I can't have a male hawke canon romance a female, don't be silly. I'll do it on a random alt playthrough.

Wish I could tho :(

If it's any comfort, I had the same feeling with the males in the game and ended up romancing Isabela (partly) because of it.

I wish I could romance Varric. Or one of the Qunari. Dat leader tho. <3

(I mean, Anders? No. Fenris? Dude has severe anger issues and is obsessed with revenge ffs.)

I have to say though, I like the odd romance options. Makes the game a lot less comforty and a lot more... interesting.

Varric romance is impossible because he's basically married to Bianca

I'm doing the deep roads expedition right now and I just accidentally spoke to Sandal and said I didn't want an enchantment

Now I feel really guilty :/

I took Aveline and Anders. I thought about taking Bethany but she was already locked at 100 friendship so I listened to my mother. Going against mothers wishes felt like the wrong choice (maybe i have a complex).

I'm in the middle of Act 2 (from earlier, haven't played since i got home 4 hours ago) and I feel a bit sorry for Anders. I know he's annoying but it's a bit shitty his mind is slowly degrading. Why the fuck did Justice feel the need to jump in there. I suppose I might find out at some point who knows.

Character assessment time:

Bethany: I really like her, but she got a bit boring toward the end of Act 1.
Aveline: A bit uptight, but I love her.
Sebastian: FAR too upright, and boring. Maybe he'll improve.
Isabella: I love her, she's pretty awesome. She's not my favourite though.
Fenris: More time needed. Flirting made me like him, irrational hatred annoys me.
Anders: Good God Mage Get a Grip. much cba with the whining at this point
Varric: He's alright. In general I don't like the Dwarves but he's the exception. I don't LOVE him (yet)

I can't pick a favourite. In general I like that the characters all kind of have their ups and downs. It makes them more human, but it's also kind of a srs bsns downer.

Great and accurate descriptions of the characters tbh. It really is difficult to decide who to romance in II, but it's nice that each one is significantly different from the other.

I personally slept with Isabela all the time as soon as I could, apart from once
she fucks things up at the end of Act Two and doesn't come back. So ergo, to keep her, have a high friendship and I found that sleeping with her was the best way. Get me? :monster:

I'd play this game in a heartbeat just for sarcastic femHawke, but I don't think my laptop can handle the PC version.

It gives me chance to piss off both of them when you accept the demon's offer. With Bethany I always left her behind because IMO being stuck in the Circle is still preferable than joining the Grey Wardens which sucks in general especially when there's not a Blight going on.

He didn't. That was Anders idea.

Bethany - Yeah towards the end of act 1 she didn't really have anything to do probably because she was gonna be gone regardless.
Sebastian - Nope.
Fenris - Wait till you see him go off on Merrill, real asshole.
Btw you forgot Merril.

I know some people who absolutely hate Merrill now because they consider her a blundering idiot who doesn't know when to quit

Best thing about the game is that they're not entirely wrong

I love Merrill's voice and I like the way her character is written, her one liners make me laugh a lot. I also like her character a lot.

BUT yeah the whole dealing with demons thing is never a good idea IMO. I didn't accept the offer in the deep roads btw. Happy to hack and slash away at more enemies with my slayer rogue build <3

I actually loved Merrill, she was one of my favourites from the new characters and actually romanced her once as femHawke. She does have her flaws, however, and being naive both frustrates and amuses me.

Her VA is Eve Myles btw. I thought it was her when I first heard Merrill, but was equally surprised and pleased when I found out online. :monster:

Only ever romanced Merrill in that game, no looking back. If Varric were an option it might be a different story, but since he's not she's really the only one I'm interested in. Love her to bits.

That was definitely a huge part of it. Something about the Welsh riles me up the right way.

I've just finished Dragon Age 2.

Will probably post thoughts tomorrow, very tired.

I ended up romancing Anders, BIG MISTAKE although I kind of like what it did to the betrayal. It was also a friendmance and I've now read up on the rivalmance thing which seems to allow some justification for him to live since he apparently wasn't in control of his actions in those circumstances.

All that said he's a cunt and I can't stand him. I had initially romanced Fenris but then he went all woe is me oh shit and left and I was like... might as well test the waters with you Anders, then he just wouldn't fuck off.

I really believe that he deserves to die if he's a friend of Hawke. Having said that, I let him live purely because I wanted a trophy then I was planning on reloading but I realised my last manual save was too far back so I just broke up with him instead. The twat.

Also I now understand why people went batshit over Hamburger's writing :monster:

Uh not too sure how I feel about the ending, it was very... understated. I liked Leliana popping up. I really wish I could play Mage Hawke with Bethany instead of Carver.

They all left Kirkwall and Hawke and The Warden are.... missing? Shit's gonna go down.

VERY EXCITE FOR NEXT MONTH

i guess i posted my thoughts after all
