The Carver Hawke Thread - Time to prove something!

No. Just at the end fight, against Meredith joined to mage Hawke, with Cullen. I dont know, if Hawke have 100% friendship with Templar Carver, he will leave Meredith before the end battle, or not (I think, not, but would be interesting.) But Hawke never forced to kill him (as I know, I never saw any different video).

I think this is a big fat bug.

I think Carver is experimenting with new looks. Right now it's a Fenris phase, but next thing you know he'll be wearing feathers on his shoulders and have his hair in a ponytail!

The rivalry with Carver is fun. And Anders–Carver–Fenris group in Legacy is perfect! Especially in Anders romance.
Carver is the best sibling. Bethany a bit boring, but I started look at her from different angle, in my last playthrough (I had before one Bethay, as Warden).
Never succeed friendsip with Carver, this is something like an urban legends to me: I heard about it, but I can't believe it's really exist.

Bethany is better anyway... I mean LOOK AT HER

No because she has a sweet and caring personality she is like a chocolate in human form

I think the main reason Bethany got underrates is because Hawke has always been advertised as a mage you can barely see people talking about a non-mage Hawke, for me Hawke being a mage is not canon (unpopular opinion I know) I think the reason Hawke tries so hard and side with mages (at least in my canon PT) is to protect Bethany. Anyway I really hope she returns as a romanceable companion in DA4

I think Bethany or Carver returning is a high possibility since in DAI Hawke said : "I had my friend Aveline take him/her away from all this." why not Tevinter?

If they have even a moderate chance of being dead, Bioware doesn't like re using the characters. Patrick Weekes just confirmed on Twitter the other day that the Warden is never coming back. And 33% of the time, Bethany never makes it to Kirkwall and dies by an ogre. Then there is the chance you brought TWO mages to the deep roads? Anyway. I love Carver but the only way I'm going to see him is playing DA2 or a fan comic. And same for Bethany (minus the loving.)

More mage power the better I say.


But seriously, even though I love Carver I wouldn't want him to return. The circumstances are too messy.

I'm actually glad that characters who might be dead shouldn't return, because that makes sense to me. (I'd also rather prefer to keep Anders "safe" in limbo as I've tirelessly said. Thanks.)

Just. Give us new characters. I'm ready to move on.

Most cameos feel too much like fanservice like in DA2. The only one that's debatable there is Leliana, all the others felt pretty needless. That also runs the risk of screwing something up somewhere like Alistair talking about the HoF as if they're no longer together when they are or like Zevran who is bugged and seems like he's cheating on the HoF. It doesn't feel like world-building to me, it feels like the world is getting smaller. I actually loved Warden Alistair in DAI both story-wise and as a fan but I know he didn't need to be there, and pretty much wish he wasn't.

Perhaps I'm in the minority as I'd be fine letting characters rest where I left them. I'm curious as to what's going on with Oghren and hoping that him and the rest of the Amaranthine Wardens are ok, but I wouldn't be heartbroken if I never saw them again. I get being attached to characters but it doesn't feel like just wanting closure (which could be unpleasant) so much as having our favorite baes around forever rather than what might be better for the overall story.

Something like Isabela becoming a companion in DA2 is different though. I don't mind pulling lesser-known characters up to the main stage. And on that note, even though I didn't like feeling as though I had to become friends with Varric again either, I do like that each game inherits a companion from the last (DAO, Oghren-->DAA, Anders-->DA2, Varric-->DAI, ?-->). Not sure it will happen in DA4, but that's ok.

This is why I so big fan of the second chance!
