Stole this from the Cassandra thread over in the DA:I forum:

Slightly off topic but do any of you guys & gals remember when in the DAO or DA2 pre-release scheduled did they start talking about the Companions?
I know we are still over a year away until release but it would be cool to know when we can expect to get some more solid info on Cass as well as the others as the wait will probably drive me insane ; )


Checked the DAWiki page history for each DA2 companion.

Bethany and Varric - July 2010
Carver - August 2010
Aveline - September 2010
Isabela - October 2010
Fenris - December 2010
Merrill and Sebastian - January 2011
Anders - February 2011

DA2 - March 2011


So we might find out about more companions sooner than we think?

Baring in mind I have my bf's ex girlfriend staying at my house every week because our housemate is now dating her, I'd like to keep past lovers waaaaaaaay outta my fictional romances, ta!

That being said, if I could murder knife my bf's ex girlfriend (who is a dirty cheating scumbag, a spoilt princess brat, and all round foul individual) then I'd totally do it. Pity there's laws against that kind of thing, LOL!

It's only illegal if you get caught. :whistle:

Man, I just realised how different Fenris and Merrill are going to look in DAI, if they they have a cameo! I can't even begin to imagine how drastically different they'd look!

It might be a little easier to imagine how Merrill might look because she also had a DA:O role, and I can easily imagine Zevran looking like the male model we've seen, but Fenris? I... I have no clue.

 On the topic of potential romances in DA:I, if they stick to the four love interest formula (and Cullen is a companion), I think they'll be Cullen, Cassandra, Dorian and Sera. Especially if Dorian ends up being an elf.

*However*, since the game is being given three years of development overall, is it possible we'll get six love interests like Mass Effect 2? In which case I think we'd get those four, plus Vivienne and Varric. Which would mean we get two mages, two rogues and two warriors of each gender to choose from; three humans, two elves (if Dorian is an elf) and a dwarf. That might be a bit much, though...

Oh well, I don't want to assume anything or get my hopes up - only theories on my part! (and I'm still hoping against hope that the qunari is available for romance. I've wanted a piece of that since DA2! )

I want to doubt they'll add more romances than their previous formula, and a part of me would rather they keep with four so they can put more of their word budget into them instead of spreading it across six romances. Also, I think they were just given that extra year because of the new racial inclusion? I could be completely off the mark with that, though.

You're probably right! It's just guessing on my part. But I think the extra year allowed them to include racial options, not that they were given the year specifically for it, if that makes sense. So who knows what else they will be able to include with all the development time they have now?? But I'm kind of with you there, I'd rather they used their resources for other things and kept it to four romances, but  again, who knows?

I was under the impression that the return of playable races was because they were given extra time rather than the extra time given because of races. (I know, nitpicking.) Regardless, I think I'd prefer having fewer well fleshed out romances over more less meaty relationships with the LI's. (If they can manage  6 and keep them all big, then huzzah!)

Edit: Just seeing that PuppetWithNoStrings said the same thing. Derp! Not awake yet.

That could be it! Whatever the case, I'm excited for the return of race... and how I now have no idea what my first Inquisitor will be. :lol:

Oh man, I hadn't thought about what the elf differences would mean for a Fenris and Merrill return. Hmm. But you know... I always thought their models in DA2 looked sufficiently different from the "average" spooky elf model anyway, so I guess I'm hopeful that they would take some extra effort on those two to 'match.' So long as they don't have those creeeeepy eyes from the gameinformer! :crying:

You know, I have to agree. My brain says that they would never increase the overall word budget assigned to romances... so more than four means fewer words for each. That being said... if they're going to experiment with these non-party romances like in ME, perhaps they would up the word budget in order to do the experiment properly?? We already have evidence for more companions-of-some-kind this time around, so maybe it's a case of taking "important"  NPC word budgets and mushing them in to the companion budget...?

And by using the very technical term "mush" I have demonstrated that I absolutely know what I'm talking about. :P

R2, clearly only highly intelligent, in-the-know people grasp the full technical meaning of the word "mush". I will follow you into the Void itself. LOL

I'd like to reiterate my desire to have companions and NPC's that are not on my romance train to have more to say about the relationship.... both good and bad. I liked Anders' little Buttinski moment of "Are you sure you know what you're doing?" but felt he let it drop too easily if he was really that concerned.

All these references to ME.... I tried ME2 but wasn't really my bag. Everyone's talking about the romance differences though. I'm going to have to give it another go, aren't I? (Maybe I'll just youtube it.)

 And I was totally going to look around that tumblr until I saw the Anora bashing, getting her character completely wrong, and assumptions that people wouldn't have chosen her over Alistair as king if she was a man. Abort mission. Abort mission.  D:

About the number of companions a few pages back. The leaked survey said 10 companions, but Mr. Gaider said that that number wasn't correct, so .... we'll see /sigh
