- For example, he's a Grey Warden no matter what you do, but its possible in Awakenings to turn him down and NEVER recruit him, period. Same with Justice. So why is he always listed as a Warden? And before anyone says 'he could have just lied' what social benefit would that have when he proclaims to be hiding FROM the wardens? How could he have known so much private information about them, (such as the Warden locations in the deep roads to save Bethany/Carver) if you NEVER recruited him to begin with? How did Anders and Justice meet for that to happen? And didn't the Warden need to HELP Justice win the fight against the Baroness to recruit him? If that never happened and you never pursued quests in the blackmarsh, again, how could they have met? How could he have possessed Kristoff? How could he have met Anders?
- Some may make the claim "Well he and Justice could have just joined another Warden group" if both characters exist in Thedas but were never recruited, BUT here's the kicker: How does Anders know Nathaniel in the Deep Roads? And how is he so well-established with the Dalish Warden commander if he/she was used on your playthrough and they're brought up through Merill? Also, Ser-Pounce-Alot further implied he was affiliated with Amaranthine, because in order to have asscoiates there he'd trust enough to keep him he'd have had to have been there long enough. All these things considered really dissuades the notion he'd have been recruited by another group.
- This is another minor plothole, but if Anders is retconned to fake his death during the struggle in Amaranthine, why would he have had to give up Ser-Pounce-Alot in the first place?
- Even if Justice and Anders meet, the transition doesn't make much sense, and if you read Hepler's story, the plotholes become even more glaringly obvious. According to Hepler's story Anders saw no need for the Circle, but in Awakenings there he is siding with Wynne against the libertarians proclaiming if they left it'd just be a "recipe for disaster". How did Anders get from that to dismissing any need for the Circle and trying to destroy the it when, even in DA2 he admits to Bethany that the Circle is the only way to ensure a mage gets properly educated? You'll get rivalry points from him in-game if you even say that circle has purpose. Also, Why is it that in Hepler's story he questions why mages have never rebelled despite residing in the Circle where Uldred attempted to usurp power? According to Awakenings, Anders' most prominent issue was that there was no way a mage could prove himself to the world.
Unrelated to Anders, I found it odd how Sandal could be in DA:O's witch Hunt, which took place 2 years after the Blight, but still be in Kirkwall. "Enchantment" indeed.

Retour en haut
set up the mage/templar conflict the way they want it (railroading and plotholes included), so everything can be ready for the next game. I view this installment (sadly) as nothing but a springboard. I do have high hopes for DA3.... I hope..... Maybe it's just wishful thinking.
