Honestly on the long list of minor characters who should have been companions Jowan is probably the lowest.
What we need in this game is more of Bann Teagan, Ser Cauthrine, and Gorim.
Really don't like Ser Cauthrien, maybe I haven't seen enough of her, but it's how I feel right now based on my interactions with her. Gorim is great, but I was happy in a poignant sort of way to hear about his family and all. But Bann Teagan and Cullen I loved to pieces, and I would love to interact with them more. Jowan, too, actually. I'm curious what happened to Lily.
And I really wished Daveth had survived the joining. I liked him. A lot. Not in a wanting to hump kind of way, but in a thinking he would make a great buddy sort of way.
A minor characters expansion DLC would be my dream come true, especially if you could end up with Bann Teagan or Cullen instead of Alistair/Zevran, sort of like you can end up with Anora if you're male, after a fashion. Would be good to do with Ser Cauthrien for others, I'd imagine. In Teagan's case, he was just so kind and serious and hated politics and seemed like such a good uncle, and in Cullen's I am an abolute sucker for the tortured guy who feels guilty for being attracted to you type. I would have LOVED to be able to see him again and try to help him get over the awful things he experienced in the tower. Particularly as a mage. That would've been a dream come true.
I'd also freaking LOVE a DLC where you get to restore your honor in Orzammar. *sigh* I wanted to be the queen down there.

Jowan as a third mage who is
neither a total **** (Morrigan) nor a goody two-shoes (Wynne) would be
good, especially if you're not playing a Mage yourself, and the fact
that he is male would also help balance the genders in each class more
(we'd then just need a couple of female warriors and sorted), since I'm
getting fed up of the 'beautiful female sorcerer and badass male
warrior' stereotypes. Lets get some Red Sonyas in the mix!
I could not agree with you more! It doesn't hit you at first, but after a while you do realize that there are no Rowans or Jowans that you can have as companions. A dark-haired male mage would be right up my alley, and I respect a warrior woman (Shale doesn't count).
I think Jowan would be like Zevran in that he's too grateful to be alive to whine about everything you do. Granted, Jowan is a natural whiner of sorts, but he's been through a lot and while I think he'd be depressed and down on himself, I don't see him being down on you. I think he'd be right on board the Grey Warden necessity train and follow your lead in almost everything.
I definitely like the idea of more female warriors and male sorcerors. I mean, I actually like the scrawny intellectual guy type. I would find that waaay hotter than Al or Zev because it fits my nerdosexual preferences better. (Really, how many of us females on these forums like nerds? I would think it'd be a wide margin.) Honestly, Cullen personality-wise was perfect for my female mage and I actually am ignoring Al and Zev on that playthrough because my PC is mooning over their tragic star-crossed love, but if there was a male mage I would've been all over him, probably. Not if it was Uldred, but you know what I mean. A decently attractive and good-natured mage.
*sigh* Non-standard love interests. People you can't take along but can end up wandering off into the sunset with at the end of the game. I would've loved that.
Addendum: And at seeing what our Mr. Gaider has written, I am now going to mope a little extra. That would've been AWESOME. If only... I mean, really, origin-related companions would've been the most awesome thing ever. Jowan in particular because it's such a polarizing sort of situation. I felt at odds with myself during that; even knowing how it turns out I have trouble making a decision.
