Dragon Age 2: Party Banter: Anders & Fenris [complete]

[@gyrachman]

Despite the constant bickering.. they're actually are very similar to each other. They both glow when they're mad

[@lyriumstoneladydelirium5314]

In that way sure. But Anders chose to take the spirit in, Fenris's markings were forced upon him.

[@Nutellix]

​@@lyriumstoneladydelirium5314 (SPOILER) Have you played the part when he meets a special NPC that tells him he wanted those markings ?

[@Norinia]

you can't pronounce my last name there may be a possibility Anders was forcibly possessed. There’s a small bit that doesn’t make sense, if you import from DAOA (dragon age origins awakening) he says the wardens forced him to give away his cat, however, the warden commander him/herself gives the cat to Anders. Note, some people decide to be asses and taunt him with it, but usually, the warden commander gives him the cat. Why would s/he give him the cat, only to take him away after the end game? I suspect Justice brainwashed into getting rid of the cat (which could say a sad fate for the dear) At any rate, don’t mistake Justice for changing in Anders. If you play Awakening, you see he’s the same ass he props himself to be in DA2. Anders DA2 is essentially Justice in an Anders body suit.

[@juanlaise1059]

@@Norinia Correction. You give Anders his cat but the Warden commander leaves Amaranthine after the mess with the architect is over. It's likely the next commander forced Anders to give away his cat.

[@GoodLuck-l8i]

But he didn't want those MARKS. It was payment. Really he wanted to help his family. I'm sure Danarius didn't even explain all about the marks. About pain, abilities and such things

[@MidnightFae375]

Anders and Fenris your typical Cat and Dog Fight. Since Fenris name is of a wolf from lore and Anders is a Cat person. There should be a sitcom with these two lol

[@CleaverMama]

Friendly romance with Fenris, 100% friendship with everyone else; my reaction to the banter was pretty much, "Please like each other. Come on guys, do it for me. Fenris, dude, give him a break. Anders, that was barely confrontational, stop getting so offended. Guys. GUYS. GUUUUUYS. WHY WON'T YOU STOP FIGHTING?"

[@NoaxElyria]

Isabela: "Oh, would you two get over yourselves. You're like two dogs around a bitch in heat." Fenris: "We were talking about Hawke, not you." Fenris went there! XD

[@mankrikswifey]

"They let you in. Can't be that much better." Damn. Fenris went there.

[@rabbit0664]

Kerri na Basaria Yeah was thinking oh snap.

[@johndavidtibbetts7320]

I love how Anders doesn't snipe back. I can see him just going "...okay point to you"

[@valentinewiggin9152]

The thing is... I always thought that the fact Anders and Fenris hate each other so much comes more from circumstance, than actual, personal hatred. Both of them appreciate freedom, and they both have a really strong sense of justice. Both of them are really passionate about their opinions, if they agree on something for once, they are quite supportive (for example, if blood magic is the topic). The big problem is that neither of them actually tries to understand the other, they only see that one of them is a mage, and the other one hates mages. I felt that if they had the strength or the motivation to work through these prejudices, they could have been really good friends.

[@Just_a-guy]

But for sure from Anders hate goes to the person. Anders is okey with giving fenris into slavery (which is fck up if you think that he had spirit of justice in his head and is ok with slavery)

[@phantommangagirl]

I had the two of them in my party a lot in my first playthrough, so I had to deal with a lot of this. And every time I was just like, "Kids, stop fighting, or I'm turning the car around."

[@pearlclamx]

"break his/her heart or I'll kill you." Fenris, I fucking love you.

"Some things are worse than slavery." "Some things are worse than death."

[@jacobmakenzy2872]

You know, it's actually quite interesting and tragically ironic that Anders, while a skilled mage and generally no fool, bases all of his knowledge of the fade and spirits on Circle and Chantry logic. You can tell from how he talks to Merrill about the fade and spirits. Another ironic point is that Merrill, while somewhat naive about the ways of the world, is ultimately the one who truly understands how spirits function. Damn this game is underrated.

[@aerialmacaroon6312]

I know, for someone that despises the circle he genuinely believes them Merrill’s biggest issue was assuming she would be only victim

[@GoodLuck-l8i]

We've seen Anders and classical understanding of spirits is true. Merril too naive. It was showed in her quest. We've seen only 2 or 3 good spirits (the Oak and Woolsley, maybe Anders' cat, he's magical) in the game and 2 spirits of kind feelings (if i remember correctly) and so many dangerous spirits. There was a lot of mad spirits. Even Cole and Justice were dangerous. Merril played with fire. And her friends warned her many times

[@i.cs.z]

​@@GoodLuck-l8iMerrill said "there are no good spirits, all of them are dangerous". Based on info from DAI MERRILL IS RIGHT. Anders believes there are good and hatmless spirits and evil harmfull demons, as it's Chantry doctrine. Mertill believes there are spirits, who all have the potential to be dangerous. Merrill dealt with spirits with that in mind, she wadn't naive. She played with fire knowing the risks. People around her just couldn't accept that she knee what she was doing and interfered at every tourn.

[@chrysolitegem7943]

Both ordinary mortals, driven to the point of desperation through pain and suffering, each one suffered greatly, being taken from both of their families, being betrayed, and in the end it shaped them, neither of them are innocent, and both are hypocrites and killers in their own way, I will point out that by death count, Anders did the most damage, but Fenris was willing to kill without hesitation his own sister without realizing she was just as much a victim as he was. Each decision has repercussions, and each one is difficult in its' own way, Kill millions or kill a desperate family member see which one is easier, the answer is neither. They both show that while we all have differences, we are more alike than we like to admit. I think if they could look past their differences, they could be friends, so I'll end this with a quote from Merrill, "Fear makes Men more dangerous than Magic ever could"

[@AlexQuill63]

"You're like two dogs around a bitch in heat." "We were talking about Hawke, not you." I believe that's what's referred to as a "burn", Isabella.

[@niamhcorrigan3972]

honestly, when Fenris brought up Hawke's mother, I was about ready to punch him. It's such a bullshit thing to say, especially since it brings up a very painful event, especially since Hawke is RIGHT THERE

[@starjump2151]

THE LAST ONE MAKES ME WANNA DIE IEHFDJVFJDGBJSBF FENRIS IS SO LOVELY

[@HelloYouThere86]

I'm going to just add here that he acknowledges in game that his hatred is a "dark growth" and "poison that [he] can't stop swallowing". He's well aware that he's harsh to mages, but in all fairness, he has every reason to be. Mages weren't exactly wonderful to him, and look at what Anders did at the end of the game. He just reinforced Fenris' prejudice. It's hard to let go of something that was with you your entire life as fact, and for Fenris, that fact was, "Mages will hurt those around them"

[@MokChoiYew]

Hawke: Andrasteh, pls take me

[@jcksparrowfan]

I think the writers spent too much time detailing the animosity between them, and not their similarities.

[@NihilVacant]

I agree, unfortunately, their characters are too stereotypical, exaggerated and unrealistic. Their relationship would be more interesting If they could be friends, because there were really big similarities between them. Like, they both were enslaved, their stories are a mirror image.. Anders and Fenris have known each other for many years, and probably saved each other's lives many times, like, it's unrealistic they hated each other for so long. I was disappointed that my Hawke couldn't change the relationship between companions.

[@miraile]

Running around with these two is like being mother to two fighting kids.

[@kitkaboo]

Every time I bring them both with me at the same time and they start to argue, I'm sorry, but I want to slap both of them in their heads and be like SHUT UP!! But that would be a bad idea cause Justice would like come out and then Fenris would have his scars glowing and yeah i'm just going to go in my corner now and shut up.......

[@fenthewitcher4961]

Sometimes they remind me of Solas and Bull.

[@GoldenLombaxGirl]

I cant help but think of Fenris as Kanda and Anders as Allen sometimes.

[@idrisalavellan3796]

MagentaCrystal59, It's been a while since I saw D. Grey Man, but I recall that those two weren't as bad as Fenris and Anders. I see Fenris and Anders more as Zero and Kaname from Vampire Knight, because even though Allen a Kanda would bicker at times, I still saw them as friends, while Zero and Kaname hated each other, and were in love with the same girl. I think Fenris would be Zero and Anders would be Kaname. That's just me though.

[@jcksparrowfan]

They should have a sitcom.

I love them both so much, and as funny as these are, it still hurts to hear them burn each other left and right.

[@maximusbanks4085]

I couldn’t help but smile with that last line when I heard it in my latest play though. Like, even after leaving Hawke, Fenris still loves him. But he does it from a distance.

Tbh, there actually many Anders fans in the DAII fandom

[@B-rex395]

Is it weird that I’m generally pro-mages’ rights but Fenris is my second favorite dragon age 2 character?

[@sophiacousland3452]

Anders is such a selfish, manipulative hypocrite! He is a hypocrite towards Merrill, who knew better than to merge with a spirit and she has never been in a circle. He is a insesitive a** about Aveline's dead husband, asking if he was a dirty as other templars and if he had asked her to act out naughty roleplay scenes. He asks Fenris why Danarius never killed him and why he never killed himself, even basically saying he was nothing more than an animal. He even insults Bethany if she became a circle mage. He tricks someone who was either a really good friend or the best thing that ever happened to him to help him get what he needed to blow up the chantry, killing innocent people and starting a war no one would win. Knowing this, tell me how Anders is any better than Fenris? I'm not holding Fenris up as perfect, he has his flaws as well. But at least you can help Fenris change and be a better person. Anders had gone too far and is completely insane in the end, and I never shed a tear as I killed him. I sided with the mages to save the innocent who were condemed to death because of Anders and convinced Fenris to help.

[@sophiacousland3452]

And one more thing. Those who hate Fenris but love Anders need to remember this. Fenris may be a broody elf with extreme anger issues and does leave Hawke for a while, but at least he never betrayed or used Hawke, unlike Anders. Fenris had never used Hawke or asked for more than Hawke was willing to give. Anders betrayed Hawke and abused Hawke's trust by tricking Hawke into helping him blow up the chantry.

[@wuzittooya]

Wow, and this is why Fenris fans are more insufferable than Anders fans. You all never want to acknowledge his flaws, even when he’s being a dick for no reason.

[@rodolfosanchez3397]

I totally agree with you

[@TheFansAndPants]

He's a well done character, strong enough to sympathise with. Should he be fun when he suffered? Should he be happy when he's so lonely? From Fenris's point of view, how would you feel? I really doubt you'd be sunshine and rainbows. Hate is instinct, right and wrong are just labels we apply to things based on how strongly we agree or disagree with the choices made.

[@lauracrocbateman]

fenris wins hands down for me

[@matthewgammage6069]

I really hate the Chantry, and I especially hate how mages are treated. Anyone can be dangerous, mage or not. Anders and Fenris both have good points to take into consideration, but I'll always side with the mages. People fear what they don't understand. Buuuut Hawke/Fenris 24/7 for sure. Sorry Anders.

[@Hjalmar_an_Craite]

@Loven Tidus I seem to recall that mages rebelled because they were hurt by templars. No one rebels because they're treated good. You can try to justify that (like Wynne does), completely ignore that most of the circles harm the mages (like Vivienne does) or fight against it. So far the games showed us apostates fare better than circle mages.

[@nicholasemjohnson47]

Anders is charming? Oh sure, back in Awakening, I would have agreed with that statement, but now, I don't believe it for a second.

And because I couldn't fit this bit into my last message: "who are exploiting your support to sell terrible games"; I don't play this game for the romance, though it does make a nice addition to the storyline and because I simply enjoy romantic things, but I play this game because I like the characters, the combat, the story, etc. It's not a terrible game to me, and the romance just makes it better. EA/Bioware isn't exploiting me for liking a game!

Anders... ALWAYS. Best romance and the sweetest man. If there was some way for my Hawke to make sure his love was always happy I know he'd go to the ends of the earth to achieve it. Anders deserves happiness, freedom and Hawke. Not saying Fenris doesn't... but I think Anders/Hawke fit together better imo and rp.

[@LuizAntonio-zs7ko]

Anders would choose Justice over Hawke any day of the week.

[@kallonist]

I stabbed him and I'll never regret doing it

[@kallonist]

He started a war that, by the time of inquisition, has killed and ruined the lives of the mages he supposedly valued, he doesn't deserve happiness, he deserved the death my Hawke gave him. I'm praying that he canonically dies for what he did

[@missbexiee]

kallonist He single handedly started the war with one little event in Kirkwall... riiiight. So Fiona did nothing, the mages voting to separate did nothing? Literally only Anders started an entire war - no mages were fighting in a resistance by that point anyways, no other mages wanted to separate? Yeah. So would you say those who fought in the French Revolution(s) and died were pointless deaths. That people who are inspired to fight by those around them are just victims of circumstance. To say that no other mage was standing behind Anders is ridiculous. Wars NEED to be fought. The American Revolution, the Russian Revolution, the French Revolutions - when a group is being oppressed they have every right to step up and fight for their rights... to say that Anders forced them would to be ignoring concrete historical evidence of other revolutions that have taken place. The Templars are on the wrong side of history - they pushed the mages to war and they deserved the revolution that followed them. More mages than you think wanted that war, but the few that didn't have loud voices.

[@kallonist]

So allahu ackbaring a chantry full of innocents was the best way to do it? Yeah no, he's a terrible person and character and I'm very glad you were given the option to kill hi.

[@JHandcock1111]

You do realize it's because throughout his entire remembered life he was raped and abused and tortured by mages?

[@teaandcookies2579]

I believe the word you're looking for is "magisters", not mages. Fenris says in the freaking clip that other, weaker mages are enslaved by magisters, as well. He has no good reason to hate ALL mages, since mages were slaves right alongside him.

[@johndavidtibbetts7320]

@Shawna Pferd and also the FIRST place Fenris ran to in order to escape that life happens to be blood mage capital of thedas.

[@NihilVacant]

Tbh, I think it was the bad writing, I blame game developers for bad character development (or not character development at all). Look, Hawke didn't influence Anders and Fenris views throughout the game. There was nothing (s)he could do to change their view of the world and/or each other. What we did during the game didn't make them better people. This is very disappointing. Only the final dialogue between Hawke and Anders may a bit different (depending on whether we have friendship or rivalry with him) but that's all. They were both still the same hateful and obsessive men, even if Hawke had romance with one of them. I was disappointed that my Hawke couldn't change the relationship between companions. Like you said, Anders and Fenris have known each other for many years. They probably saved each other's lives many times, like, it's unrealistic they hated each other for so long. Their relationship would be more interesting If they could be friends, because there were really big similarities between them. Like, they both were enslaved, their stories are a mirror image. . In a normal life (or in a game where the creators would have more time to develop their characters), such people would develop a thread of understanding, or at least somehow respect each other. If they weren't friends, they would at least be frenemies. Unfortunately, their characters are too stereotypical, exaggerated and unrealistic. I like this game, I like these two characters, but sometimes their characters were so stereotypical and caricatured it hurt. Of course, they were both hypocrites and not very good people as a result. I found their behavior unrealistic given their long acquaintance and attachment with Hawke. These characters had a lot of potential, but they were made walking stereotypes. I don't know whether to blame it for bad / lazy writing or the fact DA II developers didn't actually finish the game because deadline was too short. .

[@GoddoDoggo]

I would say the writing is surprisingly decent, considering they had under a year to make the whole game. But honestly, I disagree that keeping them enemies is "bad writing" or "unrealistic." I once worked in a job with a coworker, and we _hated_ each other. We would ignore each other at best, and fight at worst. And that went on for almost three years. We never became friends or even "frenemies," and we never respected each other, even though we had coworkers who were mutual friends. And I never, ever want to see her again. It was a relief when I left. Sometimes, people are just on completely different wavelengths, and you simply can't get them to tolerate each others' presence. Choosing all the "correct" dialogue boxes and having a few party banters to get everyone to hold hands and sing "kumbayah" together as BFFs seems way less realistic, imho. BUT I do agree that over the course of "several years" in the game the characters _themselves_ should have changed somewhat. Like the "hardening" mechanic in Origins, some characters should have changed their views, like Fenris should have been able to soften or double-down on his view of mages, etc. or you should have been able to sway Anders to _not_ become a terrorist somehow.

[@i.cs.z]

​@@GoddoDoggoThe problem is they aren't co workers, they are essentially part of the same friend groupe. If under this amount of time they couldn't get to a point when they are at lesst civil with each other, under irl circumstances they just wouldn't go togeather annywhere. Like in Baldurs Gate (wich is fun considering thoes games are the spiritual ancestors of DA) you have companions you can't have at the same time because they just don't get along. I understand that it would be uncomfortable for gameplay here, but from a story point of view, they should have either learn to not tear each other's throat out non stop, or refuse to go on missions togeather.

It's not blind idealism to want equality and to receive it from games. If you don't want the characters to be bisexual and "cheapen" your heterosexuality, then simply don't flirt with the characters of your same sex!

[@cozybones4644]

Fenris is the eternal best boii. I wish I could pawn off Anders to Danarius in Fenris' stead so that he can see that not only mages have it hard in life. It's true that the circles can be fucked up, but Anders' "solutions" are horrific and made things exponentially worse for everyone. And Fenris, despite his faults and prejudices, will hear Hawke out if they want to defend the mages. He's willing to talk it out and compromise, because that's what sensible adults and lovers do. No matter WHAT you say or do Anders is always 'deeeeeugh blow up da church. this is fine' Fuck Anders.

[@AedanTheGrey]

Anders destroyed a false compromise that was maintaing a status quo of slavery and torture. The revered mother just sat and watched as Meredith ruled the city, abusing the mages. If you stand aside when faced with oppressor and victim, you favor the oppressor and stand with them. Anders forced a confrontation long overdue because the standstill was just getting worse and worse.

I couldn't help but wait for Fenris even though he is a total dick about mages, he gets better. Besides, I can't stand characters like Anders that pour their hearts out and are all "I love you" this "I love you" that all the damn time.

Let's go Team Anders!!!!!!

[@xxMiraclesMay]

No. Anders is nothing but a whiny hypocrite who deserved every terrible thing that came to him.

Morrigan fenris is a black dude in disguise who cried about racism when there is none. I killed him straight when he sided with templars. Died like he lived. Whining like a tumblr girl

[@morganrakes4184]

099Nitro Considering his upbringing around mages, the fact that he’s still continuously being chased by them, his only living family member betraying him because of magic, AND Ander’s blowing up the Chantry, how the hell is he not justified in his anger towards them when he’s continuously reminded of how awful they are? Granted I’m often pro mage but completely sympathize with what Fenris has gone through.

[@xxMiraclesMay]

@@bibelow1377 I didn't praise Fenris and Morrigan has nothing to do with this.

Fenris ishhh so cute :D

[@kyokonightstorm5844]

Fenris: "No Magister would turn down an advantage." (Referring to the use of blood magic) Dorian: Am I a joke to you? To be fair, Dorian isn't a Magister at this point in time, but the point stands.

Actually it really doesn't cheapen sexuality. Not everyone in the world is bisexual, I'll give you that, but we're entering a new era where people are starting to be okay with others being open about their sexuality. Not everyone is heterosexual either, after all. The characters being bisexual are opportunities for LGBT people and everyone in between to have representation. A lesbian woman can be a lesbian Hawke with Merrill, for instance, just as a gay man can be with Fenris, and etc. Equality!

Fenris romanced Hawke: you have to pass through me first!!! xD

me too

After a few playthroughs I really got annoyed with Anders. The only reason I keep him around in the party (aside from the skills/talents trees) is to hear the bullshit he spews with Fenris, some of it is pretty damn great.
