@Melanek999 DG has said before that the resemblance between Alistair and Anders is purely coincidental.

OK, thanks for that.

Sorry but no, Sebastian basically IS Nathaniel with a different face/name/accent.  We don't need two broody archers from noble houses who are out for revenge.

And I'm hopping from foot to foot in excitement now. Not just because of possible Anders. I'm kind of in love with default Hawke as well...

You can never have too much of a good thing!

Or a boring, done to death thing.

I hope he comes back, that'd be cool. If he does, I really hope he has Ser Pounce Alot, lol. I'd really like the chance to actually have dialogues with him this time like I did with all my Origins companions to get know him, that was really lacking in Awakening.



Only thing that concerns me is that he can die if u leave him at the keep at the end and I'd imagine lots of peeps would rage if that meant they'd have to redo Awakenings to make sure he lives so they can have another mage in their party AND I'd imagine they'd still rage if the fact that he died in their Awakening save file if he was still a possible companion, lol.



I just hope Valenna is not a possible companion cuz she was my least favorite companion in all of DA and it's DLC games. That's about the only one I'd probably rage about myself. Hey, it's the internet, everyone can get hardcore with their keyboard here.

They would not make you replay the game. It's become very obvious that decisions you made in the original game will have little to no consequences on what happens in DA2. And we don't have access to a lot of the Awakening stuff in the toolset, but I would bet my lunch money that none of the ending decisions/epilogues trigger any flags in the game itself, meaning DA2 would have no way of even knowing if your Anders died or survived.



Also, let's not forget how many other details they've retconned. Races look completely different. I don't think what happened to Anders in your individual playthrough will have much if any impact on DA2.

[berelinde]

Has anyone actually confirmed that Anders will appear in DA2? I would be tickled seven shades of pink if he were a full-time companion and love interest for the whole game, but I'm really trying not to get my hopes up.

[tmelange]

Doesn't part of DA2 take place before the time period of Awakenings? And aren't companions in DA2 free to go and come as they will instead of being relegated to a campsite? Couldn't Anders be available in the beginning, leave, get caught up in Awakenings, and then, end up back in Kirkwall if the game epilogue allows, but if he's killed, Hawke would simply hear about it from a merchant or bartender?


The newest dev diary seems to lend credence to the notion of the companions coming and going at their discretion...so *shrug* maybe they are not all available all of the time.

If Anders is in the game an in it as a companion than I hope that there's dialogue between him and Hawk about my Import Warden (Human Mage) I'd like to hear a convo where Hawk says that he's related to the same person who saved him from the Templars and made him a Grey Warden.

[Anarya]

I hope he's at least a cameo. I love that rascally skirt-loving mage.

[Miri1984]

I will do embarrassing things out of joy if he's in DA2 in any capacity. Hell, I did a little jig of happy when Steve V. confirmed an Alistair cameo, and Anders is WAY more fun IMO.

[expwnit]

I do believe it was mentioned that there will be characters available in one period of time and not another. After all, in ten whole years, some of them have to have other things to do, right? Maybe Anders could be a temporary companion to line up to Awakening, who knows.

I think what's important is that you sussed out Sebastian's entire story from the clip. Since being noble archers that are out for revenge is all there is to either character, I guess we really should have stuck with just the one. Our bad.

OR.

or the space-time continuum simply collapses when they meet.

So far we are completely missing a purely sarcastic/comic relief character.

And WE NEED a purely sarcastic/comic relief character.

I for one would be happy to have Anders back.  He's my favorite Awakenings companion. I just can't get enough of the snarky-goofiness combo.  

I know very little of the revealed companions so far, but from my first impression (which is subject to change upon more reveal or gameplay) it seems most of the companions are dark/serious/broody in one way or another.  For me it would make the game too heavy or dark.  One of the things I liked about DA is the interspersing of comedy with the drama & I feel having Anders back would bring that.  

My two cents.

Varric and Isabela strike you as dark/serious/broody?

Maybe Malu managed to catch Varric when he spilled wine on his favorite and most expensive shirt. *broods*

No matter what character we bring in, if they had any epilogue text (no matter how far into the future that epilogue forecast) I'm positive that we won't treat them nearly as sacrosanct as some people on these forums will think we should. That's not, you'll note, the same as not dealing with them at all.

Not to mention one of the 'endings' has Anders joining the crew of a 'merchant ship' with a 'certain female captain', eh? =P

Of course, I'm obviously wrong, but I can hope, right?

[DiscipleofUranus]

If I remember correctly, wasn't Nathaniel in the Free Marches during the Blight.? And again, i may be remembering this wrong, but the story of Hawke starts during the blight and finishes afterwards.



So potentially, Anders and Nathaniel could both make Cameos pre-Awakening as temporary companions.

[Miri1984]

I'm dead certain Nate will make an appearance of some sort. I didn't dare to hope for Anders until recently....

LOL, sorry, I meant,  broody - Sebastian, dark - Fenris (the background - former slave, the shots I've seen, facial expression looks kinda grim to me).  Varric - strikes me as being a suave character, definitely not goofy.  My impression of Isabella is whip smart & a fun character, but  not a funny in a comic relief kind of way.  Anders strikes me as a little goofy & I like goofy characters 

Now bear in mind these are all first impressions, my first impressions.  I could be totally wrong once we get to know these characters better during game play.

[Dellingr]

Anders is cool and I'm guessing if he's a companion we'll be seeing parts of his character we didn't see in Awakening since the apostate angle is now covered by Hawke or Bethany



He seemed a bit retready of Alistair even in Awakening, personality wise, though no the whininess, so if he's in DA2 I'd love to see more than the snark

Only the prologue ( fleeing from Lothering until the arrivial in Kirkwall) is during the blight, once you are allowed to enter the city there is a one year time jump during which the blight is ended. The majority of the game takes place after the blight, so any appearance of former companions can only happen after they played their part in DA:O or DA:A.

In some previews hints that Anders is in Kirkwall are mentioned, but I would prefere if they are not true. Because if Anders is the unrevealed sixth companion the m/m romance has to be with either Varric or Fenris and I would rather have a human LI for that romance.
