Anders from DA II
ITT People who did nothing wrong
>thinking Anders is from DA2
>liking DA2 Anders
>playing DA2
I know he's from DA:A you fucking retarded but he doesn't do anything worthwhile in that one
And yet it's better than anything in either sequel. Fuck Anders in 2, fuck what they did to based Justice, and fuck Bioware after 2009/10
>be nice to anders
>get fucked in the ass
Huh?
Absolutely this. DA2 isn't just the worst DA game, it's the worst BioWare game. Yes, worse than SWTOR, yes, worse than ME:A. It was fucking agonizing to play. I can still vividly recall the single cave they reused for every single mission. And that fucking coast. Forcing someone to play it against their will is surely covered under cruel and unusual punishment.
Dragon Age II had bad combat, and bad locations, but it had some good RPG ideas with the Companionship/Rivalry system.
>antagonize the elf blood mage at every possible opportunity
>get to hatefuck her
He was so based in Awakening, I can't believe how much they ruined him.
>not liking Anders McVeigh regardless of the shitty game he's in
Fuck the chantry and fuck you
this
Anders becoming a allahakbar in DA2 was what killed the series. Forget the shit pacing, forget the terrible shoehorn flip a coin ending, forget the repetitive maps. Anders going complete schizo and blowing up a religious institution and expecting the player to sympathize with him is top tier brain damage.
But god damn the only thing they did right was the qunari, making them a mysterious, indomitable and utterly alien force to the rest of thedas that would have made a compelling sequel if set in Tevinter. But we got DAIlate so fuck it all.
fuck this absolute nuisance of a character. I'd have preferred to have just the spirit as a companion.
ALL THE OTHER KIDS WITH THE PUMPED UP KICKS
>Bring Fenris along for Merrils final quest
>Listen to him roast the shit out of her for being a dumbass
>being gay
>Not doing anything wrong
He actually did several things wrong.
Source: I played that awful game, only good part was handing Isabelle over to the Qunari
He was so cool and fun to talk with in DAO what the fuck happened? fucking bioware
BETTER RUN BETTER RUN OUT RUN MY LYRIUM BOMB
He's a terrorist
memories are flooding back. didnt a rapist necromancer make a fuck golem out of murdered women and use your mom for the head
and thats why he's based
The combat was the best of the series
Watch out a dangerous blood mage has appeared!
what a terrible character
just awful
>Dragon Age II had bad combat
DAI combat makes it look amazing in comparison
Still the only girl worth romancing that's available
>This chunk of shit isn't as bad as this bag full of diarrhea from a Cholera patient
>no story path to get her to stop using blood magic
fuck bioware
>but it had some good RPG ideas with the Companionship/Rivalry system.
Isn't that basically how Kotor 2 worked?
cringe
>But god damn the only thing they did right was the qunari, making them a mysterious, indomitable and utterly alien force to the rest of thedas that would have made a compelling sequel if set in Tevinter.
UH but they did that in DA:O
Despite the hate for how much he and Justice changed in-between games, I actually did find Anders to be a much more interesting character in DA2 than in Awakening.
I just wish that I was allowed to call him out on his hypocrisy more often. He gets so holier than thou with half of the other characters. He'll give Merrill constant shit for being a blood mage, and you aren't even allowed to remind him how he almost murdered several people in cold blood because he's straight up possessed.
Just wondering, when he blows up the building, among named characters who dies?
Like blowing up shit for the sake of being a terrorist is reason enough for executing him, but his killing of innocents is the cherry on top of the retarded shitstorm that blows at the end of the game.
Would have been nice but I'm not against blood magic so didn't bother me that much
Grand Cleric Elthina was the only named character as far as I remember. There was like a hundred other people or so caught in the blast though.
it was empty
ATTENTION GAMERS!:
There is a homosexual replying to my post
I think it's funny that everyone complains about Merrill being a blood mage the entire game, but every single death that occurs during her story route is caused by people freaking out over her magic as opposed to anything that her magic actually causes.
It still sucked compared to Origins considering how rarely you could actually get rid of a companion. In Origins if you piss them off enough or make a decision they fundamentally disagree with they will outright attack you.
>did nothing wrong
He is a gay which makes him inherently wrong.
Reminder
>let me put this branch here that makes this heretical piece of shit look like she has chin stubble
Fusing with a fucking spirit was a pretty big mistake for starters
Only as empty as your lies.
Reminder that DAI explained how she came back. She was just a spirit in the same vein as Cole
Nani the fuck?
It was empty i tell you! do not believe their chantry lies!
I think the problem is Anders' character actually had a lot of potential. It was just horribly squandered. If he had started off more like his Awakening self and then becomes moodier and angrier over the course of the game, what he did at the ending would have been more impactful because we would have seen how far he had fallen from the beginning. As is, he's whiny at the start and then whinier at the end.
"A lot of potential that was horribly squandered" is a pretty apt statement for DA2 in general. It had a lot of cool ideas, and going for a lower stakes, more personal story after DAO was great. It just squandered what it had through spotty writing and poor gameplay. Though the latter can at least be blamed on EA for rushing it super hard.
Ethina dies. It would be like blowing up the pope in a world where Catholicism has power everywhere
another reason why anders is based
Wait, not the pope, more like an archbishop.
The pope doesn't die til inquisition
>"A lot of potential that was horribly squandered"
Strangely this can be applied to Mass Effect also. It's not so strange fucking Bioware REEEEE
>tfw the next dragon age was going to be a smaller scale affair where we are spies infiltrating the Impirium
>mfw EA had it scrapped to make everyone work on fucking anthem
That article made me mad
>what he did at the ending would have been more impactful because we would have seen how far he had fallen from the beginning
If nothing else Dutch in RDR2 is a good example of this.
Fuck yeah the rivalry system was good, it turned Anders into an acceptable fucking character
In your rivalry justice full on takes over and forces him to bomb the chantry, you've already convinced Anders that justice is a fucking parasite but he's too weak to fight it
Well she was right about the Eluvians even if she went about ti the wrong way
Oh NOOOO. Let it be know that homesexuals are gay
who should i friend and who should i rival
who should i fuck
