I tended to be more forgiving of Anders when it came to Merrill... okay, and in general. [shifty eyes] But I think he did at least care about her, you know? In uh... in his own special, Anders way. I mean, he definitely went about it ALL wrong, for sure. But listening to when he'd go after her... he seemed to be at least be genuinely worried about what would happen to her, unlike Fenris who was just... a jerk. To me, it always sounded like Anders was trying to scare her so she'd back off from what he saw as self-destructive behaviors. Doesn't make it okay, but I at least think his intentions were good. Unlike Fenris.
Of course that's just my opinion and I really don't want to get into an Anders-related argument. Just my observations. If you disagree that's cool. Please don't hurt me. ;-;
I don't really want to get into an Anders v. Fenris debate either - I liked both characters, but I do agree with this. Anders to Merrill, while generally tactless on his part, was more him trying to scare her off the path she was on - a path he had taken himself in a sense by allowing Justice to possess him. Fenris... well. "Avert your eyes WITCH" pretty much sums it up, haha! I do like that we might be able to interrupt such banters in Inquisition - whether it's to tell them to cool it/take sides/whatever. I also really love that we'll be able to have those "judgement" scenes that PC Gamer article talked about (haven't read it myself - I feel like it'll spoil too much as I want some game features left as a surprise - but did read the OP in the thread about it). Where your companions have the opportunity to question you for a change - why you made the choices you did, they offer their support, etc.
In Origins it always felt like the companions' lives revolved completely around our character to the point where they felt bit flat, in my opinion,, where in DA2 it was cool that everyone had their own lives/agendas/relationships etc., but Hawke almost felt like an outsider who happened to drag them along for her own purposes when convenient. Hopefully Inquisition will strike a nice balance. I just hope I can actually play an intelligent character this time. I really don't want every interaction with Solas to be him telling me interesting things while I go "dur hur, I don't get it!"
