Still boggles my ****ing mind that people think Fenris is "whiny." He was a slave, he was tortured, abused, sexually assaulted, and physically and psychologically broken. Expecting him to "get over it" in an instant is absurd. Has no one here EVER heard of PTSD?
Selling him back to the person who abused him is pretty sick, especially to enforce some stupid "faustian bargain" as if torturing someone is the lesser evil than breaking a vow that he, according to his writer, did not know would end with him being tortured to the point of trauma induced amnesia. Fenris didn't know what Denarius had in mind for him- that is not a decision made with all facts available, and therefore, has no "bargain" that needs to be enforced.
That said, I'd love to see Fenris again, especially leading a slave rebellion (preferably with my canon Hawke at his side), but I am not getting my hopes up at all. They cancelled any remaining DA2 stuff, so there's no hope there. If he does show up in some capacity in DAI, then that will be great, but I just really don't see it happening.
This is my sentiment exactly. As I posted earlier in another thread, I saw a poll here on BSN about which was the better elf romance, Zevran or Fenris, and the amount of complaining in the comment section about Fenris was overwhelming. I was truly confounded how people could, while being aware of his background, call Fenris whiny? Do they lack empathy so greatly that it is impossible to imagine, to truly picture in your minds eye meeting someone who tells you he's on the run from a man who for the last many years has, as you said yourself, held him as a slave, tortured, abused, sexually assaulted, and physically and psychologically broken him and who now has made it his personal vendetta to either kill him or worse? Do people really have that hard a time seeing the man before them, telling you his story and asking you for help, that they aren't able to feel any shred of sympathy for him not to mention the burning injustice it is?
To me he was the first of the characters in DA2 I truly felt compelled to keep in my party. And no, it wasn't his looks that swayed me; I was less than fond of his features at first (I actually looked around a bit for a mod to make him look less elvish - thank the Maker I didn't find one). But his whole backstory and the concept of helping out someone who was desperately in need of aid
to save his life greatly appealed to me and made me decide there and then that I wanted him as around as a companion. Don't get me wrong, I loved helping Varric with the Deep Roads expedition and aiding Aveline at her flailing attempts at wooing Donnic but this Fenris fellow, he had actual slavers on his heels trying to capture him in the -Free Marches-? And no one to stand by his side and take up arms against this appaling injustice? Oh the irony. How could I ever look myself in the mirror if I did not pick up my staff and lend him my powers?
Personally, I don't think we'll see Fenris again. I'd love for him to lead the slaves of Tevinter in an uprising against the Magisters (preferably aided by the less power hungry among them - yes they DO exist, magic user != blood magic wielding, abusive bastard) but I don't think he'll do that outside my head canon. If we get to have a cameo, I hope we hear more about how he's come to terms with his past - it's been a long time after all - and hopefully his sister, too.

Retour en haut
I waited on pins and needles for the expansion. I was absolutely crushed when they announced they were halting all production on DA2 DLC and expansion. I knew that Hawke and Fenris' story was truly over then. All I can hope for is that I'll fall in love with DA:I's characters as much as I did these guys.
), I could imagine him still being with her. Considering I sided with the mages, and despite murder-knifing Anders in the end... I'm sure some people want her dead
