Honestly, though, I think Anders is one of the worst romances - I find him emotionally manipulative, he actually pulls the 'if you really care for me, you'll do this' card. In order to make Hawke do something that he wants, something that is questionable at best. After lying to them that what they were helping him collect were ingredients to help separate him from Justice. Plus the dehumanizing he engages in towards Fenris, purely because he refuses to accept that Fenris was abused by mages who were taking advantage of the power they had.
Just... He's legit a walking red flag to me, I can't play his romance at all.
I didn't found him manipulative. In fact in friendship romance, that quest with the dragon shit potion is just weird. Why would Hawke want to risk his life for a dangerous experiment with that suspicious "potion"? This quest fits more rivalry. But the next part of this quest also weird. Why would rival!Hawke help him in the Chantry? Because he "blackmailed" Hawke emotionally? He didn't say, he will break up, or something similar, he just sad – but I still don't understand it in the rivalry... what he expected... and what's Hawke's reason to help him? Back to the "emotional blackmail" rival!Hawke unhealthy obsessed with him, this would the only reason to help him in it.
Not mentioned, there's no correct answer to a Hawke who really love him and wants to help, but even wants to know his reason. Not because he "blackmailed him", rather because don't like to act blindly, and perhaps... cares about him. But again, it's just me.
This quest bleeds of many wounds. (Just as DA2, what's still fantastic...)
Despite this, I can understand your reasons. This is the most controversial romance.
