The Carver Hawke Thread - Time to prove something!

Okay, this would be the 3th thread, what I wanted to create. You overtook me. Thank you!

Your reward:

BEST BABY BRO.

Carver's one of my favorite characters in the franchise. From the moment he turned his grumpy little face on me, I loved him. I remember the original Carver thread on the BSN - it's loooooong buried, but I had a ton of fun lurking there. I love how he sticks up for Hawke even when he's wrestling with his own issues and feelings of resentment, I love his adorable crush on Merrill, I love how he grows as a person when he's out of Hawke's shadow. He really comes into his own and I'm ridiculously proud of him.

It helps that Lukas Kristjanson wrote him. He's written several of my favorite characters.

Seriously, read this shit from before the game came out. It's HILARIOUS.

Same link, lol. 

Carver is my favorite of the siblings. I love the way he and Hawke banter and the relationship between them. I've made him both a Templar and a Warden, and I really like both versions.... although that comic above is really making me wish Carver had been in DAI! Although we are probably lucky he didn't, not sure I could have chosen between them like that, lol. I think I would have just thrown my Inquisitor at the demon at that point.

That's how we do it in Fereldon

I'm sf glad there is a thread for the best character of DA my baby brother!

I have yet to finish a non-mage Hawke because there is no Carver, there is no point. He just makes the game better for me.

My fem Hawke being friends, instead of rivals, with Carver made being mean to mages in Act 1 worth it. The Legacy DLC made me cry.

Heck, the above comic about the Fade choice made me nearly choke up. I love my baby brother.

Bethany was super bland. But I've considered that maybe I just didn't give her a chance like I gave Carver. :/

HOW? (Always rival... not 100%, but ~75-80)

Yes, I like Leandra's scene, its very nice. But I like Carver's scene too, after the Legacy. If you can collect all traces of their father, then Carver is reconciled even in rival, if it fails, Carver will still jealous. (I see Bethany boring it did the dlc-s with her.) 

(I never sent in the Circle that poor mages! Maybe I can't rival with Anders...)

Quoting myself for this:

^This is a friendship/rivalry info page for Carver that I've used in the past.

Also, corrected an error in my above post.

I didn't put enough thought into it, to be honest. If you're digging for a certain outcome, one should focus on the Hawke sibling and Isabella in the first act. You have the rest of the game and some DLCs for everyone else. For example, after dragging Merrill and Anders to all my "being mean to mages" missions in Act 1, I find out that in Act 2 or 3 there are some magic books you can destroy and gain up to 50 rival points. Fifty! I didn't have to be mean to mages to rival her, all I had to do was destroy the evil vibe books!

I could have dragged Isabella places instead of her; so second game, that pirate again runs away with the Koslun book. I have never had an Act 3 Isabella.

I just got too focused on the idea I should get him all maxed by end of act 1, but it's impossible to get ALL of them maxed.

Ah well. I've learned well enough on that point for play through 3. Vex, the Dexter like murderer who doesn't even care that Carver dies....

Which I guess I shouldn't mention that on the Carver love thread hahaha

But...then your Hawke can be whoever they want to be!

hahaha
