Thank you.
Interesting certainly ... but maybe that dont mean they will all die, maybe that only mean that after Act1 everyone will go follow their own goals, and you will have to decide wich one you wish to join. O_o
So ...
If i commit, as Larian say ... for example to help Astarion kill Cazador ...
It kinda makes sence that Wyll, Gale, Shadow, Lae'zel and others ... will have no interest to help us, since they all have their own, much more pressing matters to solve and the only thing that was holding us all together is gone.
I presume, we will still meeting the others when their stories will cross.
True, it kinda diminishing the Custom character involvement, since we will still be only able to see Origin character stories ... but personaly i would probably appreciate it.
I allways said that Dragon Age: Origins would be a much better game (for me at least) if you were presented with 4 unique stories, of 4 unique adventurers (Dwarf, Elf, Human and Mage) ... wich will all started somewhere else, all get through different stories ... and all connect in the end.
It was kinda disapointing for me that after first half-hour that perfect story with different cultures, or social strata(?) ... become just generic "Destroy evil army" thing.
I just like campaigns to be more complex, as it was in old Heroes of Might and Magic (3 or 4 i believe?), where you simply covered "their" part of whole story of each race, and when you played throug them all, final battle where they all were together was unlocked.
//Edit:
Maybe ... just maybe ... that would also be the point, where you unlock companions that are not Origin characters as Halsin, or Minthara.
After all, they (at leat right now) dont seem to have anything presing on their hands, so ...
Not sure if i make any sence right now.
- I presume that our Tadpolisation will be resolved by the end of Act 1 ...
- I presume once this problem will be solved, all our companions will head their own way (Kill Cazador, solve Magical abyss in chest, deliver Githyanki toy, go search for Mind Flayer head to cut off, find and resolve fiend contract, go get some revenge, etc. etc.)
- I presume in that same situation, our non-tadpoled companions (so far Halsin and Minthara) have their work done. Shadowcurse will be probably resolved somehow meanwhile or by resolving the Absolute ... and there will be no Absolute to serve.
All im saing is i would no be so sceptic, so far Larian manage to create incredible and quite complex story!
//another Edit:
Also, some companions are standing against each other ...
Perfect example is Shadow and Lae'zel ...
It was datamined that there is suppose some battle to happen, with INCREDIBLY hard persuation roll, that anyway still can be sucesfull (yay savescuming :P ) it would make perfect sence if they will be put against each other in later Acts ...
Either when Lae'zel get mission to bring back that box ... or when Shadow will delivering the box, and meet Lae'zel that was was given the mission to bring it back.
I would just love such situations. :3
Another one i can think off ...
Is Wyll vs. Astarion:
Once again, it was datamined that marks on Astarion's back is some kind of contract between Cazador and some Fiend ... how about if that Fiend is Mizora ... and how about if the only way Wyll could be finaly free would be all Cazador's spawns (aka. every part of the contract) need to be destroyed? :P
Cant figure anything for Gale sadly ... yet.
