Hoo boy, I pity any Anders who comes to join the game with that double history looming over him. Would we be lining up taking turns to beat the crap out of him or did you approve of his revolution? ;) I tried romancing Fenris recently and it just didn't work for me. Next up, Isabela, which should be fun. But Anders is always going to feel like the canon one to me. As you say, the way that romance in particular ties in to the game plot is just staggering.
