So... This is an idea that I thought of when talking about Anders on the chat. My first thread too.

Anyway, according to Anders' backstory for DA 2 he was stabbed in the heart in the short story that was written for him.

In this short story he is stabbed in the heart by a templar.

By this I mean that Anders might be "immortal" as it were...

So even if you do kill him, keep in mind 'tis all hypothetical, Anders MIGHT return even if he dies by the end of your game.

Thoughts?

I don't want him to come back regardless of player choice. There was precious little choice available in DA2, I'd hate to be told that my decisions once again don't matter. That said, if he does come back I'll gladly kill him again. Michael Largness (talk) 18:37, August 8, 2011 (UTC)

I agree with Michael 100%. Anders must be dead, or die again. LVTDUDE (talk) 18:46, August 8, 2011 (UTC)

Anders is easily the most unlikable character in DA. Ascension87 (talk) 18:48, August 8, 2011 (UTC)

I think Anders has served his purpose. If a player spared him, I'd expect to see a cameo in DA3. If a player killed him, I'd expect Anders to remain dead. Maybe there would be a Justice cameo instead in that case, with Justice talking about how altered his perspective had been while he was in a living human host, and how much he regrets his actions as Vengeance.--DarkAger (talk) 18:52, August 8, 2011 (UTC)

I thought he might come back as an antagonist, as in, Justice takes over Anders' body and tries to fight everything(one?) or Anders does die but comes back somehow, not as a bad retcon but like ACTUALLY comes back. Since him and Justice are one he is technically a spirit in physical form. Gaiden96 (talk) 19:25, August 8, 2011 (UTC)

I would actually like Justice to come back possessing Ander's corpse and looking for redemption for what Vengeance did. Probably as a future companion, would be a nice way to make an Arcane Warrior companion, as Justice was a Warrior, now possessing a dead mage... But that's quite unlikely to happen I suppose.
