So, you just want more temporary companions? I still don't understand this train of thought.

I think it's less a train of thought and more a dartboard.

Think back to the Pearl. Isabela was a temporary party member and cool things happened.

Who you callin' crazy? A female dwarf that volunteered to be transformed into a gollum with a hatred for all things fowl with the intensity of an exploding star? A stoic warrior who lost his sword and has an affinity for cookies and will steal them from a fat, slovenly child at the drop of a hat? A witch of the wilds who is angling for you to make her Old God Taint Baby with the soul of a fallen god and was intended to be consumed by a near immortal creature posing to be her mother? A rogue who dreams about the maker, carries around a nug named Schmooples, and has the ability to come back to life even if you lopped her head off after defiling the Ashes of Andraste?

Nope, no crazy here. I'd argue that they are crazy for not wanting to join this kickass group of well rounded, grounded individuals.

I'd like companions joining you to defend teir financial or real estate interests, which is the number one reason people associates for in real life: money.

A chevalier joining you because political unstability threatens his whealth or the bodyguard of a rich man joining you in command of his employer.

Also, give our pc the ability of joining business partnerships based on money and financial interests. Money is the one thing aside of love that makes people endanger themselves

What I'd like to see are heroes competing with you. Surely there must be other parties full of mass-murderers out there.

Now I'm picturing a Red-Blue rivalry via the old pokemon games..

[DarkKnightHolmes]

Murdock, the mayor of Redcliffe, pretty much says this if you try to recruit him.

[PsychoBlonde]

If I were writing the game, I'd also be tempted to talk up at least one of the companions in such over-the-top glowing rhetoric that any right-thinking person couldn't help but be embarrassed, and then when you actually get to meet the guy, he's pretty cool.

I'd like to see more companions that polarize people on whether they recruit the companion or not. Zevran, Sten, and Wynne had some of this in Origins but I don't recall anyone in DA2 where I thought twice about recruiting them.

[Potato Cat]

I think if we are creating a rag tag group of misfits to help in the Inquisition like in ME2 and DA:A, you would think at least one of them would decline, for whatever reason. I would like that. Or for some companions joining us to be fairly dubious.

Pc: I pc over Dragon age 3 grant you premmision to join my part of two, yes two people what say you?

Npc: You are so screwd (walks off)

pc: Did I mention we will be facing unspeakable evil

Npc: what kind of evil

Pc: I don't know yet tahs why it's unspeakable

Npc: Pass...

ontopic
I would like to see someone use the pc for there personal gain for instance, they will promise to join you if you did X number of quests for them and when you're done they say no, then you will encounter them again and finally they will join you.

This is similar to wanting the ability to flirt with non-romanceable party members/NPC's and get rejected, methinks.

It's an idea that sounds really awesome to increase realism and immersion, but has a chance to actually just annoy you if it happens in game.

Not saying I don't think it'd be cool, tho.

Yeah, I wouldn't necessarily want it to happen over and over and over.  That'd get old really quickly.

Although, it could actually be quite fun if the first 1/3 of the game consists of you getting a list of people to try recruiting because they're reasonably competent/powerful and currently unattached, so you go around Thedas trying to recruit them while doing your inquisiting (or whatever the **** you're going to be doing) and they keep telling you no in various different ways--no, I just took another job; no I'm taking a break; no, you're just too weird; no, I hate that other dude you recruited--and you have to find some way to convince all (or at least, most) of them to join you.

Kind of like the army-gathering bit in Origins, only your companions are actually leaders of the different bits of the army so you get companions as you acquire army.

[MichaelStuart]

I support being rejected

[Palipride47]

Yes, because I want to be as lame in a video game as I am IRL, with all the rejection and the inability to shoot fireballs from my fingertips.

That might leave people wondering if they screwed up attempting to recruit them, but other than that I don't see much to it.
Its the fact they temporally join your party that nags at me. You could have the same thing with them fighting alongside you, as it has been done before.

[XCelfa]

All I ask is that it isn't done to any of the characters that I didn't get to have join my party in previous games [cough Cullen cough]

[Direwolf0294]

If they did this I predict they'd end up with dozens of threads with people begging for those characters to become proper companions either in DA3 or DA4.

I support this idea, so long as the person turning us down is as *overpowered* seeming as possible. It makes it that much more hilarious and awesome. Like Drizzt or Elminster-level munchkin-ness.

"I would join you out of pity, but 'sympathy' isn't a prerequisite for my specialization, 'arcanebloodforce roguemage.' Kthxbai."

:D:D:D

Oh, C'mon.
Elminster has sympathy... but he's a very, very busy demi-god.

[Lotion Soronarr]

Speaking of which, how about an NPC trying to recruit you?


YOU: "I'm already on a quest..kinda."
NPC: "Oh, c'mon. It could be a side-quest? A quicky?"
YOU: "I'm a one quest kinda a guy. Dont' like doing multiple plot threads at once."
NPC: "But there is great, ancient treasure! Mighty magical artifacts!"
YOU: "Mighty artifacts you say? Hm...well, I guess my kidnapped sibling can wait."

[Twisted Path]

More NPCs who don't fawn all over you and who can actually equal you in terms of magic/martial prowess would be great. By the middle of Mass Effect 3 I was really tired of hearing everyone talk about the great and wonderful Commander Shepherd and it was even more silly in DA2 when you couldn't turn around without someone saying "Hawke, you really know how to get things done and you're so awesome, can you do some quest for me?"

Speaking of which since you (might be,) working for the Chantry in this game maybe they can bypass the awkward "You look like you get things done, want to do a quest?" quest introductions and make the game more about doing assignments for your organization.

[Patchwork]

I like the competing hero idea, if you don't recruit someone they do or you and even they can try to poach from the other team by offering a better deal.
PC: A measly 7%? I offer you 10% of all loot and your own bedroom in my giant castle!

Then for the final quest you join forces with the other team.

[Ridwan]

No, I like having awesome companions.

I want to be able to name both my team and the other team then.
