I always found it cute that Fenris was the angsty character but unlike other characters that would sometimes get annoyed with snarky Hawke, he always seemed to laugh/smile whenever you chose the humor dialogue option.
@@Call-me-Creeds I like that insight. Can you explain more? I love playing humorous Hawke. Why does he respond more positively to their antics than some of the other characters? What do you think in his background made him that way?
@@CuteKnight98 There are many theories on it, in short he has no memories of himself before his markings thus he only remembers being a slave. He has no other identity than that. And suffers *extreme domestic/physical abuse* and is only *just* recovering from it, therefore he can't be himself or be happy. Lot of people who are depressed try to make others happy and laugh *coughs Robin Williams* so some people consider Purple Hawke cannon, to be depressed and tries to cheer Fenris up with their dry/cheesy humour which he may recognize. As slaves are trained to not be happy or themselves as they live in fear. Humour is a cooping mechanism for some to distract themselves and to feel better.
@@CuteKnight98 for example if you have friendship with Fenris he will start getting comfortable with Hawke and start to slowly look them in the eyes and remain eye contact. With rival he won't, he will only hang his head or side eye you. Little details of his trauma/ptsd they managed to thrown in.
Similar to serious aggressive mage Hawke is better with romance Anders because of Hawke's hatred towards Chantry and Templar in my playthroughs. It is why I will make brother Carver Grey Warden instead of Templar.
alistair, fenris, cullen. alistair, fenris, cullen. alistair, fenris, cullen... alistair is still my number one but fenris is fun. cullen is simply cullen. staaaaaahp please bioware it's too much for a girl's heart to take!
solas was too creepy and ultimately too selfish for me to really get into. my alistair was never king either. he chose to stay with his dalish love as a warden. fenris was willing to overlook hawke's magic abilities and love her more fiercely for it. and cullen? he saw the depths of human depravity and still keep faith that not all people were monsters. that makes him a keeper!
+Mariah Meadows I started with Cullen but then i talked to Solas and now i am hooked! I have tried to romace others but always ends up with Solas! I've tried to play as an other race but it just doesn't feel right so i deleted and made an Elf.. Bioware really did it this time.
I can't stop myself from flirting with Fenris. I even started a profile just to romance Anders, because I just wanted to try him out... and I find myself still flirting with Fenris, and I reload and tell myself "No, you can't flirt with him!" but every time a flirt option with Fenris comes up, I find myself choosing it. I just can't seem to tear myself away from him. I had the intention of romancing Anders when I first started the game, because I LOVED him in Awakening, but they made him so whiny. I hated how they did that to a perfectly good character.
I remember when I first played DA2 (ultimate favorite game, btw), I found out that you could romance your friends when I met Anders. I thought "Yeah, he's good looking, I'll flirt." And then later in the game I ran into Fenris. "Wait...I can flirt with the elf??!?!?!? See ya mage!"
I start the game my second time through intending on romancing Anders ,as a female this time(was a male who romanced Fenris the first time), but than I met Fenris and was all " Seems like a waste of a perfectly handsome elf."
Jescarius Cantallo well...i guess, he actually dosent hate mages. Just the evil and weird ones like Anders and Denarius, Fenris dislike of magic stems from distrust. As long as a mage has proven that he/she wont give into bloodmagic/possession or become a evil prick like Denarius. Fenris won't mind befriending or even dating a mage.
@@monstervoice8293 No. He does hate all mages/magic in general. He literally makes one exception for you, as a playable character, which he states multiple times through the game - that you're just that, an *exception*. Which is pathetically cheap if you ask me. Unrealistic. It would be way more realistic if he was still warry of mage hawke or wont allow him/her to bone him at all. Otherwise, its extremely hard to take that seriously or respect him. He also harps on Bethany less than on other mages, but even still he calls her a viper and vaguelly says even she'd be better off in the circle.
Looks like a *Purple Hawke romance* -so they have *friendship* instead of rivalry romance. Otherwise I doubt he would say that as he is relaxed and civil with Hawke. Best way to befriend him is to be a purple/blue hawke, do both of that and get all his gifts you max him out quickly... he hates/distrust mages, but he *slightly* tolerates them more if your Hawke was a mage. I would like to believe he becomes more open-minded.
@@vermilion6966 Pretty sure I recall some banter with Fenris and Anders where Anders says, "You just hate all mages," and Fenris says something like, "No, I do not hate all mages, but there is one in particular who is annoying" or something. He does think mages are _dangerous_ though. I relate him to Cullen, or Sera from the 3rd game, who are both aggressively cautious about mages, but don't wish them suffering, and do warm up to them.
@@GoddoDoggo Pff first of all, incorrect quotes to prove your point are hilariously fucked up because it was during Hawke's rescue in mark of the assassin and the quote goes: Anders: That's it. I'm taking the lead. Fenris: You think I'm going to trust you to find Hawke? Anders: Could you stop with the, "All mages are evil," diatribe for one minute? Fenris: They may not all be evil, but one of them in particular is extremely annoying. Which I basically a joke banter. Its not serious. And yes he does hate them, but whats more important, he's afraid shitless which is *never* a good basis to pass a judgement and fear shouldn't be used as a measurement device when you treat people. You don't see women in real life voting to castrate all men just because some tend to rape. You don't see us in real life jail all the blacks just because some tend to commit crimes Warm up to them my ass, Cullen in particular should be hanged for everything he did during da2 and all his crimes, but nah who the fuck cares when mages are concerned, mages arent people, who cares he lobotomized the innocents and *admited it himself* and turned the blind eye to rape, lets promote him instead! So don't fucking talk about Cullen. He's a moron. Even in DAI as far as he goes is to repeat the old shit system where the abusers should watch over the abused, that's not any fucking different from the current system. Consireding how braindead Sera is, nothing she says even remotely worth discussing because at this point shes not a character but and anti-everything commentaty in this game. And of course you only ever want to discuss characters who share your point of view, no matter how braindead they are or how moronic, lets forget that even DAI provides another view on the issue through Solas for example, lets pretend he doesn't exist cause thats convenient.
Yeah. Well you can't really blame him for being angry towards most of the time especially towards mages. Also if you listen to the party banters with Aveline or Varric that he isn't as bad as everyone may think. Just like everyone he has his traumas it's just he went through a lot more than most. And that much trauma isn't easy to get over.
whenever theres a romance like this thats just sweet all around im like: oh i wish there was a day to day journal or something about their family cause thatd be great
the first companion i choosed was Anders ´cause he loves cats but after i saw Fenris well... he´s the only companion that i´ve romanced everytime i play DA2
William Haskins Meet Meredith. She's about to go crazy and kick off the worst war Thedas has ever seen since the 5th Blight. This fate could have been avoided if she had a Sassy Gay Friend. Hawke: "What are you doing?! What, what, what are you doing?!"
MrTaushaman WAIT WHAT HE WAS BALTHIER TOO??? I HAVEN'T PLAYED FF12 IN SO LONG I'VE FORGOTTEN HIS VOICE. OH LORD I NEED TO GO PLAY IT AGAIN BECAUSE FENRIIIIIS
its hard to be happy when you the reasons you should be have been wiped off your memory Anders has had happier times in Awakening and before that, his cause is just but i miss his old sarcastic womanizing self
It's during Act 1 in his mansion. Right after he throws the bottle at the wall, choose the humorous option. Hawke says he could have offered him/her a drink before he broke the bottle, but then decides to "Parish the thought. How else would you redecorate the walls?" XD
![Companions about Anders & Hawke [Party Banter] | Dragon Age 2](/img/1.gif)
Every time he laughs and clears his throat, its like he's thinking "Oh shit, I forgot to brood. Close one."
lol
Making a grumpy person laugh/smile is the best feeling in the world. No wonder Hawke can never get enough of him!
I always found it cute that Fenris was the angsty character but unlike other characters that would sometimes get annoyed with snarky Hawke, he always seemed to laugh/smile whenever you chose the humor dialogue option.

Fanon Fenris: wants to kill someone every time Hawke makes a joke. Canon Fenris: laughs at all of Hawke’s jokes
Both is good
(See it's also funny bc, it's a,, he's bi)
Sarcastic Hawke and Fenris are ment to be, they just are. They perfectly complement each other.
Similar to serious aggressive mage Hawke is better with romance Anders because of Hawke's hatred towards Chantry and Templar in my playthroughs. It is why I will make brother Carver Grey Warden instead of Templar.
Fenris' chuckle is both condescending and adorable.
I always thought it sounded more awkward than condescending... but it is adorable either way.
I love how at the beginning he chuckles then kinda goes o_o;;; XDDD but then after a while he's like "OH YEAH it's okay to laugh"
Makes me think of Jessica Rabbit's quote: "He makes me laugh." The best person to love is the one who can make you laugh and smile. :)
YES, so adorable
Everytime Fenris does his little chuckle it melts my heart.
Awww, I really love Fenris. Plus that voice is delicious.
MsAquamonkey yes it is 😂😂
Gideon Emery is the man behind the voice of Fenris. He has acted in several things too besides doing voice work for games.
alistair, fenris, cullen. alistair, fenris, cullen. alistair, fenris, cullen... alistair is still my number one but fenris is fun. cullen is simply cullen. staaaaaahp please bioware it's too much for a girl's heart to take!

Facts on facts on facts. FenrisxHawke always.

I have the same problem lol 😺
I had the exact same thing LOL His sexiness is irresistable!!
This is literally exactly what I went through. Stupid Sexy Fenris!!
this is me with zevran, fenris, and dorian.
I love Fenris but I did love Anders’ romance too. Mostly because the voice actor is damn good at his job 😂
I remember when I first played DA2 (ultimate favorite game, btw), I found out that you could romance your friends when I met Anders. I thought "Yeah, he's good looking, I'll flirt." And then later in the game I ran into Fenris. "Wait...I can flirt with the elf??!?!?!? See ya mage!"
Literally my reaction the first time I played. Fenris gives me chills, the good kind. LOL
1:17 Fenris: Thank you..... lol! sarcasm alert!
Fenris's smile is like a gift from god! My edgy elf' s smile is the most precious thing I've ever seen!
I think someone at Square-Enix accidentally sent a Final Fantasy character to Dragon Age by mistake and they just rolled with it.
Actually the entirety of Dragon Age 2's cast looks like they came out of a Japanese game sometimes.
Fenris had a great sense of humor that many tragically overlook
"I dance, of course."
"We were talking about Hawke, not you."
ETC
And Fenris' voice actor, that is his actual voice. :-)
I start the game my second time through intending on romancing Anders ,as a female this time(was a male who romanced Fenris the first time), but than I met Fenris and was all " Seems like a waste of a perfectly handsome elf."
I like fenrises and Garrett's voice! It's so....wow! XD

I died....X'D
0:55 is the best thing EVER
Kalina Mase i say that's the best one out of the whole video ;)
I think I'm in love...*swoons*
Damn, your Hawke is gorgeous!
I need him at dragon age 4
I'm literally gonna buy a game because of a gay ship
that would make two of us XD
I'm with you guys
I literally bought Inquisition cause of Iron Bull’s gay romance and now I’m playing origins and thoroughly obsessed with dragon age
Zevran, Fenris, and Dorian gay romances are the highlight of my playing experience
I never played RPG games before and started playing DAI in 2019 just because there's Dorian in the game.
Hahaha its always such an awkward laugh :P
Yeah. Well you can't really blame him for being angry towards most of the time especially towards mages. Also if you listen to the party banters with Aveline or Varric that he isn't as bad as everyone may think. Just like everyone he has his traumas it's just he went through a lot more than most. And that much trauma isn't easy to get over.
It’s so nice to see that solemn mood break, even just for a moment here and there
He laughs far more than Anders, and they call him the broody one?
God, I'm so obsessed with my Dragon Age lovers...
I miss you Fenris ❤️ I hope we meet again in Dragon Age 4
Favorite elf, always breaks down at the rolls from Hawke.
I. LOVE. HIS. GORGEOUS. MANLY. LAUGH.
Goddamnit Fenris, stop melting my heart with that amazing brand of adorableness.
Fenris: * _laughs_ *
Me: :D
Hawke: :D
whenever theres a romance like this thats just sweet all around im like:
oh i wish there was a day to day journal or something about their family cause thatd be great
Fenris, you and I, everywhere. NOW.
HIS LAUGH IS SO PURE I'M GOING TO CRY
the first companion i choosed was Anders ´cause he loves cats but after i saw Fenris well... he´s the only companion that i´ve romanced everytime i play DA2
Fenris's smile is one of the cutest things I've ever seen in DA:2. XD
If you combined Varric and Fenris into one character, you'd have Garrus from Mass Effect.
You. Bed. Now.
He catches himself laughing and stops. It's so sad. :(
i always fell like the male flirt options are better than the female hawke ones
But sassy female Hawke is the best Hawke
sassy gay Male Hawke is the best
sassy hawke is the best, regardless of female/male.
William Haskins Meet Meredith. She's about to go crazy and kick off the worst war Thedas has ever seen since the 5th Blight. This fate could have been avoided if she had a Sassy Gay Friend.
Hawke: "What are you doing?! What, what, what are you doing?!"
PsyrenXY haha, I'm not sure that would have helped. In fact I'm fairly certain it didn't help.
"hehehehehe *aheM* "
Skyrim ruined him a bit for me. I keep seeing those stupid imperial soldiers. HUR.
or you could, you know, imagine that all the imperial soldiers are Fenris.... and love them all!
I see him as balthier from Final fantasy XII
dragonieprayer
well if they weren't all so damn ugly then maybe xD
MrTaushaman WAIT WHAT HE WAS BALTHIER TOO??? I HAVEN'T PLAYED FF12 IN SO LONG I'VE FORGOTTEN HIS VOICE. OH LORD I NEED TO GO PLAY IT AGAIN BECAUSE FENRIIIIIS
flower bean
SO MUCH CAPS LOCK!!!!!
fenris is the best at combat but uses a different power than anybody
o///////o I love Snarky Male Hawke and Fenris.
When I watched your romance video for this, all I could think was "OMG he smiles after all?!"!
Happy Fenris makes my heart happy
Ok. I love you Fenrus, but He ALWAYS LAUGHS WITH EVERYTHING HE SATS!
I love Fenris with this Hawke, the most handsome one. They are perfect together ❤
0:02 Carver: WUT.
For a split second at 0:59, the bottle is like jutting through his hand.
s it just me, or is Fenris voiced by the same person who voiced Balthier from FFXII?
SilverDawn97 Yep. Gideon Emery, same guy.
That's good, because I don't know how we could ever explain our love for him.
Grrr he’s a sweetheart
"Haha...THANK YOU."
its hard to be happy when you the reasons you should be have been wiped off your
memory
Anders has had happier times in Awakening and before that, his cause is just but i miss his old sarcastic womanizing self
My. Baby.
I smiled throughout the entire video that was just so lovely :)
Eeeeek.. *fangirl scream* SO. ADORABLE. Cant, resist. Awwwww.
Wow, most gorgeous Hawke I've seen on RUclips yet.
*EXPLODES IN FANGIRLGASM*
What a pure video.
They are both brooding and smiling in a right circusmtances. But I agree Fenris smile is so much sweeter.
Gnaaah!! This voice *_*
my Hawke: "Shut up and sleep with me! ...wait, actually... dun shut up. KEEP TALKING!!"
Ahaha you are quite right on that one my friend.
Fenris: Hehehehehe.....mmmmmmmmmmmm .___.
@HIMBAMCKYLUVER I'm pretty sure it's friendship; he only says the line about never meeting a finer mage than Hawke on the friendship path.
meanwhile-carver stands in the backround projectile vomiting. lol however,i think fenris/male hawke is also as cute as with female hawke
his kids would act just like him i bet
OMG(i'm such a fangirl) Fenris' smile ahh I melt at the sight!
Best looking Hawke ever
gegeughe Fenris you are the cutest thing ever.
Also damn your Hawke is smoking.
gerhhhh he's SO CUTE when he says "Thank.You."...and when he laughs obviously XDDDD
I just LOVE his little laugh at 0:56 :D
I
i still love that awkward laugh
your comment made my day cuz that is EXCATLY what I think when I see these clips of Fenris hahahaha
At what point on the game does he say the 'thank you' line? That is priceless.
When he is gifted the book of Shartan that is found in the alienage.
Look at those big adorable eyes😍
Could that laugh be any more dorky?
@Dracowrath1 Funnily enough they have the same voice actor: Gideon Emery.
Amansing smiles i love
Sorry for the late reply,but that scene is from "The book of Shartan" quest,when you choose the humorous response.
Is it just me or Fenris' eyes gets bigger and bigger as time passes? The better to give puppy eyes with? XD
omg its so cute when he laughs XD
I love his laugh at 0:56 :D Fenris
0:59 THAT SMILE
Your Hawke is even more handsome than Fenris :3 love both ^^
That was me, too.
@HIMBAMCKYLUVER If you want friendship with him, leave him behind when helping mages. Show no mercy to slavers and be sympathetic about his past.
Watch this with captions on.
Hilarity ensues!
This game cracks me the hell up!
This was so cute.
0:06 When did that happen? Did I miss something? oO
Flirty option(?) I always got it because I always flirt xD unless you've already played through that with the option
It's during Act 1 in his mansion. Right after he throws the bottle at the wall, choose the humorous option. Hawke says he could have offered him/her a drink before he broke the bottle, but then decides to "Parish the thought. How else would you redecorate the walls?" XD
Savethe papercatsXo
Ah, so THAT was it! I always chose the diplomatic answer, so that´s why I missed it... Thanks! :)
