Sebastian could ahve been a really good character in the game, but they lost so many chances to make him more 3D, instead pf the knee-jerk chantry celebate. He was finally showing some gumption when he saw the danger, but he backed down when the grand cleric scolded him. His later rage was guilt that he had backed down. I can feel sorry for him, but not like him as he let others and appearances dictate his actions most of the time. I like your version too!

I do wonder if I would be disappointed with the games after reading Em's stories, myself.

I know what you mean, but they created an amazing foundation. there was so much in his charater to take further ^_^ I think we'll see another DLC for him, that's my hope!

Alas, I was more angry that I paid extra for such incomplete work. Paying extra for a romance and getting that? That was almost as much as paperback romance in cost, but not worth the cost at full price, maybe later as a bundle. And the no flirt thing? He has experience and Hawke couldn't have even flirted? Very unfair, I wouldn't go with a guy that bad. She could sleep with faceless guys in your story, but not the companions in the OC? Most of his dev was vengeance based, not romance or even starting over after loss, but he disapproves anyone else doing anything for vengeance? No, that particular release was so disappointing I'm seriously reluctant now in getting more DLC's, as I can't justify the cost for a bad release.
You've done a very good job fixing in your story a lot of these ways they screwed up, that I like him. But that kind of proves my point, that you had to give him focus, balance, humor and romance that they didn't, and we paid extra for it. You made him much better than Bioware utterly failed to. There's more to a romantic character than voice and armor. Yours is a GOOD romantic lead, but they dropped the ball completely in game.

aww, well, I'm flattered you think so - thanks so much! ^_^
Yeah, Seb wasn't really a full romance option, but he certainly added to the story I thought! Some added conflict is always good...and gave me fodder for writing, LOL ^_^

Awww thanks so much ^__^ I love drawing Anders, could you tell? haha!
And poor Seb. I'm very happy if I can make people think twice about him. At the very least, it's good to see a bit more of his internal workings as well as his outward preachyness, hehe. ^_^

yeah, I'm very much an Anders girl....so my getting to know Sebastian has been a weird ride.
Part of what I wanted to with this fic was investigate Sebastian's unseen story a little more. In theory, nothing at all in the game will change, but the undercurrents should feel different...I wanted to see behind the scenes, I guess ^_^

Oooh, that makes me even more interested. He doesn't seem stupid, our Seb, so a lot of what he does in the story can seem... weird. But that's religious fervour for you as well to a certain extent.

Thanks ^_^
emotions are my favourite bit, but this one was pretty hard...I still didn't nail that level of angry/hurt/embarassed/ashamed mishmah that should be going on there, but it's in the right direction!
