Hi, just curious, might wanna follow BUT – can you please explain how you feel about all the companions from the Dragon Age games pls?

Hi anon! Ahahah that’s an interesting question. 

Before starting i have to mention i still have to play at da2, i know something about the plot and characters, but i won’t write about them. That’s mainly because there are some controversial ones which i will judge only after having actually played. 

Dragon Age Origins:

Alistair: he’s a sweetheart. I actually like him a lot because he’s the one who makes the bad jokes to keep high the morale even in the darkest times, even if he usually hides behind it when you ask about things he is shy about. He’s generous and loyal and a good friend for the Warden. And he tendentially never judges, despite being Chantry raised.

Morrigan: i like her a lot! She’s cool and very badass. I do not share her point of view on many things in the game (like how she scorns the Circle mages, how she disapproves everytime you go out of your way to help someone etc.) and i often think she’s a bit too egoistical and cold, but she’s subtle, sharp and has that sweet and romantic side that makes her a grey and well written character. I also loved her romance path, she's so sweet with the warden and i like how she gradually warms to him until she admits she's straight ot worried xD Also she grew a lot in Inquisition, the scene with Kieran and Flemeth is so touching. 

Leliana: i loved her in Origins, a bit less in Inquisition. Mainly because in Inquisition she’s fucking scaring and after having softened her in Origins i didn’t expect so much ruthlessness and detachment afterwards. It does make sense tho, after what happened to her. Anyway I’d say lovely in Origins, scary in Inquisition but always super cool. I also like her being so open minded and ready to look back on her views once proved wrong.

Zevran: I actually like everything about him and he’s super sweet.

Oghren: hhhhhhhhh my favourite drunkard what the hell

Wynne: she’s like the Warden’s granny. Always kind and ready to give advice. She can be a bit pressing on some things but all grannies are lol. I find her very wise and supportive, not to mention she’s so damn cool like an elderly woman protected by a spirit who just goes out to fight darkspawns.

Sten: i like him a lot and at the same time i am intimidated by the sheer righteousness he radiates. Anyway 10/10 would recruit him anytime

Shale: sass queen, another 10/10. We share the hatred for pigeons (but i wouldn’t ever harm one!!).

Dog: I mean it’s an affectionate mabari called Barkspawn by Alistair. It’s pure.

Dragon Age Inquisition:

Cassandra: One of my favourite companions, truly. Righteous and wanting to make things better, fearless, stubborn and impulsive. Also i love how she changed her mind about the Inquisitor. I played with a Dalish Inquisitor, and her nagging about the Herald, the Maker etc. was annoying at times, same with the usual mistrust of mages. That was expected tho, and she gained points when she says she will tell everyone about the cure for Tranquility after they’ll have found a safe method to achieve it.

Varric: he’s precious and a good dad for Cole

Solas: my favourite treacherous bald elf. I dunno, i think he’s a masochist idiot, superiority complex everywhere, the main cause for all the shit that actually happened, but he actually has so many good (and bad) qualities i love him to pieces *cries*

Dorian: my Inquisitor’s romance. He’s the ultimate perfection, my favourite character of all the three games.

Cole: he’s the human version of Dog. He’s just pure.

Sera: one of my faves but dear, it’s so hard to get on with her while playing with a Dalish mage! After What Pride had Wrought damn, i found the cutscene so cringy, like she just yells mean things and you can’t really argue back. Aside from that, she’s the sweetest bean. I also love how she grew up in Trespasser.

Vivienne: not one of my favourites, but mainly because i don’t agree with her point of view on many things. I think she’s a very cool and strong character, but i found little connection with her throughout the game.

Iron Bull: wet titty

Blackwall: I like him. Not one of the faves either, but he’s good hearted and wants to be better. A tiny bit too enthusiastic about the Wardens. A tiny bt creepy how he faked to be a dead man for years.

I hope i haven’t forgotten anyone! *sweats*
