 There seem to be quite a few threads garnering support for certain companions or companion concepts.  I was searching for a thread with ideas for a complete roster, and I didn't find any.  I was thinking about it myself, and generally, we get two mages, two rogues, and two warriors with the occasional floater/DLC character here and there.  From the pool of characters we already know and characters you can imagine, how would you fill out some or all of the following:

Mage #1:
Mage #2:
Rogue #1:
Rogue #2:
Warrior #1:
Warrior #2:
Floater #1:
Floater #2:
Floater #3:
General thoughts on a roster:

Here is mine:
Mage #1: Rhys 

Mage #2: A female apostate Rivaini seer/hedge witch (practicing magic similar to voodoo), or a grown-up Feynriel, with a somniari specialization.

Rogue #1: A fallen Antivan noble lady, working as a courtesan/spy/rogue, eventually trying to find and kill the noble responsible for hiring the Crows who killed her family.  I imagine her as a femme fatale - beautiful, seductive, and dangerous - and, if a LI, her trust would be hard to earn (kind of like Morrigan or Jack), and she would choose her vengeance over your PC's ideals.

Rogue #2: A Grey Warden - male or female, doesn't matter to me.  I want to see more of that dual-wielding awesomeness like Duncan!

Warrior #1: Cassandra Pentaghast

Warrior #2: Cullen

Floater #1: A disillusioned, idealisitic Dwarf from Kal-Sharok who would like to re-establish the city's connection to the outside world, with a quest revealing the "questionable things" the dwarves in Kal-Sharok have had to do to survive and offering the protagonist a chance to either convince the city to re-establish relations with the outside world or remain isolationist.  Maybe a bard from the Artisan caste.  Male or female, I just want to go to Kal-Sharok.

Floater #2: Maybe a male City Elf rogue archer leading an underground organization trying to achieve equality for elves.  Gossip says he's just a thief leading a thieves' organization, but they steal to fund elf equality.

Floater #3: A Qunari!

General thoughts on a roster:
1. Please make all skill trees available to all companions.  I disliked in DA2 when my mages couldn't learn any mage skill, specializations notwithstanding.

2. Please offer at least 3 rogues.  If chest/trap/unlocking is going to be rogue-exclusive again, I would like a greater variety from which to choose a perma-partymember.

3. Please allow greater customization for armor.  If not the wear-anything option of DAO, at least a few choices to choose from would be nice.

4. Throwing out ideas is all well and good, but hopefully all the companions tie into the story.  "You help me, I help you" works too, but it's always good to see a companion with a personal stake in the main story's outcome.

5. If we get them, try to integrate DLC companions equally into the game compared to regular companions, with as much dialogue, interaction, etc. as the others.

6. As far as love interests go, I wouldn't mind the "bi-sexual" or available to any gender PC option.  I think this provides the most freedom of choice to the most preferences.  When it comes to balancing the weight of "realism" of all bi- companions vs. the freedom of choice to the PC, freedom wins for me every time.  I only considered bi- the characters who specifically said so in their dialogue, otherwise I considered their universal availability as a game mechanic, not a sexual preference.

Minor Asunder spoilers ahoy.

Mages: I’d prefer Adrian rather than Rhys from Asunder. She’s far more combustible in the party mix and her willingness to frame a friend for murder gives her character a dangerous edge that would make me pay attention to her friendship/rivalry score.

I’d like a Tevinter mage for a change of pace from the Chantry dogma on magic. Also, Tevinter mage skill tree.

Warriors: one from Cullen, Evangeline or Cassandra is fine for the regulation templar type.
Maybe a Chasind Barbarian for the other?

Rogues: Charade for the Amell family connection of course. I can’t think of a good second choice. Someone totally new maybe.

Dagna rather than Sandal for our resident enchanter this time? Change it up!

[Battlebloodmage]

Rogue: 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.

Warrior: 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.

Mage: 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.

[Teddie Sage]

Anders is a must to me. If he was killed, I think it would be nice if he faked death and if Hawke missed the spine. Anders is a master type healer after all, a simple flesh wound isn't enough to kill him, in my opinion.

Other than that, I want Varric, Isabela, Sigrun, Wynne (if Asunder isn't canon), Morrigan, Sten/Arishok, Tallis, Charade, Bethany/Carver, Hawke (maybe?), Fenris, Merrill, Aveline, Leliana, Cassandra, Zevran, ...

No, if the murderknife is drawn, there is murder done.

Such is the law of the murderknife.

Leliana cheated death. Anders did too for Awakening if he was killed in battle. In other words, it's up to the writers to make the characters come back or not.

It's been confirmed if Anders died, he's dead and there will be no retcon. But if you kept him alive, he'll be alive.

Justice is another story however...

[Teddie Sage]

It could be possible that Justice comes back one way or another.

[JimboGee]

I wouldn't mind seeing Leliana again, as long as she doesn't sound like a simpleton this time. I also want to see Isabella and Fenris cos he's a badass. Other than that new party members..

Actually, I love all of these!  

Adrian would be a pretty interesting companion - I would be interested to see what she would do.  I liked Rhys for the Wynne connection.

The Tevinter mage would be an interesting shift in viewpoint from the chantry.  Charade would be great, too.  I wanted to put Dagna down for mage, but she'd be blocked from all the skill trees, except maybe some sort of lyrium specialization.  It would be fun if we ran into her again.

Heh, I'll throw my support in for these. A Tal Vashoth, a Grey Warden and a Tevinter Magister might be cool, too.

2 healers
2 lock pickers
2 tanks

STOP RETCONNING DEATHS PLEASE

ok now onto this


Mage #1: An extremely anti-templar mage woman who has kind of a gothy feel. Not to Morrigan's level (Female Elf/Human)
Mage #2: A more shy mage girl who was with the circle before the madness started. Your actions and way you talk to her decide if she stays with the circle or becomes a rebel. (Female Elf/Human)
Mage #3: Older male elf who was with the circle. He is pro circle because blood mages killed a friend of his earlier on and believes Mages must make sacrifices for the good of Thedas
Rogue #1: Human male who's sister was taken and later killed by the templars. He's a dagger user.
Rogue #2: Dwarf girl who is neutral on the conflict. She is with you because she believes Orzammar will not be able to defend itself against the darkspawn if the surfacers are in conflict)
Rogue #3: An older dalish elf archer girl who is with you to pay a dept for when you saved her daughter earlier in the game
Warrior #1: Cullen because it will cause a lot of meltdowns on the forums
Warrior #2: Dwarf male who joins for whatever reason. His view on the war depends on your actions. (For example if you are a mage and kill a bunch of innocents, he will become more pro templar)
Warrior #3: Aveline

Floaters:

1. SWIFTRUNNER for whatever reason. Only appears if you killed the Dalish in DAO
2. Connor from DAO if you didn't make the deal with the demon. Is a boss fight otherwise.


Also Dagna will be a camp resident/ friend of the protag. She will be extremely conflicted on the issue and will also be influenced based on the PC's decisions.




But realistically, Female Dwarves please

[3043907]

really i feel like there should be these in it but other than that come up with somthing new

1 an inqusiter definatly i dont really care but just have them
2 shale or a new golem
3 fenris
4 a Qunari!
5 Teventer mage

[TheInquisitor]

Cassandra, Cullen and Leliana. The rest should be new faces.

[3043907]

How about these handsome felows?

I wonder if they'll make Leliana a companion again.  They brought back Anders, so it seems possible, since she's central to the plot's conflict, probably.

[schalafi]

All new except Anders and Cullen!  :innocent:

[Knight of Dane]

The only rturning characters I would want is Carver and Bethany, if they could make sense with the story and their possible fates.

Other than that as long asthe party is balanced and I have choice of set up I just want them to make a cool new roster.

[Lazengan]

Sandal
Architect
Profane
Demon

[Blackrising]

Cassandra and a female Qunari.
Everything else I'll trust Bioware with.

[Yana Montana]

Snarky dwarf, Shale or other golem, male elf mage as a comic relief, grumpy female rogue who will hook up with an elf mage, desire demon for continuous innuendo jokes, random valiant virgin and Cassandra.

[Truffle]

Uh, do we really need to repost that pic everywhere?

It would be silly not to bring back Leliana and Cassandra. But as party members though that is questionable.

[Hatchetman77]

I want female dwarf "cured" Shale as a companion, but given a new name and you don't know who she really is till near the end of the game.

Oh, and make her romancable before the reveal to play with everyone's mind....

Sigrun as companion and LI
