Since I just played the Descent, I'm gonna say Valta for companion! Cool character with a strong connection to an area of the lore that hasn't been explored as much and has what could probably be a very interesting combat mechanic in that she's a dwarven warrior with some kind of magical ability previously unseen.

 

You didn't get the Larias/Corypheous vibe from her?

I thought she'd be part of what stops Solas. But not in a help the player kind of way. More like, destroy the world the Titan version kind of way.

 

Now that I've been thinking about it, does anyone think we may see Velanna again? Probably not aa a companion or even visually, but I could imagine hearing mention of her.

She was such a super unforgiving personality, I can't imagine her mentoring anyone @_@

Yeah she doesn't have the temperament to be a teacher. But I am curious as to how she would react to Solas. I think we could see that play out somehow whether it be cameo, novel appearance, companion, or codex entry. And her being a grey warden could add an interesting element to the mix.

Well, there was an otherworldly creepiness to her, yes, but she was fundamentally altered by an unknown force. It's unnerving because it changed her demeanor, but that doesn't have to be inherently bad. Corypheus was already bonkers and antagonistic before he jumped into Janeka's/Larius's body, after all.  I'm not sure why the Titan she's connected to would want to destroy the world. True we don't know much about its motivations or Titans in general, but in Inquisition it only became aggressive out of anxiety over the Breach, and her connection to it was enough to calm it down. In her writings, she talks about it in terms of loneliness, not anger or domination.

 

I think they could play a major role at some point in the future, and having a character connected to one would be a good way to get information on them, since the only other character who probably has insight on them is Solas and I think even he may be limited in that area, given his relative disinterest about Titans and dwarves. Exploiting one foe with a world ending plan to defeat another foe with a world ending plan could be an interesting balance to play with, but also could allying with a mysterious world shaping entity to stop the world ending foe.

 

But it's all speculation! If she is a villain and is secretly working to restore something older and forgotten that the Titan wants, then it'd probably be best if she's not a companion, given that it's the same arc as Solas and that'd be repetitive.

But when Cory jumped Larias, he was odd but friendly, and Hawke chalks it up to the fact that he was odd all along. (It just occurred to me that Larias still had a soul and that whole setup should have met implosion and death but whatever...) And Valta goes from ... I don't know. She went super quiet and inwardly focused all of a sudden, which I guess could happen if you are suddenly communing with a massive eternal entity.

 

I like the idea of allying with "a mysterious world shaping entity to stop the world ending foe." storyline idea a lot. That doesn't mean the Titan couldn't help stop Solas then turn around to do it's bad business though-DA5?

I feel certain that any previously romancable companion will not be making a second appearance as a companion in future games, outside of perhaps as temporary one. There's too many variables involved there, and they haven't done so in the past. However, I can see a few of them returning as advisors in the next game, like Leliana did.

 

If the game does indeed take place in Tevinter, like so many believe it will, Dorian could easily be a Magister advisor, especially if you play a mage character. 

 

Vivienne could probably show up as a companion again, possibly as an LI this time (as her paramour passes away in Inquisition).

 

If the game takes place in Tevinter and focuses on the next Qunari invasion, then Tallis will probably make an appearance, possibly as a Qunari spy and romance option.

 

I have to say that I am tempted to believe that Feynriel could be a possible companion... EXCEPT that there's too many variables surrounding him. He could be Tranquil, or possessed, or living in the Imperium learning to harness his abilities. I would love to have him as a companion, but there's too many possibilities to have him around. As a side note, however, wouldn't it be amazing if, as a mage in the next game, it turns out you are also a Dreamwalker? Then if he is available (not Tranquil or possessed), he can probably be an advisor or teach you an extra ability.

 

One person who I would love to have around is Finn (or Florian Phineas Horatio Aldebrant Esquire). He was one of the best parts in Witch-Hunt. Apparently since we've last seen him he's matured quite a bit, and done some more traveling with Ariane. It's also implied (by the replica necklace he wears which looks like the one ancient Tevinter priests wore) that he is very interested in ancient Tevinter, the Old Gods, and their history. He would fit in perfectly. I hope he's not too changed though- I would hate to have him be completely hardened and no longer adorkable at all.

 

Along with Finn, Ariane would be an interesting companion to have along. The two of them together would have quite a few fun conversations, I am sure. But knowing how BioWare works, they'd probably make it so that you could only recruit one of them, not both.

 

I'd very much like to have a Chasind or Avvar companion. They're always mentioned but so rarely seen.

 

I've pretty much resigned myself to having the next game be in Tevinter, but what I would really love is to be able to play a character who is Avvar, or Chasind. I love their cultures, their people, their religions- I just find everything about them to be fascinating. And since we had the Jaws of Hakkon DLC in Inquisition, it wouldn't be too out-of-the-blue to have an Avvar hero. After all the main villain of Inquisition first made his appearance in a DLC for Dragon Age II.

 

I know that there are a lot of people who still want Varric around, but I think his time is over. He's played a big role in two DA games, and it's clear that he's going nowhere fast. He's stuck in the past, and keeping him on would be pointless in my opinion, even as an advisor.

I agree with everything you said. Except that Tallis was a good background story wasted on a bad character.

Solas as mentor in DA4!

 

Yeah I'm being silly.  The only way that would work is if somehow midway through the game he's no longer the villain of the scenario.  I have the feeling that after DA4 he's going to be dead or at least indisposed/never appearing in game again, and that's a shame because of all the lore info he could share.

 

More seriously, I would love to have an Avvar companion.  No one else enjoyed chilling out with Thane Svarah Sun-Hair?  I'm aware that the Jaws of Hakkon DLC wasn't everyone's favorite, but I loved the lore it added.  So much lore!  Avvar are quite interesting culturally, so if one were willing to accompany us outside of the Frostbacks, I'd welcome his or her aid.

 

And we need a mabari.  I know we're going to Tevinter.  I don't care.  I'm still Fereldan at heart.  Gimme my puppy!  And if I cannot have a dog, then give me a cat.

 

I can't think of any characters I'd just absolutely have to have return in DA4.  Dorian seems likely.  I don't think we're going to see Varric again, though.  Cassandra, Vivienne, and Leliana all appear to be spoken for since they could be Divine and the only reason the Divine would appear is for diplomatic reasons.  More likely our new spymaster will be Charter or Lace Harding.

 

I would like to have a double agent or even an outright infiltrating spy in our party, probably Solas's agent.  Even if you go to great lengths to avoid spies coming aboard, you can fail or you can recruit the wrong person.  It'd make for a good story to see their moral dilemma and inner struggles play out as they decided who their loyalty ultimately belonged to.  Better hope you treated them well and earned their respect, or they'll turn on you in a critical moment...

Yes to all of this! Especially Finn, Ariane, and Avvar everything. I'm glad we're heading farther north, and I'm super excited about the possibility of trawling around Tevinter or Seheron, but the one thing about it that's disappointing is we're less likely to have any kind of Avvar origin/background. They're one of my favorite cultures in the setting.

I like the idea of a Vivienne romance, but with her Divine ending I doubt it would happen.

[Yermogi]

I will say that Tallis is not my favorite character. That DLC was... interesting, I suppose? But not my favorite out of them all. But a lot of people did like her, and did kiss her, so I would not be surprised if she did in fact return as a companion and full romance in the next game. Not for me, because I despise the Qun, but for some people they'd go for that.

I completely forgot about the Divine thing- yes, with that possibility, you're right, I don't see Vivienne returning. A bit of a shame, really, since I love her character. I don't agree with everything she believes, but her elegance, her manner of speaking, her intelligence and cunning- all of those things I truly loved about her.

 

And I'm still holding out  hope for an Avvar/Rivani hero, especially as a mage. It would be so interesting to see how a mage raised in a magic-friendly society would react and behave around cultures who are more restrictive about magic. To the Avvar and Rivani, magic just is- why be afraid of it? Respectful and cautious, yes, but why afraid? A sword can kill you just as easily.

 

And I am STILL holding out for Finn! Finn and his Ghastly Hat and Immaculate Robes!

[TheJediSaint]

Considering Tresspasser rather strongly hinted that Tevinter being the setting for the next game, I'm going to assume Dorian will show up in some capacity.

 

Beyond that? I'm actually looking forward to starting with a completely new cast of characters.

This all sounds interesting. Good ideas :]

[DuskWanderer]

I don't want anyone to return who had a large role in the previous game. We are in an entirely new place that is alien from the rest of Thedas, and the characters should reflect that. The only people who should be allowed to return are cameo and small sidequest characters.

 

I want Charade Amell as a party member, she can do the Friends of Red Jenny right, rather then the crazy nonsense we saw with Sera. 

 

If I'm getting a mentor, I want Speaker Viuus Anaxus, since he could fit in well. 

[Walter Black]

I'm just sad David Gaider moving on means he won't be there to safeguard our favorite 'Vint. The last time one of Gaider's beloved characters was passed on to someone else, it was Anders, and....uh.... well, we know how that ended.

 

 

"Safeguard our favorite 'Vint?" Is there some other David Gaider whose character's players couldn't screw over?

 

Alistair, who you could betray and leave a drunk, execute, or sacrifice in the Fade? Not to mention how his reunion with Maric in the comics was one big Shoot the Shaggy Dog Story?

 

Morrigan, who you could deny her greatest wish, stab and leave for dead, and be a deadbeat dad to Keiran?

 

Fenris, who you could dump, kill, or sell back into slavery?

 

Yeah, David was a real Papa Wolf...

[Gago]

Yavana! Well not really as a companion but just bring her back, she was awesome. She being dead is bullshit imo. 

[Nocte ad Mortem]

Everyone that I would want to spend a lot of time with again could be dead in some game states, so I hope they do all new companions and anyone brought back is in about the same capacity as the "who will be ruler of Orlais" storyline, where they're around and involved in the story, but not in a major capacity. 

[DreamerM]

Dorian is almost definitely going to be in the next game. We saw a map of Tevinter, and Dorian is now a reform-minded magister with a murdered father to investigate. He'll be playing a big role in the next game. I don't know if he'll be a companion again or just a quest giver, but he'll be in it.

Dorian also, if he was friends with the Inquisitor, remains in constant contact with them via message crystal, meaning we will hear news of them at the very least.

I think Mae is going to finally appear onscreen in the next game too. I have it in my head that if the next game DOES take place in Tevinter, then at some point we'll be able to make Dorian or Mae the Archeon.

If the war with the Qunari flares up, then Sten is going to make at least a cameo appearence. I think whoever you elected Divine is going to be part of the story too.

Cullen promises to pick his sword back up if it's ever needed. He might provide emergency reinforcements at the last minute.

Josephine is going back to Antiva but traders go everywhere and hear eveyrthing, so she could appear as well.

 

I worry this is going to be the game that gives us Tallis as a romanceable companion. I can't stand Tallis. I never thought I'd see the day when I called a Felicia Day character "dour and humorless" but as a devotee of the expansionist authoritarian Qun that is definitely her. Ugh.

I'd like to see Fenris again, just because he has unfinished business with the Tevinter.

 

Where the hell is Sandal??

[Farci Reprimer]

Your own Inquisitor of course!

 

It would only make sense if the protagonist in DA4 is an ally of the Inquisition in its mission to track down Solas.

You would play small segments of the game as the Inquisitor, but never in adventuring/combat because of the obvious reasons regarding his/her missing hand.

He/she would just talk and negotiate the future with the big leaders of Thedas while our new protagonist would be in his/her epic quest around the world. So the protagonist of next dragon age wouldnt need to be as important figure as the DAI counterpart.

 

In DAI I enjoyed having my Hawke in my party for that sort while but I thought it really was a missed opportunity from Bioware to make the DA2 protagoinist a full secret party member for your inquisition. And maybe even seconday protagonist for that game as well.

Hi baboontje I've been trying to get in contact with u forever! I even went as far as making an account!!! But I just wanted to ask u if u have a tutorial of the elf u made in ur profile pic. I really love her she's perfection
