List of companions I want:
Oghren. He was unbelievably hilarious in his own drunken gimli-ish way. Definitely a fan-fave.
Bethany/Carver. They become an extra companion or possible canon (maybe) so that if you pick a default setting like in DA2 with the "no compromise" or "the martyr". Bethany was so sweet. Definite LI.
Possibly Cullen. Most people didn't like him in Origins, but he was new at his job. He seems to have grown up and is more reasonable.
Dog. You can't have a dragon age game without a dog.
Qunari. Either a Mage or specialist with bombs and a big sword. Sten, maybe?
Nathaniel. This guy needs to be fleshed out more.
Sigrun. This perky little dwarf was hilarious. You should be able to pick her up in the deep roads, unless she died. LI
Stroud. He might become a companion for the "task of importance" they had during act 2 of DA2. His moustache could make enemies die from laughter. Possible LI?
Non-companions.
Sandal and Bodahn. C-3PO and R2-D2. plus, I think sandal has something special in store for us.
Master Wade. This guy was completely awesome. He NEEDS to come back so he can make you more dragon related items.
Varric. This dwarf had a great run, but I feel he should be kept out of harm's way, cause he dosen't even know what's going down.
Old God Kid. He's gonna bring the pain.
Flemeth. I've got a feeling this big dragon is gonna start breathing some flames, if you know what I mean. Just listen to her epic monologues in DA2.
Hawke. Most likely not a companion because he/she just dosen't seem that way. His sibling could help you find him/her though.
Duncan. I know, that Bioware says he's dead, but frankly, I believe that as much as I believe Hawke was an astronaut, or the old god kid isn't canon. This epic beard is making a come-back.
PROTAGONIST: THE WARDEN. Bioware has said his/her story is far from done. He needs to set this shiat straight, and only he/she can do it. This guy/girl was kicking ass before Hawke was even heard of. And he's only about 32-35 by the time Cassandra questions Varric. The warden is back to stick a murder knife in some unlucky bastard's skull. And I've got a feeling they've got it coming.
