 So we know that Verric and Cassandra will be returning as companions.  I truly hope that is it on returning characters and all our other companions are brand new characters.  I know people like seeing old faces but for me useing characters over and over just makes the world seem small.  Have plenty of cameos and whatnot.  But let our party be filled out with new people to get to know and love.

P.S.  i take back everything I wrote above if the returning character is Sigrun.

[OLDIRTYBARON]

I see your point, but I think I'd make allowance for some of the Awakening companions. That expansion short changed a good cast of characters in my opinion. I'd like to see Sigrun make a return, but aside from her I'm fine with just Varric and Cassandra.

It's hard to remember that with returning characters we won't just pick up where we left off. We're not the same protagonist and thus they don't know the new us like the old us. While Sigrun (as an example) would be great to have around again, part of me wonders how she'd even react to the Inquisitor, the Inquisition, or anything. Hard to say.

I thought Cullen was going to be a companion? No? Well, I was lied to.

[ForceXev]

Honestly, I couldn't care less if the other Dragon Age companions don't even have a cameo. IMO, the Dragon Age series has been really bad at creating characters for me to care about. Give me a fresh start, and give me good characters with depth and a reason to care about them.

He wasn't confirmed.





Yet.

I'm fine with returning characters like Merrill, Isabela or Cassandra being companions. I'm uncertain about previous companions like Varric or Anders being companions again. I'll wait and see of course, but I'm slightly uneasy about having one of Hawke's staple companions return as one in Inquisition.

I too want new companions, but really aside from Varric there is no one confirmed as a companion from previous games. Cassandra and Cullen, if he is to appear, were not companions previously. We dont know much about Cassandra (unless you watched Dawn of the Seeker), and even though Cullen was briefly featured in both 1 and 2, his overall story and personality is not known. As a Templar that has directly experienced corruption of Mage and Templar alike, his perspective on and potential role in the upcoming conflict interests me greatly.

I dont mind cameos from previous companions,where they make sense. For example, if DAI involves world wide chaos then it makes sense for King Alistair (or Queen Anora) to make a brief appearance. Leliana's appearance, given her Orlesian background and relationship with the Devine makes sense. Of course we know Bodhan and Sandal were going to Orlais, so chances are we will see them too. Other previous companions, such as Oghren, Merrill, Zevran or Fenris, may have less of a reason to be included, although I am sure a case could be made.

i assume they chose varric because he was a fan favorite among the DA2 party, but i am wondering what effect his personal mission involving bartrand will have on him depending on how you chose to resolve it, he might start to go loopy later on.

you make a good point about wanting characters with depth and a reason to care about them. 

[Nefla]

I agree. I wish the companions were entirely new but so much for that. I hope that the returning characters are temporary companions like with Jowan/Leske/Soris/etc...where you team up for a while and then go your separate ways. I doubt I will get what I want but I hope that there are enough interesting NEW companions that I don't have to take any of the returning ones. Also I hope Bodahn and Sandal aren't in it but try almost certainly will be.

[deuce985]

Varric is really the only returning companion so far. Cassandra was never a companion. Still plenty to explore with her. I would like to see at least one more familiar face returning and then the rest completely new characters.

[TsaiMeLemoni]

After they confirm Tallis as a companion they can be done with returning characters.

What exactly diffrentiates Merill and Isabela from Varric and Anders? Merill and Isabela were also companions in DA 2...

It's a new game so I'd like most of the companions to be new. I pumped that Varric is making a return though. Cassandra was never a companion we don't know very much about her (Unless you watched the movie). I'm not going to be thrilled about Cullen becoming a companion, but he's the JB of the DA Universe (Bad at his job, annoying to listen to, and his fans are border line pyscho)

I do want to see past companions make some kind of appearance in some way at least. It's nice to see how past companions have changed and what they're currently up to.

[Hatchetman77]

I liked Verric but I'm not pumped about his return as a companion. I think its time to move onto something new.

[Lokiwithrope]

Well, if we ain't going to have returning characters, we might as well have the Cole Train.

[Magdalena11]

I'm hoping for a whole new crew, except Varric. I don't count Cassandra or Cullen (if they include him) because I haven't traveled or chatted with them.

I don't want to see the return of any of the DA2 characters I romanced because presumably they're still with Hawke. I definitely don't want to see Hawke, or even the Warden. The same goes double for Origins romances. I'd like a fresh slate to develop a whole new set of preferences.

Isabela was only an NPC in origins and Merrill was only a party member breifly in the Dalish origin before returning as a companion in the next game. Anders, on the other hand, was a full companion for the warden in Awakening and again for Hawke, while Varric was a full companion for Hawke and will seemingly be one for the Inquisitor as well.

I don't want either of them to be companions in Inquisition, I was only saying that their situation in Dragon Age 2 as NPC's in the previous game returning as companions is fine but characters like Anders or Varric who are being full companions twice I'm not so sure about.

I think it's important to have some returning party members return as either members in your party or NPCS.

While I will agree that I want mostly new characters, I think that returning characters are vital to the Dragon Age Universe, especially if Bioware is pitching how everything is connected to one another and that the causes your Warden or Hawke decided to do effect Thedas.

There's also something cool about seeing a returning character and know their back story, seeing where they are today,  and knowing that your PC has no idea about the pain or suffering some of these characters have gone through. It makes you feel more involved in the world and  makes you realize that Thedas really is a "small world". (much like real life)

[Rawgrim]

If it fits the story, I am fine either way.

[Damien-III]

There always was one companion that acted as a bridge between games.

You had Oghren in DA:O and DA:A. Then Anders in DA:A and DA2. And now Varric for DA2 and DA:I.

[Key_of_Twilight]

I'm hoping Cullen returns once again and is a potential Love interest. :3 But that is the fangirl in me speaking, on one note I also hope that Nathaniel in some way appears. Maybe Alistair? Seeing how a new Archdemon is going to appear, or is going to appear. >_> I would assume that someone force it to wake up and go rawr all over Thedas.

Seeing if anyone read the books you learn that Morrigan's Sister tells Alistair that the Dragons can be forced to awake with the Theirin Bloodline. Or with Dragon blood, but since King Calenhad Theirin they had partial dragon blood in their line. Soooo.. ._. right now per speculation, I just will pray to the maker that Cullen will be a love interest and will be in DA:I

[dorianpervus]

I just have a thing for bring back previous companions (besides expansions.) Bringing Varric back just doesn't seem right since he is a sort of Icon for Dragon Age 2 in being one of the more important companions and being the narrator. I hope he doesn't outshine the rest of the companions the way he did others did in DA2.

But again, expansion and DLC companions kind of get a pass considering they weren't with us for too long.

[Nightwing99]

[Kalas Magnus]
