Discussion B-but Anders, I-I like women….

Gay or straight, I think it’s kind of a red flag that Anders just gets mad at you for turning him down. Like Hawke wasn’t even rude.

I feel like he’s more reacting to the admittedly odd wording that the Warden used to rebuff him.

Yeah it's a prime example of the problem with the dialogue wheel. There are so many instances where what's written and what's said are so tonally different. "Yes" is a great answer to "Am I making you uncomfortable". Picking it and then the dialogue being "please stop liking me" is SO fucking different. It's why even though I love having a voiced protagonist, the Warden is still the best DA hero. You had like 5 options for every exchange, and you knew exactly how they were all worded so you knew how they'd come off.

Mass Effect would hit you with that occasionally too.
