I didn't even realize that Oghren had been confirmed as the returner -- they just kind of snuck that into the updated FAQ.
I feel kind of bad -- I bet they would have made a bigger deal and maybe given him his own promo video if he hadn't gotten such a grumpy reaction on the forums. And, really, I think only a small minority actually dislikes him -- people just were disappointed not to be getting their love interests back.
So this is the official "We don't hate you, Oghren" thread. The poor guy is an alcoholic with PTSD, he doesn't need hate from a bunch of nerds on the internet on top of it.
Aw, poor Oghren...

He doesn't need a promo video, we know who he is. Crude, red-haired, drunk at knee-length.
I was disgruntled at first at the Oghren choice, but now there's other more important problems to address.

I think Oghren hitting on the new elf keeper chick will be priceless

I don't hate him at all, I just found him boring. He was a mildly entertaining conversation to have at camp for me and that's about it.
He wasn't particularly useful in a fight so he can stay and guard the base.

He is the only camp follower with mustaches, of course he had to come along. And he seems to be the one with the biggest grudge against darkspawn in the team.

I've heard that two-handers get good at the very top end of the Origins level range (I haven't tried one myself) -- so who knows, maybe Oghren will be a DPS monster in Awakening.

Pretty much.
It is kind of interesting seeing posts shift from "Quote all the funny stuff that Oghren says!" from shortly after launch to the "He doesn't need a promo video, we know who he is. Crude, red-haired, drunk at knee-length." posts of now.
Apparently Oghren is only liked when he doesn't take the spot of another companion.
Poor, poor Oghren.

Out of my anti-hate thread, hater! Don't you realize that silverware and fictional characters have feelings?

I always liked Oghren. Funniest companion of all, a very good DPS when using 2-handers and a Complete psycho monster when respecced to dual-wielding
Edit: this and his speech to the guardian of the ashes won me over

He was boring probably because Bioware didn't want to develop his character too much, so now they have material to use in Awakening. All Oghren had as a back story was his hook up with Felsi and he starting drinking when Branka left. It was really hard to get Oghren's bar to its max because there wasn't much to talk to him about, mind you it was very possible to max out if you planned your gift giving well. For the rest of the companions there is more of a sense of closure I feel, but that's just me.

Oghren ftw baby... best companion in Origins I have a feeling, if awakening turns out to be good, Oghren will have allot more fans when all is said and done.
But Oghren is yesterday's news, people have new stuff to complain about now!

I love Oghren and I was glad to have him along. Every future King needs a drunken ally to improve his reputation.

Oghren is the friend you bring along whenever you go out; the funny, slightly overweight one who isn't as sucessful as you and makes you look that much better.

I think because Oghren was only in origins for a small amount of time compared to the other companions bioware have decided to keep him in the dragon age universe for longer in awakaning.

I think Oghren is in awakaning because he wasnt in origins for as long as the other companions.

Oghren was my favorite character since the release of his trailer, back in November. Then I had some character jumps mostly because I didn't have Oghren for a lot of time, but by the end of November, he was my favorite.

Off-topic, but yes. The game will remember and reflect all major player choices for imported character saves -- the "ultimate sacrifice" issue aside.
But -- more attention for Oghren. He is a redhead with braids. Is he nothing more than a ripoff of Pippi Longstocking? Discuss.

If you really want to like Oghren, imagine him as a drunken Wolverine (same voice actor). Gets me everytime.
