I completely despise Rendon Howe the most (Tim Curry does an awesome job of voicing him) and I don't hesistate to shoot Udina even when playing pure paragon.

Who makes you ticked off the most?

Fenris. Especially when I got to the end and realized he would never have character growth.... (be less of a bigot)

I find Udina closer to Loghain, both think their betrayals will help their planet / country and that they are removing inneffectual leaders (Loghain even has a point there).

On topic, Isabella. So many deaths in Kirkwall because she didn´t come clean about the Qunari. Would hand her over to the Arishok if I didn´t know she manages to escape.

I hated rendon Howe as well, but not as much as isabela. If she turns up in da3 knowing what I know, I don't think she will survive the encounter with my protagonist.

Tallis.

I find her plot armour far more annoying than Kai Leng's in ME3. His i can deal with because to be honest it has a point. The point being we build him up to the point where when we can finnaly take him down, very satisifying.

After the actions of the Arishok in Kirkwall i would be prepared to kill Tallis for that list. The fact that, no matter what, Hawke just lets her walk away infuriates me.

Its why i hope the character doesnt appear in the franchise again, unless her plot armour is removed and she is killable.

Sister Petrice...I wanted to punch her so hard and she always seems to get herself out of trouble.
When that Qunari land a arrow in her head , i was sad there were no happy dance option for Hawke."Yeah happy death!".

I didn't hate Udina , and at the start of Me 3 , i was almost liking him and then...whatever i shoot him.
I thought they would give us a way to punch or mock the "yes reaper" counsilor but he turned out ok.

On my first playthrough , I was furious about Isabella...then i learn to appreciate her , I'm still a bit mad but it's Isabella.She isn't mean spirited , she just doesn't care much about consequences.

And obviously , Anders at the end .I didn't kill him.Call it mercy or something...but i thought he was one of my pc best friend , so i couldn't go all murder knife on him .I didn't want to chase him away , I was afraid of what he might do on his own.
So i had to suffer the goodbyes at the Gallow , the whole "I'm so proud of you , Hawke , you understand , you're a true leader blablabla" ...I wanted to kick him in the teeth ,more healthy and friendly than the murder knife but sadly that option wasn't there.

I fixed that for you.

Guy I hate the most; Irenicus. He experimented on my character. He experimented on Imoen. Worst of all though, he pissed off Minsc. And Boo!

Udina, definitely. There's a well-written politician with some complexity and a truly unpleasant personality, but who is also strong-willed, brave and responsible. Reminds me of Ulraunt in Baldur's Gate. As for Howe, yeah, but to me he is just TOO sleazy, seems to have no redeeming qualities whatsoever(while Udina has some altruistic motivation for what he's done). Yeah, I'd say I prefer to hate Udina. There's an evil guy I respect and won't hesitate to kill(unlike an anti-hero like Loghain/Saren, where I'd feel strong regret, or a boring, one-dim villain like Broodmother/Duke Prosper, where I feel nothing. "Duke has fallen from grace" - facepalm).


Lately, though, there are characters I dislike not because they're worthy adversaries, or really bad guys with ugly behavior, but because they are meh when it comes to their personality and bleh when it comes to their actions. And maybe words like "bland writing" come to mind, too. Leliana, Wynne, Sigrun, Velanna, Isabella. No strong reactions here either way, not like with Anders, Alistair and Morrigan, - people seem to either hate them strongly or love them strongly(or despise them strongly, but acknowledge them for real, alive characters that they are). No, it's just "Ugh. They brought Leliana back AGAIN. Maker, please, just make her go preach to Tevinters or something". I don't like that. Besides, each of this characters "takes" a slot that could be filled with someone memorable(Aveline, Carver, Anders, Fenris and pretty much every other character created by these writers).

I'd like a badguy so evil,that if they locked you in a room with him in game,you'd pee your pants like you took a stun gun charge to the quad.
All I see is silly looking/acting.

Actually, I am pretty indifferent about: Alistair, Morrigan, Sigrun, Wynne.

I hate hate HATE: Leliana, Velanna

I love: Anders, Isabela

Bad guy I hated most in DA:O: Loghain.  TRAITOR!!!!!!!!!!  I love letting Alistair kill him!!!! B)

Bad guy I hated most in ME3: The Illusive Man.  Ohh I'm such a god, I know everything, bow to my will O Universe ... omg hated that guy.

Bad guy I hated most in DA2: Meredith.  Just a straight up murderer!  And treating mages as sub-human.  However, I understand that she was just a figurehead, and that many people, not just templars, also think of mages in this way. Many gamers in RL even think the same way!  It's terrifying, really, and brings to mind the Holocast, Japanese Internment Camps, and so on and so forth.  So I really applaud BW for creating this character that, while horrendous, is a reflection of ourselves in many ways.

She might have a role in DA3 so you might get your wish.

Udina ticks me off more, not because of him but because the writers didn't care and did character-assassination like they did with TIM. Howe was always Howe, no mind control or whatever. He was a manipulative sadistic bastard and he stayed--and died--that way.
