  -SPOILERS ARE PRESENT- 

The Exiled Prince. Dragon Age II's version of The Stone Prisoner. New companion and his own personal quests to go along with it. When you get to the end of the game, you are FORCED to choose between Sebastian and Anders. I have asked BioWare staff themselves if there is any way at all to keep both of them, even with the new Legacy DLC, and all have said it is one or the other. This petition is here to change that. 

I understand that many players enjoy being forced to choose, they all have their reasons. Some kill Anders anyway, some never enjoyed Sebastian anyway, some just enjoy the inner turmoil of having to decide which one to choose. But from what I've seen, the majority of the community is always asking and hoping there's a way to keep them both. I and many others feel that is unfair to anyone who got the DLC, whether they got it for free with the Signature Edition or paid 7 dollars for it. To quote staff member JohnEpler, in regards to Sebastian, "If you refuse to do it, he's out and he won't be coming back." And he won't be coming back. I am aware that doesn't defeat the possibility of a return of Sebastian in future DLC, but nothing has been announced yet. I don't want to bore you to death with a super long novel detailing everything, so I'm going to get my main point across in as few words as I can. 

Regardless of your opinions on Sebastian and/or Anders, to force a choice like that is wrong, especially to the people who spent money on the DLC. People buy the DLC thinking they're going to get a new companion to add to their arsenal which, while true, they are not aware that it pretty much kills your ending. Since I know it would be wrong and likely against policy to warn purchasers in the product description of what the DLC does with your final decision, many people have spent the money only to be given a false belief and in the end be disappointed, angered, and saddened. This petition's purpose is to get BioWare to add a patch/update to The Exiled Prince that would allow you to, say you filled certain criteria, have the option to keep Sebastian and Anders. By certain criteria, it could be anything BioWare wanted, but as long as you accomplished certain objectives, it would give you a "star" dialogue choice that would convince Sebastian to stay with you if you let Anders live and fight with you. This petition is NOT to take away the choice to kill Anders or lose Sebastian, but merely to add the option to keep them both, so that new purchasers won't risk being forced into disappointment, and people who have alerady purchased it can experience what it would be like. 

There's no formal way to sign an online petition, so say what you need to say, so long as you end your post with "signed" or "not signed" and if this topic makes you angry, feel free to express your passion, whether you agree or disagree with this standpoint. With enough signatures, hopefully BioWare will release an update, or at least announce/add Sebastian to future DLC. 

We can do this.

Of all the things I would even *want* to change about DA2, being forced to choose between Anders and Sebastian at the end is not one of them.
