Does anyone else find themselves wishing Sky Watcher were a companion? I only met the big guy briefly but I instantly found myself thinking he would make an ideal candidate to be fleshed out more. We can already recruit him, but I just don't see exactly what he would bring as a connections agent.

 

The Avvar barbarians had been a fairly untapped culture until DA:I and it would be nice to learn even more about them through him, as well as seeing what he would learn or have to say about the wider world. Imagine dragging the big lug to the Winter Palace!

[Merlik]

Yeah, I thought it would be cool. I like him more than Iron Bull.  

[Merlik]

I actually don't like Iron Bull's character/personality. Since it is a fictional character you tend to let these character traits slide, but if he were a real person, I wouldn't like the way he is at all.

[Vallasch]

Well this isn't really about him, but yeah, I found Iron Bull a little cheesy and didn't use him at all. I don't really see the point of having a companion from a different culture if he's not going to be anything like said culture. Sky Watcher would have made a decent alternative because, as I said earlier, he is from way of life we haven't seen before.

[New Kid]

I echo your sentiments about Bull. I wouldn't have minded Sky Watcher as an alternative, but I don't know whether he would've had enough depth to fill the role. Plus I don't think the Avvar culture has been fleshed out enough to have a microscope put over it.

[Kantr]

I wish they showed up at Skyhold.

[Sifr]

Sky Watcher was awesome, he's exactly what I imagined the Avvar Warden would have been like if that Origin hadn't been scrapped.

[SmilesJA]

I like his big hammer.

[Lebanese Dude]

We're definitely overdue for some Barbarian love in the DA games.

I'd love to play/interact with one.

[PorcelynDoll]

I would gleefully club Iron Bull to death if I could have Sky Watcher as a companion.

[EmissaryofLies]

And offer another differing opinion that is not colored by the Maker? I think not!

I think it would've been interesting to have Sky Watcher around more; we know relatively little about Avaar culture, and he could have provided some insight into that. He also has an amusing line if Vivienne is along when the Inquisitor encounters him.

 

Vivienne: Preposterous superstition.

 

Sky Watcher: Preposterous is that outfit you wore to a bog, Orlesian.

I'm all about a potential Avvar companion at some point. I'd love to get to know more about the culture. (And I'll also join in the chorus about Bull. He really ended up being a bit of wasted potential.)

[AresKeith]

Hopefully we get one next game, definitely have potential there

How far north do the Avvar extend? If they are only in Southern Thedas chances are we won't see them in future games since Bioware wants to go north.

They're strictly Southern Thedas, as far as I am aware. However, it would provide an interesting story to tell. The Avvar that somehow made his or her way up North.

Yeah, like perhaps they were captured by Tevinter slavers but never relinquished their culture. 

 

I'd like to actually be able to play as an Avvar as well. 

[The Velveteen Rabbit]

Sky Watcher would be a great companion because he could provide more insight about the Avvar people, and maybe other "barbarian" tribes, too. We know so little about them. Plus he just seems like a really chill guy.  

[ctd757]

It would be awesome I feel it's way more fringe cultures we don't know about.

[Vita Brevis]

Now that op said it... damn. Qunari is so overrated. We've been dealing with them 3 games already, and now we met some badass culture, been able to interract with them... and then nothing. And I remember from the earlier videos how we supposedly could make Chief an ambassador. Wasted. 

 

Btw, absolutely loved all about the Sky Watcher - his responses to the Inq, Solas and especially Vivienne are just awesome.

[Bugsie]

Having an avvar companion would be kinda cool.

[Ecol-i]

The Avaar, the Chasind, both are severely underused in all 3 games, Awakening gave us some good insights of Avaar culture, and then, when you finally get to meet them in DAI, you gotta kill 'em all!! ; It would have been nice to have a diplomatic solution like with the Hassarian.

[AlleluiaElizabeth]

I don't necessarily want him as a companion. But he should show up at Skyhold occaisionally. Like it'd be great if you had just a spot or two where recruited agents could show up at skyhold and hang out. Like the tavern maybe? Maybe it'd switch out everytime you loaded Skyhold and it'd be someone else in the spot so he wouldn't *always* be there. But yeah.

 

Companion, no, but clickable NPC in Skyhold or some other Inquisition controlled territory, yes.

[Eliastion]

Sky Watcher would be a great addition (and definitely seems like he would be better than Iron Bull) but I don't think putting Avvars in games located further north is a good idea. The North (other than Tevinter) is mostly unknown: There are those burial rites of Nevarra and their mortalisssi. If I understand correctly, they have a special (somewhat priestly) order of mages, combined with practice of burying dead with intention of leaving the body to a spirit posessing it when the soul departs... How exactly does combine with Chantry teachings? Then there are city-states, Antiva, Blighted Anderfels and, in the east, the mistical Rivain where three different cultures somehow try to coexist...

There are just too many things that should be explored to drag in Avvars too. Avvars were, unfortunately, a wasted opportunity - they would be a great addition to Inquisition (much better than this somewhat out-of-place Qunari) but since they were not really included beyond legend of Trydda and custom of painting enemy's house with goat blood - I think BW would do better to leave them out for now altogether.

Unless they include them in some expansion-sized DLC to Inquisition, that is.

 

Still, I definitely agree, Sky Watcher seemed like a great companion opportunity, it's a pity he wasn't really recrutable. And it would definitely be nice to see a non-andrastian (but still rooted in SOME culture, unlike Morrigan) human perspective. Avvars seem like fun  

[Vallasch]

Yeah, considering that there's pretty much always an additional companion DLC, it seems to me that Sky Watcher would lend himself to it the best. You can find him relatively early on, unlike Sir Michel; being a shaman he would provide lots of great insight and exposition. Also he has a massive hammer and a cool helmet!
