 Anders by a long county mile.

 

And no, it is not simply because I disagree with him on the central issue that defines him, as I disagree with almost everything Solas thinks or says but still appreciate and enjoy his character a lot. Anders, however, is a wannabe revolutionary figure but does not have the style or political sense to pull it off. In the end, he is just Meredith on the mages' side -- another poor character. I, as a general rule, have hate for overzealous moral ideologues. They are the worst kind of people in the world, IMO. You think of examples of the most terrible individuals that ever lived, and they will fit that bill every time.

 

Worse, I do think Anders could have been written as a really interesting character and even liked the general idea behind him. It was an execution failure, though. He was irritating, hypocritical, and utterly unconvincing. He needed to be the opposite of all three to make his character concept work.

I only dislike characters that I consider boring.

 

DA:O. Talking to Sten was like talking to a brick, unproductive. Being with Wynne was like going to crurch with a hangover. Ohgren was a walking cliche that farts, not really interesting after the deep roads. Dog was... well, a dog.

DA: awak: Velanna, apart from boring, unbearable (and people complain about Sera or Vivienne). Nathaniel, I can't remember why.

DAII. Sebastian, for a DLC character he was very forgettable.

DA:I. Blackwall wasn't very interesting...

I forgot about Velanna...she was such a grump and her voice was irritating. I didn't want to have anything to do with her.

DAO - Oghren. Despicable character.

DA2 - Anders, by a freaking mile.

DAI - Sera or Blackwall

[KaiserShep]

Anders. I didn't even like his Awakening persona, but it got worse in DA2 with his constant griping about mages and Templars. The guy could never regail us with stories of his past or go on about something else long enough to make him more enjoyable to be around. It's this reason that he is the only companion that I've ever kicked out of the group. His healer skills were just not enough for me to keep him around in Bethany's absence.

 

Runner up has to be Vivienne. I understand her position and she does amuse me, but at times the gist of her conversations just rub me the wrong way. You have to look your best dear blah blah blah. It's the sort of thing that makes the back of my eyeballs itch. It's just so gorram uppity that it makes me want to give her the regular wyvern heart to screw with her. Thankfully, there's enough to her that I can look past some of it and happily have my Inquisitor be on good terms with her, but it feels like a steep climb.

 

Sera.

Just... ugh. I want to kill myself every time I have a conversation with her. She's so immature and self-righteous, and the game gives you no chance to seriously punish her for her actions. Where's the option to put her to death for murder?

I mean, we got the option to let Blackwall die, but not Sera?

 

It's always a little funny to me to see anyone get up in arms about Pel Harmond, despite the fact that the guy just previously tried to kill your party, and previously murdered people because they got in the way of his exploitation of refugees for personal gain, unlike the people Blackwall got killed, who were totally innocent, among them being children, for his personal gain. Like, if we encountered Harmond as the Warden, most of us would probably have just stuck our murder knives into him, because f*** that guy. I'm just disappointed that we couldn't murder him ourselves.

[Iadro]

Origins: No one in the vanilla game, really, except that rapist Bann that the City Elf slaughters. Perhaps Velanna in Awakening.

 

DA2: Fenris mildly and SEBASTIAN to the extreme. Ugh. Go pillage another city you hypocritical moldy cassock. Tallis can be his Queen in the Most Distinguished Court of Royal A-Holes.

 

DAI: Vivienne, of course. The fact that the Inquisition cannot deal with an obviously dangerous political threat like her... ! Samson the Templar for having plot armor and being a horrible person besides. Sera for being just plain unpleasant to be around. 

[Sable Rhapsody]

Oghren suffered from being both crude and generally uninteresting.  He had moments of depth, but not enough to be worth his word budget IMO.  And Blackwall was a fascinating character on paper, but a little flat in execution.

 

I might not have liked all of the other companions, but at least they were all interesting people with great stories to tell.  That to me is the most important part of a character, not whether I personally liked having them around.

[Assassino01]

I've only hated one character in the entire franchise, Vivienne. And not good hate, like with a brilliant villain. 

[Jaison1986]

In Origins I disliked Alistair and Wynne. One was an warden apologist and the other an Chantry boot licker. 

 

In DA2, mostly Fenris and Anders. Though, I mostly just ignored them, bringing them to personal quests or to other places to get some approval.

 

In Inquisition, mostly Vivienne. Probally the worst of all.

This is kind of hypocrital considering Sera is willing to step as low as Harmond himself. I mean, killing an unarmed man, how brave of Sera. I didn't killed the guy because that quest was nothing but pointless killing from both sides. Both Sera and Harmond were acting like an couple of petty idiots.

[Korva]

Morrigan. I dislike Oghren, Sten, Vivienne, Iron Bull and Sera (not having played DA2 partly because none of its companions beside Aveline sounded the least bit interesting to me, I can't comment on them) ... but at least they can be ignored. Morrigan, aside from the fact that i despise everything about her personality, is rammed down our throats repeatedly and has been from the start, look-look-look-isn't-she-awesome-don't-you-adore-her-too-style, stealing spotlight time and lines from the characters I actually want to interact with, and it just makes me want to retch. It'll be even worse in future games if Flemeth is really dead now and Morrigan gets her power.

[myahele]

when you thinnk of you it you dont really know Anders too well. You dont know his real name, not much about his past. Wont really talk about his time with the wardens and to top it off he's slowly merging with Justice.

 

Anyways, my least fave would have to be Fenris, Merrill, Oghren, Iron Bull and Sera

I really do not see the hypocrisy here, and quite frankly, whether or not he was armed makes no meaningful difference to me for one simple reason: he's in this position because he failed to have the people he laid the trap for killed. If someone arranged an ambush to have me killed, and I happened to get the upper hand and beat the assailants, if the guy who arranged it is there, he will most likely die no matter what, because I would rather not deal with him again. If he didn't want to risk his own life, he should have stayed home and let the hired swords do their work. Of course, the Inquisitor has the backing of a substantial infrastructure to simply take his title and land, but if it was someone like Hawke or the Warden, who had no such thing, he would die without hesitation. It also bears reminding that this was all in response to what was essentially a peaceful tactic to get nobles to stop giving refugees a hard time.

How much you'd bet if the murder knife was available for the inquisitor in that scene, so that they'd kill him first.

[FeliciaM]

I have one for each game. In Origins, I actually like all the characters... but in Awakening, my tolerance for Velanna is nil. She can die in a fire. In Dragon Age 2, it's Anders. I'm fine with him in the beginning of the game, but his tirade about mages being oppressed grates on my last nerve. And yes, I'm sympathetic to their cause. Fenris gets on my nerves, too... but I have a soft spot for him. Not sure why. And in Inquisition, it's definitely Vivienne. I just don't like her. Sera gets on my last nerve as well, but she's a lot like my younger sister... so I can't hate her outright

[Dieb]

DA:I - Cole, Sera, Blackwall

 

I had to chuckle, that's my party!

 

(But I understand the people who do, in each case)

My problem with that scene was the very way she kills him.

 

I think just the execution (literally) is the most violent scene in the entire franchise - it's so gross in fact, I'd require an additional subplot-arc to deal with that psychotic kill itself, talking to her. I've seen gory stuff in media for a fair share, but just seeing that scene on someone's YT playthrough "ruined" Sera for me for a short while, actually. Maybe I'm completely on the wrong page, but while she probably killed a bunch of people, I did not pick up from her throughout my playthrough she ever did something has purely violent as that in her lifetime. You see, I kinda get the impression that it's even supposed to be "funny".

 

Hence, I always choose to talk her down and tell the guy to scram or die, cause I probably couldn't be friends with her without a proper opportunity to talk that one through and lead her to some sort of "change" with it.

[BraveVesperia]

DAO: Oghren. I just can't. Sometimes he's actually funny, or a little sympathetic. Most of the time I just want him to stay far, far away. Especially since in Awakening it actually removes him more appealing qualities.

 

DA2: Anders (and since DAI, Sebastian). I won't get into it with Anders, but sometimes I feel sorry for him, because of what's happened to him (and Justice). And I do appreciate that he wants to help mages. But the way he acts really grates on the nerves, and then it's topped off with 'try to get the Kirkwall Circle killed to incite a mage-templar war'. Meanwhile Sebastian follows through on his 'raze Kirkwall to the ground' threat if Anders lives. Not cool, Sebastian. Not cool.

 

DAI: I don't have one, I think. At the moment, Bull, Cullen or Blackwall might be my least favourite, because I'm not as engaged with them. I don't actually dislike them though.

 

 I did not pick up from her throughout my playthrough she ever did something has purely violent as that in her lifetime. You see, I kinda get the impression that it's even supposed to be "funny".

I definitely don't think it was supposed to be funny (unless you pick the middle option and make light of it). She seemed like she was in a violent rage and lost it, to the point she didn't seem to realise the guy was already dead. I'm not keen on that scene, because of how negatively affected Sera seemed to be. Though personally I tend to be more chilled by people killing completely coldly and emotionlessly (like potentially in Leliana's personal quest).

[sjsharp2011]

The only character I don't seem to click with is Zevran but I do seem to get on with everyone else. If I had to pick one for each game I'd say Zevran for DAO Carver for DA2 as he kind of reminds me a bit of my brother and the arguments we used to have, and Sera for Inquisition as she just strikes me as a bit weird.

Did you also killed Zevran and Velanna then?

[Isaidlunch]

Arl Eamon. I wish we could have thrown his comatose body into Lake Calenhad and just made Teagan the new Arl instead.

[Dragonzzilla]

That one demon. You know, that one. Literally all of its dialogue consists of "I want to see the world through new eyes", "Let me live, and I'll shower you with gifts", or "YOU'RE NOTHING TO ME, MORTAL". I pulled out the Murder Knife on that fool.

 

Self-righteous ass.

[Potato Cat]

Cole. I enjoyed reading his wiki page entries. And then I read Asunder. And then I played DAI. I seriously cannot stand any aspect of the character and I hope to the Bioware gods I never have to put up with Cole ever again.

[TaHol]

Leliana. She did not exist in my DAO. Died every time in Lothering after "Zevran ASAP" was made. Before that I tolerated her until I got Zevran and then kicked out.  I never cared much about Morrigan either, but she did not annoy me nearly as much as Leliana. Listening Leliana for me is like listening someone scratch plate with a fork. This is ofc my personal opinion and I understand that many others love these characters deeply and they are very popular.

 

Somehow BioWare red my mind, decided to hatch a revenge and look what we have in DAI.

 

Btw, Vivienne does not exist in my DAI after first playthrough. She has this endless salong going on in somewhere and good riddance.

[Julmor]

Alot of characters growv on me after reruns. Especially Vivienne. During the first run i thought she was a wasted opportunity, who had a great introduction only to literally do nothing afterwards. During later reruns I appreciate her alot more. She has great party banter (especially with Ironbull, Cole and Dorian) and I like how people have vastly different interprations of her character and her motivations.

[Snook]

Anders and Fenris are probably the only characters I actively dislike.
