@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.
That's what a foil is [smilie]../../../images/forum/emoticons/wink.png[/smilie]

He doesn't use magic.
Yes he does.
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 to weak to resists the temptations of demons and blood magic.
And he'd do so much better?
People are weak, not mages.
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.
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.
