Another reason why I love Shale: She reminds me of my terrier mix in one regard. My terrier hates birds, especially crows and pigeons. So when I hear "Death to All Pigeons!" in Shale's gravely tone, I think of my pup.

I hope that you also imagine that your puppy's inner voice sounds like Shale, if that wasn't also implied.

But I wouldn't necessarily take Gaider's tumblr comment to be an ironclad confirmation that Shale won't be in DAI. Sometimes the writers say things like that. I personally still consider it a 'maybe, maybe not' situation. I like Shale, so I wouldn't mind seeing her...it...Shale...again.

Shale was worth the money for the DLC. In my humble opinion, Sebastian was not.

And yes, I do picture my dog's inner voice to sound just like Shale. I've watched that dog try to climb trees to get to the birds. It's as funny as it sounds, considering she's a medium sized dog.

Not well prepared i say i will crush you with power my knowledge :devil:

1.Leliana have 3 apparences first is in sebastian quest in third act , second in in mark of the assassin and third is in the end.

2.As i said you can see him 3 times depending on his fate what makes this even more ridiculous you want say me that he meet him and ended in kirkwall in every his fate that changes his entire life?

3.As i said another ridiculus just to make cameo and another time we can meet him in mark of the assassin

4.And what is difference it would change one returning character for another?

5.Still returning character doesn't matter she knew elf warden.

6.Still another meaningless cameo

7.Another character from leliana song he was merchant there and is in kirkwall

8.Not rly flemth is just another invincible villain there was a little reason to put hawke with flemeth i will be very angry if they will turn flemeth helping protagonist and manipulating them like complete moorons and we can't do nothing about into tradition...

9.And what he still appears i don't care about bug he still is in kirkwall if alive so we have another character that appears in kirkwall and met hawke and was in previous game,

10.Sophia still appears another returning character...

11.Still appears...

12.Still appears...

13.Still appears...

14.Fade part and occasionally in "real" world

15.Yep she had big role but please spare me time trying convince that you couldn't just put in her place random new rogue or pirat girl and it wouldn't work that same without making returning characters i can say that same about every returning character in da 2...

16.And what is point cullen still appears in kirkwall even if one second or 30 years he is still returning character that could be replaced by random fanatical templar pure fan service. 

17.As i said no matter weather 30 sec or 10 h returning character is still returning character 


About asunder it isn't their first apparence in other da products as i said it makes universe hollow if old characters keep back constantly to new adventures of new peoples or peoples who went forward...

Is that rly wynne part for rhys was necessary hell why even make rhys new protagonist of book wynne son wth why just don't make him normal guy from circle with same problems as now?:whistle: 
Pretty much same thing about alistair and fiona (do i have to tell you that fiona is alistair mother?)
It is pretty much making soap opera that turns around few or dozens same characters and about their drama.

About leliana she could be easily replaced by any other bard , rogue or anythind just make new character with name Eve and make her be divine agent see how simple it is no reason for leliana at all...

Fiona appears in both the calling and asunder and have ridiculous connection to another da characters that like reappear alistair as she is his mother but they don't know that well at least he don't know...

As i said i don't mind for example that leliana is divine agent and appears as well if you add fiona and appears.I don't mind cameos and returning characters when it is done in healthy way but when more and more old characters start appear it makes that ridiculous.

And shale isn't even worth codex in codex appear mostly important peoples like monarchs or peoples with high rank or at least important characters in story like companions.

And most your arguments are but they are shown for 40 seconds or when you did something sure but they are still are shown meeting hawke and the warden.

Cute.  Somehow, I'm not impressed. <_<  

[quote]1.Leliana have 3 apparences first is in sebastian quest in third act , second in in mark of the assassin and third is in the end. [/quote]

Yet, isn't two of those appearances depending upon whether or not you have the DLCs?  She's only in the vanilla game once, at the end.

[quote]2.As i said you can see him 3 times depending on his fate what makes this even more ridiculous you want say me that he meet him and ended in kirkwall in every his fate that changes his entire life?[/quote]

You haven't answered my question.  Doesn't he show up only once per fate?  If so, that makes it once per DA2 session. 

[quote]3.As i said another ridiculus just to make cameo and another time we can meet him in mark of the assassin [/quote]

You can see him once in the vanilla game.  And since he's Alistair's closest adviser, why shouldn't be there.

[quote]4.And what is difference it would change one returning character for another? [/quote]

Hey, I didn't say it made it right.  It would have happened, regardless was all I was saying.

[quote]5.Still returning character doesn't matter she knew elf warden.[/quote]

I can't see why you're complaining about a character you knew for only a couple of minutes in the previous game.  I had utterly forgotten Merrill altogether until DA2.  Then I'm going, "Oh wait, her."

[quote]6.Still another meaningless cameo[/quote]

Is it a cameo when he's a quest giver than many players barely remember from a rather short DLC?

[quote]7.Another character from leliana song he was merchant there and is in kirkwall[/quote]

Does he give any quests?  Or is he just there?  I didn't remember him at all.  I think you're nitpicking at this point.

[quote]8.Not rly flemth is just another invincible villain there was a little reason to put hawke with flemeth i will be very angry if they will turn flemeth helping protagonist and manipulating them like complete moorons and we can't do nothing about into tradition... [/quote]

Huh?  I think I saw you say that Flemeth is an invincible villain.  That's the thing-we've only shown her reforming her body.  The rest was too incoherent.  Please work on your spacing.

[quote]9.And what he still appears i don't care about bug he still is in kirkwall if alive so we have another character that appears in kirkwall and met hawke and was in previous game,[/quote]

If you're that upset, I don't know what to tell you.  

[quote]10.Sophia still appears another returning character...[/quote]

You're acting like she has a major appearance.  She was from a DLC, and only shows up if you choose to let her live.  

[quote]11.Still appears..[/quote]

So a nameless werewolf showing up as a nod to the Warden's decisions is a major cameo.  What was his name?  Oh wait, you can't tell me.  No name.  No background, except that he used to be a werewolf.  Does. Not. Count.

[quote]12.Still appears...

13.Still appears...

14.Fade part and occasionally in "real" world[/quote]

[quote]15.Yep she had big role but please spare me time trying convince that you couldn't just put in her place random new rogue or pirat girl and it wouldn't work that same without making returning characters i can say that same about every returning character in da 2... [/quote]

Spare me your attitude.  I think she's great in the game.

[quote]16.And what is point cullen still appears in kirkwall even if one second or 30 years he is still returning character that could be replaced by random fanatical templar pure fan service.[/quote]

Don't even get me started about the fan service comment. 

[quote]17.As i said no matter weather 30 sec or 10 h returning character is still returning character [/quote]

So you're really that upset?  I can't imagine why you're still on the forums.  Or looking forward to DA: I at all. 


[quote]About asunder it isn't their first apparence in other da products as i said it makes universe hollow if old characters keep back constantly to new adventures of new peoples or peoples who went forward...[/quote]

Links to where Rhys has appeared prior to this.  Oh and links to show me that Fiona and Rhys have ever been in the games.  

[quote]Is that rly wynne part for rhys was necessary hell why even make rhys new protagonist of book wynne son wth why just don't make him normal guy from circle with same problems as now?:whistle: [/quote]

Why not?  What would add to the story by taking his connection to Wynne out of it?  Nothing.  If anything it gives her even more motivation.

If you think the book is so awful, why did you read it?  You seem to have nothing but utter cyncism for Dragon Age, and you don't look like you enjoyed it.

[quote]Pretty much same thing about alistair and fiona (do i have to tell you that fiona is alistair mother?)
It is pretty much making soap opera that turns around few or dozens same characters and about their drama.[/quote]

I knew that about Fiona.  I can't see where you were coming from though.

[quote]About leliana she could be easily replaced by any other bard , rogue or anythind just make new character with name Eve and make her be divine agent see how simple it is no reason for leliana at all...[/quote]

Yet, I can't think of another bard that saved who is now the Divine.  You want to have a Leliana clone?  That would go over worse than returning characters. 

[quote]Fiona appears in both the calling and asunder and have ridiculous connection to another da characters that like reappear alistair as she is his mother but they don't know that well at least he don't know...[/quote]

You realize that you're getting mad about characters in the EU.  I was referring to characters in the games and trying to keep that way. 

[quote]As i said i don't mind for example that leliana is divine agent and appears as well if you add fiona and appears.I don't mind cameos and returning characters when it is done in healthy way but when more and more old characters start appear it makes that ridiculous.[/quote]

From what I've seen, you haven't had a cameo fit to your specs yet.

[quote]And shale isn't even worth codex in codex appear mostly important peoples like monarchs or peoples with high rank or at least important characters in story like companions.[/quote]

...I call crap on this.  She's the only (as far as I know) sentient golem.  Her story is very compelling (c'mon, becoming a golem to help end the First Blight.   And she knew what that entailed. Hell ya!)

 I think she ranks above Zevran, since I felt like Zev's story has been done for a long time.  And weren't you the one just talking about how sick you were of how "special" all those NPCs are?  

Her last name is going to show up as a dwarven surname for Inquistion.  You're free to look at the screenshots.  So please, tell the writers that Shale's story means nothing.  Go on, I'll wait.

You don't have to agree with me, but no need to be a jerk.  I like Shale, you don't.  We can leave it there.

[quote]And most your arguments are but they are shown for 40 seconds or when you did something sure but they are still are shown meeting hawke and the warden.
[/quote]

I will never ever see why you're getting so hurt/upset/frustrated at this.  Why don't you start a thread describing exactly what you told me here?  I'm not saying that to be rude.  I'm sure there are others that feel that way.  

Edit: Define overload for me.  You haven't yet.

*Sigh*

1.Yes and your point is she is still there story-wise so she is returning character dlc or not she is still there...

2.:blink: i pointed that even in first conversation but you missed that again i said that you cam meet him 3 times deepending on his fare (what pretty much mean 1 for 1 pt) still it doesn't change that storywise in all his 3 fates he meets hawke and end in kirkwall...

3.You can meet him twice don't ignore dlc because i don't know why you do they are still there in story... 

4.ok that fine then my bad :P

5.As i said she is another returning character i don't have problem with single returning character (because i don't mind) i have problem with whole.

6.Look above.

7.Nope he is merchant as i said here

8.Yep she is invincible villain (if you want aruge that she isn't villain put here anything that you want) pretty much she manipulates everyone successfully , have plans that you can't screwd , know everything about anyone even if it is simple companion , she have deus ex machinas to pull that save her life and ultimately you can't do nothig more than be manipulated by her oh you can also try kill her but she already know that (omniscient character) and don't care.

9.Upset about what?:whistle:

10.As i said major character or just cameo , 1 h or 10 h it doesn't matter if she is alive she still appears in kirkwall what a another weird coincidence...

11. How that don't count he is another returning character pretty much that same i can tell about namellsone from gothic and that he is still protagonist of second game doesn't that mean he still returned even if he have no name?

12.Haha it doesn't matter she was just wrriten character you can name it Victoria and give same personality that isabela had just remove her backstory that she was isabela in frelden and bingo we have that same character that she was in da 2 without bringing isabela from dao and thus not making more returning characters what makes universe ridiculus if overused.

13.You may or not like it he is nothing more than fanserive as i said he would be easily replaced by any other templar he was there because fans watned that and probably will be in dai for that same reason because i can't see any other reason than fan service.

14.:huh: don't get it... ;)

15.Rhys was protagonist of asunder and only there i don't have problem with him:blink: fiona were in calling and asunder two books.

16.As i said there is a little reason for wynne and as little to make rhys her son as i said wynne was unnecessary for that she is just old character that is brought back to new character... 

Who said that i didn't liked book and how i would judge this book without reading that? Simple there are things that i enjoy in games and other da products some of them i liked others not as well there were some things that i didn't liked and that i liked. For example i didn't liked fade moment in dao does that mean i didn't like game no...
I will say that there is more thing i didn't liked in da 2 than and that was one of it.Now we are talking about thing that i don't like bringing to much old characters...

About fiona as i said it is another matter that makes two used characters that never meet each other bonded simple making that soap opera sure make luke darth vader son im fine but if you are making han darth sidious son and lando jar jar son it starts becoming ridiculus.     

Leliana never saved divine life... it was contrariwise and how do you know that someone never saved her life do you know every point of divine life? Just put character that saved or not divine life but divine trust that character gosh...

Well i pointed that im talking as well about ausnder and universe that suffers from returning old characters. 

What do you mean i had just look on awakening i said it was perfect wynne and alistair or anora showed and oghren as companion that all only problem i had that you could kill oghren and despite doing that he still shows up with stupid excuse.

About shale not rly he isn't important (well she is but i will say about that later) firts golem like golem we have plenty of them hell we have much better and stronger golems like steel golems or inferno golem she isn't only such golem we have one in da 2 (but well hidden). But still it doesn't make her special in-universe that only make her intresting for fans/player/readers i can agree that she is an intresting character but that means nothing for dai if they want give her story sure give her own adventure just please make cameos 1-2 not make her adventure with varric , alistair and nathaniel...

inquisitor have her name too bad da don't have to put together every missing brother sister or mother with each other in da universe...

Why do you think that i don't like shale i admit it she wasn't companion that i liked most but she wasn't companion that i disliked  most either...

DLCs are optional.  The stories I consider optional unless BioWare adds it to their cannon.

So yes, I consider MotA,  Legacy, Leliana's Song, Darkspawn Chronicles optional content, that usually has little to no impact on the main story, to be disregarded for the sake of this disccusion.  Witch Hunt does count for this, since I think the devs have confirmed that your actions towards Morrigan will make a difference later.

[quote]2.:blink: i pointed that even in first conversation but you missed that again i said that you cam meet him 3 times deepending on his fare (what pretty much mean 1 for 1 pt) still it doesn't change that storywise in all his 3 fates he meets hawke and end in kirkwall...[/quote]

Okay, so the writers made sure to add continunity.  I don't see the issue, especially since it's not like he's in the game three times at once.  The only one I thought was pointless was "Drunk" Alistair.  The Grey Warden cutscene happens even without him, and it makes sense that as the King of Ferelden he'd want to talk to Meredith.  C'mon, you know that a decent chunk of Ferelden's citizens went there.

[quote]3.You can meet him twice don't ignore dlc because i don't know why you do they are still there in story... [/quote]

I don't consider the DLC the main story, unless it is confirmed to be cannon.  Besides, Legacy has Leandra's ghost coming back so "Hawke can have some closure."  I can't take that seriously, unless BW tells me that Corypheus mattered.  Or that anything in any of the DLCs really made a difference on the story, except for Witch Hunt.   Awakening I do not count as a DLC, since it is it's own expansion.  

[quote]5.As i said she is another returning character i don't have problem with single returning character (because i don't mind) i have problem with whole.
6.Look above.[/quote]

Whole...what?  That made no sense.  Could you try that again?

[quote]7.Nope he is merchant as i said here [/quote]

I didn't think you were lying.  I just didn't remember him.  I'm betting most players wouldn't right off the top of their head, unless they had just played Leliana's Song.  Also, I think a random merchant in the Undercity isn't quite a cameo.  He's some dude in the Undercity.  He has no lines, no quests, and probably was in Kirkwall for the same reason Hawke was.  You do remember that many Fereldens fled north from the Blight.  That's why Alistair (or Anora) was sending ships to get people back home.  Is it really that hard to believe that he fled the Blight the same as a lot of others did?

[quote]8.Yep she is invincible villain (if you want aruge that she isn't villain put here anything that you want) pretty much she manipulates everyone successfully , have plans that you can't screwd , know everything about anyone even if it is simple companion , she have deus ex machinas to pull that save her life and ultimately you can't do nothig more than be manipulated by her oh you can also try kill her but she already know that (omniscient character) and don't care.[/quote]

Agree to disagree here.  As far as Deus Ex Machinas, what about the fact that Corypheus appeared to jump bodies?  She's not the only villain with stupid levels of plot armor going on.  Don't worry, I like her but I agree with you on her role.)

[quote]9.Upset about what?:whistle:[/quote]

Heh.

[quote]10.As i said major character or just cameo , 1 h or 10 h it doesn't matter if she is alive she still appears in kirkwall what a another weird coincidence...[/quote]

Yeah, weird that a demon would be drawn to Kirkwall.  Weird that they could have followers get them out.   Totally weird that they would use the time the Warden gave them to get out of Ferelden. /sarcasm  

[quote]11. How that don't count he is another returning character pretty much that same i can tell about namellsone from gothic and that he is still protagonist of second game doesn't that mean he still returned even if he have no name?[/quote]

...Run on sentence...

He has no name.  No background, no nothing.  He's merely a link showing the werewolves being freed.  He isn't a named NPC.  He doesn't show up if you side with the werewolves.  That's why it doesn't count.  The second part of your comment makes no sense.  What is Gothic?  Do you mean American Gothic?  Or is it some anime. I never played Gothic, so I don't get your meaning.  

Besides, this isn't Gothic, this is Dragon Age.

[quote]12.Haha it doesn't matter she was just wrriten character you can name it Victoria and give same personality that isabela had just remove her backstory that she was isabela in frelden and bingo we have that same character that she was in da 2 without bringing isabela from dao and thus not making more returning characters what makes universe ridiculus if overused.[/quote]

I like the character and I agreed with her inclusion.  Why don't we agree to disagree about Isabela, okay?

[quote]13.You may or not like it he is nothing more than fanserive as i said he would be easily replaced by any other templar he was there because fans watned that and probably will be in dai for that same reason because i can't see any other reason than fan service.[/quote]

You're all out of order.  I take it you're talking about Cullen?  If you think he's fan service, that's okay.  That's your opinon.  You're not speaking for BioWare, nor all the fans.   He was at Kirkwall, he's been around the Circles from day 1.  Unlike some random Joe Templar, he watched as Meredith got turning into a statue made of pure red lyrium.  He's now seeing his fellows get into the same thing that drove Meredith crazy.  I'd say that's a great reason that has nothing to do with his fans.

[quote]14.:huh: don't get it... ;)[/quote]

Your post got confusing at that point.  You numbers were off.  As far as Justice goes, I already told you that I don't see him as the same guy.  He doesn't even remotely have the same voice even in the Fade in DA2.  That's just me though.

[quote]15.Rhys was protagonist of asunder and only there i don't have problem with him:blink: fiona were in calling and asunder two books.[/quote]

Not what I asked.  Please, link where in the games they have been.  Otherwise, you're complaining about returning characters in the EU.   

[quote]16.As i said there is a little reason for wynne and as little to make rhys her son as i said wynne was unnecessary for that she is just old character that is brought back to new character... [/quote]

We'll disagree here.

You've constantly ripped in the book and not just in this thread.  I have yet to hear you say one good thing about the book.

[quote]About fiona as i said it is another matter that makes two used characters that never meet each other bonded simple making that soap opera sure make luke darth vader son im fine but if you are making han darth sidious son and lando jar jar son it starts becoming ridiculus.[/quote]

Pretty subjective, and not the point.  As I have stated repeatedly, is it in the game?  No?  Then why so upset?    

[quote]Leliana never saved divine life... it was contrariwise and how do you know that someone never saved her life do you know every point of divine life? Just put character that saved or not divine life but divine trust that character gosh...[/quote]

There was an established reason why the current Divine and Leliana can work together.  It's been in the games for years now.  If they just pulled another character out of their butt to replace her, I'd call bullpuckey.  I see no reason for Leliana to not be included.  And don't give me that "well, you can kill her" crap.  Considering where you're probably going to kill her....

[quote]Well i pointed that im talking as well about ausnder and universe that suffers from returning old characters.[/quote]

I don't see it hurting the games, I see them adding continuity.  Wouldn't it be pretty silly if they never did another story of them ever again?  At all?   Even when there were obvious signs that some stories (Wynne, Shale) were not done?

It's very apparent that people wanted to see and read them.  They didn't see the comics and books as hurting the series.  You're one of the very few that I've seen that thinks that those characters is a bad thing.

[quote]What do you mean i had just look on awakening i said it was perfect wynne and alistair or anora showed and oghren as companion that all only problem i had that you could kill oghren and despite doing that he still shows up with stupid excuse.[/quote]

Those cameos...weren't a whole lot different than the ones in DA2.  As a matter of fact, they were pretty much exactly the same, yet those were okay by you? I agree about Oghren, though mainly because I never really liked him.

[quote]About shale not rly he isn't important (well she is but i will say about that later) firts golem like golem we have plenty of them hell we have much better and stronger golems like steel golems or inferno golem she isn't only such golem we have one in da 2 (but well hidden).[/quote]

She or It please.  I don't care about those powerful golems.   They are just toys. They can't make me laugh or think. They can't go looking for the secrets of their past or meet a Paragon (none living atm, unless dwarf noble counts.) 

[quote]But still it doesn't make her special in-universe that only make her intresting for fans/player/readers i can agree that she is an intresting character but that means nothing for dai if they want give her story sure give her own adventure just please make cameos 1-2 not make her adventure with varric , alistair and nathaniel...[/quote]

Did I ask for that?  Did I ever ask for that at all?  NO.  I asked to see her again.  I asked for a cameo or a codex entry.  Hyperbole, thy name is Kormandor 

[quote]inquisitor have her name too bad da don't have to put together every missing brother sister or mother with each other in da universe...[/quote]

Wow, talk about an overraction!  The first female volunteer to become a Golem is a big deal.  Name a dwarf that has even half as much impact that isn't a Paragon.

By the way--all of the surnames in Inquisition have various important plot ties to Thedas' past.  All are mentioned in the lore histories are being important.  

Can someone get ahold of that screenshot please?

[quote]Why do you think that i don't like shale i admit it she wasn't companion that i liked most but she wasn't companion that i disliked  most either...[/quote]

Perhaps that was a misunderstanding on my part.  If so, I apologize.

Shale is the best; I still hope to see her, though we at least know from Asunder that she's still kicking around (in the event she's not in the game).

It doesn't sound like she'll have a large role if she does appear, but such is the way it goes, I guess. We've already lucked out quite a bit (she got added back to Origins in a miraculous turn of events, and David has included her in two novels now, though admittedly it wasn't a "proper" role in The Stolen Throne)—but with David done writing the books, it's likely going to have to be in a game if we're ever to see her again.

1.Dlc happens even without you playing them pretty much you could say same thing about side quests doesn't matter dlc are part of universe as well plot of main game as well books.Sure books and comics are based on bio cannon but such things as for example wynne being rhys mother are still truth in your cannon just events are different because you could kill wynne.

2.So we have 3 different alistairs one is drunk , second is grey warden and third is king and everyone ended in kirkwall meeting hawke sounds too ridiculous if you want you can think about any reason for every cameo but in practice the purpose of this was nothing more than cameo to bring old character even for moment... and as i seen king alistair cameo was nothing more than attempt to make that sense because he wanted meet with hawke just to tell him "nah i changed my mind im here as cameo anyway..." 

3.So what they aren't part of main story as side quests aren't still characters as leliana or isolde are there and hawke meets them... given corypheus is alive at least was he will be important less or more at least if grey wardens will be involved in story.About mother varric said that he made that up because hawke deserved it. 

4.As whole i meant if you put one cameo 2 or 3 it can be credible if you start making that every character that the warden met also met hawke it is ridiculous. Point is line when story stops be credible because of spaming with old characters and point is when it is only credible coincidence not unbelievable so if you meet your old friend in forest it is fine when you start meeting everyone you knew in that forest it is stupid....

5.He is still there and he was working for marjolene he left but he sould be in orlais not in kirkwall sewers... another pointless old character...

6.I hope i can kill her forever i hate her types of character...

7.Does that matter another old character that wen to kirkwall because well every old character went there and somehow meet hawke that a another coincidence a lot of them seems kirkwall is centre of the world because everyone is there and meets hawke...

8. Yet he is returning character isn't he?;) another pointless one...
About gotihic in that game well second they have problem with returning character as well (not as much as da 2) but it is very well justified for every (almost:lol:) case but you have play to understand why...

9.There is nothing to disagree they could done exactly that same character without even bringing her back from dao just name it differently...

10.As i said he was fanservice anyway this isn't opinion simple fans wanted that thats becasue they put them into da 2 and thats why they will put thim into dai he was incompetent and didn't had any special traits that would lead him into inq...

11.He is as well anders or leliana even if they act completly different than in first game...

12.They weren't in game only in books... i don't know whats is about asunder and calling are canonical because calling was before games and show Maric and architect "adventure" and asunder is bridge beetwen da 2 and dai that shows reasons behind mage-templar war.It is still da universe and games don't create it alone....

13.If you want disagree but that truth we could avoid puting there wynne and making rhys her son another brining back old character...^_^

14.12^

15.Not rly... before dragon age 2 there was nothing that says that she is working for divine you mean leliana song that you don't even take as canon? Well leliana wasn't working for her she helped her with list nothing more then dorothea went back to orlais and leliana stayed in lothering chantry for 2 years and did not write or recive any letters... So pointless :P

16.What what do you mean? :lol: you mean those 3 cameos in daa comparing to 30 from da 2 that was in another country and with another protagonist? :pinched:

17.It is called fanservice :devil: and ps she doesn't renember antyhing before willhelm...

18.Well maybe you didn't asked for that i was just saying that if they want continue her story then they should do her own story about her put her into another story... as i pointed no thanks for another 10000 cameos from creatures that somehow happened be close to meet you.

19.It is big deal because? it save thedas from demon it will tell you how create army of golems? nope so... not rly as far some inq names are not even known...

20.spx everyone can be mistaken.

 Komandor, I have enjoyed this debate quite a bit with you tonight.  I assure you I'm not ignoring you, I'm just ready to close down some tabs for the evening.

We'll continue this later, count on it.  I ain't done with you yet!  Still, I have had fun.  It's proof that two posters can almost completely disagree and still remain civil about it.  Thanks so much!

Also, Komandor...leave the Templars behind.  I'm not asking you to support the mages either.

You see, there is another option.  There are those that wield power with sly poisons and honeyed words over magic and blades.  We wait in the shadows while everyone else bickers, until it's time to strike.

We are the rogues.  We run the underground.  Everyone is welcome, as long as you keep a hand on your purse and mind your tongue.  

Come join us.

You know you want to. :ph34r:

The screenshot to the Cadash background Image IPB
Here's the other 3 aswellImage IPBImage IPBImage IPB
The Cadash background is most well known of them so far but there's quite a bit of unanswered questions about them, and DAI is promising to give us a lot of additional content and lore so we can make those legends from the past re-known to the world and create new legends for them, so the Cadash background is important and so is the tie to Shale herself whether she appears in DAI or not.

You really don't seem to like the series all that much despite what you say, and though you're saying you don't mind character's returning you've repeatedly stated the complete opposite and are arguing with Starsyn about it, if you don't want old character returning you should really just accept it because it's going to happen regardless of your opinion and there's going to be a lot of them according to the devs.

The party you assemble over the course of the game will include, according to Lee, “a significant returning cast.” In the demonstration, the Inquisitor was joined by Varric Tethras, DAII’s dwarven narrator, and Cassandra Pentaghast. Cassandra was the character who interrogated Varric in the second game’s framing narrative, and her presence suggests that the two have found some kind of common cause.

http://www.pcgamer.c...rld-fortresses/
With a lot of new and returning characters promised for Dragon Age: Inquisition, were there internal arguments about which ones should come back as followers or play key roles in the game?

(Laughs) Not that I was privy to, no. I think there were a few fan favourites that we wanted to come back, and we had at one point planned a DLC for Dragon Age II called 'Exalted March' that we ended up not doing because we felt it was important to go ahead and switch over to new technology to really start focusing on Dragon Age: Inquisition. Some of the characters that are returning are ones we'd planned to bring back for that DLC, so we really wanted to bring them back for Inquisition.

A lot of that was kind of driven by the writers, so it's possible that they had some arguments, because there are a lot of really passionate fans, and every follower has a group of people that really want to see them again. We try to accommodate that as much as possible.

There'll be a range of companions, and BioWare stressed that this involves a "significant returning cast".

he redheaded, religious bard Leliana. “We’ve been building Leliana up to essentially act as an agent to the divine,” Laidlaw says. “I think it would be fair to expect that she might have some say, especially given her appearance at the end of Dragon Age II. But beyond that, mum’s the word.” Leliana has always represented faith and spirituality, often testing belief and being a way to question players about how they feel about the Maker. “As far as I can tell, if you look among our fans, people have a lot of strong opinions on [the Maker],” Gaider says. “It’s a good place to go.” 

http://www.gameinfor...PostPageIndex=2

This is only a portion of them but you get idea right, there's going to be a lot returning though considering the size of the world and how big the game is it really shouldn't be a problem.

I had to look it up--Grobnar.  


The only NWN character that may have fewer fans than Grobnar is Deekin. 

It bothers me that both are bards, as I wished the NWN official campaigns had some good ones. :(:D

Grobnar - he should have been a tinkerer or techomancer, if 3E had that option; as for Deekin, well, the less said, the better. :lol:




People didn't like Deekin? I love Deekin! He' one of my all time fav NPCs.

spx just don't look under your bed :devil:

And im not pro-templar just anti-mage as i play more independent characters mostly something toward chaotic good but now i will end playing as chaotic evil or just neutral... and point of my actions toward mages is mostly my safety.Pretty much if you played fallout new vegas "no gods,no masters"...

I like series still that doesn't mean that i have to like every product and every thing in that... pretty much i expleined here what i didn't like one thing in series at least later because that started spam with old characters.im not big fan of dawn of the seekers but it had some things i liked and lack of cameos (mostly it was before games) was good cassandra was protagonist and thas all.You misses point i don't mind cameos/returning characters if not overused it was good in daa for me.So hell i don't even have to know what they are even doing around inq it may just be coincidence in 3 cases...
I don't have accept anything always can not buy dai but i want to know weather dai (series) went or is going in direction that i will like it so i will buy future dragon age products or at least games or if it will disappoint me and i will search for another series.

Is single thing like returning characters can pushaway me from series well depending on how much it will spoil my joy of playing but i doubt that single thing will do that but if there will be much things that will do that series won't be for me. ;)

As far we know about leliana , morrigan , cassandra , varric and probably cullen will return i hope that it stay that way or have minimum more at worst... time will show in what direction dai will go.

As someone who plays with the Chaotic Good mindset, I can tell you you are not Chaotic Good. If I had to peg you, I'd say you're Chaotic Neutral.

I didn't miss your point, and this isn't the only thread where you've repeatedly stated you don't want old character's returning or bash or criticize the series in general.

The direction DAI is going in is having a lot of characters returning, tieing up a lot of loose ends involving many plot points and many characters, they've already made it clear that a lot are coming back and those are only a few excerpts from some of the articles about this and the special podcast, might want to include the game informer videos aswell since Laidlaw stated that some characters will be vital but if not then cameos they will get. It's not just going to be those, so you're not going to get you're wish and they even said as much, especially considering the exalted march expansion pack has been incorporated into DAI after being written again.

Then don't buy it, or accept it whatever you want shrug, but if it turns out to be a great game and you don't buy it because of just that well sorry but that's kinda a dumb reason to not buy it.

Most of the time i play as chaotic good mindset but not now i tend play more as chaotic evil characters (doesn't mean stupid evil) as still love my freedom and lets say i don't have limits what i can do to get what i want and i don't rly care about life of others as long they aren't useful for me...:devil: before i played more altruistic and kind characters:whistle:

Well, I didn't know you back then so I can't say. And yeah, what you describe now definitely fits Chaotic Evil or maybe Neutral Evil.

Well you missed it because as i said that i don't want more old character and well i never denied that because i don't want what is my point.And what i said is mostly "no more old characters" or at least should have such meaning.As i said never said that i don't want old characters but i said that i don't want more old characters as we have enough old characters already.

About a lot old characters well lets say that bio said many things about da 2 that weren't necessarily true pretty as many devs about their games and as far only confimed old characters are cassandra , varric and morrigan.As well some arts from da weren't simple in game or even smiliar to what we saw in game...;)    

I want buy it (at least now) simple im telling what i won't like and game can have one of them or few hell even games i love weren't flawless i just enjoyed them that they didn't bother me so that may or not be in case dai i can only judge when finish it simple my point is that deepending on how i like dai will affect weather i will continue journey with series or simple state that series isn't for me and i will go search for another titles that will suit more my requirements :)

I hope so! Shale is awesome. One of the best and funniest characters from DAO, in my opinion.
At least a cameo when you play as a dwarven inquisitor.

Well, there are people who wanted to see more Jar Jar Binks in Star Wars, too. 

Oh, I guess he was good comic relief, but the Nixonian third person got tiring after a while.
