What bothered me in DA2 was the overeagerness of Anders to get in my pants and the lack of control i had over this event.

It literally felt like:

"Hey Anders, cheer up buddy, i have your back"

*You are now romantically involved with Anders*

On the other hands, in order to get Witch Girl even remotely interested in me, i had to face death itself and if i missed a single event, i could forget about the whole thing.

A little bit more realism in this would be appreciated.

lol, I love this topic. People who are uncomfortable flirting with a fictional character, but so narcissistic that they don't want to reject him.

I suspect there's also an element of powergamers who cannot conceive of getting "negative points" for anything, despite the fact that you can easily earn maximum Friendship with Anders three times over during the course of the game.

Or at least this is their professed reasoning. I've always found it interesting how some people characterize Anders' brief disappointment as akin to shooting him in the head, or suggest that he is angry at you for the rest of the game-- or, alternatively, that he hits on you for the rest of the game even if you turn him down-- neither of which are remotely true... though I guess that kind of justification sounds better than saying "it made me feel uncomfortable".

On a slightly related note, and since David is here... Hey David, didn't you say at some point that you specifically wrote a male companion to be as subservient and agreeable as possible to the player, and he ended up being the most popular male character ever?

Not quite. I hypothesized whether making a character completely servile and supportive of every single thing that player does would, in fact, make him more popular-- based on the fact that many of our more popular characters, like Minsc or HK-47 or, heck, even Varric-- don't actually oppose the player in any fashion.

The result was Deekin. You can make of that what you like.

That's not how it worked and you know it.
And there is no need to play the homophobia card, since we are talking about a videogame.

You fail to see the real problem, and that is that the character seemed to be written by a straight guy imagining what homosexuals are like. (Over eager and flaunting their sexuality from the get-go)

Anders behaves the same way if the PC is female.

Furthermore, I'm pretty sure this only happens if you historically take the more diplomatic options with Anders.  He is hurt by being rejected, but he'll get over it.
