@@spacejesus6581 Velanna is better character and would be much better fit for the role to blow up chantry since Chantry cause elves so much damage, she is also a mage so she is really fitting in that as well, she is very against Shemlen control which is seen throughout DA2. She has depth, she is complex, she can change and most of all, her death is not shown in DAA. - Anders gets literally resurrected by "you thought I was dead with the arrow to the neck, well jokes on you, I didnt" - that doesnt make any sense; meanwhile with Velanna they didnt find her - she just disappeared. She could be both Anders and Merrill combined with how unique and interesting she is but she was discarted because people couldnt handle a little opinionated woman that was mad at the precious humans because they screwed up her entire life and Darkspawn used that to their advantage and fixated her anger even more. Velanna is by far the best character in the Awakening in terms of depth and complexity. Although I also enjoy Nathaniel Howe and would want to know more about him as well as Sigrun. Anders was always kinda boring and his stories about circle in Feralden dont match anything else really (either it was poor writing or he is straight up making things up OR he manages to get everyone mad by being a difficult person - he got fellow mages mad, got templars mad, got grey wardens mad and even a lot of DA2 companions arent exactly friendly with him, or at least he constantly gets in other people's business) - for me Anders got complex only during DA2 but in DAA he wasnt all that important or grand. IF Velanna was in DA2 she could have been so much more than Anders but they unfortunately scrapped her because of her lack of public appeal. Just like Hawke was supposed to be the protagonist if Inquisition BUT they scrapped it because Hawke got massive outcry against him at the time and they quickly created a bland and boring Inquisitor - BioWare should stick with what they plan even if the people hate them sometimes because then they try to please everyone and create a mess not worth anything OR at least worse than what they originally planned.
I expected a romance with her.. it would make the Awakening more interesting.. but alas..
You are right, of course. And Grey's voice! Oh! So sexy! So expressive!
@@vardellsfolly5200 Maybe if she originally appeared DA2 like she was supposed to, but was replaced by Anders.
@@usagentgaming3079 she wouldnt make sense in da2 anyway
@@usagentgaming3079 Anders is a significantly better character than Velanna
