IGN has a short preview and nice little video clip on one of the new party members - an apostate mage called Anders:
http://pc.ign.com/ar.../1065425p1.html

Anders?! That's the lamest (Swedish) name I have ever heard. There's tons of cool names at 20000-names.com and Anders is picked?!
Can I kick him off my future team for having a name like that, or is that discrimination?


Why thanks for that Image IPB 
On the other hand it will be weird having a character with the same awesome name as myself Image IPB

I'm definately seeing (and hearing) a resemblance to Alistair and Cailan. I'd actually be more surprised if Anders WASN'T related to them.

Also, given Anders's mention of escape attempts to a shot of a prison scene... anyone think we'll be visiting the mage prison of Aeonar? (Possible Lily reappearance?)

Anders is a lot of fun in the party. He's involved in some of my favorite banter exchanges. I have to force myself not to take him in my party when I'm testing sometimes. :)


Who wrote his character?

Help me, I recognize his voice. The voice actor was definitely involved in the main game as well.

Also - did I see rain! Awesome!

The voice doesn't sound familiar to me. It's kind of funny...to me he seems like a cross between Jowan and Alistair in every way including the voice.

I like him already, heck, he sounds like someone my own mage would have been friends with in the Tower (we both couldn't stand being in there). I could see my character being the one who thought up all the escape plans and let Anders give them a go. As a romance, not my type, I'll stick with Z, but buddies - sure.

"After my 7th escape attempt, you'd think they have given me credit for trying."

He looks and sounds just like Alistair.

He looks very generic, but it should be interesting.


Looks can be deceiving...its always the "quiet" ones that surprise you. :)

On the other hand some of his revealed character and statements indicate he's not generic at all. :) 

I think he's going to be a fun, interesting..possibly even dynamic character to have on your team. :)

He does, maybe he's a long-lost cousin. :)

I hope you have a choice of turning him in or not. Just for the sake of dialogue options.

Personally, I thought that pretty much *all* of the characters in Origins looked pretty generic, with the possible exception of Morrigan. That was what I liked about them - they were fairly ordinary in appearance, not stunning supermodels. (Its also why I don't use any appearance mods).

I'm really looking forward to playing with Anders in my squad. Particularly as my first Awakening playthrough will be with an elven femme fatale whose having an affair with the king.

... So, am I the only one WTFing over the female Templar in the video? I thought only men were Templars, but I can't remember if that was officially stated anywhere, or if I just got that impression since all the Templars we see are male.

Will we get any kind of an explanation for that? Because I am a lore fiend -- especially with this game -- and I'd love to know!

... though I'm cringing at imagining what the fandom is going to do if there's female Templars. Yikes.

yeah he seemed to even have the same type of humor as alistair .... Would be nice if they came up with a character that has atleast a somewhat different personailty from existing party members.

Not bad, actually.



Personally, it's begining to sound as if the ladies are going "ga-ga", and the men are going "oh-NO!", so definitely a well-written character (from what is seen so far, that is).

You gotta remember that female warriors are a rare thing in Fereldan and since only warriors can become templars, female templars are even more rare.

Also, could she actually be the one female Templar that bested Alistar in the tournament when Duncan was recruiting amongst the Templars? *stares at David Gaider*

I'm about 90% certain that the voice actor for Anders also voiced Cullen and a few other minor characters in Origins, but I could be wrong.

Yeah i want to say the voice actor did the voices of wilhelm's son & the merchant who gives you the control rod, they had a tinge of Alistair's VA to them as well, wheter it is him or not i can't say, but those two gave me the same feeling as Anders
