I was pretty disappointed in Vivienne's content at the winter palace. She adds absolutely nothing and the one or two insights into the Game she does offer are pretty flippant and empty.

 

I was hoping Viviene at least would come in dressed up all fancy and everything. Oh how wrong I was.  :wacko:

Vivienne doesn't actually have much more to say or do than any other companion. Take her along if you like her, but I was a little disappointed with her content there. Same with Varric and the Warden/Hawke quest. Not to say characters don't sometimes have interesting extra content, (take Dorian on Bull's personal quest) I'm just bad at predicting where it'll occur.

 

I liked bringing Cole to Halamshiral because he said something cool about Leliana. Really, though, just take your faves~

 

I totally agree about Vivienne.  I kept checking back with her and expecting her to have some great insights and nada.

 

After every sub-plot, I'd run back to her, hoping for her to jump in at any point and help me out, but she really just stood at the side mingling and eating canapes.

 

I was highly disappointed since she's supposed to be a master of The Game.  Boo.  And I say this as one of her biggest fans.

I like to think she was just silently judging everyone's outfits.

But I brought Dorian with me too.  How dare she cut the power gay couple out of that activity?!?

Sera is funny to bring. Viv was a let down, would have though she would have had more to do or say, plus she always mentions Cole as if he is at the balll... weird. You should definitely bring your LI. I won't spoil anything but there seems to be some foreshadowing for Blackwall if you haven't done his companion quest.

I heard Varric unlocks extra content with a council member or something?

 

I personally have no idea, I never found where he was hiding after leaving the Vestibule for the first time.

 

Vivienne was a disappointment though. I liked Cassandra, she hates The Game so much, lol­.

There's a halla door out by the fountain beyond which there's a council NPC down there you can chat to (I saved, used the Halla's to check out the content and reloaded). I'm sure I read that that is where Varric hangs out.

 

Edited because I just went insane from sleep deprivation and typed nonsense.

I brought Sera, Dorian, and Solas. I was fairly satisfied with all of them TBH. Solas especially, since I didn't expect him to be so happy to be there as well as his outfit looking funny on him.

I brought Bull, Dorian and Cole. They're all cool in their own way, and Bull and Dorian are really funny in the moment.

 

What's a golden payoff, though, are Cole and Dorian's comments back at Skyhold after the Ball itself. Cole's comment made me grin, and Dorian's comment on the food served was brilliant. Almost had to put the controller down from chuckling.

Sera's intro is hilarious.

Bull's whole take on the situation is hilarious.

Cullen's predicament there is hilarious...

I took Cole and he was interesting, but he's also in a 'restricted' part of the grounds so talking to him puts your approval rating down slowly but surely... Other than that Bull was fun, if inconsequential and Dorian had a few good jokes to spare. I also enjoyed Varric and Cassandra, but overall who you take is more of a fluff choice in terms of what they say and how helpful they are. Also, Solas wears a silly hat. 

 

I tried to take cole but couldn't find him. Where on earth was he hanging out?

The announcement of cassandra is really funny :D  and if you bring sera with you after the winter palace she will comment about it.

Cole hangs out in the library, one of the restricted zones (unfortunately).

I never take Vivienne to the Winter Palace, and not because of gameplay (as I never take her in party lol), but because of rp... I don't trust her 1 second since recruiting her, and letting her loose at the Palace? No way.

 

As for who I take... Always Dorian... dancing... need I say more?  ^_^

Sera, because I think it would be hilarious to see her interact with ALL the nobility there... :P

And Cassandra or Blackwall. Mostly Cassandra because that introduction... haha!

When you go into the grand ballroom the first time, the herald will announce you. You then walk across the ballroom to greet the Duchess. Don't go up the steps to talk to her until everyone in the party has been announced. Especially if you take Sera. They all have some unique little insight for their character but Sera is a hoot.

I took Cassandra cuz, well basically because I didn't even think of Vivienne until after I'd begun the quest. Oops. Next time.

I took Bull because I figured he'd turn the whole thing on its head, but he was a non-factor really. Disappointing.

And I took Sera because Sera is my romance. She goes everywhere with me.

I took Sera, Cassandra and Solas. Of those Cassandra and Solas were serious party poopers. Both of them gave very dour responses to conversation during the ball. Cassandra made it clear she didn't want to be there. Sera has the funniest dialogue of the three about the ball but she doesn't want to be there either. I'll probably try another combination next time I play.

I went with the ones I thought would be the least likely to cause problems or embarrass the Inquisition: Cassandra, Vivienne, and Blackwall.  Worked like a charm.
