I just needed to express my for wynne, i find her character really interesting and intriguing. Shes the mother figure in the party always giving advice, sometimes adviseing on topics that do not concern her  Her stories of the circle are wonderful. I wont mention spoilers but her incident was quite the revelation and her companion quest is touching

Shes all ways in my squad, her skills of healing are quite valuable, and her convosation with your romance option are quite amusing.

Just had to express my appreaciation

I'd like to take this opportunity to say I never liked Wynne. She came off as a little arrogant, holier-than-thou kind of old lady.

[Duck and Cover]

she was second in damage behind me. But probably because I gave her fireball and inferno and lots of +fire gear. And my tank had lots of fire resist gear. It's a wonderful combination.

[KnightofPhoenix]

I have to admit that she isn't as boring as I first thought she would be.

Even still, she, like Alistair, is not really interesting to me. I only tolerate them, but don't really like them.

[Alexandus]

I prefer my companions to have more cut-throat practicality. That being said, Wrynne was the 3rd member of my party and very useful, and admittedly very practical when her morality didn't get in the way. Her AOE that cured injuries...awesomeness...before that, in the middle of a mission, my melee companion would be stacking about 20 injuries.

refering to mass effect, i tend to play greatly towards paragon side rather than renegade, and wynne is the prefect paragon squadmate

I lean to renegade, so that explains our different tastes yes.
Wrex and Garrus are awesome!! Had to say it.

There's a Wynne thread here already, though that one's in the spoiler-free forum. Let me just repeat that I utterly adore Wynne, she's right up my alley as a companion.

[Eliende]

Wynne is stupid! Well, technically, the game is stupid. She (the game) got the weird idea that I was wooing Leliana when I was in fact wooing Morrigan. And Wynne even warned me about hurting her feelings! Later, Lel and my character had a weird break-up talk; weird because my character never even tried to kiss her!

[Jonp382]

I really like Wynne. If my male human noble could romance those old bones, he would. She doesn't exactly look like she's about to drop dead anyways hehe.

[Jobrill]

Wynne is amazing, and I would probably romance her if I could. She's incredible. She acts like an old wise woman in a lot of ways, and has a lot of insights, but you can tell, especially if you get the right party banter, that she's "experienced" in all the right ways too, and knows how to have fun.

You forgot hypocrite.

She's my favorite abomination.



I actually like Wynne.



From a Mechanics point of view, she comes with useful spells and unlike most companions I don't feel like I have to re-spec her. Her plot related abilities are good as well, and she can achieve incredibly high Spell Power.



From a character POV, she's a mixed bag. She's a prison camp survivor who defends the policies of the people who imprisoned her, brutalized and (she believes) killed her apprentice, and stole her child. She's an abomination who preaches against Blood Magic. She warns you against love, but herself has had a very active sex life.



On the other hand, she's very concerned with doing the right thing and being a good person. I like that. Her advice is preachy and sometimes condescending, but it's well intentioned. She has a strong sense of duty. She works well with Alistair, Leliana, Sten and Oghren.



She's not my favorite companion, but I almost always take her along to some areas to hear her banters.

[Joshd21]

I do appreciate Wynn, she has a unique old woman about her but still ready to kick some buff. She offers to guide you and some tips. Kinda like an adviser, everyone has something unique about them. I much rather listen to Wynn tell me storys about when she was a young mage growing up in the tower then listen to Sten disssaprove of everything I do without telling me why he feels that way, even though I saved him from being eaten by darkspawn. Wynn has a unique tale to her, about how she died during a fight with a demon and someone helped her live on. Her special unique ablity is also like spell power on roids, very usefull

[Sarah1281]

I appreciate her healing abilities.

[Annarl]

She's okay. Depending on the character I'm playing, I either really like her or she gets on my last nerve, which can be dangerous for her health. LOL.

[ejoslin]

 This is why I don't like Wynne.  Busy body!  Well, aside from her comments at the gauntlet, especially to a city elf or human noble.  Spouting platitudes is right.

This is why she sometimes lives.  At least she can admit when she's wrong.  Sometimes.  IF it's completely obvious.

Her relationship advice is much less nasty for everyone else, I will admit that.

I hate Wynne. Why isn't there a go **** yourself option? I'd use that allot.

[RogueWriter3201]

Threads like this have arisen repeatedly, and sadly have always fallen to the way-side rather quickly. None the less, I'll add my Two Cents to the mix. I see alot of 'negative' Wynne comments, reffering to her as a "Hypocrite" or "Busy-Body", and frankly I think those comments either A) Have to do with one's restrictive RP style, or Are associated with those who fail to see things from Wynne's standpoint.

It's easy to forget that Wynne was raised in the Circle, and as such belongs to a particular Fraternity with-in the Circle that believes in upholding the more important tenants of the Circle while not *completely* allowing the Chantry to make the Mages Slaves. Through-out the game there are moments when her choices appear very pro-freedom and others when she would appear to be a Chantry Mouth piece. Again, you have to look at things from her perspective. She's seen first hand how the Chantry's overzealousness can be a terrible thing for unfortunate Souls (i.e. Anerin) However, she's also seen where the Strict rules of the Chantry can save one from themselves or outright prevent a situation from becomming tragic later. Given these factors it's easy for someone to pass Judgement on Wynne as being "Hypocritical" when they just charge through a situation without trying to examine it from all sides. If you're playing the Extreme end of the Spectrum White Knight or Extreme end of the Spectrum Black Knight this oversight becomes all the easier. Taking the time to look at things through Wynne's eyes is almost always informative if not eye-opening.

As to Wynne being a "Busy-Body", well, least we forget The Grey Warden Commander is the Last Hope for Fereldan; unlike Star Wars we don't have Wynne as Yoda proclaiming that, "No, there is another." Just look at the Darkspawn Chronicles to see what happens if Our Warden doesn't make it to the Archdemon. Wynne is aware of the Warden's importance, and she does not want to see him lay the foundation for his own demise. So, she lectures and interjects for his benefit. Few people enjoy having a "Finger Waggled at them," however sometimes we *can* be our own worst enemy, and we need people to save us from ourselves. Wynne fills that role more so than anyone else in the party. Our Love Interests usualy are so Self absorbed in thier own dilemas that thier often happy to let us do as we please; if thier hardened even Black Knight Characters can become instriments of Chaos and our LIs won't even bat an Eye-lash Nice times out of Ten.

Wynne never compremises her standpoint to keep the Warden on the road to the Salvation of Ferelden and the people. So, if we become infatuated with Leli, Mori, Alistair, etc, she intercedes to warn us that Loving something deeply, than losing it horribly, can scar us in such a profound way that all else seems of little importance. As the sole Hope for Fereldan, the Gray Warden can seldom afford this. However, as time progresses, even Wynne comes to admire the Love between the Warden and his/her respective LI, but still warns that things may not end with White picket fences. In the end, Wynne is a teacher, and despite our belief that we know "Everything" that's not the case; Wynne simply takes the time to fill in the blanks or offer a new perspective, to not welcome this is to play a truly blind or myopic character. 

Overall, as it's easy to surmise at this juncture, I like Wynne a great deal. I daresay, under the right circumstances, I would even go so far as to Romance her if the Game allowed it. She's Intelligant, Compassionite, Strong-willed, Courageous, and quite a fetching Older Woman. None the less, I'm more than pleased with her filling a Obi-Wan/Gandalf role for the Grey Warden's initial Adventure to defeat the Blight. I know everyone will have thier standpoints, and I can do little to change that, however I would say with clear confidence that there is something in Wynne for everyone to like from a Character perspective if you only stop to Really look. 

Wynne Approves +15

So she thinks that if your LI were to dump you you'd be too emo to stop the Archdemon? Some people have played their Wardens as getting so emo about it that they do the US ending but does she really think that anyone could be that immature? That's just insulting. Yes, love (especially love of Alistair) could lead you to make a potentially disastrous choice about the DR but Wynne doesn't know that exists or that a GW needs to die to kill the Archdemon and her assumption that you can't handle a relationship - or even meaningless sex - and save the world at the same time isn't supported by anything you do in the game ever.

I don't fail to. Just because I see it from her stand point doesn't mean I have to agree with her.

Except for three times where she tries to kill the warden, of course...

Edit: Or four times, if you count the blood mage thing that was removed from the vanilla game...

Two of those times I can even sort of understand even if she's being a moron. When she tries to kill you for defiling the ashes after you've already done so...what does she honestly hope to accomplish here?

To give her credit, she only roots for the darkspawn if she wasn't in the party when you defiled the ashes.  Really, the two times in the circle tower I can kind of understand as well.  I'm not condemning her.  I'm just saying she does not always put saving Ferelden first.

Edit: Oh, yes, I took out much snark!

 MILF FTW :lol:.  Wynne's not the best companion, can get bit preachy .    But she is certainly not the worst or most annoying one either
