Elven rogue is on the right side.

I still believe she is not Vivianna.

I'm not saying this either. I think we will have large set of companions to play with and we are still don't know some of them.

Isn't she some sort of assistant?
I remember someone mentioning something like that, in fact, I'm sure I even answered making a joke about she being the Samanta Traynor of Dragon Age.

Oh i hope she is not. I really like the way this character looks.

[ElitePinecone]

Nobody from Bioware said she was an assistant, though she may well be - as far as I know that was just speculation going around the BSN.

She was first pictured with some sort of parchment and a brush, but that could be painting or writing.

And now I won't remove from my head the image of the John moving around his office and telling the events of the game with a very serious tone while she is writing everything from a corner

3 years and I'm still get surprised from time to time with the amount of info the bsn can speculate with any pic that appears.
But as Dubozz said, I hope she is not stuck in a "desk" like Traynor, it was a bit dissapointing not having her in the missions.

I think the overly dramatic guy with his hands on his head (I love him already!) is that magister Dorian, not the chevalier. Looks like he's wearing magey robes.

Cassandra though... "Stabbing maps is MY job. MINE!"

It is chevalier- he wears armor.

I don't think that Bioteam give us two darkskinned women. Vivienne and painter is the same face.

It's obvious that Vivienne is the third and the painter the first. Still its's quite strange that by adding Varric and Cassandra we end up with at least 7 companions (which is a lot). Also, the figure (Sera?) who stands behind the Inquisitor in the picture with the table is clearly a man, not a woman. I'm quite confused. I think some of these people are your majorodmos and they stay within your base.

[ElitePinecone]

The Game Informer article mentioned numerous characters and figures that interact with the Inquisition and the Inquisitor over the course of the story (the comparison was made to ME3's War Assets system, except that we're making new alliances and networks/armies rather than just finding existing ones).

I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of the characters we're seeing in concept art - like the male elf - aren't necessarily companions, especially if there are many side characters representing factions and alliances that play a significant role in the story (and the Inquisition) even if we can't take them adventuring.

Also, that picture of companions doesn't even include Cullen and Cole, or the Iron Bull. That would be 10, in total, which seems almost too many (especially considering Bioware have rejected the speculation of 10 companions).

Based on that art above and the concept survey (if it's still accurate), the companions would seem to be Vivienne, Cassandra, Varric, Painter Lady, Iron Bull, Dorian, Stroud, Sera, Cole and Cullen.

Four warriors (Cassandra, Iron Bull, Stroud, Cullen), three (?) mages (Dorian, Vivienne, Painter Lady?) and three rogues (Varric, Sera, Cole)

Though it's really hard to tell if I'm counting people twice, or whether the survey companions even exist any more - maybe they turned Dorian into Vivienne.

[The Elder King]

Bioware rejected the 10 companions speculations last year. Maybe with the extra year they'll make -0 companions.

[Shevy]

I doubt every character around that table will be a companion, maybe just ambassadors of the several factions our inquisition has to deal with.

Yeah, but then that doesn't match up with what seems to already exist. There are ten already, counting what we've seen in recent gameplay videos, that image above with "companions" written on it, and the survey. Of the companions that were only mentioned in the survey, we're only yet to see reasonably-confirmed art for Dorian and Cole (though Dorian could be one of the figures in the map scene, hard to tell.)

[dragondreamer]

Magic, particularly powerful magic, is everything in Tevinter. I imagine that it's somewhat like the mage culture within the Circles in which you're a mage first and your race second. Anyone can potentially be a Magister if they have the power and skill to rise to that level. So I'm pretty sure Dorian could be an elven Magister. I hope so, that would be a really fascinating perspective. Remember that Dorian is as far as we know, an exile because he was trying to reform the negative aspects of Tevinter.

Seven doesn't strike me as an unusual number at all.  Based on DAO and DA2, we get a minimum of two companions per character class (though DAO had an overabundance of warriors)  add in a couple of extras and yeah they could easily hit eight or nine, potentially.

New tweet from Mike. I want them both, no jk.

I just pointed at the "confirmed" ones. If we add Cullen, Iron Bull, Cole, Dorian, maybe even Leliana we approach 10 really fast. I guess it's not impossible to get say eight companions, but 10 is a bit much. Also, do we prefere a lot of shallow companions or a few fleshed out ones?

[Dubozz]

Well, ME2 was character focused game and there were 12 squadmates and huge amount of exploration. I still think it was the best game in the series. Citadel DLC was a huge success. So why not focus your game on companions again? Win-win situation for everyone. I've recently played KOTOR2 with restoration patch and oh my..I've found myself speaking with Kreya for like 20 minutes, then another 30 with HK-47, and i would gladly spend even more. Just my 2 cents.

I agree ten would be too many.  But I find it highly unlikely that Cole and Leliana will be companions.  Leliana I think will end up being an important NPC like Morrigan.  And Cole is...well, a very unusual character who may not translate well as a companion, let's just leave it at that

But with Cullen, Iron Bull and Dorian, and Sera (assuming these are all in fact companions) added to the three we know about, we have two rogues (Varric and Sera) two mages (Vivienna and Dorian) and three warriors. (Cullen, Iron Bull, Cassandra) Seven characters and a nice spread of classes and potentially specialties.

[TheBreadedOne]

Two ranged rogues seems rather redundant. I still don't think the guy in the middle where the Inquisitor is stabbing the map is Cullen, the hair color is wrong and the guy's color scheme says Grey Warden not templar.

[BioFan (Official)]

Guys, 7-10 possible total companions is the norm for DA

DA:O had 10 if you count dog and secret companion

DAO:A had 7

DA2 had 10 if you count Tallis

"The elves can be Magister?"Yes, Varinia said so.

I guess if they are mages.... this would help explain why he wants to change tervinter.... plus, we've never had a male elf mage

And Isabella, who's not ranged. And Tallis.

Poorly worded on my part but like Gebert said we also had Isabela, a dual wield rogue, and the person I responded to only mentioned two "archer" rogues.

[Personality Disorder]

@TheBreadedOne: Ah, got it.

I think that 7 is a perfect number of companions:
Warriors: two-handed and sword and board.
Rogues: an archer and a backstabber.
Mages: a healer and well, any other mage (not that healing should be exclusive to just one of your followers, but one mage could have a unique tree that would greatly enhance his/her healing abilities).
And something/one that does not clearly fit any particular combat role, or an interesting twist on an existing class: e.g. Shale. Cole would be a perfect fit for this category for DA:I.

And I don't believe that Tallis should be counted as an available compaion for DA II as she could be used in a very short standalone adventure and has nothing to do with the vanilla game. Sebastian, on the other hand, is a DLC character as well, but is available for the majority of the main campaign.
