The healer.
The healer.
So far my favourites are The Iron Bull and Solas.
I think the third one, if he ends up being a companion, will be the Moustache guy.
My least favourites are Cassandra and Varric, and it's not that I don't like them, it's just that my character will be a Sword & shield Warrior like Cassandra, and I used Varric a lot in DA II.
I must say that DA:I crew is shaping up to be ME2's level of awesomeness.
Ever since Varric's been revealed as companion for DA:I, its pretty obvious that I'll take that sexy dwarf everywhere^^ Did the same in DA2, I never could go anywhere without having Varric along *gg*
So, obviously, Varric.
As for the others, dunno, I might have to decide alternatively, depending on the situation I'll most likely encounter...
Varric's a shoe-in. He's coming with me no matter what. I'm thinking that I'll play a mage, so I'll probably take Cassandra, unless Iron Bull or Bearded Grey Warden is totally awesome. The last person will probably be the person who's dropped whenever I need to bring someone specific on a quest, but will probably be Vivienne otherwise?
Vivienne is the only one I have decided on, so far. Varric probably too, since he can probably give some info about DA2 characters and Kirkwall. I am curious to know what happened after DA2.
The ones with funniest/best dynamic.
Really hard for me to choose atm, but I usually create a party that is fairly balanced. Characters (confirmed or semi-confirmed) that seem the most interesting so far: Varric, Cassandra, Iron Bull, Sera, Cole, Dorian.
I really can't decide right now. I need to see who the last two are and what everyone's personality is like. Nobody has really stuck out so far to me as a definite favorite.
Varric, Iron Bull, healer.
I like to stick to the D&D classic line up, sword & board, healer, dps, soooo, going with what we know so far, iff i'm playing an rogue i'll be rolling out with Cass, (unless Cullen's in, in which case it will be him) Varric and mage (don't know which yet, probably Vivienne). Iff I go with mage, i'll likely swap the mage out for Sera. Really depends on what the final line up is though, and what the character dynamics will be like, so, subject to change.
Apart from Varric. That dwarf is never leaving my side.
Male Elven Warrior Inquisitor:
Varric, Sera, and Solas.
Female Qunari Saarebas:
Casandra, Varric, (somebody else)
Vivienne, Solas and the third mage. If there is no third mage, well, then it will be just the three of us. I refuse to mingle with lesser beings.
Cassandra, Varric and most likely the Blonde Elf girl.

Varric and Cassandra for sure. I've been asking for Cassandra to be a companion since DA2. While I am not as in love with Varric as other people are, he is still a bro, and I want to see his growth and development as a character. I will be curious to see how the inquisitor's dynamic with Varric differs from Hawke's. Varric always seemed enamored with Hawke, I'm not sure the same can be said for the inquisitor.
SiblingHawke. I have also been asking for SiblingHawke to be a companion in DAI since DA2. Really, SiblingHawke never got enough content or screen time in DA2. They pretty much had Act 1 and then that was it for them, save a few possible cameos. The continuation of SiblingHawke as a companion of the inquisitor and out from Hawke's shadow is something I really want to see. I really like both Bethany and Carver and hope that they will both be companions. If so, they are guaranteed to be in my party for multiple playthroughs.
Solas, Varric and Sera/Vivienne/Cassandra. ![]()
Will probably take Varric and the Grey Warden with me. As for the third companion, I'll wait and see
Cassandra, Solas (I like him already because everyone seems to hate him) and the Grey Warden.
If the Bearded Warden and Iron Bull are confirmed, my ideal party is going to be those two, Varric, and mai female elf mage. It's actually a pretty solid party lineup if I do say so myself. Healer/Offensive magic user, 2h warrior, sword n' board, and a ranged rogue. One member of each race with a (hopefully) beautifully unattractive elf lady leading. Maybe I'm assuming too much but I sense good chemistry between Varric, the warden, and the Bull.
Male Human Mage
IB/Grey Warden (whichever is my LI)
Solas/Viv
Varric (specced with daggers)
Female Qunari or Dalish mage
- Varric (always)
- Cass or IB (if he's a warrior) or maybe Mr. Grey Warden
- Solas and Vivienne will switch out pretty evenly, I think. Unless Solas steals my heart even more!
Female Qunari 2hand Warrior Inquisitor
-Varric
-Gray Warden if he eventually is confirmed, Cassandra if not
-What ever mage heals and appeals to me the most. I'm assuming there will be at least one more coming (assuming they do a 3/3/3 split) So ill reserve judgment on that one for now
