Accroding to the short story written by the Dev team... well...

Anders: "And then his sword is level with my chest, and I let it come, because it is only steel and cannot hurt me, for I am not of mortal men. And when it sinks hilt-deep in my flesh with no reaction, that's when he gives up."

So.. a sword through the chest compared to a dagger in the back. If Anders survives this, does that mean if you kill him in during The Last Straw, he survives that too? Is he just playing dead? Or is he not immortal?

I'd *really* love a dev post here.

No, he's quite dead. We could have gone to more elaborate lengths to show you... ensuring... that he was dead, but I think it got the point across.

I mean, sure, I guess if we wanted to we could come up with some elaborate explanation as to how he survived anyhow... but that's true with anyone. In this case, particularly since Anders was fully willing to die, I don't think having him live after all that would be very cool.

What? Having characters live far after they want to is the point of tragic characters life playing Bioware games everything.

Then don't kill him. He'll still be alive, even though he wanted to die. Problem solved.

With all due respect, Mr. Gaider, with the sheer amount of hand waving and retconning the company did in Dragon Age 2, it's perfectly valid to question whether or not a character that was killed off will actually stay dead, whether through design or via a bug.

I'm not sure about the "sheer amount" part, as even a little seems to be too much for some, but certainly it's valid to question. Whether or not we'll answer is a different matter-- as I said, we'll do whatever we feel is necessary even if that includes coming up with an explanation to bring a character back from the dead (as it were). Certainly some folks don't like that one bit, but then again some folks don't like anything.
