Found mention of Dagna:

YAY!!!!

[VampOrchid]

I like dagna! That's neat

[CuriousArtemis]

So didn't someone who attended PAX say there would be a qunari and elven companion? This is confirmed?

I think this means we are getting Iron Bull (bad for Cullen). And have we considered that Chill/Dorian may actually be out? That Sera could be our only elf companion?

Any hints about other companions at all?
Thanks in advance!

Vague, nonspecific ones about a Qunari and an Elf. Very much a "Well we've shown a lot of characters we haven't identified to you yet..." kind of deal.

He wouldn't speculate further on whether that means Iron Bull, since apparently he's under an NDA for stuff he knows from elsewhere.

For MMG

Thanks!!  That's the one! 

So it seems devs confirmed "a Qunari and an Elf." Though I'm not sure what to make of "vague" and "nonspecific."

LOL, I can sympathise with that one!

I was just recording Dagna's encounter in DA:O for my PAX info video, I'd forgotten how ridiculously adorable she is! I hope she's still as excitable as she was back then! <3

They're going to have to give us two romanceable males. It can't be a total clam bake. (Sorry, that was the best tongue-in-cheek analogy to "sausage fest" that I could come up with on short notice. Yes, I know that's a derrogatory term, but my annoyance at the bro!Inquisitor + wingman + harem they show in the demos is starting to rise again.)

It didn't feel like it was a bro/harem party, in fact the Inquisitor seemed kinda dull in his responses and the women seemed to be very in control of the situation... more so than the protagonist, lol.

Good catch charlottecorday! Hmm I wonder if Dagna could be the DA:O character Matt Rhodes mentioned redesigning.

LOL! Either dead, a merchant like her father, or a highly intelligent master of mage and magical lore.

You know Cameron Lee said something about having a campsite, but more grandiose? Wouldn't that just be our castle? I mean, you can't really get more extravagant than that!

I sympathize with your feelings, berelinde, but I'm with Lola in that it didn't feel like a bro/harem party. Cass and Vivienne are strong personalities and were not othered in any way that I could tell, and the Inquisitor was definitely a personality-less stick in the mud.

In fact I was concerned about that; I hope our PC has better voice acting and a more vibrant personality. For a few seconds, it made me afraid we were returning to Origins style, just voiced. But also the guy had a helmet on, so we couldn't see his facial expressions. And they've a year to spend on making him a real character.

That's what I was thinking a few pages back. I'd love it if she ended up being our little research buddy or something. Awww, she could hook up with Sandal and I won't feel sorry for him any more.

This made me lol... we would have also accepted "taco stand" or "garage party". 

I think they're holding back lots of info still so I'll reserve my judgment for later.

How about an Inquisition encampment like Ostagar, with a baggage train, camp followers (They aren't all prostitutes! Servants and civilian merchants and artisans count.)? That would certainly be more grandiose than the camp in Origins.

And yeah, I know about the "strong female" thing, Lola. I'm just irritated that they didn't announce two from each gender. You have to understand. I started playing BW games with Baldur's Gate. In BG2, which only had 1 male LI (compared to 3 female LIs). In my head, I know they aren't going to do that again, but my anxiety would be less if they showed another male. Yes, they tell us we aren't an afterthought, but you know what they say about showing and telling.

That's my guess. Like one of the early castles we saw in the concept art.

"Grandiose" could mean the difference between this:

I understand your feeling. I vacillate between those two feelings. On the one hand, the set up of: Warrior Male PC, "every guy's bro" Varric, feisty Cassandra whom all the boys wanna f***, and sultry Vivienne with her peek-a-boo top... is indeed geared towards appealing to the white male straight teenager.  But on the other hand, two females revealed as opposed to just one male, and both older and forceful personalities, one of whom isn't at all sexualized... this makes me very happy.

I know the writers are aware that female and LGBT gamers exist, but the marketing team sometimes doesn't have a clue, or doesn't care.

Wow, that video had a section of footage I'd hadn't seen yet! (with the Dagna part)

Check this out. The load screens or map screens or whatever had markers on the map. Heh. More owls, fist/pointy circles, and lady with wings! Maybe the different markers indicate what kind of keep you've decided to put there? e.g. trade, military might, spying?

Hmmm... food for thought. You could be on to something there.

I'm starting to lean to what Danny said about the new party camp being a line of tents and your army. It seems logical. I mean, Bioware HAS to have an alternate means to heal outside 5 healing pots that are globally shared. They don't have a fast travel system and nobody is going to want to make constant trips to the keep back and forth. They do have day/night cycles(I think). It just seems logical it's an army camp you can put down but at very limited uses. Maybe you need resources to do it or maybe you can only use it at night and can only use in specific spots(can't use in caves). That way you can't heal when you want.
