Solas: A few mages put up a fight trying to defend themselves from renegade templars, and I'm treated with fear and suspicion. Your people try to openly conquer a city, and you're everyone's favorite drinking buddy.
Iron Bull: My people? They're no more my people than blood mages are yours.
Solas: Fair enough. Still, it's not a distinction I expect them to make, given the sweeping generalizations they throw at anyone who can cast a spell. What's your secret?
Iron Bull: I'm charming.
Then why is he the leader of a mercenary group? I dont see how its so unbelievable to think that this one qunari can be liked among familiar faces. You say generally yet stretch that generalization to this one person.
He could be a leader of Tal-Vashoth group, as they are often a mercenaries. I don't defy that he could be an exception as well, but he could very well not be.

We've already seen Tal-Vashoth in multiracial mercenary bands, plenty of times, do you have something against him being liked by non-qunari?
I think the real question is: can Qunari have babies with other races or do I need to be a female Qunari? Because there must be baby Qunari or half Qunari, the Nef demands it.

None at all, just pointed out that it's not a common perception.
Oghren is actually one of my favorite companions, but I would like to see the archetype played straight instead of be so brutally deconstructed.
Main point is I don't see Iron Bull ever being so drunk that he looses a wrestling match against a roasted nug.
He's well written enough for me to find him vile and still feel the occasional pang of sympathy toward him, so I can appreciate that other people would think him well written enough to like him. 
But I agree that Bull doesn't seem like the alcoholic type. Just a good time sort of guy.
Truth be told I didn't get the impression that his mercenary band was qunari, though thinking about it I don't suppose there's any reason it wouldn't be. That'll be something else I'm interested to find out.

I love Oghren because of his flaws, not despite them, myself.
I expect Iron Bull will also be a very flawed individual. I just imagine those flaws will be more along the lines of a skewed morality as opposed to confusion over whether or not the dog has stolen his pants.
Oghren is my all-time least favorite companion. That said, I don't see any similarities between him and what we know of Iron Bull whatsoever!
Solas looks young to me. Not sure why people think he's older. That's just my opinion though on the screen shots. He could be over 900 from all we know. Ha!
I suppose it depends on how one defines old. He looked pretty old in the concept art and people keep saying he looks like Nick Cage (I don't really see it though) so I just imagine him being the grumpy uncle of the party.
I liked Oghren. He had reasons for his drinking, and his battle-happy habits were deconstructed in a rather interesting way. Much more depth than I expected, like Zevran.
Though I agree with Artemis, Iron Bull sounds like a party guy, not an alcoholic.

Ha ha maybe it's just me then. We know next to nothing about the characters and I'm already misinterpreting them 
Anyway, I do hope that they aren't similar to each other. Oghren is actually really depressing to talk to...

I have a feeling they wont go with the drunk mercenary leader stereotype. I genuinely feel he will be charismatic, cunning and ruthless at the same time. Someone with a bit of a mean streak to him but a good companion in the end. The closest example I can think of will be a cross between Garrus and Wrex of ME series.

Well actually, speaking of ME, he sounds the most like Aria T'Loak.
I'm curious if he's the qunari that helped you fight in the "Blackpowder Promise" quest in DA 2 (if you were an aggressive Hawke). You were almost given an option to recruit him...but then it was just to tease the players

I doubt it. I don't think they'd bring back such a minor character and make him a companion. Not sure there's anything connecting IB to him, either.
But they did bring Merrill and Isabela back...

You mean Maraas? It's one of the theories.

Good old Maraas I wish. I loved him. I don't think he's the same person. Hasn't Iron Bull been with his mercenaries for 10 years?
Well actually, speaking of ME, he sounds the most like Aria T'Loak.
He could very well be like her. Aria was one of my fav characters in ME. It would be cool if they base IB characters a bit like her's
I actually think he seems a bit similar to Wrex.Well actually, speaking of ME, he sounds the most like Aria T'Loak.
I don't remember the details, but I remember reading he was a mercenary leader for years.Good old Maraas
