I'm really liking the new and improved Anders. Like I said, I love a hero who is profoundly dedicated to something or other, and I love the authority Ellis has in his voice.

Yes, thank you for video! His movements seemed a bit weird though.... hm.



@Miri Haha, I know! At least Neria didn't have strong feelings of anger. I liked your Justice too much. I'm hoping in DA2 we can save him! But, I don't think they would have made that impossible to do. So I'm assuming there must be a way.

In that video it sounds like Anders' voice actor is overlaid with Justice's. Interesting.

That's an interesting find. The more I see, the better Anders returning looks.

Yeah, I was about to comment on that.  It didn't sound like Anders.  His eyes flashed right beforehand and that was very "Justice-y" sounding dialogue... maybe his actual voice changes when he's being more strongly affected by the Spirit?

But in response to the video:  SSSQQQUUEEEEEEE!!! :wub:

EDIT:  Ahhhh, I'm so excited I can't stand it!  Does anyone want to hop in my time machine with me and jump to March 8th?

I don't really want to save Anders except insofar as I don't want him to lose his mind. I'm hoping he and Justice can reach some kind of equilibrium. From the bits I've seen of each version, I much prefer him as he seems to be in DA2.

Ooh, I think I like Anders new look. I figured that he would look a lot less like somebody got happy with the Alistair slider on his headmorph this time around, glad to see I was right. Not that I didn't like his face before, but making him different will help diffuse the "Alistair Clone" comments.



(now to watch that video several dozen more times)

Anders vid? Hot damn!

*rewatches video about fifty thousand times*



I like the slight redesign to his face. Still Anders-y, less Alistair-y. Though I'll be honest, I like his outfit with the dark colour scheme from the concept art over the kinda beige one here. Still, his outfit is kickin'.

I love his new look. The voice mixed with Justice's sounds eerie, very cool. But not liking that they've seem to take a step back when it comes to graphics. And is it just me, or does the characters look a little, I don't know, off?

Some people have said the video on IGNs site looks better.
But it might be on a PC on low settings.

I agree.  I can't really put my finger on what it is.  I thought it was his movement, seems a little... I don't know, weird?

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...



The last part of this and the way it's written makes me wonder if it's a hint that he won't be a LI.

EDIT:

I also think this is a console version.  This video isn't up on the PC section of IGN.

I'm going to be so upset if he isn't.... why would they be so cruel as to give us Varric as a LI though?  Hawke is stuck as a human, and I don't know about others, but my f!Hawke doesn't have much of an interest in dwarfs.  Plus, a dwarf and a guy who hates being touched?  That's just beyond cruel.  Not like I'm complaining about Fen though!

If he's not a LI and Sebastian isn't an LI, I'll play it once and that will be that.  I have no interest at all in Varrick or Fenris.  It would truly suck to give us Anders back and not make him an LI.  I've played Origins 16 times because I adore Alistair.  Varrick and Fenris would not capture that much attention from me in the slightest.

With all due respect to Ms Hepler and her super writing prowess , this might sound a tad loopy but I am afraid I am going to miss David Gaider's influence in/on Anders......really miss it......:crying:


Just bear with me while I wahhhhhh myself into a media blackout phase....

 Simply put, they're not going to try and account for every single possible outcome of Awakening. I believe one review mentioned that his lines do vary according to what actions your Warden took, but I really doubt they recorded a dozen different lines to explain how he got there.If you played like the majority of people and kept both characters around until the final battle, you're probably clear. If you want to think of scenarios where they never met then feel free, but I wouldn't depend on DA2 catering to that particular outcome. The important thing is that the story needs to progress, and the writer's job is to make that happen; if it means stepping on a few players' metaphorical toes, then so be it. ;)

Okay, but is there anything official? Your doubts aren't unreasonable... but they're not exactly definitive, either. If the only word thusfar is that his lines vary depending on what actions your Warden took, then that's what I imagine is the case.

I mean, there really aren't that many variations to keep track of, here.

1) Anders is a Warden / Justice stuck around
2) Anders is a Warden / Justice didn't stick around
3) Anders isn't a Warden / Justice stuck around
4) Anders isn't a Warden / Justice didn't stick around

And I don't even remember for sure if you can avoid taking Justice as a companion, so there may be even less....

As for "outcomes", well, I don't mind overmuch if they contradict the epilogue slides, because they've been doing that (to an extent) since they started making post-Origins content.

FASCINATING! A semi-righteous, recently schizophrenic, conflicted, vigilante type, chantry-hating mage whose story continues. NOW my enthusiasm is on the rise again! I love it!

Yeah I guess I"m just looking on the bleak side to avoid disappointment lol. But it does sound from that like it's a definite possibility that he's too caught up in his own problems to be a LI. But I do hope I'm wrong.

Hepler is great. I have every confidence she will deliver the goods. And there's no way he's not an LI. The combine wrath of the fans would shake the world.
