I'm sure that in all DA games, there are some companions that hardly get to see the world (always staying in camp/their house or like what one of the companions in ME3 DLC would say "why do I never get pick"). So let's do one for DAO-2 and the potential companions that will be left behind for DAI.

 

For me,

 

I have only played mage, human rouge and starting on dalish rouge. 

 

DAO:

 

Most used companions: Alistair (best tank ever), Wynne (spirit healer), Morrigan (LI and fav character of all time). Depending of my class, sometimes I use Leliana to pick locks and sometimes I choose Shale over Wynne because I like her banters best.

 

Left behind: Loghain (kill him always), Dog (just too weak to be any good), Zveran (i really dislike him but always tend to keep him alive as a sex slave).

 

DAA:

 

Most used companions: Anders, Justice (tank) and Nathaniel 

 

Left behind: Orghen (don't understand why he is back)

 

DA2:

 

I have played mages in all my 2.5 playthroughs 

 

Most used companions: Anders, Merril, Varric (to open chests) or Aveline (tank) - purely because AoE makes the repetitive combat ends much much faster. 

 

Left behind: Isabela (first playthrough and then I lost her! but she had the most funny banters so i choose her over Varric in subsequent playthroughs), Sebastian (what good is this whiny useless chap?), Fenris (boring boring boring!)

 

DAI (predicted):

 

I will be playing a female elven mage in my first playthrough

 

Most used companions: Cass (tank), Dorian (seems interesting and I always use more than 1 mage), Varric (if i need to open locks, otherwise, Iron Bull cause he seems interesting)

 

Left behind: Blackwall and Solas (hardly rouse my interest (for now))

 

 

 

 

 

[Icy Magebane]

DAO

Most Used: Alistair, Wynne, Leliana, Zevran, Loghain

 

Left Behind: Sten (left him in his cage because most of my Wardens did not trust him; in games where was recruited, he died very quickly in combat and so I just stopped bringing him along), Morrigan (didn't like her attitude during missions), Dog (useless), Shale (not a fan)

 

DAA

Most Used: Anders, Sigrun, Justice, Nathaniel

 

Left Behind: Velanna (always killed her after the first playthrough); Nathaniel (listed here because he was always killed on Cousland playthroughs)

 

DA2

Most Used: Aveline, Fenris, Varric, Sebastian

 

Left Behind: Isabela (usually did not recruit because of the way her plot with the Tome plays out, but when recruited, I found her to be very underwhelming in combat), Anders (roleplaying reasons), Merrill (roleplaying reasons)

 

DAI Predictions

Most Used: Dorian, Cassandra, Cole, Sera, Blackwall

 

Left Behind: Vivienne (not a fan of KE in the hands of the AI)

[I SOLD MY SOUL TO BIOWARE]

I made a point to take everybody. But Leliana, Nathaniel and Varric were my mainstays in their respective games.

See the Inquisitor using it in the demo yesterday makes me inclined to agree. 

 

 

Anyway:

 

DA:O 

 

Most used: Alistair, Leliana, Morrigan 

 

Left Behind: everyone else 

 

DA:O:A 

 

Most used: Oghren, Nathaniel, Velanna

DA ][

 

Most used: Isabela, Varic, Carver/Aveline 

 

Left behind: everyone else. 

 

 

Once I get a party working, I rarely ever change it. 

 

 

For DA:I, I'll probably roll:

 

Cassandra, Varic, Iron Bull, and occasionally Dorian or Solas 

[taviastrife]

--DA:O--

Most used: Alistair, Wynne, Leliana (not that I like her, need her for locks), Morrigan, Shale

Least used: Oghren (usually didn't care about him as much because I get him last), Dog

 

--DA:A--

Most used:  Anders, Nathaniel, Oghren (because he hit damn hard/good tank, loathed him otherwise)

Least used: Velanna, Sigrun (loved her but got her too late usually to do anything with her)

 

--DA2--

Hard to say for the most part because I switched them around so frequently.

 

Most used: Fenris, Varric

Least used: Isabela

 

--DA:I Predictions--

Pretty hard for me to say, seeing how I don't know much about each character.  A lot shorter lists here.

 

Most used: Varric (because he's my bud)

Least used: Cole, Iron Bull (maybe, I like the looks of him)

[Kieran G.]

DA:O

 

Most used Companions were Alistair, Leliana, and Morrigan. it was the perfect set up for me and my warden would be some kind of DPS spec

 

The companions i would never use were Shale, Zevran (Talks too much and whines at all the wrong times) and the Dog.

 

DA:A 

 

Velenna, Sigrun, and justice were normally the companions i would rock

 

Oghren was probably my least used, his jokes became stale and i barely used him in DA:O anyway.

 

DA:2 

 

Isabela, Varric and Merril was my main set up and the only companion i actually could enjoy having around during most of my adventures.

 

Least used was Carver and Sebastian, i just had no time for their whining while i had anders to deal with.

 

DA:I

 

My main party in DA:I will probably be Cass, Dorian, Sera. just because i think that set up sounds good with a DPS Mage or Warrior.

 

I will most likely never use Cole or Viv. i get i'm reading a book by its cover but i don't know if i like their character yet.

[Akkos]

In DAO.

 

I always took Wynne, Alistair, Leliana, Morrigan and Sten - [I was forced to take him... though he is so fuckin squishy as a tank in whatever armor you put him.]

 

Left Behind - Shale, Oghren..... I did take Zevran a lot with my human male mage and dwarf warrior though.

 

In DA2..

 

I always took Merrill, Anders, Aveline and Varric.

 

Left Behind - Sebastian and Fenris....  didn't fit... Isabela ocassionally when Hawke is in range combat..

 

 

Predition in DAI..

 

Uff... Always - Vivienne like always... excepcion when I'm an female elf mage/archer.

 

Left behind - Maybe Dorian, I don't like the way he talks.........   People that think they look smart. Exception when I play a gay dwarf with Ironbull as LI.

[AlexiaRevan]

Hum...

 

DAO: Leliana + Morrigan +Wynn + Dog (mod for him) /Loghain Die , Sten warm the Bench forever , Alistair sometimes get picked up so does Zevran and Shale . 

 

DAwakening: Segrun + that elf girl whats her name+ Oghren /Nathaniel Die! Anders...warm the bench..and never finished .

 

DA2: Bela + Bethany + Aveline then Bela + Aveline +Varric (if sister gone as warden or circle or dead) .

 

DAI: Cass+Sera+Vivi     

[Solrest]

I used pretty much all characters at some point in both Dragon Ages. The only character I never used was Sten because he never got a second specialization which just made him an inferior party member.

[NoForgiveness]

Dao:
Used alot: Alistair, Leliana, Morrigan, and Zevran. Oghren would be here too if he joined sooner.
Not used: Dog(waste of a companion slot), and Sten.

DA2:
Used alot: Isabela, Merril, and Anders.
Not used: Fenris, and Aveline.

Dai:
Will use alot: Varric, Cassy, Cole and Sera.
Will not use much: Vivienne, Iron Bull, Dorian, Solas, and Blackwall.

[R0vena]

Most used:

Alistair

Fenris

 

because I romanced them about 10 times more than others.

Everybody else is pretty equal, I generally try different party combinations for different playthroughs and I had a lot of playthroughs.

 

ps Not sure who will be my favorite romance in DAI.

[Panda]

DAO

 

Most used: Morrigan (heals, damage, cc, she's simply op), Alistair (tanky stuff), Leliana/Zevran (for rogue stuff).

Least used: Oghren and Sten, I can't stand Oghren and Sten felt quite boring and useless (plotwise) to me.

 

DA2

 

Most used: Fenris (tanking and dmg), Anders (only mage companion with heals! I got worst banters but I had to take him and Fenris with me always), Merrill (even worse banters when taking her with Fenris and Anders)/Isabela (for dmg).

Least used: Varric (Bianca is quite weak, sry!), Aveline (no dmg).

 

DAI predication:

 

Well I don't know who is going to be OP so I can't be sure gameplay-wise. But:

 

Most used: Dorian, Solas, Cole, Cass, Iron Bull..

 

Least used: Blackwall (boring, lol sorry).

[Sifr]

DA:O

 

Most Used: Leliana (Lockpick and Ranged), Alistair (Tank) and Wynne (Heal-bot).

Least Used: Zevran, Shale, Oghren, Sten and Loghain (unless replacing Alistair).

 

(I have the summonable Dog mod, but I do tend to switch him off for harder fights and keep him out of combat, using him only sparingly.)

 

DA:A

 

Most Used: Nathaniel/Sigrun (Lockpick and Ranged), Oghren (Off-tank) and Anders (Heal-bot)

Least Used: Velanna and Justice.

 

DA2

 

Most Used: Varric (Lockpick and Ranged), Aveline (Tank), Bethany/Anders (Heal-bot), Carver (Off-Tank).

Least Used: Merrill, Fenris, Isabela and Sebastian. I like all of them (except Sebastian), but most of their abilities are pretty superfluous to my main party setup and Varric is a far more versatile rogue.

 

DAI (Predictions)

 

I have no idea?

 

I tend to prefer mages and warriors in my party, with only one rogue to provide ranged. As fun as Cole and Sera sound, Varric's probably going to once again be my wingman for the majority of the game. I also love Cass, so I'm probably going to alternate between Blackwall and Iron Bull in my fourth party slot and as the off-tank? Out of the mages, it's going to be a battle between Solas, Dorian and Vivienne for who serves as the resident mage on my team, or second mage for my Mage Inquisitor?

[90s Luke]

Most used

DAO: Morrigan, Alistair, Leliana, Oghren, Shale

DA2: Isabela, Merrill, Aveline

DAI (predicted): Cassandra, Solas, Sera, Cole

 

Most neglected

DAO: Dog, Sten, Zevran, Wynne, Loghain

DA2: Varric, Anders, Fenris

DAI (predicted): Varric, Blackwall, Dorian, Iron Bull, Vivienne

[LaughingWolf]

DA:O

 

Most Used: Alistair (awesome character and tank), Morrigan (LI and my fav DA character), and Leliana/Sten (just because)

Least Used: Zeveran and Oghren (found them really cliche characters)

 

DA:A

 

Most Used: Anders!! (I love Anders), Justice, and basically everyone really except Oghren and Segran

Least Used: Oghren and Segran (Never liked Oghren that much, and I just liked everyone else more than Segran)

 

DA2:

 

Most Used: Everyone except the siblings (Personally I think the DA2 companions were the best)

Least Used: Carver and Bethany (too stale)

 

DA:I prediction 

 

Most Used: Cassandra, Varric, and Dorian; I'll probably swap all the companions just to see the different interactions

Least Used: Solas and Blackwall (look a bit too boring)

[Xiltas]

It's a bit complicated:

Normally, companions who have the same class/weapon set that my character uses are left out, and I switch out my team every now and then.

 

My preferred companions in DAO are Alistair, Morrigan, Sten and Leliana, but f.e. Alistair doesn't see much use when I play as a Sword-and-Shield-Warrior, so when I use a warrior using Greatswords, Sten and Oghren are left out (though I always choose Sten over Oghren otherwise).

In DAA my favorites are Nathaniel, Velanna and Anders.

 

DA2... Varric, Isabel, Merril, Bethany.

[Will-o'-wisp]

DA:O

 

Most used: Morrigan, Wynne, Alistair and Sten

Least used: Shale (got her DLC very late and never got into her), Loghain (always killed him except for one playthrough)

 

DA:A

 

Most used: Justice, Nathaniel

Least used: Oghren

 

DA2

 

Most used: Isabela, Varric, Merril

Least used: Sebastian, Fenris

 

I also hate Anders with a Passion, but he's a healer so I still brought him along...

 

 

Prediction fo DA:I

 

Most used: Probably Cassandra, Varric, Iron Bull and either Solas or Vivienne

Least used: Sera, Dorian, Cole

 

I know next to nothing about Blackwall, so I really don't know wether I'll use him a lot or not. Cassandra, Varric, Solas and Vivienne seem to have the most intriguing personalities so far and Iron Bull's backstory and appearance are something that Appeals to me - though I'm really unsure if I'll like his personality.

Cole simply doesn't interest me that much and Dorian is the least interesting of the mages, at least at the Moment - I really don't know much about him. Sera Looks cool, but her backstory doesn't seem that great to me.

 

Though I really can't say anything for sure, all of them might be great, some might turn out to be completely different from how I imagined them. I really didn't expect to hate Anders as much before I played DA2, so you never know.

[Hazegurl]

Most used

Alistair, Morrigan, Dog (Mod), and Oghren

Nathaniel, Anders, and Oghren

Fenris, Varric, Anders(Until I get Spirit healer), Isabella

 

Least used

Wynne, Leliana, Shale

Valenna and Sigrun

Aveline and Merrill

[l7986]

DAO

Most used: Morrigan, Alistair until I could kill him off and get Loghain and Shale.

Least Used: Mainly used Wynne for the High Dragon and the Archdemon, never touched Zevran and barely touched Leliana and Sten.

DA2

Most used: Merrill, Aveline, Isabela

Least used: Couldn't stand Fenris and Anders, so I would do the introductory quests and promptly tell them to get lost or ignore them. Used Bethany on occasion but for the most part I didn't need her. Varric stayed in the Hanged Man the entire game except during the Deep Roads and Batrands house, and Sebastian can go die in a fire.

DA:I

Probably going to use a combo of Cassandra, Vivianne and IB for most of the game as the other companions I'm kind of meh on.

DAI (guesses)

 

Most Used: Blackwall

Least Used: Cole

[Eveangaline]

For me the neglect tends to land on characters of whatever class I am playing at the time, although not always, I ignored Morrigan for my first few runs of Origins because i like getting new loot and dressing up people in the silly mishmosh of "THIS ONE HAS HIGHER STATS PUT IT ON" and there never seemed to be any new stuff for her so it'd just be her in her starter outfit making me feel like I failed at finding loot and making her look all boring for wearing the same thing all through the damn game. Then I got some dlcs that let me get better mage gear along the way and then WOO BFF Morrigan.

 

But I think over all my playthroughs I got through everyone pretty well.

 

For DA2....I dunno. Maaaaybe Varric because I'm just not really sure what to do with archers half the time? But if I did let anyone down it wasn't by much.

 

For inquisition it will probably just be "When I play a rogue some of the rogues will be ignored, when I play a mage some of the mages will be ignored" Etc. But since I do multiple playthroughs I get to hang with everyone for a good while.

[Chernaya]

I'm surprised so many people say Dog is a waste or weak, for me he was pretty much an OP tank when fully upgraded. He was actually a beast (and adorable).

 

For DAO I mostly used: Alistair, Dog, Shale, Wynne (for healing), Sten, Zevran/Leliana

least used: Loghain (never recruited him), Oghren

 

DA2 most used: Varric, Isabela, Anders

least used: Aveline, Bethany/Carver, Merrill
