From what I've heard, we've been told  that companions will have, at best, a system with the depth of the Mass Effect 2 Shepard "inventory" system, meaning there's no (or very minimal) itemization (as outfit changes will be aestetic, with minor stat boosts given to us at best) for companions at least.

If, by good fortune (for my preferences), this doesn't translate to Hawke (I'm bracing myself for drastically mitigated looting, and perhaps even marginalized "Character Active Abilities" (for lack of a better word) in favor of player skill), it at least means that the idea of party based gameplay in Dragon Age is dead.  Since its been confirmed that companions have unique skillsets, its all but inevitable that companions will be vastly inferior to Hawke in combat, perhaps even to the point where Hawke falling in battle is an effectieve "GAME OVER!", with direct control of companions being nothing more than a gimmick.  It won't matter that we don't have a tank, since we have !THE HAWKE!...

In my opinion, this news regarding companions is of the worst kind, and, while its inevitable I'll be sent to a metaphorical hell by rapid/crusading Bioware apologists/loyalists (depending on which side of this argument you fall on), I believe I am not breaking any rules or laws by stating it.

Bear in mind, folks, that we are able to look at your post history and discover when you're painting a caricature of the opposing side simply to give your own side of an argument a strawman to rail against.



This would qualify as trolling.



Let's keep things civil and avoid turning this into Yet Another Console Versus PC thread.

I may have missed this post but,

if you want to look through my post history, you'll see that I've been against static companion inventory starting with its incorperation into ME2.


You are most certainly not the person I was referring to, don't worry!
