My first reaction to seeing that Anders tagged concept art was hostility. Anders is basically a punching bag throughout the Dragon Age games, unless you pick your path carefully. I could, though, handle it if that was just one of many possibilities - a sort of “contents of your Anders cave will vary due to player choices” thing. So I decided to make my own future.

Anders: “I should have trusted you. Even with all we’ve shared, I never thought you’d spare my life. If we live through this, you know I’ll be hunted. No one in Kirkwall will offer me mercy. But, if you would join me, I’d rather be on the run with you than safe with anyone else.”

Hawke: “Then we will be fugitives together.”

Anders: “We will fight for a world where our children can be born mages, and free. Ten years, a hundred years from now, someone like me will love someone like you, and there will be no templars to tear them apart. May the Maker bring us victory, or everything else is meaningless.”
