This song also works rather well -- I've pulled it out for a few characters who aren't quiiiite at their own steering wheel.  ;) Glittering Clouds, by Imogen Heap.

eta: drat, top of page.... all right then: gratuitous screencap!  Cheer up, emo Anders... we'll settle this possession business somehow.

*peeks into the thread* A nice wallpaper and a crapload of nice music... what is it about Anders that attracts people with good taste?



I'd never heard Charon or Burn Halo before; I really like them. My thanks to the people who posted those songs. :)

All right, there were three that I've had on my iPod recently that, when I listened to them again, made me think of Anders's current predicament...

Out of the Blue by Julian Casablancas

And two that are good if you're working to try and help potentially un-abominate him (if that's possible)...

Get Higher by Paper Tongues

Worth Saving by Burn Halo


The first one is an...odd choice, musically. I like the second one and I love the last one!
I think we will be able to solve Anders' problem. Perhaps we will even be able to choose whether to save Anders or let Justice/Vengeance completely take over his body. Or maybe Anders will decide to sacrifice himself at a major turning point in the story. In any case, I'm pretty sure there's going to be an optional happy ending for him. Though, I don't know if I want it, to be honest... I like him dark and, well... in pain.

How could I forget Animal I Have Become? Great choice.

Here's a song that could fit him - 30 Seconds To Mars - Hurricane

Aww, sad Anders is sad.

Alistair: Okay, last one to say "Not it" gets possessed by a demon!
Everyone: NOT IT!
Anders: Not-- awwww drat.

Ok, maybe I just love this song, but it has extra funtime associations now:



Where is my mind?

 I think any decision I have to make regarding helping his with his status of Abomination will have to depend on what the poor boy himself wants.
Perhaps he is content with what he becomes, and finds being demon-possessed a fair trade-off for completing what he sees as his mission, and simply asks us to leave him as he is.
Maybe he doesn't care about the possession, as long as he can have his friend back instead of Vengeance, and asks us to find a way to purge the demonic corruption.
Maybe he cares so much that he's willing to sacrifice himself as penance for his crimes, and let J/V take over fully, and asks us to kill him or let him sacrifice himself in the name of his cause.
But you can bet that if he comes to my Hawke and pleads with her to help him, free him of the possession and let him have control back, himself back, you can bet that she'd stop at nothing to destroy every last remnant of J/V, both in the Fade and out, and Maker help you if you get in her way. :?

LOL we're gonna have some kind of giant fanmix after sometime.  I wish someone could keep a track of all this.

Here's my addition if I haven't already mentioned it already.

Also, here's a song that I felt fit DA2 in general.

I dunno... if Anders eventually decides he wants me to kill him, then... this is what's gonna happen:



Anders: Hawke, I've... got a big favor to ask you.

Hawke: Of course, Andy. Ask away.

Anders: I'm tired of being possessed... killing people... losing control. I want you to kill me. Right now.

Hawke: O_O Oh... er... what's that you said? Sorry, didn't hear you. And well, I actually have some errands to run. Maybe we could... talk about this. Later. Preferably MUCH later. Like in a year or two. Or seven.

Anders: But it's nearly midnight...What kind of errands?

Hawke: Oh, you know. Errandy errands.

*she then flees the room, despite the fact that she is in her underwear and wearing bunny slippers*



And I've actually got a nice little playlist going... Anders themed, of course.



I've got to do SOMETHING to occupy my time until March 8th. :D

Well, it's like what Ms. Helper said herself on this thread.  Sometimes to be the better "friend" we have to go against what they want, or not support their choices.

LOL, I love Stephen Lynch, very nice!

My current choice for a song for Anders is this one, until I've actually played, and have more info.  The fact that I love them is purely coincidental.  Behind Blue Eyes is still my favorite of those I've seen so far, though.


Hey, Teen, what song is that? The page is blocked in Australia, so I have no idea what you picked. :pinched:

Everyone else, I'm putting together a Grooveshark playlist for Anders with all the songs you're suggesting: I'll post a link when I'm done.

Thanks! The first one I liked mostly for the first and second verses ("somewhere along the way...") that went from hopeful to bitter to vengeance and then into madness. Obviously, the darkest of the three tunes.

EDIT: Spelling fail

My Hawke would excorcise him against his will if she had to. I can't imagine romancing him and watching him go into a downward spiral and not doing anything about it. As for what happens to Justice, that's secondary. He may hate her afterwards, but she'd still do it. Wow, that'd be hard. If you could save him, but he's so into that mindset at the end that he can't see it? Maybe eventually he'd come back to himself...

I thought of another horrible possibility.. What if the only way to save him is to force some tranquility-esque ritual to sever his connection to the Fade and Vengeance through it? :(

That would basically be the same as "Let him live as an abomination or kill him" choice, because Anders would almsot certainly prefer to be killed than be Tranquil.

Ack, sorry.  That was My Body is a Cage by Arcade Fire, I'd link other versions, but I don't know if they'd work for you.  I love the idea of a playlist, there's a lot of good choices for music to accompany an apostate mage possessed by a corrupted spirit of Justice!  Who knew?

Just watched Fight Club again the other night... totally didn't know the name of the song at the end! You just blew my mind a little.

And now I can't stop picturing that last scene like this: Anders -- having finally forced Vengeance/Tyler Durden out of his head -- holding hands with Lady Hawke as they watch the towers of the Chantry explode and collapse across the street from them.

LOL forever at that mental image.

Up to date playlist! I haven't listened to them all, so if you have a good listening order, PM it to me and I'll reorganise it based on suggestions.
There's a couple of songs missing that I couldn't find on the site, but otherwise: enjoy!

Someone definitely needs to get on it to compile the giant fanmix! LOL

Your first submission makes me want to add these to the mix as well, although they're more anti-establishment than Anders-related (although, that's going hand-in-hand now, isn't it?)

Dignity by New Politics

Riot by Three Days Grace (NSFW due to language)

Times They Are A-changin' by Bob Dylan

EDIT: And somebody stepped up to the plate while I was posting... good job!

Here's a good tune for like, the moment when he turns The calling
could also be a good tune for a Warden jumping into a group of darkspawn with limbs flying.

Edit: uhhh, darkspawn limbs flying of course

Butterflies and Hurricanes by Muse

Not sure how well they fit to anyone other than me. ^_^;;
