Do we know anything about this yet? Is there a chance some party members from DA:O can become party members in DA2? Or will no one make a return?

I haven't kept an eye on this game.

Thanks.

I heard that Alistair's voice actor said something about coming back in DA 2.

It's all based on desisions you made in DA:O is what I heard.

I know that's the most logical thing to happen, but do you have any proof this will be the case?

Alistair is confirmed to have a cameo, depending on your choices.

Flemeth will have a cameo.

In one of the PAX chats, David Gaider said Sten won't be back, at all.

As for previous party members being party members again, I doubt it since all of them can die in DAO. If there are, they'll probably just be temporary. (I think David Gaider said, some will be cameos, some will be more).

The most expensive part of abioware game is voicing a character, there is no sense spending money ona character that might very wellnot be available to a lot of people....not inthe form of a full on party member at least. Cameo is acceptable tho

Maybe it's like they did with Wrex in ME 2.
Lets say someone sends the Antivan Crows after you.
Now when you spared Zevran he might come to save and some unique dialogue comes into place with you being Fereldan and all, and when you killed Zevran. Meh... No dialogue for you.

Maybe I'm the only one thinking this but I think that's a bit cheap... you spent all of your time with the characters in DA:O and they will only return as a cameo in the sequel, if you're lucky.

I do understand it is a very hard thing to do though and you can't please everyone.
Guess Mass Effect 3 will do the same thing... bye bye Garrus for Mass Effect 3 *sigh*.

I think what's a really dumb design choice is that they make major character killable. It just decreases their chance of coming back for the sequel. Look at the Witcher, NONE of the major characters (which people love) are killable, and almost every last one will be back for the sequel. Same goes for Deus Ex

Guess Mass Effect 3 will do the same thing... bye bye Garrus for Mass Effect 3 *sigh*.

I'm usually a pessimist, but I still have hopes for ME3. But that's for another forum

Alistair ends up going to Weisshaupt in a lot of epilogues. Perhaps we will see him passing through.

I think it most people's saves Alistair is king so IMO that's the only cameo we get. It's the most likely one

I think that he could be encountered as a wandering drunk.

King Alistair ends up going to Weisshaupt though, if I recall, not Warden Alistair. But chances are if he's alive, there will be a cameo for those players. I wonder if he will show up for folks who don't import their Origins/Awakening characters?

But so far we have very little to go on in terms of who will show up again. We know Morrigan is pretty much out and Sten. Other companions can die. There might be some returning NPCs but I doubt it will be many since there won't be much reason for Fereldans to travel to the Free Marches unless they are refugees.

Personally I'm hoping for a Fergus cameo, so we can get a glimpse of what happened to him during most of Origins.

Fergus! What a bum! Where was he during the WHOLE blight?



as for cameos and returning characters, I am hoping to see Shale in dwarf form. That to me just seems great. I'd also like to see Velanna, Justice or Nathaniel Howe from Awakening return.

If its anything like ME2 it could be anyone who make an appearance providing you didnt kill em off during some event.

Although about the Wardens companions, either way i gues. Replaying DAO/A and keeping most alive for some possible exstra fun in DA2 is your best bet (for me anyway). A lesson learned from my insane renegade in ME1>ME2. xD

That's quite the assumption. If we really want to bring a character back, we'll bring them back-- regardless of what may or may not have happened in DAO (particularly in an epilogue). That doesn't mean ignoring the possibilities, but it does mean that sometimes what you think happened/will happen isn't always the case.

Loghain would be awesome to see again. Why does a shallow character like Morrigan become so important while someone with such a complex personality as Loghain does not? Such a shame :(

Hmm...so that means that the followers or NPC in Dragon Age 2 may not appear in Dragon Age 3, and so on...
Am I right, Mr. Gaider?

I don't get how you derive that from what I said. What I said was that, even if a character could possibly die in the course of a story (or after it) we'll still bring them back if we want to badly enough. Yes, any character might not reappear in a potential sequel as well, but I'd say that's a given.

Oh, I get it now!
Thanks Mr. Gaider. It would be nice to see some characters reappear in potential sequels, a la Mass Effect, where Tali and Garrus are still part of the crew, but that wouldn't make much sense...
Who knows. Here's one hoping that Morrigan re-appears in a future game.

Oops.

I'd rather not have that if the character is dead in my save file to be honest. It would frustrate me and ruin the credibility of my story.

Still, thank you for posting here David Gaider, I truly appreciate that.

If we were to bring back a character that might be dead, chances are we'd provide an explanation. It'd be a hand-wave, sure, but I doubt we'd ignore the possibility outright. I think there's a limit to how much we'd want to do that, of course-- dead should mean dead, whenever possible.
