The problem I see with this is that it would affect every other interaction you have - if you a Darkspawn in your party, that will *always* be a big deal. I don't really want Hawke's struggle to be "equal rights for Darkspawn."

He could hide his face in public, just as the masked hero does in the Awakening epilogue.

Cool.  As long as that can work out, I am supportive.  The Awakened Darkspawn are interesting.

...and taint every person he comes across. Also, I still can't see why a Darkspawn would join the Wardens.

Problem is, they hate Wardens and consider them abominations.

Problem is Hawke isnt a Warden as far as I know. But yeah I dont really like this idea as the idea is too overused in sequels nowdays, Master Chief teams up with the elites, Jack Sparrow with Barbosa, Shepard with the Geth ect, it just isnt a surprise twist anymore but a cheap plot device. However with that being said I can see it happening, I hope it doesnt but it is possible.

He's not joining the Warden's, he's joining Hawke, who I'm pretty sure has no affiliation with the Grey Wardens.

My explanation for a possible Darkspawn ally: remnant forces that have decided to band up under their remaining sentient leaders and work as mercenaries or slavers. Their services are available for a fee or quest favor, while the rest of the darkspawn you encounter have gone feral or are hostile under some other leadership.



Anyhow, for those of you that mentioned the darkspawn disease as a reason from preventing prolonged contact with darkspawn: you don't think your party members were at risk of contracting it just by spilling darkspawn blood and guts in close combat?



(remember, not all melee fighters in Origins were Wardens).

When people wonder why writers use ideas in their stories that others consider cliche, it's because they're damn good ideas.

This reaction is one of many that were anticipated, if you believe the darkspawn are pure evil, then you can always kill him like you could Zevran, or not recruit him like many others.

...and thereby deny yourself content.  This is the reason I can never bring myself to sell Legion, despite the fact that I don't like Geth and would rather have them remain as antagonists that I can blow away without guilt.

[Arttis]

Rather play a full story as a darkspawn.

Pffft,I dont care if Im "denying myself content" I dont want anything to do with this idea of a darkspawn being a companion. I'll kill it the first chance I get.

This is one of the reasons I actually enjoyed Darkspawn Chronicles. I had hoped that when it said we would play a different story in which the Warden died, that it would be longer than the Battle of Denerim.

darkspawn companion.... 'tis a stupid idea

I agree. Unless somehow the darkspawn somehow retained its humanity, this just wouldn't work.

[alickar]

well even tho the blight has ended the darkspawn r still a threat so u could possibly get one

[casedawgz]

A geth is one thing. But Legion couldn't give me fantasy cancer.

[phaonica]

I completely support the idea for an awakened darkspawn companion. That would be awesome.

[langelog]

I'm surprised at all the people who object to this, everybody loved Legion as a squadmate in ME2, would a darkspawn be so bad? Other than the two main reasons I'm reading as to why a darkspawn ally is a bad idea, I really don't see why it would be such a terrible thing, it couldn't possibly ruin the game, and for those who are intrigued by the awakened darkspawn this is a dream come true. I always found the Geth cool, and when I was given the chance to fight along side one I was thrilled. Bioware's idea for Legion a stupid idea, no. The idea for an awakened darkspawn companion stupid, absolutley not.

[Legion 2.5]

Darkspawn companion for DA2.

Good point, that seems to be the only ammo other than the fact he is an "evil" being, to deny a darkspawn companion to join team Hawke. The likleyhood of Hawke falling to darkspawn corruption is very slim, and as I said before, it would be cool if the awakened darkspawn had a personal quest in which you seek out the Architect for help or search for any of his research that may prove useful in countering the spread of the taint. On this note, not all darkspawn are evil, some can be masked heros, like the messenger.

I don't like the idea, but if I HAVE to have one, I want it to be an ogre..



Hey big fella, go open that locked door for me.. now kill that puny mage. thanks..

Isn't that just using continuity to outweigh game lore?

[joriandrake]

wasn't there some heroic darkspawn in one of the expansions who traveled across the world saving people?

Yes, in the Awakening expansion, when Amaranthine is attacked the Architect sends a messenger, if he is spared and freed, he travels the land as a masked hero.
