Now I know the obvious answer is "I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO ADVENTURING WITH EVERYONE." Which I plan on doing myself as well! However, I can't help but find myself looking forward to adventuring with certain companions a little more than others. So my question to you guys is which companions are you most looking forward to adventuring with?

 

You can answer in any way you see fit- from most excited to least excited, etc.etc.

 

You can also judge by whatever merits you desire: character arc, class, impact on the Inquisition, looks, whatever.

 

Also let it be noted that just because you are more excited for a certain companion doesn't mean you aren't excited for the other companions, or that you don't plan on using them. I know I'll be rotating and incorporating my party as organically as possible, despite having favorites.

 

I gotta say the companions I'm most looking forward to adventuring with (and will probably consist of my main party) are Cassandra, Iron Bull, Sera, and Dorian.

 

-Dorian instantly intrugies me considering he is a mage (I always enjoy mages), but also an outcast from Tevinter. It doesn't get more saucy and interesting than that! The fact that he's incredibly smart/witty, in addition to be powerful and confident, makes me more excited to have him in my party.

 

-Cassandra has intrugied me since DA:2. I love me a strong willed gal. Always have, always will. Helps that she compliments my main Inquisitor so well by basically being a tank, whereas I'm a mage. She's also sexy, I won't deny that.

 

-Sera and Iron Bull are not what I expected, and this is a good thing. They've both turned out to be very interesting, fun characters that hold noble ideals. Definitely very excited for them.

 

I'd like to dedicate this little excerpt on characters I'm indifferent about. Here's why:

 

-Vivenne. I was very much looking forward to Vivenne earlier, but when the Stand Together Inquisition trailer came out, I started to get second thoughts. It seemed like Bioware did a 180 on her character. She came off a powerful mage with noble intentions that advocated for peace, yet in the trailer the Female Inquisitor said "...but what are her true intentions" as Vivenne smiled sinister-ly. That left me salty, I thought we established she plans to use her power and influence for peace and compromise. This left me feeling indifferent about her character. 

 

-Varric. I know that so many of you claim Varric is going to be the constant party member who is never switched out, but I promise that won't be the case. As much as we all love Varric and recognize him as a bro, we're probably going to use our other companions more often. I've come to the conclusion that this is possible because of a couple of reasons: he is old and it's natural that we're more interested in meeting/learning new companions. Varric is like your old pal who will always be there for you, yet you're always slightly more enticed to meet and explore with new people. Also, Varric's influence/usefulness in the Inquisition isn't as prominent other companions. Every companion (except maybe Cole) contributes greatly to the Inquisition in some way, and represents a certain kind of "people" in the process:

 

Iron Bull- Qunari/Mercenaries Sera- Commoners Dorian-Tevinter Idealists Cassandra-Seekers Vivenne-Mages/The Circle Solas-Apostates Blackwall-Grey Wardens

 

Yet Varric doesn't represent anyone. Could he possibly represent the Dwarven Merchants Guild? Or maybe even The Carta? it's possible, but I doubt it. The Dwarven Merchants guild wouldn't really rally under the Inquisition by Varric's word, for they don't even respect him much. He's a surfacer, his family name is disgraced, and he doesn't participate in their endeavors like he's expected. With the carta, it's established that he used to have dealings with them, but that is no longer the case. Even so, would mercenary dwarves really be that instrumental to the Inquisition? Iron Bull already has the mercenary aspect down...

 

Even in combat, Varric isn't too prominent. He's not as talented or versatile as the other companions we have, that's for sure. Just him and Bianca. While entertaining, not nearly as vital as what the other companions offer.

 

I love Varric like a bro, but I just don't feel he'll contribute to the Inquisition as much as the other companions will. Therefore, I'm not as excited for him like I am for others.

[PinkDiamondstl]

Vivenne.

[Pateu]

Blackwall, Varric, Cass.

[SerCambria358]

Cass, Blackwall, Iron Bull, Sera, maybe Viv

[Cypher0020]

Varric, Iron Bull, Cassandra

 

Prob one of my 1st party tryouts 

[grombie]

Cole. I feel sorry for him and want to know more about his character.

[Deflagratio]

Blackwall, though I have reservations that he might be a bit too dour a fellow in the long run. The Sera-Cassandra-Blackwall-Inquisitor concept art still paints an image of a character that doesn't let his sullen occupation get in the way of a good time with friends. Not sure how reflective it is of how he is in game though, I hope it's spot-on though.

[Vaseldwa]

As of right now

 

Cole, Varric, IB, Dorian, Blackwall

 

idk about solas yet!

[Lorien19]

Cole and Solas,won't lie I find everything fade and elven related completely and utterly fascinating!

As for the rest I can't really choose  because they're all so intriguing.These two however stand out for the reasons I mentioned above...

[Chaia]

Right now - Varric (can't wait to travel with him again, always had him with Hawke, although that probably won't happen with the Inquisitor) Iron Bull, Dorian and Sera.

 

Cassandra and Vivienne also, but just not as much.

 

 

I'll 'adventure' with all companions at some point to see what there like (even Cole although I found him realllllly irritating in Asunder) to be honest unless I'm about to go into a big boss fight like Flemeth I'm not the type of player that sits there and think 'right I'll need two rogues' etc (even in ME) I just play the game with the characters I really like to travel with. 

One of the main reasons in general I like BW games more then others (like DA) is because of the characters/companions, not fantastic gameplay; the fact the the gameplay this time round is looking good is just thankfully a bonus 

[Spaghetti_Ninja]

Top of the list: Cassandra, Varric, Dorian, Iron Bull.

 

Not likely to use in my first 2 games: Sera, Cole.

 

Still indifferent about the rest.

[Cespar]

Varric- I want to have another fellow dwarf along with me, and of course Varric is one of my favorite character. I want to see how much he has changed, and how he feels about being around new people. Also, to have a little tie back to Hawke!
Vivienne- I was into her when she was first showed off! I started to like her even more when we got to know more about her. I like the confidence, stands for no one crap, and wants to get the job done no matter what. I want her on the journey to get to know more her, and the reason why she's the way she is.
Cole- I like the underdog, and he fits in that character archetype. He is such a mystery in a lot ways, and I want to unravel that mystery along the journey. Plus, just reading Asunder made me like his naive and childlike personality.

[katling73]

Varric, Vivienne and Dorian. That's for my first playthrough. I always do a S&B warrior first off so they'll fit in well in that party. Though I may swap out one of the mages for Blackwall or Cassandra, depending on how things go. But the idea of having Vivienne and Dorian in the same party sounds awesome for the banter alone.

 

Blackwall and Cassandra are obviously close seconds. And I'd definitely swap one or both of them in when I move into my non-warrior. Varric will always stay though. He's the only rogue I like.

 

I couldn't care less about Cole. I'll probably pick him up once just to see what happens but other than that I can't seen myself picking him up at all. After all, a Fade spirit in a human body... I can't imagine how that could possibly go wrong.

 

Sera just sounds like walking trouble with the description of her being impulsive and reckless. Not exactly what my Inquisitor is going to want in troubled times. Though if I get round to doing a "I don't give ****" Inquisitor run through then she might get a jersey in my squad.

 

The Iron Bull... hmm, I'm not sure about having a Qunari agent around. And don't tell me he's not still a Qunari agent. He's still sending reports back home and I'd bet good money that if the Qunari turned up en masse or he went back home, he'd slot right back into where he was and how he was with only the most minor of regrets. I've actually seen that kind of thing before in real life so unless we get more information that indicates those reports are complete fiction or we have the opportunity to influence him to break away from the Qun completely, I just can't bring myself to trust him. Which is a shame because he looks interesting and a bit of fun. He might be an option for my aforementioned "I don't give a ***" Inquisitor run through.

 

And Solas might be a possibility but I can't judge that until we get some more information about him.

[ChrisRudson]

Varric, Cass, Cole, Sera, Bull, Wall

[Feybrad]

I am very intrigued by Vivienne. I really hope we can get on her good Side and defrost her a little bit.

 

Also, I always like seeing people returning, thus, I am excited about Varric and how he changed since we last saw him.

 

Iron Bull is another Companion I am intrigued with. I want to know his Relation to the Qun and I want to know if he is a good Option to introduce my Qunquisitor to it.

 

Cassandra is a Borderline case for me. I want to get to know her current Self, but I don't like her old Self enough to really be invested.

 

Cole is an interesting case. If I recruit him at all (because, roleplaying might have a Word in that), I am certain I will want to see him evolve.

 

Dorian might be interesting, especially since he is a tavinter and my PC will be a Qunari. Might want to punch him in the Mustache, though.

 

Sera is totally uninteresting to me. Yay, lowlife wants to help lowlife. But wht the hell do I care? I have bigger problems than street rats in orlais.

 

Blackwall is someone I do not perceive as interesting either. He seems like "Wrex of ME1 in nice" right now.

 

Solas can not be judged, but he IS damn ugly...

[Jessihatt]

Iron Bull and Cole so far. Not decided on my 3rd main companion.

Iron Bull just seems a breath of fresh air, I'm surprised he will apparently get on with Cole.
And I have been interested in Cole since Asunder, I want to unravel the mystery!

I don't know who will complement them most but I'm thinking of bringing a mage along too.
After all those tweets yesterday about companion teams the writers like, I'm even more excited to settle on my 3rd companion for my first playthrough.

[CrabbyCrackers]

hmm dorian , cole, varric of course , and iron bull, hell all of em

[Lady Sif]

I would have to say Solas, Iron Bull, Cole, Sera, Dorian, and Cassandra

[ManOfSteel]

Cassandra, followed by Blackwall, Sera and Vivienne.

[Zatche]

Iron Bull and Sera. I'm excited for their antics.

 

But they all seem interesting. I will definitely be rotating people in and out constantly.

[Han Shot First]

Vivienne.

 

I have a feeling her banter with other companions is going to be a lot of fun.

[Rawgrim]

The ones that have the least cartoony combat moves.

[number 1 dragon age fan]

Alot of people have become skeptical of vivienne after the stand together trailer because of the whole "What is her true agenda.."  I think you all are reading a bit too much into it , maybe i'm wrong but for me it feels a bit too cliche (powerful mage with sinister motives) I think she might be a bit selfish maybe using the inquisition for her own advancement but i definitely don't see any major betrayal or anything of the sort from her.

[Afro_Explosion]

Dorian, Vivienne, Solas for my mean girls reenactment.

[ParagonPunk]

Cass, Cole, Solas and Dorian.

 

Gosh, picking from these companions is difficult. I love all of em'.
