If the mom is a badass like Adaia from the City Elf Origin? Totally.

Since BioWare likes to give us whiny, co-dependent, stay-at-home mothers for human protagonists like Eleanor for the Cousland Warden, Revka for the Amell Warden and ****ing Leandra for Hawke, I say skip it. The last thing I want is another whiny "I can't do anything without my husband" housewife voiced by Deborah Moore (no offense to her, she's a great voice actress, but I can't stand the characters she voices in Dragon Age) to come on quests.

She ought to disapprove of every person the player tries to shack up with. Except the Broodmother.

And if you leave her behind on quests, she nags you about it. Also, she keeps track of how long you've been playing and tutt-tutts you if you've been playing for too long.

It worked ok in Asunder, but I definitely preferred DAO's "out on your own" vibe to DA2's.

You did a lot more whining in this one post then any of those characters did.

Since when is Eleanor not a badass?

Eleanor isn't whiny at all, and both fights with her child and is willing to die fighting while protecting her husband, we never even meet Revka, and Leandra said something awful in the immediate aftermath of losing a child, while grieving.  

I don't necessarily want to have a mom who travels with my character, but those moms are not what you claim they are.  I'd rather have a live mom than continuing the typical Disneyesque trope of missing mothers.

 I think we should have the hero's mother as a squadmate in DA3. I dont think we got enough of it in DA2, so DA3 should rectify that. The mom could act as a clothes washer and food maker too, for convenience. Maybe have an angry stepdad that doesnt like you as the main storyline in DA3 too.

This is a joke post right? <_<

Your HATE for the Cousland Origin is showing. <_<

Revka's attitute is meaningless for an Amell Warden, since he was in the Circle, and we didn't get to know her in DAO. And she was "created" during DA2's development.
Eleanor knows how to fight. She talked about it with a female Cousland, and she's enraged if the Cousland Warden treats her as a weak woman to protect (the term, if I recall, was "Orlesian noblewoman" or something similar). She didn't whine in the origin (though she feared for his husband and sons, which every mother who care about his loved one would), and she wasn't dependant. She's capable of managing Highever, since Bryce thought that her presence would undermine the Warden's authority.
Leandra was more or less  co-dependent and a stay-at-home mother, and she mourned the loss of her children, but 1)not every mother is a strong, indipendant woman with fighting skills, as not every man is like that, and 2) she lost one-two children. This is (in general) a very bad hit for a parents, and not everyone is able to react (or react soon, since in Act 2 she got better). I'd like to see if Adaia was alive how she would've reacted to her son's death.

I'd say it's more an hate about humans or human nobles, since the complain was about a NPC we didn't even see in the games.

Hey guys do you want to go on adventure with my mom? -your companions look at you like your mad-

[mickey111]

Maybe if/when Bioware decides to stop writing their characters as ****ing walking cliches I could go for it. Only example of a mum I liked in a action/adventure story was Michaels mum from Burn Notice. She was pretty bad ass.

[Fortlowe]

I know we're 2 pages in and it's probably already been said, but yeah.... I'd 'adventure' the heck out of your mom.

yeah, this is a bs op. i guess other posters are just ignoring the bs, and running w/the idea anyway. the bsn is chatty like that.

[Shadow Fox]

Heh this would only work with a child protaganist for me.

[RandomSyhn]

I have to agree the title of this thread was promising but if I have a mom adventuring with me she better be BAMF and probably the reason I'm out adventuring. A BAMF dad would work too. Actually could we set up a family dynamic similar to the Winchesters in supernatural type thing. I think that might work. Also a good set up for killing off the parental figure if bioware be so inclined. Sacrifice durring a battle where the PC is out classed and out of their league and Mom comes in to save the day, then possibly bites it while doing so. Better emotional connection.

[PsychoBlonde]

It'd actually be funny if one of the COMPANIONS has an embarrassing but kickass parent to lug around. Why should the PC be only one with relatives.

That sounds like a great idea! Like for example a villian when you demand they get on there hands and knees can shout back

oh man! I thought this was going to be a cool story about how your mum i into RPG's.... disappoint!

I can't speak for the OP, obviously, but my mom is actually playing DA2 right now. Hopefully that counters your disappointment, somehow

[Shadow Fox]

But wouldn't it be really awkward if one of your squadies hit on your mom or asked you if you knew what she liked about a guy?
