I gotta admit, if everyone called my older brother by our last name, even when I was around, because everyone figured I knew I was unimportant enough to know they weren't referring to me, I'd be pretty bitter too.
09:48 - Carver: "...'Baron Paucity de Rochfort's Grand Fete!' " Hawke: "I've been calling him 'Duke Prosperity', but 'Paucity de Rochfort is much better!" Carver: "Le Baron du Stinky Cheese!" Hilarious, one of the best out of the two of them's best moments, well, out Male Hawke and Carver, love to see the Female Hawke and Carver version(s).
"(Chuckles) Enjoy your new pet." "She'll find one too. Thanks for that." Carver and Hawke have pretty awesome banter. Also, I don't care what people say, Carver is one of my favorite characters.
I also prefer Carver. Bethany is a sweetheart, but to a great extent her personality serves as a plot device, so that non-mage Hawke has a personal stake in the mage vs. templar war. Carver's relationship with Hawke, however frustrating, is on more human terms. He's written to reflect a real family conflict rather than to meet the demands of the story.
Carver: "Seems like you could be doing something bigger with our name." Hawke: "Do you have an estate? I have an estate" XDD Brother banter is best banter.
Awwww I always loved that Carver had a major crush on Merrill. It made him more relatable and likeable, even before he matured after joining either the wardens or the Templars. I kinda wanted a relationship to start between them like how Fenris and Isabela start one in act 3, but I understand why that would be hard to do since Carver is barely around kirkwall and Merrill stays isolated in her house working on the mirror.
Same here. Although he was quite a pain in Act 1, and I didn’t much like him, but then the DLCs went out and we could see what he’s become in Acts 2 & 3 and now he’s one of my favorites.
Carver had a crush on Leliana! I thought as much would be true. Also "I think YOU talk funny." Lol. I like aggressiveHawke, not as much as sarcastic but definitely more than diplomatic. And I liked Carver emphasising that he is also a Hawke. XD
I swear I feel like I'm the only person in the world who liked Carver more than Bethany. I understold where he was coming up constantly wanting to prove himself. He only became a Templar out of spite because if Hawke didn't take him it felt like his brother didn't trust him enough to watch his back. I will always like Carver and the back and forth between him and Hawke is always priceless
Indeed. I quite like how once he joins the wardens he becomes a much more PLeasant person. And I always empathize with people who have a ting for merrill. But by far the best moment is when he teases isabela by quoting the chant at her in the most sexy way possible.
@BeachChickThe Carver and Merrill would make a cute couple. I like how Isabela flirts with him, but I think she’s better off with Fenris. Bethany with Sebastian. Aveline with Donnic. Varric with Bianca. Seems like the only one left is Anders. I’ll be more than happy to remedy that! XD
@ladyofrillwater It’s nice to see the good old Anders from time to time, but truth to be told I prefer his DA2 version. What can I say, I love tormented guys ^^
@BeachChickThe He really grew on me! In most of my playthroughs I play as a mage and I always regretted that Bethany gets killed and I had to put up with Carver. But now, thanks to the DLCs I like him much more than Bethany (Warden or Circle), I’ll definitely be exporting Warden Carver save to my first DA3 playthrough.
@pbbiscuit He’s grayed out at the beginning, but after meeting Tallis in Hightown, you need to choose your party again before going to the chateau, and you can add him there.
That's.... a very good description of why Carver is a better character than Bethany, no matter how much you love her. Too bad that's essentially what Bethany ends up being, a plot device...
@ladyofrillwater Not at all :) I just think that his transformation added quite a lot of depth to this character and I love it. Awakening Anders was fun, but frankly I’d never leave Zevran for him (snark+passion+torment! ;)). And I might have considered it for DA2 Anders (passion+torment)... only for a moment though.
He's still kind of a jerk as a templar but it's good for him to become a Warden. He sort of matures as a person. It's sort of the opposite for Bethany though. The Wardens harden her personality, but the Circle nurtures her tenderness.
@LostOddity The difference isn’t that big, especially if she’s a Warden. Plus she’s only there in DLCs and at the end so imho it’s not worth your while.
You get the Warden one on the Legacy DLC and the Chantry one is called "Robes of the Overseer". You find it in Act 3. So, yes you can those things if you are a mage and have Legacy DLC installed.
@LostOddity The DLCs made me completely change my mind about Carver. I used to dislike him greatly but he grew on me. He can still be cranky on rivalry, but on friendship path I like him a lot. Way more than Bethany in fact. I hope he and Merrill will get together, they’d make a cute couple in DA3.
@FluffyNinjaLlama I'm okay with tormented guys, but I love it when the characters dish out the snark. Anders was an almighty snark master in Awakening. He's less so in the beginning of DAII, with it disappearing almost completely by Act III. Even Varric notices. Is it so bad that I want Anders to reference his Spicy Shimmy when Fenris jokes about dancing in his house?! D:
@FluffyNinjaLlama Yeah, it's definitely something they should keep. I love the differences between rivalrying and friending Carver. I haven't tried rivalrying Bethany yet, but she's quite unfriendly on friendship after Act 1, so I'm not sure I'd notice the difference. :/
@BeachChickThe Sometimes, but he’s much better than in Act 1. I even got to like him now and I never did before. Bethany on the other hand is the exact opposite. She’s great in Act1 and gets so bitter in Act2&3, especially as a GW.
@LostOddity Idk, maybe it’s just me but I don’t see such a big difference in her friendhip/rivalry, especially in MotA. There are more differences in Legacy but I’m not sure they’re worth a new playthrough.
@BeachChickThe I prefer him as a Warden, but as a Templar I think it’s very sweet when he tries to protect Hawke (with Cullen) from Meredith at the end.
"Way to sound like a Bumpkin, Carver." Lol. Aww, I love Carver. Bethany is nice, but it's just not the same. And I like Hawke having a sibling whose a Warden, it makes a good tie to DAO (especially with an Amell import), but Bethany is so cold as a Warden. :/ Though Carver can be a grouch, I still think he has a better sense of humour than Bethany, especially in the DLCs. Anyway, Carver's crush on Merrill, and Bethany and Sebastian's flirting is so cute! :3
I enjoy the visualizing the thought of merrill actually finding an supposed to be extinct animal and having hawke take care of it, seriously just visualize it in your head and see if you don't find it funny, I guarantee you won't.
@ladyofrillwater I figure they try justify it by saying he is no longer the same Anders. He's an infusion of Anders and Justice and therefore has changed. Still lame, though. I preferred his Awakening character too..
@BeachChickThe Me too because at least when he's a warden he won't be a big dick towards hawke and at least understand or trys to understand his decisions in life but at least when he was a templer least when i sided with the mages he cared enough and beg me not side with them not wanting to see me in prison or worse.
I played as a mage first, and got Carver, then as a rogue, and had Bethany. I gotta say... Bethany is so...boring compared to Carver. I missed him during the 2nd playthrough.
Oh danm now i feel really bad in my main DA2 game i romanced merril and in my main DA:O game i romance leilanna, i end-up fucking all the girls carver likes
I gotta admit, if everyone called my older brother by our last name, even when I was around, because everyone figured I knew I was unimportant enough to know they weren't referring to me, I'd be pretty bitter too.
"Tame its wild heart."
Maker's breath, Carver... xD
09:48 - Carver: "...'Baron Paucity de Rochfort's Grand Fete!' "
Hawke: "I've been calling him 'Duke Prosperity', but 'Paucity de Rochfort is much better!"
Carver: "Le Baron du Stinky Cheese!"
Hilarious, one of the best out of the two of them's best moments, well, out Male Hawke and Carver, love to see the Female Hawke and Carver version(s).
I love how it's clearly Carver's way of trying to be pissy, but Hawke plays along and they end up joking around. It's such sibling dynamics. XD
"(Chuckles) Enjoy your new pet." "She'll find one too. Thanks for that."
Carver and Hawke have pretty awesome banter. Also, I don't care what people say, Carver is one of my favorite characters.
I also prefer Carver. Bethany is a sweetheart, but to a great extent her personality serves as a plot device, so that non-mage Hawke has a personal stake in the mage vs. templar war. Carver's relationship with Hawke, however frustrating, is on more human terms. He's written to reflect a real family conflict rather than to meet the demands of the story.
I know it's 8 years later but you are 100% right.
Carver: "Seems like you could be doing something bigger with our name."
Hawke: "Do you have an estate? I have an estate"
XDD Brother banter is best banter.
Awwww I always loved that Carver had a major crush on Merrill. It made him more relatable and likeable, even before he matured after joining either the wardens or the Templars. I kinda wanted a relationship to start between them like how Fenris and Isabela start one in act 3, but I understand why that would be hard to do since Carver is barely around kirkwall and Merrill stays isolated in her house working on the mirror.
"that red-headed lay sister"
Same here. Although he was quite a pain in Act 1, and I didn’t much like him, but then the DLCs went out and we could see what he’s become in Acts 2 & 3 and now he’s one of my favorites.
2:02 I fell out of my chair laughing at this.
Carver had a crush on Leliana! I thought as much would be true.
Also "I think YOU talk funny." Lol. I like aggressiveHawke, not as much as sarcastic but definitely more than diplomatic.
And I liked Carver emphasising that he is also a Hawke. XD
Sarcastic/Charming Hawke is the best Hawke
Yes I always choose that one.
I swear I feel like I'm the only person in the world who liked Carver more than Bethany. I understold where he was coming up constantly wanting to prove himself. He only became a Templar out of spite because if Hawke didn't take him it felt like his brother didn't trust him enough to watch his back. I will always like Carver and the back and forth between him and Hawke is always priceless
Carver loves Merrill. I love him and they would be so cute together.
Just one more reason to Carver be angry with my Hawke, because I romance Merrill every time.
Indeed. I quite like how once he joins the wardens he becomes a much more PLeasant person. And I always empathize with people who have a ting for merrill.
But by far the best moment is when he teases isabela by quoting the chant at her in the most sexy way possible.
Carver: Tame it wild Heart
And that laugh just made my day xD
@BeachChickThe Carver and Merrill would make a cute couple. I like how Isabela flirts with him, but I think she’s better off with Fenris. Bethany with Sebastian. Aveline with Donnic. Varric with Bianca. Seems like the only one left is Anders. I’ll be more than happy to remedy that! XD
"I think YOU talk funny." God, I love aggressive Hawke. That made me laugh so hard....
@ladyofrillwater It’s nice to see the good old Anders from time to time, but truth to be told I prefer his DA2 version. What can I say, I love tormented guys ^^
'He'll bugger it up yet' Oh that line killed me. I love man-Hawke's voice sometimes.
I wish Carver had more dialogue like this in the game, the whole jealousy/hatred thing can only go so far.
1:10 *Spits coffee* I'm making Carver a templar next time.
"How often do you think that's going to happen?" Probably before the next damn blight Mr. Ohsoimportant Grey Warden.
@BeachChickThe He really grew on me! In most of my playthroughs I play as a mage and I always regretted that Bethany gets killed and I had to put up with Carver. But now, thanks to the DLCs I like him much more than Bethany (Warden or Circle), I’ll definitely be exporting Warden Carver save to my first DA3 playthrough.
@pbbiscuit He’s grayed out at the beginning, but after meeting Tallis in Hightown, you need to choose your party again before going to the chateau, and you can add him there.
@saygoodnightmanuel Yeah, it’s absolutely fantastic! And banter varies even more in Legacy.
hawkes supressed laugh at 2:04 is so deamn funny!
@LostOddity I like that too! It already was the case in Legacy. It’s a great feature and adds so much replayability.
You’ll meet him in Chateau Haine and he’ll become available in party selection screen after that.
Oh, you can really see the difference between his friendship and rivalry banter. I like that. XD
Uh, sorry for spamming comments. ;)
"Thanks brother!" this is the voice of someone who's used to hawke
@LostOddity Yeah Carver and Leliana :D it’s a pity Carver isn’t at the chateau party, it would be fun to see him talk to Leliana there.
That's.... a very good description of why Carver is a better character than Bethany, no matter how much you love her. Too bad that's essentially what Bethany ends up being, a plot device...
I didn't realize Carver was available as a party member (he's one of my favorites). He's always greyed out on my selection screen.
@AIastair Sure, since Act 1 and in Legacy as well. He’s so cute around her! And in Legacy he gets so jealous if Hawke romanced Merrill. :)
@ladyofrillwater Not at all :) I just think that his transformation added quite a lot of depth to this character and I love it. Awakening Anders was fun, but frankly I’d never leave Zevran for him (snark+passion+torment! ;)). And I might have considered it for DA2 Anders (passion+torment)... only for a moment though.
lol i wonder just how many Leliana references there are in DA all together. Just when i think ive heard them all another pops up
He's still kind of a jerk as a templar but it's good for him to become a Warden. He sort of matures as a person. It's sort of the opposite for Bethany though. The Wardens harden her personality, but the Circle nurtures her tenderness.
@VICTORZITOSS Yeah, this banter is priceless!
Warden Carver sounds a bit grim sometimes.
Thanks for uploading the video!
@Galagraphia You’re welcome! :)
@LostOddity The difference isn’t that big, especially if she’s a Warden. Plus she’s only there in DLCs and at the end so imho it’s not worth your while.
@Wardog261291 He did it in Legacy already, and if Hawke was in romance with her he was getting all jealous about it :D
You get the Warden one on the Legacy DLC and the Chantry one is called "Robes of the Overseer". You find it in Act 3.
So, yes you can those things if you are a mage and have Legacy DLC installed.
Me too. I always start to laugh when I remember this Banter :D
@LostOddity The DLCs made me completely change my mind about Carver. I used to dislike him greatly but he grew on me. He can still be cranky on rivalry, but on friendship path I like him a lot. Way more than Bethany in fact. I hope he and Merrill will get together, they’d make a cute couple in DA3.

Love your Hawke's 1st outfit.
@LostOddity Idk, maybe it’s just me but I don’t see such a big difference in her friendhip/rivalry, especially in MotA. There are more differences in Legacy but I’m not sure they’re worth a new playthrough.
2:02 that laugh! i love hawke!
so....carver seems to be better at flirting than hawke, wonders of wonders
@BeachChickThe I prefer him as a Warden, but as a Templar I think it’s very sweet when he tries to protect Hawke (with Cullen) from Meredith at the end.
"Way to sound like a Bumpkin, Carver." Lol. Aww, I love Carver. Bethany is nice, but it's just not the same.

Anyway, Carver's crush on Merrill, and Bethany and Sebastian's flirting is so cute! :3
I love how making him a warden removes most of carver's dickishness. I almost like having him around now.
It's nice when Anders shows his Awakening side and teases people. WRITERS. Y U NO LET ANDERS BE ANDERS?
Bless you for doing these videos. I never get all these banter dialogues. 😒 how do they generate ?
2:04 ahaha this is great :D
I enjoy the visualizing the thought of merrill actually finding an supposed to be extinct animal and having hawke take care of it, seriously just visualize it in your head and see if you don't find it funny, I guarantee you won't.
Carver flirting with Isabela? now I've seen everything
@FluffyNinjaLlama That's a shame, considering how enjoyable the difference with Carver is, even during his short appearances.
@ladyofrillwater I figure they try justify it by saying he is no longer the same Anders. He's an infusion of Anders and Justice and therefore has changed.
Still lame, though. I preferred his Awakening character too..
@BeachChickThe Me too because at least when he's a warden he won't be a big dick towards hawke and at least understand or trys to understand his decisions in life but at least when he was a templer least when i sided with the mages he cared enough and beg me not side with them not wanting to see me in prison or worse.
Does female Hawke do the silly Orlesian accent too?
@BeachChickThe Here it is: /watch?v=DLRkxOnCKjA (just add YT dot com before it).
6:42 Leliana?
how do you get the warden and chantry outfits? and is it possible to get them for the ps3
02:00 , I died. XDDD
How do I get Carver as warden in mark of the assassin
Carver and Merril?
what do you have to do when carver is a grey warden? I want him back, but I dont know how
Emily Ak You don't have to do anything, he'll become available automatically in this and other DLC
FluffyNinjaLlama ouh all right, thanks
oy carver! back of Leilana, she's mine!
I played as a mage first, and got Carver, then as a rogue, and had Bethany.
I gotta say... Bethany is so...boring compared to Carver. I missed him during the 2nd playthrough.
I hated Carver so much. Until now... :D
Oh danm now i feel really bad in my main DA2 game i romanced merril and in my main DA:O game i romance leilanna, i end-up fucking all the girls carver likes
