* KickTheSonOfABitch: Chuck admits that he's been prone to doing some rather nasty things just for the sake of pissing Fenris off - not that this is any great challenge. In his review of ''Dragon Age'', he actually confesses to enslaving someone simply because he knew it would get on the resident angst-machine's nerves.



* KickTheSonOfABitch: Angela may be trying to go Light Side, but Duke Kendoh (a smug, backstabbing, rapist aristocrat) so thoroughly disgusts her that she makes him bow to her just for the satisfaction of it, threatens to torture him whenever he gets demanding, and eventually has him killed by his own guards.

* BadLiar: Not ''generally'', but his attempts to pass himself off as human don't go over great. When he talks to the subclass trainer and decides to try the Operative class, he does a dance under the assumption of being invisible... accept the stealth belt was broken, and he couldn't tell due to his blindness. Luckily the trainer assumes he was being sarcastic. When the trainer gives him a sniper rifle, he points out the scope is backwards... so Rex tries to claim he ''likes the challenge''.

* HeelFaceTurn: Believes that HumansAreSpecial because Ian Chesterton prevented him from killing an injured man to escape danger. Stopping The Doctor from carrying out what he would normally consider an abhorrent act--one born of desperation and weakness--showed the Doctor that humans could be relied upon to prevent him from going too far. This belief has been passed along to all of his subsequent [[TheNthDoctor incarnations]].

* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Notes the utter pointlessness of Anders' "victory" at the end of the game, noting that it's not only [[spoiler: signed the death warrants of the entire Kirkwall Circle thanks to him blowing up the Chantry]], but permanently damaged the already-tenuous position of magi in society across Thedas, and forced mages who had nothing to do with his revolution into a brutal free-for-all that - if they lose - will result in them being ''even worse-off than ever-before '''if they're lucky.'''

* TheUnfettered: Combined with PyrrhicVillainy - Anders is prepared to do anything it takes to win... but this only ends up making his victories completely meaningless because he fails to take into account that the methods he used to get there have completely invalidated his own successes. Case in point: Act III. [[spoiler: He blows up the Chantry and gets his revolution. However, a hopelessly-paranoid Meredith declares the Rite of Annulment on the Kirkwall Circle, meaning that the mages he supposedly cared so much about are going to be executed because of him. Plus, countless innocent mages will be killed in his glorious revolution, and thousands more will probably be forced to turn to blood magic just to survive, resulting in an entire generation of law-abiding mages being reduced to [[EvilSorcerer Maleficarum]] and [[DemonicPossession Abominations]].]]

* EntertaininglyWrong: Upon hearing that another courier turned down the job of delivering the platinum chip the moment he saw Bud's name up next on the ledger, Bud thinks that said courier must have been responsible for having him attacked and shot due to having some past grudge against him, even coming up with an elaborate theory for how Benny was actually the client behind the delivery all along and in cahoots with the other courier.

* AuthorAppeal: As Chuck explains, the concept of a Sith Inquisitor who would dabble in dark-side magics was a concept he had been fascinated with for a while, but could never have realized with his roleplaying groups. It was the prospect of playing this sort of class that was the catalyst for playing the game in the first place.
