At the beginning I think he was still in denial about what has happened, that he can still try and save it. By the end of the game he comes to realize that he is what he hates most, and it tears him up to no end. If you are referring to the Chantry thing, he even states he didn't tell you because 1) you would try to stop him or 2) you would want to help and he didn't want the blood on your hands.
That sounds more like a friend trying to protect you from their short comings. But that is my take on it, how I feel. Everyone has their opinions on the matter, no one is going to change theirs so there is no point in fighting over it. You just look like an ass for trying to "win".
I agree with the character development. It really fell flat, considering the game spand seven years! Most the characters barely had one side to them I.E. Fenris.
The fact that he lied to me, is a betrayal to me. I believe one of the worsts things someone can do is lying to you about something that important. By the end of the game most of your followers see you as their leader. To so blantly lie to you leader in an attempt to undermind his plans his the very essence of betrayal. No, matter his intentions the shedding of innocent blood, and the betrayal of a friends trust makes all actions null and void of meaning.
This is your personal opinion, which is great, and fine, but not necessarily how eveyone else sees it. I personally see it as an attempt by Anders to keep Hawke out of it, for whatever reason. Either because he loves/is friends with Hawke, or because he hates and doesn't trust Hawke. In the first case, it's misguided, but well intentioned, and my Hawke will forgive him for it (since she's a mage and believes in the cause, or is his friend and believes he can be redeemed or make up for it somehow) in the second case, my Hawke would kill him for it, or make sure he sees Justice in some other form (if I ever rivaled him, which I know I will eventually).
Isabela betrays you and lies to you all through Act I and Act II as well. Do you have the same reaction to her as you do to Anders?
