Awesome Sauce!!
can leliana be part of the special characters at some point, imagining having her running a spy network and taking to the field leadign the most brutal combat ready, versatile ranged units ever seen. prone to dread and master of assassins.
or alternatively the soft spy intelligence gathering type preferring winning combat without having to fight or jsut fight as few as possible taking cities that are undefended based on good intel showing mercy to the conquered population gaining chivalry as a noble classical orlesian.
read through the army lists and the dwarves getting golems is a dream coming through!
i know you stated you had something special in mind for the game characters at some point.
would you be able to put an expanded list out at some point and will you listen to wishes for such a list, i have a thing for a certain pirate queen without a ship, i have an idea about making her a merc who would cost exactly the amount for the best ship that can be bought in the game:D
Parts of this question and the above one are answered by the new FAQ section in the main description. Some of the companions or supporting the characters from the DA games may not be present, for example, we'd have no idea how to fit Shale, Wynne, or Iron Bull in. We'll probably do something with Isabella, but implementing non-important supporting characters is low on the list of priorities at the moment.
its true that lesser characters are details when it comes to the world and strategy so they will be secondary in priority which makes sense.
as for ideas to use wynne, i would say a garrison general at the region controlling the cicrle of magi near lake callenhad could have a chance at getting her as ancillery. giving plus to hit points, increase virility for general and act as a magical surgeon for the army.
iron bull is difficult because of his split loyalties, so giving him to a faction from the start... maybe a merc with a low loyalty / high risk of deserting, if those mechanics can be made to work that way for specific units.
shale could be a wandering independent looking for pigeons and dark spawn nests:D
Divine Leliana ftw!
