I guess for this experiment they would be exactly how they are in the games, so killing people. But to me it's not about that, it's about mindset. That's why none of the assassin-type people are in my friends category, and quite a few are rivals. Their mindsets are incompatible with mine, and yours, it would seem. As for most of the others, the killing done is generally justified (self-defense etc), especially if you play a "good-guy" PC. That's my opinion anyway.
Well it's more that I just can't see myself moving in the same circles as most of them. Except for DA2, the Dragon Age characters are brought together because they really need to go kill something. We don't really see what the Origins or Inquisition cast gets up to when they aren't trying to save the world. In DA2, you get a better appreciation of what the companions' daily lives are like, but there's still a lot of time spent going around and fighting things. I can see why my Warden, Hawke, and Inquisitor are friends with them, but for me personally it's kind of hard to imagine being friends with these people unless it's some sort of alternate universe where they're all content to hang out in a coffee shop.
But if we're just going by personality, I'd say I'd probably be friends with:
Varric (aforementioned slightly-shady friend who has your back regardless)
Aveline (friends in a, "she bitches about her day at work and I listen sympathetically" sort of way)
Cassandra (we could talk about smutty - but not actually that smutty - novels together!)
Solas (strikes me as the kind of guy that you could stay up all night having mind-blowing conversations about ideas with)
Unhardened!DAO!Leliana (her older version is a bit too grim, but bubbly Leli and I would get along just fine)
Alistair (reminds me of my kid brother, seems like he'd be fun to be around, though he really needs to cut down on the deflection-through-humour thing)
Dorian (not sure if the slavery apologism would be a dealbreaker, but he's fun and basically a magical grad student. I think we could have some cool conversations)
Josephine (Probably the most normal member of the Inquisition. Seems like she could use a friend)
Human!Cole (spirit cole is a bit too alien to be friends with, but human cole seems like he'd be a good person to have around)
I'm torn about Zev. On the one hand, I think he'd be an amazing person to be around. On the other hand, I have a feeling that he'd troll me mercilessly.
Would probably be worth it, though. Similarly torn about Bull and Sera. Bull is a good friend, but he also finds most pleasure in fighting. Since I can't do that, I'm not sure what we'd have in common. Sera is fun, but also immature. I'd love to be friends with a Sera that's a bit older and more self-aware.
