Yes they do! They're a business!

"Anders" looks WAY too much like Anders. There is just no way they would create a character that looks so much like him.

My thoughts exactly! But maybe it's just a cameo, though I'd love to have Anders as a companion, he was very funny and made me enjoy the game even more, a lot more actually as I think of it

Indeed. Which means your wishes are on the same plate.
Honestly my question was more directed at the fact that you equated not wanting Anders with not liking Anders. I adore him. I just want someone new. Heck I don't even have a playthrough where he died, I always got the happy epilogue where he considers leaving then comes back to the Wardens.

Apparently Alistair and Anders are not related (I guess?), yet they look nearly identical. So...it's possible someone at the DA team really likes that facial feature set.

Anyhow, we've only seen a single blurry screenshot. He's a blond mage, possibly with a ponytail. We can't surmise anymore.

Anders had the most comical dialogues. I hope his witty character returns in DA2.

No but we can speculate more!
I vote Cailan. Zombie Cailan even!

It's Morrigan after the operation.

I believe the male human mage will be revealed as Anders. I also believe he might be revealed as a blood mage due to the fact that he is the only ally (I am aware of) to converse about a specialization you choose for the character. I know many are going to bring up the point that he is a spirit healer by default but he never mentions it however, he does mention that it is ironic that he is now a blood mage. I do know that is is only if you make Anders a blood mage but I think it is odd he is the only character to mention being in a specialization they were not already placed in.

But Merrill is a blood mage...

[fenrirchained]

If she is then I apologize. I missed that one.

[Rinji the Bearded]

Yeah, I'm thinking that if it is Anders, he'll be the healer type mage. Heck, if it isn't Anders, I think he'll be a healer. Just in case you don't wanna make your mage PC a healer, and etc.

In any case, that would mean a potential three DAO characters as companions. I think that's way too much. I want new companions, not a bunch of my old ones. What would be the point as playing Hawke, in a new country, with a new story, if I'm just bringing the same people.

Any character who was previously a party member that we bring back as a party member again will be because we thought there was more to explore with them.

Minor characters from DAO, such as Isabela, are a different situation entirely. You barely got to know them, if at all. To assume that there's nothing more to them than the sliver you encountered is to ignore the fact that we can have whole new stories for them-- and the connection to DAO gives us a nice base to jump off of.

That's not to say that assumptions expressed in this thread are necessarily correct, I'm just saying that I wouldn't be so quick to dismiss the idea, if I were you.

That's a really intressting way of putting it.. Reminds me of when i was little one time and i asked my mother the day before christmas if i was getting clothes for christmas.. But in this case i'd really like some clothes.. And by that i mean i'd like Anders to be a party member.. But then again i'd also like it if he got a Swedish accent..

It's probably that the specialization of 'Anders' will be something similar to Spirit Healer, yes :<

[LupusYondergirl]

Spirit Healer is actually returning as a mage specialization. (That and blood magic are the only ones from DAO they're bringing back, as far as I know)

True, but looks like that companions won't have a Origens specialization. Merrill uses blood mage and she's

[LupusYondergirl]

You're right... and there's that swashbuckler specialization for Isabella. I'd forgotten they were doing exclusive skills for companions.

[Dhiro]

But I'm almost sure it will be something focused on healing.

[LupusYondergirl]

Oh, I'm in complete agreement there. And really, a healer mage is a good companion choice in general. I think most people who play a mage would prefer to be more damage focused instead of standing in the background healing everyone while the computer kills the monsters.

Don't know if this has been posted yet, but i found this in the possible Epilogues for Awakening



Anders will remain with the Grey Wardens to train the Order's next generation of mages. When he is called by the Circle of Magi to deliver a lecture on the nature of the Architect - much to the templars' dismay - he tells the Commander of the Grey that his time with the Wardens is over. No longer a part of the Wardens, the Chantry brands him an apostate, but never captures him. He is last seen on a pirate ship with a familiar woman.

[Miri1984]

Ta for that - it has been posted . I think we can expect at least a MENTION of Anders, even if we don't get a full companion or cameo.



ALSO, the fact that Witch Hunt had two mentions of Anders when there were no mentions of any of the other characters also, in my opinion, counts as a point in favour of him being in DA2.

[ReallyRue]

You never know, this mysterious male mage could be Finn from the Witch Hunt DLC. Quite a few of those guys look similar.

Which mentions were these?? I heard the one about mage exercise being cancelled because Anders jumped in the lake and swam for it . But what's the other?

A book in the library has some graffiti in the margins that shows templars being mauled by a cat or some such.
