I am going to make a lot of fangirls mad at me by steering the discussion AWAY from sex and romance.
Now. Maybe this was discussed earlier on here, but I haven't been around, so I don't know. But, the DAge wiki I consult lists a new voice for Anders. On his Facebook page, Greg Ellis said, more or less, "Yes, I'm back" when a fan asked. So WHAT IS GOING ON!? Who is Anders going to sound like?!?!
No talking about sex and romance? Does... not... compute.
I don't claim to know anything about Greg Ellis or voice acting, but I honestly suspect that he just didn't know what's going on when he confirmed his return as Anders. He's indicated that he doesn't play the games, and I think VAs are generally just given their own lines to read, with maybe a lead-in line if needed. If it's something he was just doing for a paycheck, then it's highly possible he got confused about exactly what lines he was reading and as which character.
There's a possibility he'll make an appearance as Cullen, so he could very well have gotten the 2 mixed up. They're different characters, but both very connected to the mage/templar plot and possibly easy for a non-fan to mix up. He very well could have thought "Oh, I read some lines about magic and stuff, I guess I'm that guy again."
There's also the theory that he did record lines for Anders but the devs decided it wasn't right and found someone different. I personally think that's less likely, just because it'd be expensive to re-record an entire character's dialogue.
