For me it has to be Bull's and Dorian's. Didn't think the Chargers dying would be that sad

[Warden Commander Aeducan]

Iron Bull's personal quest, choosing between the Qunari alliance or the Bull's Chargers is difficult, but sacrificing the people you knew...the people you drinks with and watching IB says goodbye to his former comrades is tearing me.

You didn't ally with those filty savages did you? You free the IB from his slavery to the Qun right?

 

As for me Cole and Blackwall

How about a spoiler tag bud? 

[I SOLD MY SOUL TO BIOWARE]

Blackwall's was...heavy. Romanced him my first run, so times two.

[Kulyok]

I liked Solas' quest most, especially as an elven protagonist, where you can understand what the spirit says.

 

Too bad we couldn't get more of these instead of the endless fetch quests.

As for me Cole

I side with them once. I will not turn down any war assets I can find. I will try the other route in my future play-through. IB is cleary happier when he's Tal-Vashoth.

 

Yeah, I forgot about Cole's personal quest that was my favorite as well.

[AtreiyaN7]

Blackwall's quest gets the edge because I romanced him. However, Dorian and Cole both had personal quests that I found rewarding.

[Kinsz]

Cole and Blackwall.

[Korva]

I like most of them and regret they are so short. Wish Bioware had cut some of the optional world areas to instead implement more companion-, main quest- and Skyhold-related content. Eh.

 

My number one is Cole's, especially on the spirit path. Seeing him go from nearly unrecognizable with pain and desire for revenge to letting that go at Solas' quiet urging and embracing the purity of compassion instead ... I found it very touching, awe-inspiring and humbling. Dorian's is also very good in a painful way tinged with hope. Solas' quest didn't gutpunch me as much, but anything spirit-related is interesting -- and it also helps explain his harsh reaction to Cole's request to bind him. Cassandra's was interesting, but feels incomplete. It takes the random party banter between her and Cole to reveal the consequences of "is my faith even real", and I hate it when character development is locked behind RNG and limited party slots. Blackwall's quest was also pretty wrenching but, again, felt incomplete and disappointing in the end because there's no reaction to it from anyone unless you luck out with the RNG banter.

Oh, boy did I love Varric's Red Lyrium fetch quest! -___- 

 

But loved his actual personal quest which features Bianca! Finally!

That was the disappointing part for me. I expected someone more...unique, and seeing the enigmatic ex-flame of Varric screw up horribly and give me a death threat doesn't give me a good impression at all. Being voiced by Laura Bailey doesn't make up for this.

Didn't know who the VA was, so thanks for the info!  

 

I didn't expect to have the face of Bianca to be revealed in the game. It was actually fun to see someone not fantastical or super extraordinary for me in the case of Bianca. Since exaggerated tales are Varric's thing, to see an ordinary side to his personal life was actually fun and made things more interesting for me. 

[Chernaya]

Bull and Cole had my favorite personal quests. Much feels. Dorian's was nice too, it's a runner up. 

[Knight of Dane]

Same, those are good. I like Cassandra's as well, but mostly because it has things in it that none of the other companion quests have.

 

I liked Solas' quest too. Blackwall's was surprising but it came a bit late in the game I think.

 

The bad ones are Vivienne's and Josephine's. Killing a fing wyveern and doing three war table missions, yip de frickin' doo.

 

Varric's, Sera's and Coles were *meh*

 

Cole's were hardly a quest at all but very involving scenes that I rate highly because it's not just you and Cole that are invested in them.

 

Varric and Sera's are extremely underwhelming. Bianca is plain out boring and the quest is just in dang Valammar. Do you know what would have been cool? Going back to the primeval thaig itself seeing it completely overturned by red lyrium, maybe even encountering Red Lyrium Darkspawn (c'mon they have to exist!)

 

Sera's.... Well, it's just like Sera, but it could be much more. It would have been much better if you were just initially outplayed by the noble making Sera run a personal vendetta to hunt him down a few war table missions, maybe a codex or two and then a quest similkar to Cassandra's and then you have to face him.

Would help if it actually contained some character development, Sera is a character that really needed something like that.

[karushna5]

Blackwall I can't judge, someone joked to me that he was a desire demon and I was annoyed they spoiled it and believed them and thought okay, one way I would except a desire demon although this team is a bit too many demons (to be fair I never talked to blackwall) so when I found out I just felt "that's it?" But that is less him and more my expectations.

 

Iron Bulls was my favorite, My fiance was romancing him so she got to pick what she did and always our first playthroughs we pledge to pick the opposite for the most amount of content. For the rest of the game she mocked my decision, and I even stood in Krems empty chair he always insisted on standing when my dwarf character approached. It was sad.

 

Coles was great, I feel later they will revert the decision some way, but I loved how much of a change it had on him later and how much Solas and Varric were invested in it.

 

Cassandra's added a lot of lore although didn't have much other than that.

 

Dorian was pretty interesting. It would be higher up there if the narrative didn't treat his father sympathetically. That is a horror, the fact it isn't treated more like it seems absurd. I mean Goldanna was treated worse than him (by the narrative), You can kill flemeth for Morrigan thinking she could do stuff to her. Nathaniel had a quest to prove how bad his father was, Fenris may kill his sister, Varric kill Bertrand, All of these totally understandable, but the guy who may turn your mind to mush or best case scenario change something inherent about you needs to be forgiven is too much for me.

 

 Solas was great once, but the fact it ends the same,in you losing, no matter what can make it feel hopeless when you do it again.

 

Varric was disappointing because they gave us less answers than ever.  At this point I was just frustrated with the characters who could never give me a straight answer, questioning him about bianca was annoying and unsatisfying

 

Vivienne could have been good but hers was disappointing. I wish there was more character development and seemed like there was a missing scene

 

Sera's was weird in that it seemed to be there more for people who disliked her than liked her. You can turn on her here, and she can brutally murder him, but I didn't really see the point?

[Basement Cat]

I really liked Cole's and Dorian's. So many feels in there!

[New Kid]

Cole's, it had an oddly difficult choice. Didnt expect so many people to be a fan of the qun/chargers quest. I thought it was a bit on the nose.

Which is rather fitting for the Qunari. Either you follow the Qun or you don't.

[Luckyanna]

Oh, that would be Dorian's. So much feels... I literally stood up and applauded Bioware for going there.

You don't have to forgive him, you can just refuse to speak to him and take Dorian out of there, which is exactly what I did. I wouldn't say the narrative treats him sympathetically in any case. It's not like there's an option to approve of the attempted brainwash. True, you don't get an option to kill him, but I don't think that fits Dorian's character. And the fact that it's just a verbal confrontation made it so much more emotional. YMMV of course.

[karushna5]

I didn't want him to be killed, it just seems odd, and Cole seems to push at reconciliation and apparently says its better for Dorian afterward if he forgives. It just seems really odd that this is the one that deserved the family reunion, but it may just be that I am just jealous that my lack of family or LI Hawke couldn't invite Gamlen to live with her. And all the times I kinda wanted reconciliation between the companions and all their evil family. "Yes they are dysfunctional, but I am not sure you can make that argument knowing who you have been hanging out with. Dysfunctional frenemies just can't replace a dysfunctional family, be free"

[Luckyanna]

It's a very Cole thing to suggest. Dorian's anger is hurting him, therefore forgiving means no anger means no hurt means Cole's job is done

[Shari'El]

I liked Solas and Coles' personal quests the most.

Solas' one was kind of heartbreaking (especially if your character is an elf) and Cole... The one with Cole was difficult, it was a very though decision to make.

[Ieldra]

I tend to like those quests where a character's personal problem connects to lore aspects unique to the setting.

 

Which means Cole's is my favorite (spirits and how we relate to them), followed closely by Solas's (the same), Dorian's and Iron Bull's (Tevinter and Qun culture). 

 

Cullen's has potential but fails because the real-world analogy fails. Lyrium isn't just a source of an addiction, it gives you very useful abilities, and that aspect was completely ignored by his story if you choose to support him.

 

Blackwall's and Josephine's are ok, as well as Cassandra's. Leliana's and Sera's were unimpressive, and almost all of them, including my favorites, were much too short given that they were the only personally meaningful sidequests in DAI. I wonder what prevented them from being as long as DA2's three-part companion quests.

[leadintea]

Blackwall's and Cole's were my favorite, though I also liked Leliana's craftiness in her quest.
