Someone from Origins I take it? I haven't played Origins in forever, and I only did one playthrough so I don't remember all that much about it. It’s Justice from Awakening, inhabiting a Grey Warden warrior’s corpse. He spends a lot of the expansion super skeeved out about the idea of moving to a living host, but Anders talks him into it sometime between Awakening and DA2. I never picked up the expansions for DA2, which is weird considering how many playthroughs I've done.

A scientist. I mean someone who see's magic and old god's and blights and the veil and all of the supernatural things in the DA universe, purely as naturally occurring phenomena that has not been properly researched to their true roots. As a dose of irony, I'd like it to be because he's secretly a mage, but intriguingly, because he's a dwarven mage.

An ancient elf, probably a mage but elven warriors are cooler to me.
Ghast mage
I’d love a companion who worked in the inquisition for some time as a grunt and didn’t meet the inquisitor face to face.
Otherwise I don’t really know who I want to see

I want a fierce, mysterious, vicious, minx of an elf hunter. In DA2 and DAI there was early concept art of this character. (she has been re-iterated multiple times) I've always loved the way this character looks and really want to see her become realized. I imagine her as being a renegade type that doesn't often say anything, but when she does it is always with impact. So funny that Elf was created for DA2 and later appeared in DAI concept art again but was never used.

The setting of Dragon Age has become too "humanized" for my liking personally. I would like to see a touch of the fantastical, and non-human, side of Thedas make a return: • Malbari hounds. We absolutely need to have a fully fledged dog companion again, especially with how these near human-level intelligent hounds were treated like mindless 'not-wolves' in Inquisition and slaughtered by the wagon load. All that compelling lore just abandoned • Werewolf or other form of Lycanthrope. How would such a companion like that think? How would they act, constantly struggling against the call of the beast and their rational nature? • Sylvan. Like the Malbari I was annoyed with how these creatures got snubbed in Inquisition; save for a moronic Plants vs Zombies reference in a random book. Intelligent tree ents, like the Grand Oak are shown to be possible, why not give us a companion actually a part of nature? I know I would jump at the chance for that, rather than some hippy knife-ear that says she can "feel the trees" • Golem. I miss Shale and would like to see another ageless warrior of dwarven make. You'd think that there would be more of them, especially since the Anvil of the Void's location was charted by the Warden in Origins. Destroyed or not, some enterprising individual, like Biannca, would eventually rediscover how to make golems again. And seeing as how Tranquility is a thing of the past (more or less) we need another robot stand in for our fantasy universe. • A disembodied spirit that jumps into the last fallen foe the party has defeated until battle damage forces it to inhabit a new form. A truly alien take to spirits and the Fade; not something we end up humanizing like Cole or possessed Anders/Justice. Maybe this could be a way to make up for the criminal under utilization of the primordial demon of fear that we saw in Inquisition but never got to interact with, outside of a shallow boss fight. • Awakened Darkspawn. Cory was a major let down, as was the abandonment of the themes the Darkspawn once invoked in Origins. I want someone like the Messenger, or even the Messenger. I want to see the Mother and her Children again. You can't get more alien and grotesque than that, which would make for a compelling companion. One that forces players to look past outward appearances and foreign motivations to try and understand 'the other'.

I've seen a couple mentions of a golem companion. It'd be neat if the character was initially non-golem, likely human or dwarf, who wanted to become a golem due to something debilitating in their life such as terminal illness. Or maybe they're just really scrawny and want to be a warrior. Their recruitment mission could be to help them transform into a golem. They either don't know about the control rod or think there's a way around it. And, just to add a little role playing, the protagonist gets to choose whether to bind the character to a control rod or not at the last minute.

Probably the same as in the South: mages who aren't part of the Circle. For example I'd say the mages in the Venatori count as apostates since they have been declared as enemies of Tevinter.

In Tevinter to be a Circle Mage is a rank. A Liberaty (freed slave) *able* to join.

Then it could be a foreigner mage, one not a part of their Circle and having no desire to be. For example Rivaini Seers, Dalish Keepers and Firsts, Grey Wardens, etc.

A spy (rogue or mage) from Those Beyond the Sea, the group you uncover in DAI table missions.
Any character whose life was negatively affected by the actions of either the HoF, Hawke or the Inq. As in maybe their parent/sibling/friend/lover turned to banditry out of desperation, and on the day they decided to leave the bandit life behind... they were simultaneously hit by a frost spell, then an arrow in the chest, then cleaved from shoulder to hip by a broadaxe.
Slavetrader/slave: Quest to either save a kind slavetrader who cares for his slaves, or the violent, unrepentant murderer sentenced to slavery. Same class.

A Mabari with Lyrium-Infused Tattoos.It wouldn't perhaps be that strange to learn that Danarius (or another Tevinter mage attempting to replicate his work) may have experimented and refined the technique on animals, before applying it to a human/elven slave. Honestly, a Mabari might be a better choice for lyrium tattoos than a human or elf. Not only do they reproduce quickly (to make up for any losses), but have complete loyalty to the person they imprint on and don't require years of combat training to be lethal on the battlefield. Regular Mabari have already proven excellent at charge enemy lines and unseating cavalry, but now imagine how much more deadly they would be with the ability to phase through both enemy combatants and enemy lines entirely? (Also they would look incredibly cool)

An Awakened Darkspawn would be very interesting to have as a companion.
The idea that their corruption can be used for something other than mere extra lives for Cory, while being a wholly new form of magic in and of itself, is certainly something about the lore of Dragon Age I wouldn't mind seeing more of. Then there's the nature of the Awakened themselves. Beings freed from the call of the old gods and given sapience to act and do as they wish. They don't need to eat or sleep, they never die of old age etc. How would an individual as detached from what's normal (or human) perceive the world?

I thought at first it would just be some knight that never seems to take their armor off that comes to help us, then during that mission say they get hit and it knocks their helmet off and we see underneath the knight was a Darkspawn. They explain the whole awakened thing, and the armor is enchanted to keep the Blight from spreading via them so that's why they always wear it.

They explain the whole awakened thing, and the armor is enchanted to keep the Blight from spreading via them so that's why they always wear it. I could see that working. Another element to the Awakened I would like to see explored again as well is the Children of the Mother. What caused their creation? From what I could see in Awakening, they were something alien, even to the Darkspawn themselves. Actually, what if our Awakened companion was a matured Child? Humanoid enough to wear armor as a disguise if needed, but completely malformed and/or grotesque insect-like underneath? That would not only provide a very interesting lore background to explore but it could also be used to subvert the commonly used trope; one that BioWare has fallen back on many a time; of good = beautiful. A hideous monster that fights to help the player, while a normal 'pretty' king is terrorizing his kingdom, for instance. Now that would be an interesting way to take the character. To force players to look beyond mere appearance and try to understand a being completely different from themselves.

Personally, I don’t care either way. I wouldn’t mind a darkspawn companion, but I won’t be sad if they’re not there.
I just can’t see how they can mitigate the taint without a lot of people getting angry and calling it a bad retcon. Think of the implications it would have to battle against the Darkspawn in general.
Of course, it could also have some interesting results, such as finding a diplomatic solution with the few Darkspawn intelligent enough to see that the tables might have turned.

I think the issue with tainted darkspawn blood can be dealt with easily enough. Our PC and companions in all three games have fought darkspawn many times and have been completely showered in their blood during the course of battles. It's only when the narrative of the game calls for it, does any character actually become poisoned. Add to that all the antics and ancient magics employed by the likes of Cory and Solas, I don't think its beyond the realm of feasibility that you would have an Awakened darkspawn either unearthing a protective artifact (like Hanako Ikezawa mentioned) or if you have such a character controlling their taint in such a way as to render it selectively inert to those it considers allies. After all the Corruption is form of magic in its own right, and one we all still know very little about. Being able to utilize some aspect of it so as to avoid tainting the land or nearby allies wouldn't be anything impossible. Indeed, I would propose that an Awakened, given enough time and discipline, might actually have more control over the Taint than Cory ever could. He was just a magister corrupted by it, while an Awakened was born of the corruption.

I like this idea of an Awakened being a party member, can give such a unique insight to the taint, the biggest problem I remember from Awakening though was just being near the Awakened was enough so sicken people after a while, but the notion of enchanted attire is a good one, how ironic would it be if it had to be made from Red Lyrium, two tainted things effectively rendering the other inert.
Just my thoughts.

Now Calpernia, that was someone who really wanted to change things from the current status quo. She just hitched her wagon to the wrong person initially. She wanted a genuine meritocracy, where the truly gifted rise to the top regardless of their birth/race/status in life. If she survived, and there is good reason to think she did from WoT2, then she would make for a very interesting companion, or else someone with a similar viewpoint. Not to hijack your comment but I agree with you, and one of the things I find most interesting about Calpernia is how incredibly nuanced she is for such a relatively minor character and an optional antagonist at that. Her views could easily lean towards mage supremacy (and they certainly lean towards Tevinter supremacy, esp. with comments regarding Tevinter being a beacon for all vs. "the savage Qunari"), but this extremism is tempered by her compassion towards slaves and her feelings for Marius. A bit like the contrast between Anders with his clinic and kittens and Anders who blows up the Chantry. Only... with less possession. Which in a way makes her even more intriguing. Calpernia hits that sweet spot between Dorian/Maevaris and Fenris, someone who has great magical power, who was a slave, who doesn't want to watch Tevinter burn but also doesn't support the status quo and might not settle for Lucerni-style reforms (whatever those may be). "You have no idea what I am. You have never looked down long enough to see what was waiting beneath you. But when the Venatori rise, when a new god burns the Imperium’s corruption to dust, the slaves of Tevinter will walk free in the light. I will see it done!"Hnnng. Everybody is focused on dwarf romances but we haven't gotten a proper Dalish or City Elf LI. (...) Merill was creepy and an outcast. I get you on the city elf angle (none of our city elf companions have indentified with alienage culture and I think that'd be interesting - Vaea, anyone?), but Merrill still identified VERY strongly as Dalish and I think she absolutely counts. Not that I'd be averse to a LI like Ariane (or Tamlen or...).

Not that I'd be averse to a LI like Ariane (or Tamlen or...). If Dragon Age 4 follows Inquisition's party make up (9 Companions, 3 of each class), I think the racial makeup will be:
-2 elves, male and female -2 dwarves, male and female -1 kossith Qunari, probably female
-four humans, 2 females and 2 males -at least one will be either an Abomination, full Spirit and/or Demon, and/or Titan touched Dwarf
Given this and all the major plots (Tevinter, the Qunari Invasion, Solas) I honestly feel our elven Companons will be:
-Viddithari double agent -Ancient Elf, either awoken servant of Solas or one of the Evanaris, or maybe even one of the Evenaris themselves.
This isn't necessarily what I would prefer, just what I think currently most likely.
