He's preparing for his own death on the friendship path, for example, giving out his pillow to Varric and basically saying goodbyes. And well, the whole "I'm gonna blow up the Chantry and then I'm going to die, too" is pretty suicidal, given he has planned the whole thing, planned to go out with a bang. He also mentions suicide to a few companions (Fenris was one, and then someone else) in a way that makes at least me think he's put quite a lot of thought into it before. It could be just suicidal ideation, but Anders doesn't leave it to just planning phase. Cue Chantry jenga. He really wants to die (according to Gaider in some post, at least) and the only reason he doesn't get his wish is because Hawke spares him. If Hawke spares him, that is.
But I don't think Anders wants to die to just die. He sees it as justice for what he's done. That's Hepler's opinion on the matter (and I believe she even says "thinks" he wants to die). That's why him giving Varric the pillow is (IMO) misdirection. Anyone who knows anything about the warning signs of suicide will see that and know, but he's not planning on offing myself, he's planning on doing something that will very likely result in his death and he's ok with that because his death will fulfill a purpose.
I have to agree with you. It seemed more like he was getting ready for his own Shepard-esque suicide mission, not commiting suicide. Big difference.
Oooh, ToP Anders. An all time favorite:
