These are about characters I care and wanna see, even if they barely get a mention by myself. Some characters I don't care about.
I know that DAi is all done and such, and you can't really go back and change it in bulk, yet, BUT...
I'm gonna be honest here. It would've been 100x better for me if instead of Stroud, Hawke got Warden Oghren instead as his 3rd or even a 4th potential contact in Here Lies The Abyss.
Stroud still makes sense because Hawke meets him in the Deep Roads and potentially again during the Qunari attack on Kirkwall. He knows Stroud and knows that he's a good and trustworthy person.
Alistair and Loghain make sense because they both are loyal wardens that see the bigger picture and thus didn't follow the others, they both stayed with the wardens after traveling, AND they both walked with the Hero of Ferelden.
Oghren would've made sense because he's not really a guy who follows people (he followed the HoF out of respect as I understood it) and he also walked with the Hero. If he heard the calling and etc, he may have gotten in contact with the HoF all frantic about what was going on, and maybe from there he could've been sent to Hawke because reasons X or Y. You could've also added dialogue regarding Felsi and the nugget. I mean, you guys are the writers, you have creative license.
I figured that Oghren would make sense with this kind of entry.
Nathaniel Howe could've been a 5th potential warden contact for Hawke, or at the very least, an ally. Or, if you so chose to, he could've been with the wardens at Adamant as opposed to being on the Inquisition's side.
I also wish Sten was in DAi.
For Sten, I had hoped that we would've met him in DAi in a few different ways. If he was made Arishok by returning his sword, we would've been in contact with him through Iron Bull as opposed to Tallis, or perhaps we would've been in contact with both with varying War Table missions.
If we chose not to return his sword, maybe he could've been in Redcliffe with King Alistair and/or Queen Anora for his help during the Blight, and even been a part of the In Hushed Whispers questline.
I also half-wished that, as another alternative, the HoF was the warden that Hawke knew, albeit that would've called for a rewrite on the HoF's journey, so I don't mind that he was excluded. It would've made Here Lies The Abyss that much harder for me to end on.
Zevran had the cameo/mention through the War Table missions or through his romance with the Hero, so I just hope he appears in the sequel or in a DLC when applicable. At the least, we know he's alrite.
Shale and Wynne -could- be DLC potential. I read, from comments on the Wiki, that Wynne died in one of the books. I've never read these books, and again, you guys are the owners so you can have her die, but if she -could- live along with Shale, I sense DLC potential in Tevinter, ie the mention at the end of DA:O when Wynne talks about her and Shale going there to possibly reverse Shale's golem state.
That, or in a future DLC it could be referenced in a War Table mission in some way.
Dog is probably dead. Sophia from Warden's Keep apparently died by Hawke's hand. Levi Dryden as a merchant would've been cool tho! Maybe sequel or DLC material.
Passing mention on Avernus would've been fine, or even seeing him at Adamant or getting his commentary on the situation from the Hero or something similar. There's a lot you could've done with him, but I don't mind just a mention.
Anders/Justice are what they are. Sebastian throws a fit or doesn't. I would've rather had us participate in the battle of Kirkwall if we chose to spare Anders, but the War Table missions are fine.
Sigrun, Velanna, Ariane, and Finn are all characters I adored, but I don't know how I would have them in. DLC or sequel material would be my choice.
A mention of the Architect would've been nice too.
I've never read the books as mentioned before, but on the wiki, it says that Celene mentions Marjolaine's passing, is this canon? Or if we let her live in DA:O, will she possibly appear later?
This is all my opinion, 2 cents, what I wanted to see, however you wanna look at it. Thank you for reading if you do!
