Well, no. We'd get him on attempted murder (for any survivors and any who we might infer could typically be in the Chantry), murder (for Elthina and the templars) and terrorrism (the name varies by jurisdiction). 

If you're talking about what he's technically guilty of as a freedom fighter, then the answer is obviously nothing since he's a hero of the Revolucion in this narrative. 

I meant in context of the debris field.


He's a murdering extremist as bad as meredith is.

Wrong, Darth. When you have magical powers it isn't called terrorism. It's called resisting the oppressive theocracy of the Templars. If anything, Anders is a hero.

If all else fails, use sarcasm.

@TheRedVipress: It does highlight the mindset of certain individuals on the BSN (and many such radicals in the real world with their own agendas)

Debris field = the flying chunks of Chantry that may have caused damage throughout the city.

And death, don't forget death. If one of those hits someone in the head, they're done for.

Not at all. Anders set it so that only those who weren't pure of heart could die as a result of him nuking the chantry.

I'm sure the people who condemn the tyranny of the Chantry controlled Circles as slavery see Anders as a hero for taking action that lead to their emancipation from a millennia of servitude.

I bet the Mages in Kirkwall didn't think that when they got slaughtered for it

Why? He didn't emancipated any mages in particular, that I could see. Just make sure a whole lot of them got killed for his actions.

So much this. I am promage all the way, but Anders took it way too far.

They represent the opposite ends of the extremists. Kinda like Xil and Lotion.

@LobselVith8: Perhaps - but not everyone who believes the Chantry is oppressive would also condone an act of violence that does such incredible damage to an entire city.

Not everyone who loves freedom also loves violence (condoning his actions is support).

Oh. Well, with that it really depends on the jurisdiction. For example, it Kirkwall had constructive murder provisions then you could ostensibly pin every death in Kirkwall on Anders. 

The legal system would find a way to interpret the law to hold Anders quite culpable, citing the unique facts of the case.

I think the hundreds of mages in the Circle of Kirkwall were more focused on avoiding getting slaughtered in an act of genocide. That doesn't change that I'm sure some mages see Anders as a hero; the Champion is certainly a symbol to mages if he opposed Meredith's Right of Annulment.

You might note that Hawke was the one keeping them from being killed instead of plotting to give Meredith the justification she was desperate for to slaughter them all.

Which Anders precipitated and provided a excuse for.

I see your point, but neither did the  Champion blow up the Chantry either.

Anders even said it himself, "I removed the chance for compromise because there is no compromise."

He knows exactly what he's done, he's forced the mages off a cliff so that they either fight or die.

I spared him once out of friendship. I no longer show him any form of mercy.

He he.
Looking at BSN, Anders is either a psychotic terrorist that must be put to the sword, or a justified freedom-fighter whose only real crime was littering.

The Champion would get praise but Anders got damned for causing more tension in the Circle (i.e Asunder)

Hawke can also be romantically involved with Anders, or fighting alongside him as a friend to defeat the templars. I don't think everyone would see Anders in the same light, and I maintain that some mages could see him as a heroic figure.

This. I let him live so he could "attempt" to atone for his actions and to help me defeat Meredith. Otherwise, we parted ways, friends no longer. He is in part responsible for the deaths that are coming, regardless of whether or not you think he was justified in his actions.

I'd hope so. He basically just kicked over a hornet's nest. It's not going to make anything better for mages, it'll make it worse.

The fact I despise what they turned "Anders" into in DA2 doesn't really help matters any.
