And, again, I do not understand why your happiness hinges on his fans being disappointed. It's so very petty.

Yes, it is. 
And I am not the moderator, but I was wondering what images get removed and what constitutes as spam.
Oh, would probably be my posts as well.

Stanley Woo has removed any links to scans of the Game Informer article, which is intellectual property infringement.

Either this thread will be the designated Anders thread, or another one will be created.  Fan art is not considered spam in those threads.

What the hell is the point of having anders as a companion again, other than nostalgia?

What the hell is the point of asking questions that could only be answered with spoilers?

Because he could be just like Oghren in Awakening, and serve absolutely no purpose.

He could also be nothing like Oghren in Awakening.

It is possible to describe every single companion in terms of fetish-fuel or trope-exploitation in that way, yes.  I'm not sure what it proves, though.

I'm not sure how they'll make it consistent with many fates Anders can receive during and after Awakening.

I distinctly remember him staying with/returning to Amaranthine Grey Wardens in one of epilogues and leaving with a familiar pirate woman in another. The fact that him leaving is specifically mentioned in one epilogue suggests he didn't leave in the other. Meaning he's only free to roam Kirkwall until Awakening storyline starts.

BUT DOES HE HAVE SER POUNCE-A-LOT?

I support this question.

Cats, if kept in perfect health, can live up to 20 years or so ( my cat is going on 16) so its puuuuurfectly acceptable to have Ser Pounce-a-lot still alive after all the time jumps without blood magic

[Risax]

Do we meet Anders before or after the events of Awakening?

I mean, there is a certain Epilogue path where he goes with a 'familiar pirate lady' so that would explain how he ended up in Kirkwall.

Also couldn't Anders died in Awakening?

It doesn't matter. The writers mentioned several times that if they wanted to bring someone back, they would, dead or not in your ending version. 

How do you explain how a dead Mage suddenly came back alive?  It was the Lazarus Project wasn't it.

Then you've already answered your own question. You don't have to like Anders, but I see no reason to act so bitter.

A wizard did it.

While I agree with your argument in theory, I would  just like to say that as far as points go,   titillation trumps nostalgia many times over.

Well, they did say they oculd ignore the epilogue slides if they did want to bring someone back, since there were so many possibilities so none can be cannon.

So, the Bioware devs are actually wizards, and they did it!

I'm okay with them having a canon. It's either that or we never see characters we really want to see again. To me, this opens the door to the original companions returning in a meaningful way in a future game, and there's nothing I'd like more.

Incroyable!  Truly?  Awesome if it is.   Here is to you Mr. Romantic, Idealistic and humorous fellow.  Ser Pounce a lot was in my pack at the end of the game, so, I am hoping he still has him!

Bring on the game already, lol.  

If he does have him I hope we get to actually see him interracting with the kitty. I'm hopeful because we've seen how greatly prop use has improved in DA2. I'd like to see Anders actually petting the cat or carrying him at some point, stuff like that.

I was just riffing on the previous post I emulated... boiling a character down to a simplistic concept in an attempt to dismiss them.

In other words, ridiculing the "why Anders - only nostalgia" post.

...

Just because I MEAN the statement as well doesn't make the jab any less effective.

And yes, I understand it was snarky.  I'm as guilty as anyone sometimes.

Me, I'm still having trouble seeing how they're going to Reconcile the timeline and the possibility that Anders had to "forget" about 20 levels of experience or possibly more.

Just like Shepard, Garrus and Tali can "forget" some of their skills between ME and ME2, I imagine. Game mechanics don't always hold up to scrutiny.

Also, Oghren did have a purpose, and it was to prove that "saving" someone who doesn't want to be saved isn't as easy as throwing alcohol at him and saying the right things. Or at least that's what I've taken away from his characterization in Awakening.

And Anders, being a Circle mage who is fairly passionate about the treatment of mages by the Chantry but who is also aware of the inherent disaster that would come from completely breaking away, definitely has a hook in the story of DA2.

"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." from the epilogue
