"Encounter five all-new party members and an old favorite from Dragon Age: Origins"

everyone's first reaction seems to be "wait, only ONE of the DA:O companions is returning?" but perhaps (and I admit, I really, really hope...) we've misunderstood this and it's actually meant as

"Encounter five all-new party members and an old favourite NON-PARTY MEMBER from Dragon Age: Origins can now join you in addition to your existing companions"

wishful thinking? maybe. but BioWare put a lot of effort into these characters, and most of the epilogues leave their fates rather open. yes, there's some closure, maybe so and so goes off to do such and such, but very few of them have that ring of finality to them so it wouldn't be too hard to write them into future adventures

and besides, if we really are importing not just our characters but the choices we made as them, then there's some pretty strong potential ties which would be hard to ignore

Hmmm... possible, but probably unlikely.

If what you say is true, I'd like to vote on Isabella.

It only makes sense after all.

She's a woman of the sea, we're playing close to the sea...

I'm pretty sure Oghren is returning. He is shown in the video a couple times and someone took a screenshot from the video showing his face.

I'm kinda thinking it's a slightly older Bevin, capable of actually lifting a sword now.

Edit: Or Sandal. Maybe the Poet Tree.

if you think that way then who is the one that left you no matter what in Origins? Morrigan is the onlyone i can think of, the rest of your companions can either be killed or told to get lost, but none of them has much impact on the main storyline. Alistair is the other one if you keep Logain but it doesn't look this way from the trailers.

I could see Gorim coming back, since Oghren's definetly back so Steve Blum is obviously doing a lot of lines again.

$20 bucks says it's Goldanna, yelling at King Alistair for still not having enough money.

My wishful thinking is that you could *choose* your *own* "old favorite", from the list of DAO party members. With the obvious exception of Morrigan. But, I'm pretty sure it ain't so.

*casts Dispel Hope*

While I'm sure it would be thrilling, having multiple companions that we would need to write up in their entirety only to allow you to have ONE of them would be a massive waste of resources. Considering that the budget for an expansion is already pretty small, it's not really feasible.

Sorry, just wearing my Expectations Management cap at the moment. Image IPB

LOl I would love if Sandal were a choice...he's a beast, if you remember that room full of dead ogres and other darkspawn...hehehe Enchantment ftw!! But really my hope is that we get continuation to find out what happens with Morrigan.
