Could be Wynne? Wasn't she in Cumberland which is near the Free Marches during Awakenings...?

[jackkel dragon]

Silas. That bloke is too sneaky to be done. No background, doesn't talk about the future (except joining the Chantry). He needs to be in DA2.

While Nate and possibly Anders are suitable for making an appearance in the game, I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to be full-time companions, as they'd both need to be back in Ferelden by the time of Awakening, which would be rather early in DA2. Of course, Mike might've meant temporary companions and not full-time ones, who knows.

Timeskips are in DA2 for a reason. Awakening is suppose to take place in a short period of time. That period of time could take place during a timeskip. Problem Solved.

I actually figure Lothering to Kirkwall (the whole Blight part of the story) is going to be pretty darn quick - kind of Origin length quick - learn the game quick. So there's no real problem with timing IMO. Awakenings is supposed to happen AT LEAST six months after the end of Origins (considering if you're HNF your wedding has taken place and they say your wedding is six months after the end of the Blight) and travel time around Amaranthine could have the whole of Awakenings taking less than a month. Plus which I don't think time is on the top of the list for things they need to be completely consistent with.

Agh, Maker have mercy.    Please let that not be one of our mage choices.

No, it's not. Because, after Awakening, both Anders and Nathaniel remain as Grey Wardens; they can't just leave to help Hawke rise to power. Except for a brief journey to the Circle of Magi to hold lessons on The Architect, Anders remains with the grey wardens assuming he doesn't die or is turned in to the templars. Nate has a similar ending assuming he doesn't die (though depending on circumstances, he will also save Teyrn Fergus Cousland's life at some point).

Don't get me wrong, I loved both characters, but out of a story perspective, having them return as full-time companions simply don't make sense unless BioWare retconned their epilogues (which still doesn't remove the possibility of them being temporary companions in the game or DLC). And why bother retconning previous story details only to bring back grey wardens (who're sworn to battle the darkspawn, not help some refugee seize power in a big city) who may or may not be dead in a lot of playthroughs, when you could instead write a new character whom you can decide when and how he/she will appear, or make use of an underdeveloped (but interesting) DLC character?

Lets see...
Shale: DLC character, very easy to accidently kill in DA:O: Unlikely
Sten: I dunno enough about him to make the call. I would guess he's one of the likelier ones.
Leliana: Could die in DA:O in a number of ways. Unlikely although extreme popularity may help.
Alistair: Won't happen. Either king or a bum.
Wynee: Just not popular.
Oghren: Already had a prime spot, but beloved by devs and tough to kill. Fair...
Morrigan: It's official she is not in right?
Zevran: Could die WAY to easily. Very unlikely.
Dog: Maybe? Hard to fit into story though...

My bets on Oghren, Sten, or Dog... not counting awakening cast.

Its possible could be returning as a cameo or something. But somehow I doubt it will be a party member. Also I don't think they would bring Oghren in again, it would start to get predictable. I think they'll mix things up a little bit. I'm willing to put my money on Morrigan because of the plot device growing in her stomach, and Zevran also. Why? Just cus.

Yep. We seem to be lacking a mage now, and we've seen a screenshot of someone looking alarmingly like Anders. I don't think it's a giant leap to the assumptions.

Please show me this screenshot

may i be of service?



in za right


even if he is not Anders he might still be a companion, considering he's standing besides Aveline and Bethany, and all the known companions are in sight...and more than 3 to call it the party...

*hopes for Anders or Sigrun*

Or Sten of course, but I doubt it'll be him sadly.

Edit: It would be amusing if Anders goes off to appear in Awakening, only to come back with Sir Pounce A Lot.

Anders, didn't he join Isabela's crew after Awakening?

[Shepard Lives]

Sten is not appearing in DAO, Gaider said it a couple months ago.

[TheHawkeWhoFlies]

*entering nitpicking mode* His hair color seems off and it's way too short to be Anders. Arguably, that could just be redesign, but keep in mind that there's been other characters who looked very similar to one another. And not only may it not be Anders, he might not even be a companion; he could be the Amell family's butler for all we know *laughs maniacally as the fangirls get in uproar*

[Mad Method]

I was pretty sure the "returning origins party member" was confirmed for a few months.

Here's a list of DAO party members and viability as DA2 party members:
Alistair- Either has a country to run, is a lush, or is just being a regular old warden. Not likely to show up and be a party member.
Leliana- Is free to go, assuming she doesn't commit suicide in the wake of your lover warden's heroic sacrifice.
Wynne- Does not have 10 years to live.
Sten- Will be invading or AWOL.
Zevran- Could be available, but should be way too busy with Crow business.
Shale- Is available.
Dog- Does not have 10 years to live.
Oghren- Is available, but this fan unfavorite has inspired enough hate as is.

I'd bet on Leliana because she's rather well-liked and her epilogues usually end in "she goes off adventuring some more."

the hair colour could be off...fenris looks like he ate too much spinach. as for it being short...maybe it's just really pulled back?

[Hawksblud]

Sigrun, Nathaniel, or Anders would make me a very happy camper. Wynne... eh, not so much, sorry.

I cant even begin to imagine the forum rage if Wynne were the only Origins companion to make an appearance.

[Skadi_the_Evil_Elf]

If Bioware knows what's good for them, it better be Ser Pounce-a-Lot.

[lydlyd]

I hope it'll be Anders, but it might be Nathaniel too. They did make that comic strip about him, I was under the impression that he'd have a larger role in the grand scheme of things.

[Altima Darkspells]

Ooo, ooo, I hope it's Lily or Mouse.



Other than that, I'd say Shale is the most likely.



Honestly, though, I wouldn't be too upset if any character showed up again. Aside from Morrigan, of course, because I'm tired of her.



Crap, it's gonna be Morrigan, isn't it?

Ya, speak for yourself. You don't know he's a fan unfavorite. You know players hardcore enough to frequent Dragon Age forums are DIVIDED on him. Nothing more. And hardcore fans like you or me are a very small portion of the playerbase and not by anymeans a good representation of the whole.

He may be far more popular among the more casual crowd.

[packardbell]

Morrigan.



She's the only one not guaranteed to die.
