Simple answer: Justice!

Can't believe he hasn't been answered yet. The mage side needs another "orderly" supporter. I don't want the mage-templar war to be a flat, symbolic struggle between good and bad, or order and chaos, or religion and freedom, or something equally allegorical. I want to see mage versus templar period, no symbols.

-----------------
Also more generally, I'm very much for the idea of returning companions. Complaints against returning companions largely have these five reasons:

[1] They don't have the right personality based on your particular play-through in the previous game.
[2] They died in the previous game.
[3] They changed a lot; perhaps out of character. (No previous choices can account for the change)
[4] Their lore was inconsistent.
[5] You hated him.

Re: Have placeholders.
[1] If Fenris was rivaled but the reaver is supposed to be calm, then you get a different reaver. And so on.
[2] If Anders died, you get a different healer.
[3] Any individual can be complex and have different or even contradictory facets. Can work if done well.
[4] If Merril was romanced and disappears with Hawke, you get a different blood mage.
[5] Last time I checked, diversity was a selling point of BW games.

1. Tallis

2. I'd like to have a "Merrill". So maybe Cullen, or Gamlen's daughter, or one of the successfully escaped Circle mages (were there any at all?), Feynriel, ...

3. Sketch.

4. Cassandra

I'd like the game to stay away from exceptionally exceptional characters (Fenris, possessed Anders) unless they are in there for a reson (bastard prince Alistair).


Corypheus should also be back(/there) somehow.

Ones who aren't just a cause wrapped in a shirt. I know he was a special case but Anders became a chore to talk to because he talked about almost nothing but mages, same thing with Sebastian and his personal dramas to a degree, whereas I loved Isabela partly because she didn't really stand for anything (eyyy), she was just a person. Not everyone's going to be neutral, but at least give them some time off from crusading to be a bit more personable.

Female Human Magister/Magister's Apprentice that embodies Tevinter's culture and supports it.

Companions? Well, so far what we have?

DRAGON AGE 1 =  Leliana (LI), Morrigan (LI),  Alistair (LI), Zevran (LI), Sten, Wynne, War Dog, Ogren, Shale (DLC)
--- Results:  4 humans, 1 elf, 1 Qnari, 1 Dwarf, 1 Mabari, 1 Golem

DRAGON AGE 2 = Isabela (LI), Merril (LI), Fenris (LI), Anders (LI), Varric, Bethany, Carver, Aveline, Sebastian (DLC), Tallis (DLC)
--- Results:  6 humans, 3 elves, 1 Dwarf

In DA1 we had 9 companions with 4 Love Interests and 2 Sexual Encounters (Iona/Darren).
In DA2 we had 10 companions with 4 Love Interests and no Sexual Encounters.

I would prefer DA3 to have at least as much companions and  Love Interests as the previous games, from each of these known races:
- Human
- Elf
- Dwarf
- Qnari
- Demon

What we need is more variety in companions and LIs.  Like someone said, would be cool to have a female Qnari LI. Or even a Desire demon LI. :wub:

Besides, this time DA3 will be an open world far bigger than DA1 and DA2. That means more encounters. Maybe we can have some new races discovered, too? :whistle:

As for the characters from the previous games, would be cool for all of them to make cameos, just like in DA2. But not as LIs. After all some of them are even engaged already with the previous main character.... except Isabella and Zevran. They will want to 'have fun' with ANYONE!!  :P

I dunno, I think the concept of these Teviter Lyrium Powered Super Soldiers is kind of cool, I'd like to meet a couple more, see what their perspective is. If I can find some that'd be even cooler.

On topic,

Female Warroir (LI, may end up being Casandra)
Treventor mage (LI, cause you know we need alittle crazy in our lives, I vote for female, just so I can look at the potential dresses she could wear)


When you say female, do you mean "Born that way female" or..."Doesn't really matter so long as female now" female? Because if it's the later...I have a good candidate. 

Maevaris?
Throw her in there as well. Why not?


Why not toss a broodmother in while we're at it?

What are you trying to say, exactly?


I thought it was one of those "list random thiings for LI" poats.

I'd like a reasonable Templar who provides a sympathetic insight on the Order and the people in it as well as a reasonable explanation of their philosophy.

Same with a Seeker/Cassandra.

Perhaps a Rivaini Seer to provide insight on Rivaini culture and the Seers.

Same with a Tevinter Magister. They shouldn't give a squeaky clean account of the superiority of Tevinter, but an honest account of its strengths, flaws, weaknesses, society, and struggle with the Qun.

A Qunari/Tal-Vashoth

Walker, Dalish Ranger

A Grey Warden, because I missed them.

I would prefer that all the companions be new characters. I'm not so attached to the old characters (Though I do love Sten, Shale, and Sigrun.) that I need them in this game.

Now if you want to get specific:

I'd love a Shield Maiden type character. Like Aveline but less awkward. (Been watching alot of "Viking's" recently and Katheryn Winnick's character is just so darn awesome.)

A new dwarf. Male or female works.

A Kossith or Qunari or Tal'Vashoth ... or... whatever the heck those horned people are. (Preferably female and preferably romancable.)

I think a neutral mercenary type character who isn't commited to your cause would be an awesome and potentially hilarious addition. Like Bronn in ASoIaF or Zaeed in Mass Effect. (Though mostly like Bronn) They will do whatever is asked of them, so long as the money is good.

I also think it would be cool if they gave us a companion from a new race or from a different subset of an existing race. A new culture of elf, dwarf, human, or Qunari.

While I would prefer all new companions, I would like to have Varric again.

Even though I like Varric well enough and really love Morrigan, I don't want companions we have already had. I'm okay with NPCs like Cullen and Cassandra being fleshed out though.

Cassandra (My choice above all), Varric, Sigrun.

A Sellsword type would be cool as well.

I figure we'll get

Ditzy foreign archer - like Lileana/Sebastian
Exotic apostate Mage - like Morrigan/Merrill
Goody goody sword and board - like Alistair/Avaline
Spirit bonded healer - like Wynn/Anders
Dwarf - as long as its Varric.

Well I want Sten. I still have not given him cookies yet. and the banter that morrigan would have to say is awe the wardens lapdog come to play the hero now. I also want deeproads with shale. I still want to know what all those locations were on the DAO deeproads map that one looked like a city of mirrors.

Cassandra, Cullen, and one previous companion; I appreciate the need for new faces, but one familiar one would be great. I may be going out on a limb, but Varric seems like a shoe-in for a companion.

No option for short, fat, balding, 1/3rd man, 1/3rd turtle and 1/3rd chocolate companion? I am disappointed.

lets see

Anders
Oghren
Leliana also for LI
Sten

I just love the banter between Oghren and pretty much anyone else with him and Sten was the prefect straight man and could put morrigan in her place ;) if  anyone could. I would love to see Anders interact with Leliana
 
A female warrior would be nice both as a companion and LI

Yeah it'd be nice to have Cullen but honestly I just want new companions.

I was disappointed how different Anders turned out to be (I know he had all that baggage to deal with) but I don't care for old companions coming back just because I'm not sure if BW is going to change their personalities/looks again~

Personally, I would like a Tevinter magister with a biting wit and a heart of gold.

Also, Varric.
