Gee, really?

 

 

I know right? The compulsion to constantly complete those requisitions. We only punish ourselves.

Seriously?

[KaiserShep]

Yeah if you leave one incomplete she'll always just say "nothing to report".

What do you mean?

Just accept a requisition in the zone but, never fill it, that leaves the officer saying "Nothing to report, Ser." It's better than having her bug you with reports when you don't need the power anymore.

I'm pretty sure January is just trolling at this point...

This only works if you don't have a complex about having an unfilled quest in your log. On my second play, I decided to do this, leaving the requisition until the very last thing to turn in on the map. Unfortunately, I got one req that bugged out and didn't disappear. I've never taken a req from that time onward.

It's rather contradictory to start your thought off with the notion that Sera is insincere with her intent to help the Inquisitor, while following that with statements based off of things Sera herself actually tells you in order for you to know these things. She outright admits that she's in it to get things back to normal so she can do her own thing and possibly make money while doing it, with helping other people and the Inquisitor as a bonus. She then even admits about her own selfish curiosity (funny because she herself admits that it's selfish). As far as we can tell, she's been pretty forthcoming about her intentions. Just about the only thing she really refused to go into detail about is what she was up to in her youth. 

 

The part that I find the most bothersome though is that bit about how it's a cheap argument to want to help a certain group if you're also part of that group. Like….wat? I guess it's just me and my total rejection that altruism is a thing, (I believe anything and everything has some degree of selfishness involved, be it concerns for material gain or simply emotional satisfaction), but it just seems wrong. 

At end Sera comment was to stay in Inquisition and not want go back to her past life. But I can't comment her personality deeply because I play with her a while but then made switches based on some weird reasons (she was close range thief and switched to Varric for long range).

 

For me the problem of comparing is you can't play them all fully in one play.

 

A good example is Blackwall, I played a large part of the game with both Blackwall and Dorian and they hate each other, so much that I had a one time dialog option to arbitrate their constant dispute but missed the opportunity, I have been too slow or walking breaking it. The point is all this banter gave more substance to his personality. You get multiples little clues there's something behind and it adds a little bit of mystery at least for first play, Blackwall is involved in a major secondary quest, and everything related to Grey Wardens and darkspawn. He gets a second development.

 

So he is probably a bit less developed than some other, but if you stick to a quick try with him, you have experienced not much. That's a general problem of companions writing in DAI, they took too much time to build an interesting marking personality.

 

Myself I can't say I hate any but I feel Cole as a burden, he is the typical pure white paladin and the child shift is only half tempering the problem, for me it aggravates the problem. And this is aggravated by the naive writing around mind reading, one example he disarm someone who then get killed because unarmed, or he help a couple to make peace and it ends in a blood bath, many more showing firstly that judgment and decide for other or even the community isn't that easy. Moreover the mind reading comments during quests are quite a burden.

Whaaaa?

(Okay, I'm done trolling. )

[KotorEffect3]

Vivienne, she puts  too much stock in appearance and is more concerned with status and posturing for power.  She has her uses though I just don't like her personally.  

[Melbella]

Yeah if you leave one incomplete she'll always just say "nothing to report".

 
Unfortunately, even that is enough to interrupt banter, so you still need to avoid her at all costs. I can't wait to be able to fast travel to a zone without needing to use a camp, and I give wide berths when walking by them. Just in case. Not having req officers in Frostback Basin was (almost) the best part of JoH.

[AlanC9]

Fast travel breaks the banter timer anyway, doesn't it?

Supposedly, but sometimes companions start talking right away and then get interrupted by the ***** req officer. Characters like that should never speak automatically but, even if they do, should NEVER override/interrupt/otherwise-cause-to-not-fire companion dialogue.

[Valerius]

In all honesty Sera is the only character that I think of when asked which I dislike. Everyone else I can tolerate but for some reason she just annoys me and to this day she is the only companion that I have never taken out in the world after the initial recruitment. 

[Jedi Comedian]

I don't hate Sera. I actually would give her a roll or two.

I do hate Cory The Mustache-twirling Villain.

I know this is old, but I wanted to reply. Fast travel within a map should not reset the timer. If you're in the Hinterlands and travel to a camp there, the timer should continue on, and in fact this has been my experience. BUT if you travel to another map -- from Hinterlands to Storm Coast -- that will reset the timer.

[ThomasBlaine]

Vivienne. Can't stand her. Her attitude, her clothes, her character history, her confused fans, what she represents for the series...

 

Her position on the mage circle issue seems like it should be sensible, but every word out of her mouth on the subject just makes her sound more and more like a pompous lunatic who thinks she knows how to be pragmatic. Ugh.

[Lucidae]

I detest Isabella.

[R0vena]

Bianca. Poor Varric, he has my uttermost sympathies. Such a bad luck, to fall in love with... that.

 

I actually quite like all my Inner Circle guys (and gals). Sera included, I find her very funny.

[sleepyy]

I found myself disliking Solas even before finding out the truth about him I don't know why but at the beginning, there was just something about him that just didn't sit well with me. Plus every choice I made, he disapproved, so I will guess that he probably dislikes me back... 

[kimgoold]

Laughing @ the title of this OP.

 

Solas, because he's too damn hard to please and always gets his breeches in a knot over my decision making. Racist against Qunari/Tal Vashoth which earned him a smack in the face.

 

And if you wanna get back at "Madam De Fer", there is a way. Psychologically it is better than smacking her out.

 

Oh Please tell me, I really hate that creature whom I wish my inky could call Vivi in game because she'd hate it. (I wouldn't mind b-slapping her tho)

Well he starts out by giving you a hard time the 1st time you initiate convo in Haven.  I never liked him from step one in the game either.  Decent character and good voice actor, I have no problem, with his overall role in the game but just never liked his attitude towards me.

Same, whenever I talked to him, I always felt like he was there for an ulterior motive. The way his eyes look at you disapprovingly but not saying much. I hope in Dragon Age 4 we can deal with him... sorry Solas lovers but he has to go...

I like Solas and think he's a great character, but his arrogance and condescension really get to me sometimes lmao, specifically when I'm playing as Adaar or Cadash and he's all "no your people are totally useless, trust me, I know stuff, you're the only special one" or he makes some other sharp comment that illustrates how glaringly obvious it is to him that he thinks of them as less than him. It's less annoying now that I've played Trespasser, because I'm less like "Solas, buddy, what are you doing....stop it...why can't you be more open-minded" and more like "alright, you keep refusing to let yourself see the people of this world as valuable in order to justify your plan, you jerk"

 

I've been trying to think of a character I hate in this game and failing, tbh. Probably my least favorite of the major characters is Varric, but that's just because he doesn't add much to the story, but I'm enormously fond of him as a character. Maybe Stroud, for the same reason that if he's in the game, I'm much less invested in the end of Here Lies the Abyss. I also find Morrigan annoying at times, which is frustrating because I love her.

 

My most hated character in the game is probably the non-presence of the Architect because I'm much more frustrated about him not appearing than any character in the game.

 

And I love Sera! She's so well written. I get frustrated sometimes at how limited our reactions to her can be, but that's the same with a lot of companion conversations, and really depends on the type of character I'm trying to play.

[Forsythia77]

In this game?  I'm assuming companions here and not NPCs and stuff.  Solas by a mile.  Never did like him from the get go.  Something about him and his mannerisms just raised my hackles.  In the entire series?  Sebastian.  He and that overly large belt buckle can suck it.

[Lulupab]

Pretty sure Sera and Vivienne would compete closely if a poll was made for this.
