Just wondering. People usually kill him or give him another chance. Who else takes the middle option? And if you side with the mages do you tell him to GTFO again at the Gallows? 

I do. I side with the mages. I don't kill him because of Hawke's sibling (Grey Warden). And I think it's worse for him to live with the consequences. Imagine not being able to take part in everything you supposedly stood for. He essentially gets sidelined from his own "revolution". That must suck. A lot more than dying anyway.

Thoughts?

[Morroian]

I have and then was mildly annoyed when he re-appeared when we caught up with Orsino.

Ahm? Anders can take part of it. The Order cannot, but it's not like the taint will yell with him or something. He doesn't follow the order anymore, so their rules don't really mean anything to him...

About the topic, I haven't. I'm doing a playthrough where I will ,though.

[Mr.House]

Nope, but he always romances his true love.

I don't really any more, and it's entirely Sebastian's fault. If I tell Anders to GTFO, it's usually because Hawke cannot deal with him. Is furious, pissed off, wants him out of the picture. And then Sebastian is like, "no I'ma kill him rar!" and the only thing you can do if you still want to exile Anders is be like "DON'T YOU DARE INTERFERE" all protective and invested - it's clearly an answer written and voiced for a Hawke who still likes and forgives Anders and wants him around. So it's completely jarring and distracting on a Hawke who doesn't, and punts me right out of the story, and I tend to kill him now when I would otherwise have run him off just to avoid that.

The second time around I took this option. I looked at it mostly like, I mostly thought he deserved to die but my female Hawke opted to show him one last mercy for helping to save Bethany. The funny thing about that though is that since I decided to help the mages, he snuck into the gallows to help me but I still told him to go. Which means he probably sneaked into a besieged prison surrounded by people who wanted to kill him, and now has to find his own way out past all the templars that he eluded the first time.

Depends on my Hawke..

My first Hawke was a Pro-Mage ( within reason ) Mage. Who romanced him through friendship, while constantly informing him of the stupidity involved in merging with Justice. She spared him and told him to help fix the mess he caused.

One of my latest Hawkes.. Templar who was Pro-Mage decided to stab him in the face. No romance, a lot of rivalry. ( I didn't use him a lot and always tended to disagree with his extreme views. )

Most of the time though, Hawke tells him to run like the sissy he is, if he comes back later she doesn't accept his help.

I alway kill him. I need Sebastian to help the mages.

[Jonathan Seagull]

That's exactly what my canon Hawke - who both romanced Anders and sided with the mages - did. Wouldn't kill him, but wouldn't let him stick around either. I should note that Sebastian wasn't around in that playthrough, although I think I would've done the same thing.

[Melca36]

My rogues kill him.

My mages run off with him.

Sebastian can shove it.

[Drasanil]

Anders dies every time, mind you only played through twice, and will likely continue to do so should I decide to play the game a third time at some later point. I liked him in DAA, but the way he was handled in DA2 and the personality 180 just put me off. Even if you had the ability to stop him from making the chantry 'splode I would likely kill him anyways.

[jamesp81]

Nah, the mage resistance needs a symbol and a leader. It's not as if the Chantry was exactly innocent, so I find it difficult to muster a lot of sympathy for them. When they decided to treat mages as criminals due to an accident of birth, Anders or a man like him was inevitable. I refuse to do their revenge killing for them. If they want him, they can come get him, but I for damned sure am not going to help them do it.

[TheJediSaint]

Ander's actions placed every mage in the Circle in mortal jeopardy without asking them to join his revolution. Since my Warrior Hawke's sister was in the circle, Anders also placed her in mortal danger . For that reason, I could not let him live. I also prefer to have a morally upright archer rather than a hypocritical abomination on my team.

First time I spared him because I thought he should help sort out the mess he'd placed the Circle Mages in and then (because I was in friendship mode) when we got to the Gallows his speech implied that I still supported him which I didn't, and I was even more annoyed that the dialogue prompt "It was the right thing to do" which I took to mean "defending the Circle mages from being killed for something they didn't do", was instead translated as "the mages deserve their freedom". This did not match my sentiments at all at that point.

So next run through, I killed him but then he went on about how his name would live on, etc, etc, and I thought, hell this is what he wants, so the 3rd run through I told him to get lost and kept telling him to get lost because I didn't think he was doing the mages cause any good. The problem with that is that you've then let a completely unstable abomination run free and who knows what stupid plan he would come up with next to make the population believe that mages aren't really dangerous.

4th run through I sided with the Templars, released him and then got to kill him in open battle.

5th run through I finally had Sebastian, my mage became a Chantry sister and was working towards change from within - so I finally had a reason to kill him that didn't feel like I was giving into Anders so much as supporting Sebastian, who was the only person who seemed to get the fact that "Why are we debating the Right of Annulment when the person responsible is standing right here?".

At least in the epilogue it is Hawke's name that is remembered, not Anders, so I suppose that is some consolation for not being able to lock him up and throw away the key. Now that would be poetic justice.

[ReallyRue]

I did on the rivalry romance. She couldn't kill him, so she turned him loose. Of course, that also happened to be one of the two playthroughs where I sided with Meredith, so he ended up dying anyway, as well as having Sebastian run off.

My other playthroughs mainly involve him dying, but he's alive in the friend romance and I-hate-the-Chantry playthrough. It feels bad turning him loose though. At least if you take him with you, you can keep an eye on him. And if he's dead, he can't cause trouble.

[SirDoctorofTARDIS]

No. I kill him every time even on a romance.

[dreamextractor]

I tell him to GTFO. I don't like killing Anders because Sebastian would think I was on HIS side then >_>

And I hate Sebastian.

[Heimdall]

My canon Hawke, a reasonable Pro Mage one who was friends with Anders, killed him, more out of mercy than anger.

[Zubie]

Usually kill him.

Sometimes tell him to GTFO and then kill him later.

[yumz0mbies]

I kept him because I needed a healer. Sad, but true.

[GhostlyMaiden]

Let's see...

Force Mage Hawke tried to have Anders help on templars' side, but that was friendship so no go. He then lets Anders run off, because even after being hardened from All That Remains, he can't kill outside of self-defense. Ends up killing him in the Gallows anyways though.

Archer Hawke is extremely non-confrontational and wanted to leave his fate to the Maker, so she was going to let him go. Then friendmanced Sebastian happened, so she ended up killing him to keep Sebastian from breaking his vows.

Blood Mage Hawke had been totally bros with him and his cause, but she drew the line at terrorism. Not having the heart to kill him, she decided to wash her hands of him and told him to am-scray when they met again in the Gallows.

[Avilia]

Question - seems a good thread to ask this in. If you send Anders away what does Varric say about him in epilogue? Or is it treated the same as if he died?

To keep things on topic - I've only let him live once and that was a 'pro mage wonder if anyone even notices if you don't kill him' run.

[Yuqi]

Hmmn, I dont care for sebastion so.. Ispare anders on most playthroughs. Can you get sebastion to stay if you rival him,and tell anders to 'run,run away and never return' ?

Nope. All you get is a dialogue change when you tell him to back off.

[CrimsonZephyr]

Killed him. Every time.
