Oh, and Varric is going to be the only male LI. Live with it.

LOL. By the Maker, someone give this poster an award. I almost choked on a cookie for laughing so hard. *wipes tears from eyes*

Really now, I don't think Bioware wishes to invoke the wrath of a lot of female gamers by only giving us Varric.

Considering Varric is quite dashing, with a suave and charmingpersonality, and that he's voiced by Brian Bloom, I don't really believe females would be that angered. He's like a short Han Solo.
I mean, I'm considering making my first run with a LadyHawke just to get a good hard dwarven meat hunk.

I just had a sudden thought. Maybe Hawke's father will be a companion? He was said to be a mage after all. We've already got two family companions however, so I'm not sure. (I wouldn't mind a kick-ass aunt)

Many good story employs grief as a catalyzing motivator. If Hawke's mother doesn't die, I believe the story will be a bit drab.

They should give you a loyal dog - or maybe a child! - and brutally kill it off. Good storytelling is all about murdering innocents the audience empathizes with.

And all LIs should be terminally ill. And Hawke should be forced to sacrifice him/herself or his/her best friend in the end.

I hear there are no m/m relationships in the game.

Well, I hear that they cut all relationships between consonants. It's vowels only in DA2. So my sources claim.

So are the "y"s getting lopped in with the consonants or the vowels?  /grammar humor

That depends on whether they're human or Welsh Dalish.

Perhaps Hawke's Father was an elf, that would be cool. But otherwise it would be yet another human companion.

Seeing as how after playing the demo I just can't see Bethany being killable at the start of the game (she is the only other character to appear in Varric's exaggeration alongside Hawke amongst other things)

Perhaps if you play as a Mage Hawke, it is Carver that appears in the exaggeration with you. I personally believe as of now that it will be a Bethany/Carver decision based on class, though I sincerely hope I am wrong. The only evidence otherwise is a screenshot that is assumed to include both of them after Lothering, which might not even be the case. If we saw the demo from Mage Hawke's perspective, or a screenshot of Mage Hawke and Bethany in Kirkwall, I'd be happy.

In terms of the OP, I realy don't think that will be the scenario as I think a lot of people have covered. The only permanent companions revealed have been Isabela, Varric and Aveline. I would expect 4 or 5 more.

[Tinxa]

So far the only partymembers I'm sure about are Varric and Isabela.

I think at least two of Bethany, Carver or Aveline will say goodbye and go live in their new Kirkwall house when the player gets access to permanent companions. Maybe Carver and Bethany decide to stay with mother while Hawke starts adventuring or Aveline joins Kirkwall military and becomes a questgiver type of character. The page says characters not party members so Aveline may not be permanent.

[Johnny Chaos]

no im pretty sure aveline is a companion, bw confirmed it

[Maria Caliban]

Nope, it's not confirmed she's a permanent party member. It's heavily implied, but it's never been outright stated.

[Tinxa]

They also did a Mhairi companion video and that didn't work out

At this point, it's pretty safe to assume that every party member (especially Varric) is temporary-under-circumstance.

I think besides obviously it being odd to miss out on one of the main races. We will have an Elf because doesn't Kirkwall have a fairly large alienage? I bet we will get a Elf companion who grew up in the alienage.

I want a Circle elf who has been treated fairly all their life. What happens to them once they leave the Tower is irrelevant, but I can only take so much Velanna.

Yeah I wouldn't mind seeing that, certainly don't expect the Elf to be a Keeper after Velanna. I do think an Elven warrior is most likely however, and it's what I'd most like to see. Although typically I'd also most like to see said warrior focusing on duel wielding...

I think there is a good chance the Elf will be Dalish presuming Hawke considers delivering Flemmeth's package a priority, it would mean we come into contact with them relatively soon. I wouldn't have thought it would be an Alienage Elf as we'll have two rogues by then and it seems unlikely a warrior or mage would come from there. The Circle is a distinct possibility though considering the fact another Mage seems likely and Kirkwall's Circle seems important.

It wasn't just the exaggeration though, it was a general feeling I got playing that demo. Bethany just seems more involved than Carver, who I didn't really get an impression of at all. Plus someone posted their own thoughts on the demo and got a chance to play as the Mage, and they didn't mention a different opening (unless I'm remembering wrong, it's hard to keep track, so take with a pinch of salt I guess).

With that said it seems likely that the demo 'level' has undergone big changes since the version we've seen, it's possible the whole thing happens differently. As it is changing the escape so drastically just due to Hawke's class doesn't make sense to me, not considering the way Carver dies.

Maybe we'll have to kill the sheep in DA2.

[David Gaider]

There are still characters (some of them party members) that we have yet to announce, who you haven't seen the slightest hint of yet. And some of the ones we have announced probably don't fulfill the role some of you seem to assume they do.



Food for thought.

Yes, for the circle elf. They are supposed to be equal in the circle and we haven't seen any except one elven mage in the mage origin. I find it odd that all NPC mages are human.

But I also think a dalish elf partymember is likely because of the Flemeth quest. I think it will be a male warrior since Varric and Isabela are rogues and we already had 2 female dalish partymembers in expansions. He may even be a LI

We met two, in fact. The one senior mage, and the one that serves as exposition for the elves. Aneirin sort of counts.

I think it's odd, too. Elves are supposed to be more magically-inclined than humans, and even if you account for Dalish elves and the likelihood that elven mage children are more likely to be killed than human mage children, that still doesn't explain why you only meet two.

Food for thought indeed. "we have announced probably don't fulfill the role some of you seem to assume they do."  I have a feeling your talking about Cassandra here

Well, we know we don't meet Cassandra until way towards the end of the game, so...

I haven't seen anyone assume anything about Cassandra, other than she's definitely not a party member at first.

What he means here is "Varric is not a love interest."

Mhairi was a little obvious though.

"Hey guys! Meet your new companion, potato sack. She's kind of pretty, right? Her dream is to become a grey warden! She comes from a nice family, too."

First thought was ser jory, did you just grow breasts?

Aveline, however, has some angst, an interesting situation, and an unusual appearance. I doubt that she isn't a recruitable companion as opposed to a temporary.

EDIT: holy batman, I should rephrase that before I confuse people.
"My bet is that Aveline won't be a temporary. I think she'll be a recruitable companion, like Leliana."

He could be talking about Varric. We all assume he's a permanent partymember because he's telling the story but what if he's NOT
or Carver and Bethany everyone assumes Hawke will go adventuring with at least one of his familymembers when they could all just stay in Kirkwall and not get in any further danger.
