 Well, there has been quite a few threads about who people want and doesn't want for companions.....

Am I the only one who doesn't want returning characters as companions?
I would love to just have a completely new group of characters to get to know.

You are not alone. I prefer a completely new cast as well.

When I read the title I thought you meant a companion that had no personality what so ever and was just an empty shell waiting to be shaped by your hands, like one of the dolls from Dollhouse.

That could actually be sort of cool, having an amnesiac companion with no self identity whos personality changes based on their observation of your actions in the world and what you personally say to them.

It depends entirely on the character. If there's a character that has been built for future development, like Sebastian Vael or Cassandra Pentaghast, then I would fully expect to see them return with a relatively large role - Be it as companion, antagonist or major contributing NPC.

If the characters are brought back purely for the sake of it, with no build up or development potential, then I agree with you - I'd rather see new companions.

I'd like to see previous companions throughout, in supporting roles, but I'm with you. I want new characters to discover and travel with.

I very much doubt you're the only one. I love cameos, but TBH, I really just want new companions, not necessarily new characters (e.g. I want Cassandra), and Tallis because I expect her to be a companion.

As far as characters never before seen go, I don't want every companion to be new.

You are not alone.

Having returning characters due to fan service is part of a prescription for failure a la the cameos and returns in DA2. Inevitably there will be disappointment because the character's look has changed because of the new engine. Bioware writes great characters and discovering new ones is half the fun. Let them surprise us again!

huh? that's not why there would be disappointment, the only reason there would be disappointment is if bioware wrote them in poorly. If it makes sense there is no reason to not bring back their best characters.

 I want certain characters to return but won't be too surprised or disappointed if they don't. I just hope there are no cameos for the sake of cameos.

I prefer a mix of the new and the familiar

yes I agree blank slate with maybe a cameo of Liliana to tie the games together.
