Bioware and most people disagree with you. I'm going to side with the creators over you. Well shocker but you canΒ΄t ignore the fact that DAI party members have more to do them the advisors. I agree that the Skyhold or Winter Palace content is equal but unlike the companions you canΒ΄t bring them on missions. Same goes for Mass Effect with maybe the exception of Steve who a lot to do more as a shuttle pilot than Samantha. But i donΒ΄t think that he as equal screentime with Garrus for example.
Like i said maybe we can romance our merchant and / or runecrafter this time.
Noone got as much screen time as garrus nor should they have. For Garrus is the greatest squadmate of mass effect or any other series!

And speaking of Garrus i still hope even as a huge Varric Fan that Bioware donΒ΄t see Varric as Dragon AgeΒ΄s Garrus.
A third in a row would be a wasted rogue slot and i say this as a Varric fan!!!

It may very well be an unfounded fear; I certainly have not seen any such complaints either. But the fear itself is real. I recall the devs for a different RPG, Expeditions: Viking, were asked why the shieldmaiden companion was a straight-only romance, and they answered that they didn't want to give in to the stereotype of the tomboy being into other women. It wouldn't surprise me if there was similar thinking at Bioware, although strangely they do not seem to mind other such stereotypesβlike the aforementioned promiscuous bisexual, or the sassy, dapper gay man (Dorian). It sounds like a case where they're not really listening to their audience. Which I think is doubly ironic since usually when I do see straight men talking about Cassandra's romance, they're complaining.
But for the more general companion discussion, I'm hoping somewhat more for her to not be Qunari in the religious sense, or at least for it to be something you can affect. I couldn't see having a companion in a religious mindset that restrictive and keeping them in the party without trying to talk them out of it somehow. Particularly since I often play mage, and I'd think Qunari beliefs about that would be a dealbreaker for most mages, long-term. (My Vashoth mage seriously considered not recruiting Iron Bull at all.) I also think it'd be a neat contrast to have a non-believing qunari companion as well as a religious Qunari from one of the other races (human or elf, maybe).
Sure, but there is precedent for a loyal Qun-following companion in Sten from Origins. Not that this qunari companion will definitely be a loyal Qunari, but it wouldn't be impossible.
I don't know what I'm hoping for in terms of her opinion on the Qun. I'd hope they'd make her distinct from Sten and The Iron Bull in some way, even besides her being a woman.

DonΒ΄t forget Tallis as an elven qunari. I think that the previous games have show enough from the loyal qun point of view so only an Anti Qun is needed. Maybe this female qunari is even a fog warrior but i hope that we will have a seperate one. Also i am not sure what races of the fog warriors are. Human, elves, dwarf, qunari or mixed?

Like I've said before, I think the best compromise would be to have one Kossith female Tal-Vashoth, and Tallis or Gatt as the Qunari loyal Companion. Preferably Tallis, since she could get some actual development, and the horned lady could use all the anti-Qun arguments we were never allowed to.

I know its weird but I've been wanting this for a while. And I want it for every race and gender Same, I've been waiting for that for *counts on hands*, 3...5... no wait, 12 years! "Bah, foolish Humans, If I dislike you I would break you in half and if I like you I would break you in half." Work on your core and there wont be any sexy-time-induced breakage. I recommend heavy deadlifts and paused front squats.

Am i the only one who is more interested in the female Qunari backstory and finally having one in the party after 3 Main Games, one Addon and several DLCs than her personal sex life?  I just hope that she is a true Tal-Vashoth. I donΒ΄t see the need for another Qunari companion after Sten, Tallis and yes even The Iron Bull. ^ I want her to be tal Vashoth a lot more than i want her to be romancable. The parts of qunari culture that we have the least experience with and that I'd be most interested in seeing also involve qunari who don't fight and therefore wouldn't be companions. Sten, Tallis, the Iron Bull, gatt, and the ex-arishok have already given me perspectives on how warriors and ben hassrath feel. Until bioware are ready to let me go to par vollen and speak to people who aren't warriors or spies (or let me play a qunari origin/background), i'd rather dig into the unexplored perspective of the tal Vashoth. |

If we get her as a romance I do hope she's a Tal-Vashoth. If the Qun doesn't typically have romance and she's a typical loyal Qunari I would prefer she wasn't romancable. Outside of Sten a lot of the Qunari with much screen time seem to be a little too flexible in their following of the Qun.
A tal-vashoth on the other hand, or even a vashoth would be a pretty cool romance. Although The Iron Bull may steal their thunder a little.

I'm not getting my hopes up for specific romances this time around. I'll inevitably be disappointed when the character turns out to be straight, given I prefer m/m and f/f romances. 
After Jack, Cassandra, and Cora, I'm starting to think "woman who isn't traditionally feminine and strongly appeals to WLW is a straight-only romance" is some kind of Bioware running gag. (Though I might be wrong on what people think of Cora; I didn't hear a lot of specific opinions on MEA beyond the general negativity.) Either way, I really hope that they stop.
Having romanced all three of those ladies (and wanted to romance Aveline as well...DAMN YOU BIOWARE!!!) I say keep the strong tomboy's comin'! Not all of us straight guys have the same taste in women ya know. ;P I'm still jealous y'all got Sera...and my canon Qunari quizzy is STILL undecided because of that. M!Adaar w/Cass or F!Adaar w/Sera.... Also yes, I too hope that Big Qunari Woman is romanceable.
