With the soon to be released boxed expansion for BioWare’s smash hit RPG Dragon Age: Origins, more information gets revealed every day about Awakening. Today, we present you a first look at one of the new members, Anders. We’ve got a new video in super HD showing him off and a brief description of who he is. Be sure to tune in.
Character Anders
Many mages chafe under the Chantry’s control, and Anders is no exception. Although most mages are brought into the Circle at a young age, Anders was an adolescent by the time the templars found him: he had an understanding of the outside world and knew full well what he was missing. To him, the walls of the Circle Tower were nothing more than a prison.
A born troublemaker, Anders repeatedly broke out of the tower, displaying great ingenuity. But for all his resourcefulness and talent, he could never quite elude the templars. It’s a lucky thing that Anders despises blood mages as much as the Chantry does, else he might have been executed as a suspected maleficarum long ago. In truth, all he wants is freedom–well, freedom, a good meal, and a pretty girl on his arm. That’s not too much to ask, is it?

This looks to be a great character and will add a very outspoken element to the game; however my mage will have to corrupt him and teach him the advantages of blood magic. :) Just like I did to Wynne

Looks like an awesome character! And i'm happy to see that Alistair will at least make an appearance!

Ah, my mage is going to get along with him, i can already tell. :)

Looks like he's gonna be buckets of fun…
My immediate thought is "Is this guy romanceable" though. XD

Is it just me, or is "Alistair the Apostate" coming to anybody else's mind? The two characters seem similar, or it may just be the voice.

Oh, I'm liking him! :D

Yeah, he looks a bit like Alistair, too. Dunno.

At least he won't be hitting on my Morrigan, she will be busy giving birth…damn, I miss her already lol.

I thought Alistair had Sardonic Reluctant Hero covered?
Hmmm … I suppose I shouldn't pre-judge it too much. Maybe he's got more depth than that trailer would indicate.

He looks like a awesome character.
And his first line : "uhhh I didn't do it" I'm going to like this guy.
Awesome!

I can't wait for awakenig release :D
I'm a big fan of this game but i'm thinking here:
When we make our character we choose the voice we want him or her to have but in the the cutscenes when we have to choose what we want our charater to say we never listen to our character voice….
Perhaps in a near future they release a patch to fix that issue??Or already has??
I hope so….
Sorry for my english but i'm portuguese…..

I agree..It appears to be Alistair crossed with Daveth plus robes.. Time will tell.

É realmente um não erro, mas ' como ele is'. Ao contrário do efeito maciço (por exemplo), muitos jogos de roleplaying não o deixam ' hear' seu lado da conversação. Pesaroso para meu português, I' inglês de m. :P
It is actually not a bug, but 'how it is'. Unlike Mass Effect (for example), many roleplaying games do not let you 'hear' your side of the conversation.
Sorry for my Portuguese, I'm English. :P

Is it me, or did this character really need to be voiced by Eddie Izzard? =)
