What are your favorite weapons for each of your Hawkes and party members? I don't just mean mechanically, though that might be something. I also mean for design or story connections.

My own mage Hawke uses Malcolm's Honor for almost her whole career, but takes up the Staff of Violation (albeit a modded version because the original sucks) after Orsino's death. Merrill's used random staves so far, but eventually gets Voracity, and then a modded Torch of Falon'Din, though with my rogue Hawke, she gets Malcolm's Honor after it's removed from Bethany after Act 1. Anders I think is happy with Freedom's Promise. So far, I've put less thought into nonmage weapons...

I like the Key my mage Hawke uses because it makes sense the Key would be the same thing Hawke's mage father would have used. And I like customizing the effects it has.

When do you get the Key?

[Bobad]

Hawke: Sword of Mercy
Bethany: Malcolms Honour
Aveline: Glindvalis or however it's pronounced with Cornerstone
Fenris: Celebrant
Merril: Voracity, then Torch of Falon Din on acquisition
Isabela: Carter Left and Right Hands
Anders: Not sure
Sebastian: As Anders
Varric: Panzerschreck

All based on aesthetic or story based importance.

Legacy. It's always the weapon Hawke uses most. If you have a Hawke who uses a bow, the Key will be a bow. If you have a Hawke who uses sword and shield, it'll be a one-handed sword. If you're a mage it'll be a magus staff.

[Xilizhra]

I misspoke. I should have said "When do you play Legacy?"

[Loain]

I gave Anders "Malcolm's Honor" because I like the idea of Andraste constantly watching over him.
Carver and Fenris were given which ever blade weapons were best for them. My favorite for Fenris was "Blade of Mercy (Hawke)" because the gem complemented Fenris' eyes, he has pretty eyes.
My Hawke used witch ever electrical damage staff did the most damage because I love the sound electrical damage makes. Everyone else got what was best for them.

The problem with the Key is the lack of rune slots. You really want at least one so you can apply the +10% damage rune (and/or the attackspeed one from refining the idol). That said for a mage at least its still probably the best weapon.

For companions:
Aveline - Mage's Friend and Auvar's Prize.
Fenris - Bloom.
Merrill - Voracity. I actually don't give her Torch either, its pound for pound the better weapon but stacking the blood magic bonuses is pretty key with her if you use the constitution build.
Anders - I don't remember the name but the one that buffs healing spells.
Isabela - Can't recall.
Varric - Bianca.

I like to play the DLC content after Act 2 but before the big boom. Gives me the feeling that Hawke is doing more than just running errands for Orsino and Meredith.

Might actually explain why Hawke is absent for long periods of time so the situation gets worse while' he gone.

[Xilizhra]

I do that too, though I tend to play Legacy as my last act before The Last Straw.

[Noatz]

I played Legacy post campaign, but chronologically I prefer to think of these excursions occuring in one or both of the 3 year gaps during which we're supposed to accept that Hawke does absolutely nothing of note.

I'm in post campaign mode right now, handling DLCs and such, so I'm not using most of the companions. But, for each game, I've been giving Bethany Freedom's Promise - mainly for the stats, but also because she looks all sorts of cool wielding it while wearing Aldenon's Vestments (thanks to the Diversified Follower Armors mod).

For Isabela, I'm fond of using Carta's Left Hand and Carta's Right Hand, with some variations.

[Arthur Cousland]

I also like Aldenon's Vestments and the rest of the set to give my mage Hawke more of a "battlemage" look and less like a priest or circle mage.  I also don't want Anders getting too excited seeing my male mage Hawke in a dress.

I've grown quite attached to Tallis's daggers, myself.

[General User]

I like the armor from the latest DLC for warriors, mages and rogues. It has a rather practical look about it.

[Bayz]

My favorite weapon is surprise, yes surprise, surprise and fear, that's two, my two favorite weapons are fear and surprise and ruthless efficency, three my three weapons are Fear, Surprise, Ruthless Efficency and an almost fanatical devotion to the Pope, ahh...Four!

[JaegerBane]

My mage basically used the Staff of Parlathan until it became underpowered (which was basically halfway through Act 1... ) and then took up his father's staff and wielded the awesome Malcolm's Honour for the rest of his career - in my opinion, that staff basically renders all others obsolete.

And the Mask and Bequest. I honestly think that was one of the best mage outfits I've ever seen, in any game.

I'm not sure just how much runes actually add to all this. I noticed that 'Improves with Level Up' largely outperformed any runed staffs in terms of damage output etc, since the base strength of the staff seems to have the most effect on the intensity of the spells.

[ReallyRue]

I really like the Empress' Point (greatsword), Mountain Father's Haft (axe), and Fade's Fury (longsword). The designs are just marvellous. Also Malcolm's Honour (staff), because it's attractive and I like Hawke/Bethany/Hawke's LI or friend having a link to Hawke's family past.

I like the Finesse blade, and similar. Partly because I like the design, but also because it's from Zevran. XD

The staff you get in the Deep Roads (the one similar to Lampost in Winter from Awakening) also has an excellent design, as does Torch of Falon'Din, which looks good for a battlemage, and I like to give it to Merrill as a link to the woman who was like a mother to her (even if it's a tragic memory). There's also a bow I really like, but I forget what it's called. I like Hood's Message To The King too.
