Whoa at the gif....looks like my brother. Had to watch it a couple of times and really stare at it to make sure it wasn't him....(still not sure if it is or not)

Why not just give us 108 characters like in Suikoden

That should fix everyone's need and who they want as a companion, hehe.

Jensen Ackles from Supernatural.

I'm really liking that guy with the mustache. I hope it's him. He looks like a good time.

I really hope the game doesn't have a 6:3 gender ratio. In order for him to be in we'd have to be wrong about a different companion.

[Nocte ad Mortem]

Honestly, I'll be surprised at this point if it's not a 6/3 gender split. All the characters most suspected of being a companion left are male. It's possible that there's a surprise fourth female, but at this point it seems less likely.

Personally i still havent given up on either Scribe Girl or Leliana

Scribe Girl doesn't make sense to me as a companion. I don't understand why they'd have made her concept art with a scroll and quill if she were a combative character. They said not everyone in the war room art was a companion and Scribe Girl seems to me to be the most likely one in the shot to not be an NPC. I would be really shocked if she ended up being a companion, since we've never seen her with any sort of weapons or in any combative situation, with or without the Inquisitor.

 

Leliana is more likely, but I don't know. I think she makes perfect sense as the spymaster advisor NPC, so I'm still leaning towards that. We don't really have an alternative and, while it's not even official those NPCs will exist, the game play and war room art hint at something like it existing.

I really don't think it will be a 6/3 gender split. I think it's far more likely that we are all just completely wrong about who exactly the final two companions will be.

I think that their quote was more to the point that "several" of the people in that artwork weren't companions.  Right now, Scribe Girl, Leliana, Cullen, and DHMG are the ones who might not be companions.

No, I agree, they meant more than one. I just meant that, if I were going to start guessing, Scribe Girl is the one I'd start with for the NPC group. It seems like she has the least evidence in her corner pointing towards a companion position right now.

Totally agreed.  I tend to think that only 1 or 2 of them could be companions and both of them are the guys.  I'm thinking both Scribe Girl and Leliana (and probably at least one of the guys) are NPCs.

[ElitePinecone]

That would mean, though, that:

 

1. We have to ignore several characters (like DHMG) who have strong evidence for being a companion. If they aren't, then what are their roles?

2. The eighth and ninth characters haven't been shown in anything, ever, not even mentioned in leaked sources like the survey. What are the chances of that? Why only those two particular characters, and not Sera/the Warden/Iron Bull/Solas/Varric/Vivienne/Cassandra?

 

When there's lots of evidence for some characters, and (by definition) zero evidence for people we've never seen before, at this point I can't help but rely on what we actually have at hand. 

[Chari]

Iron Bull, a Grey Warden, Sera, Silas, Vivienne, Varric, Cassandra, Cullen...
Only one left, and I bet it will either be the Moustache guy or Cole. I'd prefer the moustache guy... If only Cullen was replaced by anyone fresh and new, but, eh, that would be too good to be true...

[ElitePinecone]

Still a little bit premature to count Cullen in the confirmed column - not least because his voice actor didn't seem to understand what a companion was, when someone asked him.

[daveliam]

Yeah, technically there are 6 companion slots left since only Varric, Cassandra, and Vivienne were officially confirmed.  But using logic and deductive reasoning, it's looking like we know 7 or 8 now.

 

Solas is pretty much a lock.  We just need an official, "he's in" at this point, but I couldn't possibly imagine that he's not.

 

Sera and the Grey Warden have the most compelling evidence out of the rest in my opinion because there is gameplay footage of them in the party.  So unless they are temporary companions, they are in.  Plus all of the other evidence for them (concept art, survey leak, etc.).  I'd also be very surprised if they weren't in.

 

Iron Bull is trickier because while he's been confirmed by magazines, some of those magazines have made errors.  So if they aren't completely accurate, how can we assume they are with him?  But on the other hand, what are the odds that multiple magazines made the same error, unless they are reporting off of the error that the original magazine made?  Then there's his presence in promotional and conceptual images.  He's certainly present, which, to me, indicates that he's playing a major role.  However, we've never seen him with the Inquisitor, so maybe he's not a companion?  But on the other hand, he was clearly conceptualized as a companion because he was in the companion descriptions from the leaked survey.  I could go back and forth with him, but I think that the evidence is leaning towards him being a companion (and a warrior since we've only seen him with a single sword).

 

Cullen is the trickiest because of these Greg Eillis tweets.  The fact that we know that he's a major character based on his time spent in the recording studio pretty much solidifies that:  1.)  he's a major character; and 2.) the guy in the concept art who looks like Cullen is Cullen.  Do we know if he's a companion?  No, but if the numbers are accurate and his time in the studio would correspond to about 1200-1500 lines, then he's probably a companion, given that most companions end up with between 600 and 1200 lines of dialogue (the numbers are in one of these threads, maybe a Cullen one).  Now, he could just be a major NPC, but we don't really have any good NPC characters to compare him to because none have had anywhere near that many lines before.  However, the "companionship" tweet is pretty much useless because Greg Ellis didn't know what it meant when he answered and we haven't ever seen Cullen with a weapon in any of the concept art, so maybe he really is an advisor who has a ton of dialogue.  If I had to guess, I'd say he's in because the evidence is leaning that way, but he's far from confirmed at this point.  Regarding the romance issue, I think it's much more likely to think that he's an LI given what Greg Ellis stated in his tweets.  Is it possible that he's not?  Sure.  But is it likely? Probably not.  I would say, regardless of his role, he's probably an LI.

 

For the last spot, I'm still leaning towards DHMG.  If he is in, then I bet he's Dorian (or the character that once was Dorian).  He's been seen in concept art with weaponry and out in the world in the Inquisitor's party.  Plus, the Dorian character sounded like there was a ton of potential in that story.  This is all speculation, but I wouldn't be surprised if he was the 9th companion.  The only thing that makes me question it is that concept art piece of him (or a character with similar facial hair) looking over the dwarf inquisitor's shoulder.  In that piece, he (if it is him) looks like an NPC.  I guess, we'll find out sooner or later. 

 

So my guess at this point (using all of this evidence):

 

Warriors:  Cass, Grey Warden, Iron Bull, Cullen (in order of likelihood to be in)

Mages:  Vivienne, Solas, DHMG/Dorian

Rogues:  Varric, Sera

Pretty much all we need is a solid hint or even Bioware's word on the last companion and maybe on Cullen's situation and the whole group is ready for action

[Jaison1986]

If Cullen is true, then more of an reason for Iron Bull to be an rogue. Because since Cullen is an warrior, and the last companion is indeed an mage, we have no slot for an dual wielding rogue, UNLESS Iron bull fills that gap.

[Chari]

Iron Bull will likely be warrior, because... a rogue? ... I have hard time imagining it. He would get stuck in the ground with his horns if he ever tried to do a back-flip. Or kill someone accidentaly

[Nocte ad Mortem]

I still don't understand where the speculation that Iron Bull is a rogue comes from. He's never even shown in concept art with two weapons equipped. It's always that single, enormous sword. All the evidence says warrior, to me.

We aren't sure that we'll get a third mage companion, as we aren't sure Cullen is one.
And if we'll get Cullen and IB is a warrior, we might get a dual-wield rogue instead of a third mage.

Mostly because the Arishok was coded as a rogue, I think, and from people who want the Iron Bull and Cullen and for there to be an even party distribution. The only way to make it work is for the Iron Bull to be a rogue, or for the Grey Warden to be a temporary companion.

People just assume it will be a 3/3/3 class split, and since we also supposedly have 3 confirmed warriors (which we dont), then Iron Bull must be a rogue

Well, Arishok also has TWO swords, but Iron Bull is only ever seen using ONE. Even if Arishok's "rogue" status isn't a game play vs story issue, it's still not all that accurate to compare them. We don't have any evidence of Iron Bull actually using two weapons.

 

But I think I get it, people are just employing wishful thinking to stretch a little evidence a long way.
