Based on story and companion banter without regards to a combat-effective party configuration, what combination do you like to take on specific quests?

I am mostly interested in the two major DLCs, but feel free to include any specific quest that stands out for some reason due to a certain combination of companions.

Include other criteria that affects the dialog and/or quest progress.

Don't forget your Hawke's, gender, class and demeanor.


For me:
Mark of the Assassin:

• (Tallis - required)
• Fenris
• Varric
• Hawke: male, rogue, sarcastic/charming
• Act II with Leadra still alive

Legacy:

• Varric
• Isabela
• Anders
• Hawke: male, mage, polite/diplomatic
• Act II with Leandra still alive and both siblings dead

How about yours?

(Fenris: Aw. Hawke stepped in the poopy.)

Legacy is easy, regardless of class/gender - Bethany/Carver (obviously assuming they're alive) for the extra family dialogue, Varric for the extra dialogue with the dwarf, and Anders for the extra Grey Warden bits.

Mark of the Assassin is tough though - all the characters seemed to have pretty entertaining banter. There was extra content for Aveline and Isabella so having them along is good, but I also thought the variations in the Anders/Hawke banter (Aggressive Hawke talks about his father being strict, Snarky Hawke about his father being a joker, etc) were a good enough reason to have him along as well (although I think that conversation might be only for mage Hawke?).

I played both of them post-game, although I think MotA would make more sense at a mid-point during the final act.

I refused to pick my characters responses based on one tone icon, so although this made me sound like I had a particularly bad multiple personality disorder at times, I felt my characters had some level of complexity to them. I'll do my best to describe them in terms of the tones though. Oh, and I played Legacy and MOTA using post campaign end of Act 3 saves.

Hawke One: Male, Warrior, Mostly direct and diplomatic dialogue choices. Didn't romance anyone. 
Anders
Bethany (Grey Warden-ified)
Varric
Same 3 companions throughout the game and Legacy (I didn't play MOTA on him) except where I was forced otherwise (I really hate this, and think it would be better if the companion who for story reasons needs to be present was an extra, allowing you to take your preferred companions with you.)

Hawke Two: Male, Mage, Mostly sarcastic and direct dialogue choices. Romanced Merril.
Anders
Varric
Merril
Again, same three companions throughout the game except where forced otherwise. In MOTA I took Anders and Varric. And went with Tallis, I didn't find her particularly interesting but equally didn't have the problem with her that some people seem to.

Anders, Varric, Bethany and Merril were about the only companions I felt any kind of attachment to, unlike DAO where I would mix the companions up more between playthroughs. I didn't pick them for any strategical reasons, but it was handy having my favourite companions being featured in Arelex's no pause nightmare guides:D.

Fenris and Carver I actively disliked, Aveline I was neutral towards. Sebastien I was neutral towards until the end of the game, at which point I wanted nothing more than to introduce him to Mr. Murder Knife (Jr.) Not that Sebastien was badly written in any way, quite the opposite.

Whichever companions I did decide to go with for a playthrough, DAO or DA2, I would normally stick with those 3 throughout the entire game. It's just something I do.

Edited because apparently I can't spell preferred.

I try and use all of my characters and try to anticipate whether there'd be extra dialogue/banter based on where the story is going. So, for example, if we're dealing with mages, I'd pick Anders and possibly Fenris or Sebastian to tag along, plus whomever I think'd be beneficial to the party (though, rarely) or whomever I just like more (usually a pick between Isabela or Varric, I love those two ).

I also try and mix them up in different playthroughs just in case I missed something or just because it feels like a different adventure every time.

Mark of the Assassin, specifically, has extra quests for each companion, so extra playthroughs with different characters are great .
