't a mage when you are, or are one when you aren't -- but that doesn't seem to come up very often anyway. In addition, I've added the ability to toggle the effect on and off, so players can manipulate events as needed with a simple click on the hotbar.

I won't claim its perfect yet, but its getting there.

I'm sorry, I can't concentrate on anything you are saying due to your avatar.

It sounds like the game was coded oddly, to keep checking against Hawke's class over and over instead of simply setting a flag at the begginning that says "Bethany" or "Carver" and checking against that. If that's true, a mod is going to be quite a bit more difficult, I'd guess.
