If there is already a thread about companion speculation I I want to apologises but I couldn’t find anything via search bar and I would really like to discuss this pic since I assume at least most of them if not all are teased companions. (even quite certainly WIP) www.google.de/amp/s/gamerant.com/dragon-age-4-companions-davrin-grey-warden-bellara/amp/I know many already talk about the person on the far right being an executioner and I won’t argue with that, also that one is FINALLY a female Qunari companion. I want to lead the focus on the other characters. My speculation/idea is that the second person from the left with the rogue armor, the bald head and human ears is the “teased” grey warden Davrin who obviously would be most certainly be a black human male. Which leads to assume he will be a warrior type of class. Then there is the person with the female shape and the rifle/crossbow (the first right from the middle) I think this is Vaea, a female elf. I didn’t read any comics but she seems to be an important character after the inquisition timeline, she also has pictures with a very similar hooded cape and I think a sort of rifle character and female elf with long black hair seems refreshing new. What class she could be is maybe some rogue warrior type of class? But I very certain that person is a female and quite certain it’s an elf. The last person is the also “teased” Bellara. Bellara also sounds elven to me but could obviously be a human or maybe the first half elf companion? Her accent (as already mentioned in an article) is too “american” to be from countries like Ferelden, Orlais, Nevarra or Antiva. I assume she will be from either Anderfels, Free Marches or Tevinter. She also could be the female Qunari cause of her more husky voice and mentioning rumble (which I think fits quite well to Qunari). But if it’s not the female Qunari I could see Bellara being the far left person withe the obvious quite sensual female shape. - which kinda looks elven to me but maybe I am wrong. But she obviously be a mage. The other remaining silhouettes seems to be male characters, the smaller one being quite certainly a tevinter mage. The taller one leaves me big questions. I this is a true companion teaser I personally am very happy about the female Qunari, the elven rifle rogue character and the sensual female mage character (subjectively as a straight male I really hope all will be romance-able ^^). Other type of companions I personally also would (have) like(ed) to see are: - a werewolf/shapeshifter character - a female dwarven companion (yes I think Sigrun was really damn cool) - maybe a new race introduced (some years ago I saw a concept pic of some lizardmen which would be also very refreshing and quite cool to see in my opinion but not of big importance - would just be very nice to see in my opinion) I so hope we will get more input and maybe some sort of trailer this summer. Thoughts? Opinions? Something you agree or disagree on or just want to add? I would love to read other (maybe way more in depth thoughts than mine ^^)

I want to lead the focus on the other characters. Well i don´t believe that skull guy is an executioner. Looks more some from the Mortalitasi.
By the way who said that Davrin and Bellara are companions? They could be some (un)important NPCs. Also who knows if this art is still relevant? But to be fair i still think that there is no way that the female Qunari and Skull guy aren´ t the DA 4 party. They are too distinctive to cut. Why not rogue? After two grey warden warriors (Alistair and fake Blackwall) i don´t think they repeat the grey warden warrior type. You want Lace Harding.
Last but not least i think that Calpernia and particularly Maevaris as first transgender companion in a Bioware game have pretty good chances.

It's important to remember that the early concept art we saw was just that... concept art. BW pointed out they were spitballing ideas to evoke a feeling. I mean, they had an Assassin's Creed character in there. And several early ideas they've already discarded, others changed, and so on. That said, there are a few which seem like strong candidates. 1. Harding. Mike Laidlaw said if there was one character he could bring over from DA:I to DA4, it'd be her. 2. Calpernia. It feels like she's being positioned for some role in DA4, whether companion or not. She appears in the concept art and personally, I'm thinking companion. And the BW devs liking her is the cherry on top. 3. Female Qunari. Pretty much a lock as they've hinted at this a number of times. My guess - Rasaan. She seems to be positioned for that role in Tevinter Nights. 4. Varric. Whether a companion or not, he'll be in it. 5. Dorian. Not a companion, but he'll be in it. 6. Maevaris. Should be in it, hard to say in what role though. 7. Grey Warden Davrin. Not sure if he's a companion or not though. 8. "Bellara". Like Davrin, we don't know her role, only that she's in it. 9. Isabella. Hinted at in the concept art, but almost certainly in an NPC role if she does appear. 10. Charter. Possibly... She was being positioned to replace Leliana as spymaster and she's already involved in the Solas plot.

I speculate that there will be a dodgy apostate. In a Dragon Age game? Surely you jest. Next you’ll suggest there’ll be at least one companion hiding their dark and troubled past.

Heresy. Nothing will beat the daddy issues simulator also called "Mass Effect 2" -- Beyond that, besides the "dodgy aposte", we will have a "I distrust(TM) mages" warrior and the "everything but circle magic education=shit" mage. Oh, and an unromanceable dwarf.

You don´t think that the Mortalitasi is a safe guess beside the Female Qunari? Unfortunately because the trailer he has to appear in DA 4. Don´t get me wrong i say this as a big Varric fan but i wish that he sits this one out. But like Dorian (unlike Varric i hope & expect that he is in the game) there is a tiny chance that he isn´t. Remember how we all expected after DA 2 that Bodahn and Sandal are in DAI? She is a romance option so you can drop the almost.

My current guesses based on the concept art (particurly the stuff shared on twitter and with the short stories), and the short stories on the DA day website and in the book Tevinter Nights: 1. Antivan Crow:- Lucanis? Masked lady? The Wake art:
Masked Crow from BTS: Trailer The Next One art: Won't Know When art: 3. Venatori Hunter: - eg. like Viper and/or a Justicar (mages who take over investigating unlawful magic/mages from Tevinter Templars in special cases), or Neve Gallus the Laetan PI, or a siccari etc Edit: as in someone who hunts venatori, not a venatori who hunts >.<
Shadows of Minrathous short story art
4. Veilfire Archer: - unknown faction (gold armour, red caped. Bare feet = elves? Ancient elves? Upside down triangle w/ waves = Executors?)
Ruins of Reality short story art: BTS magic archer From the trailer 5. Mourn Watcher of the Mortalitasi, or a Greater Dead (a complex spirit in the corpse of a Nevarren), or both. (In the form of a Mourn Watcher w/ a Bonded Greater Dead as a "pet" mechanic, or as 2 companions) The Flame eternal short story art Disection from BTS 6. Lord of Fortune:- adventurers and treasure hunters from Tevinter Nights book Maybe lord of fortune from BTS 7. Dwarf:- A guess, we've never gone dwarfless, so if the Warden or LoF aren't a dwarf then I reckon we'll get one from somewhere else. If we're lucky they'll be from Kal Sharok. Bellara from BTS? Or Scout Harding instead? 8. Female Vashoth/qunari: - more speculative then the others since we haven't seen more of her since the bts trailer as opposed to the more recent concept art and short stories. I hope for Tal Vashoth BTS: 9. Wild Card: - If 5 isn’t two companions then.. Tevinter native? Seheren Fog Warrior?

I don't know half the people that are talked about as companions as I have not read or seen any of these comics or books and such. Guess I shall be surprised.

You don´t think that the Mortalitasi is a safe guess beside the Female Qunari? I think the Mortalitasi is also a safe bet, but I was only listing people I could attach a name to. I think the popular Crow Girl (Teia?) would be another safe bet.

I speculate that there will be a dodgy apostate. It would go with dodgy mage since up in Tevinter I don't think there is such a thing as an apostate. Having been burned by Solas I am definitely far less eager automatically to embrace the elven companion either. To be honest, I think I'm simply going to be paranoid about everyone. Trust no one seems a good maxim to go by.

I do wonder if they put out the concept art specifically to see which ones people responded positively to the most and that helped them decide on who made the final cut. Ditto Tevinter Nights as some of the characters who featured there certainly gave me the sense they were being set up for inclusion in the next game, whether as companions or major NPC contacts.

oh wow i am surprised and also really happy about the active reaction on that topic. really didn't expected that - especially that quickly i can't respond to everything but i want to respond to some things. so the concept art is already out of date and doesn't mean much anymore - okay, understood. About some characters: Harding - didn't think of her but yes she is cute and i think she could be a nice addition but she should evolve into a more interesting/badass character if so. Female Qunari - was a big wish of mine since DA2. i hope she will be interesting, sexy and badass (and harder to get to know - more like Sten and less like Iron Bull) Female Crow Teia - sounds really interesting i really much like the idea especially since i would personally like to see at least a bit of Antiva (at least in some DLC) and also since we will be more or less certainly see Zevran at least in some cameo like maybe Varric. Varric - i also like Varric but i also really think we had enough of him. make him narrator for loading screens? maybe why not - or some cameo or some npc you meet like morrigan in DAI but nothing more please. especially no companion cause he would steal the place of an interesting new contender. Calpernia - i knew Krem is transgender but i didn't know Calepernia is. I don't mind the idea seeing her again but somehow (i don't know why) i have no problems seeing Krem as transgender but i do seeing Calpernia as such. maybe i need time to get used to it. But she could be fill out a great adviser slot. Magic Archer - yes saw some other art of this guy (or class) too and i like this idea of such a companion and also archer class. Mortalitasi - a deathmage/necromancer would be bloody awesome. highly like that idea of a companion. Venatori Hunter - this shouldn't be a class and i personally would like to know first more about this character but in general why not a guy who hunts mages sounds interesting could give great bannters. Bellara/Darvin - i agree that they also could be "just" NPCs. i also agree and like the idea of seeing a Grey Warden Rogue as a companion. and Bellara could also be a dwarf - good points. Vaea - i still am a strongly supporter of seeing her as a companion and i think she would be also a really great addition. conclusion: i personally think (and also kind of want) those types as companions now: a necromancer, a grey warden (rogue), a member of the crow (masked female), a magic archer, vaea and definitely a female qunari. this would make 6 characters and still at least 3 to go (normally we have 9 companions or am i wrong?) i like the idea of seeing old characters from previous games but i normally don't like seeing them filling slots of new companions - especially when they were part of the previous companions. thats my personal summary so far reading all your comments. i stil hope we get some more offical details/reveals this summer. edit: isabella will be romancable? does this mean she will be close to the protagonist as Cullen or even maybe more? or maybe important to the main quest? i really liked her but i think they could have done more with her already in DA2.

I haven't read the comics to speculate, but I'm sure there will be a Qunari warrior and a Tevinter Mage, both of whom you're going to want to drag around at the same time for party diversity. The happy Anders Fenris reunion mechanic where you hear those two at each others throats to no end.

i knew Krem is transgender but i didn't know Calepernia is. I don't think Cuthbertbucket intended their comment to be interpreted that way. Calpernia is a particular favourite of theirs for inclusion, which is why she is twinned with Maevaris but the latter is the only transgender character we have previously encountered who is likely to be up in Tevinter. Of course, they could introduce someone as a transgender companion in addition to Maevaris as a major NPC but we shall have to wait and see. Female Qunari - was a big wish of mine since DA2. i hope she will be interesting, sexy and badass (and harder to get to know - more like Sten and less like Iron Bull) If Rasaan is the female Qunari then she will definitely be more like Sten than Iron Bull. Have you read either David Gaider's comic series where she features in Those Who Speak, WoT2 or Tevinter Nights? Rasaan features in all of these and comes across as a formidable lady. WoT2 also suggested we are likely to see more of her in the future, so even if she isn't a companion, we are going to encounter her. I'm hoping she is the qunari lady companion because her background as Ariqun in waiting, so a high level priestess of the Qun, would likely result in some fascinating insights into Qunari history, with which she must be familiar, if we can just persuade her to open up to us. Otherwise, I would rather the qunari lady was a proper Vashoth who has never lived in the Qun, as that could also allow for an interesting backstory totally different from any of her race we have met up to now. It has just occurred to me that perhaps she could be our Fog Warrior, her parent(s) having escaped the Qun on Seheron and then joined up with them.

Who can they possible be surprised? This is like finally seen and having a female turian as a companion in Andromeda. Of course people were excited about a female qunari companion. Its something we haven´t seen in any Dragon Age game.
You can make the same argument about a female dwarf. We only had Sigrun and this was just for an Addon.

Harding - didn't think of her but yes she is cute and i think she could be a nice addition but she should evolve into a more interesting/badass character if so. If you can make DAO Merrill into a companion you can make everyone into an interessing character. Calpernia isn´t transgender but Maevaris is.
First Bioware likes and second Calpernia would be as a former villian & slave a very interessing companion for the DA 4 party. I would argue that Bioware prefers this time more to promote secondary NPC characters (DAO: Merrill & Isabela and DA 2: Cassandra) than bringing old companions back. Of course there is Varric again but lets hope that he isn´t returning as a companion again and again. My guesses for this are no surprising Lace Harding and Calpernia. No Isabela is already in DA 2 a romance so she won´t be one in DA 4 again if she return.

No I didn’t read comics but I will definitely look Rasaan up and maybe also read her comics. Sounds like a really cool character. Thanks for suggestion. About Calpernia I agree she could be an interesting character. Totally forgot she was a slave but true could be even more interesting like that I support that idea and yeah I already was a bit irritated to read she is transgender and I thought I missed something. Thanks for the clarification. Didn’t had Krem an interesting Tevinter background too? Something with losing his parents or something. Damn I really I need to read their bios again it seems to not annoy you guys with my lack of knowledge x)

Harding - didn't think of her but yes she is cute and i think she could be a nice addition but she should evolve into a more interesting/badass character if so. If you can make DAO Merrill into a companion you can make everyone into an interessing character. Calpernia isn´t transgender but Maevaris is.
First Bioware likes and second Calpernia would be as a former villian & slave a very interessing companion for the DA 4 party. I would argue that Bioware prefers this time more to promote secondary NPC characters (DAO: Merrill & Isabela and DA 2: Cassandra) than bringing old companions back. Of course there is Varric again but lets hope that he isn´t returning as a companion again and again. My guesses for this are no surprising Lace Harding and Calpernia. No Isabela is already in DA 2 a romance so she won´t be one in DA 4 again if she return.
Thanks again about the clarification regarding Calpernia and Maevaris (will Maevaris be an important character I assume she is also from Tevinter? I guess I should read her wiki x)) Haha Merrill true. Why did I forget her I am sorry. She was so cute and my Hawk really tried to protect her from any harm. I think Harding would be tougher and less naive than Merrill I am quite certain lol The question about romancable Isabella was cause I read somewhere that someone here said she will be in DA4 and also romanceable but quite certainly not a companion (I think this was a comment on he discussion about the pic where Dorian and Isabella are underwater) that’s all. If she isn’t in DA4 or doesn’t have a big role I am not really mad at all even I think she has big potential.

Didn’t had Krem an interesting Tevinter background too? Something with losing his parents or something. Damn I really I need to read their bios again it seems to not annoy you guys with my lack of knowledge x) Krem is from Tevinter. His father was a Soporati tailor, who was undercut by a Magister using slave labour so went out of business and had to sell himself into slavery to survive. I think that is not uncommon in Tevinter. People also sell their children to survive, or to avoid the child starving I should imagine. Tallis was a child whose parents sold her into slavery to pay off their debts. It is possible that is what happened with Calpernia; I'm not sure if her short story said if she was born into slavery or sold into it as an infant. We are unlikely to see Krem in Tevinter though because of him having been escaping arrest when crossing paths with the Iron Bull on the border. Also, since it is possible that the Chargers are all dead in some play throughs, I don't think we are likely to see them outside Tevinter either. If she isn’t in DA4 or doesn’t have a big role I am not really mad at all even I think she has big potential. I don't recall anyone seriously suggesting that Isabella will be a romance if she were to appear. However, we have speculated that our base could be a ship next game, in which case it might well be captained by Isabella. That would also tie in with the underwater concept art.

Also, since it is possible that the Chargers are all dead in some play throughs, I don't think we are likely to see them outside Tevinter either. Well there is always the option that Krem could survive somehow but i think that´s highly unlikely. First it would ruin the decision plus Bulls character and second it would hard to explain how Krem could survive the Venatori attack and stay in the shadows after so many years so no. And to be honest Krem besides been transgender isn´t that interessing for doing that. I won´t mind to see her back. Yes technical she has been in three games before. One more than Varric but unlike she is only in DA 2 a major character. In DAO she is pretty minor but memorable character and DAI she only in its Multiplayer which in my opinion doesn´t count. If the female Qunari is really Rasaan it could be very interessing to have both of them around.
Also won´t mind to have a grown-up Bevin if DA 4 needs some DAO love.

If the female Qunari is really Rasaan it could be very interessing to have both of them around. Yes, that thought occurred to me too and seemed a reason why they might decide to have them both in game for the potential ramifications of them crossing paths again. The interaction between Rasaan and Isabella was one of the more interesting parts of that comic series, although I found it disappointing how Isabella constantly overcomes various people she encounters, even though they seem to have the better of the fight, and the way she defeats Rasaan most of all. It has occurred to me that the lady on the far right of the concept art shown above is attired as a Qunari, which would be unlikely if she was a Vashoth. Also, looking back at the comic artwork, Rasaan does remind me a lot of that lady; something about the design of the horns and the way she has that stray lock of hair that flows over her right hand horn. Still, even if she isn't a companion, I'm sure we are going to encounter Rasaan because, from Tevinter Nights, it is clear she is leading the Qunari hunt for Solas and finding a way to defeat him. If we do, I hope we are going to be able to persuade her to share not just information gained about him but the whole history of the Qunari. Once again looking back at the comic, I am struck by the fact that Arishok Sten tells Alistair that the Tome of Koslun has information about the Old Gods and their worship, specifically stating that they are as far above ordinary dragons as the ancient human kings were to ordinary men. This is clearly not something made up since the Qunari came to Par Vollen and suggests that Koslun at least was around in ancient times to witness these things first hand. Was he part of that early Kossith band of settlers who set themselves up in southern Ferelden? Or did his familiarity with the nature of the Old Gods point to him being around even earlier than that? Then there is Rasaan's obsession with names. She was determined to discover Isabella's original name and this is also true of Solas. We know, from Abelas, that the ancient elves did change their names on changing their role in society, just as the Qunari do. That surely isn't mere coincidence.
