Talk:Companions and advisors (Inquisition)

Confirmed companions
Just a note that this page should be limited to confirmed companions, announced by BioWare. Which, as of right now, consists solely of Varric, Cassandra, and Vivienne. Per Mike Laidlaw's twitter, a character from Asunder has been confirmed to appear in the game, but not yet confirmed as a companion. The unknown qunari in the concept art hasn't even been confirmed as an actual character in the game (which I'm pretty sure he will be at some point, but he hasn't yet).

Ugly romance options
Is it just me or is it that, if not all, most of the possible romance options are very ugly? Cassandra looks like a man (since she's a soldier), Vivienne is really ugly, Varric is a dwarf and Solas is bald...--Darth Hammu (talk) 20:55, May 12, 2014 (UTC)
 * please do not use talk pages to discuss content, use the forums instead. Additionally, only Cassandra and Cullen are confirmed to be romancable.Henio0 (talk) 22:42, May 12, 2014 (UTC)

Iron Bull = Tal Vashoth?
Since Iron Bull is actively a member of the Ben-Hassrath, he's not actually a Tal-Vashoth, right?

Leliana Possibly The 9th Companion?
An article from Kotaku writes that Darrah said "The nine followers will be a mix of both characters that are new to Inquisition and ones you are familiar with from the previous games."

Also, one part of this trailer shows Leliana fighting with the Inquisitor, though I'm not sure if it's just that scene or is a companion, but if you put this and the earlier statement together, it makes sense. Phanvrad (talk) 19:45, June 12, 2014 (UTC)

no she was confirmed as the advisor for the inquisition. if you look at the group photo the man with the emo haircut is the final companion Thehumaneldar (talk) 22:05, June 12, 2014 (UTC)

Companion Organization
Their is i bit of a debate of how the companions should be shown. one say in alphabetical order the other says by class. to solve the debacle this should be placed to a vote by the wiki. Thehumaneldar (talk) 03:26, June 14, 2014 (UTC)


 * Not really sure why there's a debate about this, Companions for every game thus far have been sorted alphabetically. It should be standardized across the wiki. --Kelcat (talk) 03:32, June 14, 2014 (UTC)


 * Alphabetical order seems the most logical to me. 08:23, June 14, 2014 (UTC)


 * I was the one editing it by class because I thought it looked better, but have now realised it's alphabetical across the wiki. I apologise for my previous edits on the page, let's leave it as it is from now on. Xsari (talk) 13:00, June 14, 2014 (UTC)

Since we're doing it alphabetically, I suggest doing it LAST NAME, FIRST NAME, i.e. Cassandra under P, Varric under T, and then go back to Origins and DA2 anc change like Zevran to A. Henio0 (talk) 18:51, June 23, 2014 (UTC)


 * Forenames are applicable to all companions while surnames are applicable to only a few. I think it's simplest to stick with the characteristic which applies to them all. 21:27, June 23, 2014 (UTC)

Iron Bull confirmed to be romanceable?
http://imgur.com/AAW1pkb I'm not sure if that's enough to be considered as a "confirmation", but I just thought I'd mention it. :> --41.132.211.115 (talk) 23:25, June 23, 2014 (UTC)


 * not really as it is more of a tease then a real confirmationThehumaneldar (talk) 02:59, June 24, 2014 (UTC)

Sexuality
why on earth is there any relevance to Dorian and Sera being the first solely gay and lesbian companions in the Dragon Age series, is it relevant that Zevran and Leliana were the first Bisexual companions? no, not really at all. So adding such 'trivia' is unnecessary.

Did you really just copied and pasted the same thing on theee different talk pages? This one doesn't even have anything remotely connected to sexuality.Henio0 (talk) 02:17, June 28, 2014 (UTC)

Untitled
All the romance options are ugly. So no pre order for me. I'll wait for a price drop or buy it used.

Dragon Age Inquisition companions are all too ugly to romance. What a big dissapointment.

Untitled 2
Shouldn't the heart next to Dorian be removed? He is confirmed gay companion, not a gay romance, just like Iron Bull is confirmed bi (will sleep with anything that moves) but not a bi romance. Did I miss the confirmation that he is a romance some where? 97.121.44.216 (talk) 01:46, July 2, 2014 (UTC)Kakyuu


 * Looks like someone on facebook asked specifically, and someone official replied that he is indeed going to be a romance --Kelcat (talk) 01:56, July 2, 2014 (UTC)

Merge proposal
✅ I don't agree with merging the companions and advisors articles. Companions are people who can join your party, whereas advisors cant. I think the two should be left separate rather than be lumped together. --Kelcat (talk) 21:40, July 9, 2014 (UTC)

✅ I agree with Kelcat, they should remain separate. Xsari (talk) 23:05, July 09, 2014 (GMT)

✅ I don't see what's so different about advisors to warrant a separate page. The two articles are two very similar short lists. 22:05, July 9, 2014 (UTC)

✅ No point in merging. Consider that advisers are the Dragon Age equivalent of Mass Effect characters like Joker, Cortez, and Traynor. They're important characters with a similar level of interactivity to squad members, some even having romance options. At the end of the day, they don't join the fight like squad members do, and that's why they aren't considered as such. Having them get their own article but share a template is a fine solution. Mr. Mittens (talk) 23:33, July 9, 2014 (UTC)

✅ The Mass Effect example actually works in favor of merging. Allies like Joker are on the same page as squad members, just under a different subheading. --Summerfield (talk) 00:30, July 10, 2014 (UTC)
