Fight 1:

Leliana. She knows her Priorities, but her most important Advantage over isabela is simply her Bow. She'll probably shoot the Pirate.

 

Fight 2:

Sigrun. Call me a Liar, but while Leliana wins because of her Bow, Isabela wears no Armour - unlike Sigrun, who could possibly survive even being hit in weak Spots and still reach Nathaniel to own him in Melee Combat.

 

Fight 3:

Sten. His Size and Strength Advantage will win him this Battle without a Doubt.

 

Fight 4:

Oghren. Loghain may be a better Strategist, but if Oghren is anything then a Fighter to be feared. He survived being married to branka, he'll survive Loghain.

 

Fight 5:

Wynne. I still say, Merill lacks the Guts to go all the Way. Wynne, on the other hand, HAS dealt successfully with Demons and Blood mages more or less on her own when the Circle of Ferelden was invaded and is much more eperienced than Merill. And she has Faith.

 

Fight 6:

Morrigan. I hate to admit it, but yes, there is no Way Anders would beat Morrigan, especially if he doesn#t have Justice/Vengeance to support him.

 

Fight 7:

Shale. Cailan lost to an Ogre. An Ogre lost to Shale. Quod erat demonstrandum.

 

Fight 8:

Zathrian. He knows blood magic so well, that he was able to make himself nearly immortal and cursed countless people to be Werewolves. And he hunted Thugs like Jarvia for more than 300 Years. She does not stand a Chance.

Fight 1: Leliana taunts Isabella about her promiscuity.  Isabella responds back with the fact she's slept with both the King AND Queen of Feralden.  At the same time.  Leliana is mentally stunned by this realization.  Isabella stabs her.

 

Fight 2: Howe starts his usual mopey battle stance, Sigrun responds with an off the cuff happy remark about being dark and gloomy, throwing Nate off his game.  Sigrun stabs him.

 

Fight 3: Aveline does her best battering ram assault on the Qunari.  She looks up to see what damage she's done.  Sten just looks at her and says No.  Sten wins.

 

Fight 4: Oghren tries to embarrass Loghain with his drunken attitude.  Loghain is too busy stabbing Oghren to notice.  Loghain wins.

 

Fight 5: Wynne confronts Merrill over her blood magic use.  Merrill responds with an innocent and completely clueless response.  Mentally stunned by the elf's naivety, Wynne falls prey to Merrill's magic.

 

Fight 6: Anders tries to set off Morrigan with his quick wit.  Morrigan is too busy setting him on fire to notice.  Morrigan wins.

 

Fight 7: Shale's belief in the squishiness of humanity does not go unrewarded.  Shale wins.

 

Fight 8: Jarvia learns the hard way about Keeper magic as she gets to sit there in the cage of roots while Zathrian keeps blowing her up.

Fight 1

Leliana - She is both a Seeker and a Bard, hardened, and has Marjolaine's Bow

vs

Isabela - She has a ship and crew again

 

Isabela, she would tell Leliana that Andraste wanted to talk to her and while she was waiting for the voice of Andraste to peak to her Isabela would slyly give the killing blow.

 

Fight 2

Nathaniel - He is a Warden, owns a part of Amaranthine and has the Howe Bow

vs 

Sigrun - She's still a Warden and has had Legion of the Dead training

 

Sigrun, Nathaniel not used to fighting short people would keep aiming high with his bow wile Sigrun chopped him down at the knees.  Nats last words would be "I deserved more!'

 

Fight 3

Aveline - She's Kirkwall's Guard-Captain and has her own Shield/Gift

vs

Sten - He's the new Arishok and has Asalaa

 

Aveline, Sten is a glass cannon while Aveline is like a huge brick wall.

 

Fight 4

Oghren - Is a Warden and trainer of new recruits

vs

Loghain - Is a Warden and still has his training as a Fereldan general

 

Oghren.  If my stupid warden could best him in one on one combat Oghren would make mince meat out of him.

 

Fight 5

Wynne - She has the Spirit of Faith inside her and has Annerin's Token

vs

Merrill (DA2) - Is a Keeper's First/Blood Mage with knowledge from the Eluvian she fixed

 

Merrill, her naive charm would easily put Wynne off her guard and calling on a few demons and using blood magic would win the day.

 

Fight 6

Morrigan - Is a Shapeshifter and has both of Flemeth's Grimoires, not carrying the OGB

vs 

Anders (Awakening) - A Warden with Circle training

 

Morrigan, the 1st Anders was a wimp,she'd wipe the floor with him.

 

Fight 7

Cailan - King of Ferelden, has had training from Loghain in personal combat

vs

Shale - Has had her memory restored and she is equipped with Brilliant Crystals

 

Shale! Shale beat the ogre in the last round, Calian got squished by an ogre at Ostagar therefore.....

 

Fight 8

Zathrian - A Keeper/Blood Mage, 3000 years of experience

vs

Jarvia - She is a Carta Assassin/Boss

 

Zathrian, Jarvia is nothing but a small bully.  Zathrian is a big bully with a chip on his shoulder.

Fight 1

Leliana - She is both a Seeker and a Bard, hardened, and has Marjolaine's Bow

vs

Isabela - She has a ship and crew again

 

Tough choice... I vote Leliana because she seems deceptively capable, far and away more deadly than the impression I got of her in DA:O. I think she would disarm Isabela with her personality before moving in for the kill.

 

Fight 2

Nathaniel - He is a Warden, owns a part of Amaranthine and has the Howe Bow

vs 

Sigrun - She's still a Warden and has had Legion of the Dead training

 

She seems sturdier than Nathaniel, in spirit as well as form.

 

Fight 3

Aveline - She's Kirkwall's Guard-Captain and has her own Shield/Gift

vs

Sten - He's the new Arishok and has Asalaa

 

To be an Arishok you have to be a certifiable badass, and by Qunari standards that means a lot.  Hawke is one of the few people capable of going toe-to-toe with someone who achieved that rank.

 

Fight 4

Oghren - Is a Warden and trainer of new recruits

vs

Loghain - Is a Warden and still has his training as a Fereldan general

 

Gotta go with my bro Oghren here.  I just have a feeling.

 

Fight 5

Wynne - She has the Spirit of Faith inside her and has Annerin's Token

vs

Merrill (DA2) - Is a Keeper's First/Blood Mage with knowledge from the Eluvian she fixed

 

I didn't vote for either of these people in the last round, so its a bit of a toss-up.  I still don't think Wynne is much of a fighter though.

 

Fight 6

Morrigan - Is a Shapeshifter and has both of Flemeth's Grimoires, not carrying the OGB

vs 

Anders (Awakening) - A Warden with Circle training

 

Still obvious.  Morrigan is sure of herself and ruthless.  Couple that with her Flemeth lineage and I'd bet on her against most people.

 

Fight 7

Cailan - King of Ferelden, has had training from Loghain in personal combat

vs

Shale - Has had her memory restored and she is equipped with Brilliant Crystals

 

Same reason as I voted before, Shale is a veritable tank without the bulk.

 

Fight 8

Zathrian - A Keeper/Blood Mage, 3000 years of experience

vs

Jarvia - She is a Carta Assassin/Boss

 

Zathrian has a clear advantage in this fight.

Fight 1

Leliana - She is both a Seeker and a Bard, hardened, and has Marjolaine's Bow

vs

Isabela - She has a ship and crew again

 

Leliana wins cos she could sneak aboard and kill Isabella

 

Fight 2

Nathaniel - He is a Warden, owns a part of Amaranthine and has the Howe Bow

vs 

Sigrun - She's still a Warden and has had Legion of the Dead training

 

Sigrun, cos I think she could sneak up on Nathanial.

 

Fight 3

Aveline - She's Kirkwall's Guard-Captain and has her own Shield/Gift

vs

Sten - He's the new Arishok and has Asalaa

 

Sten - he's more a damage dealer, and Aveline's a tank. He'd eventually wear down her defenses, but she'd never get strong enough to hurt him (mostly bs, this one's tough)

 

Fight 4

Oghren - Is a Warden and trainer of new recruits

vs

Loghain - Is a Warden and still has his training as a Fereldan general

 

Loghain, cos Ohgren's too drunk, and Loghain has way more experience.

 

Fight 5

Wynne - She has the Spirit of Faith inside her and has Annerin's Token

vs

Merrill (DA2) - Is a Keeper's First/Blood Mage with knowledge from the Eluvian she fixed

 

Wynne, cos her spirit of faith keeps her alive. She's also a lot wiser.

 

Fight 6

Morrigan - Is a Shapeshifter and has both of Flemeth's Grimoires, not carrying the OGB

vs 

Anders (Awakening) - A Warden with Circle training

 

Morrigan, cos she has a stronger offensive suite of spells, and is more willing to kill

 

Fight 7

Cailan - King of Ferelden, has had training from Loghain in personal combat

vs

Shale - Has had her memory restored and she is equipped with Brilliant Crystals

 

Shale, cos Cailan got killed by an ogre. He's not that great.

 

Fight 8

Zathrian - A Keeper/Blood Mage, 3000 years of experience

vs

Jarvia - She is a Carta Assassin/Boss

 

Zathrian - cos of experience

Fight 1: Leliana. She's more experienced and more versatile.

Fight 2: Sigrun. She's more used to fighting for her life and better trained imo.

Fight 3: Sten. Size advantage, Reach advantage, and I would guess more experienced.

Fight 4: Loghain. Close but Lohgain probably won't be drunk so I'll go with him.

Fight 5: Merrill. She has blood magic, and Wynne has to be careful not to overexert herself or she'll take herself out.

Fight 6: Morrigan. Trained by Flemeth.

Fight 7: Shale. She's a moving rock.

Fight 8: Zathrian. Blood magic ain't no joke.

Round 2:

 

1 - Leliana. A hardened Leliana, who has been to the Deep Roads and Orzammar with the Warden, would have an advantage over Isabela in an environment that has to be about as unfamiliar to the Rivaini as it gets.

 

2 - Nathaniel.  Needing 4 Wardens just to capture him proves he's a scrapper in addition to his ranged abilities, granting him a slight advantage over the perky dead woman.

 

3 - Sten.  Eventually, one of his swings would just break Aveline's shield (or the arm it's strapped to).

 

4 - Loghain.  Though in round one I picked Oghren to win his match and Loghain to lose his, I think Loghain would take this one because he actually bothers with tactics, while Oghren is more charge in and swing.

 

5 - Merrill.  I think Daisy would get the upper hand here because Wynne has had little exposure to Dalish magic, while Merrill has seen Anders and possibly Circle Bethany in action.

 

6 - Morrigan.  Anders's Circle training can't begin to compensate for Morrigan's shapeshifting abilities and knowledge gleaned from Flemeth and her grimoires.

 

7 - Shale.  If an Ogre can pick up Cailan and squeeze him to death, so can Shale.

 

8 - Zathrian.  Encountering the leader of a criminal cartel reminds Zathrian of the men who killed his family, as well as the bandits who held Lanaya.  Game Over.

1 - Leliana - just generally gives more of an impression of lethality, range gives her a great advantage against unarmored Isabela. 

2 - Nathaniel - both capable of dishing out great damage, Nathaniel could take less punishment but more gives more out. Close but Nathaniel would win

3 - Sten - both strong warriors, but Sten making Arishok just seems to put him on another level from Aveline. His strength would overwhelm her defence

4 - Loghain - Loghain's intelligence would give him the advantage over the berserker Oghren

5 - Merrill - Wynne always struck me as belonging in more of a supporting role. Coupled with lore emphasising power of blood magic means Merrill wins

6 - Morrigan - no contest, Morrigan would overwhelm Anders, knows stronger magic, more cunning, more powerful

7 - Shale - again, no competition. Cailan was crushed by an ogre, Shale would crush him as well. 

8 - Zathrian - yet again, easy victory. Zathrian has millennia of experience in magic and tactics, Jarvia is merely a thug with an over-inflated ego

Isabela because she has more experience in one-on-one (lol, 'one-on-one'.  * snickers *) duels than Leliana.

 

Sigrun because Nathaniel isn't used to fighting at close range and because she's a Legionnaire Scout.

 

Sten because reach and power.

 

Oghren for similar reasons (especially when in Berserk mode).

 

Merrill because of her blood magic.  It was a tough choice, though.

 

Morrigan.  I don't think an explanation is needed.

 

Shale.  Same.

 

Jarvia because she'll just stealth and stab Zathrian in the back before going into stealth again.  She'll probably just repeat again and again until she wins.

Fight 1

 

Leliana - She is both a Seeker and a Bard, hardened, and has Marjolaine's Bow

vs

Isabela - She has a ship and crew again

 

Lelian-she is a more versatile fighter than Isabela

 

Fight 2

Nathaniel - He is a Warden, owns a part of Amaranthine and has the Howe Bow

vs 

Sigrun - She's still a Warden and has had Legion of the Dead training

 

Sigrun-she is already dead. Cannot kill the dead.

 

Fight 3

Aveline - She's Kirkwall's Guard-Captain and has her own Shield/Gift

vs

Sten - He's the new Arishok and has Asalaa

 

Aveline-she will be able to outlast Sten in the fight

 

Fight 4

Oghren - Is a Warden and trainer of new recruits

vs

Loghain - Is a Warden and still has his training as a Fereldan general

 

Oghren-Loghain will overestimate Oghren due to alcohol on his breath. Oghren can take on anybody while being totally drunk.

 

Fight 5

Wynne - She has the Spirit of Faith inside her and has Annerin's Token

vs

Merrill (DA2) - Is a Keeper's First/Blood Mage with knowledge from the Eluvian she fixed

 

Wynne-Wynne has faced more threats than she can count

 

Fight 6

Morrigan - Is a Shapeshifter and has both of Flemeth's Grimoires, not carrying the OGB

Morrigan-no contest here

Fight 1

Leliana - She is both a Seeker and a Bard, hardened, and has Marjolaine's Bow-Wins. Not just for the aforementioned reasons but because Bards are trained and while Isabela is a badass she is trained as a pirate and Leliana has been trained to protect the Divine.

vs

Isabela - She has a ship and crew again

 

Fight 2

Nathaniel - He is a Warden, owns a part of Amaranthine and has the Howe Bow-Judging by what I saw of him in the optional mission you get for him in DA2 if he survived Awakening, he has become pretty awesome and he's really ruthless. He loves to win and Sigrun while also a Warden does not have the same ruthlessness that Nathaniel has.

vs 

Sigrun - She's still a Warden and has had Legion of the Dead training

 

Fight 3

Aveline - She's Kirkwall's Guard-Captain and has her own Shield/Gift

vs

Sten - He's the new Arishok and has Asalaa-He's a Qunari that travelled and fought with the Warden and he's got his honor back. He's not stopping for anything. His training and skill are not to be reckoned with no matter how awesome Aveline is.

 

Fight 4

Oghren - Is a Warden and trainer of new recruits-He hates Loghain for his dishonor of Cailan and the Warden as much as the Warden does. Also Loghain would probably underestimate Oghren because of how he acts and drinks and that would be Loghains downfall.

vs

Loghain - Is a Warden and still has his training as a Fereldan general

 

Fight 5

Wynne - She has the Spirit of Faith inside her and has Annerin's Token-She's older, wiser, and more controlled. She is a healer and is trained much more proficiently than Merrill.

vs

Merrill (DA2) - Is a Keeper's First/Blood Mage with knowledge from the Eluvian she fixed

 

Fight 6

Morrigan - Is a Shapeshifter and has both of Flemeth's Grimoires, not carrying the OGB-If this were DA2 Anders I would probably be voting for him but as it is not he was not half as strong in Awakening as he was in DA2. Morrigan was considerably strong all on her own in Origins but with Flemeths Grimoire she is much stronger and more knowledgeable.

vs 

Anders (Awakening) - A Warden with Circle training

 

Fight 7

Cailan - King of Ferelden, has had training from Loghain in personal combat

vs

Shale - Has had her memory restored and she is equipped with Brilliant Crystals-Cailan would not fare well against this one. She's stronger, bigger, and Cailan wasn't the brightest bulb in the bunch.

 

Fight 8

Zathrian - A Keeper/Blood Mage, 3000 years of experience-A normal assassin would never make it against a 3000 year old Mage. Just wouldn't. This is probably the least "fair" of any of the fights lol

vs

Jarvia - She is a Carta Assassin/Boss

1: Isabela, because she's just... better.
2: N/A, didn't play Awakening.
3: Sten, because he's way too strong, even for Aveline.
4: Loghain, because Wynne was the only one I could beat him with solo.
5: Wynne, because Wynne is the best mage ever.
6: Morrigan, because she's still a shapeshifter.
7: Shale, no contest.
8: Jarvia, because she's a dwarf, and thus magic-resistant, and also an assassin, the best rogue class

1. Leliana - has a bow and knows the usual rogue tricks Isabela will throw down.

2. Nathanial -  Has a bow, more maneuverable and uses poison. Sigrun is also more likely to make a stupid mistake because of the legion's no fear of death thing 

3. Sten - more offensively geared

4. Oghren - Loghain doesn't have much defense for his feet/lower legs and oghren has a better shot at them.

5. Merril - more offensive spells and blood magic. Wynne can heal herself but doesn't have much in offense and as soon as she runs oom she done

6. Morrigan - has had access to a lot more power 

7. shale - made of stone

8. Zathrian - mage

Fight 1

Leliana - Pirates are disorganized. Sorry pirates.

 

Fight 2

Nathaniel - Maybe? He seems like a survivor and Sigrun is already dead, so...

 

Fight 3

Sten - He's HUGE. 

 

Fight 4

Loghain - Probably too smart to be beat by a drunken berserker.

 

Fight 5

Wynne - She's dealt with blood mages before, she'll win.

 

Fight 6

Morrigan - This fight almost seems unfair.

 

Fight 7

Shale - SQUISH goes the King.

 

Fight 8

Zathrian - No contest.

Leliana - She is both a Seeker and a Bard, hardened, and has Marjolaine's Bow
vs
Isabela - She has a ship and crew again

Fight 2

Sigrun - just generally tougher, would outlast Nathaniel

Fight 4
Oghren - Is a Warden and trainer of new recruits
vs
Loghain - Is a Warden and still has his training as a Fereldan general
 
Loghain - I hate him but his years of fighting in the civil war have made him both extremely competent and utterly ruthless

Only two of those deviated from my round one prospects. If these were actual proving matches I might have made a tidy profit.

Fight 1
Leliana vs Isabela: A tough one, and one I give to Leliana by a hair's breadth due to her tenacity. I feel that Isabela would have her broken and bleeding before finally coming undone. I mean, Leliana went from being left to bleed out in a locked cell and fighting her way out, possibly being left for dead atop a frozen mountain peak only to come back to be the (something) hand of the Divine, and we saw/heard of her 

Spoiler
in the latest gameplay demo for Inquisition.
 
Fight 2
Nathaniel vs Sigrun: Another tough fight I think, but when it comes down to it Sigrun is a battle-hardened warrior with nothing to lose and Nathaniel is still a nobleman's son. A skilled fighter, but without the real-word experience Sigrun has under her belt.
 
Fight 3
Aveline vs Sten: A long battle, and like I did with Alistair before her, I have to dismiss my personal affection for the character and choose Sten. She would keep him on her toes for sure, striking him a few times without taking any major damage. But eventually I feel like Sten would create a opening for her to go on to the offensive, take the hit, and critically injuring her when she's up close and essentially defenceless. A risky move, and potentially a fatal one, but Sten knows his body's limits and what he can and can't come back from.
 
Fight 4
Oghren vs Loghain: He never survives in any of my playthroughs, but I also never have Oghren duel him. Oghren never impressed me much as a warrior to the same point as Alistair and Sten. He might be a Berserker, but Loghain is tenacious, as well as a renowned tactician and able warrior. I'll be cheering for you Oghren, but I'm not backing that up with coin.
 
Fight 5
Wynne vs Merrill (DA2): Another toughie, and I want to give it to Wynne. But if we take previous battles into account, I think her fight with Anders might leave Wynne running a bit empty, and she would take more pity on Merrill than she would Anders I think, blood mage or no. Plus a Merrill that has fixed the Eluvian would probably be a lot less hesitant of a fighter than one that destroyed it. Wynne has shown time and time again though that she has a lot of strength left in her, so I won't be surprised if she takes this one out. But my money is on Merrill.
 
Fight 6
Morrigan vs Anders (Awakening): Is it even a question? Awakening Anders is naive and foolhardy. He probably lasts longer than Morrigan would anticipate, but he never gains any ground on her.
 
Fight 7
Cailan vs Shale: Shale hears of how Cailan met his end the first time and tries her hand at recreating it. Any potential satisfaction is lost when she brushes off his first swing and breaks him as one would a ****** for their soup. If she's going to be killing something so trivial, it may as well be a pigeon.
 
Fight 8
Zathrian vs Jarvia : Jarvia is a big deal in dust town, but she has no real experience I feel against mages, and certainly not a blood mage of Zathrian's calibre. She might have a resistance to magic, but not demon claws or undead blades.

Why do I have a feeling it's going to come down to Leliana vs Morrigan? You put them on opposing sides of the line up on purpose, didn't you? :P

EDIT: Just realised that "c*r*a*c*k*e*r" is an expletive. I understand why, but still, hilarity.

ROUND 2

 

Fight 1

Leliana. Once again, the most profound, seasoned rogue. Isabela is a great duelist, but limited to that style (and doesn't wear armor...). Leliana is more versatile in various rogue fighting styles, so Leliana it is.

 

Fight 2

Nathaniel. He shows more cunning and perception than Sigrun, who is basically a tanky rogue. Though it will be tough and a battle of attrition, I believe Nathaniel would get the upper hand in the end and neutralize Sigrun.

 

Fight 3

Sten. Although I originally disagree and believe Fenris would've beaten Sten, AND I'm 1000% sure Alistair could've beaten Aveline. Really surprised by this turn of events. Anyway, I'm quite sure Sten could defeat Aveline. Sten wasn't just a soldier in the Qunari military, he was a prominent figure. Even more so now that he's been promoted to Arishok. I don't think Aveline could've last in a fight with the DA:2 Arishok, nor do I think she could last in a fight with the new one. She would last it out for a while, but ultimately be crushed by Sten's force.

 

Fight 4

Loghain. While originally chose Justice over Loghain, when it comes to Loghain vs Oghren, it becomes a matter of experience and rank. Both have many many years of war experience and military prominence. However, in the end, I see Loghain as the more wise soldier, tiring Oghren out from his Berserker rage and capitalizing when he sees an opening, such as the brilliant strategist that he is. Loghain, without question.

 

Fight 5

Wynne. More magical talent, experience, and is technically an abomination. Merrill may have the power of an abomination (blood magic), but she does not actually utilize its form. Ultimately it comes down to variation and experience, where Wynne has both over Merrill.

 

Fight 6

Morrigan. She's been an apostate her whole life, has varied and forgotten magics under her sleeve, and is more experienced in combat than Anders, who at this point is fresh out of spending his whole life at the circle. Experience/arsenal takes the win here.

 

Fight 7

Shale. Shale was able to the defeat the Ogre in the previous round, while Cailan wasn't able to defeat the Ogre at Ostagar...sadly.

 

Fight 8

Zathrian. I can't believe Jarvia even made it to the second round...she's nothing but a glorified street rat. You think she can match up to a powerful Blood Mage that has several centuries worth of wisdom, power, and experience? My ass. Easiest and quickest match of the entire second round.

Fight 1

Leliana - She is both a Seeker and a Bard, hardened, and has Marjolaine's Bow. She keeps herself trained and uses her skills often working for the divine and with the Seekers

vs

Isabela - She has a ship and crew again

 

Fight 2

Nathaniel - He is a Warden, owns a part of Amaranthine and has the Howe Bow. Believe he has the better skills. He was able to handle the darkspawn while in the Deep Roads in DA2.

vs 

Sigrun - She's still a Warden and has had Legion of the Dead training

 

Fight 3

Aveline - She's Kirkwall's Guard-Captain and has her own Shield/Gift

vs

Sten - He's the new Arishok and has Asalaa. He is Sten.

 

Fight 4

Oghren - Is a Warden and trainer of new recruits

vs

Loghain - Is a Warden and still has his training as a Fereldan general. His experience will lead him to the win. 

 

Fight 5

Wynne - She has the Spirit of Faith inside her and has Annerin's Token. I stand by my previous reason for win. Do not let the "old" lady fool you. She is a tough broad with powerful skills.

vs

Merrill (DA2) - Is a Keeper's First/Blood Mage with knowledge from the Eluvian she fixed

 

Fight 6

Morrigan - Is a Shapeshifter and has both of Flemeth's Grimoires, not carrying the OGB. Morrigan has deadlier spells than Awakening Anders.

vs 

Anders (Awakening) - A Warden with Circle training

 

Fight 7

Cailan - King of Ferelden, has had training from Loghain in personal combat

vs

Shale - Has had her memory restored and she is equipped with Brilliant Crystals. Oh pulease, no explanantion is needed...

 

Fight 8

Zathrian - A Keeper/Blood Mage, 3000 years of experience. He is a skilled mage and lived for a long time and I feel that gives him the edge to win.

vs

Jarvia - She is a Carta Assassin/Boss

Fight 1

Leliana - The bow gives her a clear advantage, especially since Isabela doesn't wear much in the way of armor. 

 

Fight 2

Sigrun - Unlike Isabela Sigrun is heavily armored, which would let her close the distance and get to Nathaniel. In close combat Sigrun would take him down without any problems. 

 

Fight 3

Sten - I think the fight would last quite a bit, but Sten would eventually win because he has the advantage of reach and size.

 

Fight 4

Loghain - They're both lifelong fighters, but Oghren is too hot-headed and would just charge Loghain without thought for strategy. 

 

Fight 5

Merrill (DA2) - Wynne fills more of a support role, while Merril's a full on offensive mage with her primal spells, keeper abilities + blood magic. 

 

Fight 6

Morrigan - No contest against Awakening Anders, she's just a lot more powerful.

 

Fight 7

Shale - Cailan didn't fare too well against the Ogre, while Shale squished him in the previous round. 

 

Fight 8

Jarvia - With her innate magic resistance and assassin training I think she'd take down Zathrian pretty easily.

Fight 1. Leliana because of her ranged attacks

 

Fight 2. Sigrun, but this is just a toss up for me.

 

Fight 3. Sten, he has the strength of the Qunari and the reach of a two handed sword.

 

Fight 4. Oghren because he can go into berserker mode and ignore all pain.

 

Fight 5. Merrill, I think it would be hard fought but I think she would win due to her offensive magic.

 

Fight 6. Morrigan, shes just far more powerful.

 

Fight 7. Shale, shes made of rock and can crush most everything in her sight.

 

Fight 8. Zathrian, because he's a powerful mage.

Fight 1

Isabela - Her duelist expertise, savvy and will to survive would give her a slight edge against Leliana. She's too unpredictable even for a master bard.

 

Fight 2

Sigrun - Howe wouldn't stand a chance against someone with Legion training.

 

Fight 3

Sten - Aveline is a great and fierce warrior but Sten was born a warrior. He simply have too much skill, size and experience for Aveline.

 

Fight 4

Loghain - Too experienced to lose. He would use tactics and fight smart.

 

Fight 5

Merrill - I feel Merrill would win because of her experience with blood magic, it being such a sinister school of magic.

 

Fight 6

Morrigan - It's not even a competition. Raised by Flemeth, with the grimoires not many people on the list would stand a chance. 

 

Fight 7

Shale - Would have a stomp fest. For all his training and armour he would not stand a chance.

 

Fight 8

Zathrian - As much a I value rogues abilities in combat I think Zathrian has too much knowledge and experience. He would not have much trouble at all.

ROUND 2

 

 

Fight 1

Leliana - She is both a Seeker and a Bard, hardened, and has Marjolaine's Bow

vs

Isabela - She has a ship and crew again

-LELIANA- Isabela thrives at close range, but she'll never get there intact, and Leliana is versed enough to finish off a wounded opponent if she does. Isabela's crew can't help in the arena.

 

Fight 2

Nathaniel - He is a Warden, owns a part of Amaranthine and has the Howe Bow

vs 

Sigrun - She's still a Warden and has had Legion of the Dead training

-SIGRUN- She has more experience, is extremely tough and skilled as the lone survivor of who knows how many legionaires, and makes for a small, well defended target on the move. Nathaniel's guile can't save him.

 

Fight 3

Aveline - She's Kirkwall's Guard-Captain and has her own Shield/Gift

vs

Sten - He's the new Arishok and has Asalaa

-STEN- He's stronger, tougher, more experienced, and smarter. Speaking for lore, not invincitank gameplay.

 

Fight 4

Oghren - Is a Warden and trainer of new recruits

vs

Loghain - Is a Warden and still has his training as a Fereldan general

-OGHREN- Oghren and Loghain are both very experienced and skilled, but Loghain's age has caught up to him. He loses the Landsmeet duel no matter who faces him.

 

Fight 5

Wynne - She has the Spirit of Faith inside her and has Annerin's Token

vs

Merrill (DA2) - Is a Keeper's First/Blood Mage with knowledge from the Eluvian she fixed

-MERRILL- Her blood magic doesn't help her much here, but her Keeper's magic does. Wynne's powers have been waning a long time at this point.

 

Fight 6

Morrigan - Is a Shapeshifter and has both of Flemeth's Grimoires, not carrying the OGB

vs 

Anders (Awakening) - A Warden with Circle training

-MORRIGAN- Morrigan's possibly the best trained and most powerful mage in Thedas not named Flemeth. Anders is beyond circle mages, but he's not on Morrigan's level.

 

Fight 7

Cailan - King of Ferelden, has had training from Loghain in personal combat

vs

Shale - Has had her memory restored and she is equipped with Brilliant Crystals

-SHALE- She's much tougher than that ogre.

 

Fight 8

Zathrian - A Keeper/Blood Mage, 3000 years of experience

vs

Jarvia - She is a Carta Assassin/Boss

-ZATHRIAN- Jarvia has advantages against direct magic as a dwarf, but not the forces of nature Zathrian can throw at her. Her only chance is if the arena is very far underground.

Fight 1

Leliana - She is both a Seeker and a Bard, hardened, and has Marjolaine's Bow

vs

Isabela - She has a ship and crew again

Leliana: Both are crafty and skilled rogues, but in the end Isabela's impulsiveness would let Leliana catch her in a situation where an archers reach would win out.

 

Fight 2

Nathaniel - He is a Warden, owns a part of Amaranthine and has the Howe Bow

vs 

Sigrun - She's still a Warden and has had Legionarrow-10x10.png of the Dead training

Nathaniel: Much as the above, Nath is a smarter person and would sooner or later get the drop on Sigrun.

 

Fight 3

Aveline - She's Kirkwall's Guard-Captain and has her own Shieldarrow-10x10.png/Gift

vs

Sten - He's the new Arishok and has Asalaa

Sten: He got reach, Aveline is unfortunately lacking in flexibility.

Fight 4

Oghren - Is a Warden and trainer of new recruits

vs

Loghain - Is a Warden and still has his training as a Fereldan general

Loghain: He could bare Oghrens repeated assaults long enough to find wear him down.

 

Fight 5

 

Wynne - She has the Spirit of Faith inside her and has Annerin's Token

vs

Merrill (DA2) - Is a Keeperarrow-10x10.png's First/Blood Mage with knowledge from the Eluvian she fixed

Merril: Offense is good defense, especially if defense is the only thing the enemy got.

 

Fight 6

Morrigan - Is a Shapeshifter and has both of Flemeth's Grimoires, not carrying the OGB

vs 

Anders (Awakening) - A Warden with Circle training

Morrigan: Moma didn't raise no loser.

 

Fight 7

Cailan - King of Ferelden, has had training from Loghain in personalarrow-10x10.png combat

vs

Shale - Has had her memory restored and she is equippedarrow-10x10.png with Brilliant Crystals

Shale: Ogre beat Cailan, Shale beat Ogre. Q.E.D.

 

Fight 8

Zathrian - A Keeper/Blood Mage, 3000 years of experience

vs

Jarvia - She is a Carta Assassin/Boss

Zathrian: Hm, if Jarvia can get close she might have a chance, but Zathrian has showed that he is willing to take radical actions.
