Talk to me about Sebastian, anyone?

I enjoyed his personal quest and found a lot of his banter insightful/interesting/funny (though that goes for any and all DA2 banter, really...). He's definitely pretty and has a nice accent. His romance is a bit sparse if you decide to go that route.

And as an unapologetic Chantry boy he's very compatible with a pro-Templar party, though fwiw if you do side with the mages it's clear he objects to the Templars abusing their power. He also acknowledges that the Chantry has failed the elves. I think he's more self-aware than people realize, though like all companions he has his blind spots and biases.

He's a decent archer. You gain friendship with him if you go around helping puppies. He doesn't like Fade stuff or anything that seems to challenge the Maker. He gets an inordinate amount of hate in this fandom.

Oh, so he is a functional replacement of Varric, not Isabela as in archer vs melee? Is his accent non-British? Is his voice distinctive enough not to confuse him with Anders and Fenris or Varric, so you know who is speaking up?

Edit: how early in the game does his quest trigger?

Great, ty

LoL, nope

Thanks, guys, I decided to skip him, mainly because he is not available in Act I.

Despite what I said, I finally got the DLC, and just played his quest for the first time. It's buggy, but the char himself is cool, so he is my go to rogue for DA2. his voice is not too accented, and fairily pleasant, and I like ranged now more than melee. Might even do a PT specially to romance the guy.

but BioWare really have to frigging figure out that rogues neeed to open frigging locks. His 19 Cunning score sucks.
