Maybe someone we don't even know about yet? They could've modified a lot of the characters since they were first hinted or mentioned in surveys etc. But just to take a wild guess, I think a sarcastic Dorian would be a possibility. It could even be Cole, if he's still in the game, since that character *was* someone who Gaider personally invented and seemed to put a lot of genuine thought into. 

(Did David say he wrote two characters for Inquisition, or three? That's Cassandra and maybe another one or two?)

I found a lot of his posts recently really interesting, there's a great one here on how as a writer he uses parts of his own experiences to write for characters.

I believe David said he wrote two of the followers, but he could be referring to a non follower. PC's antagonist perhaps?


David's wrote Cassandra and another companion, plus lots of NPCs (Morrigan and others).

I'm aware of that. We're talking about Inquisition and one of David's latest blog posts.


I like the idea of David expanding on the Jowan character, how interesting.

My plus lots of NPs is in reference to Inquisition. He didn't just write 3 characters. 6 months ago on twitter he "joked" about having to write ~140 characters with Patrick.

I believe Elite was also referring exclusively to followers, as in companions, when he said three characters. David Gaider mentioned in a tweet not too long ago the number of followers he worked on.

David wrote 2 companions, one of which is Cassandra (who could be who he's talking about for all we know).

I believe what we have here is a failure to communicate.

He also apparently wrote two of the romance plots!

So... Cassandra romance maybe sorta possibly tentatively confirmed? It is of course possible he wrote Cassandra + other companion + two (completely separate) romance plots (for competely different characters)... buuuut... maybe, if we're feeling optimistic...

Cassandra has a good selection. Nevertheless, we need an epic character, such as "lesbian Qunari bloodmage priestess church Andraste.:devil::innocent::wizard:

I've been getting a LOT of very specific questions about DAI features the past few weeks. I'm not answering any that haven't already been...

...announced; it's rarely prudent to use twitter as an announcing pad for gameplay features/reveals. Too short a format.

The give up smoking resulted in him getting 10x snarkier, so I expect a lot more snark in his character dialogs.

This seems to be a very good possibility. The concept of Freedom/Personal Autonomy has been a very central theme to a lot of the characters he's written for Dragon Age (Zevran, Shale, Morrigan, Fenris, Anders). It seems like a topic he enjoys writing about, and I don't think he's really gotten that much of a chance to write the other side of the story, from the point of view of the oppressor rather than the oppressed.
