I brought Warden!Carver and Merrill for my first run, which was entertaining. Especially since my Hawke was in a romance with Merrill, and Carver still seems to have a crush on her . Yes, bro, I sent you off to a life of sacrifice and duty and slept with that cute girl you like.

Aveline and Anders don't seem to be a good combination, though. Iindividually I was happy with their content, but they didn't seem to interact at all. Don't think I heard a single banter between the two of them. Maybe it's a bug?

Next up for me: Fenris and Varric, then Isabela and Sebastian.

I just read this thread and i would like to bring Isabela and Aveline since it seems they are the only companions to have "real" quests, but my Hawke is an archer rogue and i wonder if the difficulty would not be too hard without any mage, especially as i play only in nightmare mode.

What do you think?

Pack lots of Health potions and Mythal's favor nades to start.  I also think that there is some cross class combo potential between Aveline's shield bash and explosvie strike.  As I recall, most of the archer stuff exploits BRITTLE, so you may have an issue there.

Thanks for the tips.

Thread necromancy FTW! 

Just recently got the DLC, and just finished playing it through with the team Isabella+Merrill.

Couldn't be happier with the choise - there was some really fun banter between the two.  Searched for this kind of a thread just to find out whether ALL combinations have been written in so well, or whether I just got lucky in my choise. Isabella and Merill being friends, and generally having great banter between them in the game, I was kinda hoping for what I got.

Will be replaying this some time in the future with different companions, but the Isabella+Merrill team was just great fun.

Yes, good tips indeed! My PC is a mage, and I had Isabella and Merrill with me, so no tanks, lots of magic and daggers.

Additionally, I had the mod that removes the custom armor from companions, and allows you to equip them with armor you find in the game, and that probably didn't work with the DLC as it should have - Talis had no armor, and I could put no armor on her either.

Additionally, I hadn't exactly stocked up on potions, so I did find the DLC a bit challenging at points; in the final fight, I'd run out of health potions little over half way through, and was losing companions - by the very end, only Merrill was alive, with a small sliver of health left, but that was JUST enough to win. By the skin of our teeth.
