I know what you mean. I hardly ever use Varric or Cole and I feel bad about it sometimes. But then Sera says something hilarious in banter and I forget all about Varric and Cole and their imaginary feelings.


I love playing a mage so that I can bring Sera around as an archer and Cole as a dagger rogue. Then I just use whichever warrior who strikes my fancy. :)

Hahaha on the "imaginary feelings!" I still get a little unnerved walking by Varric like he's staked out by Skyhold's front door to remind me that I've had no use for him. What do you tell him? "Sorry bud but even with those level 3 schematics your beloved Bianca is still no match for Sera's level 4 bow or her skill?Why don't you write another chapter of your book...there's a good fellow!"  :lol:

Yeah, I basically relegate him to Inquisition historian, haha.

When I play a mage, I use Sera as an archer, a tank (usually Blackwall) and a second melle person. When I play my Knight Enchanter, I prefer to use Sera, Cass and a support mage. When I am a warrior/tank, I like to have 3 long ranged people covering me. I usually use Sera, Varric and Dorian. I like to switch up party composition so that I get more banter.

I mostly base my party composition not around being balanced, but around story and banter. I play on casual anyways, we're all going to survive even if it's a party of 4 mages, haha.

I play on Nightmare, so I have to balance my party or I die horribly. I try to balance it so that I still get the party members that have the best banter. I recently figured out that Vivienne is a fantastic Support character with her knight enchanter specialization. But I only use her in tough fights because I dont like her picking on my gf Sera.

I make Viv stand on her balcony and only talk to her when absolutely necessary. I'm still mad at her for moving my furniture, grr.

I also prioritize story and banter, but I have to make sure to take one of each class most of the time, because there's usually something class-specific that I'd rather not have to come back to get through, like locked doors, the plethora of veilfire braziers and to a lesser extent walls to bust through, though sometimes explosive shot does the trick. If you're a mage, it's so much simpler, because the majority of class-specific stuff in this game is for them. Heck, most of the darkspawn missions in this game require a mage to resolve, since only they can seal tunnels.

 

I'm glad that top 3 covers all my bases (Sera, Dorian and Cassandra).

Vivienne moved your furniture? That's hilarious! How do you get that option?

True, by this point I generally know where I'm going and who I'll need, but in my first and second playthroughs I was constantly swapping out characters to get through certain areas.

It's her payback for low approval. She's just being a ****** and trying to irritate you.

But people messing with my stuff actually bothers me offline, it's a huge pet peeve for me, because I have everything perfectly in it's place. I remember yelling so loudly at the tv when that scene came up that I worried my family... I'm sure my inquisitor Abaeni didn't give a damn...

She is such a huge b*tch in that scene. It kind of pisses me off that you can't call her out on any of her bull crap. I would love to be able to say "Look, Lady B*tchface, the only reason you are here is because you are good with that spirit blade. So stop talking Sh*t and do your job. K thx bye."

Right? I was so goddamn angry. She even admits that she was just being petty, and that smirk she give you... I honestly wanted to shove her off the balcony.

Back the mages and ally with them and tell her that you don't like the chantry. I got it roleplaying as a very elfy elf Dalish and I told her she was wrong about mages and restoring the circles. The hate was deep on her end.  :lol: So I got the furniture scene.

 

The guy I am rp'ing now is a duddley doo-right chantry lover so naturally Viv is all sweetness and light so far. :D

So far Viv is... chilly with Inkeri, but I've only just started Champions of the Just. Essentially, Inkeri feels all the mages have made their own mess and she wants nothing to do with it. They're responsible for getting themselves out of the position they've put themselves in.

Part of me likes the personal sting of screwing over her alchemical formula, but I gotta give the sorceress credit; she takes it like a champ.

That's what I remembered doing to her last game and her cold "I'll remember this" just says it all. But as far as I was concerned she was a fired member by that point anyway. 

 

I do prefer having her on the good side of my quiz though.

Especially since you can apply something special to the masterwork slot. "Sera's Many Stingers" has a 10% chance to set off hidden blades 5 hits which happens often enough to be useful.

I was so glad she was the first companion I talked to! I can't believe I used to not like her. 

 

She's easy to misunderstand, if you don't take the time to get to really know her.

So true, and I have a bias against slang. I find it scary and confusing, and Sera is made up of 1/6 slang. :P

So confession: I actually find Varric more useful than Sera.
Even without the extra masterwork slot, dude has a better spec IMO.

That's not to say Sera is worse just that I like Artificer skills (especially Opportunity Knocks) better than the Tempest ones.

I'm like the Pascal to your Rapunzel, the Rajah to your Jasmine, the Mushu to your Mulan.

 

Oh my, that sounds a lot dirtier than I intended.
