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

I think I'd be inclined to agree with you if it didn't have such a prominent ending shot in that teaser video.  If it was just one of many concept art pieces while talking about companions then, sure, it would feel more like a generic, "What about a line up like this?" pic.  I might be wrong, but I tend to think that this is the line up.  There will probably be styling changes to the characters.  And we might even see one or two swapped out at the last minute for a different character.  But I'm leaning towards thinking that this is the general lineup of characters.  I do think that it has a very Dragon Age feel to it.  Or, at least, a very Bioware feel to it (the lady with the gun is giving quarian vibes).  

Also, someone pointed out that the dwarven archer that looks like Harding is holding a crossbow.  The "gun" could also be a crossbow at a side angle.  And that character is much shorter than the human woman beside her.  I'm not sure that she's dwarf-height.  But she's definitely shorter.  Might that character be our dwarven archer, just with a shapeless cloak/hood?

The other thing that I'm curious about is that, if you look at all of the concept art together, there's a ton of mages.  That makes sense since it's Tevinter and all.  But it seems disproportionately skewed to mages.  In the "8 hero" shot, there's the sexy lady on the left, the tall blonde human woman, the hooded elf guy, the tall bare armed guy, and the skull-face necromancer guy that all could be mages.  That's five out of 8 that could be mages in that shot alone.  Granted some of them could be other classes (the sexy lady could be a rogue; the hooded elf could be a Crow; the bare armed guy could be a warrior).  And there are a ton of other mages as well:  the Calpernia looking lady; the elf battlemage; Dorian (or the Dorian look alike, depending on who you ask).  Some of them might line up; some of them might not.  

It's a puzzler.  But the good kind of puzzling.  Loving all of the speculation in this thread!  And I'm glad it's focusing more on what people think and less on why other people are wrong.
