yes they are a staple.....
on the other hand I am not super sure I'd want them to bring back Vigilance in DA2

Wait - haven't the devs been touting the fact that DA2 is going to import our choices from DAO?
And now, someone who is dead - which I think should be flagged somewhere, no? - might come back to life if the devs think there's a good enough reason?
Really?
In any case, if you don't see a corpse, no problem.

True...a new sword, better, faster, stronger!
THE DEATHHAWKE!
..no that sounds silly.
THE HAWKINBIRD!
no-no, still silly.
THE HAWKITY HAWKE HAWKE
....yeah I'm not sure how to add 'Hawke' to a sword name without it sounding rediculous.

He did say that there would have to be an explanation. ie (my example not Mr. Gaider's) since we didn't see Alistair executed by Anora, it would be fairly easy to bring him back with a story of escape. If he lost his soul slaying the archdemon, then probably not so likely. Pretty hard to handwave that. Doesn't mean there isn't a way, though. I just haven't thought of one.

Eh, if you've played BG1 and BG2, you'd know they brought back quite a few characters that could have been killed off in BG1. And its likely they have the telemetry data to give an inclination as to how many people killed off X companion and all that.

Yup - and it was cheap then, too.
Either say "we're going to do whatever we want" and leave it at that, or tell us "we're factoring in and importing your choices" and mean it.

I think people are assuming that Gaider means they are bringing back random people from the dead likety-split. He said that the data on the Bio-side shows them what they can get away with in terms of percentage of who did what. Plus, "did we see him die onscreen?".

Actually, bringing back people as undead in DA2 would be hysterical. Have a whole mob made up of all the people your Warden killed in DAO come shambling up the street as Hawke watches in horror.

Oh, I saw his quote, and he did say they'd need an explanation - but he also said "even if that's just a handwave".
Basically, I read his post as saying "if we think it's important to bring the character back, we will".
I mean, yes, Alistair can be explained - but the PC may kill Wynne on 2 separate occassions . . .the PC may watch Loghain be beheaded - or do it him/herself. The PC may kill Zev . . or Leli . . or Nate.
Now, I'm not saying everyone did these things in every game, or that the majority of people did, or even that I did - but IMO, bringing back a character who was clearly and unequivocally killed, just because the devs think the character is important, cheapens the franchise. If they were that important, make them unkillable, like, say Morrigan or only vaguely "on their way to be killed" like Ali.

I hope no characters return because i didn't have the patience to finish that gay game Origins. Bioware knows where it's at and where the money is at ! They have expanded to new audiences!
