I'm just curious. Why did Bioware gives one smokin' hot Isabella and cute and adorable Merrill on one hand and then brooding-ugly Fenris and demented-demon-twisted-ugly Anders on the other?

Seriously, both the males love interests are butt ugly in looks and personality. Both female interests are striking in looks and personality. Bias much?

Solution: Hire female or gay artists to handle the artwork for the male love interests next time. And uh, make at least one of them kind of normal and not insane.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder?

It's all personal taste really. Some people find Isabela unattractive (for the record, I do not associate with them), some people find Merrill unattractive (also...no association).

Fenris and Anders both have their positives and negatives, personality and appearance-wise. It's a delicate balance though. You could have a bunch of model clones, or some characters with realistic features (pointy ears aside - it's realistic for an elf). Personally, I like how all of the characters look - all of the little nuances in feature and form. Helps me be immersed in the game.

That's like, your opinion man.

I must say that I don't care what the males look like as I will never romance them...so I guess I'm biased XD

I really don't find Fenris ugly. Fenris looks great.

Anders looks okay. He's not ugly by any means.

Can we just go ahead and agree to this for all the party members, period? Unless it's of the comically sociopathic variety, like HK-47.

ABOMINATION RACISM! Or...something of that sort.

Dude. The character in your avatar looks like total ****. Give me a freaking break.

And, Anders is fine. His character is pretty deep and tragic in a great way if you want to look past his looks and at the actual story and not just label him as being "insane and a demon". But that would require character analysis on your part...so yeah, nevermind.

They both look fine to me.

To adress your terrific idea of hiring "female or gay artists": at least Anders is designed by a female artist IIRC.

[Haradmir]

Cool story.

Why don't you go mod a bit now?

[Special_Agent_Goodwrench]

Both Anders and Fenris are good looking blokes. They might not be everyone's type, but I wouldn't go as far as to call them ugly.

And what difference does it make whether the characters are drawn by straight males, gay males, or females? You boggle me, sir.

Also written by a female in DA2. Lol. His personality must need a gay man to write him then, apparently.

Varric and Aveline are pretty normal and not insane.

... They're also not LI's, though. I'm not sure what that says.  "HAWKE CAN ONLY GET TOGETHER WITH THE CRAZY PEOPLE"?

Speaking of bias...  Isabella is a theif who starts a war that almost destroys a city and Merrill is an obsessed blood mage who deals with demons.

I'd rather have more time with the LI and more character development than worry about what the pixels look like.

All/virtually all the men in the game are ugly. It's hard to judge Fenris given how great his voice is, though.

But this is back to personal preference. I found alluring qualities to Fenris, Cullen, Keran, Seamus and Nathaniel. In the grand scheme, I didn't find any ugliness. Heck, even the Viscount has sexy eyes.

[Esbatty]

Vael is kinda hunky. Although its mostly his butter-like voice.

...

Uhh - *heads over to the Isabela thread*

[Lenimph]

I like Fenris.... never cared for Anders... it could be worse though... >_> (MASS EFFECT)

Does that really bear mentioning?

Well, alright.  Some people are Platonists, etc.  It's statistically unlikely any particular poster is, however, I don't always feel a need to exclude the possibility that I am, expressly in my posts.

I think it was your use of "all/virually all" that stood out and prompted me to comment.

And yes, it's completely your opinion and perspective, Platonist or otherwise.

Hehe.  That was just reflecting the issue my poor Hawke couldn't find anyone he wanted to bag.  I would fall to chastity were I to move to Kirkwall. 

[Arthur Cousland]

The two companions that I've liked the most so far are Varric and Aveline; the only two companions that Hawke can't romance.

The Blooming Rose isn't a secret club for cool people, I mean Gamlen can't rub two coppers together, yet he's there everyday probably getting his copper rubbed for him.

The Blooming Rose's all yours, bud   I think I might take a trip to Ferelden or Antiva.
