Topic Text:
I've seen many threads that ask "What would you like to see in DA3?" or
"What companions would you like to have return?" and then, of course,
there are The Wishlist threads where people give their personal roster
of people they'd like to see in a Dragon Age game as either a guest star
or full fledged companion.
It occurs to me that most of the
characters we'd love to have reprise their roles, like Stroud and
Charade, and others who have been around since the beginning, such as
Isabela and Alistair may not have much to give the new story. More
important than their popularity, is how much can they bring to Dragon
Age Inquisition?
There are characters, like Cullen, Feynriel and
Jowan who have strong arguments for what they can offer to the story,
if - as the developers have stated - we are indeed still dealing with
the mage/templar conflict. To that end, I ask what characters can you
see being relevant in DAIII? Love them or hate them, who do you think
can contribute to the story and why?
For my part, I am a fan of
Cullen and do think he has plenty to offer the new story. His background
is undeveloped enough to play with and his attitude has been undergoing
a metamorphosis since Origins. Given his experience and the potential
for gut wrenching story, I think he could be a significant modifier to
the game.
I would also really love to know what happened to Feynriel if you let him live. Will he return as a friend or a powerful foe? I don't think save game imports work that well but if we do have the
ability to set the choices we made in DA2, I think the choice you made
with him could provide a major interrupt to the story.
Lia, the
little elf girl you save from the magistrate's son, was last reported to
be interested in becoming a fighter like the Champion. I would love to
see her again and have her be a capable warrior, one who is not crazy or
bitter and who is an amazing example of Elvhen might. Kind of like
their version of the historical Chavalier Aveline. It'd be a shame not
to give the elves someone in present day that they can really look up
to. I think it's about time Thedas realized how wrong they were to
oppress them. Trouble is... how much does that add to the mage/templar
conflict? Not much, sadly.
A character I can't stand is Anders.
Given that he could be killed, having him back is problematic but if
Bioware says he survived in their canon, I can see him coming back. He
and Jowan are personas I could do without. However, if ever a dead horse
needed beating, it would be them to do it. I can fathom that Justice
has taken full control of Anders by now and is leaving a wide swath of
bodies in his wake.
I also don't care much for Leliana but I
fully expect to see her again. She makes too much sense not to return.
Had she not a cameo in DAII, I wouldn't be inclined to think so. Now I
have heard rumblings that she was shoe-horned into the game. I disagree.
She was an Orlesian bard. She is very devout. These two things make her
a perfect addition to the Divine's retinue and thus, put her at the
center of the conflict. I will have to put up with her pontificating
about the Maker and Fate because someone has to say it, right?
So... what are your thoughts? What characters do you think make the most sense to see again?
End Topic.
So, what do you all think?
