Changes: Visit Anders

Revision as of 17:45, 26 April 2014

Visit Anders is an Act 2 companion quest for Anders in Dragon Age II.

Walkthrough

Anders is overheard speaking to Isabela at his clinic in Darktown, but if she was not recruited or is in the active party, Anders will be speaking to Seneschal Bran instead.

The initial question "Were they after you?" has no effect on approval earned.

Choice 1. All options result in no approval change:

(Diplomatic) I want to know about you.
(Humorous) It took them long enough.
(Aggressive) Is this going anywhere? (Conversation ends)
(Flirt) You need a safer place.

Choice 2:

(Diplomatic) How are you handling it? (to Choice 3)
(Humorous) I bet Justice loves it! (to Choice 3)
(Direct) The mages should submit. Anders: rivalry (+15), conversation ends
(Flirt) I'll keep you safe. (to Choice 4)

Choice 3. Note that it is skipped if Choice 2 was "Flirt":

(Diplomatic) You have to control it. Anders: friendship (+5)
(Humorous) It'll be fine.
(Aggressive) You are an abomination. Anders: rivalry (+10)

Conversation ends unless Hawke flirted with Anders in Act 1 or during this conversation. In other words, a single flirtatious line in Act 1 or Act 2 is enough for the talk to proceed.

Choice 4.1. If Hawke is female:

(Diplomatic) Stay in control. Anders: friendship (+10) conversation ends
(Flirt) You are so romantic.
(Direct) You are losing control. Anders: rivalry (+10), conversation ends

Choice 5:

(Flirt) I can't let you go. Anders: friendship (+20)
(Flirt) Promises, promises. Anders: friendship (+15)
(End romance) You are right.

Conversation ends.

Choice 4.2. If Hawke is male:

(Flirt) Stay in control. Anders: friendship (+10)
(Flirt) Don't risk yourself. Anders: friendship (+5)
(Direct) You are losing control. Anders: rivalry (+10)

Conversation ends.

Result

Hawke can earn up to (+5) or (+15) with no flirting.
Hawke can earn up to (+35) (for a female)/ (+15) (for a male) or (+20) with flirting.

-For maximum friendship choose the top-right option or romance option every time, except at the second choice; you will gain an extra +5 for either "How are you handling it?" or "I bet [[Justice]] loves it" instead of the romance option "I'll keep you safe". The initial question "Were they after you?" has no effect on friendship earned.
+The initial question "Were they after you?" has no effect on approval earned.
+Choice 1. All options result in no approval change:
-It seems if you've flirted with him previously an extra bit of dialogue will occur, with two flirt options and one rude one. The rude choice appears to earn +15 Rivalry, offset by however many friendship points you'd already earned. It also ends the conversation automatically. Choosing either flirt option, then ending the romance at the next opportunity will avoid the rivalry gain, with a greater friendship boost for "stay in control" than "you're so romantic".
+* (Diplomatic) I want to know about you.
+* (Humorous) It took them long enough.
+* (Aggressive) Is this going anywhere? ''(Conversation ends)''
+* (Flirt) You need a safer place.
+Choice 2:
+* (Diplomatic) How are you handling it? ''(to Choice 3)''
+* (Humorous) I bet Justice loves it! ''(to Choice 3)''
+* (Direct) The mages should submit. {{Approval2|Anders|-15}}, ''conversation ends''
+* (Flirt) I'll keep you safe. ''(to Choice 4)''
+Choice 3. Note that it is skipped if Choice 2 was "Flirt":
+* (Diplomatic) You have to control it. {{Approval2|Anders|+5}}
+* (Humorous) It'll be fine.
+* (Aggressive) You are an abomination. {{Approval2|Anders|-10}}
+''Conversation ends unless Hawke flirted with Anders in Act 1 or during this conversation. In other words, a single flirtatious line in Act 1 or Act 2 is enough for the talk to proceed.''
+Choice 4.1. If Hawke is female:
-Choosing either of the first two aggressive options during the main conversation will immediately end the conversation. The first aggressive option results in no approval change, with the second earning +15 rivalry, and the third +10 rivalry.
+* (Diplomatic) Stay in control. {{Approval2|Anders|+10}} ''conversation ends''
+* (Flirt) You are so romantic.
+* (Direct) You are losing control. {{Approval2|Anders|-10}}, ''conversation ends''
+Choice 5:
+* (Flirt) I can't let you go. {{Approval2|Anders|+20}}
+* (Flirt) Promises, promises. {{Approval2|Anders|+15}}
+* (End romance) You are right.
+''Conversation ends.''
+Choice 4.2. If Hawke is male:
-== Rewards ==
+* (Flirt) Stay in control. {{Approval2|Anders|+10}}
+* (Flirt) Don't risk yourself. {{Approval2|Anders|+5}}
-* {{Approval2|Anders|+15}} or {{Approval2|Anders|+35}} if you are romancing him. To gain the maximum amount of approval, choose the first two diplomatic responses, {{Approval2|Anders|+5}} a piece, and then the next two TOP flirtatious ones {{Approval2|Anders|+10}} for the first one and {{Approval2|Anders|+15}} for the 2nd, you get {{Approval2|Anders|+10}} for on the 2nd flirt if you pick the middle option.
+* (Direct) You are losing control. {{Approval2|Anders|-10}}
+''Conversation ends.''
-**'''''Note''': Some of the math may need checked on this, but that's my educated guesses. By simply choosing middle options first, and then picking the top 2 flirts I got {{Approval2|Anders|+30}}, which means some of the middle options give {{Approval2|Anders|+5}}. I've received {{Approval2|Anders|+15}} by picking the top diplomatic responses and then going all mid-choices after that, including flirts.''
-**'''''(PC 1.03)''' The second flirtatious response is bugged, giving the same dialogue and result as the second rude option, {{Approval2|Anders|-15}} {{confirm}}
-* {{Approval2|Anders|-15}} via the second aggressive option, or {{Approval2|Anders|-10}} via the third, if you're not in a romance with Anders.
-* No change by choosing the first aggressive option.
-* If you've flirted with Anders previously and choose the rude option "You're losing control." from the bonus dialog you can gain up to {{Approval2|Anders|-20}} regardless of any other Friendship choices you have made earlier. This ends the conversation automatically.
 == Result ==
+*Hawke can earn up to {{Approval2|+5}} or {{Approval2|-15}} with no flirting.
-If you have previously flirted with Anders during the first companion quest in Act 1, during Act 2 "Talk to Anders" you can end the conversation with no consequences to rivalry or friendship, If you choose the aggressive option during the first dialogue sequence.
+*Hawke can earn up to {{Approval2|+35}} (for a female)/{{Approval2|+15}} (for a male) or {{Approval2|-20}} with flirting.
