1. Favorite Dragon Age game (ie: Origins, Awakening, Dragon Age 2)
Origins, definitely. The scope of it, the variety of it, the Andraste's-tits-ending of it.

Edit: DA2 does this too of course, but what I love about DA - and what grabbed me - was the ability to choose your character's direction. Choices aren't always "good" or "evil," and what seems sensible now may have unexpected and undesirable consequences down the road.

Of course she couldn't stay away after that, and when Fenris grabbed her she shook him off. "I won't let him be alone," she told him and the elf scowled as he stepped out of her way. "I'm going to him. Now."

"Be careful," he insisted darkly. "He's a mage - a renegade - and he has that creature inside of him."

The thought of Justice prickled inside of her, as if she were the one possessed. "It doesn't matter," she said, realizing as the words left her how true they were. "He's still Anders."

"He could have killed -"

"But he didn't," she snapped. She slid by him and around Isabela, who clucked her tongue before dragging the fuming Fenris out of eye sight. She said again as she stomped away, "He's Anders. Our Anders."

And he was - tired and frayed, almost angry at her when she slipped through the crowd of waiting patients and into a damp privacy of his clinic - but still a man. When he had confided in her the secret path through the gallows, he had stepped close enough for his breath to ruffle her hair, but now Anders gave her a wide berth and refused to meet her eye, even as she handed over the papers he'd been so eager to find.

But once he had them he looked up, eyes bright, and his thanks made her feel ridiculously triumphant.

Finally successfully romanced Anders. He put up a fight for someone who'd been lying awake for the past 3 years, burning for Hawke. Not like Alistair who was ecstatic at any attention the Warden paid him.

But I can understand Anders' reluctance. He's right to be afraid for Hawke; he's a real risk to her safety. And he has little to offer her other than trouble: she's a member of one of the oldest families in the city, she's a rising star in Kirkwall's politics, and she has the ear not only of the mages and templars, but of the Dalish and Qunari as well. The Feraldan Circle is still after him and he's abandoned the Wardens; he has no allies and no friends, and for good reason.

But he's a hopeless romantic. He has that in common with Alistair, certainly. Both men know that they shouldn't fall in love, that they have painful destinies to face, and that any relationship they form is under constant threat. And there's a selfishness involved - they have duties, responsibilities bigger than themselves.

Cousland understood this, better than Alistair even. But she too couldn't resist falling in love. And she's paid the price of that selfishness.

But Hawke? Pff. Sure there've been setbacks and hell yeah has she gone through dark times, but she's always come out on top. As far as she's concerned, templars are just meat sacks in tin cans. The Wardens? Can't be that hard to deal with. Justice? Eh, she'll solve that problem too at some point. What she wants is Anders and what she wants she gets, end of story.

And she got him. He cracked finally under her teasing. That kiss? Smoldering.
