I think it has to be Oghren in Awakening. I didn't use him at all in Origins, and when we meet him in Awakening we're supposed to find a long lost friend we've been missing? It kind of annoyed me, and moreso when I realized I was stuck with him. I did Blackmarsh last, and so my rogue elf was forced to use Oghren as a tank for most of the game until Justice showed up.
I think the only reason my new guy is a tank is so I won't have to use Alistair (wimp!) and Oghren

Least favourite? Oghren, by far. I always thought Felsi must have a couple of screws loose in various places for even considering falling for him. Seriously: rump-roast??? You've got to be kidding me. 

And then the voice - maybe I'm just too British, but his sounding like what he is (fat, drunk and horny) combined with that dreadful accent grates on my nerves. Even though the voice acting itself  IS good - there's no denying that.  

Second place goes to Wynne. I actually liked her at first, but her condescending attitude got on my nerves pretty quickly. Keep your nose out of my affairs, or I'll CHOP IT OFF!!

Feel better now 

Something against american accents..?

Anyways, I can't stand his voice either. It's not the accent, obviously, it's the.. roughness? the horrid.. scratchiness.. or whatever it is? It's like scraping my eardrums with sandpaper. It sounds like he smokes 12 packs a day.

The same voice actor does Gorim and it's so much easier on the ears.

Not in general, just this particular one. Didn't mean to offend anyone - my meaning was just that it sounds even more strange to me than it probably does to people from the US. Don't worry, I'd be just as irritated if Oghren started talking pure cockney. 

Oghren's voice + cockneyfied = my head done in. Seriously. 

[Michael177]

No way Oghren = awesome.....

[shedevil3001]

poor oghren, i thought he was ok a bit obnoxious but in a funny sort of way

Not remotely offended.

It's his tone, the intentional scratchiness to it that gets me. It's like, "Goodness man, get a throat transplant!"

[smore006]

In Origins - Sten (i don't know why, really)

in Awakening - Oghren, by far. Second and third candidates: Oghren and Oghren. I don't find him even remotely funny nor cool, even though it seems the devs intended him to be.

[Desyndra]

Oghren.

I've never appreciated drunkards throwing around lecherous remarks. He was tolerable, and even funny sometimes in Origins, but he was barely sober in Awakening.

[Nobody Important]

Only hated Leliana and Alistair(executing him a lot lately.) loved all the other characters though especially Loghain, Nathaniel, and Morrigan.

I'm not a big Oghren fan, but his accent can be as american as he likes. Anything to avoid another dwarf speaking scottish really.

Oghren can be as American as he pleases as far as I'm concerned. Anything to avoid another dwarf speaking Scottish really.

Wynne is my least favorite character by far.



In Awakenings Oghren in my second least favorite, while Velanna is at the bottom of the list, I really really don't like that Character.

[AliceTheGiraffe]

I tend to dislike female characters because I do not like (*most of the time*) how women are portrayed in video games.

My least favorite character is Morrigan.

Edit: I love Wynne. She's a strong woman with a little spark. Reminds me of my grandmother.
Leliana is okay. I like how she has a bunch of layers and she's not all what she seems.

It's funny: some of the characters I really liked when I first started playing DA:O I find getting tedious and more and more unlikeable, and some of the characters I really disliked at first I find growing on me as I play along.

I really liked Wynne at first, and the PC I was playing at the time found in her a mother figure, but I find her incredibly tedious now.  Her lecturing about what it is to be a Grey Warden is rage-making, both because the available responses are so inadequate and because she clearly has a romanticized and idealized view of what the Grey Wardens are, and therefore doesn't know what the hell she's talking about.  When she objects to your romance, my PCs so want to tell her, "Lady, I'm going through my life sleepless, tainted, and sterile, only to end it under a rock in the Deep Roads (or worse, captured and made a broodmother, if female), all for the greater good, and you don't think I deserve a minute of happiness?"

Similarly, I really disliked Sten at first.  He seemed, as someone said above, a real wet blanket.  However, he's grown on me.  It helps to realize that he's extremely goal-directed: anything he feels takes focus away from your ultimate goal, he's going to object to.  He can, however, be talked around in the vast majority of cases where he objects, and in the cases where he can't be talked around, the approval loss is minor and easily made up for.  There is so much about him and about qunari culture you can only learn if you take him with you constantly, because he'll make comments at various points that you can ask him about later and he'll explain.  I think he talked more in the playthrough where I always had him in the party than in all the playthroughs I didn't combined.

Of the other characters: Oghren's schtick got old after the second playthrough, and he's even more obnoxious in Awakening, Leliana appeals to me more as a friend than a love interest, Zev seems to have sex on the brain as much as Oghren does but he expresses it with less crudeness and more sophistication (plus he's never drunk) so I find it more endearing in him.  Alistair I find vulnerable and needy in a way that appeals to me as a player as it wouldn't in real life.  Shale and Dog I find ho-hum.  As for Morrigan, I appreciate the brilliant job the writers did: she's a great character.  However, she's a lousy companion.  If my PCs must face death, they'd prefer to face it without the accompaniment of her cruel and cutting remarks to companions and constant second-guessing of everything they do that might remotely help anybody in any way--and, unlike Sten, she objects on general principles rather than for expediency's sake.

So, least favorite companions:  Morrigan in Origins, and Oghren (even over Velanna) in Awakening.

I hated Velanna at first, but she grew on me. I like her now.. which is saying a lot since I generally despise 99% of Dalish characters.

[ijustwananame1]

I can't stand Leliana. I don't go in for religious loons.



Sten was pretty bland. Though his banter's funny.



Oghren was plain irritating.

[TheDayWarden]

Sten irritates me, you think he'd be a bit more grateful and less critical.

Leliana is fantastic, adorable is the word.



In Awakenings Anders annoys me, he's just a much less likeable Alastair.

Why all the Velanna hate? I thought she was ok

[M-Taylor]

Hmm.

Most favourite, I think, is a surprise for me.. I think my favourite is Sten. Yeah, he's a total jerk when you have low approval with him, but the moment you hit around 70 or so, his party banter is mint. I really have come to love Sten, and he used to be my most hated.

My most hated, I think has to be a toss up between Oghren or Wynne. Oghren, I just find really rude and uncouth. I could just about tolerate him in Origins, but they went in completely the wrong direction with him in Awakening. I thought he would of matured more, given the events of Origins.. but no. He got worse. Christ, I actually wanted to stick toothpicks in his eyes and cut out his tongue.

And Wynne used to be one of my favourites. The mother figure usually always has a soft spot with me.. but after a few runs, and making and unruley city elf, I've come to dislike her, immencely. She's far too preachy, and that line in the Gauntlet of 'You could of done better, but learn to accept you failed' was horrid with a city elf.. so yeah, come to dislike her with a passion, but I'm not the biggest fan of Morrigan either.. So, I'm screwed with the mage thing in origins.

[svenus97]

Origins: Favourite: Sten/Morrigan/Leliana/Zevran/Wynne/Shale/Dog/Alistair/Loghain

Least Favourite: Oghren



Awakening: Favourite: Oghren/Sigrun/Anders/Justice

Least Favourite: Nathaniel and Valenna (I doubt I spelled it right, she is to only

companion who's name I never bothered to notice).

[Unrefined-Nemesis]

I hate my Barkspawn. besides early game usage he's really useless and has little interaction

He is the voice actor for Wolverine!
Nothing like listening to a drunk Wolverine.


If I am to make a list from favorite to least favorite, it would look like this:
1- Morrigan (of course).
2- Loghain Mac Tir (surprise)
3- Sten
4- Leliana
5- Shale
6- Zevran
7- Oghren
8- Alistair
9- Dog
10- Wynne.

Note that number 5,6,7 are very cose and somewhat equal. Also number 2 and 3 are also close, since we get Loghain very late, while we have Sten early.

For Awakening:
1- Nathaniel Howe
2- Justice
3- Sigrun
4- Anders
5- Velanna
6- Oghren

Number 2,3,4,5 are very close and I would say even equal. There wasn't enoughtime, nor dialogue, to get a clear picture of those characters. And yes, I do enjoy Velanna and her unstable side.
I liked Oghren in Origins, but in Awakening, he is saturated. I thought they were going to show more of his warrior side in Awakening and that would have been good. Instead they make him act more like a drunk.

[sylvanaerie]

for Origins, I really liked everyone. Even Oghren once you get his approval to 100 (somehow managed it on my Dalish). The speech he gives you at the gates of Denerim is very touching. If I had to pick a least favorite it would be him mainly cause I do Deep Roads last and don't get him till late in the game. I don't know what happened in Awakenings, its like he had a stroke and went back to his teenage years or something.

Favorites were :Alistair, Zevran and Morrigan.



In Awakenings, my least favorite is Velanna. Angry b*tchy Dalish was overdone.

Favorites were Nate, Anders and Sigrun.

What I've found on the rare occasions I used Sten was that he was even more of a jerk than Morrigan is in places, criticizing every damned thing I do...

"The blight! How will you end it!?"

"Interesting, are you going to keep heading north till it becomes south and attack the archdemon from the rear!?"

"Pasherra, There is nothing of interest here, we should move on!?"

"No! ..."
