I just started playing the game and I heard that it's a really good idea to have the Mabari hound on your team. I'm an elf magi (DPS) and I have morrigan and alistair, but I think I should pick up Liliana so I can have a rogue, but I have to pick a character to drop. Which one should it be? I'd drop the hound, but is it important to have? Or should I drop morrigan? I'd like to eventually get Wynne as a healing mage.

The dog is not important. I have great affection for him, but you're almost robbing yourself of content by taking him everywhere; there is some party interaction with the dog, but most of it is pretty one-sided, for obvious reasons. And you will feel the pain if you don't have a rogue; nothing game-stopping, but you'll miss plenty of xp and traps will be the bane of your existence.

Keep a rogue... may-be not Liliana but the other two don't add any thing epic to the game.

You are already a mage so having both Morrigan (the best tank in game) and Wynne (the best healer in game) might not be ideal for a first time because mages tend to need lots of micromanagement. I suggest you drop one of them and carry the dog instead but it is your game and you can certainly win with any party that you enjoy playing.

p.s.

Despite what some people say about him dog IS a fully functional DPS companion through-out the game.

I might be insulting your intelligence, but you know that when you recruit followers, they still stay on your team even though you can only have three companions with you on a mission? The others are in your party camp. So feel free to experiment on your favorite line-up. There really is no "must have" line-up, it's in your preferred play style. Though it helps to have a rogue with you to pick locks and disarm traps.

I recommend the Extra Dog Slot mod for the PC. While some believe it is cheating, you still have the option to only take four instead of five along, and I believe that leaving your Second Sword back at camp all the time is a bit silly.

This.
You'll get more companions as you go so deciding who to take with you on missions will be a mix-and-match affair. They all fight differently and and individual personalities, so it's more a matter of working out who you like and who works well together rather than 'upgrading' and keeping the 'best' companions. I like to mix them up as much as possible just to I feel I get to know them all.

As others have said it's a personal choice, and just in case you didn't know - not using at the moment doesn't mean dropping.



You (should) keep at least one rogue who can lock pick. The Dog is a melée fighter and very strong early in the game. Mage builds can very greatly, but for the most part they can all act as deadly ranged combattants. Having two mages in your party can be very powerful, even too powerful for my taste.

Also, you can set up Mage tactics so you don't have to micromanage. Set tactics to unload all single target attacks in the order you want, probably starting with Vulnerability Hex.

Given the title of this thread and your handle, perhaps your best choice is the Warden?!

[USArmyParatrooper]

I didn't quite get the joke, but I did laugh about the idea of leaving the Warden behind. THAT actually would make for an interesting twist if there was a quest or two when your main character (can't) come along!

[PlayingWithKnives]

id guess the pun intended was the title says which character should i DROP elhanan mentions your name and im sure Paratroopers Drop from the sky ?

[USArmyParatrooper]

Ahhhhhh... yes. I was too busy trying to picture a game reference to get it.



Cute

There is indeed such a quest.
P.s.
Let dog do all the talking... wow what an actor!

That quest is so funny if you get oghren and zev to do the rescue

Sold! As much as my ego wants to my little group of four to slaughter Howe's entire army, that quest looks entertaining as hell.

It can even be profitable; both economically as gold and XP, as well as emotionally fullfilling when you get to fight Ser Cauthrian twice. Just kill her the first time, then get Captured (killed) by the remaining troops; both of you recover, and she gets her matching sword off the wall display for your next encounter!

I haven’t tried these two yet but Zev will offer any girl you pair him with as a ‘insert innuendo’ gift in order to get past the guards… very amusing.

Love that pairing, but there are many delightful combos. This quest is one best Hard Saved for multiple plays. Plus your ring from Morrigan sees some In Game usage finally.

[Hammam]

Thanks guys. I just started playing so I actually didn't know you can switch characters anytime. New style of gameplay for me. Did you find it better to level up all characters and frequently switch, or was it better to use the same four characters throughout, making them very powerful?

[HolyAvenger]

Your companions will auto-level to one level beneath you PC every time you switch them. So use whatever mix you like.

[ussnorway]

They will just level up with you even if you leave them at the camp.
The advantage of having one character over another join you (apart from the damage they do) is that they all have different opinions about the choices you make in the game and receive stat/ item benefits from liking you or suffer negatives if they don't. If you ****** them off enough they will leave or in extreme cases even attack you!
A good example of this would be the two mages... Morrigan & Wynne are polar opposite and having both of them in your party will almost always result in one of them getting upset with you, possibly both!

Oh and what I mean by auto-level is that they'll get the requisite XP and you can choose how to build them in terms of stats/skills/talents/spells etc.
