I kindly ask that you keep the examples to Bioware games people. KOTOR 2 does not count (even though I liked that game alot).

And I'd like to kick myself for forgetting DA: Awakening. But if you'll ask me who was my fave from that game:



Sigrun (Dragon Age: Awakening) - A happy go lucky female dwarf with a death wish? Where've you been all my life?

Baldurs Gate: Xan. To be perfectly fair, I'm basing this around my heavily-modded experience with BG1, so it doesn't really count 100% as BioWare, but I just loved his nonstandard attitude, and I felt like my favorite PC (half-elf cleric/mage, devout of Oghma, really misses candlekeep, hates wolves with a passion) could really sympathize with him.

Baldurs Gate 2: It's a tie between Aerie and Jaheira, and I like them both for the same reason. At the start of the story, they are both damaged women who have lost something dear to them, but over the course of the story they learn to genuinely move past their problems on their own. Yes, they talk with their friend / romantic interest about their problems, but they don't seem to rely on him / her to solve everything for them, and they actually make personal progress instead of just sulking about. As a sidenote, I especially love the relationships that develop between Haer'Dalis, Aerie, and Minsc. It was great that not everything in that game revolved around you.

Knights of the Old Republic: HK47. He is, without a doubt, the funniest companion BioWare has ever made, and he's just very different than their usual fare. I'm actually starting to get curious about who wrote him, and what else that person did.

KotOR 2: yes, yes, its an Obsidian game. Shoot me. I love Atton Rand. As a male PC, I felt closer to him than I did to my LI. He just has a really fascinating backstory, and the fact that he risks opening up to you (an ex jedi) about it is just somehow more personal than the usual sob story info dump is. I also like the complicated dynamic between him and the exile, with both of them serving as mentors to one another in almost equal parts.

NWN2: Sand. First, as evidenced by the Xan thing, and my history of PCs, I just have a soft spot for elven wizards, but there's a lot more to it than that. Sand is the only reasonably adult figure you ever recruit into your party in any RPG I have ever seen. Jaheira and her husband were putting their adult lives on hold to be harpers, and Kreia abandoned her adult life as a teacher long ago, but Sand? He's a merchant, enchanter, alchemist, and lawyer first. He actually has a stable position in society, which he is taking some time off from, after securing his shop with the golem and presumably squaring away his other affairs. That makes him special.

DA:O: Morrigan. First off, she is voiced by Claudia Black. Claudia Black was on Farscape. That automatically makes me love her (BioWare, take note! Hire more VAs who were part of that show!). But I also like how twisted her story is when romanced. The first time she's allowed to leave her home and enter civilization its on a mission from her mom to have a Grey Warden's child. She discovers that she absolutely hates one of the two male Grey Wardens in the country, and so she jumps on the one she actually likes. Over time, she discovers that, actually, she would have persued a relationship with him even if it weren't for her mission. Then she find the black grimoire, and her whole world is turned on its head. She's not sure if she really believes in her mission anymore. She realizes that she truly cares about the warden, and doesn't want to hurt him, but her mission will undoubtably cause him heartache. She can't even think of sleeping with him, because of all the angst it causes her. Eventually, the self-confidence she's gained on her adventures with the warden allows her to come to the realization that, for various partially unreavealed reasons, she must go through with her mission, and leave the warden. He consents, and she leaves. But he never stops searching for her, and over time, she realizes what a mistake it was to leave him behind. When he confronts her years later, they step off into the Eluvian together, to face whatever will come. It's just.... so much better and more interesting than the standard for these sort of things.

DA:A: Justice. I love when writers take their fantasy rules seriously and examine them and their human implications. Justice did that perfectly. he also had a cool voice.

DA][: Carver. He has a major inferiority complex as the only one in his family who can't preform miracles on a regular basis, he has a lot of sibling rivalry with Hawke, he's just desperately trying to find his own place, but he still loves his brother / sister, and his top priority is always their safety. That's cool, and complex in an interesting way.

Mass Effect Series: Garrus. He's Garrus. He's dinosaur space batman.

Whoops my bad I wasn't aware that KOTOR 2 was developed by another company other than BioWare or I forgot Anyhoo... I forgot to mention ' My good buddy ' Soris : Dragon Age : Orgins

I am a she-elf from The Alienage and I truly felt befriended by this character.He had my back and no matter how much others may have despised our people I knew that he was on my side I was upset when I had to leave the only home I knew without him with me

Leiliana is my friend and lover and I love having her in my party but like Isabella Swan missed Jacob Black even though she had the love of her life Edward Cullen with her.Jacob  was her brother from another mother and best friend. I still missed Soris even though Leiliana is with me...

Yay another Wild Flower fan. I always feel like she's one of the most under appreciated Bioware companions. A possesed child is such a cool idea for a party member and it'd be really funny when she'd stop like "Esqueeze me Miss angry fighter lady the guardian wants to talk to you" Then her eyes glow and a scary voice comes out like speaking in tongues. It's like the Excorsist but with a cute little chinese girl.

David Gaider.  Mostly.  From Luke's answers it seems like they all had a bit of a hand in all of them.

Come to think of it, it's time to bump that thread with more questions.

Little thread ressurection here. But just wanted to give a little update.



Javik (Mass Effect 3) - There were so many ways Bioware could have gotten this character wrong. Thankfully, they managed to pull it off and create a truly badass companion for Shepard. He's my third favorite behind Wrex and Garrus.
