Where is anders da2

I was like, "Anders, didn't you agree to move in here? Why aren't you here? But,yes, he makes the offer, Hawke accepts, and from what I can tell, he doesn't fully move in until Act 3.

That's how it worked out for me. By Lashtas - Sun Mar 20, pm. Lashtas Status: Offline. By highcastle - Sun Mar 20, pm. There are a couple of conversations with him at your house one at the beginning of the act, another humorous one if you click on your dog.

I believe you still have to be at his clinic to talk to him about his Justice quest, though for scripting reasons, I assume. However, there are plenty of banters with your companions about Anders moving in. In short, assuming Anders survives the events of Dragon Age 2 , it seems many just ignore what he did. That really doesn't seem feasible, and there's a lot of emphasis on his death, even in Dragon Age Inquisition.

Giving him a passing death after his role in the franchise isn't really fitting, however. Players could have captured Anders through the War table or in a side quest, and gave him closure with a final judgment on his actions. Players judged everyone from Tevinter Magister Alexius to an Avvar Barbarian who threw carcasses at Skyhold's walls, and Anders would have fit right in. Romanced Hawke aside, which would likely complicate matters, players could have sent him back to the Templars, made him Tranquil, conscripted him, ended his life yet again , or more, all to bring closure to the matter.

This means one of two things: Anders may just fade into obscurity, especially if he romanced Hawke and they died, but that feels like a big piece of the puzzle missing. Anders himself could somehow be involved in this new war, as Grey Wardens and the blight may somehow still be involved, but whatever the case, Dragon Age 4 needs to give Anders complete closure. It's certainly harder in games where choice matters, but ending Anders life in Dragon Age 2 is the easy answer.

Dragon Age 4 should give it a proper answer. Dragon Age 4 is in development. PS5 is the only confirmed platform so far. Anders only seems to get along with Isabela and Varric.

Everyone else bickers with him. Anders hates Aveline because she's pro-Circle, doesn't seem to see mages as people, and wants all mages locked up. This makes it hard to be her friend as a mage character because she can say some really crappy things to Hawke. Admittedly, mage Hawke pretty much spends the game saying, "What about me? Should I be locked up? The instances that come to mind are Gamlen's ranting after Leandra's death and Cullen's crappy rant in the Gallows, but there are more.

Unlike Cullen and Gamlen, Aveline could actually be Hawke's friend but will still say to her face that mages aren't people. So basically. And if you take Aveline into the Fade during the quest Night Terrors, she will give in to the demon. Later, she will say that mages should be locked up if that's what they have to contend with all the time.

She says that resisting a demon is so difficult for her that the mages who manage it must not be mortal. So in other words. Aveline was too weak to resist a demon but thinks mages who can resist should be locked up. Where is the logic? The last time I checked, you don't have to be a mage to become an abomination. Yes, Night Terrors demonstrates that a powerful mage can become a powerful abomination, but Feynriel doesn't give in.

He begs for Hawke to make him Tranquil and has the option to go to Tevinter to study. But he never once gives in to any of the demons who tempt him. Anders is right about Aveline being dumb and a shitty guard captain. All of Act 2 demonstrates this. She fraternizes with a subordinate on her desk, for god's sake.

When Hawke commits crimes in front of her, she turns a blind eye. Her guards get away with raping elven women because she doesn't find it important enough to investigate.

And if she had done her job, she might have saved Leandra, as well as countless other women. Aveline was also married to a templar. Anders seems to assume that Wesley is a jerk. It's because most templars are jerks. There's even a line you can get from Carver during his personal quest where he says, "Have we ever met a templar that wasn't a colossal prick?

Anders has spent his life in the Circle being mistreated by templars. He knows how they think and he knows most of them are abusers. Why wouldn't he assume the worst about Wesley? And for anyone who was paying attention during the prologue. Anders is right. Hawke and her family dive in to save Aveline and Wesley from darkspawn, and even though Wesley is falling over and about to die, he attempts to.

No idea what he thought he was doing. But he tries to get aggressive with Bethany and possibly Hawke if Hawke is a mage, even though they just saved his miserable life! He doesn't back down until Aveline steps in. Aveline has a bias against mages but she also has more sense than a templar. This is something that Anders can sort of point out when he says that Aveline is smarter than he supposed and makes an insulting reference to her headband holding her brains in.

Anders spends all of Acts 1 and 2 trying to convince Merrill that she's in danger of becoming an abomination. Because Anders is ignorant and bigotted toward elves, he goes about it the wrong way. First, he tries to teach Merrill Andrastianism, which is all levels of insulting. He knows she has her own religion, but he deems it inferior and tries to convert her. When Merrill puts him in his place, he takes a different tactic: he starts explaining, in great detail, what it's like to be possessed by a spirit.

Note that Merrill never refers to the pride demon as a "demon" but as a "spirit. Merrill is frightened by Anders' horrific descriptions but not frightened enough. I think we all know how Pride's End. We could assume that Anders actually cares about Merrill, but the real reason for his rage against her is Hawke. Anders is in love with Hawke whether Hawke returns his affections or not.

He doesn't want to see Hawke get hurt, but Merrill puts the woman he loves through hell with her antics with the mirror. A lot of fans hate Anders for stopping his entire quest in Act 3 to criticize Hawke's relationship with Merrill. He will tell Hawke that Merrill will always choose the demon over her. Hawke, who usually has a witty comeback or a harsh remark, is so speechless that all she can sputter is, "Merrill loves me!

Anders accuses Fenris of being jealous of his mage sister. Anders and Fenris have a hatred that is legendary as far as Dragon Age rivalries go. Their actual hatred and contempt for each other made many fans myself included finally realize that Morrigan and Alistair didn't really hate each other. They disliked each other and enjoyed bickering like siblings, but actually hate? Anders and Fenris are what real hate looks like. Anders and Fenris hate each other because they are the exact opposite of each other.

They are foils. They highlight each other's strengths and weaknesses. For instance, where Fenris is bitter and indifferent, Anders is earnest and compassionate and cares a little too much for his own good. People make the argument that Fenris is like that because he was abused, but. Anders was locked in solitary confinement for what? A year? He lived in a Circle, where he suffered repeated abuses at the hands of the templars. Hell, his first personal quest in Act 1 has his lover lobotimized and used as bait to lure him into a trap!

And despite his abuse, Anders is still a compassionate man. He uses his freedom to help people and puts himself at risk to do so. Meanwhile, Fenris uses his freedom to get drunk and rant bitterly while hiding for years in a dusty old mansion.

Fenris even openly admits that he hates Merrill because she "wasted" her freedom for a mirror, despite the fact that he himself wastes his own freedom to do what? Kill people for money? He's a mercenary who kills whoever he's told but wants to play the moral high ground with mages. Anders wants to set other mages free while Fenris hates other elves. He sneers on them, insults the Dalish, and complains every time you bring him to the alienage. Meanwhile, Merrill devotes her entire life to helping the elves in the alienage, no matter what the outcome of the story.

Fenris' story about slaughtering the Fog warriors paints him as the bloodthirsty animal he is, full of a rage that is just barely controlled. I remember the first time I romanced him on the friendship path and how shocked I was when Fenris nearly put his fist through Hawke's chest just because she touched his arm! This domestic violence near-miss abruptly ends when Hawke kisses Fenris and then they have sex.

Fenris nearly put his first through Hawke because she touched him. He is clearly unhinged and emotionally unstable, more so than Anders, the actual abomination. He hates mages but is a magic lyrium warrior who can phase through solid objects.

And he chose to become one because he was jealous of his sister, who was a mage. He even tries to kill his sister during his personal quest, while she cringes and begs. He doesn't even bother learning the truth first.

I'm not saying Anders isn't a danger to Hawke. But even with a Vengeance demon living inside him, Anders never posed a physical threat to her.

Fenris did. So when Anders calls Fenris a "wild dog" and not a man. A wild dog is exactly how Fenris behaves. His master gave him the name "Little Wolf" for a reason. If you've read my other articles here, you may be wondering how I could hate Solas and yet make excuses for Anders. After all, Solas is also a freedom fighter who became a terrorist. He once fought against the Evanuris to free the elven people from slavery, and according to some banter from Cole "It left a mark when he burned her off his face" he may have even been a slave with the face markings of Mythal.

And eventually, he blew up a holy place to save his people, just like Anders. The mages are suffering, and when Orsino tries to bring attention to it, she dismisses him and Meredith both like bickering children. She doesn't take the mistreatment of the mages seriously.

At all. Silly children. Back to your corners. She acts as if she's only trying to keep the peace, but should the peace be kept at the expense of mage lives? Are the mages little more than collateral damage, people whose freedom and dignity must be sacrificed in order to keep the south from becoming like Tevinter? But Hawke never became Inquisitor, so the story became a side quest in the Hinterlands and the conflict with the Circles and the Chantry was never really settled.

People complain that Anders should have blown up the templars' quarters instead of a church, but the Chantry is in control of the templars. Alistair tells you in Origins, "Don't let them fool you: they're an army. The templars are the holy army of the Chantry. It's the Chantry who enforces the law, not the viscounts and kings, which is how Meredith remained on the seat of the viscount so long.

It's because Elthina knew that the Chantry was in control anyway. Not the templars. Not the kings.
