Fenris has the best recruitment quest in DA2, and you cannot change my mind.
No really, for everyone else, Hawke pretty much just walks in on a potential companion at some strangely opportune time, and the latter then asks for Hawke’s help with a personal dilemma. For example, Hawke goes to Sundermount to repay Flemeth’s favor outside of Lothering, and while stopping by in the Dalish camp Marethari and Merrill ask Hawke to take the latter to Kirkwall. Hawke strolls into Anders’s clinic to ask about the Deep Roads maps, and Anders expresses reluctance until it suddenly occurs to him that they might be able to provide backup for the rescue mission he had already planned for that very same night (gee, wonder why Cassandra got suspicious that Hawke had come to Kirkwall specifically to “spread subversion against the Chantry”?). Hawke heads back to the Hanged Man, presumably to do what people usually do in bars, and finds Isabela in the midst of a fight, after which she asks them to back her up in that very same night’s duel. And so on. All fair enough.
But Fenris literally asks a guy to stand around posing as a drug dealer (pretending that he’s smuggling lyrium to the Templars, in a conversation which potentially triggers the Codex entry for a gang of thieves called the Coterie), sending out letters to every gang he knows, and see whatever lowlife dumbass would agree to hunt down a stolen stash of fantasy meth. When Hawke and friends do find the “bait” and successfully beat off dozens of Tevinter slave catchers, Fenris is just… so surprised that they actually survived and pulled it off. “Had I known Anso would find me a man/woman so capable, I might have asked him to look sooner.” If Hawke gets angry at him for lying (you know, about this being a drug trafficking operation?), he straightforwardly admits that he deceived them because he didn’t think anyone in their right mind would knowingly agree to what he really wanted them to do — which, fair enough, is a good description of the whole point of lying — before he starts outright begging Hawke to help him out a second time. Then if Hawke agrees, he insults their friends and calls their sister a “viper” on the way out, all while the game gives you the option to respond to his complaints about life in slavery by telling him how hot and sexy he is. The first time he’s too flustered to respond but after the second weird flirt he just dryly replies, “You say what's on your mind, I'll give you that.” After listening to him talk about being fearful and suspicious of mages, you can be like, ‘Wanna go treasure hunting deep in the bowels of the earth, weeks apart from civilization, with nothing but two mages and a handful of dwarven criminals to keep you company?’ and he’s immediately packing his bags for the trip.
Great, you’ll fit right in!
