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.

Look anyone who could die in DAO and DAAis not coming baack and if they are it's going to be a cameo

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.

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.

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.

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.

something like:

i'm pretty sure you were thrown off a cliff...

party member in question: i landed on a soft bed of leaves/ i fell on water/ i got better.

Possibly, though I imagine we'd do better if we could.

I think our willingness to bring a possibly-dead character back relates to how often they ended up dead in peoples' games. If they're dead in only a small minority of games, there's a better chance than if it was a very common thing... or if we couldn't come up with a non-lame explanation. Hand-waves only go so far, and like I said it's not something we'd want to over-indulge in, anyhow, considering this isn't a setting where death is trivial.

The problem with that would be, of course, if they keep it canon with your playthrough. I really hope so...

We do have situations in DA2 where someone being dead in DAO means you simply won't see them again, period. We also have situations where a living character from DAO has a different appearance based on how they ended up.

All I'm saying is that someone who is dead might be alive, if we feel it's worthy and have an explanation-- even if that explanation is a hand-wave. That is not to be taken as "all dead characters will have their death ignored". It's to be taken as "we will exert our narrator perogative if we feel it's necessary."

Err... I meant "appearance" as in how they appear in the game, not in how they physically look.
