Never leave

Description

Happier times :C

I was replaying DAII (since I lost my saves) and decided to go for Marian again, but this time, after all the work I had to set up a nice background and personality for her, I noticed how this game is... in the lack of another word, violent, I mean psychologically.

For those who aren't acquaintances with my Hawke, she's quite the "mage-nerd" warrior, she put on herself the duty of protecting Bethany and thinks the Circle is probably the worst thing in the world.

When Bethany is taken away to the Gallows, Marian sort of hovers around Anders (for the lack of another mage to keep company(she's prejudiced against Merril's blood magic)) and grows REALLY fond of him. They start a romance and when her mother dies, she clings on to him even more for comfort (Marian needs someone to be under her care most of the time so she won't feel out of place), as Anders' sanity slips, so does hers.

In my first playthrough I just went for the snarky dialogue for the fun of it, this time, trying to keep her more true to the character I built, I noticed she's being dragged down with Anders. I got to notice much more he was affected during the years, and it's really depressing to see how crushed he is in Act III, :/

Bah, enough ranting |D'
