I'm all for bringing her back as an NPC, but as a companion... err. Is Anora even trained in combat...?

Yes.

She is. Loghain will say she studied swordplay as well as governing. Hell, I think she also studied archery, but I could be mistaken on that front.

Plus, you see her decked out in armor leading the troops to battle for Denerim.

Anora WOULD be trained in combat, but she is always either:

1) the queen, I imagine that keeps her a little busy to follow an Orlesian/Chantry representative around and jump when they ask, OR
2) got the deads when Alistair took the throne.

There is ONE possibility (unhardened Alistair ruling) where she is instead imprisoned indefinately. Still not looking any better for her: it's only until Alis gets the nerve to 'deal' with her and she can't be a threat to his birthright.

Basically according to Bioware's analytics, some unexpectedly small number (around half - can't remember if it was 40% or 60%) actually finished the game. Of those that DID, most of THEM only finished it ONCE (usually with a male, warrior, human noble. I wouldn't be surprised if they used the default name/face/portrait/voice too, but the analytics don't show - or rather share - that information, assuming they even gather it).

...what are they odds they played the game in such a way as to meet all the individual requirements for an imprisoned Anora? And if you're not importing, Alis is automatically King (Anora never mentioned, probably dead) - only option in Awakenings (and some would import their Orlesian no doubt), and the first - and therefore inveitably most popular - option in DA2:Exodus.. We would be lucky to get a cameo. They are not spending thousands - voice, modelling, writing, animation - on a character ALMOST ALL players will not ever see. Ever.

Actually, having an Anora`ish companion could be cool. Not every companion has to be great at fighting. It would be cool if one, or more, was crap at combat but great when it came to dialogue bits of quests and such.

Wouldn't work. A companion like that would be a waste of spot when you're out in combat, unless they got some sort of powerful buff that makes up for it, by increasing the party's abilities, hp, and so on. I get what you're saying though.

a waste of a spot when it comes to combat, sure. But for rp reasons and whatsnot, it would be great. Several of the companions in the BG games also downright suck when it comes to combat, but they are fun to have around. It would make the game abit more challenging too, i suppose. For those that goes for an option like that.

No thanks. I would approve if there was an option to kill her to be honest. Never liked her and never will.

Yes, Finally someone who have the same idea like me To bad Bioware didnt let us say to her "It was your fault, you sl*t" after the Warden escaped the creepy prison. I bet She will make a problem in near future, She will be like her father Loghain, the most respected man.. a Legendary hero to ferelden history becomes a traitor, And I bet Anora will go on the footsteps on her father.. Would like to kill her

The companions are set in stone.There will most likely be no Anora.From what the(unreliable) survey said and from my personal opinion I'm guessing(bear in mind I'm just guessing) that the companions will be

-Cassandra
-Cullen
-Cole
-Kossith Mercenary
-A Tevinter Magister
-Latino female rouge
-Dailish Archer
-A gray warden

That is just my guessing.

I think the chances are low that Anora must be a companion in DA3,i highly doubt it

You contradict yourself, this information is not set in stone. It may possibly be true, but it is in no way set in stone.

[mousestalker]

As delightful as it might be to have hispanic cosmetics as a companion, I'm fairly certain that latinos are not present in Thedas. Of course, only the release of the game will completely clarify that point.

I'm not saying the companions I gave were set in stone,I'm saying that the devs confirmed that the companion cast is set in stone

They have another word for it...there's a nation out there somewhere influenced by hispanic culture.

She is one of the few people that survives DAO regardless of what the PC decides. If Alistair is a solo king, then she is imprisoned. She could then be exiled without problem

If she remains Queen or rules Ferelden jointly with Alistair then she could have been overthrown or deicided to find the Sacred McGuffin Mathom of Andraste or something.

My Surana Warden had convinced personality hardened Alistair to become King and marry Queen Anora (which he carried out, even when my Warden spared and recruited Loghain into the Wardens). I don't think it would make sense for either Alistair or Anora to shirk their responsibilities to the throne.

mousestalker wrote...

Either way, having her available is childsplay.

As a bonus, she brings all kinds of awesome to gameplay. She is machiavellian, brave and intelligent.

I agree, Anora is an interesting and intelligent character. Her goals to establish a university and refill the royal coffers show that she's a capable leader.

mousestalker wrote...

Lastly, she would make one heck of a love interest! 

Except the Landsmeet would only recognize a Human Noble (who wasn't a mage) as King, and she's had very bad experiences with her last husband (who cheated on her, and nearly tossed her - and the entire nation - aside for Empress Celene).

Alistar shirked his reposibilities regardless, he went to find his father.

We have Antivans. Antivans have Spanish accents. Zevran says "Si amor?" to his love interest Warden in Origins, and in Kirkwall, Vincento exclaims, "Maldición" to Hawke; both phrases are Spanish. My Surana Warden and my apostate Hawke were made to be ethnically Antivan.

[ohnotherancor]

I love Anora and want to see her return, but not as a companion. I don't see her playing second fiddle to anyone.

[TEWR]

Alistar shirked his reposibilities regardless, he went to find his father

I could probably make a case for how that's a responsibility to the throne as well.

Bioware has brought companions from worse.  Hell, people you kill yourself come back.  Not even as a companion, just as this "F. you" cameo.

Anora being a party member cutting down hordes of goons defeats the purpose of her character.
