as when my Inquisitor was fighting some baddies in the fields near Crestwood, and Blackwall got confused in his targeting and used Grappling Chain on a nearby druffalo.

 

Which proceeded to stampede directly over him.

 

Best. Moment. Ever.

I had a similar problem in the Emerald Graves the other day.  Got into a bit of a scuffle with a giant and, when we killed it, Dorian's necromancer spell kicked in, and we suddenly had a massive wraith just standing around.  It then proceeded to walk over and kick a bronto, which took offense and attacked the party.

 

The giant-ghost then walked over to another near by giant, and punched it in the face.  So now that guy starts coming after us.  The bronto goes down, only for Dorian's spell to trigger, making another ghost.  The newest edition to our group charges into another bronto.

 

It went on like that for a lot longer than I'm willing to admit.

How is unintentional agro funny?  Don't get me wrong I relate to your topic and it happens.  But why is it funny?

[Catbus]

Because using Grappling Chain on a druffalo is something I can kind of imagine Blackwall doing on purpose.

Because I can imagine the Inquisitor yelling, "Dorian!  Knock that **** off!"

 

And Dorian coming back, "No, no! This time it'll work... probably!"

I was fighting some Lyrium smugglers in the Hinterlands early in my Nightmare run, and Cassandra decides to challenge a family of bears and invite them to the party. Awesome.

I had this same encounter though sometimes I think Varric was the culprit; he brought in two brontos. My inq was rammed off her feet one after another by charging brontos.   I learned to lure the giants away after that.

 

Hinterlands can also be a problem, especially after getting the Bear quest. One large bear after another appear, followed by a brown bear, then its pal, a pack of dogs scented the battle, a couple of bandit rogues turn up and everything went mad.

[Precursor Meta]

It gets pretty bad in the emerald graves. When I'm fighting two giants simultaneously, someone in my party always attract the attention of nearby Brontos, and thus makes a already difficult fight more challenging.

[Maverick827]

That's so Blackwall.

[lynroy]

 That's funny, OP.

I love it when companions do that. Although there was one time where I only had myself to blame. I was fighting the Crestwood dragon and everything was going well. There was a small herd of Druffalo nearby and I used Long Shot (upgraded with Archer's Lance so it goes through targets) that ripped through the dragon and proceeded to hit one of the Druffalo.... I had no idea until the thing came charging at me! I was like "WHAT THE HELL? Where did you come from!? Evade! Evade! Cass, help! Dorian, do something! DRAGON, WAIT YOUR TURN!"

The druffaloes and I have a love-hate relationship. They gather in groups around those giants in Emerald Graves, so if you accidentally hit them (which you can't help because the damn things are right there!) you're going to have to fend them off while dodging giants that could kill you with one hit. Ugh!

 

On the other hand... two druffaloes helped we take down a dragon once. Haha. Yep. That ornery one in Crestwood. This was back before I got my specialization, and before I figured out the trick to fighting that thing. I was pretty scared; my party was wiped out and I was down to 2 potions... but the dragon had about an 8th of its health left, so we were both desperate to hang on. By some luck, one of the dragon's attacks hit a couple of druffaloes grazing nearby, and they charged it like a couple of crazed berserkers! LOL. Thank god for their incredible guard, because they kept its attention away from me long enough for me to sneak behind the damn thing and kill it. It was so close! My brother and I had a huge laugh over that. Of course, then the druffaloes turned on me, so I had to run for my life. What was I supposed to do? I was out of potions! But yeah, good times...

I had a similar experience in the Fallow Mire. There are those hippopotamus-lookalike critters wandering around. This one time my (mage) PC stood on the edge of the water to blast a random Wraith, not knowng one of those is right next. This apparently triggered the Stormbringer passive on the creature, which immediately proceeds to charge through and knock down all 4 of my merry band. We fight back, but while I'm distracted Sera stands in the waterfor some time and gathers a healthy crowd of undead which start slashing at everything. When I finally get the Guard of the critter down, another of his kind decides to join the party, fortunately it mostly hits the undead. Meanwhile the Wraith keeps blasting my party all the time I'm hanging on to dear life between the swarming undead, the knockback and yelling at Cassandra to stay out of the damn water. After exhausting my potion stock and reviving too many people to count, we finally get everyone down. 

 

At this point i just imagine the Inquisitor took a sideway glance at Sera and proposed to never again speak of the killer hippopotamus is she doesn't.

The opposite of what I had. Nice!

Oh, I just read yours! Lol. So funny how that battle went in totally different directions for us. Mine started out really bad, and then ended surprisingly well. Yeah okay, maybe not "well" since I was more than half dead by the end, but I did kill it! Yours, however, started out well, then ended hilariously bad.

 

Damn those druffaloes! Who knew they'd be the tipping point between victory and defeat in a battle against dragons?

spending a lot of time in the stables has it's side effects.... the funniest moment for me was when viviene said during a banter that he should bathe sometimes because he kinda stinks.

Considering the amount of times Cassandra has Charging Bull'd away from a very heated battle that I'm barely winning to invite more enemies to join it's a wonder I still like her. She's just not satisfied with the demon horde that's 5 levels higher than the party, she's got to go and smack into 3 gurns. I'm starting to wonder who's side she's actually on.

....or nugs, or fennecs accompanied by yelling so loud you'd think she spotted a dragon.

[They call me a SpaceCowboy]

In my experience this might be accidental targeting on the part of the player. I find often I'll auto target to something new and my companions dutifully run off to attack it.

Sometimes it is, but I caught it happening when I was looking in completely different direction. Something triggers the attack mode and it's chaos for everyone.

You really have to take that toy away from them, they have no sense at all. 

 

awesome cartoons

[moxiegraphix]

Those cartoons are great. And I've found myself, more than once, turning off someone's charging bull ability in tactics.

[Vox Draco]

Varric ... back-flipping into a nearby chasm we fought close to against Darkspawn...

 

Returned with zero heath, started shooting again and .. back-flipped again into the chasm ...

 

Clever merchant-spymaster? ... ^^

[moxiegraphix]

I don't know why they use that backflip move when no enemies are near them (I'm ready to go off on a tactics rant, I swear). That's an escape move, intended to put distance between the character and the enemy while filling them full of arrows. Varric and Sera both do it and the only option to keep them from accidentally suiciding off a ledge is to turn it off. *sighs*
