The inquisitor..

*shots fired.*

[Wolfen09]

its a tie between blackwall and viviene for me...  Both companions just kind of felt tacked on, i know viviene has all this courtly intrigue background crap goin on, but you just basically aske her about the circle and thats it, she doesnt even do anything unique at the ball in halamshiral.  Blackwall, well hes just quiet in general... so i overlooked him quite a bit actually.  Probably gonna use him on my non warrior inquisitor nightmare run for my tank though....

[teh DRUMPf!!]

They aren't that interesting, I'll say that. 

 

Yeah, I have not really warmed up to this protagonist. Not sure why.

 

Well, not yet, at any rate.

[DuskWanderer]

Dorian - No charm at all, no funny dialogue, plotline just a basic gay angst plotline. Not very good looking. I think his only fans are yaoi fans. 

[Unnamed]

I cannot believe Blackwall got so many votes. I like him though even if he seems an ordinary warrior to you all. He is a bit boring but that makes him a classical NPC.
I personally as a creator of this topic for got to write down who I like least.
IT IS:
Sera.
I mean, she is supposed to be original and funny but it did not work for me. She is retarded and annoying in my view. She is just retarded. It is not the fact that I do not like little people, I do like little people but not idiots. She is an absolute idiot for me. But fans love her nonetheless.

[Obsidian Gryphon]

Sera. After the first round, she is thereby doomed to the farthest dark corner. I find the character childish and shallow.

[Jaulen]

Vivienne. Just seems weird to have such a poncy Circle Mage out doing 'dirty work'.

Although her bite-me-fanboy personality, while grating, is....interesting.

[TheRaccoon]

I have to say Blackwall. Although I don't really dislike him, I find his character quite boring. I romanced him in one of my pts and I am irritated that he

Spoiler

left my inquisitor in the barn after sex alone and went MIA! What was he thinking? I could not forgive him to be this rude and unconsiderate (though I letcontinue the relationship with him for science reasons..). It would be so much better if he did this after I rescued him. But, alas...

[Maverick_One]

I dunno. I don't think for me it is a companion. For me I think it is The Lord Seeker. His teeth just bug me and that is just for starters. I can give more compelling reasons if you wish. Also Cory could of been scarier and more of a foe. Magneto and Darth Vader he is not. Shoot Mojo Jojo was a better villain than him. At least they could of done is give him a Red Lyrium mask to go with the hood.

[London]

Loved the game overall but the entire cast is a mixed bag for me.

Loved the advisors and Cassandra. Wish the advisors were party members.

Nice to see Varric. Sera grew on me.

Vivienne I would have preferred as an NPC.

Neutral on Solas, Iron Bull, Blackwall, or Cole.

Dorian wasn't my cup of tea.

Probably a toss up between Dorian and Cole, though I hard a hard time filling out a party I was very excited by - as opposed to DAO and DA2 where I wished for additional party slots as I wanted to bring too many along.

[Unnamed]

All people like Cole. He is in indeed original. I do not know why you think he is the worst 

[Unnamed]

Cole is real fun! But let's not change the topic!

[London]

I didn't really like Justice either. I'm not big on spirits as party members.

I think his VA did a great job with the material but it's just a personal bias. I just don't really care what happens to the spirit characters. I actually care more about not killing fennecs than I do Cole.

[Felene]

Sera. I only recruite her for the Jar of Bee.

[TK514]

Sera.  Without doubt or reservation.

[AppealToReason]

Vivienne. She's just dreadfully boring.

[BlueElf2]

Greeting. I am curious who you like least. People usually ask who you like best but I decided to turn the question to the opposite.
When I say LEAST FAVOURITE I do not mean that you hate this NPC or that you wish to remove him/her from the game.
And one more thing: enemies do not count, so you cannot say Calpernia for example. Choose from one your companiuons, please.

Probably Vivienne for me or Blackwall. I like taking Vivienne out on missions to hear her banter with the other characters, but as a person, there's something about her that just grates on me. I think maybe it's her superiority complex...maybe? I mean, Solas also has a superiority complex, but at least he sometimes acknowledges that he -might- be wrong. Admittedly, I'm biased on Solas, though, because I did his romance, which added so much more to the character for me. I think I might like Blackwall better if I did his romance, too, because I would learn more about him and probably get a better feel for his personality, but his whole questline near the end of the game soured me on that idea a bit; I just wanted there to be an option for my inquisitor to yell, "I don't need your angst, Blackwall!"

[Jibana]

Blackwall because of

Spoiler

his personal quest.

. Closely followed by Vivienne.

[cindercatz]

What's wrong with you people? lol

 

Seems like most people are just picking the characters that could be more confrontational or blindside you. Those are the best characters. Seriously, the story would be plain boring without them.

 

SPOILERS I guess.

(seriously)

(ok, hope not too many spoiler tags >< )

 

 

 

 

 

OK!

I'm going to try to rank all the Inner Circle from fav to least fav.

Favorites after first PT, having completed all their personal quests, but only having romanced Josephine:

 

1-6: LOVE

1. Morrigan: Bar none the best character in the series. The Warden seriously needs to be there for dlc at least. She's got a lot of story left in her.

 

2. Leliana: To me, had the best transitional character arc, game's a reminder how great these characters are. (M&L)

 

3. Sera: Most realistic personality, easiest to like personally. Best presentation. She just asks you accept her, not try to change her. I love her personal code, even when I don't agree with her. She takes everything case by case until she feels threatened, then she's self aware and honest about it. She's a harsh mirror. She's not proper or deceitful or false in any way. No plastic here. And she'll flat out tell you where she's coming from. Overcoming self hatred, shame is a major theme, how she was raised, as most apparently haven't really got to know her character yet. She's one of the most complex characters in the game.

 

4. Blackwall:

Spoiler

He's a cur. He's perhaps the opposite of Sera, in that he has no honesty, he's obtuse and selfish and amoral, a snake in the grass who takes his oppurtunity where he can get it. But depending on your example, he does have a conscience underneath it all. And that's both his downfall and his potential saving grace.

And that is great writing.

 

5. Solas: Here's a character that

Spoiler

wants to rip everything down, and he tells you why very clearly, but you still don't really expect it. If there's a great philosophical antagonist in this series to date, he's it,

and he's so imminently reasonable about it all.

 

6. Cole:

Spoiler

Compassion. My favorite virtue. His character asks if you can recognize him for what he is. He's also a perfect example of what Solas is protecting. Here's a corrupted spirit, what DA calls a demon, who through a nurturing hand can find his true purpose again, or alternatively a Pinnochio who can become a real boy,

depending on the eyes of the beholder.

 

7-9: LIKE

7. Vivienne: I like that her personal standard is noble, next to surety, guile, and ambition. I like her falability. And she's got top notch delivery.

8. Cullen: His addiction makes him interesting, so beaucoup points there. But his past is pretty well whitewashed and pasted over. So heavy negative there.

9. Josephine. Charm, pure and simple. I love the

Spoiler

duel and fireplace scene.

It's missing a lot otherwise though. That should've been the first main romance scene, not the last.

 

10-13: AMBIVALENT 

10. Cassandra: I think she's likable, extremely reasonable, and leans on false bravado like a crutch at every available moment. I like her ok, I think her voice is excellent, but I never see much depth or development. I imagine her romance will help her case by cracking open her shell a little more. But I haven't played it yet.

 

11. Dorian: I think he has three main notes.

Spoiler

His dominant issue of dealing with his father, which is probably one of the better scenes in the game, his easy personal manner, where I think he has a top 5 or 6 voice performance, but mostly either sedate or unfunny dialogue, and his quality as a completely unrepentant slave owner that just gets completely ignored after the first conversation at Haven. I wanted that to come up heavily in his personal story so I could deal with it in the game, and not just through banter. As it is, the only crisis points I found were around his sexuality and his Tevinterness what with the black divine and all, neither of which are things my Inquisitor really had any issue with. So he sat around Skyhold like a fast friend and trusted ally, and it just never really came up again. His confrontation with his father should've been followed up with more than his Tevinter magery. So he was well done, but it was extremely disappointing that something as serious as his slaveholding was largely glossed over in favor of his sexuality or fashion sense or reading habits. When he talks about making Tevinter a better place, I don't know what he means, because apparently the whole slavery thing just doesn't merit his attention.

O.o

 

12. Varric: I honestly felt he was mostly there to represent DA2, and aside from that, I got very little out of it. I'd've much preferred Hawke or the Hawke sibling as potential companions, or Charade, with a lot more character cameos. His

Spoiler

love story is pretty pedestrian,

and it came across as mostly sad to me.

 

13. The Iron Bull: Indifferent. I wish he'd have betrayed me when I

Spoiler

chose the Chargers over the Dreadnought.

I wish he'd have made me found out about his Qunari agency. I wish he had some intensity to him, and some intrigue. To me, he turned out probably the least interesting companion so far in a BioWare game, because I see him as this big jocular ball of wasted potential. I personally like him, and he's not offensive like Fenris, but he's not even skin deep. Jacob has him beat by a mile.

 

Answer to OP: The Iron Bull, unfortunately. I like him ok though.

[Unnamed]

Well I do not know now... But seems that Blackwall and Vivienne are the least liked. I kind of like the posh pseudoaritstocratic sometimes annoying behavior of the black orlaisian lady I especially enjoyed the fact she says that she would not sleep with you because such an arrangement would not be in her best onterest. It was interesting including the tone of her voice, polite and neutral at first but if ypou get to know her - FAKE. Her voice is so FAKE. I like the way they made it altough in real life I dislike such people. D
