I doubt that will happen. Why do you think it might happen?

 

I don't think it will, actually. Was originally going to phrase that post "I'm glad none of the companions are going to be Merrill-esque, but with two companions still unknown, I figured it would be safer to go with hopes than certainty.

 

Hell, for as little as we know about his personality, Solas could well be older, male Merrill.

I hope I can romance him. I've always wanted to romance a Qunari, not gonna lie they're pretty hot.

Sten: You will need armor, I think. And a helmet. And something to bite down on. How strong are human teeth?

 

anyway. i am not very interested in this character, however i think we will witness a DA game with Qunari Invasion, and this is why in my opinion we have this character in current game. Maybe he will give some additional insight.

 

However the fact that he is renegade is rather sad.

You realize Sten was trolling, right?

 

Me, I'm dreading the day when a "qunari invasion" game happens. I hope it never does.

why? it will be fun. PC will embace the Qun and conquer all Thedas, maybe my Warden will retun from Par Vollen in the head of the Invasion Force.

I'm pretty sure it'll happen sooner or later. And the problem in southern Thedas might be the perfect situation for the Qun.

I'm very rarely in favor of maintaining the status quo, I like shaking things up, I like change. But the situation between the Qun and the rest of Thedas is a status quo I don't actually want to see shift all that much. 

 

I think that particular cultural divide is one of the stronger and more interesting parts of the setting, and I think there's more that can be done with that as a backdrop than by resolving it completely(and I find that a game that revolves around such an invasion and doesn't resolve it would be a massive waste of time.)

I understand your view.
I don't necessarily want to change the situation, but I think the Qunari invasion will be the plot of a DA game. If I recall some months ago, when Laidlaw was asked about the Qunari's presence in DAI, he said that they have plans for them, but not for this game.

That'll probably be the DA game I don't play. I honestly can't imagine how they'll make that game appeal to me.

Honestly I'd be all for it as long as they don't advertise it as "The always evil without exception Qunari have invaded Thedas!" If the Qunari can be deterred, (possibly making way for another, true threat to take the center stage) then I can buy that.

well then, we will just have to make a stereo-type for all female dalish elves then, we will start with the inquisitor and any other character that is female and dalish from hence forth

 

As long as we don't base it on Velanna.  She was rough to deal with most of the time.  I liked Arianne, though.

There has been a lot of speculation in this thread that Iron Bull will be very similar to Oghren, fair amount of speculation that Sera will be similar to Zevran and Isabela.

 

Bioware has a fairly well earned reputation for repeating certain patterns and archetypes. None/few of their companions have been out and out clones of each other, but many are drawn along the same lines.

I hope he's not too much like Oghren. Idk why, but I really, really don't want him to be an alcoholic like I felt Oghren was.

You didn't feel Oghren was an alcoholic. Oghren was an alcoholic.

 

As I've said in this thread before, I think one of the biggest differences between Oghren(who is one of my all time favorites) and Iron Bull is going to be functionality. Iron Bull will be the hard-partying type, I don't doubt, but not to the extent that it will render him useless outside of a fight, the way Oghren is. 

 

Iron Bull, I think, is going to be the guy who's got his sh*t together. Who knows, maybe he'll end up being out and out charming.

That's exactly what I'm hoping for.
Oghrens drinking, to me at least, was just disappointing and sad. A waste of quite a lot of potential.

I think Oghren was a brilliant character in that he was this very effective, brutal deconstruction of the boisterous bruiser archetype. He was meant to be sad and pathetic. That he could pull that off while still being the funniest character in the game and a badass when he needed to be cemented him as one of my top three favorite bioware characters of all time.

Don't get me wrong, I loved his character. He was a great example of a flawed, but ultimately good, individual. I just can't help but wonder how he would have turned out under different circumstances.

I on the other hand didn't love Oghren. I liked him well enough as a character, but his over drinking was kind of gross.

So i'm really hoping they steer away from using that with Iron Bull.

 

- hehe, I just noticed my little pun. *steer*, lol.

Yea, I get that. I can definitely see why not everyone loved Oghren.

 

And I'm sure a lot of people won't love Iron Bull.

 

But I have high hopes for him.
