"I'm not going to say whether she's a companion, or if she's even still in DAI. Not every character mentioned in that survey was a companion, and some of them either no longer exist or have changed signficantly. Hence why I have said before not to hold it up as gospel-- you may be very disappointed." -David Gaider. 


So I guess the survey companions are up in the air, some so far up they just went POOF. :(


I wouldn't take what he says about the surveys as gospel. It's in the company's best interest to discredit them while promoting the game. I don't think the companions were in such a state of flux when that survey leaked because voice actors playing companions were already recording before the leak and that was a marketing survey. As in gathering information for marketing the game, not developing the game. Some aesthetic changes or backstory changes probably happened along the way since then but I highly doubt that they would just drop companions that they were already trying to figure out how to market effectively.



Good point. Though I still think there is a bit of merrit to what he said.

I wasn't here on the Dragon Age forums before DA:O or DAII's release, how long before release were all the companions confirmed for those games? Or did people not find out until they played the game?

God, I don't even remember for DA:O.  I think all the companions had their own personal trailers months before release.  DA2 companions never got trailers and I don't think the companions were officially outed before release save for a handful obviously revealed through gameplay videos.

Well, I'm certainly interested in finding out more about the characters.

I do agree that it'd seem weird if the companions weren't reasonably decided upon by the time the survey leaked last year, especially since they were doing voice recording from at least May-ish.

Then again I'm not a dev and don't know a thing about the game or how it works.

Out of DA2 companions, Varric, Aveline and Isabela where shown early (although nobody knew who Isabela was until she showed up on the website). Anders and Merrill where teased. But DA2 marketing was on like 1 year, while DAO was talked about for years until release (and even got a 6 month push back at the last minute).

I don't remember how early, but Fenris's concept art was released before the game and he even had a forum nickname--MEG for mystery elf guy, IIRC. It must have been relatively early because I always abandon the BSN for a while before a game releases so as to avoid spoilers.

This is a healthy attitude. If only it were easy to grow here.

Textures, probably. I asked Andre about it because I'm a photographer and thought maybe the studio hired professionals to take their research shots (finally, a skill I can apply to game development???), but no, it's all devs doing the work. Anyway, he linked me to a contribution page for texture artists. :shrug:

Photo looks like it might be south of Edmonton with Highway 2 in the back. Certainly the proper terrain for it.

Well, I'm glad they seem to set their concept art in geography that's less boring than that.

Not unless the wroth of Morgo- I mean Mike is evoked on the petty employees of BioWare :D

We're getting something, but I'm not hoping for much ^_^

<3 Oh my god, I hope for Cullen to be a love interest. Otherwise I'll just flirt with him constantly through each play through. >_>; Otherwise I will be wondering what my Warden will be doing throughout the entire game.. *rubs chin*

Stop me if I'm wrong but I seem to have read on various websites that no new information about DAI will be shown during Gamescom in Germany. This is true?
