"Meet the companions" aka "which one of you will betray me" (squints) 😂

[lethos]

i hope if one of them betrays us, it is more akin to Morrigan's "betrayal" than Anders'

knowing my luck i will probably romance the one to do it without knowing

[sailorniburu]

My eyes are on Davrin with his handsome knightly features and cute animal companion, completely disarming and welcoming. 👀 Its too suspicious. I feel like I am being lured in! 👀

[HeroOfTime]

Idk, Bellara being “the face for an entire area of the world, ” all the triangles, the vallaslin, and the veil jumpers symbol being a halla head is sussing me out so hard 🥲

[PFiction]

They mentioned that they cut 2 companions, I’m guessing a great weapon fighter and a non duel wielding rouge.

[wargodmarrs]

I think the shadowy figure in Neve’s card relates to the Venatori. On a recent replay of Inquisition, I noticed that some Venatori communications were signed by a Magister Gallus in the Hissing Wastes (I think), and if I remember right, we never actually confront this Magister in the game. So it seems that she has a family member tangled up in the Venatori

[merleia]

There's wing-like details on Belara's vallasin, so maybe a region specific version of Dirth'amen?

As for romance, I was halfway through The Wigmaker Job when I said Lucanis better be a romancable companion or else. Never know, Darvin could steal me away, but I really like the way Lucanis thinks.

[ssshhauna]

I think Neve's detective angle is so cool, I hope they put that to use for some cool mystery quests or something

[NorthernLightst]

Taash = Patrick Weekes.
Bellara = John Epler.
Emmrich = Sylvia Feketekuty.
Lucanis = Mary Kirby though probably originally in the game by Courtney Woods who wrote him in Tevinter Nights.
Neve = Likely Brianne Battye who wrote her in Tevinter Nights.
Harding = Unknown.
Davrin = Unknown.
If I were to guess who wrote Harding and Davrin then I would guess Harding = Sheryl Chee (Has worked on her in the past and named her) and Davrin = John Dombrow (Guessing because he wrote Javik who was voiced by Davrin's voice actor Ike Amadi.

[sophiaboretskaya]

I can’t wait ❤ companions all sound so cool! The main question is: Grey Wardens or Shadow dragons as the first play through

[hannahhobnob]

Definitely romancing Lucanis as an Elven mage on my first playthrough, i think playing as an Elf will bring out more of the game with Solas and Elven gods being involved.

But i am very tempted to Romance Emmrich first, the amount of teasing his writers and animators have done makes me think hes going to be more than what he appears

[christophermino]

I am intrigued that so many people are already certain who their best friend or romance partner is going to be. While I have a favorite or two, I rather wait how they pan out before I mentally commit to something 😄

[.oIN]

can't wait to see them in game :D they all seem awesome (Asan especially)

btw, I hope you enjoyed the concert Jackdaw!

[kitaldridge]

Love that you had such a fun time at the concerts! Thanks for the great DA videos as always :)

[IvannoGianni]

Hate hate HATE that we can only choose 2 companions 😭

[RamenNumerals]

Can't wait to meet Emmerich. I have always wanted a Vincent Price Dad.

[highiqwarrior]

I never get tired of "taylor's version" 😁

[jungtothehuimang]

I feel like Neve will kind of fill the same roll that Cassandra filled in inquisition, but maybe not as much of a maker obsessed one

[Andrrrres]

Pretty sure I'll be romancing Davrin, but I'm stuck choosing between Lucanis and Emmrich for the other party slot. We'll have to see what the vibe is like. I can't wait!

[lewiswashington]

It'll be cool if the core leaders of the veil jumpers were actually ancient elves.
