My Hawke spared him. She was definitely angry with him, but she agreed with his cause (if not his methods), and felt he could begin to atone by helping her prevent the slaughter of an entire Circle of mages - her sister included.

Later? Lots of shouting and anger, but acknowledgement that it's too late to change anything and that if there's going to be war, they'll need as many people on their side as possible. Puttin' the cause first and all that jazz.

I didn't. Killing someone never sets things right. However, in light of his horrible actions, I exiled him ( I would prefer imprisoning him, but there was no such choice!)

[Apathy1989]

I didn't kill him cause he was my healer. Really wanted to, and have on subsequent playthroughs though. Wish I got the option to kill him after the battle.

My mageHawke didn't kill him. After years of loving Anders and listening to his ideas she was almost as extreme in her views as Anders and was more angry that he didn't trust her to tell her his plans.

My rogueHawke also didn't kill him and while his feelings for Anders played a large role in the decision, his reasoning was more that Anders helping him to deal with the aftermath (both immediate and longterm) would serve as a far better atonement than his death would.

My Hawke romanced Anders and killed him anyway. Although she felt terrible betrayed by him, that was not the (only) reason why she killed him. First of all she thought that there should be a punishment for what he did. Any other option would have been welcome, like handing Anders over to the templars, but since this wasn't possible she went with the knife-in-his-back-solution. Secondly it became clear at this point that Anders was too far gone. He became something else entirely and Hawke didn't see any way to help him. So she put him out of his misery.

I killed him, because Justice and Anders were my favorite parts of Awakening. I saw Anders as a genuinely good person who, if he was still in control, would hate what he had become.
Justice was the first video game character that changed my perspective on the crapsack world of Thedas.
I believe that Anders surrendered to his fate willingly because what was left of the easygoing and kind mage desperately wanted his nightmare to end, constantly being compelled to stir the pot and cause so much suffering.
I don't believe I killed Anders, but I do believe that I killed Vengeance and did one final favor to Anders, and giving Justice what he had always wanted: Justice.

I let him live. Hawke figured he could at least help protect the mages that were going to get killed by Templars because of his actions.

[Master Shiori]

I killed him. Then and on every subsequent playthrough.

After he blew up the Chantry full of innocent people, it was completely out of the question to let him go. If I had my way I'd hand him over to Aveline and the city guard. But since that wasn't in the cards I choose to have him executed on the spot.

I liked Anders as he was in Awakening, but in DA2 he was a complete fanatic. He keeps having issues with anyone who doesn't agree with his views or methods, which includes practically all the companions except Varric. You can't reason with him or try to have him see the other side of the story; that there are mages who cannot handle their power responsibly and need to be either locked up or killed/made tranquil.
It actually funny how much he and Meredith are alike. Like opposite sides of the same coin.

Still, my Hawke could tolerate all his fits until his actions started bringing harm to innocent people, at which point enough was enough.

Some people take games to seriously ;p

My first playthrough I saved him, after a 15 minute smoke break to think ;p I think it was sebs face that pushed me to spare him, even though I was romancing Anders at the time. His angry troll face in that last scene ruined the character completely for me, so personally I was like "**** you seb, he lives." My Hawke kept him because she loved him, and couldn't kill him dispite being OVER THE TOP pissed off that he'd blindsided her. And he had, because neither of us knew what the void was going on .

I've only murderknifed him one time. My Pro-Templar warrior who slapped him (or at least in my head) when he tried to force himself on her. "Don't do that again. There's NOTHING between us, Anders". She Rivaled him, because she believed that weak mages belonged in the circle. She only knew two strong mages (one of who went to the circle, poor beth) who could handle being alive and free and mages (beth/dad). All the rest of them were crazy, weak willed, or stupid. Thus, she Friend-manced Fenris and Rivaled Merrill ;p

Other then that one play through, I either keep him (pro-mage character), or I send him away and kill him when he sides with the mages against me (pro-templar). I dislike the idea of knifing him in the back. I Anders as a character, and it's a disservice to murderknife him in the back. I should be able to stab him in the heart, face to face, if I'm going to murderknife him ;p

My pro-mage warrior let him live.

My pro-templar self-hating mage gleefully shanked him.

'Princess stabbity, stab, kill kill'

I did spare him one time, but he showed up later anyway. It didn't go so well for him.

On the first playthrough, Anders met Hawke's murderknife. By that point, she thought it kindest and safest for all involved - Anders, Justice, and Thedas - if he died.

I'm sorry. Kettle, have you met pot?

Hawke is doing a lot of killing in the game. It makes it hard to take the moral high road about the number of people Anders killed, I would think, and their relative innocence.

[Wulfram]

Killed him. If Hawke was going to be forced to fight the Templars, then she wasn't going to allow the cause to be tainted by his atrocity. Plus more emotional reasons about betrayal and justice.

[ramenbito]

My Hawke didn't kill him but I really wanted to beat him up, my Hawke was a mage and was promage all over the game but she left Anders alive because one Anders would have to live with the guilt two she gave him a chance to redeem himself by saving the Circle. Well that didn't go exactly as planned but go figure. And no my mage was not romancing him, it was just well he saved her brother they have been friends for 6 years.

[Icy Magebane]

I killed him because he was a terrorist who attacked non-combatants. I was playing as a mage, but didn't feel that forcing "mage freedom" was worth those people's lives.

[Beerfish]

I killed him but was not satisfied with having to do it right then and there. I agree with the poster on here who a while back wanted to have a conversation like this included in the game.

"Oh by the way Anders, did you know that there was a section of the Chantry devoted to rescuing stray animals? Yes there was I think 100 cats in there, pity."

[Elessie]

Brought him along to help defend the mages.

I didn't feel betrayed or anything like some people felt. My first Hawke was crazy in love, and a pro-mage apostate, so she didn't question him about the 'potion' at all. He kept the truth from her to protect her, because he didn't want her to have those deaths on her conscience, and she could understand that.

I was shocked, but I wasn't actually angry when the boom happened. I didn't feel angry until they started to clear a path to the Docks, and Anders said something about how he hadn't expected the destruction to be so bad... Then I wished Hawke could slap him. Still no knives though.

[MG800]

Naah. Felt a bit pisssed about dragging me into this though. My first Hawke was a little inconsistent - but he was pro-mage and considered Anders a friend. He was practical, and the only way he could kill him, would be out of blind rage. 

 I like to imagine the havoc he created after this mess was over. A lot of flying objects involved. He would dwell on it, but Anders already convinced him, when he said "We were already doomed. i'd rather die fighting" - but it's not like he would ever admit it. Damm, he was a bit Carver-ish.

[TheAwesomologist]

My first play through I was dumbstruck at the moment of the Chantry blowing up because I thought I would get a chance to stop it. At first I reloaded to a prior save to see if skipping Ander's quest would do anything. It didn't. So then I went back to that point and I let him go only to lose Sebastian (thanks for finally growing a pair) and have Anders reappear later where I didn't get the option to say "You're a grade A a-hole, get out of my party."

So I reloaded again and knifed the character that nearly ruined the game for me and finished it. I've done that 3 more times and likely every time.

[Sarcastic Tasha]

Let him live first time. Partly because of Merrill's suggestion that he should help clean up the mess he made. My other reason was that I didn't really think it was Hawke's place to choose what happens to him, if Sebastian wanted to kill him he should have done it himself. I do think Hawke should have killed Sebastian though when he threatened to come back with his army, but there was no option to. Anders should have to see what he's done to the world, how much death and suffering he's caused, maybe he'll realise he wasn't justified after all.

Killed him in my second playthrough but stabbing him in the back was rubbish, should have done it face to face. It was more fun to kill him later when siding with the templars (just did the end to see what it was like) or at least it would have been if Isabela hadn't killed him before Hawke had a chance to even hit him once.

[StableZaner]

I didn't kill because I thought he deserved to be made to fight, make some use out of him was the least he could do. And Merrill would of disliked it and therefore never have given me some sweet loving again.

Second time I killed him...cos goddamit Anders you made a mess out of everything. You took a step you had no right to take and made a choice for others.

[kromify]

we became fugitives together. my hawke romanced him; she just couldn't kill the man. maybe it would have been different if i'd romanced fenris, but hawke was just too emotionally invested in him. he was the only family she had left
