We'll see, to early to tell.

 

True... he could be a Gandalf clone for all I know.

 

I'd laugh if he turns out ot be a grumpy old git who burns all his hours in the Skyhold garden. "Get off my lawn!"

I dont know why but I think Sera and Cullen are going to make me pretty angry from time to time.

I really don't remember Cullen from Origins, but in DA2 he seemed okay... kind of "Someone thought I was good at this," mixed with a bit of pity for the magi. As long as he keeps his cool I think we’ll hit it off, but if I see angst, we gonna have a long chat and he might just take a long walk.

 

Sera? I’m trying not to spoil too much of the new characters, want to get to know them in the game, so who knows. My understanding is she’s a bit of a rebel, carefree, good-hearted… I think I’m going to like her.

 

Though, I tend to like everybody. Hah, I even liked Sten.

It depends on the player I guess. My Hawke lost Bethany because of him, and after witnessing that I have every reason to want him dead. So people who didn't had circle mage Bethany might not feel that way.

 

The only characters I don't think I will get along with are strong Chantry supporters, so I will probally be at odds with people like Cullen and Cassandra. Everyone else is fair game thought.

I think it's going to be the Inquisitor themselves, after being railroaded into choices players don't want to make

Did you play Origin as a female mage? If you did its hard not to remember Cullen. He was at first kind of nice if a little dorky with his stumbling over himself when interacting with you, you kind of pity him and like him because of it. However during Broken Circle I myself quickly became less endeared with the character, yes i understand the stress and duress he was under were severe, but like Wynne said he was being kind of irrational, especially for someone of his station as Knight Lieutenant (assuming that was his position prior to becoming a Captain). My understanding is that Templars are supposed to be trained to deal with mages, abomination or otherwise, they are the ones who in their line of work would likely encounter demons most often, yet here he was freaking out and calling for the blood of all mages just for being mages. In DA2 it kind of carried over though less so. I hope you are right though, him being my war advisor i'd hate to have to ignore him simply because of his personal feelings toward mages, and he does leave the templars so he is less likely to be bias toward them so who knows.

 

A lot of people say they liked sten like it was awkward to do so, i didn't really like or dislike him, because i viewed most all characters from a mechanical point of view in origins unless i intended to romance them, or i just liked the humour between them and other party members. Generally sten didn't fit my party builds because as a two hander who started with low con and dex, he was a terrible tank, and damager. So Shale or Alistair always filled the tank role, Oghren was funny but outside of the deep roads i usually didn't bring him unless i wanted someone to keep me laughing, mechanic wise Oghren had a high con, and two specializations whereas sten had only one, he also had lower cunning so he had less skill points in tactics, whereas Oghren had enough to get all the tactics skills and the combat training.

Cassandra I get the feeling she will turn on us if we dont tow the line so to speak considering we know she doesnt trust the Inquisitor if they go against what she thinks is right the Chantry/The Maker  I can see her turning against us even trying to kill us.

Cassandra is the Right hand of the divine, if the divine is dead she must be loyal to the Inquisitor; She wants to restore order and killing the inquisitor removes the One person with the glowing hand who can close the rifts. I don't think she'll ever destroy the world because the Inquisitor isn't Andrastian. In fact, she seems to be the one character who will always stick with you no matter what (Alistair, Aveline)

 

I personally think it will be Vivienne. She is an Orlesian, a player in the Grand Game, and probably pretty vain/judgemental. She'll be an Ice Queen like Morrigan; some people will hate her for that.

Theres Cullen, because he is a Templar and some misguided people think "Ew Templars! They're mean to mages and mages are innocent we should kill all Templars!"

[Hobbes]

If it is anything that worthwhile that will get us angry I think they'll keep it to themselves, especially if it were anything on Anders proportions.  You sort of have to discover it as you play, otherwise it sort of takes away same of the effect if they're going around pointing out characters going "herehere here, this guy is gonna annoy you". The companions are going to probably appeal to different people, some will love them, others will hate those very same characters.  I think if there is a particular character they have in mind, it'll be someone new to the dragon age games.

 

I hope we don't get another Anders amongst the actual companions though....one Anders is more than enough.

Actually Cullen was new templar in DAO. During the dialogue he reveals that he has never seen abomination before and it seems like he hasn't been supervising very many Harrowings either (x)

That's not the impression i got, he may not have done many Harrowings but that doesn't mean he was a new recruit, Alistair is a example of a new templar, though he had been raised by the chantry and eventually went into the templar training he never took his vows and he's likely younger than Cullen, Cullen was a full fledge templar, being chosen to do the killing blow in a harrowing isn't a right a passage, in fact now that i think about it anyone full templar or not can be present for a harrowing, Alistair says as such as he was present for a harrowing and watched a girl die in it as well. Cullen was likely chosen because of his infatuation with the female Warden mage. Also Cullen knew the Warden long enough to fall in love with her, actual wait back tracking a bit, a Female apprentice just after you awaken from the harrowing in your dorm mentions that Cullen said, "it was the quickest cleanest harrowing he had ever seen." so in fact Cullen has seen more than one, and likely more than two harrowings, but was chosen to be the one to strike the killing blow because he favored her, in other words to harden him.,

[JAZZ_LEG3ND]

Did you play Origin as a female mage?

Yeah, my Warden was a warrior. Sword-and-board all the way.

He did tend to inspire much yawning. I hardly noticed him my first playthrough, but my second he took me aside and was like, "Right, so what's your deal... you're either not a woman, or not a warrior, because one cannot be the other."

He was... so literal about it. I laughed my ass off. Made it my business to mess with him after that.

"Hey Sten, why's water blue?"
"It's not."

"Sten, guess the answer to the question I'm thinking."
"No."
"Bingo."
"That was pointless."

"Is 'no' all you can say?"
"No."

"Oh Sten, I'm a woman, a warrior, and I could beat you up."
"You're lying and I will find out why."

True. Beth got pulled into the circle on my first playthrough. I didn't blame Cullen though... dude just doing his job. Besides, pretty sure Meredith scared the crap out of him.

Heretic.

[Darkly Tranquil]

Hopefully there won't be one. All these sorts of characters end up doing is dividing the community into factions who then bicker with each other endlessly. BSN has a horrible reputation, and it's in no small part due to these daft character fan base trench wars. The fewer Anders and Loghain type threads we have, the better off the whole community will be.

the fan wars will still continue even if they get what they want

Yeah, the old ones will just continue. Decades from now, the grandchildren of current forum members will be on the holonet arguing about Ostagar and the Gallows.

See I loved Sten, and what talking to him revealed about the ways of the Qun and how followers tend to think. It was fascinating to me. My character was not the serious type, nor a joker, but those moments with Sten were always somewhat Zen and philosophical for me/her.

 

I found it a shame I couldn't romance the big lug (especially with what he revealed to Morrigan about Qunari sex - kinky), or at the very least give him a hug because he looks like he needs it, and frankly it would be amusing to see his reaction. Pretty sure Qunari are not really that that schooled in the act of hugging, but you just know they would give the most awesome bear-hugs, providing they don't crush every bone in your body while they're at it..

[90s Luke]

I don't trust Varric, Blackwall, Dorian, Vivienne, or Iron Bull. But I wouldn't say that I hate them. There's not enough information about them.

 

EDIT: I also don't trust Cole, Solas, and Sera but I like them more than the others  Cassandra  can do no wrong in my eyes.

[raging_monkey]

and then the forums will be so toxic your eyes melt, your brain will explode from the sillyness.

[HaHa365]

I'm sure this person will change, depending on what choices you make or what stances you take.

[CliffMcVodka]

I thought that it had been said that all companions, except for one, have the ability to leave if they really don't like you, and the one that stays is the one that can betray you in the end. I think it's Cassandra. She pretty much started the inquisition, so I don't think she'll be leaving for any reason.

[TTTX]

That's not his fault, Bethany joined the circle of her own free will and Cullen was just the one who picked her up to get her there.

[Darkly Tranquil]

Has it ever been confirmed by any of the devs that Bethany did turn herself in? I was under the impression that remain the subject of fan speculation rather than confirmed fact. I always felt that bit of narrative was poorly executed; if Bethany did turn herself in, there should have been something in Act 1 to foreshadow that she was considering it. As it stands, you come back from the Deep Roads and it's just a done deal with no explanation or context.

[Mihura]

I already dislike Cullen from the past games, doubt he is better now. 

[Icy Magebane]

If I had to guess, I think Vivienne will annoy most players because she's been described as having a lot of negative characteristics... but on the other hand, some players like snobbish characters who talk down to everyone.  I've even heard people hoping that Vivienne frequently insults their PC... so who knows.  I don't think there will be a polarizing character this time around, at least not among the party.  They all seem pretty focused on the mission, so whatever problems we have with them will differ from player to player.
