1. Cullen - In DA: O, after the Circle of Magi story, he's very psychologically damaged and is very certain that mages MUST be contained - not like Meredith, but you get the point. Throughout DA: 2 Cullen has shown much support for the Templars cause, but at the very last moment he saw the madness of Meredith.
So, in DA: I, Cullen is against mages from the start, but I would bet that he's not as hostile as right after the Circle. There are so many opportunities to explore with this character.
E.g. As the protagonist you can have heavy influence on how he looks at mages. You can make him think that mages must be contained, but contained properly. Perhaps you can even make him want every mage to be free. Aaaand you can have him hate every mage out there.
What if, when you have influenced his view on mages, you can have him become a major symbol for the people of Thedas. Like when you place Alistair on the throne - difference here is that, how he views the mages' will have a big impact on, how a new templar order could become, if the mages' rebellion have destroyed the templars..
2. Leliana. Kinda obvious really. It's Orlais, she's part of the Seekers and she's very religious. We need the religious sort in this game, as one of the major problems ofc are Templars/Mages conflict, which ultimately comes to the chantry.
3. We need a mage character. Someone that, like Cullen, can become a symbol for the mages. This character must believe in justice, but also order. (companions can't stray too far off each other). Ofc he/she believes that the system needs a change, but he/she still wants the rebellion to stop, so that Thedas can have a better system. Cullen and him/her can have some very interesting conversations, without they won't just end up killing each other. I think this character should be a female. Uuuh Cullen and that character could be lovers. Would make for a very interesting new look on mages and templars.
4. Sten or another qunari. An interesting qunari. Perhaps one that believes in the qun, but still slowly strays away from it. How, I do not know. Anyways, the whole templar/mage thing can't be the only aspect of this univers they'll explore in DA: I. They could have this character help leading up for a game, where the big focus is on The Qunari/Thedas.
5. A person that's somehow connected to the darkspawn. A Grey Warden perhaps, or.. well anything. Darkspawn has been such a big thing from the start. DA: 2 was a more personal story, so not many darkspawns there, but in DA: I things can get crazy, so why the hell not throw a darkspawn related character, that plays an important part in, perhaps, a major darkspawn reveal. Something connected to the chantry... (Black City, sins, Tevinter magisters you know),
yea yea I know it's nearly all new characters. So what..
