Wait, let me try that again.

Actually, not so. I said that Hawke goes with Sibling A when the latter rescues Sibling B. Sibling A would rescue Sibling B, while Hawke would rescue Leandra.

This would happen at the same time, so that the Ogre misses.


Lotta slow-motion dives going on there. :P

I don't think Carver would have turned Bethany in if both had been left behind. He claimed not to have told the templars about my mage Hawke when he joined and that seemed to be true, even if Meredith and the templars learn Hawke is a mage later on in Act 2. And Carver took my mage Hawke's side at the end of Act 3 when he was a templar. He turned on Meredith for my sake. It would have been interesting nonetheless to see what would have happened with both siblings left behind if they had both survived. Even if we didn't know them well early in the game, I cared that Bethany was killed the first time.


I agree that Carver isn't likely to have turned in Bethany, and if he sat down and thought about it, Hawke would realize that as well.  But I can also see Hawke being angry enough at Carver to (a) accuse him without thinking and (B) not believe him when he defends himself.  I can also see Carver feeling very insulted that Hawke would accuse him of it.  I see things said in anger that can't be taken back.  I see Leandra watching her entire family fall apart.  I also see Gamlen using the whole incident as an excuse to pop over the the Blooming Rose of a pint, but that last part goes without saying.

The interesting part is that if one plays a mage-Hawke, the angry might be turned more toward Bethany.  A mage Hawke might be angry that after all this stuggling and heartache trying to keep her out of circle hands that she would so willingly be taken by the templars, especially knowing that it brings the Hawke family to the attention of the Templars.  Mage-Hawke might even end up appreciating Carver more if it's made clear that he's doing his part to keep the circle off his other mage sib.

That would be a fun way to play...not really because I like Bethany, but Bethany may say she turned herself in so Hawke wouldn't be turned in. She may say the templars knew a mage was in the family, but didn't know how many, so she willingly goes with them to help Hawke.

I actually don't mind one of them dieing, considdering that I don't have enough room in my party to be a sentimental Hawke and always choosing family, which would leave me withb one slot for my go-to team. Plus tragedy is always nice. But I'd preffer rather than the same class sibling dieing, they just go to the circle/templars and the other one stay with you. But such things are pointless to talk about on multiple levels.

I think as a writer, you should realize that Dragon Age II's story is a tragedy. Tragedies would not become tragedy without death.

Killing off a character the player has only known for five minutes - someone that basically constitutes a redshirt - is hardly worth of being called a tragedic death.

Your argument has a lot of merit but it would only serves to pass judgement on the quality of the game as tragedy; it would not repudiate its tragic aspects. The story remains a tragedy.
