Yeaaa, I really enjoyed both Justice and Anders in Awakening and didn't have the same disdain for the Anders/Justice storyline a lot of people did. (Despite it being, well, depressing as hell; I thought it was an interesting story and was realistic in how a person (and/or spirit) could change.) It was devastating for sure, but even so I still liked the Anders romance a lot for how connected to the story it was. When I replayed DA2 recently I almost romanced Anders again, but at the last minute I went “Nope” because I wasn't in the mood for something that heavy. Oh, Dragon Age, you and your tragedy...

I can see why people might not like some of them; there are certain ones I'm not crazy fond of, but the great thing about BioWare games is that if you spend your time with each character, there's always at least a little something that shows them to be more than you expect. (Like we were talking about Viv and Bull.)

Right? The Inquisitor punching Dorian and Solas made me genuinely angry, haha, I wanted to punch THEM. Leave my bb's alone! (But seriously, I have such an impossible time being cruel to my companions, I love them too much. I can be snarky, even slightly rude on occasion if I'm playing a certain way, but I love everyone too much. Even when I went renegade in ME I was always helping my crew as much as possible, and encouraging them.)

Lol, that hairy exterior. I love the beard, it's a great look for him. He has such a wonderful face too. I think he must be fun to romance; he has layers! (Like an onion, etc etc.)

You're very welcome! If I've talked too much I apologize, I just really love chatting about Dragon Age. The person I usually discuss it with hasn't played yet, so I'm just mentioning it here on f!s constantly in the hopes someone wants to discuss it, haha. If you ever want to chat again, you know where I am! (I need to watch Unity, since I don't own it... I hope your bf finishes so he can play DA. Maybe then you can bond over your favourites.)

I know a lot of people were outraged over Anders' and Justice's story arc but it felt like a natural progression to me. Anders became less selfish after working with the wardens, Justice was already outraged by the plight of the mages. The fact that it went horribly wrong is, well, par for the course with messing with the Fade. We've seen it time and time again over the course of the story. I have such a thing for tragic heroes. People who in trying to do good ruin everything and have to atone.

Conversations with Cole and Solas make me wonder if Justice could eventually separate from Anders and take his own form, and return to being just Justice. Or if serving causes that were actually just, rather than Anders' anger, would make him more moderate again.

I actually reeled away from the screen, like I'd been punched at that Solas video. He was being kind of a jackass, I suppose, but not anything I feel warranted an actual punch in the face.

Haha, I was worrying that I was talking too much. You can't shut me up once I get started. Clearly. :D
