I think we might also get temporary companions, like Nathaniel Howe. And in that one screenshot where the group is fighting spiders, there's a qunari mage. He looks like he's also fighting spiders, but who knows...

And this 7 or 8 figure is based upon...?

Did you even pay attention? The number of companions.

[SammyJB17]

Don't forget Bioware's standard "Secret" companion. Legion, Loghain, people that you can only recruit near the end of the game. So 9, plus any other characters from DLC or that we don't know about. That's a hefty sum.

No, no. I know that - I'm just wondering where people get the impression that the companions yet revealed are the only ones there are.

[RedRoo]

I'd rather have seven (or eight) great, memorable, super personable companions than a smorgasbord of bland filler party members. I'm looking at you, BG.

[Yrkoon]

It's an ideal number. Two of each class is perfect.

Then you can assume it's based off confirmed companions at the point this thread was made. Don't need to try and act all superior like.


EDIT; Came off more Hostile then I liked, sorry.

I want a full mage party.



Me want! Me want now! Me smash not get!

[TransientNomad]

Hey, the Suikoden series got it right and you all know it! 108 companions FTW!

I have a hard enough time picking a haircut for a character. The idea of picking anything from 108 makes me nauseous and gives me vertigo.

Recruiting Loghain would be nothing compared to recruiting Luca Blight.

[elearon1]

My only concern is that very few of the companions have really interested me so far. Merrill, Isabella, Bethany and Varric are the only one's who seem remotely interesting, and I'm not so sure about Merrill or Bethany, really ...



Ah well, I only really liked Leliana, Zevran and Oghren in DA:O, so I guess that's about par for the course.



(Actually, I suspect I'm not as excited about any of the companions because, by this time in DA:O we had the nifty cinematic intros for each of them - same with ME2 - which really gave you something to sink your teeth into ... we don't have that here, so they seem less compelling by comparison)

[namedforthemoon]

Sebastian seems interesting to me. And Varric, of course, because everyone knows by this point that I'm a huge Varric fan.



I think it will be more interesting if our companions have more than one personal quest to fulfill. I kind of got the impression from something I read that our companions would have more than a single quest, so I'm excited about that.

[dgcatanisiri]

I think that Bethany/Carver, Varric, Merrill, Isabela, Fenris, Aveline, the other mage, and Sebastian are the full-time party members, and you'll encounter occasional 'guest' party members, who tie into the plot - It's interesting that the logo has several different silhouettes and the party is apparently so limited. I figure those are either important players in the game or guest members who we're required to have due to the plot.

He's been said to have his own quests and dialogue.  I fail to see how he "doesn't count".  He can be a party member.

And Shale.  I don't see why DLC characters wouldn't count.  You don't have to have get them, but they still can be party members.

Agreed. Also, the whole "own quests, can follow you through most of the game, includes dialogue" thing really gives a lot of credence to further suggest Seb may be romanceable. Look:

Isabela - companion > bi LI > has own quests > has own dialogue
Sebastian - companion > possible bi LI > has own quests > has own dialogue

If this did pan out, mind, everyone would have an equal amount of LI's (2 straight, 2 bi, 1 bonus bi). Nobody could say they're being shortchanged an LI, so again, I fail to see the problem. The only difference as far as I can tell is that you have to cough up $7 if you didn't preorder the SE. That's hardly deserving of this "gay for pay" crap I've been seeing around the forums. With that said, even if you didn't get the DLC, you'd just be minus 1 bonus bi LI; still even as far as romances go.

Eh... maybe I'm just fooling myself. Am I fooling myself or do you folks know something I don't? Guess we'll know the answer when the game comes out, and you better believe I look forward to being right, because Maker knows I'm tired of being left. *shakes fist*

EDIT: added some extra text as I forgot something right after posting.

I didn't get the impression of him/her acting superior-like at all. I too find it pretty annoying when fans state things based on speculation like they're fact before the game has come out. If an employee at Bioware had indeed said, "These are all the party members there will be," that would be a different story.

That's good. They spread the butter too thin on the bread with ME2 I think

Agreed!  They were all interesting in their own right, too, but because so many you never did get the impression you knew them very well at all.  

Can it wait for a bit? I'm in the middle of some callibrations.

I love ME2 and found it's cast to be one of the best Bioware has put out, but I still agree with this.

Oh and @Namedforthemoon: I've gotten the impression the new dog is akin to the ranger pets of DAO, it appears when you blow the whistle and returns 'from whence it came' after. Not quite the same sadly!

Put me down as a fan of temporary companions (when used to good effect and in moderation anyway). If for instance it allowed us a deeper understanding of a character who would otherwise be unnavailable over the ten year period then I'd love to see some of that.

One of the devs hinted at it in the thread about him, saying something along the lines of "You have to pick all the flirt lines and see" Although, they could be playing with our emotions again.

[Eclipse_9990]

What? 7 or 8 isn't enough for you?

[crimzontearz]

no one is counting the trusty mabari LOL



I know he is probably going to be just a summonable attack turret but I like to imagine him as my Hawke's best friend

[HolyAvenger]

DLC = not in vanilla game = optional content, hence shouldn't be considered part of the base companion numbers.



I doubt they'd make a bi LI and not put him/her in the game as a lot of people wouldn't even download it hence a lot of effort for little return.

[Evelane]

only???.. damn i think you did a mistake..

EMH MEH.. let me correct that

SO WRE GETTING 7 PARTY MEMBER AWSOME! ;D

i mean anyway we cant only 4 man party anyway ...

so you have enough option to be abble to restart a new game without taking any of the char you took the first time.. and the time after bring all your favorite.. or tried the one you didint yet.. for me .. 7/8 its way more then enough.. since we can take them in a party all at the same time.. so we can start over and again and again and always have different option.. ^^
