This is just begging to be an excuse for the DA version of the indoctrination theory.

"None of the events after you meet the desire demon actually happened. You're still standing in the room where you met her, drooling on yourself while she fills your head with what you want to see. At the end, you die of dehydration and she moves on to another victim. It's a demon induced Total Recall!"

Can't they shapeshift for all those NO MORE POSSESSED COMPANIONS peoples? Isn't Herren a Desire Demon?

No, that's not canon.

From David Gaider:

"Herren is not a Desire Demon, either.

Possibly a Desire Demon came along and possessed him in the Darkspawn Chronicles timeline, or some other shenanigan. It wasn't really explored. But outside of that timeline, it didn't happen-- period. "

I would actually like to be an abomination. Why not have a mage protagonist have the option to get taken by a demon? And every so often they'll make the choice for you depending on the kind of demon. It would also make for an interesting specialization.

It might be far more interesting to have the player character battle with possession, with different outcomes throughout the game. One might be that you get to transform into a (powerful) Desire Demon in the end game, after having tamed it. Another might be the destruction of the Demon, yet another bringing it into the real world in order to be rid of it, with a potential squadmatification.

This would be more interesting than just straight up "hey, look! We have a desire demon companion."

I'd be all for it, although we've certainly had our fair share of party members being possessed/manifestations of something else: Wynne has a spirit inside her, Morrigan was in danger of being possessed by Flemeth, Shale is a dwarf in a golem's body, Justice was a corpse with a spirit inside him, Anders then had Justice meld/possess him. Not only that, we had to deal with plenty of demon possession issues in DA2.

It's getting kind of stale, even though I still think Desire Demons are the most interesting of the lot since they seem, generally, to be the least overtly evil and by far the most cunning.

So you want the demons to go away because they're getting boring?... "hey demons, time to leave because some guy is bored with you... huh? yeah sorry mate no more possessing mages too"

This is just the nature of the world of Dragon Age.

Can we have ONE FREAKING GAME without a spirit-possessed companion? I guess a demon would be a change of pace... But really? Wynne in DAO, Justice in DAA, Anders in DA2, and (very likely) Evangeline in DA3. I thought that sort of thing was supposed to be rare?

Mate, rare **** happening to the PC is the bread and butter of RPG games.... you're going to complain about that?

[SafetyShattered]

I thought you were gonna make some pervy remarks about why a deire demon should be a companion. But after reading your post that isn't the case....thank you...so much.

And I actually would kinda like this too. I think it'd be an interesting possibilty for a new companion.

[Dragon_Effect 15511]

This and a Darkspawn companion and DA3 will be very interesting.

That's a fair point. But, it seems like perhaps more variety is in order? Beardless dwarves are rare, too, but we've only had one of those.

Aren't demons like.. evil?

A succubus with control spells is similar but without a possessed body as vessel. Maybe that would be better.

Considering that's not what I said at all, no.

There's a difference between "No more possessed party members" and "No more demons." Kind of along the same lines as "No more romanceable female rogues" vs. "No more rogues." You can attempt to twist my words but if you would, you know, read them, you'd see there's a significant difference between what I said and what you're suggesting.

There's so much other good lore and good possible characters out there to play with instead of falling back on the typical possession crutch. Not saying that it's not a real and significant threat in the greater world, but we've had so many similar instances of if already in one form or another that I'd, you know, like something NEW.

Or you can just fall back on the possession matchmaker game. Match 2:
Companion is a (mage, templar recruit, golem, corpse, Warden, regular person) with a (demon, dwarven soul, spirit, Old God, Corypheus) inside them.
A surefire winner!

You’ll discover wicked ways you’ve never known before
And you’ll find that when you’re really rotten to the core
And when you’ve learned every vile thing I know,
You’ll taste the joy that comes when you’re the lowest of the low

Possession is the most common way of interaction between Fade dwellers and Thedas. Even monsters like undead or such are corpses possessed by demons, so most monsters we encounter are the product of possession.

[mousestalker]

A Desire Demon should only be a companion only if it reflects the actual desire of most of the male demographic players, which is for pie.

So go ahead and have all the wedge shaped apple flavoured 300 lb. demons you want.

If it will reflect the deep desires of most guys.  It's gonna' be disturbing, traumatizing... and always have a sandwich ready.  Full support!!

 I find it amusing when people say desire demons aren't ruthless.  Cause thats exactly what they want you to think:devil:.

Yes.

We can have a desire demon companion.

And why would a desire demon's form be dictated by the 'male demographic?'

*shrug*

We've had companions who've been possessed by spirits before, a real demon for a companion might be an interesting angle to take. It doesn't have to be a desire demon.

Of course I have no idea how feasible that is. As a concept it is interesting and that's as far as it goes.

[TheJediSaint]

As cool as the Frostbite 2 engine is, I don't think it's capable of rendering characters who's appearance is determined by the desires of the player.

Only if it has its own agenda, and if you go against its plans it really screws you over later down the line some how.
Having a sort of good, kind of bad mushy mushy desire demon is boring as hell.
