Description
Okay, LOL. Let me just say that I know this sucks - but I don't really 'do' comics and just have these idiotic little ideas in my head anyway. So I'm going to do them, and they will be bad, and probably unfunny. Whatever. I'm amused. xPSPOILERS BELOW.
But seriously?? How could I possibly be serious about who to take into the Fade after Feynriel? Of course I had to take Anders just to see what would happen!!
Poor Anders. *pat!*

ROFL. I didn't even catch that. Thanks for enjoying it anyway!

I also took Anders because he said not to.
And Merrill to spite the keeper because she was such a NICE girl.
Lo and behold, I find out that Justice apparently disapproves of adorable Dalish girls and they both took a massive rivalry hit.

Don't take it to heart, Merill. Justice disapproves of everything except terrorism.

Hahaha, this is 100% what I did. And, well. I really, really just wanted to see Justice again.

Me too! I liked Justice in Awakening. I was sad both he and Anders were so different. (Hence, torturing them both.)

Justice, or at least the one in Awakening, just happens to be my favorite video game character, ever. I am such a sucker for that type of character it's not even funny. I was so sad how things ended up in DA2.

Well, fellow Justice fan, were you happy with the overall writing of Justice as a character, or were you disappointed in what became of him because it was a bit tragic? Cuz see... I thought he was a bit out of character. Justice is seeking 'justice' for the death of Kristoff in Awakening, but he doesn't go completely crazy over it. He doesn't start killing innocents. Supposedly Anders changed him for the worse, but there are some things that still don't add up. For instance, in Awakening he claims to be envious of the love Kristoff felt for Aura, but in DA2 he's all disapproving of Anders' love for Hawke. I dunno. It felt a bit off to me, and it's been bugging me and I have been dying to rant to someone who might agree/care.

I agree completely. I did see the whole possession thing as a blending of the two characters, though--Anders was completely selfish in DA:A, and in DA2 we see him wearing himself to the bone healing people for free, for example. I saw that as Justice's more kind influence instead of being the Anders side of things. And then Anders' anger and hatred, in turn, twisted Justice.
But really? I felt that the end result made both of them seem like neither. And was kind of bugged about it, even if I can make up excuses to tell myself. You're totally right about the love thing, for one--Kristoff's love for Aura was such a strong character point for the original justice, and since Anders didn't have any anti-love in his thoughts, why did Justice change in that way? Pfff.

I'm glad it's not just me pouting over the loss of beloved Awakenings characters. The merging was kind of a cool concept, though. Maybe if they try to go this route again, or continue this story elsewhere, it will be better executed.

My sole comfort for the way my game ended? Anders said that if I chose the way to end the game I did (lol look at my lame attempt to not spoil stuff), Justice would be free. I am, however delusionally, telling myself that this is what happened--pure, uncorrupted Justice again.
*lives in own little world cause that game was depressing*

In my playthrough, Anders admitted that he lied to me and there is no separating him and Justice, that they have melded. But all of the codex entries state that there is a distinct difference between the two, and since it's so obvious when Justice takes over, I still think they could be separated. If anyone could make it happen... it would be Flemmeth. DLC maybe?

roflmao everything I did was for the lulz. I took Anders, Aveline, and Merrill, and Merrill was immediately like OH HEY A DEMON LET'S BE BEST FRIENDS :D and Justice is like YOU RETARD >[
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Bahahaha! So true. I took Fenris instead of Aveline first time through because he was equally unhappy about it.
Plus I wanted to see if his lyrium tattoos would explode.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
I didn't know that he would be reluctant? XD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
He doesn't like the way the shiny spirit!skin clashes with his golden hair. It's just not fashionable.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
this was the biggest plot hole ever!!!
i mean... didn't they explain in the first game that only mages can go into the fade?
unless the elves have some sort of magic trick they do to send people there.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
They did say that the elves have some sort of magic trick... but that's like saying Meredith was only crazy because of an idol from the Deep Roads. Kind of a cheap excuse to let BioWare do whatever they wanted.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I did the same thing. Anders is all "But I don't want to go into the Fade!" But I was just so curious. o.o
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Same. I couldn't say no. But he deserved the torture in the end, the punk.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Of COURSE I took him. I wanted some alone time with Justice
I took Averline and Varric in as well. I laughed because Averline was all like, "Um, dude, why am I even here??" and then got pissy at me afterwards for taking her in. She's fun to torture.

Bahaha, yes when I'm not choosing my teams for science, I'm definitely choosing for comic relief. Strategy?? What is that?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Strategy? Ha!
I like taking Anders, Fenris and Merryl along sometimes just to hear them fighting about evil mages and blood magic in the background. Which is hilarious because I AM a blood mage. Apparently no one has noticed me slitting my wrists on the battlefield XD
On Merryl's last mirror quest they get SO bitchy with each other. I suggest taking Fenris and Anders along for the entertainment, if you haven't already done that part.

I totally have and it was awesome - even more awesome than Justice in the Fade. I was a rogue though. It adds a whole new dimension of science if Hawke is a blood mage on that quest. I'm giggling.

Believe it or not, but in my playthrough, he was the only one from my party who didnt fall for the demon's trick and didnt turned against my Hawke. 
(even if it involves mistreating poor renegade mages)
Great comic!

Thank you! I had the same problem when I took Isabela and Varric in. (It's a very good thing Varric is on our side!)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Varric has more wits than I credited him for- maybe the whole "brother-possesed-by-relic" offers a helpful insight on the consequences of deals with demons.

Hahaha, poor Aveline. She's hopeless!
"I need three goats and a sheaf of wheat."

The stroll in the Wounded Coast is priceless. Anders is all "DAMN YOU KISS HER ALREADY SO WE CAN ALL GO HOME".

What I *really* missed during those scenes was:
Zevran: You know, Lady Captain, this might be easier for you if you weren't quite so... tense. Perhaps you should find a way to blow off a little steam before you approach your guardsman. Might I suggest... me?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Someone NEEDS to take this dialogue snippet to Bioware and blackmail them until the put it in the game.
It's great! Ah,do I miss that certain Antivan Crow...

I like when if you ask, "Anders...?" (Or something along those lines.) Justice gets all pissy with you.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I chose, "Justice, I presume?" hoping it would come with a *bitchslap* attached to it - but alas, no dice.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh wow he still gets upset? xD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
He says the exact same thing.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah it seems he does, just went through it again. It would be interesting if he said something else insulting to Hawke.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I was a little disappointed in the lack of variation in responses, but, meh.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Haha, I did the same thing! I took Merrill, too, but the ho betrayed me. Who else did I take? Um... I think I took Fenris. Just for kicks. XD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
They will all betray you but Anders. I took Fenris, also for science, and had I been given the choice Carver's Templar ass would have gone with me, too. FOR SCIENCE.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Haha, yeah, Merrill was actually the only one that betrayed me. What a hooker. XD
Carver ended up being a Grey Warden in my most recent play through, but I would have taken him if I could!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
In my canon playthrough she was also the one who betrayed me. I thought it was fitting considering her Act 3 story!
