Myst does sound potentially interesting! Is the worldbuilding and characterization at all comparable to DA?
I've played all the way through DA2 now, by the way. The ending rather surprised me because it was so sudden, and nothing was actually resolved - I expected there to be an entire additional act, somehow.
As for Anders: Argh. Okay, even locking the man up in a left-over slaver pen in my basement wouldn't have helped. At this point, I'm convinced that once he joined up with Justice, there was basically no way for him to live in this world anymore. Too many shades of grey. He is worse than Meredith; she at least seemed to have moments of genuine regret that she had to go to such extremes.
How is Anders a romance option, but Aveline isn't? (My poor Hawke was so in love with her for a while there.) And how does any player character ever actually leave the guy alive and then run away with him?? There is *no way* Anders will not do something exactly like this again and again. He cannot learn. He is literally unable to, thanks to Justice.
