8. Party members who can be married and settle down like most average women do,

Something about this statement bothers me.


I'm 40 years old and I have never married or settled down and I consider myself pretty average.

See most. It is a generalization, but at least it comes with a caveat.

Besides, the female party members hardly count as 'most average women'. And usually, during the game they're trying to help save the world/country/city/kittens stuck in trees, which they may rank slightly higher than settling down when they're only in their 20s.

A seeker who was tasked to find the Warden and the Champion. She may come off as aggressive on the front but deep down is a nice person. Her purpose is to stop the mage and templar war.

A templar who raised his sword against his commander. He is a very troubled and tortured soul. This templar had witnessed first-hand the danger of magic and saw his friends and comrade slaughtered before his eyes.

A spirit who takes possession of a dead mage. Even though he has the memory of the mage, he seems to have some conflicts about who he truly is. His mind is not very stable.

Ones that don`t switch their sexuality to cater to the player.

Sadly it has already been confirmed that they are going with the DA2 model.

So in other words: playing male or female will have zero impact on anything at all. Yet again. Thats one more choice being removed.

And no choice or impact on the story of any value that I can think of was lost that day.


On my end, I'd like a city Elf please. One that's hopefully not over the top bitter/broody like Fenris, but still provide DA3's insight into how the Elves are being treated and reacting to their treatment even now when other oppressed groups are rising up violently against their injustices, perceived or otherwise. Maybe an ex-prize winning servant... I mean "serf" from Orlais. 

Preferably with less of the heavy handed Anti-Mage overtones that Fenris had, and female to boot thank you very much. Also, I'd like my value meal large sized. Maybe add some choclate chip cookies for a dollar while I'm making my personlized demands lol.


Ooo! If I can also make more broader requests, Golems are always fun, as would be meeting a Qunari who actually becomes a Tal-Vashoth as the story goes on, based on your own choices. That'd be a fun type of morality mirror to your main character in the vein of Knights of the Old Republic.


How about a Drake or a very young dragon who has been possessed by a spirit, Justice style but instead of a human body the companion fills more of the Mabari role in combat, a incredibly unique fighting style that isn't recreated in any of the three core classes.

A healing specialized mage who's not completely out of their mind.

[Orian Tabris]

The kind that's new, as far as being a playable companion. So, like Cassandra.

The kind that is Tallis, since we only got to have her for a short amount of time, and they have said they want to bring in a character like with Anders and Justice (2 for the price of 1).

The kind that's a female kossith whose dark, mysterious and keeps to herself a lot, much like Sten.

The kind that's a male elf mage, but doesn't enforce the pathetic stereotype that we've seen of the likes of Sketch. Also, the kind that doesn't make other race-gender-class combinations look much better in comparison.

The kind that's an attractive female. One whose appearance isn't ever commented on, outside of the romance. None of the previous females have been referred to by the PC romancing them, as being attractive. Merrill and Anders have said Hawke is beautiful, but I;d like the option to have it the other way round.

No party members who are overpowered or underpowered, unless we make it so (in customisation).

The kind that is a decent Spirit Healer, unlike Anders, and unqiue spell/s is/are actualy useful... unlike Wynne and hers.

The kind that are warriors capable of helping the party survive, without being tanks, and without having a PC whose very strong to make up the difference they lack. Unlike Sten, Carver and Fenris (and possibly Oghren).

Also, the kind that are melee rogues, capable of surviving without direct help from the player, at normal level. Unlike Isabela and Zevran.

A qunari who has left the Qun, someone like Maraas 

A woman who is older and strong, but not mocked because of it (a.k.a Aveline "Lady Man-hands") ... maybe a Warden or templar or Cassandra

A young female dwarf, maybe Dagna!

Someone from a nation we haven't met yet, like the Anderfels (I love you, Anders, but you don't count) or Navarre or what-have-you.

A female elf who isn't a mage (but not Tallis ...)

Cullen, Nathaniel, basically the ones we wanted to be LIs but weren't  I will accept a reformed Sebastian

 

[Solmanian]

I just hope they be flexible with their role in the party. DA2 with it's one dedicated tank, one dedicated healer and SIX dedicated DPS, was just awefulll in this regard. I liked how I could spec alistair as dual wielding templar. He sucked at it, but I was gratefull for being free to make that mistake.

I'm sure alot of people would like to see a tevinter mage, making the point (if it does exist at all) that not all tevinterians are power hungry, enslaving bastards. If he will be an unapologetic proof of the stereotype, that would be fine too.

1. Party Members who can talk anywhere and anytime when they're not fighting and questing.

2. Party members who are not constantly whining about things that I already know such as mages are sucked or templars are evils bla bla and all that boring stuffs. Instead, they should start fresh idea worth for discussion such as how to tame a desire demon into romance-able and faithful companion or how to fast travel with proper transportation instead of clicking on the map.

3. Party members who will not abandon my protagonist to be the agent of religious order or whatever in the next sequel.

4. Party Members who can talk about themselves, their past, favorites, jokes, aspiration etc.. and not about constant boring belief system.

5. Party members who will shut up and listen to my PC and willingly to do my PC personal quest instead of theirs.

6. Party members who can die and can not be retcon-ed in the next sequel.

7. Party members who can insult other NPCs and make them cry.

8. Party members who can be married and settle down like most average women do,

9.. Party members who will not show up in the next sequel without my playable former character.

10. Party members who is idealist engineer, constructor, inventor and manipulator, capable to find a way to bypass all missions and useless paraphrased dialogues to complete the game instantly.

the last one made lol hard

Ummm let's see, I'm going to name who I'd like as LI/Companion:
-Gann, Bishop and Casavir from NWN2 were really hot, specially Bishop. I'd like characters like them.
-Cullen is also hot, with the red hair and cute attitude whenever he is stuck in an intimate situation :3 with a broken soul that my fingers just ache to fix him and he also treats like a strong and serious man whenever he's dealing with a serious matter. So I'd like Cullen a lot.
-Fenris could have been a lot better if he didn't whine too much about Mages and Templars. he has a bit of the sense of dominance and that's a very attractive trait and he had a sexy voice. Maybe a character that has more of this trait and whines less.
-Garrus was really awesome for his awesome bro-ish attitude and his jokes and his very calm manner at the same time.
-Varric's personality was awesome too and it made me like a dwarf even though I don't like dwarves at all.
-Alistair was very funny, the way he made those jokes made me laugh for 10 minutes everytime. So I'd like someone with a very good sense of humor as well.
-The Illusive Man was very cold and businesslike and his practical attitude makes me want to just hug him and turn him into a secret cold hearted hopeless romantic that doesn't want to show any affection for my character at all but deep inside he really cares about them and at some point in the game he finally decides to tell you about his feelings. A cold hearted character like TIM would be awesome as well.
-Zevran was okay, he turned out to be a real softie assassin in the end that I didn't think him to be as such when I first let him to my group and his Antivan accent was awesome and he was very naughty, I like THAT....
This is my list for companions, I don't like female characters much. but Morrigan, Jack and Isabella were okay.
And I liked DA2's approach to romance, I could pick anyone I liked without having to choose any specific gender.
Equal love for everyone!
I have a lot more to say but I think it'll get too long.

I don't get why that matters. The player character doesn't know any more of the NPCs sexualities than what has either explicitly stated or been implied in a single game. The player character doesn't know how people would react to him/her if he/she was of the opposite sex. Role-playing and meta-gaming is hardly compatible. Which approach should be the important one?

What matters most for the player character is what the player character knows. In many games(or films and books for that matter) we get to see the occasional scene, involving an antagonist or a friend or any other important character, that the protagonist knows nothing about, and then the player knows more than the their character does, even the first time playing the game. Does it make sense for your player character to make choices based on something he/she doesn't know?

~Minor KotOR spoilers ahead~
In KotOR, the players are shown a scene with Darth Malak giving the orders to bombard Taris, long before the bombardment starts, but the game never gives the player any choice in light of that knowledge. Do you think it should?

It would convey a larger sense of player freedom of choice, but the idea of an omnipresent, omniscient protagonist doesn't appeal to me at all.

The romance icon in the conversation gave it away in my first playthrough. No metagaming involved. In my second playthrough, i played a female character, and the only difference I noticed in the game was that Hawke`s siblings reffered to her as sister, and not brother. that was the only in-game difference. Gender ended up being simply a cosmetic choice. The latter point is from a metagaming view, of course. But thats unavoidable when playing through a game for the second time. Still...replayability is rather important too, given the price of games these days. Things like this removes alot of the replay vallue.

I disagree. Wynne spells were VERY helpful...until her mana ran out. Sten was awesome, but I can see how some would have trouble with him. Fenris's personality got extremely tiring, but he was an excellent fighter. Isabela wasn't bad or good but kinda nessasary. She was the only melee rogue companion in the game (besides tallis but she doesnt count). Zevran sucked at first, but if you leveled him up the right way he was one of the best companions. I agree with Carver, Anders did lag a bit with HEALING spells, and I will ignore Oghren because you said possibly.
As for companions I want... I dunno.

Well deep down that's all it really is. 

I hate it when people treat me differently because I'm female; it's awesome not to see that kind of ridiculous behavior reflected in my video games.

I just want party members who aren't constantly whining and too wrapped up in their own problems to give you any kind of support.
