It will be forced choices on companions. If we are going with "Your choices matter" line then yeah the only choice that held importance in this entire game was who traveled with my warden.
When too much realism ruins the fun factor of a game then its a bad game.
Despite not liking Oghren, I understand why your happy he is returning as it appears to be BUT many others would rather their selection was made valid. Its doubtful cameos will be made for all of them since it would involve hiring all the actor/actresses back in by which you may aswell include all the companions, Would you be happy if Oghren was made a codex?
It's FAR more then just hireing voice actors you don't seem to understand how damn hard it is to incorporate, program, and do justice to these characters. Think of it like this, Wrex as well as all the romance options in ME were not brought back as companions into ME2 because it would have been to much of a challenge to write them into the story and do them justice by incorporating the events that occured in the first game. Efforts that would have gone to comeplete and utter waste to many gamers because the characters might not have even survived! Wrex was the fan favorite of the game, he even won awards for crying out loud, but it amount of work to write him into the story was not worth it because he might not even be IN the story.
The characters in DA:O were much more complex then in ME. There was many fates they could have met, many ways they could have eveolved, and most could actually die quite easily. If it would have been hard to include the ME characters listed above as companions in ME2, then it would be damn near impossible to include the DA:O companions as companions once more.
You asked me if I would be happy of Oghren was made codex. All you need to do is look at how I reacted to Wrex's role in ME2. I was a HUGE Wrex fan, liking him even more the Oghren. Yet I wasn't upset at all he didn't return as a companion, infact I defended bioware's decsion and even looked foward to meeting his replacement, because I KNEW and ACCEPTED all of the above. He was in ME2, and his role made complete and utter sense. It worked.
So no I would not be upset if Oghren was codexed, although obviously I'm happy he's reappearing.
Simply put, the devs have a budget, they have a timescale, and they have a ton on their plate. They cannot do everything we want, it's impossible. People spend months upon months upon months working with the companions and getting them right. Despite what me or you think, sometimes as much as the fans want it, it's NOT worth it.
Rest assured, that the fates of companions will not be left hanging in their air, you might not be able to group with them, but the devs will do them justice.
Rest assured you will meet new characters who you will enjoy and route for... and complain when they don't return
PS- You don't like Oghren but you said you NEVER travled with him. Many many people over looked him and wrote him off in their first or even second play through (understandible as he's hard to get, serves the same role as five other companions, and comes off as cliche' at first), but then gave him a chance and became a fan. Hell, more then a few on this thread alone have addmited it if you don't beleave me. I would bet the majority of haters never travled with him outside of Ozzimar.
You gotta keep an open mind my friend. I think thats your problem. Sorry for the long post, I hope you don't mind reading it all, as I am done! Pfhhh.
