Hawke - "Let's put on a good show." (5 minutes later) *hawke running around in circles just out of reach potshotting him from a distance with the occasional fireball."
Idk if you knew this but if a woman does a man's job in the Qun, like combat, she is regarded as a warrior (man) and not a woman. By saying this Fenris convinced the Arishok that he won't fight a weak human but a worthy for him warrior. ;)
I got this on my first playthrough when Isabela didn't come back. Was so pissed at Fenris (romance at the time) and wanted to punch him in the mouth. Stupid fight had me running like a lunatic around the pillars from that brickhouse of a qunari. >.
He was preventing the Arishok from slaughtering everyone in the building though... Single combat with the Arishok is really the best diplomatic move ;) plus it gives you more sexy scenes of Fenris speaking qunari so... :)
I'm guessing you were playing a warrior or mage because I find that duel to be not easy but not nearly as difficult with a rogue; even one on one he was one of the easiest boss fights. Then again me and my friends are convinced rouges are OP in the series.
Figured it had to be one of the 2, I have no idea why they made the rouges OP. At least it wan't a warrior I can tell you that fight really sucked for me.
First time I got this I was so pissed off at Fenris for suggesting this duel, I left him home the next time. Big mistake, because then I had to fight all of these bastards.
to answer your question in the description. Yes, Isabella doesn't return unless you are at least friends with her by the time act 2 comes to a close. If you have high enough affection, she will return with the book and then you can choose to either hand her over to him and avoid the fight entirely (the coward's way out) or fight him and keep isabella as a member of your party the rest of the game.
Puffin Entertainment - One Handed Gaming it’s either a high enough friendship OR rivalry. I’ve always done high rivalry with her and she always come backs
Coward's way? More like the "I won't ruin a perfectly majestic being just because you were stupid and didn't ask for my help plus you started this in the first place" 's way.
@@Andrea_404 Indeed. Hand over that b*tch pirate and get this over with. Besides, I respect the Arishok as a great fighter way more than a pirate slut so it would be a shame to kill the Arishok.
Lol that fight is far too overpowered. You have almost no time to use abilities so it’s all circling the piliars until his programming slows him up and taking a pot shot at him. Over, and Over, and Over again -_- I recommend a hundred potions at minimum.
Thing is, the Arisohk has an absurd amount of health, his attacks chunk half of any characters health and if he impales you with his nearly undodgable attack you are most likely dead. Worst of all, even if you manage to put him at 40% HP he just heals up at least 3-4 times. Yeah, not a fun fight at all in any difficulty or any build
I always half-assed being friends with Isabela because I didn't care about her. When I learned that Fenris can give us a chance simply by being there, I've always taken him just in case.
dragon age 2 approval system is more about magnitude than positive valence; with approval trending at 50%+ friendship/rivalry, Isabela will return with the book.
Sorry about the pause when the first dialogue wheel comes up- first time recording live gameplay- I wasn't sure if minimizing the capture screen from nvidia would end the recording :)
would i edit it on here or with the nividia capture software somehow? I mean, it's rare for me to do this at all, so i suppose i can look it up if i ever happen to encounter the situation again.. but.. perhaps if i had an idea of what i was looking up exactly i could find it better..
Unfortunately, RUclips doesn't really offer any good editing options. You can use Windows Movie Maker or Apple iMovie (both free) to make simple edits.
@Facepalm Full O' Napalm lol no.. i had already played through this exact same way before.. just found the dialogue between Fenris and the Arishok very interesting and wanted to hear it again, but couldn't find it anywhere on youtube at the time.. so i decided to try making my own clip of it.. just inexperienced with the game capture and haven't found it worth the time to figure out how to edit/clip it since then
It seems Qunari only consider their own to be 'female'. Basalit-an still has 'bas' in it, roughly meaning thing or it. So even if they're a respected thing, they're still just a thing.
The arishok is what i expected when they announced a romancable qunari in DA:I. That beast of a man with an awesome voice, cool horns, a sense of honor. I wanted Sten but with the arishok's look. Instead, I got captain small head, stomach nipples of the ss.safeword 🙄 So disappointing.
The thing is, you wouldn't be able to romance them, as there is no romance under the Qun. Have you seen the bad ending with Bull - the inquisitor was nothing to him, not even a plaything and he was just pretending as a damn good spy he is. Any follower of the Qun is so brainwashed they don't even object to what they have to do, even Bull after so many years of working in Orlais and doubting the Qun has difficulties forgetting about what he was taught...
TawniAline The name Fenris comes from Nordic Mythology. Fenriswulf, or Fenris for short is the name of the wolf that is destined to devour Odin in Ragnarok.
i got what he was saying.. the game gives an explanation of the name as "little wolf" im just not sure how the correct or incorrect translation or association of the character with wolves has anything to do with the playability of the game...
Fought him as a Force Mage build. 5 minutes of running around, spamming all of the slowing spells with an occasional Stone Fist/Ice spell/Chain lightning. Also potions. Lots of potions. Got impaled only twice. Thanks, Fenris 😅
The viscount was a political pawn of Meredith, she installed him years ago and he was the filter by which she controlled the city with less aggressiveness. The Arishok removed that and forced her to become more active to maintain her power. Since Hawke did the job faster the Arishok also served to turn Hawke into the third most powerful political force in Kirkwall, less important only in comparison to the Grand Cleric and Meredith herself. Meredith was no politician, but she was forced to become when after the Viscount’s death, thus began her mistakes. She barred the election of a new Viscount since Hawke would inevitably become it, since Hawke is the Champion and heir to the Amell family who once rivaled Dumar for the throne.

Who knew fenris was a lawyer
A RULES lawyer at that.
Fenris: MEET HER IN THE PARKING LOT IN 2O MINUTES
Arishok should have met Female Commander Shepard I hear she headbutts like a Krogan if somebody insults her or punches them XD
Hawke: And if you kill me?
Arishok: Then you are dead.
--
Most straight forward thing I've ever heard.
True. Dead people dont have to worry about what comes after.
That's the Qun for you.
People die when they're killed
drago intensifies.
Best written character in the game, by far.
Hawke - "Let's put on a good show."
(5 minutes later)
*hawke running around in circles just out of reach potshotting him from a distance with the occasional fireball."
I mean. It IS a good show
@@magiccarp2493 yeah lighting a fire resistant enemy on fire with a fireball
Fireballs and a show! Ladies and gentlemen, marshmallows at the ready!
Thank you, Fenris. I’m quite capable at getting into impossible to win fights without your help.
You’re still very attractive though
if it makes you feel any better, the duel would've happened even without him hanging out with you
@@weedragonauts4729 not true, you can opt to kill all his followers too.
Fenris: He will fight you!
Me: YEAH!....wait what!!?
Fenris: a duel!
Me: I THOUGHT YOU LOVE ME!!!!!
he believes you will win, if not he'll revenge for you
Fenris: Don't die.
Fenris: But she is no female-
Female Hawk: What
Idk if you knew this but if a woman does a man's job in the Qun, like combat, she is regarded as a warrior (man) and not a woman. By saying this Fenris convinced the Arishok that he won't fight a weak human but a worthy for him warrior. ;)
I knew that 🙂, I just thought it would be a funny joke
Young Victor
I assume "Tumblr snowflake" means "person who uses Tumblr alot"
JK Hopeful lol glad you weren’t in that room then.
Push ups.
Now.
Fenris: "She's going to kill you."
Hawke: "Then I'm going to drag you home and fuck YOU!"
Fenris: "YEAH- wait, what?"
Hawke: You hear me, Fenris

Mage, actually. The fight's just tedious on mage, rogue was fun though. Just backstabbed, fanged and assassinated xD
Figured it had to be one of the 2, I have no idea why they made the rouges OP. At least it wan't a warrior I can tell you that fight really sucked for me.
I really wanted to romance the arishock
1:02 Brain freeze? Sarcastic Hawke is probably thinking about some jokes about his horns... lol.
First time I got this I was so pissed off at Fenris for suggesting this duel, I left him home the next time. Big mistake, because then I had to fight all of these bastards.
Lol
Yeah, Fenris is technically doing you a favor here. It f^cking sucks, but the alternative is bleaker.
1:55 Before Veilguard whitewashed the Qun, taking down the Arishok as a female Hawke was so satisfying after hearing that line
Fenris *Speaks Qun*
My Hawke: Oh fuck the hell yes
Also challenges the Qun to a duel on your behalf so that the dude can chase you around with a giant sword lol

@@Andrea_404 nahh it's the cowards way
@@Andrea_404 Indeed. Hand over that b*tch pirate and get this over with. Besides, I respect the Arishok as a great fighter way more than a pirate slut so it would be a shame to kill the Arishok.
Ugh Fem!Hawke is such a babe
"....that's what killing you means."
getting yelled at by a qunari as if as i was a child is intimidating
So is him chasing you around with a couple giant weapons
I mean it’s better then fighting an entire room of qunari
Lol that fight is far too overpowered. You have almost no time to use abilities so it’s all circling the piliars until his programming slows him up and taking a pot shot at him. Over, and Over, and Over again -_- I recommend a hundred potions at minimum.
after the first time i did that fight I used the killallhostiles console command in subsequent playthroughs. such an annoying and boring fight lol
you can summon a dog, btw, it helps a lot
@@badlie4858 going in as a rogue also makes it a little easier due to them being fast melee combatants
They made it look cool in the trailer lol

dragon age 2 approval system is more about magnitude than positive valence; with approval trending at 50%+ friendship/rivalry, Isabela will return with the book.
You should check the Tyranny one, then. Each companion has two independent scores, one for loyalty and another one for fear.
does the game have a more visually appealing version?
Which is how I end up romancing her XD
kailianglf2 use the mod
Meet her on the playground after lunch.
Sorry about the pause when the first dialogue wheel comes up- first time recording live gameplay- I wasn't sure if minimizing the capture screen from nvidia would end the recording :)
In the future, you can just edit out the pause.
i've only managed to have isa come back once, it's So hard to max approval for her. in fact one potion needs to have her after quest to make too
would i edit it on here or with the nividia capture software somehow? I mean, it's rare for me to do this at all, so i suppose i can look it up if i ever happen to encounter the situation again.. but.. perhaps if i had an idea of what i was looking up exactly i could find it better..

Fenris is a remarkable individual
It seems Qunari only consider their own to be 'female'. Basalit-an still has 'bas' in it, roughly meaning thing or it. So even if they're a respected thing, they're still just a thing.
Was this duel a pain in the ass....
You can say that again
me as mage shit no mana run run run
Ive heard "Shanedan, Hawke" too many times for my pleasure. Used to get my ahhh whooped by The Arishok so many times lol-
Ahaaa yes. This fight as a mage shows why Qunar do not battle females (yes a male mage resists the same).
The arishok is what i expected when they announced a romancable qunari in DA:I. That beast of a man with an awesome voice, cool horns, a sense of honor.
I wanted Sten but with the arishok's look.
Instead, I got captain small head, stomach nipples of the ss.safeword 🙄
So disappointing.
I...have to agree. Especially the whole safewords part is disturbing. This whole SM shtick is just...nope.
Oh sorry, you got a deep, amazing character instead of a fanatic of the Qun.
Not going to lie, that would have been interesting.
Iron Bull is still my favorite romance option, though.
The thing is, you wouldn't be able to romance them, as there is no romance under the Qun. Have you seen the bad ending with Bull - the inquisitor was nothing to him, not even a plaything and he was just pretending as a damn good spy he is.

I really like Iron Bull but you're right.
Me after dying 4 times uploading an earlier save and completely rebuilding my character: How did he still kill me so easily?
Fenris has nothing to do with wolves. Literally unplayable.
huh?
Ethan Worner there are no wolves on fenris
TawniAline The name Fenris comes from Nordic Mythology. Fenriswulf, or Fenris for short is the name of the wolf that is destined to devour Odin in Ragnarok.
curtis metcalf only aliens that look like giant wolves.

Thanks, Fenris 😅
I love the armor you have for Hawke! Is it a mod or is it something you can find in game?
Nexus mod. Dragon knight armor
Cash me outsiiide
The Arishok is right thou.
Ehmm why are they talking to Hawk while there’s no Hawk in the room?
What's the name of the robe that you are using?
can't tell if that showed up.. Nexus mod called dragon knight armor 😊
1:46 Lor'themar talking to Thrall.
what armour do you have? looks nice lol
Nuzy_Skittles : Its a Nexus mod called dragon knight armor
TawniAline got to get that mod now lol thanks
better call fenris
femhawke is beautiful.
One more sub!
The arishok had nothing to do with the main storyline should have been left out entirely made the game drag out
The viscount was a political pawn of Meredith, she installed him years ago and he was the filter by which she controlled the city with less aggressiveness. The Arishok removed that and forced her to become more active to maintain her power.
Since Hawke did the job faster the Arishok also served to turn Hawke into the third most powerful political force in Kirkwall, less important only in comparison to the Grand Cleric and Meredith herself.
Meredith was no politician, but she was forced to become when after the Viscount’s death, thus began her mistakes. She barred the election of a new Viscount since Hawke would inevitably become it, since Hawke is the Champion and heir to the Amell family who once rivaled Dumar for the throne.
There was a main storyline?
The momeny when you realise that Fenris knew the Qun laws better than Arishok
