Don't really like anders, or anyone else in awakening really. Don't know why they have brought him back, or the obsession with him. Much prefer the characters in origins. I was really looking forward to the sequel, and i still have it pre-ordered but I fear I'm not going to enjoy it as much as I thought I was going to.

You probably have the option of never meeting him, like Fenris and Isabela.

With six companions total being listed in Cassandra's book and some characters supposedly not being available for selection every now and then that'd be cutting it pretty close to situation where the player doesn't have full group.

I dont know why, but i just find all the characters at the moment a little poor effort and unintresting. Im hoping to be proved wrong and that ill get into it as much as DAO but at the moment i feel skeptical.

Haha... believe me, if Anders is not romanceable, I'll be about as disappointed as you are... One of us will undoubtedly be greatly disappointed. :crying:

Most definitely. Don't get me wrong, I'll still bring him along everywhere regardless of whether or not he's an LI, but it will feel like such a missed opportunity. And if Anders isn't an LI, then I have to pin all of my hopes back onto the long shot: Sebastian. :?


While I am happy with Isabela and would be happy with Varric, I'll be genuinely bummed if Anders isn't a LI. I've been starry-eyed over him since his character trailer in Awakening and this whole Justice/Vengeance thing hits me where I hurt and love.

That being said, I am so excited by the possibilities presented by DA2. Most of all, despite being a David Gaider fangirl,  I am most excited about Jennifer writing Anders.  I loved the DC origin and the non combat parts of Orzammar/Deep Roads are my favorite part of DAO, so my expectations for his character and his role in the game are pretty high. His not being a love interest wouldn't diminish that at all.

You have at least three that you have to meet. Varric seeks you out and you meet sibling and Aveline while escaping.

Yes, but the sibling isn't listed in the companion roster which makes one wonder just for how long they're available as companion vs turning into a redshirt/plot point. Plus the issue of not all companions being available at all times, which potentially reduces these three to smaller number.

(edited because on second thought the sibling is actually listed, now that i think of it? Can't remember)

Not sure, they could be permanent. That would bring you under the Morrigan/Alistair/Oghren bar. Even if you have to meet Wynne and Zevran, but you have to actively recruit them.

*shrugs* We'll see I guess. I think that most will be met at year one, when you have to raise money to pay your debts to mercenaries (As Varric says in the transition around 3 minutes in here).

Hmmm, I hope we get an option to let Vengeance take full control over him and turn into him into an abomination.



No offense Anders, but I found Justice cooler than you.

So, Jennifer Hepler is Anders' adopted mother? I'm curious to see how this will turn out... Though I'm an awful critic, see my signature banner XD I will accept Anders no matter what they will do to him just because he's my favourite apostate ever :)

If Origins is anything to go by, Jennifer Hepler has a knack for writing intricate and creepy plots with no clear right or wrong (Orzammar, Dwarf Commoner) I look forward to seeing her characters in DA2 (Anders and Sebastian), as well as the narratives she's woven.

Any news on Ser Pounce-a-lot in DA2?

I luve cats *meow*.

Never played DA:A but read a bit of Anders. Hmm, just like Conner / Desire Demon; Anders allowed Justice in so he's not outwardly corrupted.

Do you think a mage Hawke can get Justice transferred into himself / herself?

I hadn't considered that. It seems unlikely though, if possible. I think some kind of purification ritual is probably more likely. Either to return Vengeance to his previous state or to enter the Fade via Anders and fight him directly (ala Connor).

I was excited when I saw his name at the companion list and I really hope he is romanceable! (That could make up that he was nonromanceable at DA:O-A but I think that BioWare kinda reserved him for DA2)



I am even more thrilled that we are meeting a darker side him.. I like that :)

As most other people have already said, I also would love Anders to be an LI. Maybe I'm weird, but the whole Justice/Vengeance thing just makes it even more interesting and appealing. If not, then Sebastian (as unlikely as that is), or even better - both of them!



I was thinking, I wonder if Anders will have some interesting party banter with Fenris. I remember a conversation with Anders in Awakening, where he says that the Tevinter Imperium has a better system when it comes to mages. If he still feels that way in DA2, I can't see him and Fenris becoming besties anytime soon.



I feel the urge to replay Awakening and drag Anders and Justice around with me, listening to their conversations and looking for all the foreshadowing.

Interesting.  While I wouldn't have minded if the same old Anders from Awakening made his return, this new posessed Anders would probably have more of a story.  I'm eager to see how everything unfolds with Anders/Justice.  This gives new meaning to "spirit healer".

I remember Justice asking Anders about the circle, but I wouldn't have imagined that the two would "join forces" like this.

 Why anybody would want Anders back, I don't know. Still, Justice is in the game so he might be able to compensate.

Can not wait to play!!! Come on March. I don't know how I feel about this new Anders, but will find out soon........ All the DA games are great and the story line is the most interesting of any game I have played. Congrats Bioware and thanks for keeping the story going. Medieval is my fave

Anders is definitely still recognizable as snarky ol' Anders on most subjects. He/Justice just have one enormous blind spot. And the bigger that issue gets in the world, the harder it is for Anders to focus on anything else...

Did you write them in Awakening too? Some sdaid David wrote them.

And will it be the same voice actor? It sure sounds like Anders in the trailer.
