Ahh, I've been cut off from the internetz for over a week! Our lovely weekly prompts died when we moved to this side, btw... Anyone up for a couple of new rounds?

I have an idea for a topic too - Nathaniel's role in DA3? ;) Feel free to whip up a prompt fill if you're feeling like it ;)

I really, really REALLY hope we get Nate as a party member in DA3...I miss him so freaking much!!! In my opinion he was easily one of the best characters in Awakening. (Along with Sigrum. She's so cute!!) And how come nobody's posting anymore. It just makes me sad. :(

Also does anyone besides me think that him and Velanna would have made an awesome couple? I kind of got that impression that they liked each other, and I think them together as a couple would be adorable for some reason.

Hello, Nate-fans! Mind if I drop in and join you? I just saw that there was a Nate thread in the forum.

I've been lurking for an insanely long time, both on this thread and the previous one ... the recent lack of activity has finally made me come out from the shadows :D So, hello everyone!

Yeah, this thread HAS been slow. I guess it's because we had so little of Nate to work with in DA2.
I must admit, his cameo was the highlight of the game for me...but not enough. Need MOAR Nate!

Helping to keep this thread prominent, I'll add that I just thought of a party I'd love to play: Hawke/Warden/DA3person, Nathaniel, Cullen, Fenris. Dream team! Hm. With Carver as a regular substitute. I love all those characters!

I've been replaying Origins to get a new world to import into DA2, and I started Awakenings the other day, so I've been indulging in the Howe. This time I released him and did not conscript him--I prefer that he asks to join the Wardens! He seemed less sullen about becoming one, for sure.

I was struck by how similar Nathaniel and Sebastian were. Rogue archer, grandfather's bow, vengeful streak tempered by a will toward goodness, family loss, a point of turnaround in their lives. Nathaniel is more jovially cynical, however. It is a very dry jovial cynicism.

More Nathaniel please!

I was also replaying Awakening some time ago and I love when he talks in the Blackmarshes about being a boy and thinking of going to the Blackmarshes. Then you can say that you think it's cute and he laughs... adorable :-)
I really think we will see more of him, either in an extension or DA3. They really did a great job with how he looks like in DA2!

^This!

OMG, that would be total squeeee! My husband is already a little skeptical of my fascination with DA2 as it is; this would be over the top!

That is what I hope as well, but I am afraid we won't see him so soon again, at least not in the first DLC :-( But let's wait and cross fingers.

On the other hand: I heard that







SPOILERS







Bethany or Carver will be part of it, so in case one of them was a Grey Warden we might maybe see Nate again.

Nathaniel is the shiznit - easily my favorite of the Awakening characters.

Just thought I'd stop in and show the man some love.

I really do hope to run into Nathaniel again. He was easily my favorite companion in Awakenings, and IMHO he was one of the few 'returning' companions whose appearance didn't seem in some way unfaithful to the character as presented in DA:O or DA:A.

I will admit I did a certain amount of Squeeing over him in DA2, seeing him grow into his badassery. :)

Btw, is it sure that he's not on the first DLC? It seems to be continuing the story of Awakening anyway.

Just a question; is there a chance for him showing up if you never finished Awakening...?

I don't think so... I'm not sure anyway. He doesn't show up if you haven't played Awakening at all though. (I recommend finishing it though, it's cool! :D)

My DA2 imports are typically from abandoned Awakening saves (half-done), and Nathaniel always shows up in Act 3. I don't think it's supposed to work that way, but it always does. I just started my 9th playthrough, so if that's a fluke, it's a consistent (and very welcome!) one.

Nathaniel is arguably one of the best potential LI or companion candidates in the DA universe, and I hope BW seriously considers him for the next installment. I love it that he's not immediately impressed with the warden, or with Hawke, and you have to earn his trust. Those types of relationships are usually the most fulfilling. Man, I can't wait, and I am crossing my fingers.

Hello fellow brooders!
Delurking after a long time to confess my love for the Howe.
Unfortunately I get the feeling he's meant to be the eternal bachelor. But LI or not -
Nate Baby, you'll always be my one true pixel-love <3 ( I can't believe I'm actually typing this... teehee).

I absolutely agree with you :D There needs to be even more Nate!!!

Nice! I was thinking that Nate would have been so great for the friendship/rivalry romance system. He can be quite sweet when he wants to be, but he also has a darker side. I think he would be equally hot, either way.

Oh well, I guess it wasn't meant to be...Image IPB

Been looking forward to legacy dlc and just had a thought. Since the dlc is rather Warden-Centric, is there any possibility that Nathaniel will show up?

That is what I thought as well. But I am afraid we have to wait and see. The wardens in the trailer are unfortunately all unknown to me... :?

Anyway: I keep on believing that we will get more Nate in the future. He's simply the perfect archer and rogue for DA3, don't you think? :D

Yep, I also think he would be great for the romance system. He is definitely an honorable man, so he would have had a problem with rude and cruel behaviour or blood magic. On the other hand he also knows that sometimes you have to do... well, what you have to do :bandit:

Such a pity...:(

Hello ladies (and gents?). Been lurking for quite a while now in this thread and the other, older Nate thread. Decided to finally show my face and get this thing back on page 1.

Question: I've downloaded Legacy but haven't played it yet. Anyone get through it ? Is Nate involved? Don't mean to spoil it for those who want a surprise, but my curiosity must be satiated. And I can't play until the weekend (damn you, work!).

And was anyone else pausing the video of the Legacy trailer, straining to catch sight of Nate whenever the Wardens were in a frame? Please don't tell me I'm the only one here to do this...then I would really feel like a total dork. :blush:

Edit: Page 1, silly me.

Funny, I also did it:D

But I haven't seen him and I am afraid he isn't in Legacy... but that's just a feeling....:crying:

Unfortunately in Germany (and for Playstation 3) Legacy isn't out yet, so I have to wait a bit longer...:(
