He was my love interest and I killed him without hesitation. Managed to keep everyone else in my group and regained Bethany to replace Anders.

[SWAvdb]

 I killed him. Didn't take me long to decide that. But ... 

What I totally hated though, was the way Hawke kills him. A dagger in the back? Are you serious? A dagger in the back, as if I'm some low life thug? Bah. I should've at least had the option to behead him. This really messed up the entire scene for me. Letting him live was not an option for me, but killing him in this manner was almost as bad. 

[LobselVith8]

You think cutting his head off would have been better than a knife in the back? I wonder why the people upset with Anders aren't as upset about the slavery of mages that had been going on for the past thousand years that drove Anders to want to see his people emancipated. His reason for what he did goes hand in hand with the fact that his people are slaves, and he wants to change that. Considering the Circles break free as a result of his actions...

I was like FUUUUUUCK YEAH when he blew up the chantry (yes I know it was not correct but this is a game and I was really tired of the chantry and templars all together) and of course sided with the mages. Orsino rallies the mages, and I was off to some good ol' whack the templar action.

Then Orsino out of the blue turns himself into a fat monster and attacks us. This really makes no sense, and I feel this was a bad decision on Biowares part. I felt pretty stupid though after this, templars after me and mage leader along with mages dead by his own hand, also spawning some neat abominations to stir things up even more

Did you understand who he was referring to when he was talking about his compatriot Quentin that gave him the research to do so? Do try to remember that he was surrounded by a city full of templars, which Bioware tries to emphasize by making it a big deal when the templars let Hawke leave rather than attacking.

[AngelicMachinery]

I stabbed the bastard, mostly because I wasn't ready for a war with starkhaven, than I realized LOL I'm on a boat.

[Hardin4188]

I killed him, I never liked him even in awakening but that really crossed the line. I couldn't believe he did that. It was a personal betrayal as well because I had pretty much sided with the mages up until then. After that I went with the templars and knew there was no going back.

[fallen_valkyrie]

he was my healer couldn't kill him...no way i'm going do the last part of the game without a healer (nightmare)

[R-F]

Nope, he was my healer. And getting to the Gallows is a pain in the royal ass. Plus I was a mage so I sided with him. I'm undecided if I'm going to be able to ever kill him I really hate the Chantry. Given the option I'm sure I would have blown it up too.

Anders was the highlight of Awakening for me, so killing him, if I can muster the strength will be tough.

Killing Anders was a no-brainer, but his opinions on Chantry policy were...troubling. The evils of the world (blights, blood mages, etc.) are all placed at the feet of mages by the Chantry. What if the Chantry, like Varric, is an unreliable narrator of prior events? The world of Dragon Age reminds me of the political pendulum swing from one extreme (mage rule) to another (Chantry rule) with all the races caught in the middle. 

[wildannie]

I killed him, he was too twisted and lost, it was sad that it came to that but he had to go.

[Vukodlak]

I executed Anders, His intention was to eliminate the only chance of compermise. Meredith has gone quite mad at that point, but it was the chantry's destruction that pushed her over the edge, if only because it eliminated the one person in Kirkwall the knight commander had to answer to. All the deaths that followed are on his head.

But in the end Anders was right, not morally, not ethically but by destorying the Chantry he got exactly what he wanted, revolution, in every Circle in Thedas.

Whats funny is the Maker created the darkspawn, yet the Chantry tale some how makes it the mages fault. I'd love it if we had the option in game to ask a the grand cleric. "Why did the Maker punish all man kind with the blights for the crimes of a handful of mages"

But then maybe the whole chant of light is a fraud and Andraste made the whole thing up to help unite the people against Trivinter.

Vukodlak their response would be simple. It is a test for man to face.

Played as a mage Hawke, who was sympathetic to the mage cause, but seeing all these apostates and maleficarum running around the city made them have some doubts. They were even friends with Anders, in spite of him being more than a bit loony...then he goes and blows up the one person in the city who isn't insane or trying to start a war. Needless to say, I killed the ever living **** out of him, and jumped on the "Kill'em All" train.

The only thing I hated about the decision would be that Anders is happy to die...seeing himself as a martyr to the mage cause. As has been said before, all he did was prove that the Templars were right about mages, though practically every mage you meet in the game could be used to back that argument up. If he accomplished anything, it was making every mage in Thedas look like a villain.

Perhaps there is some consolidation with it being Hawke that everyone cares about, and not Anders...though unless all the mages in Thedas are against Hawke and have set him up as someone even worse than Meredith, I fail to see how Hawke caused the revolt.

I'm honestly surprised...I've actually found a character I dislike even more than Alistair.

[Ninja Mage]

You all are awful. Anders is a loving and troubled man. You don't kill a rabid kitten, you take it to the vet. Anders will stay with me and live in every playthrough

[Ninja Mage]

Hell Anders could have blown up an orphanage and I still wouldn't have killed him HMPH

[Pileyourbodies]

Uh Ninja...You do kill rabid animals its actually on the law books in a lot of places that rabid animals must be put down.

Yeah...I went the Old Yeller route.

[JedTed]

I was really tempted to kill him but i couldn't do it. Also i didn't wanna ****** off Merrill.

[Well]

He was toast.I don't use him except to do the quest for maps and to take my sibling to the Grey Wardens.

[MistressMagee]

The bleeding of Justice into Anders was well done, you can see in his companion banter the two sides of his personality, and how depressed he was throughout act 3, he was a tragic character. I felt for him, and I understood the message he was sending.

He also accepted his fate, he did not deny or shy away from the consequences of his actions. While Justice would have raged on, Anders felt compelled to die in the end. Many revolutions start in blood, and the religion was start of the hate. Plus you really couldn't blow up the circle (where the templars hang out), it would send a mixed and confusing message.

Either way, I loved this character. I would have liked a conversation about blood magic at some point though, a confrontation with Justice/Vengeance. I love it when there is tension in a relationship.

Also, no one respects freedom more than those who fight for it. All those mages who trully wish a just world will take care of their own and take out those mages who would sully their cause for equality. No one hates a fanatic more than a beliver. This is why Anders looked to (mage) Hawke to represent everything he couldn't.

The thing is as people are saying is there were better targets but Anders wanted to blow up the Chantry because it would have a large bodycount of innocent civilians to make his point with. He murdered people to make a point.

[Arokel]

I know he deserves to die for what he did but... I just couldn't do it. In DAA he was my favorite character. In DAII he was my best friend and fellow rebel mage.

On top of that I needed a healer.

I let him go because he was a good friend but my hawke berated him and told him he is pretty much nothing more than a murderer.

however if met again in a DLC, I probably will kill him.

My female rogue romanced Anders, but his actions felt like a betrayal (even though I played her as being sympathetic towards the mages' cause). I ended up killing him even though he and Hawke were lovers. I must say that it felt like something was missing in the dialogue with him in Act 3... I felt there was no reaction from Hawke about Anders' increasing paranoia/moodiness even though they were living together. Wouldn't you confront someone you loved if they were emotionally withdrawing from you (unless Hawke was either in denial or love-blind)? It also felt wrong that when I told him he had to die there was no indication that they had been in love... It was just "you must pay for what you've done". I imagined Hawke as saying something like "you told me you would break my heart but I never expected this", or "I loved you but the spirit inside you has twisted you into a monster". Also, my companions have nothing to say about me killing the man I love? Not even Aveline?! Yeah, I read way too much into things... It's pathetic I know.
