So, we know some companions are returning and making cameos. Let's speculate about the ones we don't know about!

 

Alistair - VO confirmed. He might appear as king, drunk or warden, as far as we know. King is a great possibility, but the others might happen too.

 

Leliana - Confirmed and important.

 

Morrigan - Confirmed and important. Hope she has a limp or something if you've knifed her. ;D

 

Sten - Could appear if the Qunari have any importance. Last seem in Tevinter, I think?

 

Wynne: :'(

 

Shale: Seems she will not show up. Might be in Tevinter.

 

Zevran: Seems he will not show up.

 

Loghain: I think he might only be alive in a very small sample of games, but this didn't get in the way of an Awakening cameo. He would be in Orlains, and things happen in both Orlais and Ferelden. 

 

Oghren: Might appear if the wardens are important, specially in Ferelden, as he is still there.

 

Nathaniel: Was investigating "warden business" in DA2. So if wardens are important, there is a chance. Is set in Ferelden, but got to Kirkwall for that investigation.

 

Velanna: seems like she leaves the keep no matter what happens? So who knows? Might not be in Ferelden anymore.

 

Sigrun: Again, if wardens are important.. but I think she stays in Ferelden.

 

Anders/Justice: IF alive, I think he would have a good reason to show. **** it, Cole is a spirit who took the personality of a person, so even if dead, Justice might appear as him still. However, last seem in Kirkwall, but he probably took the hell outta there. 

 

Aveline: There is a chance that, after the events of DA2 she might go back to Ferelden. Otherwise, Kirkwall is her home. But I think most DA2 companions probably left Kirkwall, after all that **** went down.

 

Carver/Aveline: Because their image is tied to Hawke, a cameo might be very trick. Too bad, because they're really awesome and can end up in both sides of the war, as well as Grey Wardens who seems to be important still. And Kirkwall is their home, but they're from Ferelden.

 

Varric: Confirmed and important.

 

Isabella: Last seem in Tevinter. She gets around a lot. So I think there is a possibility, but I would have said the same of Zevran.

 

Fenris: VO confirmed, so good possibility.

 

Sebastian: Probably in Starkhaven, so I think there's a small possibility.

 

Merrill: Hmm. Trickiest one, I think. Don't know what the hell she could do when Hawke disappears.

 

[MissDragon]

Isabella will probably be back since she was part of the previous two games.

Well If Isabela does show up I either want her to be with my hawke or searching for hawke.

Same, almost all of my playthroughs have romanced her, so if she's not looking for/with Hawke I'll be really sad

[Feybrad]

If Isabela shows up, I want my Bro the Arishok to show up, too.

Yeah, I think if the Warden and Hawke disappeared, their love interest will be around doing something else.

 

But I think Isabela is one of the most likely to appear. and Anders, if left alive. Also, strangely enough, Loghain as well, because he is with the Wardens in Orlais and it seems they will be important. I just have my doubts because I think he is alive in a very small number of games.

[LiquidLyrium]

I think it'd be cute if they had a Hawke/LI cameo somewhere (with a hooded Hawke or some other suitable, appearance-altering disguise. Fake beard? XD) just in the background and talking about incredibly domestic things...like grocery shopping. That's mostly what I want to happen. 

[AresKeith]

I can see Aveline, Loghain, Oghren, Sigrun, Nathaniel returning. Personally wanna see Ariane and Finn return also

 

Velanna, Bethany/Carver I'm meh about

[azarhal]

Loghain VA is going to be the in game, unknown if that is to retake that role though.

[Pahldus]

No chance Loghain or Zevran could show up in any of my games as they are both dead. Anders is dead in all but one game. Carver is dead in all games, even my mage playthrough I think as I sided with the mages and I am not sure I convinced him to side with me.

 

That said, I want Isabella with my Hawke if she shows up. As for the other DA2 companions, I think Fenris VO is voicing a different companion this time so I say he won't show up, Merrill is hopefully dead, so I hated her. Aveline is likely still trying to clean up the mess in Kirkwall, remember she has a husband and was pretty tied to the community.

 

As for the DAO companions, I hope we get to kill Allistair once and for all. I hated him, and really hated him being essential, plot armor. Leliana doesn't bother me, as I never killed her directly, I left her behind in Lothering a time or two. I don't really care for Ogren, but I would like to see Sten. I killed Wynne in a couple of playthroughs, but I think she is alive in most of my canon playthroughs. No real interest in that preachy witch showing up again. Shale would be interesting, but as a DLC wouldn't expect her to be, plus as another of those you could have killed it seems unlikely.

 

On the whole, it there was a potential to have killed them in the past aside from Leliana, I don't think they will make an appearance. That means most of them are out, Sten, Wynne, Shale, Zevran, Loghain, Merrill, Anders, Isabella, Fenris are all out.

 

I haven't mentioned Awakenings because I didn't play it.

That doesn't mean they can't make a return

They can't in my game. And that is an issue I think Bioware is trying to avoid, giving something to some and not all. It is like saying you didn't play our game the way we wanted you to, so you are screwed of this awesome new content in our new game.

So? I decided I didn't wanted the world to know about the sacred ashes. This blocked an side quest in DA2 from happening and I didn't shed any tears over it. It's not about "playing the game they wanted you to", you simply decided these characters needed to die and now you lost any possible future content with them. Cause and effect.

Players can kill Alistair in Origins, and he can still appear in other people's game. It's the cause and effect of player choices

 

Just because a character can't return in your game because they died doesn't mean they can't return in others (if it makes sense for that character to return at the time)

IMO the opportunity to see different outcomes and experience variety within questlines is a big part of what makes this franchise interesting.  This is like playing Fallout: New Vegas and then complaining about not being able to do certain NCR missions after they label you a terrorist for helping Caesar's Legion.  The "lost content" is actually just a divergent timeline, which you are free to experience later should you wish to.  These variations give the game replay value... there are countless bland, linear games where everything's the same every time.  That gets old pretty quickly, and I'd rather that not become the case with Dragon Age.

[Maria Caliban]

You can't kill Isabela.

[Pahldus]

You can't kill Isabela.

 

Handing her over to the Arishok is essentially a death sentence, and you can do that.

 

People are implying that I would be upset over lost content due to the companion being dead in my playthrough, that is not the case. I heard in an interview, which I cannot find at the moment that they wanted to avoid those conflicts in the edition, which leads me to believe anyone who was killable wouldn't be brought back. I might be wrong, if so, so be it. Won't bother me in the least, as I personally would like to see some of them return, especially my favorite, Isabela.

Really where exactly, because I might need to go back and change my canon playthroughs. The best I could ever do was get him to leave at the end, oh I think I know now, are you talking about having him kill the archdemon without Morrigan's ritual. I think they are going to canon that out somehow.

Actually they came up with a reasonable loophole for Isabela.  Even if you turn her over she's guaranteed to escape the Qunari.  Seems fair to me.

If you make Anora queen and insist that Loghain be allowed to live during the Landsmeet, Anora will order Alistair's execution (at this point the Warden can let it happen or use their boon to demand leniency, in which case he is merely exiled).  So you get Loghain as a companion to replace Alistair, who is put to death.

There is no canon, there's Bioware's canon or the default world state. But overall there is no canon to override the players save world state

[Lee80]

Not sure if anyone mentioned it but doesn't Sigrun either die in awakening or leave for her calling after the story ends?  Generally all the endings I ever got made it sound like she died no matter what.  Though I could be wrong.

She escape...

I strongly disagree.

Race gated romances for example.

Other than making sure gay and straight men and women people have the same about of romance options (bisexual people have plenty though XD), I don't think they care about much else

How fair would it be for the OGB to be absent from my game after I have been waiting years to find out what it means?
Or for me not to see Alistar like I did in awakening and da2 just because he died for some people?

Me marrying a hardened Alistar and Anora after killing Lohgain, me saving the werewolves by killing the Dalish elves, and Hawke siding with mages despite killing Anders and etc should matter, even though not everyone did these things.

[SofaJockey]

Wow, I never went down that path. 

There were some interesting outcomes that I guess most players never saw.
