On a DA3 pick your own companions thread, this was what I posted

If Hawke is the main protagonist:

Merrill (I romanced her, so I feel she needs to return)
Varric (He's in a bromance with Hawke)
Sten (I have a feeling he'll be the new Arishok)
Anders (obvious story reasons, assuming people let him live. Otherwise, some new character or your Grey Warden sibling I guess)
Isabella (her new ship seems like the most likely way for everyone to escape Kirkwall)
Arianne (no real reason)
Finn (he's travelling with Arianne now)
Cassandra (I know we're not supposed to include her, but I seriously see her being a party member)

If the Warden is the protagonist:

Morrigan (romanced her, did the OGB ritual, and went through the Eluvian with her)
Leliana (also romanced her. What can I say? My Warden loves them both)
Female Tal-Vashoth Warrior
Fenris (now that he's free from Danarius, he's seeing the world on his own terms)
Alistair (it's his best buddy!)
Connor (the Warden helped him, and he feels he owes him a debt)
Cassandra (again, she's got potential. Plus I see her being a companion anyway)

New protagonist (Maybe a Seeker?):

Velanna (romanceable)
Nathaniel (romanceable. If you don't romance him or Velanna, he romances Velanna)
Silas Corthwaite (from Leliana's song.)
Cassandra (romanceable)
Varric (romanceable)
Sigrun (we need some perky dwarven goodness)
Feynriel (he has mastered his powers, and can help greatly in the Mage war)

Personally, I see DA3 playing out as the Warden and Hawke return and side with whatever side Hawke sided with, which the Seeker is a part of. Then, an army forms, and you can choose to play either as your Warden, Hawke, or a new character. But all three groups will be seen in the army and you'll be operating out of a main army camp. Does that make sense? I'll try to explain it better if it doesn't.

I'd also like to see a Desire spirit companion, but she's not evil like the rest of them. She just wants to actually see the world and since she's a desire spirit, have sex. She is honest in her vow not to bring destruction.

Though I doubt it will ever happen. Still, I'm an optimist.

Demons are 'evil'. So far as I can tell there are no noble demons in the Dragon Age universe.

This is sort of like saying, 'I would like a racist character who accepted all races and treated them as equals'. Doesn't really work.

Isabela would make the most sense even though I despise her. The plot armor is strong with her.

Why's that?
She's a optional character and has alot of possible endings, i doubt bioware would want to tangle all that up.

Well, they brought Leliana back for a couple of cameos and she was a completely optional character who could end up dead in the first game. I don't see why they wouldn't do the same with Isabela. (Besides which, Isabela was also in DA:O...)

I voted for Isabela, I'd have voted for Aveline as well if I could have. They're my two favorites.

ETA: I hope that DA3 has a completely new protagonist, and that the disapperances of the Warden and Hawke are simply the plot drivers (ie: New Protagonist is trying to work out what happened to them). I can't see how they'd work the game otherwise, to be honest. So I expect a new cast, with maybe cameos by NPCs from the first two games.

I said spirit though. not Demon. If we have spirits like Justice and Faith, bring in one that is the opposite of the evils of desire. Bring in Love.

[ashyraine]

How about the return of Sigrun? I kind of missed seeing female dwarves in DA2! I also miss Oghren. In fact I'd settle for Oghren in a dress

Isn't a desire 'spirit', a demon regardless? The benevolent spirits are named after virutes, I don't think desire is one of them.

Sure, I'm not saying that she can't be in the next title, I'm saying that i don't find her to be the most likely.

Most Likely in my Opinion: Sibling or Varric.
Least Likely: Anders

fair point. Desire is more of a vice, so I worded it poorly. How's this?

ok, then give us a spirit of love that looks the same as a spirit of desire. Since we've only seen two spirits of virtue, it's hard to define appearance-wise what all spirits look like. She comes to the mortal world completely (like Justice, but without possessing a corpse) and she holds her complete form (we know this can be done. The Baroness did this). And she shapeshifts herself to look like a human/elf.

class: Mage

Honestly I don't think you can make that judgement on the basis of whether or not a character is optional.

I personally think Isabela is popular enough to come back in DA3. Anders is more than popular enough too. (Besides which, the Sibling is just as optional as Isabela, perhaps more so. Especially considering that which one survives the start of the game depends on Hawke's class, and neither one is a permanent fixture in the party.)

[ZeroDragon980]

I would like to see Shale in DA3, and a non dlc companion, besides she was an effective tank to replace Alistair with. Maybe even Wyne would be nice to have back, Her abilities as a spirit healer were actually better then what the player could do.

Isabela could be back in DA3 for many reason, the most prominent being that she is a pirate, who sails a ship all over the sea, but I have noticed that she is a likable character.

To me Anders should be removed completely, even if you do not kill him at the end of DA2 He just doesn't seem to me to be a useful companion, character for a camo.

Oghren would be cool to have back. I mean who wouldn't want a drunk Berserker running around in the party, lets not forget his colorful dialog too.

But honestly all the notable people in DAO, DAO: Awakenings, and DA2, would have to fit into the storyline for DA3 before they can even be considered for some sort of role.

[Terminatort800]

Well I'll say it like this:

from DA:O: Morrigan, Leliana,...
from DA 2: Isabela, Merrill, Varric

[Icy Magebane]

Well, I voted for Fenris, but if we're talking about the most likely to return, that's probably Isabela, what with the swearing of vengeance and escape plans and possible romance and whatnot. Bioware obviously has another role for her in mind, or she would have been sent to Par Vollen and given Qamek when she refused to calm the hell down. But yeah, I voted for who I wanted to see, and of the DA2 companions, that would be Fenris.

From DAO: Alistair and Morrigan
From DA2: Anders and Sebastian

[nos_astra]

DAO: Leliana, Alistair
DA2: Sebastian, Cullen, maybe Isabela

Isabela makes the most sense IMHO, since she didn't get killed and likes to travel. So I assume that it's possible to meet her again somewhere else.

In addition I'd like to see Alistair, Leliana and Morrigan return.

[mya11]

DAO : Alistair, Morrigan and Leliana
DAO 2 : Fenris and Isabella

You seem determined only to read part of what i write.
I guess it comes down to opinion.

What i base my opinions is not popularity but story wise possibilities.
Your surviving sibling may die in the deep roads, if so then s/he just isn't there. Then they can have two backgrounds each for the next game. Templar/Warden or Circle/Warden where you can have Bethany killed as a circle mage.
Fenris seems to be pretty open, you can hand him over to Denarius and you can kill him in the end or his friendship is high enough/you side with templars and he stays.
Merrill will always be there if you friendship/rivalry her enough, she too is very open, she is unsure of what to do and is only part of the final battle because of loyalty to Hawke.
Anders story is finished. I'm very sure of this, he either dies before the final battle or he will be constantly on the run. Of course if he is spared and romanced he will be on the run with Hawke which is where a open slot for LI would be great because all the LI's seems possbile in a new game.
Isabela is not as open as Fenris and Merrill. She's very tangled up in the act 2 plot and besides that optional like Fenris. She can be missed, handed over to the Qunari, handed over to Velasco i she does return with the relic in the first place. If none of those are taken she will stay loyal to Hawke in the end.
Varric is always there for Hawke, i guess that makes him likely, however in the end of the game you hear that he doesn't know where Hawke is, (does he lie?) so i doubt he will be more than a character you get in the end or perhaps just a cameo, frankly i would rather not, the DA:O cameos are horrible in DA:2..
Aveline is either friendshipped and has a new life in Kirkwall which i assume she keeps. If not then she's rivaled and can perhaps go back to ferelden. Either way she can't be killed as far as i know.

After writing this i suppose the most likely is Merrill and the least likely is Aveline?

/comment

[Morroian]

Varric, Isabela, Merrill and Aveline.

By the end of my fist play through I actively despised Anders and while I like Fenris overall he does grate a bit. OTOH I didn't expect to like Isabela and found myself loving her for much the same reason as Varric.

[GodWood]

New cast

[Gotholhorakh]

If it's like DA2, DA2 characters.

I'd personally prefer not to see the proper continuation of the Origins storylines until we see a game of the same family.

I'm not trying to be contentious, I just think that the only real saving grace of the decisions that went into DA2, was that they (largely) did not involve the Warden's story, so that it's been unsullied by the changes if you like.

Morrigan



oh and Leliana, Alistair, Varric & Isabela

[darkgriever26]

Hmmm this made me think actually in terms of story wise.

For Hawke's companions:
Anders - In my opinion, he can still have a part in DA3. If he sees the wrong doings he had done and lives, the other way he can contribute to help stop the chaos he has started is to help the main characters bring back the peace in Thedas. But in order to fully help bring back the peace in Thedas, he needs to find a way to change Vengeance back into his old friend Justice and just return him to the Fade. Maybe then, Justice will see reason that the "Justice" ideology only brought more chaos than good. And if he dies, I don't know anymore. I guess that would be the end or yet another dummy Anders so that he can escape [I don't know I was hoping to see his corpse when I killed him in one of my playthoughs but sadly, I did not find his corpse]. Or if he is a LI, then he'll be with Hawke. Too many possibilities...it would depend on one's playthrough in DA2.

Aveline - I don't know much about her but it would either be she went back to Ferelden to serve King Alistair or just went away somewhere. Most likely she would be back to Ferelden and would maybe have a minor role in DA3.

The Sibling [Carver or Bethany] depending on the playthrough, if they became a Grey Warden then you might see them again fighting darkspawn as they are tasked to do so [unless the Warden ordered the Grey Warden to help, then it's possible you'll see Hawke's sibling again]

Fenris - I'm not too sure about this but if he is not given back to Danarius [and he is a LI], he'll be back. Apart from that, I don't know much more in relation to his story since he is not a slave anymore and he is free. Or there's a possibility that he could have a minor role.

Isabela - Well it would make sense that in the ending of DA2, they used Isabela's ship to escape Kirkwall [or if in a playthrough she didn't get the ship, they escaped by other means]. If she is a LI then she'll be back. If not, I'm not sure about her part in the story. She could have a minor role though but I can't think of the other possibilities with Isabela.

Merrill - Well her story has not really ended because there may be other Dalish clans out there that she can go back to. Plus she might find the Elf Warden again [if the Warden is a Dalish elf] and could rebuild the clan once more after it is all done. Again, I can't think of the other possibilities for now.

Sebastian - Now if Anders lived, then most likely Sebastian will hunt him down to kill him to avenge the death of the Grand Cleric.In the end, he returned to Starkhaven and built an army if that would be the case. Or he could have a minor role by at least helping bring back the peace first before having pleasure to kill Anders after [I guess by then Anders would have peace in his mind(?)]. But if Anders died and he will not return, then I don't know what Sebastian would do next. He could possibly join the main character and help.

Varric - I know most of the players love this little dwarf and I'm guessing he has the possibility to come back. He might be lying that he doesn't know where Hawke went or if he's telling the truth, then possibly he could find Hawke again and join him and live to tell the tale once more.

For the Warden's companions: [have to make this short for now]
I'm guessing Morrigan has a major role to play in DA3 as well as Leliana. For the other companions like Alistair, Oghren, Sten, Zevran and Wynne I'm not too sure about them.

There are all just speculations. There's not yet a sure main plot for DA3 so we can't say for certain who will be back as companions and there's not even a story DLC yet for DA2 that could give us some more hints as to what will happen in DA3. But I hope there would be news faces [or fine old faces as well but not yet set as a companion before] to be included in DA3. And by the way, if not for story wise, I really just want Anders back with Aveline, Isabela and Varric. They are my most used companions [except for Isabela though I like her haha!]
