Cullen is a lot more likely and he would become the frist templar companion in the series.
No Alistair doesn´t count.

Stroud might be unpopular among the men. Among the ladies, his moustache is legendary.
I'd rather we play as Cassandra, as opposed to with Cassandra. If they're going to stick to the non-player developed character, might as well go the full route.
Also, who is Rhys?

Hmm, the characters I'd like to see as companions depends on who is the protagonist in DA:3. For example, if the Warden is the PC, I'd like Sten as a companion, otherwise I'd like to see him in the Qunari invasion. But anyhow:

Companions:

Morrigan
Sten
Zevran
Anders
Nathaniel
Varric
Bethany.

Not that I think these are most likely to return, they were just my favourites.
Regarding current NPCs, I think Cullen, Cassandra and Morrigan and Wynne's children are most likely to return/appear as companions.

Oh yeah, and Sandal. It won't happen, but meh.

 Why not just ask for DAO DLC?

Because DA2 came together better and faster than expected.

Sorry, but you left that wide open.

He is the major character from the next novel Assunder
and Wynne´s son.
And yes as Wynne´s son he is a mage.

I think he is likely a mage companion for DA 3.

[happy_daiz]

I think Stroud will be in DA3, but I can't see him as a companion. He seems to be more of a leader than a follower. And I agree his moustache IS legendary.

And Cullen? I love that pixel man, but I really can't see him being a companion. What would have to happen for him to leave the order, and follow the protagonist around, when he's a Knight Captain (possibly Knight Commander at this point)?

It seems like Nathaniel Howe is a shoe-in, and I hope he's a companion/LI.

Feynriel and/or Connor seem likely. It would be awesome if Charade Amell could be the token archer.

[The dead fish]

Wynn. mage/templar
Cullen. mage/templar
Cassandra /save the world
Leliana / save the world
Sten / Qunari
Bethany /Carver / Nathaniel / Stroud : Wardens
Morrigan/ flemeth / Mysterious goal !
Allistair / war with Orlais ?
Harrowmont / Belhen / Sigrun = What became the dwarfs ?

While I personally would LOVE to play as Cassandra, I don't see it happening. She's already got a very firmly established gender and look and the fact that you saw her in 2 would make her sudden appearance in 3 as, for example, a mustachioed male mage with a combover very weird. It's either that or strip out customized appearance entirely and I don't see that happening either.

And yeah like someone said a couple posts up, Rhys is Wynne's son.

[Lestatman]

Plz Bioware not Cullen I hate him as a character and wish I could kill him in DA2. The only 2 companions I want back are Varric and Bethany.

[naledgeborn]

New game. New characters. At most what we'll see is returning minor characters like Bodhan and Sandal and maybe Hawke's sibling for a walk on cameo if alive. Flemeth is going to be there because she's pulling everyone's strings.

My bet is that we'll get a female Tal Vashoth since that was the popular demand pre-release.

[Seeker Sparrow]

I'd like to see a Tal-Vashoth mage and a female Tal-Vashoth warrior, maybe in-game you could only select one same as you could only take one sibling (though that was more pre-determined choice based on class). Definitely want another kossith companion.

Of the NPC's I'd like to see Charade Amell and Athenril as companions. I think it'd be fun to bring back Velanna and Arianne as companions along with Merrill; 3 dalish ladies all from different clans which would surely cause fireworks if they were in a party together.

And finally a dwarven warrior either male or female that isn't Oghren.

It's mostly wishful thinking on my part. The middle route path Bioware is taking regarding its protagonists (neither fully realized ala Witcher's Geralt or Alpha Protocol's Thorton nor the fully malleable blank slate ala Fallout New Vegas Courier or Drakensang main character) hits me as undecided and in the end, unsatisfying. I'd rather they'd choose completely either side, and since they're enamoured of their voice acting, that leaves the Thorton route, symbolized as a fully stablished Cassandra as the main PC. We know enough of her for her to be fully identifiable yet not enough to allow character building options, at least from a mechanical perspective.

If Cassandra were the player character of DA3, it would no longer be possible to have dirty gay man sex and then how would Bioware ****** off Fox News? Not acceptable.

[Apollo Starflare]

Okay I'll throw a few possible names down (edit: other than Cass, who I think is extremely likely to be a companion, the banter between her and Varric would be worth the price of admission alone):

Varric, because (almost) everyone loves him and he can't die. It would be mind boggling if he didn't return.

Finn, his relatively minor role in the series so far was made more memorable by little moments such as his charming banter with Arianne, his connection with the statue in the Mages tower and it's eeire prophecy about him, and of course his eccentric equipment. Not to mention he would be the perfect Mage companion to contrast with the much gloomier than usual Anders from DA2.

Cullen, he has a fair amount of fan support now after having a fair amount of personality surgery performed during DA2. He's one of those 'linking the games together' characters and is voiced by a popular VA (presuming he can come back this time!) Not to mention that a Templar companion seems assured, and having one that we have already 'met' would make things smoother I think.

Hopeful wish: Merrill or Isabela. Love them both, but both seem unlikely to return full time unless they pull some ME2-3 style import craziness.

OH and Sigrun of course, because we need more Sigrun in our lives.

Completely disagree personally, for me the fact Geralt was such a pre-defined character with so little customisation available was a negative. It's one reason I can't wait to see CDP do something completely new, and thus hopefully not be held back in such a way.

I find that rather than coming out as 'undecided and unsatisfying' it is more 'the perfect balance'. But that's just me.

That's why I said "hits me as" rather than "is". People have different preferences. It's simply that asking me to design my character but then robbing me the ability of play my designed character (by obscuring my choices with unhelpful paraphrases, which exist only to accomodate the voice to the subvocalizing crowd) is not enjoyable. If I'm saddled with no real control of the  character I'm playing, then I'd rather have that character be someone else's, so that my frame of mind shifts to the appropriate spot.

Lesbian sex is acceptable to Fox News, then?

On second thought, that actually doesn't surprise me that much.

I completely agree. I could use more Shale (pigeon s*** optional) in my life as well. 

[Shepard Lives]

In DA3, your trusted companion Varric ends up possessed by the insane spirit of an ancient Paragon that slowly turns him into a homicidal maniac during the course of the game.

God I can't even bear to think of it.

Jokes aside, I crave more Finn. Feynriel and Maraas also seem like excellent candidates. And Athenril: I can see her as a darker version of Isabela. Charade would also be a nice choice for the obligatory "badass normal" companion like Leliana or Varric/Isabela.

IMO Cassandra seems likely to be a main character, but not a companion.

Oh and am I the only one who thinks the Nexus Golem, or something/someone related to it, is going to become important?

[GarrusV4karian]

It's nice to have new companions, but I really got attached to the ones in DA2:unsure:

Not sure about the companions. I bet they will all be bisexual though.

At the beginning of DA3 Varric loses Bianca and goes on a blind rampage throughout Thedas in attempt to be re-united with is lost love.

I agree, Athenril as the 'dark version' of Isabela sounds like a good sub-plot. I completely forgot about Finn as well and we definitely need another up-beat witty mage.

IMO Cassandra seems likely to be a main character, but not a companion.

Really? Personally I see her being a very important companion in the same vein Allistair and Morrigan were in regards to the main plot. Can't honestly see her being just an NPC.

[Rahelron]

Lots of brand new characters and as less recycled companions as possible please!!

Feynriel is the only DA2 NPC that I'd like to see as a companion in DA3.
Maybe Cassandra too. It would be interesting.

I'd like to meet Flameth, Morrigan and Leliana too, but as NPCs, not companions. All these characters have a plan, I want to know what it is, but I also want to be able to fight them if necessary.

New characters:

Mages:
A Tevinter Mage! Ruthless, elitist and unpleasant.
Some other elven chick to romance. I liked Merrill, but you can do better.

Rogues:
Some ranger-like dalish elf with a pet that can fight.
A female monk-thief that fights with bare hands and is able to heal. Stop compelling us to bring a mage if we want to be healed! Free for romances please.

Fighters:
A sadistic but sexy woman fighter. Willing to fall in love with you.
A real two handed warrior. A Qnari or a Dwarf would be perfect. Fenris was ridiculous in that role, completely inappropriate.

[nikkylee]

I'd LOVE for Finn to come back as a companion. It's the nerd love. People crave it.

I also think Feynriel has the potential for a really cool specialization.

On a related note, anyone voiced by the Alix Whilton that DOESN'T die half an hour later would be awesome. I have a girl crush on her voice.

[Huntress]

Lohain always dies in my game, but he is such a great character, I would't mind seen him back alive and kicking **** heh.
I do mind more to play as a seeker or templar... eww eww. I do'nt care how pink the life of this seeker and templar has been or going to be, i am not taking part of it.

[TEWR]

Cassandra
Athenril
Maraas


And all three shall be love interests.

oh and Bioware needs to give us a gorilla companion.

[Giubba]

Pretty damn sure Cassandra and Stroud will be companions in DA3, i won't bet on Maraas.

I hope Varric and Hawke (as a jack of all trades character) will join the party for DA3.

[AbounI]

Sondal without Bodahn (check one of his last discuss with Hawke);

So Mr enchantment should come back in DA3
