As much as I think it would be cool to see Krem show back up so that we could learn a bit more about his character, the fact that he's probably not available in many player's playthroughs makes that difficult.  He could show up at some point in a minor role, but to have him be a companion is probably out of the question.  Unless they retcon the outcome of that quest or have two characters that could fill that 'role' (a la Kaidan and Ashley), I just think it's too complicated.

My guess is that if he survives, he may show up again as the head of the Bull's Chargers, perhaps in an encounter with the Next DA Player Character.

I personally hope none of the companions we had this game will become companions again in the next title.

 

I don't mind a few cameo's, but leave the companion spots to new characters.

It could work if they have an interchangeable companion, a Kaidan/Ashley type as you say. But the issue is, will it make sense story wise?

 

Also here's the link to Laidlaw talking about heading north - http://www.gamespot....u/1100-6423437/

 

So looks like Tevinter, Rivain, and the Qunari are in the cards. Definitely looking forward to seeing a stronger Qunari presence.

Dorian may not become a companion, but he will definitely be involved in the next game in some form. Everyone else, it's safe to say we've seen the last of them aside from whatever DLC they'll use to wrap up Inquisition.

Yeah, this I could see.

Yeah, agreed with Krem.  I'm just thinking that it's not really worth it to try to cram him in as a companion.

 

I also agree about Dorian.  If we go to Tevinter, I suspect that he'll show back up again.  But I just can't see him being a companion. 

 

For one, I have a strong feeling that Maevaris will be our Tevinter magister companion.  Gaider really likes her character and wanted to add her into DA: I, but she was developed too late in the process.  I think she plays a perfect bridge, to be honest:  she's related to Varric (the central narrator of the past two games); she's another 'good magister' (to act as the counterbalance to all of the magister supremacy stuff we'll likely see); and she's already connected to Dorian in a positive given his War Table missions.  I have a feeling that she's going to fill the human Tevinter magister spot in any game that takes us to the Imperium. 

 

Second, if Dorian comes back, he can't be an LI, given that he was already one in DA: I and that romance can end on a positive note.  So that would mean that there would still need to be two major bisexual or gay males in addition to Dorian in order to ensure that there are two m/m romance options.  I just think that they aren't likely to do this, as much as I would like them to.  I think that they will see this as too much.  We've already gotten Gaider's "putting the cart ahead of the horse" comments to the idea of more gay romances.

Agreed, I think Dorian will have a somewhat major role in the next game, but as an NPC. They'll no doubt do to him what they did to Leliana if he's included. I don't see why having a former gay romance in the game as an npc would limit the players romance options. We had Morri and Leli from DAO who were straight/lesbian options and that didn't diminish the amount of romances we got in DAI.

This game was unique because we had an inner circle that included four NPCs that were major characters (all four of whom were love interests at some point in the series).  In the past games, our 'inner circles' were really just our companions.  If the next game goes back to that approach, then I could see Dorian's presence as a companion to be a problem with respect to m/m romances.  Given that there are usually around 8 or 9 companions, I just can't see them having three men (out of 4 or 6) being LGBT.  If he just shows up as an NPC (a la Alistair or Hawke), then I don't see an issue with it.  Potentially if there is an 'advisor'-like NPC role, then I don't see an issue with it.  I just can't see them having three LGBT men as companions.  That's never happened before and I wonder if that would be seen as 'taking it too far'.  I also wonder if Dorian were a major NPC, would that mean that we wouldn't get another gay guy?  Would the m/m options both be bisexual? 

 

I guess I'm more pondering this than making a definitive statement, if that makes sense.

Essentially my thoughts, though I wouldn't mind if one or two established characters who weren't companions got upgraded, if a convincing enough reason can be contrived.

Kind of hoping Ser Barris will appear in a fairly major role. Though that's pretty unlikely. I can dream.

He died in my playthrough because apparently I didn't return to the hall quickly enough. Rip.

I want Sten back. I mean, how badass would the effing Arishok be as a Companion?

Preferably as a Romance Option. Because, as I learned from Bull, Romance (as opposed to sexual Relations) is not forbidden under the Qun.

After seeing how Bioware handled him as an NPC, I have to say Hawke. I know some people had issues with the whole Blood Magic thing, but after choosing the personality type I really felt like I was interacting with my Hawke and wouldn't mind seeing more of it in the future and have Bioware take the reigns for his/her story. Having a customizable companion is also a neat concept that I hope Bioware reintroduces. 

 

Judging from the Tevinter rumours of the next game, that would be an ideal way to reintroduce Sten, Fenris & Dorian in the story. Considering the roguish nature of Fenris it wouldn't be a stretch for him to steal a companion role either.

Fenris!  *faints*  I forgot about him!  (I know, right, how could I?)

 

Yes to more hot elf guys!  *ahem*

Scout Harding and Ser Barris for companion and LI please!

 

Also if the game is set in Tevinter, I think Dorian should play a major NPC role, like Morrigan, Leliana and Cullen in DAI.

I don't see Ser Barris as becoming a companion; the man is made Knight Commander of the Templar Order; that's a job that kind of prevents running around and random adventuring.

There are also two possible ways for him to die.

1) Dorian

2) Iron Bull

3) Tallis

4-9) New people, two of which are hopefully dwarves, and one a bad guy turned companion like Loghain/Darth Nihilus/Death's Hand.

 

I think it would be sweet if my next protaganist could be the sole exception to a dwarven mage!

Varric didn't work very well because he's not a very good character begin with. He's always been a disaster when it comes to writing because they focus too much on making him likeable and a "bro" rather than making him interesting and complex.

 

Disagree, not every character has to be layer upon layer or complexity, angst or personal problems. I found it refreshing that behind Varric was not a real 'child of the stone'. Don't get me wrong I want to understand what 'the stone' is but I don't need exposition from a character it doesn't fit. I actually found exploring Varrics relationship with Bianca far more interesting in this game than say Blackwalls big reveal.

 

I found Varric interesting, I cared far more about him that Vivienne/Blackwall who despite her complexity and depth I cared nothing for either. Point is I've never seen Varric a "disaster" when it comes to writing. 

 

That said I wouldn't want any of the current companions in a future game as companions but I would to see each of them in some capacity.

Picture it, he could be handy if the plot involves ancient elf things. And he could find a new name and a new purpose since his old one broke, it would make a nice story... 

 

Other characters who were possibly not alive came back it could happen just look at Leliana and Anders

Harding for sure.
