Won't happen.

No. Anders is not relevant or significant. If not him, another mage would be the one. In the grand scheme of things, he is nobody. Its not about him. Move on. No more Anders. People are seriously too polarized about him now.

But In a way this arguably is exactly what makes him such an effective character. I'd be one of the first to point of flaws in the development of the character from Awakening to DA2, but Bioware loves complicated issues that split the fan opinion, and in that regard I think Anders may be one of their greatest succeses.

The game lets Hawke take any number of positions on Anders' actions, which is just like the fanbase does. Now arguably the ability to express these opinions is lacking in some cases, but I still appreciated being able to react several different ways after the Chantry explosion.

I do want to see him cameo again, but only if they aknowledge whether he and Hawke left on good or bad terms and the PC gets a similar choice of reactions.

I don't see Varric being especially pleased to see him again though.

Get over the fact that your terrorist boyfriend is a rampaging lunatic who's mental condition is deteriorating rapidly and can be killed.

If he shows up as a cameo, he better be completely under the control of Vengeance or be a gibbering animal trying to control it.

Personally no, I would not like Anders back as a companion. It's nothing personal. I adored nearly all the DA:O, DA:A, and DAII companions, and I don't want any of them them back as anything but cameos, or major movers outside the party. The only one I really want back in my party is Varric, as his story is the least variable of all the companions, making him the least complicated to work into the plot, and his role as the "True Neutral, Just Wants to Look After His Friends Guy" is all the more important to an Inquisitor about to find him/herself neck deep in various factions.

Besides, it'll be fun establishing new relationships with new people as a new character, meeting your companions for the first time is one of the best parts of any Bioware game.

That said, Anders/Vegence as a major plot point? That could be quite interesting, especially if Varric is in fact there to confront him.

And if he's neither?

What exactly would he be? Anders at the end of the last game was pretty damn close to either one of the other. If he isn't either, I don't see the state he is in being particularly better. Maybe if Hawke romanced him to a far away cabin and they stayed in a quiet, isolated environment, he might be able to live a somewhat happy and relaxing life, but expose him to the rest of the world again, and I'm pretty sure he'd snap right back to the deranged Vengence/Anders mix.

Then it'd be inconsistent. Friendship leads him to basically being Vengeance personified and Rivalry leads him to wanting to commit suicide due to his incapability of keeping him suppressed

He was quite happy and focused at the end of my game, better than he had been for the entire prior Act 3. He seems to have fully recovered, now that the action has truly begun.

[GodWood]

I'd rather have as little returning characters as possible.

Anders served his purpose, if he was given any other major role it'd feel contrived.

[SgtElias]

Anders is my favorite Dragon Age character, but I think he's pretty much had his time in the spotlight.

I wouldn't rule out the possibility of a cameo, if you chose to keep him alive, but I suspect that most people killed him in Dragon Age 2, so I'd be really surprised if he came back in any serious capacity.

Because he's becoming one with Vengeance. Hardly a good thing.

That can be your interpretation of what it is, but Justice in DA2 has never been happy at all, so I see no indication of that.

Justice isn't Justice anymore. Anders's rage corrupted Justice turning the spirit of Justice into Vengeance.

[LolaLei]

I kept Anders alive. I'd like to see him turn up as a cameo in DAI, but I wouldn't want him as a companion again.

[Swagger7]

No Anders. Don't spend too much effort on characters that many people killed off.

Potato, potato.

[Shasow]

No, he deserves to be dead. The story probably has some stuff revolving around his death, so it wouldn't work if he was alive.

[Azjurai]

Meh, even if he's dead in your saves they can just pull a 'Sister Nightingale'. Which would be lovely, then I can kill that *removed* *deleted* murdering tool all over again.

Anders isn't a lunatic. He simply opposed the millennia old slavery of mages, and sought to free his people from their shackles.

[ref]

DA1 Anders - Sure.
DA2 Anders - zzz, oh wait, what? I'm supposed to be interested in you?

Then again, DA1 Anders was too much like Alistair, and I'd much rather have him instead.

So... no to Anders.

By blowing up a Chantry and murdering quite a few people. Oh, and starting a war that will engulf Thedas. I'm all for freedom but two wrongs don't make a right. 

He is no worse than the zealot Templars. 

Anyway, to the OP. 

No. He was a companion in Awakenings and DAII with a huge role in the latter. He played his part and we know enough about him. The most we can get is a cameo not that I would care since he's dead in all my playthroughs.
