#as if he hadn’t already planned for the worst #Anders has lived in a constant state of apocalypse since he was taken to the tower #a man who has escaped that many times knows ALL the exits and has planned for all contingencies

How early do you think Anders sensed that Hawkes sibling had the blight? When it happened? Just after? Did Anders open his mouth to raise the alarm? Did Carver glare at him until he shut it again? Did Bethany shake her head: not yet, not now, it's too late to fix it anyway, let's pretend a while longer. Do you think Anders was desperately trying to plan while Hawkes sibling bantered back and forth with Hawke for possibly the last time? Do you think Anders did quiet soft healing spells when they made camp to ease the pain off for as long as possible? How long was it Anders and Carver keeping that secret, the two who had never gotten along but who were now bound in this? How long did Anders spend wondering if he could make Bethany "Sunshine" Hawke who was kind about Justice and understood his cause a Grey Warden? How long?

We were TRULY robbed of Anders in Warden armor in da2

[mourn-and-watch]

isn't it wild that warden-commander invoked the right of conscription on anders with direct permission of the queen/king of ferelden and templars still didn't leave him be. isn't it wild that some of them were willing to drink darkspawn blood and bound themselves to another order just to get to him even though he was proven to be under warden-commander's protection. isn't it wild that the wardens had always been a golden ticket for mages who tried to get away from the circle and it was working perfectly fine for everyone else and then in his case it just didn't

[bossuary]

remember when Anders was a Warden? ha ha. good times. yeah, but seriously why would Inquisition show us an epilogue of an exiled, post DA2 Anders living destitute in some cave...when they could have put him back with the Wardens?

You're telling me he wouldn't reconsider going back to them after the events at Adamant? After Justice learns what Corypheus did to the Wardens? Not Vengeance but JUSTICE. What a juicy piece of heartbreak, a necessary closure, for Anders to seek out the remaining Wardens...ugh, back in the ANDERFELS of all places. A bitter homecoming for a man who barely had a place to call home his whole life, unwelcome among mages who should show him the most kindness, brought with somber acceptance back into the fraternity of duty that he abandoned. A broken and limping faction itself.

Anders was lucky to have survived the Architect and Amaranthine. He was lucky to have survived his own righteousness in Kirkwall. Lucky to have survived the bloody conflict he sparked, that ate southern Thedas. Lucky, to have survived Corypheus' false calling and the whispering misery of the Nightmare.

Luck or Fate?

If he's still kicking around after the Breach is sealed and the Dread Wolf has risen, Anders has to wonder if there ought to be a purpose to his continued existence. If there's no such thing as destiny, then all that matters is choice. Every choice Anders has made has cost him dearly. He's nothing if not consistent! But rebels grow old, if they're lucky. They grow up, they grow into greater and more profound perspectives. The Anders who once said he'd basically rather die than go back to the Wardens, the same man who lived through the brutal widespread consequences of blowing up the Chantry, could absolutely make a different choice.

I have to believe some part of him still remembers what it was like to defend Amaranthine, to be willing to stand between the innocent and the darkness. To choose to serve, and not to run.

idk. . .of all the cameos and faction agents we could see in Veilguard, to find Anders and Justice among the Wardens would be a phenomenal and welcome plot twist.

Somehow, playing BG3 made me miss DA even more.

It’s like missing the old friends.

Some facts (with spoilers from DATV) that we learned today about Dragon Age companions:

Lucanis' writer intended him to be panromantic and demisexual.

Emmrich was said to be in his early 50s before, but this info was from earlier in the writing. His writer sees him from somewhere between his mid 50s and early 60s at most.

wardens don't hear the calling anymore (although they still have the blight. the effects are just lesser). this applies to: alistair, anders, oghren, sigrun, nathaniel, velanna and davrin, and potentially bethany, carver, loghain, thom rainier and rook (and our HOF and any warden character): [link 1, 2]

They would have wanted Fenris to appear in Veilguard (maybe as a companion?) [link 1, 2]

the dreadwolf works alone. he doesn't have agents anymore [link]

(epler deactivated his bsky account so i dont have the exact words or screenshots, but he clarified a few hours ago that solas never liked working with others, and that especially with everything related to the rebellion he grew to dislike it. the inquisition gave him a little of that interest back, and his agents helped him with the dagger, but after a while he decided to go back to work alone)

some by weekes, from their writing notes:

"1) Taash never uses commas. (In dialogue or in codex entries that they've written, unless quoting someone else.)

2) In Veilguard, Solas never gives direct orders. (Barring maybe "think" or "remember".)"

some others by feketekuty, emmrich's writer, about him:

his favorite icecream flavor is rum raisin, he probably goes to perfumers that have set up shop in nevarra city around the necropolis, he'd probably speaks/understands Tevene, he'd probably be into classical music but also he'd enjoy a concerto or an organ recital. or even a a bold new orlesian opera if he's feeling daring (she keeps answering questions, and she also spoke about the "age gap" thing w older rooks in this thread)

and here is an old post w facts abt bellara fun facts :]

happy da day!

I’m gonna draw also male and female Hawke matching portraits

I love companions like Davrin and Anders, because they’re actually Grey Wardens.

I mean, sure, Anders left, but he can still sense darkspawn in the Deep Roads and if you don’t bring him with you at the end of act one, your sibling will die.

Davrin helps find blight boils in the environment and uses his Grey Warden superpowers, which is pretty cool.

I remember that one time in Inquisition when I was exploring and came across darkspawn and my inquisitor asks how many are around.

And fucking Blackwall just goes, “Uhhhh….”

🤣

HEAR ME OUT.

WHAT IF JUSTICE. BUT UNDEAD GRIFFON.

Something something AU where Justice ends up possessing corpse of dead griffon prior to DA2. Bonus sketches:
