[Legacy. Passing on something precious to the man you love, the man you’re desperate to trust.] I got emotional equipping Anders with the Malcolm’s Honor staff during the legacy dlc while he’s near-constantly having a breakdown over the level of control he has over his own mind. It’s like trying to ground him. Like saying, “Look, love. You’ve already been carrying the torch my father passed on. His, mine, yours, ours.” (Like giving yourself something to look back on, so you can tell yourself: I really tried.)

#dragon age #da2 #anders #dragon age anders #adding to all that the fact that your father was an escaped circle mage and lived his life as an apostate married to the woman he loved #it's the dream yeah?#the dream that anders will go no-compromise on in time and its messy and a betrayal of trust and a catalyst for conflict resulting in death #but also moves the needle like nothing else does in terms of mage rights and freedoms #anywayyyyy anders also has this banter with sebastian where comparisons are drawn between himself and andraste #idk i thought giving him an andrastian staff to carry out his work for now is ironically fitting #its 2025 we've become anders fans #handers
