1. Merril: I always romance her on my mage play-through, other than that she is really good dps so I use her every now and than especially when being a mage my self. For any other play-through I just make sure I do the quests but nothing else really.
2. Aveline: She is cool as hell all you have to do is download a mood that makes her look same but allot hotter and she is awesome at that point.
3. Anders: This character I have always in my party for some reason I just can't hate him even after the magic bomb thing, he was my fave awakening character so yea I just keep him around.
4. Isabella: Always romance her on my warrior play-through and she's pretty funny.
5. Sebastian. Yea I do all his quests but I always make him full rivalry asap cuz I just can't stand him but he's a good dps and kicks ass too so I play take him around sometimes.
6. Fenris. On my mage play-through we always become best buddies since I got no warrior with that spec but on my war rogue play-through I make him hate me, I make his life living hell.
7. Tallis- meh I just really didn't feel anything for this character, you can only make out with her and the make out scene is so awkward and stupid that I feel awkward and stupid for playing this.
8. Carver - Carver is ok he kinda of sarcastic and it cracked my up a couple times so I don't really like to rival him just become buds.
9. Bethany- Bethany is always a friend in my games I mean how can you be mean to her? Even if someone would go for a sister rivalry play-through, what kind of an evil **** would havke have to be to rival her sister.
10. Varric- hes cool, hes funny, I deff I wanna see him in DA3 when your PC is looking for Havke and the Warden to help stop the mage templar war.
