Chuck Norris is neither Teagan nor Duncan. They couldn't select one that ends with an "n". Therefore, Chuck Norris is the CRRRIMSON OARS captain!

This explains the roundhouse kicks I've been receiving from my pre-order.

They are probably in denial because they simply don't want him as a party member. That's probably the only reason I can think of for why people are so adamant about this issue.

That's exactly the reason.

No. I can never be happy. NEVER! >:|


But in seriousness, I'm highly suspecting that they'll pull a Mass Effect in terms of the companion, and it'll be whoever has the highest friendship with the player (and if the character has max affinity with multiple people and no romance, it'd go down a certain order or be selected randomly). If a new character is created, the companion defaults to Oghren.

It'd completely make sense if this was the case, as that way EVERYONE'S "old favorite" will come back, because it's you who chooses who that old favorite will be (unless, as previously said, you start a fresh character). It also makes sense that Oghren is constantly shown in trailers if he's the default character, because for trailer purposes they're already treating certain things (like King Alistair) as set-in-stone even though that's not the case in-game.

This would be the ideal scenario for certain. We would all be SO happy with Bioware, wouldn't we  

[NeroSparda]

Leliana's voice actor is too expensive? Well that is obvious that she most likely that my major PC LI won't be returning. My poor, lonely, female elf mage. Well at least Oghren is returning,considering he and Leliana were in my party most of the time. Alistair, Sten, and Shale were switched around.

[Ryngard]

I still don't think, based on the limited evidence we have, know it is Oghren. BUT he is a likely candidate. He's a cool character, but he is generally the last, or near last, character you get. I don't think he qualifies as "an old favorite".

I DO think that it won't be one of the MAIN ones (Alistair, Morrigan, Zevran or Leliana (cries). I.e. no returning love interests, they will be in DA2 or another expansion.

I think out of the pool it is most likely Oghren, Sten, or even Dog. An "old favorite" USUALLY implies a fun side character that a niche group liked.

I am sure it is NOT Wynne or Shale (DLC... don't think she'll be added). I'd lean no Alistair as Awakenings supposedly takes your old save into account so if Alistair died... well he can't join ya.

So yeah, my FINAL rambling vote is Sten! Yeah! Bring back Sten!

Really though, it is likely Oghren, not based on the dwarf in the trailer, but due to process elimination. It is easiest to bring in a character that doesn't have as many splinters in choices (i.e. be a love interest, die to the arch-demon, etc). 

Ok, now I'm rambling. Move along!

I'm sure they'll surprise us. I don't mind if Oghren is the returning though, there is not enough dwarf love! I always love the dwarf companion in anything, and he also has some funny scenes. I do hope I get to see Leliana though...

This is very much NOT the case. We do not have the budget in an expansion to do full versions of multiple characters from Origins only to let the player use one. While that would be great from a replayability standpoint, it's just not feasible. Everyone does not get their own "personal favorite" coming back. That's just the way it is, folks.

Ya well if  I don't get my personal favorite back then I am gonna hold my breath until you put them in (I will look like this  only blue). Since me throwing myself on the floor kicking and crying won't get any attention (except from my wife who won't care).

Corinne Kempa has a very short filmography. She hasn't done anything since 2004, except for Dragon Age and Morris: A Life with Bells On. I don't know why she would be that expensive.

It looks like my personal favorite is coming back

If it's Oghren I'm gonna do the happy dance! :):) see these faces. All the emoticons won't do it justice when they finally officially announce Oghren as the returning companion. I'm gonna enjoy all the people whining when their favorite doesn't return, espcially the Alistair fangirls, as they tend to be the ones that hate Oghren the most, I figure cause he's the opposit of attractive and dreamy.

This emoticon will be the official companion whine police. Prepare for a excessive force beat down Lelina lovers!

Exactly. We are the people who actually PAY for the games, remember. We are entitled to our opinions and we choose as to whether or not we purchase future expansions.

Why is it that when a person dislikes a character they think most people agree with them.

Sorry bro, but the biggest "who do you want back in Awakaning poll" I've seen (well over 200 posts) had Oghren come in 4th place, only beaten by morrigan, Alistair, and Leliana.... and Oghren was fairly high above 5th place Zevran.

So from what I've seen (notice how I don't pretend to know what everyone thinks) Oghren is popular... just saying...

I'm sorry, but it's responses like this that annoy the hell out of me. I wasn't a fan of Sten, but if he was the returning character I wouldn't go and say "why Sten NOBODY likes sten, whaa whaa whaa." Cause it's a d*** move and not true.

Well it's pritty obvious our little red headed dwarf friend is probbly gonna be the returning character however before I go I must say my piece



MORRIGAN FTW : )



Would be so much better if she was the returning character but oh well one can always hope

[Ponce de Leon]

Considering Oghren isn't a romance option and got that high, we can say he's the best non romance option character. And besides, I don't know how people would feel if they get one old romance option instead of all 4. Just saying...



Still, I'd be A LOT happier if I could buy BioWare points. You BioWare really don't want to earn some money huh? Answer this, mr. Gaider : WHY, can't I buy BioWare points, WHY?! And I thought we were friends!

[MaxQuartiroli]

Are you sure that poll was not affected by the fact they showed him in the trailer.. then people who defends Bioware's choice has voted for him? Was that poll built BEFORE or AFTER the trailer? I believe that, for example, if in trailer they had shown Sten many people then might vote for him and not for Oghren

Modifié par MaxQuartiroli, 09 février 2010 - 10:09 .

[Ponce de Leon]

I don't know. Many people weren't happy to see Oghren in the trailer, and their only hope was to deny they saw everything, fooling themselves. It still isn't said it will be him though.

[SinYang]

Facts:
Poll was made after the trailer, every Oghren thread appeared after the trailer. Wishpig, dark-lauron
& Hugmejohnny appeared after the trailer to make everyone agree with their opinion.
If you dont agree that Oghren rocks or post another possible option, expect another post from them soon 

[MaxQuartiroli]

You're right but all other people who don't care about romances and therefore don't disagree to see him in the trailer maybe gave preference to Oghren just as approvation to this choice... I'd really like to see a poll before the 1st trailer, just to see how were the preferences of players about companions

[Ponce de Leon]

@SinYang : not... ehh, to protest or anything, but I really was a super fan of Oghren even before, making many posts on the old forums about it, and how quickly he went from third to first position. My last post about it was :

Last time here, I promise!

After completing Shale's quest, the golem loses some points, making Oghren the top of the top for me! Asschabs!



Edit : ... do I get banned for this?

According to the forums : Posted: Monday, 30 November 2009 12:33AM

And at that time, I didn't know of an expansion. When I saw the trailer though, I did go on action.
