(this is halfway tongue-in-cheek, so try to take it with equal measures of humor and seriousness)

I know it's a stretch, but maybe for the next installment we can put together a team of capable and reliable and emotionally stable companions? People that can handle their own problems for a change. And more specifically, how about we not recruit a whole party of colossal ****-ups that will alternate between throwing wrenches in your works, and stabbing you in the back as a result of mental instability or a lack of mental fortitude.

I'd like to see some party NPCs that provide you with extra quests and a greater range of story, without them needing you to hold their hand or solve all their problems for them. And, most preferably, I'd like to avoid casual social simulation fun time. If I wanted to play dating sims, I'd go play dating sims. What I would like to see come from party interaction is rousing heroics and romance.

In summary; strong, capable characters, and heroic thematics.

Some characters will be sensible like Aveline or Wynne. Some will be filled with conflict (inner or outer) like Anders or Zevran. That's unlikely to change.

The problem isn't that they are "filled with conflict", the problem is that they are one-dimensional and not-relatable.

If you say so. If the demand is "write it better", then so be it. Thanks for the tip.

Dear Mr. Gaider, I mean no offense to your person, but can you or your writer team craft a character with that complexity?

I wrote Irenicus, but beyond that I really can't answer your subjective question in a way that will satisfy you. Fans have a variety of reactions to followers-- some brand them "whiners" when they utter the first complaint, some love the drama, some adore them and some hate them passionately... really I'm happy with the followers being anything that isn't simply unremarkable.

As for your estimation of a complex character, you're welcome to hold whatever bar you wish. Whether we reach it is not really something I'm worried about, so long as our characters do what we need them to do.

I think my favourite from DAO is Alistair. Since he's pretty much me.... "Yes, that's right. I stopped you to tell you I'm an idiot."

DA2 is probably Varric for similar reasons hahahah. Although Isabela is close enough that I'm not sure if I can actually decide. I really like Isabela's growth as a character.
