I would believe that more if it wasn't such an irritating religious stereotype and he acted with the maturity he's, at least, supposed to have. Ignoring the jokes that can be made about how he would have slept with Hawke if he was still like he was before, I think I honestly would have preferred his character more before the vows. Angry? Partier? Sleeps around? ANGRY? Sounds like a pretty interesting character. Shame they couldn't focus on that more after he took his vows rather than 'lololol blushing chantry boy!' :/

 

Alistair, who was the actual virgin and blushy chantry boy, was written with what felt like more maturity. 

 

Personal opinion, of course. The religious stereotypes involved just have me headdesking. Often.

 

Yea I get that as well. I was just thinking that could be why he was acting like that as well. I don't personally mind him religious but I'd prefer him to loosen up with it overtime and maybe quit being chantry brother.

*feels really awkward all of a sudden because she romanced Sebastian*

 

Don't feel awkward. I can understand why you would. I was very tempt but his tantrum when I was romancing Anders really put me off.

That's the thing I love about Bioware, you're not going to love every character but there's a character for everyone

I wish they'd allowed Hawke to respect his vows more instead of constantly pestering him for sex. I find his vocation admirable. I actually liked the chaste marriage, and I think my Hawke would like religious life.

I know this is a little late, but I'm going to make my Inquisitor at around 22-24 years old. The first play through will be my Mequisitior who will be somewhat inexperienced (so she/I will definitely feel a lot of stress when it comes to making decisions) who is sorta learning on the way. Then every subsequent player will get older, as well as the difficulty level B ) 

 

Oh, ages! If we're not given an age, like we are in DAII, with Hawke being most definitely twenty-five....

 

Well, I have so many ideas for Inquisitors, so there's all different ages I plan, but my human rogue will definitely be in the 23-25 age range. Not as experienced as he should be, still in the stage where he's kind of focused on himself rather than other people... the fade shenanigans and suddenly Inquisition stuff? Will throw him for one helluva loop. He'll deal with it through the snarkiest of snark and sometimes temper tantrums when pushed to his limits. At least until he grows as a leader.

I think there were a lot of directions they could have taken him in my bad-girl sarcastic Hawke would have LOVED to have reminded him of all the things he was missing as a chantry boy

[Boomshakalakalakaboom]

I can't. One because we stab him in the back, bad form Hawke. Two because I don't 100% disagree with what he did. And three because I blame Vengeance for it in the first place. If killing him killed Vengeance and set Anders free finally or if I knew that Vengeance would end up taking Anders over permanently, I might have done it. I would have bawled like a baby though.

 

I guess I just never meshed with Anders in DA:2 *shrugs* I never even romanced him. My first ever play-through I was "aw yeah, Anders nom nom nom," and he went "I would drown us in blood to keep you safe," and I was like "OK... Hey look, there's Fenris!" 

[Dirgegun]

Clarification: 

 

I have nothing against the religious aspect of Sebastian's character! In fact I play most of my characters religious to some extent-- though my Hawke was pretty slack on the subject. He believed in the maker well enough, but he wasn't about to pray while troubled. Instead he was more focused on snarking his way through it.

 

What I had issue with is how it felt like (to me) Sebastian was written with way too many religious stereotypes involved.

Now see, I loved that! 

 

Not in an 'oh, that's attractive!' way, but in a... 'you sound like you could be unintentionally abusive and unhealthy as HELL, I am pleased to put my Hawke through this'.

Haha I was simultaneously very flattered and very worried by that comment. My alarm bells all started ringing there and I decided my easy-going mage Hawke was going to torment Fenris instead
Glad I did really, Fenris is awesome

[Asperath]

I think in the end, whatever people enjoy for their game is what it's about.

I agree with Dirgegun & I used to be pretty religious irl but it's just not how I played my Hawke.

I'm glad that other people enjoyed his character though I like that everyone doesn't always like the same things

He was my favourite DA2 romance/character

I guess I never took the "drown us in blood" thing as creepily as most. I always just saw it as I will kill anyone who even thinks of hurting you. Or maybe I just ignore it because of the noise Adam Howden makes during that kiss I'm so shallow *shifty*

My characters are almost always socially-conscious sceptics like myself they are polite and they pay lip service to local traditions for the sake of the people that do believe but they aren't believers. I liked Sebastian but I didnt think a chaste marriage or a never-materialising future proposal were happy enough endings for Hawke.

Lol well I do understand where you are coming from... I love Joker and Harley after all, and that relationship is as abusive and nutty as you can get

Fenris is awesome! I don't care if he is broody! And my Hawke would have irritated the sh!t out of him, messing his hair up and calling him cute nicknames and moving the dead bodies around in his hall and putting them in crude poses.

Knowing what does happen at the end, I think it's a very foreshadowing comment. He drowns the whole of Kirkwall in the blood of innocents in the hope of making a different world for mages...

I let him live more often than not but there are a few play throughs (strangely when I am romancing Seb, funny how that works ) that I kill him. I understand his desperation and coming to the realisation that this may be the best way HE can see for forcing it out in the open. But at the end of the day, he committed an act of terrorism. Sometimes my Hawke just can't ignore that.

Re: Inquisitor ages

Heck I have a family tree: the three Trevalyn siblings, all Inquisitors in various universes. They even react to each other. The youngest is twenty-six and a real firebrand because his sister was taken to the Circle. Said sister is thirty-two and is rather bitter about losing everything. She's resigned herself to never being able to do anything or excel, but now she has the power back.

[Dirgegun]

My Hawke was a sad clown, basically. Hid a lot behind aggravating snark, flirtations and overplayed confidence, when he was actually a lot more insecure than he let on. Seriously-- suddenly the head of the family? Having to live up to his father? Watching his relationship with his brother fall apart until they managed to rekindle it? Watching his sister die and being blamed for it? Watching his mother die and having Gamlen blame him and snarl about all that he is? Yeah, my boy was in a bad way under all the jokes. 

 

And then I had to give him a relationship that has the potential to turn unhealthy on top of it. 

 

I love my Hawke. Really, I do!

Idk, the drowning in blood thing doesn't bother me so much in the context of a game where fights to the death are a regular occurrence. And that noise...well it was pretty great, wasn't it?  I will not even tell you how many times I just went back and watched that scene...

 

No, Anders was my sweetie. I could never, ever, ever kill him.    Seriously, imo he was completely justified (no pun intended) to feel the way he did about the templars and the Chantry.  Granted, his solution was to way too extreme and he should have told Hawke about his plans so that she (or he) could have helped come up with something better that could have achieved the same results, meaning definite change rather than things remaining as they were. But I would never kill a man for striking out at his tormentors and oppressors or trying to force an outcome other than the status quo when the the status quo amounts to permanently detaining people simply because they have the potential to be a threat. That smacks too much of "guilty til proven innocent" for my tastes.  Sure, it's violent and disturbing, but they lived in harsh, scary, violent times.  In my headcanon, Hawke and Anders found a way to have some semblance of happiness for a time afterwards.

Wait.... that's not creepy? 

He makes a noise? What sort of noise? Is it a sexy noise?

Not to me

 

And yes... yes it is. *drools*

[jtav]

I rolled my eyes at Anders melodrama. What pushed him over the line is his continued viciousness to pretty much everyone, his emotional manipulation of a romanced Hawke and passive-aggressive jealousy of an unromanced one. Easy choice.

[Dirgegun]

Goddamn. My human rogue Inquisitor idea keeps demanding I make him first. This was not my plan, boy! I normally play girls first round-- and, you know, Cullen.

 

 I'm going to be spending hours just staring at the gender/race selection once the game is installed, trying to decide, I just know it. 

[LolaLei]

Can I just check something: did they ever confirm whether or not Josephine is race-gated for her romance?

[Char]

Yes, the interview confirmed her as being neither race nor gender gated
