In my current game, I've done all the main quests up to Last Straw. I've just begun to work on the secondary quests and companion quests. So, after verifying that Aveline isn't coddling her Donnic, I'm supposed to talk to Cullen in the Gallows, and upon zoning in, bam! Meredith and Orsino are fighting and then Anders blows up the Chantry. I haven't even helped him gather the materials, let alone distracting the Grand Cleric for him to set things up. And now I find myself in the last phase of Act 3, with a bunch of quests removed, and a chantry blown to pieces by sheer psychic power alone.

Has anyone experenced this?

Yeah this actually happened to me earlier. I reloaded a save from before I agreed to help Anders, just to see what would happen if I refused to help him, or just didn't do the quest.

I think once you go into the Gallows to talk to Cullen, the last part of Act 3 triggers and all your quests get wiped out, except for the final quest for the main plot. Anders blew up the chantry regardless of whether my Hawke helped him or not. Guess he figured out some way to do it on his own? o.O The game ends the same way regardless of what you do =/

[TheBlackBaron]

He does that.

Presumably he manned the **** up and got his dragon rocks and "sewage" crystals on his own.

Did you accept the letter for the last quest? Then you can't go to the gallows anymore without triggering the end.
But yes, Anders can blow up the chantry all by himself. But i guess he really had to work for it.

I can see him now, wandering through the sewers teary-eyed crying about how nobody loves him enough.

I sent him away after he almost killed the mage in the Ser Alrik quest. The awkward glance between Hawke and Anders on one of the times you go talk to Varric makes sense if you do this. It's also incredibly easy to kill Anders when he hasn't been tagging along the entire game and you had no part in his scheme

Yeah, I accepted the quest Last Straw.

I'll just have to load the last save and avoid the Gallows, and hope no other quest requires my presence there.

Dunno, after that line about him longing for Hawke for three years (glad I didn't pursue anything with him) I could see him stumbling around down there while composing terrible poetry about love in a time of mage anarchism. 

In my games, if he's crying, it'll be because Hawke punched him in the throat for all the **** he and Fenris give Merrill. :innocent:

Anyone played through after sending Anders away in Act 2? I heard he still blows up the Chantry even then.

[Darkshore]

It seems to be a major part of the story so it will happen regardless. Though since I helped him do it the initial shock had even more of an impact.

Yeah, he does.

it is inline with the general theme of the game. your choices mean nothing.

[RazorrX]

Yep I never liked Anders, so did not do his act 3 stuff at all, and he blew the chantry up.

Considering that Oghren had a baby with Felsi in the span of six months, and Anders apparently meets Hawke in Kirkwall and the Hero of Ferelden in Amaranthine precisely one year after the end of the Blight, I'm not surprised. Clearly, anything is possible in the DA universe with psychic power. Babies, being in two places at once, and now blowing up the Chantry.

I see it positivly. Finally someone gets something done without you! Ok, it is something pretty bad. But i think it is a nice touch.

same with Grace, no matter what you do the results are the same, it feels awfully wrong, and you KNOW there should have been a different approach or method to do things, heck in the cave with the blood mages we should just have the choice to kill them all or to kill everyone except the one who is sent to the entrance back, the forced route with lacking choices proves it the best how much content got cut and the game got rushed

heck at the very ending it also feels like you should have had a more peaceful solution with Hawke siding with Thrask and in the end getting control of Kirkwall

"rise to power, by any means necessary" my ass, you just float along the events with no power to do anything or influence anything meaningful, the very fact Bioware uses this sentence for commercial proves that a full storyline/ending was cut from DA2

Bioware seems to have decided its too troublesome to bother with making alternate outcomes and drasticly dumb down/"simplify" what is more than just a shame, the game just feels too hollow
