Why did old favorite have to be

Oghren could an old favourite when it comes to banter, I'll give him that much. But old favourites for most people would be people like Morrigan, Leliana, Sten etc. For me I personally loved him as drunken, pervy friend. But he wouldn't be my favourite. (Leliana is mine, with Shale and Sten being seconds)

Actually I believe Oghren to be the least favorite NPC from DA if fanpolls and personal opinion are to be believed.
I assume he was simply the logical choice for the setting. BW decided to place (most ?) parts of DA:A in dwarven dungeons / the deeps roads so I guess Oghren was a natural fit :/ .

Why at least name him "An old favorite" they labeled him as a favorite that was misleading. I honestly expected Morrgian or something

Hmm in my endings he becomes a General as well, so he would certainly be more involved than everyone else (except if Alistair is the king, how can you beat a king?)

you back in the old days.... when DA:O was out, people didn't like Morrigan or Zevran or even Leliana... but they didn't complain... they just left them in camp. might be an idea if you don't like ohgren. There are so many options in this expansion. That dont liking a characters and have to stick up with them is common. Besides if you don't liek a character that means they did a great job in making that character hated

Agreed, Shale or Morrigan would have been my picks as favorites. Ohgren was tied with Sten for my least favorite. Sten being least favorite because somehow, no matter how I build him, he blows in combat. And Wynne... Well, she's just lame, I just kill her in most of my play throughs.

And yet look at what's happening now. I can't comment on it since I only got DA:O in Jan, but if that is true then I wouldn't be too suprised if a bit before Awakening is released or a while after that Oghren suddenly becomes a fan favourite.

I was here when Dragon Age was released and I didn't hate Morrgian. I never did, and for Leliana she was alright but I never said I hated her. Some people naturally didn't like her but I don't think they switched their minds Only one I dislike and I still dislike is Zervan.

Good for you, keeping individuality is important. Btw I don't blame you with Zevran, he is such a slimy character. I can't even be bothered to get as far as a romance with him, even though that's apparently the bit that changed peoples minds.

Opinions vary. Oghren wasn't my favorite, but I liked him better than most. A lot of other people's favorites are on my "leave in camp" list.
What I don't get are the people who say Sten and Oghren weren't good in combat. They were among my best damage dealers almost every game.

Oghren sat and guarded my camp. The only time I took him along was when forced too, and for his personal quest.. i plied him with enough drink to get him to ask me for his quest.. My favorites were Sten, shale and Zevran. I'd say Alistair, but by my game endings, that is a given. And he will most likely pop in Awakenings. Good ole Zev was the only one that offered to keep hanging out with me after ending the blight..

Oghren makes the most sense of all the companions to be willing to drink from the chalice (Hey Oghren try this special brew MWHEHEHE) and become a Grey Warden.

I think you are taking 'old favorite' a bit too literally.

What clues did they give us since that DLC was released about an old companion returning? The only clue they gave us was that it was an old favorite. Leading many to assume that it was Morrgian or Leiana. Now if they said an Old comanion returning
Would have been different, sorry just waiting after weeks and months to figure out who the Old favorite is and to discover, he wasn't really a favorite. Least not with me, he said all the funny things at the right time but I gladly switched him from my Party to have, Shale...Morrgian...Leliana..Wynn

Oghren is a good camp guard! It is where he will most likely be in Awakenings too..

Ohgren was Bioware's "old returning favorite" ...as to why..well only they know for sure, but yeah its got to do with this upcoming expansion.
So perhaps they shouldn't have labelled him as "a old returning favorite"...because everyone has their own.
Sure .."some" like him.
I tolerate him.
Oh hello Ohgren...how are you today?
*belch*
Yes...yes thats why he's the "old returning favorite" doncha know?

Honestly I think all our companions are going to be GW's we recruit to rebuild the order. Who besides Oghren would undergo the Joining? Who besides Oghren would you WANT to? (From the in character perspective knowing they could die.)

Well we don't know how the five new companions will react to the "Joining" or even if they will join. Probably Ohgren is the only one that will...it wouldn't surprise me.

Actually, if you're trying to incorporate the player's decisions from Origins, Oghren is probably one of the most likely companions to still be alive and available.
-Alistair may be dead, dead drunk, or busy as king.
-Morrigan left, with or without the dark ritual.
-Wynne had a couple of chances to die. Otherwise, she's still at death's door.
-Shale is DLC, so wouldn't have even been in some people's games.
-Sten returned to the Qun.
-Zevran could have died when you met him, could have betrayed you to rejoin the crows, or could have left after defeating the crows.
I think the "old favorite" had to be either Oghren, Leliana, or Dog to make sense with the highest percentage of possible endings. If it had been Leliana, it would have opened another can of worms due to the romance angle. I can't think of a good reason not to bring Dog back, but I'm sure there would have been people unhappy with that too.
