And Miranda's "pants" were painted on.  Worrying about what FNC may or may not do isn't strictly relevent. 

I guarantee you the reason is, "because she looks cool this way." There's really not a lot to it, you know. Unless there was a meeting where Sheryl Chee sat down with the art department and carefully explained why it wouldn't make sense for Isabela to wear pants, I'm going to go with the they liked how it looked option.

Ander's explained the no pants thing in Awakening. Plus you know it's comfortable.

She should have been a new character.

[chop suey]

Was she ever planned to be a companion in origins?

Such opinions are quite easily dismissed due to the fact we don't know how the fact she's "that" Isabela will be utilized in DA:2. 

If the links to DA:O are tenuous at best, guess what, you'll have a point.

If the links to DA:O inform on her character and make her arc more interesting, you'll be wrong. 

Until we know, you've got very little to base your opinion on besides your assumptions.

The only cut companion I ever heard about was Jowan.  But I didn't visit the forums back in those days so I could be wrong.

i don't know if it counts for something but in the trailer, isabela is only shown when hawke is with the "spiky" armor. maybe every single character has a fixed costume in the exaggerated sections and this is isabela's.

Good for a quick romp. Really suits Isabela.

I really think it will be her "base" outfit, sort of like Morrigan's equally absurd stylized garb.

I thought she was an interesting and intriguing character in DA:O, despite her limited role. I wonder if we'll finally get to see the actual ship.

[Onyx Jaguar]

So is t his gonna be a dread pirate Roberts situation or has any developer confirmed that that is suppose to be Isabela from DA:O

[AndrahilAdrian]

Isabela's return could mean a Zevran cameo.

Anders could make a small appearence too. Considering what ending you got in Awakening.

Different actress, but she "sounds the same."   I don't believe we know who the VA is yet but it is supposedly their first appearance in a Bioware game.

Nope, but according to the devs she doesn't sound too different.

No. The old VA was the same one who did Anora. They didn't want two major characters to have the same voice. She sounds similar though.

no the VA is different, mostly because the VA for origins's isabella being voiced by the same VA who voiced anora so they'll try to differentiate from that using another VA more suitable to isabela's character.
