"I thought I was the only one thinking that!" when giving Fenris back to Danarius sealed my eternal hatred for Anders. Slavery is wrong, unless you happen to be someone who says something bad about mages. In that case it's A-okay to just stand there and make a joke at their expense.


Yeah, Anders is a hypocritical idiot. So is Fenris.

I desperately want to ask how Fenris is hypocritical, since I've never seen him be anything but honest and consistent with his positions, but that'd be a total thread derail. :?

Anders should be locked up because he can set fire to people with his mind, but Fenris himself shouldn't be locked up even though he can phase through people's chests and crush their hearts? That just doesn't fly with me.

[EDIT] I initially felt that Fenris was pretty consistent with his views, until I thought about how much magic he himself actually uses.

Oh I definitely agree that Fenris can be hypocritical at times but Anders takes it to another level. I'm not only saying it because he said something to mean about my beloved Fenris (in case you thought that), I just found that and many of the other things he says throughout the game disgusting. That one was what I thought was the best example of how spiteful Anders can get.

Fenris: "What does magic touch that it doesn't spoil?"
Mage!Hawke: "We could... experiment? You know, for science!"

To be fair to Anders here, your Hawke is the one selling him back to Danarius. Not Anders. Although it is a fairly douchey thing to say, I agree. Along with his comment to Merrill about how the world is poorer for having her in it rather than Marethari.

The boy is a little unstable.

He also makes the lovely, "Wonder if we'll find more than a bag of bones this time," quip when searching for Mama Hawke.

lol... what a jerk!  I tend to travel with Anders for like 5 minutes before he says something I don't like and I send him back to his clinic, so I've never heard that.  Wow...

Since this thread is starting to discuss Fenris, let me say I don't think he's a hypocrite.  Fenris says that there is a big difference between slaves and mages, and that's true.  While Fenris is indeed a living weapon, he is not prone to demonic possession, whereas all mages are at risk.  Now, regardless of whether or not I agree with that statement, there is no hypocrisy.

Oh, and there was one Anders comment that I really hated.  Something about calling Aveline an idiot and her wearing a headband to keep her brain from falling out.

It's the "Why did she[Keeper] have to die instead of you?" to Merrill in her quest that sealed it for me. Especially since she's the only one who doesn't express a desire to kill him at the end.

I like thinking that Vengeance is making Anders a complete jerk during Act Three.
I don't have an excuse for anything else, though.

The line that bugged me the most from Anders was when you got to the foundry where Quentin hides while looking for your mother, he says "I wonder if we'll find more than a bag of bones this time" or something like that, I mean what an insensitive a******!!! I'm over there desperately looking for my mother and hoping that she's still alive and he goes on to say a stupid and insensitive joke? Really???? I wish there was an option to kill him in a more satisfying way, such as slicing his throat or something, the stab in the back just doesn't do it for me >.>



I'd like to see him die via Human Battering Ram (Aveline).


lol  Funny you should say that as just a short while ago I played the fade quest and Aveline got turned by the desire demon and thus it was my rogue and anders vs aveline and the desire demon.  Aveline one shotted Anders, he was dead before I even got an arrow off.  Makes you appreciate having Aveline on you side.

I agree that Fenris can be a bit hypocritical at times, but no where near Anders. I think Fenris realizes that what he does is sort of like magic, that's why he hates his tatoos and what they represent and do to his body, though he uses it to fight for his freedom. Btw, Fenris doesn't want to be a slave, Anders doesn't want to be a prisoner, both are bad but totally different.

There is though. Fenris doesn't care about demonic possession. He hates what mages are long before they even reach that point.

[EDIT] Anyone else think that Fenris and Anders are one another's foils? They're both total douchebags. They're like Hitler and Stalin.

THREAD = GODWINNED, AND I HAVEN'T EVEN BEEN DRINKING.

@ishmaeltheforsaken The only thing they agree about is how much they hate Merrill. Makes for maxing friendship/rivalry with them both really easy. Pretty much EVERYTHING Anders likes, Fenris hates and vice versa. I had them both in my party for most of Act I and they were polar opposite maxed by the end with little to no effort on my part.

Anders: I love that you did that!
Fenris: I hate that you did that!

Hawke: Well, that's GREAT!

He doesn't use magic. He doesn't have a connection to the Fade and to demons, which if you listen to his conversations is the 'power' he feels mages should not be trusted with. Because they are often too weak to resist the temptations of demons and blood magic.

Anders is a dangerous abomination, he's a danger to everyone around him not because he shoots fireballs but because he's fused with an inhuman creature of the Fade who makes him do unpredictable things. He's the very example of an irresponsible mage in Fenris' eyes. And still Fenris told Sebastian he wouldn't turn either of them in.

Furthermore, there's a fundemental difference between being 'locked up' to protect others from you and your crazy and being enslaved, abused and used to kill and abuse others. Fenris never said he deserved the powers the markings give him either, he uses them because if he doesn't then he will be captured and murdered by slavers. Not by templars who think it's their duty to protect others from him, but people who just want him dead for money or their own selfish gain. Fenris did nothing to deserve being locked up. Anders has. If Anders hadn't fused with Justice, maybe he'd have the moral high ground.

I took the look after he said that to mean he blurted it out in the heat of the moment and immediately regretted it. And he apologized afterwards, so there's that.

Yea, I remember when I first heard about him being a companion in DA2 I was excited because I knew that I was going to romance him.  Then, I met his character in DA2.

His line to Merril in act 3 after the keeper dies just makes me want to go all Friday the 13th on him.  I mean seriously?  This girl just lost everything she knew before she met Hawke, sure it was her fault, but I mean really?  How much of an ahole can you be?

His line to Leliana in Sebastian's quest also made me mad.

Anders and Fenris are so unbelievably mean to Merrill that it crosses the line twice and makes me laugh.

When Anders says that to Merrill, Fenris will chime in with "For once we agree on something".  I could almost see them bro-fisting over it as Merrill weeps over Marethari.  Hawke just wanted to bash their sexy little heads together.

@Aris I don't think either of them have moral high grounds to stand on. And yes, Anders says some particularly douchey things during the game, but they're often after your Hawke has DONE particularly douchey things (re: the Merrill thing, that doesn't happen if you rival her, and the Fenris thing only happens if you turn him over to Danarius). So an argument could be made that Anders is being douchey because he thinks that will make Hawke like him more, considering Hawke is his main protection from the Templars by that stage it makes sense that he wants to do that.

The "bones" comment is pretty damned tactless though. I like to think with Justice in there Anders has lost his self-edit button. Not that he really had one before, he says some pretty silly things in Awakenings as well.

And he'd do so much better? People are weak, not mages.

He's the very example of an irresponsible mage in Fenris' eyes. And still Fenris told Sebastian he wouldn't turn either of them in.


Which is part of the reason I like Fenris.

Furthermore, there's a fundemental difference between being 'locked up' to protect others from you and your crazy and being enslaved, abused and used to kill and abuse others. Fenris never said he deserved the powers the markings give him either, he uses them because if he doesn't then he will be captured and murdered by slavers. Not by templars who think it's their duty to protect others from him, but people who just want him dead for money or their own selfish gain.



Right, he uses his magic because he can and because it's useful. There's nothing wrong with that, just as there's nothing wrong with being a mage and casting spells. And you're wrong about who they're running from. I'll bet that a lot of the slavers coming after Fenris believed that they were enforcing justice, just as I'll bet a lot of the templars after Anders are selfish pricks who are only doing it for the power trip.

Fenris did nothing to deserve being locked up. Anders has. If Anders hadn't fused with Justice, maybe he'd have the moral high ground.


Fenris broke the law. What did Anders do? And I'm not saying that Anders has the high ground. They're both idiots, and they're both hypocrites.
