None

If I could replace any companion with someone new though, it would be Varric.

I don't want Varric dead though, just don't see the need for him to be a companion when we already know pretty much everything about him.

[RGC_Ines]

Probably I will kill everyone with low approval ( if it will be like in DAO i.e Zevran), every pro-templar pro-chantry companion, while I will play pro-mage PC ( if it will have any meaning in DA I),  and everyone who will try to betray my PC. Also if there will be again  " sacrifice" ending I will let die this NPC who will offer himself/herself to do this ( like Alistar in DA:O)

[ohmyashlee]

Nope. Haven't even played the game and I can say with confidence that I wouldn't want to see any of the characters dead. Not as long as I could help it anyway.

 

If we're forced to make a choice I'm sure I'll grapple with it as much as I did the first time I played the original Mass Effect. Having to choose to leave either Ashley or Kaidan to die was so hard for me. Bioware writes good characters and its never fun for me to see them die. That's why when Mass Effect 2 came along ain't none of my companions died. My crew and I flew out of that Collector ship like badasses.

Depends, are they about to do something I absolutely don't want them to, and can't stop them otherwise, yes... Maybe. If not, then no. I am slightly disturbed by how hateful some can be over companions who differ of opinions and such, and angry that they couldn't kill them. 

[Exaltation]

Most probably Vivienne,since she Pro-Circle,she would dislike my Inquisitor,she probably gonna be annoying and preachy like Wynne/Leliana.

[Plato]

I generally don't kill people just because I can. They need to be horrible enough or do something terrible enough for me to even consider it. I would however like an option to punch them in the face sometimes.

[Ryzaki]

I like how you can simply dismiss companions you don't like (at least many of them). Or not recruit at all. Why go through the trouble of putting up with them the whole game, and then killing them?

 

Now this I agree with. I'm pretty sure most people wouldn't care about the killing option if BW let you get multiple GTFO choices. Nothing sucks harder than forced companions.

[Ryzaki]

Fenris is a good example here. There's a variety of ways of him leaving (and not all are malicious).

 

Yep. Fenris and Isabela are two I don't understand the desire to kill for. (I perfectly understand Merrill and Aveline though). Isabela leaves at the end of act 2 and is completely skippable (though I do wish she like Fenris had an option to tell her to bounce after her recruitment quest). Fenris can be told to bounce at least twice in act 1 alone. If you don't want to deal with them....you don't have to. Merrill and Aveline however are pretty much forced on you. (and Merrill doesn't even make much sense as a forced recruit).

Uh, don't remind me of Merrill, I can rant about her recruitment for hours. She was the only companion I considered killing just because she was so forced on me.

But you're still playing it and killing all those enemies. You already know the game is gonna have hordes of killing people and you're willing to play it. Also by this am I to assume you never killed any NPC unless you had to?

 

They're pixels. Not to mention the deaths they often get look absolutely nothing like how someone would actually die. It shouldn't have any more weight than the weather absolutely nothing changed in the real world if you kill those NPCs or not. Me killing a roach has more significance and impact.

 

Once again it's pixels. If you really can't see the difference in killing pixel people and real people that's more to do with you being unwilling or unable to do the whole real vs not real thing. Especially calling it psychopathic. Sorry but people being able to go LOL headshot doesn't psychopathic make I certainly won't go "LOL damn." in real life if someone's head explodes in front of me. I do so in games. (**** I was traumatized by my teacher's rabbit dying in front of me from swallowing a damn rubber eraser. That crap's not funny in reality.)

 

I really don't understand the people that don't realize it's a game, they're pixels and no one's actually being hurt when they die. (Especially since in many games death is the quickest and easiest way to ensure that character never pops up for them again. It's nothing more than a delete option). It's not like our PCs torture the NPCs before killing them. There's a quick often hilarious battle (that often times isn't even anything like how real life combat would look) with maybe a lol worthy game kill and that's the end of it.

 

In real life I can punch someone in the face and walk away or say something suitably cutting. Often in games I'm stuck with limited dialogue options and actions. Killing a NPC is the surest I am not pleased. response possible. And at the end of the day said NPC is a collection of pixels and code. Absolutely no one is affected by me killing a NPC in a game that annoys the hell out of me. (****** Noober)

 

I am so sick of armchair psychologists trying to judge people they've never even met based off their actions in a damn video game.

I know it's just a game. It doesn't stop me from being slightly disturbed when people seriously advocate killing someone for the slightest of reasons or mod a game so they can kill children.

[Ryzaki]

What I hate about Anders is you can dismiss him, but Varric keeps buddying up with him on his own, and then Anders ruins your life in Kirkwall eventually anyways. Even if you barely know each other.

 

Yeah it's really odd. Especially since he claims he's going to go somewhere he can't hurt anyone. I had the impression he was gonna go be a hermit. But nope.

 

Uh, don't remind me of Merrill, I can rant about her recruitment for hours. She was the only companion I considered killing just because she was so forced on me.

 

XD I feel that way about Jack. I conveniently arrange not to upgrade the ship's armor till after the CB mission.

That's fair enough but trying to armchair psychologist about someone being psychotic because of their actions in a video game is where you lose me. If it bothers you fair enough most of those things are easily avoided. (Also **** those kids in Fallout and Skyrim. Annoying assholes. That's why people mod it so you can kill them. It doesn't help that you can kill pretty much everyone but woe betide you kill a child. It's equally as silly to me as the child killing mod.)

 

And while I do have the kill children mod installed I never actually did it beyond that one time I killed one to make sure it worked. The inconsistency bugged me more than anything. I also installed the heartbreaker mod that let you kill essentials. If I wanna break the game for myself I should be able to.

Feh the only times I wonder about someone's mental health is when they seriously*and I mean seriously* advocate murdering people in-game for something as asinine as disagreeing with them.

 

And even then I usually just think they're taking the game too seriously.

I'm sure people do the same to those seriously and seriously complaining about romance options. Everything's pretty wtf inducing when taken too far.

 

My apologies if I got your stance wrong but I thought you were against the whole advocating killing companions period factor.

 

And yeah agreed. It's one thing to want and use the option. It's another to constantly champion it despite relevance and necessity.

No if I was like that I'd be banned from the Skyrim forums given how many do the DB quests.

Oh yeah D: I tried to do all the daedric artificat weapon gods quests (I forgot what they were called) But I couldn't do the beat the old man to death with the mace (my dragonborn went LOL NO turned around and left too chaotic evil for my blood) one or the betray your companion one. Only companions I had were Lydia and my dog. I couldn't I wanted that blade but the price was NOPE. (so I went and killed all those cultists instead. Screw those guys). The DB quests were much easier to do.

Grelod the Kind is the only black spot on my good guy characters.

 

Seriously screw her.

[Degenerate Rakia Time]

Id kill Cole, because **** Cole

Pfft that's not a black spot. You're doing those kids a massive favor.

 

I saw that room with the shackles. That lady can burn in Skyrim's hell equivalent.

 

Alas she dies in one hit I wanted to electrocute her ass to death.

I usually shoot/stab her when she's doing her speech.

 

My Bosmer got her right between the eyes.

[Bugsie]

I think there will likely be an option to kill a companion if they turn against you in any given quest.  You'll get the opportunity if that's what you want. I would prefer the GTFO of her now rather than killing them.

 

Also I know little to nothing of their personalities, to advocate killing them because I didn't like the look of them seems... well, a little silly perhaps?  I have to laugh at the fact people are formulating opinions on their personalities based on the scarcest of knowledge.  Perhaps characters we know, or from the books maybe, but some where all we have is paragraph or a description? Eh, people can speculate I guess.  I'll just wait and see.

[Maria Caliban]

If given the option to kill a companion, I might do so given the circumstances and how the game presents them to me.

What I would like to see is the ability to dismiss companions at any time.

 

How can you dislike a character that you know nothing about?  Is it just that you don't like the way they look...?

We have people madly in love with characters they know nothing about.

Human emotions are irrational.
