UPDATE: Now, according to the very gracious Gashington, here, the very scene that's screencapped first at the bottom has Aveline and Bethany there, but no Carver. Varric is supposed to be there, too, but I guess he's cut off right under the camera (zing!). Which is delightful for speculation....and if Aveline is the one we must pick between, that probably means she's not a LI.

The screencap below doesn't reveal who the third or fourth party members are; at this point, Isabela is not in your party. Assuming that Varric is there, as well, this would mean Aveline or Bethany should be somewhere. It might also be possible to come out with any combination of two people, which would explain the last screenshot on the page.

It's worth noting this player was playing as a rogue.

So, after having a bit of a chat here, Nic-V brought up that Carver might be available only to Mage Hawke's and Bethany to Warrior or Rogue Hawke's.

The more I thought about it, the more it made sense to me--in every demo we've heard a breakdown of thus far, mages haven't been playable. In every demo, it's reported back that Carver inevitably dies, and you have no control over the situation.

The ever devious David Gaider told us that's what happened in their playthroughs, at least. The rest of us sat wondering, then why has no one reported back saving him?

In the recent Rise to Power trailer, we can see Carver in the background with Isabela. This was immediately noted as meaning that Carver can survive past the prologue--but how? It was also noticed that in some leaked gameplay footage saw no Mama Hawke in the background talking to Flemeth. Some of us assumed that meant we had to make the choice between the two, despite never being offered that choice in the game, and despite Mama Hawke being a sort of NPC mechanic like Yeoman Chambers (nix stripping), collecting your mail and telling you what you needed to do and when.

When I went through a frame-by-frame of the Rise to Power trailer, I found this:

That certainly seems like a twisted staff on Hawke's back--with Carver in the background. Also, Isabela looks really pretty there. What do you think?

Nightcobra brought up this particular instance:

Both Carver and Bethany running away in what appears to be Kirkwall with no Mama Hawke, and Hawke in peasant's garb with no weapon. Most interesting...

EDIT: We see Hawke in that same get-up doin' some Murder Knifin', if that's of any relevance to anyone...

There's also this shot of Bethany, Varric, and Warrior Hawke.

There's already another thread on the top page regarding this subject. I suggest using it rather than necro'ing an old one.
