 I miss how you could just go to a companion at any point and talk to them,, like in Origins. I really wasn't a fan of the limited interactions in DA2 and ME3. I really hope you guys at Bioware will bring that back. Though did love all the special mini cutscenes with all the different characters. It just felt like you had more interaction with them in Origins than in DA2. All in all I'm extremely excited for DA:I and I really hope I get accepted for the Dragon Age Keep beta

Agreed, and they have said you'll be able to interact with your companions when you want to again.

[DyneEnigma]

Sweet that's awesome. I've been reading but I haven't seen where they have talked about companion interaction. I'm playing through Origins again now and I remembered how much I loved the companion interface in it.

True that.

You get to also hug your companions as well. I also love companion interaction.

It's the little things like this that add up. So glad they're doing this

Lets just spend the rest of this thread enjoying this fact...

When they switched to that auto dialogue in DA2 and ME3 it felt like your friends didnt even aknowledge you.

It's little things like this that make me excited for Inquisiton!

I would much rather have companions interact with each other and the environment (which they really can't do if the player can talk to them anywhere with anyone) then be able to talk to them anywhere.

In fact, I really don't see much point in it. Why would it matter if the player can talk to them anywhere?

In fact, thinking about it, I'm pretty sure that being able to talk to your companions anywhere would confine the conversations to the two of you standing still and facing each other while the camera flips back and forth.

Which, frankly, is really lame compared to what BioWare is capable of doing and has been doing for years. I love how conversations in the modern games actually have characters moving, leaning, sitting, standing, shifting their weight, picking up objects, talking to one another.

This sounds like a serious step back. And for what?

I don't get why you would dislike being able to talk to your companion. You say it's lame, but don't give any reason for it.

Did you somehow miss my last post? The big one right above yours?

I also liked how the companions just stood there.

All the time.

Year after year.

At least in Origins it wasn't so obvious. But I wouldn't mind the companions actually wandering about your castle or doing stuff in their rooms like fixing their weapons or reading or anything other than just standing about.

And as Prototype said, we need to be able to hug companions. They needed hugs in DA2, like when Merethari dies and Merrill is crying and you...just stand there. ME failed in a lot of places, but at least you can comfort your companions- you can hug and console Tali when she finds her dad, and in ME3 you can comfort Garrus over his missing family. You don't hug him, but Shepard holds onto his shoulder and reassures him.

And considering the clustercuss of DAI I think there will be many hugs needed, both for companion AND the PC

[Zoikster]

No -- Read in its entirety. Still insufficient in my mind to explain why you dislike being able to talk to your companion. You mentioned preferring party banter; well why not have both?

Wanting cutscene interrupts like Mass Effect had, huh?

Why not have high quality conversations 100% of the time instead of less than 100%? Any conversation that can be held anywhere is almost certainly going to be of low cinematic quality compared to conversations in a fixed location.

Such reactions need to be confined to certain (few) circumstances.

I love banter, but I also love the intimate cut-scenes as well, and the options you get within them. It increases role-playing opportunities. I don't see why we can't have both. I personally had lots of fun conversing and getting to know my party back at the camp in DA: O

I actually agree with David here. Conversations definitely felt more alive in DA2 and ME2 and ME3 than in prior games where conversations were much more static.

Def disagree with this. 

[David7204]

The conversations would all still be there. Who cares if they take place when the party is walking around or not? Why does it even matter? The player can wait until they're in camp or whatever to ask them generic questions about their background. The character isn't going anywhere.

[Zoikster]

Oh - I thought you were saying you just wanted random banter only. In that case -- I'm fine with that

[David7204]

No, there should obviously be dialogue on missions. But it should focus on the missions, or the environment. Characters commenting on that sort of thing. Focus on what's happening around them.

Asking questions about the character's background, about romance, that sort of thing - that can wait until the characters are at camp.

This way, all conversations can be context-sensitive and thus of higher cinematic quality.

Got ya. I certainly don't mind this proposal.

So you prefer objectively worse cinematology and camera work and directing just so you can have a conversation in the middle of a battle if you want*.

*And yes that happens. I once had Allistair make me choose between him and Zevran when we were surrounded by darkspawn because I accidently clicked him at a bad time... Who then got mad when I said it wasn't the time for this conversation, because in a middle of a fight is obviously the best time to bring THAT up.
