So we know that we are going to have 9 companion's. I assume that means three of each class. Since we know we already have a warrior (Cassandra), a mage (Vivienne), and a rouge (Varric Yay!) that leaves two of each. Here is my thoughts on that.

Warriors: In my mind the Iron Bull is a confirmed companion. He is prominently in the teaser, and various captions have asked "Friend or Foe" in regards to him. He's in. Which only leaves one warrior companion. In my mind the only way he is going to be a templar is if it's Cullen, and I don't think that is the case. We already have Cassandra, they would be too similar. So I think it is going to be a Grey Warden. I'd like to see him dual wielding, but that may be reserved for rouge's so we'll see.

Mages: Obviously one is going to be a Hedge Mage/ Apostate. We need to have a mage that balances out Vivienne's pro-circle-ness. How this is implemented I'm not sure, but given Vivienne's skills we saw at PAX, I see this companion as being a healer. We'll see. I think the third mage will be a Tevinter Magister. I have very little evidence, but given the warriors having an "outsider" in the Iron Bull, I think this is a reasonable guess.

Rouges: This one is harder. The leaked survey mentioned a Cole and a Sera. If you've read Asunder (and you totally should!), you know who Cole is. I really, REALLY hope he is a companion. He is awesome, and again fills in that "outsider" perspective. Also he's daggers, so if he is a companion the last (possibly Sera?) would most likely be long bow. This of course suggest Dalish, but that's just speculation.

So there you go, my speculations. What do you think?

who said its 3 3 3... origins was 5 2 2 and DA2 was 2, 3 1/2, 2

(Warrior, rogue, mage)

Is it possible Fiona could be one of the mages ? I mean what is she doing lore wise recently ?

[wcholcombe]

Fiona is currently at Andoral's reach with the rest of the circle mages. Possibly preparing for a siege by the templars or I guess it is possible they have run scattered to the winds to make it harder to find them.

I don't think the speculation is wrong. I think the number will be 4/3/2. Iron Bull, Cassandra, Cullen, whoever the 4th warrior is.
Varic, Sera, and Cole as Rogues
and then
Vivienne and the Magister for mages. Gives you the two opposite points of view on Magic. No need for an apostate. To the hardliners a Magister is an apostate.

[Ianamus]

Well, we have one of each class confirmed, Varric, Cassandra and Vivienne.

Iron Bull, Sera and Grey Warden are as good as confirmed in my eyes, so that's 3 warriors 2 rogues and 1 mage.

I think the elf mage seen in several concept pieces is going to be a companion. I'm still unsure on exactly who he is though. Id rather not have another incredibly pro mage freedom healer, because I couldn't stand Anders for that very reason. Maybe he's a magister? But he looks more like a Hedge mage, unless they are going for the "outcast" vibe to contrast Viviennes more "Powerful, important and well-dressed" design.

Will we get a third mage? At the moment I'm not sure. I'd say its more likely well get a DLC mage, as the other two games had a dlc rogue and a dlc warrior, so Im not sure there will be another mage in the initial nine.

Pure speculation from here, but I think we'll have a female dwarf warrior and a male human rogue as the final two companions. It evens out the gender and race ratio's and gives us a 'standard' male LI and someone to represent whichever Dwarven faction we will be visiting in this game (likely Kal'Sharok), the way Oghren represented Orzammar in Origins.

So that's 4 warriors, 3 rogues, 2 mages - 4 Humans, 2 Elves, 2 Dwarves, 1 Qunari - 5 male, 4 female. Good representation across the board.

That's what I think at the moment, although it will probably change when more companions are revelaed.

 I think Hawke should return as a companion, or DLC companion. With choices you made from DA2 effecting them.

 Warriors 
Cassandra Female Human (Confirmed)
Grey Warden with beard Human 
Cullen Male Human
Iron Bull Male Qunari Tal'Vashoth 

Rogue
Varic Male Dwarf (Confirmed)
Sera Female Elf 
? Female ? 

Mage 
Vivienne Female Human Mage (Confirmed)
Bald Elf Guy Male Mage 

5 Male 4 Female
4 Warriors 3 Rogues 2 Mages 
4 Human  2 Elves 1 Dwarf 1 Qunari 1 Unknown 


To anyone talking about the Warden and Hawke being companions Gaider has said there's a 0% chance of that happening because they absolutely hate that idea, if the warden and hawke appear they will be NPC'S according to Gaider.

There are no weapon restrictions within your class so you need to take that into account, the companions will be aanything you make them to be.

I'm still hoping for Avexis.

[Zenbry]

You guys are right. The numbers may not add up to 3,3,3. But I like the symmetry. And I forgot to put in races and genders! So I think the Warden will be a human male, Hedge Mage a female elf, Magister a male elf, Sera a female dalish, and Cole is male other (Trying not to spoil anyone).

Anyway that leaves the count as 5 men, 4 woman, and 3 Humans, 3 Elves, 1 Qunari, 1 Dwarf, and 1 spoiler.

[Potato Cat]

I'm not convinced we'll have any more than two mages. It's a bit punishing to an anti-mage character for one, and having mana regeneration would make healing a lot easier. Having just a three mage party could make that significantly easier, nevermind a four mage party, (especially if Arcane Warrior returns).

I think we'll get 4 warriors, 3 rogues and 2 mages, myself.

[Sylvius the Mad]

Avernus would be a fine companion.

[Chanda]

I like your signature. That should be a bumper sticker.

[Angrywolves]

Don't w ant Cole.
Isn't he basically a ghost , and a murderous one at that.
I hope Bull isn't a companion either.
Hope he's just an ally.
I'm not enthralled with Varric being a party member either, but we're stuck with him.
Some people have suggested we may have temp companions who would only be along for certain missions , like Tallis was in MOTA.
No way of knowing anything for sure until they announce it.

Magister can't be an elf, elves are slaves in Tevinter. To be a magister you have to be human.

To be a magister you have to be a mage, and powerful.

One of the few virtues Tevinter has is that it doesn't really discriminate based on race. Everyone's fair game; they'll enslave human, elf, qunari, mages of all three. Only dwarves are spared that.

Likewise, it's concievable, though almost certainly extremely rare, that an elf mage of particular power may rise through the ranks.

Source? I believe the english translation of the german version of the leaked survey said "up to 10 companions". I assume that means 9 normal ones and a secret companion.


My predictions:

Warriors - Cassandra, Iron Bull, Grey Warden

Rogues - Varric, Cole, Sera

Mages - Vivienne, Dorian


Based on those, I believe companion 9 will be another mage and I've no clue about companion 10.

Also, I for one seriously doubt they'll be giving us three mages. They seem to have something against allowing the possibility of a full-mage party.

In DA2, Fenris' sister (a free elf in Tevinter) says that she will be made an apprentice if she turns him over. Also in The World of Thedas, Tevinter is described as a magocracy. The power of magic is more important than race.

Edit: Former_Fiend already answered this. Sorry!

My prediction:

Warriors 
Cassandra, female human (Confirmed)
Grey Warden, male human 
Cullen, male human 
Iron Bull, male qunari

Rogues
Varric, male dwarf (Confirmed)
Sera, female elf 
Leliana, female human

Mages 
Vivienne, female human (Confirmed)
Dorian, elf male 

The only ones I'm really not sure about at this point is Cullen and Leliana. But if they are not party-members I am at least pretty sure that they will be 'agents' or fairly non-trivial NPCs in some other way. I'm also betting (hoping) on Cassandra, Cullen, Sera and Dorian as love interests.

[KiwiQuiche]

I really don't want Cullen as a companion. Or I hope he's one we don't have to recruit or can outright kill him. Spineless coward.

[Han Shot First]

The Iron Bull, Sera, and the Grey Warden are about as close to being confirmed without it being official as you can get. Besides the leaked survey all three have featured heavily in more recent concept art, and the Grey Warden and Sera were briefly seen in one of the gameplay videos. The Iron Bull is all over the trailers.

At this point I'd be shocked if any of three didn't end up as companions.

[Battlebloodmage]

We have seen Sera, Cassandra, Varric, and Vivienne in gameplay footage, so they're in the game as companions. Grey Warden and presumably Iron Bull appear in cutscenes, so they may or may not be playable characters. Cullen is definitely in the game, but we don't know if he's a companion.

[thats1evildude]

My gut feeling is that the Iron Bull isn't a companion, but rather an adversary. Sure, he's been featured in a bunch of concept art, so he's clearly going to be in the game. But if the proverbial cat is out of the bag, why not just say he was a companion?

Also, I get an ominous vibe from the guy. In all the concept art I've seen, he's always by himself, except in one image where he seems to be in close proximity to a dragon. I would not be surprised in the least if he wasn't acting as a sort of lieutenant to the actual Big Bad.
