I was thinking about all this stuff which bioware is doing with some characters who are believed to be dead (Leliana e.g. - we can kill her in DAO during recovering urn of sacred ashes, but she still is present in DA2, so we have to assume she survived fight with our Warden) and here comes my question - don't u think there could be similiar case with Anders? we can stab him in the end of the game and he's shown falling on the ground but he's damn abomination so without remowing his head there probably no possibility to be sure about "effectiveness" of his death.
Do u think bioware is going to use him in DA3 even if that means bringing him back to life?

And then his sword is level with my chest, and I let it come, because it is only steel and cannot hurt me,
for I am not of mortal men. And when it sinks hilt-deep in my flesh with no reaction, that's when he gives up. He turns and runs, and from behind, I tear his head off at the neck, no magic, just me, whatever that is now. His blood splashes into my open mouth and it tastes like honeyed wine and the
warmth spreads through me.

I don't think you actually have to 'behead' an abomination to kill it, just kill the 'host'. Lots of abominations get killed (i.e.Uldred and DA:O and Marethari in DA2) without anyone suggesting you have to cut of their heads to keep them from coming back. But let me say now - if Anders gets 'resurrected' in DA3 (or DA3+) I will stop buying the series. Executing Anders was one of only a couple of decisions with any lasting consequence that Hawke was allowed to make in DA2 so if EA/Bioware cheapens that single important decision down the road, I will be done with it.

i know i know, this "beheading" was only a symbol of extra vitality of abominations ;] and as ShardofTruth wrote this "extra vitality" exists... but u're right, with that knowledge about possible surviving of anders stabbing him won't as satisfying as it used to be before...
