I know we have threads about our favourites and our least-liked DAI characters.

 

However, what I want to do is see if put them in Tiers, the purpose of which is to group them.

 

The reason is, I want to see if there are trends.  Example: if you like Vivienne, did you hate Sera?

 

Rather than separate things out like their combat abilities versus their personality or their backstory, I'll suggest just classifying them by how much you like them overall.  For example, I'm not sure if I like Vivienne for her very convincing arguments in favour of Circles or her awesome Knight Enchanter fighting skills, I think I liked her altogether.

 

MY GOD TIER: Cassandra

 

MY TOP TIER: Iron Bull, Sera, Scout Harding*

 

MY GOOD TIER: Blackwall, Varric, Vivienne, Leliana, Morrigan

 

MY AVERAGE TIER: Cole, Dorian, Solas, Cullen, Josephine

 

MY BAD TIER: No one, I honestly didn't dislike anyone in DAI.

 

(*Scout Harding was so likeable, I considered an honourary companion ONLY for my own list.)

If you don't include Solas in God Tier you haven't finished Inquisition. Psssssst this is a joke.

 

God Tier: Solas, Cassandra, Cole, Dorian

 

Top Tier: Iron Bull, Varric, Cullen, Josephine

 

Good Tier: Sera, Vivienne, Leliana

 

Average Tier: Blackwall

 

To be honest I don't set the bar very high. I'm pretty short so I'd have trouble reaching it later.

 

Wait there was a Good Tier?

 

*edits*

 

Sorry Blackwall...

[Ajna]

Hehe our first few are the same, I'm amused.

And I'm so not surprised

[Dune01]

Shouldn't be too hard....

*15 minutes later*

Well, ****. Anyways:

 

God Tier: Leliana

Top Tier: Varric, Dorian, Bull, Sera, Cullen, Cass

Good Tier: Blackwall, Cole, Solas

Average Tier: Josephine

Bad tier: Vivienne

 

As you can see, I mostly adored the companions of Inquisition and there are some that have like ninety percent chance to ascend(heh) to god tier.

[Computron2000]

Best of the best Tier (best): Cassandra, Leilana

Excellent Tier: Solas, Sera, Iron Bull, Cullen

Inbetween Excellent and Good: Varric (not enough exposure though in one choice after the fade in skyhold, it was very well done)

Good Tier: Cole, Dorian

Average: Blackwall, Vivienne, Josephine

[Monica21]

God Tier: Cassandra, Solas

Top Tier: Varric, Cullen, Leliana, Morrigan, Dorian

Good Tier: Cole, Josephine, Sera

Average Tier: Vivienne

Bad Tier: Blackwall

 

Basically I have a really hard time not taking Cassandra, Solas, and Varric with me everywhere I go. Cole's a tough one because I'm also a DW Rogue, so he's kind of unnecessary. I could respec him, but I just haven't taken the time to do it. Vivienne's good for party banter, but I just don't find her as interesting as Solas or Dorian.

[Adynata]

God tier: Solas!!!!!!! Cole, Cassandra

Top tier: Iron Bull, Cullen, Dorian

Good tier: Blackwall, Leliana, Stroud, Alistair

Average tier: Josephine, Sera, Varric, Bianca

Bad tier: Vivienne, Hawke, Morrigan (I don't like when characters pick fights with other characters)

[Cerulione]

Oooh this discussion looks interesting!

 

God Tier: Cassandra, Cullen, Cole, Varric, Dorian

 

Top Tier: Cole, IB, Scout Harding, Solas, Krem & the Charger

 

Average Tier: Josie, Blackwall, Sera, Leliana (she was on my God Tier list at DA:O...)

 

Does Not Exist Tier: Vivienne (don't even bother to recruit her starting second PT)

 

Actually it's depending on which PT. Solas is on God Tier for my Lavellan, Top Tier for my Trevelyan. Dorian's on God Tier for Trev but Top Tier for Lavellan

[Eggplant Hell Princess]

GOD TIER Dorian, Cassandra, Vivienne

TOP TIER: Cullen, Josephine, Morrigan, Solas

 

GOOD TIER: Leliana, Varric

 

AVERAGE TIER: Cole, Iron Bull, Sera

 

BAD TIER: Nobody. The quality of Inquisition's cast is such that even people I've classified as Average are characters I still really like. Just...not as much as everyone else.

[Zombie Chow]

Thanks for sharing your views.  They're all very interesting.

 

I realize not all characters are given equal air-time.  Cass and Solas are party companions that start the game with you, thus have more exposure.  It can be argued there's a bias, but that's okay, we're looking at opinions, no need to normalize that.  We want opinions.

 

So what is interesting so far is that Dorian fares really well.  He's a relatively late join, but ranks really highly considering.  I think that's cool, clearly he's doing something right.  Whereas Vivienne tends to be more of a love-her-or-hate-her in comparison.

 

What I also liked was Morrigan and Varric, who were really key figures in the previous games, aren't rated that highly.  IMHO that's a good sign, people are really looking at DAI by itself, no baggage from previous games.  I find that's a sign of objectivity.

 

Another interesting thing I noticed was, I don't think there's much sign of cliques.  Like Cass and Leliana are a natural tag team, they're the Right and Left Hands of the Divine, yet if you like one you really don't necessarily like the other.

 

Bottom line, it's very exciting.  We tend to talk about our favourite and least liked characters, but I'm finding figures like Dorian, even when they're not your God Tier, he still ranks pretty high for a lot of people.  That's interesting stuff.

GOD TIER:
Vivienne (my favourite DA character ever, love her to bits)

MY TOP TIER:
Cassandra, (so awesome, and I proper squee everytime I get the Swords and Shields scene)
Iron Bull, (great to talk to, perfect banters with Vivienne, and the Chargers are both hilarious and moving (dat funeral scene))
Cullen, (my favourite romance so far, great character, complex themes, explored well. What else do you want?)

MY GOOD TIER:
Varric, (really surprising, bored me to tears in DA2, now I really love him. Also, I find him funny now)
Josie, (fully expect to move her up after playing her romance)
Sera, (somewhat disappointed, but also pleasantly surprised in other ways. Had fun with her, but the best part is thinking about why she is the way she is, imo)
Solas, (so bored by him in the run up to the game, but was pleasa tly surprised. Interesting, and his low disapproval scenes are bloody brilliant! Punch all the faces! Argue in all the elven!)
Leliana, (love her and her descent into being the biggest scary psycho in Thedas)

MY AVERAGE TIER:
Dorian, (his humour's very hit and miss for me, and his personal quest seemed like an above average episode of Glee to me, (minus the singing). At least I no longer actively dislike him like I did before the game came out?)

MY BAD TIER:
Blackwall, (commits the greatest character sin. Being boring. Even worse than I found Varric in DA2, tbh)
Cole, (I loathe his speech pattern. It just really grates on me. Also, since almost everything surrounding him is meant to be a tearjerker, because it doesn't, I just end up rolling my eyes. Talking to him makes me pull muscles in my eyes)

Why do I feel like I did the reverse of the popular opinion here?

Underdog power!

MY GOOD TIER: Iron Bull, Leliana, Varric, Vivienne

MY AVERAGE TIER: Cullen, Blackwall

MY BAD TIER: No one

 

Cole and Cassandra are at the top since I can't think of a single thing I actually dislike about them.

There isn't anyone I dislike completely. Well, I'm still conflicted about Blackwall, but he's interesting enough to be above 'bad' as a character. Cullen hasn't made a huge impact yet (besides being hilarious in card games), but I do love his response to 'Annexing Kirkwall'. Good man. Other than that, I like everyone else. Krem made enough impact on me that he gets to join the companions & advisors.
