DA: Awakening's Anders to be a party member in Dragon Age II

Beware, though, for all is not as it seems.

Everyone's favorite kitty loving, chantry hating mage is making a return in Dragon Age II, Game Informer (via Greywardens.com) has confirmed. Here's the thing, though: his body's definitely back to aid your cause, but his head isn't entirely in the game. Literally.

See, shortly after Anders hitches a ride on your world-saving train, you discover that one of his old Grey Warden pals has been turned Tranquil. Anders, understandably, is p**sed, but it's not until his eyes glow like spotlights and his voice sounds like it's coming through a megaphone that's coming through God that you realize something's off. Turns out, he's been possessed by a spirit of justice.

Granted, there's been no mention of whether this is the Justice or simply another of his kind who suffered a similar flesh-and-blood-oriented fate. Still though, we'd definitely be up for an Awakening twofer, so fingers crossed.

Thanks, Joystiq.
