    [​IMG] You know that blonde character with the Norwegian sounding name, who has a warped sense of Justice and a BIIIG chip on his shoulder for mages' interests?
    He ends up blowing up the Kirkwall chantry... the comparisons are just spooky.:bad:
    I'm not letting him in my party ever again... maybe Bioware should alter his name, or something like that.
    Trouble is, as the healing mage, he is an important character.. luckily my mage can heal too.
    Sorry if people feel this post was inappropriate.. I just wanted to share.

    I noticed the same thing. Pretty much a terrorist that shares the name of the norwegian nutcase. I sincerely doubt any of us norwegians will take offence from it though. Come to think of it, my 1 year old nephew is named Anders too. Very common name up here.

    Seeing how Dragon Age 2 was released a couple months ago and Anders dates even before that with his appearence in the DA:O add on pack the creators of the game can't really do anything about it.

    Now if they were releasing the game this week I could see them doing something about it, but seeing how it was released months before the Norway attacks I'm not sure that they can or will do anything about it.

    It's far from their fault that some nutjob in Norway has the same name as a character that they created 2010.

    I think Coin has discovered the true motivation behind this nutjob. Reality follows... computer games?
