I guess it depends on the location. If I'm playing a character set in some faraway land, I wouldn't want there to be a lot of callbacks with characters who don't really have a good reason to be there at the time. I don't really have anyone in particular in mind to that end. I just want an entirely new roster of companions, no more recycled characters like Varric. Much as I liked Varric in Inquisition, he will always be the D2 companion that I kind of borrowed in the sequel. It was sort of saved in the end with his dynamic with Cassandra, which I enjoyed quite a bit.

Varric was fine in DAI. Maybe he wasn´t really needed but you say the same thing about every other character besides Cassandra and Solas. But gameplaywise he was a welcome addition for gamers who played DA 2.
Varrics role in DAI was the same like Oghren and Anders before. He was the connection / bridge character between the previous DA and the current one. Scout Harding will likely fulfil the same function.
But Varric story should be done and characters like Dorian or Maevaris should only mention him.

Still i think its likely Varric will pop up in 4. And why? He was not that overused like Leliana but he was the start rogue companion for two games and its DLCs.
Its enough and he should stay in Kirkwall as Vicomte.

Please no more Varric. Didn’t like him in DA2, hated him in DAI, and suffered through him in the comics. Enough is enough.

the writers like him and since he is a writer himself it seems like he is the in universe chronicaller of these events that happen in each game. Don't expect a huge role but an extended cameo seems likely.

Don't expect a huge role but an extended cameo seems likely. Sorry but you don´t need Varric for that. Bioware can easily make a new character or use someone else.
Also why should the Vicomte of Kirkwall visit Tevinter at war?
I never ever will understand that hatred. He just fine. Thats nothing new. Hanako hates a lot of characters who didn´t do anything wrong. Maybe their crime could be that they a bit boring. For me is impossible to hate someone like Varric. And why should i hate him? That makes no sense.

i don’t want any of the Disney’s Dragon Age flavor that snuck into DAI to return.
Cameos also suck because they waste some of the preciously limited writing and VA budget for some boring and stilted moment that feels like a rehash. Only way I like it is like Hawke and the Warden in the Fade.
I never want to see Bianca, crossbow or dwarf, again.

Varric narrated the events of dao in the keep despite not being present for them. He can continue to narrate future games keep records without needing to be in them if they want that consistancy, or they could just have a different character narrate future events, it doesn't really matter.

Who I don't want to see?
Hm... Here are some main chars :
Inquisitor Cullen Josephine Blackwall Cole Bull Sera Vivienne Dorian
Frankly, the way I see it, DA4 will be very non traditional.

Actually, I believe DA4 will be an opportunity for Bio to re-invent Dragon Age for MP co-op play. I'm leaning towards a plug-in stand alone RPG story... maybe even a few of them, as I also believe it's a live service game. However, the core design will be MP co-op with the usual Raid features for big bad azz bosses.
Solas is the only re-occuring char that the studio needs to bring in. ... another Corepheus, if you will. This will close his arc. Any additional backstories will be in the Codex.

It was sort of saved in the end with his dynamic with Cassandra, which I enjoyed quite a bit. I hated those parts. Cassandra: I will arrest you Varric: Help me, Inquisitor Inquisitor: Don't arrest him, Cassandra Cassandra: OK. We went through that exact same scene somewhere like 5 times? I don't know. Maybe I'm exaggerating, but it was bad enough the first time, by the second it was insulting.

With the exception of Flemeth, Hawke, Dagna and comedy characters like Dulci anyone who's been in 2 or more of the previous games.
Varric Cassandra Leliana Morrigan Alistair TEEGAHN Cullen Anyone else I missed
We'll be getting a new protagonist and all the above characters do is provide an info dump based on the save I import.

Still i think its likely Varric will pop up in 4. Honestly as much as I love the character, I just can't see the narrative really justifying his reappearance in a convincing way unless the story somehow takes us to Kirkwall.

I think most here know by now, that I'm a Varric fangirl and am still miffy, that we didn't get a romance with him. But I agree, that there should mostly be a new cast and not recycling old characters (and yes, that includes my favorite dwarf). Maybe Dorian for the Tevinter story, but you could have another Tevinter fighting against the system as well, and Scout Harding, because she was well liked and many would like to see her as a full fledged companion and if Sten being the Arishok is canon, he might make an appearance - plus Solas of course - , but other than that, there is not really a need to bring old characters back. Certainly not overused characters like Morrigan, Leliana or Cullen. I would like to see a fresh cast and new interesting characters.

I agree that most characters who have been in 2 or more of the previous games shouldn´t return. But Anders / Justice and Isabela could be the interessing exceptions.

Yep you're right. Dulci was only in 1 game. And yes Isabella and Anders will be welcome. Maybe Anders dies and Justice grabs someone else.

Eh, just want them to leave Anders/Justice! Everyone has their own story about them, who want it. The others don't care. They can't bring back him properly.
I'm glad they didn't bring him back in DAI (there were early conceptions – fortunately, shot them down), I just want they would insist on this wise decision.
