I have to share how I fell in love with Anders, and my husband is sick of hearing about it :whistle:
I bought Dragon Age 2 on a whim at a discount store and it preceded to sit on my coffee table for months before I played it. I've now been playing it for the last month straight. I never played or heard of DA:O and didn't look online for any spoilers. I like to run through a game on my own first, then check around online for info.
When I met Anders in the clinic, I flirted with him immediately. A doctor who loves cats and has a sexy accent? Yes, please. But all he had to say was that he would "hurt" me and not to get involved so I stopped looking at him as a love interest. Enter broody elf with yet another sexy voice and tattoos who chuckles at my flirting, and I was all over it. I kept Anders with me most of the time because I liked his party banter, especially with Fenris, and healers are always handy. I found his incessant talk of the plight of the mages tedious and began to think of him as being pretty whiney.
As the game progressed and he became more active in the mage underground, I respected him a bit more. At least he was doing something to help out the cause he was always talking about.
After the quest where he tricked me into helping him gather stuff for something he wouldn't tell me about, I forgot all about it. I was more worried about my elf and all the other side quests. The Qunari fascinated me and I was upset at having to kill the Arishok (I thought we were friends! Lol :pinched:)
When the ending got close and Anders blew up the Chantry, I lost it :blink: I jumped off the couch and ran to where my husband was yelling, "HOLY F@$#, Anders blew up the f@$#ing Chantry! Just blew it up!", while laughing hysterically. My husband just asked what a Chantry was and I went back to my game.
When all my companions told me to kill Anders, including Anders, I became ridiculously attracted to him :wub: This poor guy. He had tried so hard to help the mages and in the end he came to realize that the only way to bring real change was this extreme measure. What I heard as whining before was really serious, passionate, and determined to bring about the end of the mages being locked up and used as, essentially, slaves.
So I didn't kill him, had him join me, and decided that my next play through, he would be my lover. I still couldn't bring myself to not romance Fenris, so I broke it off with Anders after our love scene, which was completely sweet and endearing. Previously,I had accidentally slept with Merrill while trying to be nice to her and when I broke out off with her, all I said was that it was a fling and she shouldn't read into it. Breaking it off with Anders, I told him he was bad in bed x.x I felt like the biggest jerk in the world. He was so hurt. I felt so guilty that I couldn't even finish that play through and started another one.
So now I've got Anders living with me and I feel good about it <3 I feel better leaving Fenris to be by himself since he left me anyway.
Just had to share my story with others who, for your own reasons, fell for Anders.

Hah, for me it was more like "Wait, what? Anders is returning for DA2 as a love interest? NO OTHER LOVE INTEREST  WILL HAVE ME". Even if he's not the same as he was in Awakening, I pushed through with the romance and I have to say, I regret nothing. As much as I dislike how extreme some of his views/actions are, he genuinely does want to help and still has his funny moments. Also his romance scenes are just askdafdsdf. I suggest getting Origins and the Awakening expansion that Anders appears in as soon as you're done with DA2. The main reason that I kept playing through Awakening since it didn't appeal to me as much as Origins was Anders. I won't give away what he was like in Awakening for you, but it serves as a real heartbreaker over how he is in DA2.

Yeah, in Dragon Age: Awakening, I accepted that Anders was what Alistair would have been if he had been a mage. Similar banter, same voice actor. Good enough. But then, you couldn't have him as a love interest. Then DA2 shows up. First act annoyed me SO much I nearly turned the game into the store. Then Anders joined the party and we went into the Deep Roads and wow, the game turned around and got interesting. Then Anders goes and blows up the Chantry. Of course, no one got hell bent when Isabella got the city destroyed by holding onto the damn book that belonged to the Kunari. She got the viscount and his son killed, but hey, that was for greed.

Anders is the echo of Isabella in the game and he does what he does out of extreme desperation. The things happening to the mages in Kirkwall were nightmarish at best. But everyone wants to kill Anders. Well, except Isabella and oddly enough, Merrill whom he sniped and snarled at all the time.

And despite some amusing cut scenes, I never got the DLC with Sebastion specifically because it tips the number of people against Anders into the negative. When it is 2 against 2 with one abstaining, the decision falls to you. With one more frothing mad, hypocritical dissenter, I had no interest at all in bothering. And its a bit of too bad since Sebastion sounds interesting...up until that point. But since all the cut scenes look like he's been shoe-horned in, or that he has NO sense of personal space....I skipped it.

I'll stick with Anders as the best, most tragic, love interest. And, oh, how I hope to hear he is out there fighting the good fight and helping the mages in this war (if you let him live). I want to see if he is atoning for the unexpected fall-out of his actions and managing to help save the mages...or Justice if he did die. Here's to hoping. *clinks glass*

Bouquet of kittens for Valentine's! <3
When I saw this, I immediately thought, I need to give this bouquet to Anders! Screw tradition, a gal can give a bouquet to a deserving guy! ^_^

*snip adorable picture*

I bet Anders would love it even more if those kittens were real. And if it came with a kiss from Hawke.


Speaking of kittens, don't you guys wish we had the option to give Anders a cat sometimes during Dragon Age 2? I would've loved to see the look on his face as my Hawke handed him the most adorable tabby as a present. ^_^

That would have been such an obvious thing to do, but they didn't. :(  Frankly, the mabari pet aspect already got boring in DA:O for me so a cat would've been a nice change.  Even a kitty who sneaks into the estate and lives there so when Anders is in there and you click it, there could be an adorable cutscene. :happy:  Better than the mabari scenes.  But I suppose I'm more of a cat person.  Tie-ins to characters and the past history make a story stronger, imho.

Yeah, I'm definitely a cat person. A few kitten cutscenes would've made me so happy. Merrill even mentions that there was a cat with a litter of kittens in Lowtown. Anders should've totally been able to keep a kitten. Bioware missed a great opportunity, TBH.

... Do you know if there is any Anders fanfiction with kittens in it?

I never tried looking before, but now I have!  Went to Archive of Our Own website and did a search for "Anders cat" and came up with this:

http://archiveofouro...All Media Types

Haven't read them yet but on quick glance there is even a fic where all of the companions (except Anders) have been turned into cats!!!!

Makes me wonder, if there is a cat model, could one mod the game so that you play as a cat. :D

Oh, I bet they were cute as kittens. ꒰ ˆ ॢ꒵ ॢˆ꒱♡ Anders must have loved that. :lol: I can imagine what they'd look like: Merrill would be a black cat with huge, green eyes, Varric would be a small tabby cat, Aveline would be big and orange, Fenris would be a grumpy, grey cat, and Isabela would be a fluffy, white cat.

If I could play as a cat, I'd totally be a rogue cat. Jumping around everywhere and scratching things is exactly what cats and rogues do!

Thanks for the link, I'll definitely read those right away!

There's one on that list that fits that description perfectly, right down to the title of the fanfic itself. :P

Given how attached he was to his pillow from his mother, a little stuffed kitten from Hawke would probably be equally as treasured.

Yeah, Fenris would make a good grumpy, grey cat.

I love Adam Howden. Image IPB I found some Anders fanart! Well, sort of... This counts as Anders fanart because Anders' face is on Adam's shirt.

Anyway I just found this artwork. This is how Anders would look like in real life and after events of Kirkwall (he should be in his 40's)

It just occured to me (well, after reading a fic alluding to it) that mages outside of the Circle need to have a way to train themselves.  Circle training would be comprehensive, I'd imagine.  Apostates on the run would probably encounter tomes and be able to improve their skills while on-the-run and in defending themselves.  Those in the Wilds could probably do a good amount of formal training in hiding and the Dalish could go about it openly.  Bethany would have had basic instruction from Malcolm.  But, being that she and her family was in hiding and that she's pretty young, I'd assume she would be pretty novice during the Blight.  Hiding in Lowtown, poor and beside a pissy Gamlen who probably hated mages for breaking up his family, I'd see little chance for her to progress, other than getting her hands on a few tomes.  Sure, she's out with Hawke (who might also be a mage), but I'd imagine training to be severely limited.  So, I was thinking that Anders may have had a large role in training her to be a competent mage.  That she'd perhaps sneak off to his clinic or during quiet times at a campfire, teach her all that he knew from his experience at the Circle.  His first real apprentice, perhaps.  What do you think?

Swooping is bad, but drooling ain't.

I think what this thread needs is some art. We need to appreciate this fine rebellious face. Is it against the rules if I post some pieces (with links back to the artist!) or can I just fire away?

Post away! Although this thread has gone rather silent in the last few months, we used to post pictures regularly... especially if you got top of the page (ToP).

Might stop by with another batch soon but these are my current favorites and they're relatively new -- might not have gotten a lot of circulation outside of tumblr yet. Enjoy!
