For me I would have 5 characters that ****** me off
1.Isolde- She is so f**king annoying how she screams DON'T KILL HIM HE'S JUST A BOY and basically started the whole mess in redcliffe she shrieks and whales I loved punching her in the face also that ugly mole she has
2.Ser Jory- Oh so you want be a warden Jory? This guy is such a wining wuss all he does is wine about dying found it funny when duncan pwned him jory was just so annoying he needs to grow a pair
3. Logaihn- He cared nothing about ending the blight he just hates the orleisans and acts like a raging 12yr old playing modern warfare 3 in the landxmeet not to mention if you get him as a companion and have him in the party with Leliana he packs on her for being orleisan
4.Wyne- Obsessed with the maker nuff said
5.Cammen- he is so lame OMG I LUV GHENNIA HELP ME I cAN'T HUNT I love how they let you bang her than tell him he is also fugier than the Didact from Halo 4
Honerable mention:

I just finished a playthrough of origins and awakening and oghren was really getting on my nerves in the last few hours, especially after i recruited Sigrun! I usually like vulgar but the guy is just tiresome and in awakening its almost sad how pathetic he gets!

Old Tegrin. Especially with how long loading screens take on my PC.
All of my party members, when they're doing that thing where you're just trying to navigate the world but you accidentally click on them and they're all, "Yes?" or "What do you wish of me?" I know many people missed 'talk anywhere' in Awakening and DA2, but I don't think I do.
...and I sometimes purposefully avoid Gorim in the Marketplace to avoid triggering his ambient. (Should probably download ejoslin's Gorim Shut UP mod...)

One of the more annoying characters in the game Ser Landry. Challenging me to a duel for something that I had no control over, and that was mostly the fault of... literally everyone at the strategy table except me and Uldred? Instead of killing him, I prefer to lie about my identity so that he thinks (correctly for the wrong reasons) that he just threatened to kill an innocent person. It's beautiful.
Edit: Of course, even in that Landry looks like an idiot, since nearly all of my Wardens have facial tattoos to identify them.
Edit 2 : Of course, I only find him a minor annoyance, since he's so easy to take down, but considering that I can put up with everyone else in the game that still makes him one of the bigger ones.

How can you not love Sten? I mean, obviously his view of the world is drastically different from ours, but I find him fascinating and his humor is wonderful. And I don't really see how Wynne is obsessed with the Maker at all...
Let's see...Jowan gets on my nerves a bit.
Who else...? Oh, and that one bandit outside of Lothering with the really high voice; I hate that guy.
Most Orlesian people annoy me, except Leliana.

He he, this is a fun idea for a thread 
1. Eamon- Mistreats Alistair as a boy, kicks him out on the say-so of his trophy wife, and then uses him as a last resort to put someone of royal bloodline on the throne (when Alistair was actually happy as a Grey Warden). He's easily one of my most hated DA: O characters. I wish there was a way to finish the game without healing him.
2. The guard who "greets" you when you first enter Orzammar (after the Bhelen-Harrowmont face off). What a douche.
3. Sarel the Dalish storyteller - He reveals the reason for his rudeness to Dalish PC's (his wife died to the curse), but with any other Origin I want to turn him into werewolf chow.
4. Sloth demon - for putting me through the Fade. (Niall and his depressing personality are pretty annoying too...)
5. Oghren - I don't need a depressed, violent, unstable alcoholic dwarf following me around. Some of his jokes and banter are pretty amusing (like with Wynne and Zevran) but this guy is way too much.

Sarel annoys me as he is literally the only elf with a five o'clock shadow. Since the voice o'Gaider has opined that elf human matches result only in human children (i.e. no half elves), is he the result of an alliance with a dwarf?
Also Wynne's "I fought the law and the law won" gets a bit much.
From my very first mage origin, Jowan has annoyed me. I do not hate him, but Maker knows how much I'd relish a mod that allows the PC to put hot sauce in his shorts.

Good list of characters from the combined posts. They are why I'm perfecting my second dark warden and killing or driving off all my wannabe companions.
Awakenings started out good when M'hairi joined me and I thought "finally a character I like". Then she gets replaced by Oghren. I raged.

It is entirely possible he's adjusting for capacity to work under a deadline. I doubt Gorim's father in law ever delivered an order years late.

The entire Cousland family. The game spends so much time shoving their supposed virtues down the players' throats that I just find them all the more insufferable. (And don't even get me started on how every human in the origin talks about them like they're the Maker's greatest gift to Thedas since Andraste, and constantly clamors to soak up the rays shining out of their bums.)
Urien. He never shows up, but damn does the thought of him annoy me. Allows his sadistic son to go around beating, raping and/or killing his female subjects (some elven, some not), yet would torture and kill anyone who would ensure his son finally stop. Damn hypocrite.
Isolde. Treats Alistair like a mangy dog but her own son like a prince, uses her wealth to duck the law that all commoners have to abide, causes the gruesome deaths and zomification of most of her village, still insists she and her family are the real victims (even though none of them are dead or zombified when the Warden shows up), and has no remorse for the lives she destroyed. Like Urien, allows her little monster to terrorize her subjects but wouldn't hear of anyone hurting him. Damn hypocrite.
Loghain. Allows thousands to die to the actual danger (darkspawn) and the self-created danger (civil war) for the sake of combatting an imaginary danger (Orlais) to ensure the independence of an entire nation... except for the elves. They don't need freedom. Hmph, apparently "slavery" is only an unforgivable travesty when it happens to him and his. Damn liar and hypocrite.
Ser Cauthrien. Mindless lap dog that mindlessly laps up every bull**** lie, excuse and rationalization in regards to Loghain. Also this to a City Elf: "You have damned nerve opposing the man who fought to ensure you were born into freedom." Yeah, so he could sell me and mine into slavery.
Basically, most of the human nobles (and their immediate staff) annoy me to no end.

The Civil War was not entirely Loghain's fault. He dropped the ball defusing it, but Teagan really was raising his concerns at exactly the wrong time.

It was still a conflict of his own creation. He also chose to crown himself and exert his authority at exactly the wrong time. He also chose to repond to Teagan's concerns in exactly the wrong way. He also knew the nobles were resisting and mobilizing, knew he could prevent and end the civil war by stepping down from the regency, and chose to create and perpetuate the war. Yes, Teagan was raising his concerns, but he was also saying what everyone was thinking, and Loghain chose to dismiss them rather than addressing the, all but confirming his concerns.
If Loghain will not let the City Elf off the hook for daring to stop his slave-trading to pay for his civil war, then I will not let him off the hook for creating and perpetuating the civil war in the first place. He had many choices, and he chose slavery. For that, his hypocrisy will always irritate me.

One could argue that this was exactly the right time for the general to be leading the country instead of the queen. Though I nonetheless understand that the results can lead to you finding Loghain irritating, and I already admitted that Loghain might have gone about trying to bring Teagan back in line better than he did.
(As for Teagan saying what everyone was thinking, remember that Loghain was winning the Civil War until the Landsmeet happened. They all thought it was suspicious, because anyone who wasn't there would and should, but if the entire country wanted to go to war over this, Loghain probably would have lost before the Landsmeet rather than during it. So, while I understand the PC and player finding him irritating, apparently the NPCs who do are in the minority.)

One could also argue that quitting the field that results in the king's death and then immediately marching to the capital to crown himself in the fallen king's place is just asking to be seen as a usurper. One could also argue that since Teagan asked for permission to speak, Loghain gave that permission, and Teagan used that permission to voice his concern, there was no need to put him "back in line."
It's not just the results though, it's the mentality behind it. Bring up Orlais in any situation and Loghain becomes blind with fury. Bring up the alienage slave-trading and he basically accuses you of being selfish for daring to care about their freedom over his need for money to maintain his own ill-gotten regency. In fact, if a city elf does call him a slave-trader, he actually calls them "egotistical." ( 3:15 - 6:15 of this video makes me glad I never spared him.) I see, so allowing half the nation to fall to darkspawn to keep out all whom he perceives as affiliated with his former slavers is understandable, but taking umbrage with the people he sold into slavery is "egotistical"? **** you, Loghain. **** you and the horse you rode in on.

He calls the Orlesians oppressors and refuses their help against the Blight, then claims it would be better to be a slave in Tevinter than to die at the hands of the darkspawn?

I agree that the slavery is a tough case to make, and that Loghain was kind of hypocritical. I concede that he might be found annoying for those reasons. All I'm saying is that the Civil War specifically isn't entirely Loghain's fault.
As for Teagan needing to be put back in line, subsequent events back me up on this one. Though I'll concede that Loghain really ought to have tried reasoning with him rather than making barely veiled threats. (Whether reason would have worked or not is difficult to say, since Loghain has only his word, and as you correctly note the situation looks really bad. Still, in a situation like this there's a value in having Loghain's word understood as the final decision. Whether that outweighs the value of not looking like an usurper is tough to say, but then so is whether the rebellion would have been decisively weaker without Loghain doing so.)

Seriously? Thank you! Dear God, I've been saying this for months!
Speaking of hypocrisy, he justifies selling the elves with: "The whole kingdom is about to be lost: what does principle matter now?" This, from the same guy who refused to accept (what he perceives as) his former oppressors' help or recede from the throne out of principle, even as the kingdom crumbled around him.
How many double-standards does this guy have?

All right. In turn, I will admit that the Civil War is not entirely Loghain's fault as well.
BUT, I maintain that it is enough of his fault that I am still holding him responsible for his decisions and actions. He largely helps to create and perpetuate the civil war that drains the coffers? He loses the right to claim necessity for the money he traded his people's freedom for. Especially when his people's freedom is the reason he gives for said money-draining and money-gaining courses of action in the first place.

There was a similar thread to this from 3yrs ago or so, very long thread which got necroed a yr ago. Notably I seem to have changed up my list a bit, though I'll list only the characters I as a player of DAO just don't like meeting in-game rather than ones my characters tend to hate.
Wynne
I do love her voice and a few of her later "elderly wisdom" moments, but now I truly dread any interactions with her. The ol' lady is the companion who can turn violent on you in more instances than any other- initially, top of the Tower, Urn. And it's not like Zev or Loghain who chum up after being bested. With Wynne it's victory or death. Yes, she's a Maker drone: see if she likes you dragonblooding the Urn. Over and over she mentions it, though in banter w Leliana she'll reveal she's not even a stalwart believer. Then enough already! Even Leliana ignores dragonblooding the Urn if she's not present for it (though that may have been an oversight on the writing staff's part). The theme of her acting needlessly severely only to regret it later seems to pervade everything she does. No doubt yrs after killing Alistair and our Warden at the Urn (maybe with Leliana) she would look back in regret, recounting to some new unlucky listener how she was too hot-headed back then and wishes she could do it differently. She wallows in regret so much that it's harder to prise her away from her regretful Fade nightmare than it is to straighten out anyone else. And you have to take her w to the Fade or kill her...
Bodahn
First couple games I liked the rumors and his history. But now...
Bodahn: *contrived enthusiasm* "Can I interest your completely non-ornamentally-adorned character (who wears a protective helmet or magic cap) in this haaat? Pair of earrings as well perhaps despite having no piercings?"
For literally the 500th time: NOOOO!!!! Can't hit ESC out of those exchanges fast enough... Nice reward for saving him in Lothering though... if you're insistent on it...
Garin
Similar...
"Have you seen my-"
For literally the 500th time I have NOT seen your lunch!!! And does it never become time for breakers or dinner? ESC (twice)
Alistair
This didn't change except in reticence. How he has annoyed me, let me count the ways, and just when I think he's run out of ways to annoy me and maybe I can just play someone who gets on with him, nifty new surprises arise. If he's recruited when you talk to the mabari guy at Ostagar, you can ask him to muzzle Dog for you, but he says he's not a "dog person" and couldn't be bothered to save its life. "Do it yourself," he remarks dismissively. Then if you don't recruit Dog on the road he'll drop 10 APPROVAL POINTS as if you've just gravely insulted his mother. Over and over the hypocrisies. He suggests killing Connor then drops heavy approval points if you do- or apparently also if you save Connor by killing Isolde. Can't win with the guy. Mr. Pointless-Disapproval-Happy. In the early interaction where Duncan is explaining about going to Ishal, he actually disapproves if you're against the idea of putting Lvl 4 Wardens on the frontlines. Or after your first nightmare if you're not entirely "Oh, you were so helpful," XP drop. Then the stuff you'd think he'd be happy with he ignores- persuading the Lothering merchant to lower his prices, for ex. Not to mention his rather aggressive "romance" behavior that I've tried to chalk up to poor scripting, but w everything else I'm still holding him to it...
Doomsayers
I usually bristle at these. I went out of my way to kill them in NWN despite getting aggro from guards. The Lothering one is worse though- more loud and strained, and most importantly no "conversation" option to kill him.
Lothering priestess
This one's not new either. No matter how high my CUN and how many points I've put in Coercion, still she won't give me Sten's key. I assume that if I ask for her "blessings" and/ or contribute to the Fancy Chantry Outfit Fund, she'd be more agreeable, but no waaayyy I'm giving in to that blackmail. And she doesn't just flat-out say "no." No, she's got to hold a little unwinnable "debate" with you about it first, twiddling the key in her fingers teasingly all the while and pacing about haughtily in mock deliberation. "Leliana... please... say something before I get violent..."
Habren Bryland
She does nothing but stand there in the Denerim marketplace insulting her elven servant, and I'm not able to even interrupt her, just pickpocket a lousy tiara.
Shale
Actually I like her, but just thought I'd mention that she's the most high-maintenance of all the companions given how expensive her gifts are... Diamonds are a golem's best friend...
Cammen
I had no problem with him before, but now... what a freakin' sap... How wrong it feels to "fix him up" at this point, much less enable that nauseating kiss. 2yrs and no beast pelt? Not one? But he'll sheepishly lie about it if you get him one. It's just lame. Or I can convince Gheyna that it's all her fault. Eesh. I definitely try to get through that dopeyness quickly... Maybe the Dalish should invent a social role of simply weaving baskets or something so those who don't hunt can have their own rite of passage...
Gheyna: "You wove twenty baskets in a single day, snookems! I'm so proud of you."
Cammen: "Anything to bond with you, my dearest one. Anything except getting a single pelt, that is."
Sarel: "Not that we need that many baskets woven, but still..."
Sarel
Now that I mentioned him, yeah, he's annoying. Actually he was annoying to my Dalish Warden too for no good reason- and after he'd invited him to sit down. So generally I just avoid him... except to pickpocket...
Can't believe someone mentioned the Lothering bandit leader as a dislike. He's one of the funniest characters in the game! >:-) I always look forward to that encounter. One of the few NPCs in DAO that truly do have the zaniness so common in Baldur's Gate.
"What do you mean by 'Do I have news?' I'm a bandit. I rob people." (OK, I paraphrased.)
Wynne

Even Leliana ignores dragonblooding the Urn if she's not present for it (though that may have been an oversight on the writing staff's part). The theme of her acting needlessly severely only to regret it later seems to pervade everything she does. No doubt yrs after killing Alistair and our Warden at the Urn (maybe with Leliana) she would look back in regret, recounting to some new unlucky listener how she was too hot-headed back then and wishes she could do it differently. She wallows in regret so much that it's harder to prise her away from her regretful Fade nightmare than it is to straighten out anyone else. And you have to take her w to the Fade or kill her...
Bodahn
First couple games I liked the rumors and his history. But now...
Bodahn: *contrived enthusiasm* "Can I interest your completely non-ornamentally-adorned character (who wears a protective helmet or magic cap) in this haaat? Pair of earrings as well perhaps despite having no piercings?"
For literally the 500th time: NOOOO!!!! Can't hit ESC out of those exchanges fast enough... Nice reward for saving him in Lothering though... if you're insistent on it...
Garin
Similar...
"Have you seen my-"
For literally the 500th time I have NOT seen your lunch!!! And does it never become time for breakers or dinner? ESC (twice)
Alistair
This didn't change except in reticence. How he has annoyed me, let me count the ways, and just when I think he's run out of ways to annoy me and maybe I can just play someone who gets on with him, nifty new surprises arise. If he's recruited when you talk to the mabari guy at Ostagar, you can ask him to muzzle Dog for you, but he says he's not a "dog person" and couldn't be bothered to save its life. "Do it yourself," he remarks dismissively. Then if you don't recruit Dog on the road he'll drop 10 APPROVAL POINTS as if you've just gravely insulted his mother. Over and over the hypocrisies. He suggests killing Connor then drops heavy approval points if you do- or apparently also if you save Connor by killing Isolde. Can't win with the guy. Mr. Pointless-Disapproval-Happy. In the early interaction where Duncan is explaining about going to Ishal, he actually disapproves if you're against the idea of putting Lvl 4 Wardens on the frontlines. Or after your first nightmare if you're not entirely "Oh, you were so helpful," XP drop. Then the stuff you'd think he'd be happy with he ignores- persuading the Lothering merchant to lower his prices, for ex. Not to mention his rather aggressive "romance" behavior that I've tried to chalk up to poor scripting, but w everything else I'm still holding him to it...
Doomsayers
I usually bristle at these. I went out of my way to kill them in NWN despite getting aggro from guards. The Lothering one is worse though- more loud and strained, and most importantly no "conversation" option to kill him.
Lothering priestess
This one's not new either. No matter how high my CUN and how many points I've put in Coercion, still she won't give me Sten's key. I assume that if I ask for her "blessings" and/ or contribute to the Fancy Chantry Outfit Fund, she'd be more agreeable, but no waaayyy I'm giving in to that blackmail. And she doesn't just flat-out say "no." No, she's got to hold a little unwinnable "debate" with you about it first, twiddling the key in her fingers teasingly all the while and pacing about haughtily in mock deliberation. "Leliana... please... say something before I get violent..."
Habren Bryland
She does nothing but stand there in the Denerim marketplace insulting her elven servant, and I'm not able to even interrupt her, just pickpocket a lousy tiara.
Shale
Actually I like her, but just thought I'd mention that she's the most high-maintenance of all the companions given how expensive her gifts are... Diamonds are a golem's best friend...
Cammen
I had no problem with him before, but now... what a freakin' sap... How wrong it feels to "fix him up" at this point, much less enable that nauseating kiss. 2yrs and no beast pelt? Not one? But he'll sheepishly lie about it if you get him one. It's just lame. Or I can convince Gheyna that it's all her fault. Eesh. I definitely try to get through that dopeyness quickly... Maybe the Dalish should invent a social role of simply weaving baskets or something so those who don't hunt can have their own rite of passage...
Gheyna: "You wove twenty baskets in a single day, snookems! I'm so proud of you."
Cammen: "Anything to bond with you, my dearest one. Anything except getting a single pelt, that is."
Sarel: "Not that we need that many baskets woven, but still..."
Sarel
Now that I mentioned him, yeah, he's annoying. Actually he was annoying to my Dalish Warden too for no good reason- and after he'd invited him to sit down. So generally I just avoid him... except to pickpocket...
Can't believe someone mentioned the Lothering bandit leader as a dislike. He's one of the funniest characters in the game! >:-) I always look forward to that encounter. One of the few NPCs in DAO that truly do have the zaniness so common in Baldur's Gate.
"What do you mean by 'Do I have news?' I'm a bandit. I rob people." (OK, I paraphrased.)
