DA 4 Companion Speculation Thread (time for the new Scribbles and DHMG!)

Bioware is going the ME2 route, where Rule of Cool/Sexy take over instead of lore and logic.

I mean, between Varric and Isabela, I think the ship sailed a long time ago. That said, I’ll wait to see if there’s some explanation for Crow Lady.

"Mask of Night Vision-ness +3"

Perhaps, though they never had anything that hampered them as fighters (other than lack of armor, but Varric can rectify this in DAI) unlike in this if the concept art goes to the final game. Then it’s like ME2 where “Sure I can have a gunfight in the middle of a vacuum while being topless because cool”.

A couple were. The rest were awful.

Wrong hair and skin color to be Teia.

My post was just meant to say that BioWare going for the rule of cool already happened. I like both Varric and Isabela quite a lot.
Hanako Ikezawa : their outfits are still not practical for combat. Putting them aside, DA2 introduced half naked qunari as well. Even if those aren’t impairing as her mask, and Varric and a Bull can wear more practical outfits and armours, BioWare still went for something that looked cooler or sexier in past games, above lore reasoning. I do agree that Lady Crow’s mask is worse in the sense that it’d be blocking her sight, so it’d harder to put aside compared to the things I mentioned.
If there won’t be some explanation for how she can see (if she’s in the game) I’m going to point it it out, but I still want to wait and see if there’s one. 

This makes me hope for multiple specializations for companions. DAI felt too restricted.

And there's nothing wrong with that. 

I think not wearing a helmet in space is ridiculous and only happened due to the rush that was Andromeda

I think wearing a bikini suit in a cold area that literally has a mechanic where it's so cold you'll die is stupid and all companions should have gotten real all terrain suits like the protagonist.

I like calling the veilfire head Bael. At least it sounds like a name.
