Companions are always the characters I really focus on in games, so are the only characters who I either really like or dislike. In Origins I could not stand Oghren, I thought he was revolting. However, he made me laugh when I had Zevran in the party. The banter between the two was amusing. Other than some amusing dialogue I couldn't stand him. It was worse when I discovered I had him as a companion in Awakening, I would have preferred Zevran, but alas he was in Antiva at the time. 

 

Dragon Age 2 I never completely disliked any of the companions, but there was something about Merril that got onto my nerves. She was always the one character I would rival. I suppose I couldn't stand how naive and ditzy she was. Yet, there was something oddly adorable about her that made me have her in my party often. 

 

Sera is very close minded. If there is one thing I cannot stand it's those who lack an open mind. I do respect those who stand by their beliefs, but sometimes there is an extent to where it becomes less admirable, and more aggravating. One thing that did appeal to me was she was kind of funny, and I have a slight weakness for characters who know their way around a bow.

I liked that Sera can flee the Inquisitor, and Inquisition, forever.  Possibly in tears.  Also possibly fearing for her life.

[KaiserShep]

Anders likes cats.

[stop_him]

Sera's not dead yet so there's nothing for me to like about her. She has zero positive qualities. I don't particularly dislike other characters.

[The Lone Shadow]

Characters I dislike:

 

Sera: I like her quirky way of talking, even though I sometimes have to take a moment to piece together what she is saying. I also like that she can make my inquisitor feel more like a person then a religious icon with her pranks and try to make others see the inquisitor as more of a person then a savior to be revered. The inquisitor needs someone to get their mind off all the doom and Sera can be that person. I agree with her dislike of "big people punching down." I would have probably liked her if it wasn't for her anti-elf issues and how nasty she can be to a dalish inquisitor, even if said inquisitor is fine about her not wanting to be all elfy. She doesn't show the same respect for the elf inquisitor. Also, how she thinks elves should get rid of their culture and just assimilate into human society.  After all, human society crushed them so therefor humans are superior. The whole might makes right argument really ticks me off. Bleh. That killed her for me. 

 

Vivienne: She's intelligent on some matters, except when your talking about gray wardens or the blights, then she sounds like an idiot.

 

Wynne: How annoyed she gets with Zevran.

 

Liked characters:

 

Cassandra: The disrespect she shows at the Temple of Mythal, and her racist comment about  how my elf must be touched by the Maker or they couldn't possibly come this far due to their elfiness. Yeah, thanks for that Cass. Also, how she looks to my inquisitor to reaffirm her faith. I can kind of sympathizes with her on this, but at the same time I felt it was a bit unfair to my inquisitor. 

 

Solas: He can be a jack*** sometimes.

Nothing else comes to mind right now.

 

But as for Blackwall, I'm pretty neutral on him up until his disguise disappears and he tries to make others look just as bad as him. i. e Iron Bull if you let the chargers die Blackwall berates him for it.

 

Okay Blackwall.

 

1) If he didn't do it then the people on the boat would have died instead, its a lose lose situation either way. 

 

2) He did it on my orders, so if you want to criticize anyone for it, it should be me. 

 

3) His men knew what they were getting into, yours didn't.

 

4) You should be the last person to judge him for what happened, considering you abandoned your men to die because you were a coward.

[The Lone Shadow]

Now that I think about it, I would have liked Vivienne more if they didn't give her plot and dialogue armor. Like if I could have more with her then a one sided debate and if the inquisitor could throw her butt out during the furniture bit. But since I can't, it ruins the role playing for me so I can't even recruit her anymore. That's actually another good thing that Sera has going for her, you can kick her out at anytime.

 

Vivienne <<<< Sera

[KaiserShep]

Sera's not dead yet so there's nothing for me to like about her. She has zero positive qualities. I don't particularly dislike other characters.

You don't like that you can kick her out?

[Deztyn]

Most of the characters are so well written that even if I wouldn't like them as people I still appreciate them for being a fantastic piece of writing. So there's only a handful that I can really say I dislike.

Morrigan: It took me a long time to warm up to her character, eventually I began to appreciate her pragmatic approach to Blight ending. If we really were on a quest to save the world taking the time to find someone's lost puppy or rescue kittens from trees would be a very inefficient way to go about it. I started to think it was refreshing to have a character who recognized how utterly ridiculous sidequests are.

Sera: She's immature, obnoxious and ignorant. These are the things I love about her, because it makes her entertaining as all hell and I want to keep her in my party with Solas, Cole and Vivienne at all times. Unfortunately, there are not enough character slots for that.

Merril: She's pretty sweet and innocent for a blood mage who deals with demons to restore tainted artifacts. I also really like putting her in the same party as Fenris and Anders.  

Leliana: She... err... I have some pretty awesome early game armor thanks to her.

Anders: Uh. He was originally voiced by Greg Ellis? Oh. And when I murder-knife him I always imagine there's a little Tonberry *doink* and it makes me giggle...

The characters that I love best:

 

Alistair: His insecurity and immaturity are his biggest flaws. But he's so wonderfully written that it's hard for me to really complain.  Nearly everything he does I can say "Yeah. I understand why he does this and thinks this way."

 

Fenris: His angsty broodiness can be a bit grating at times but again, he's written so well I find it hard to care about his flaws and instead say "Yeah. I understand why he does this and thinks this way.... I should give him a hug"

 

Aveline and Sebastian: I love that both characters have strong convictions. I hated that they never lived up to them due to the forced party members and potentially wretched things your Hawke could do. So in some playthroughs they are both extremely hypocritical for staying with Hawke.

 

Cullen: I adore him in all three games, but his Lyrium addiction storyline was lore-breaking, and while I understand his choice to leave the Templars, I would have preferred to see him rebuilding the Order the right way instead of abandoning it. I like to headcanon that after Inquisition he becomes the leader of Divine Cass's rebuilt Seekers.

Cassandra: After DA2 I thought I would hate her, she was too harsh and aggressive. Instead she became my absolute favorite party member. I want to say the way she treated Varric after he brings Hawke in was awful... but it was too funny for me to really judge her and she recognizes how badly she behaved afterwards.

 

Iron Bull, Dorian, Cole: I love all three but since I like to RP my characters it's really hard to justify recruiting the Qunari spy with his own agenda, the Tevinter Mage who "warns me" of danger when it's too late to do anything or the spirit/demon who freely admits to killing mages and wants to murder-knife one of my wounded soldiers.

 

Vivienne: I've got nothing. She's perfect.  
 

[S.W.]

The Inquisitor: I liked when Corypheus threw her.

 

oh jesus christ this, unless you RP and headcanon fairly seriously and draw up some elaborate backstory, the Inquisitor is like a double-bland sandwich with an extra filling of mediocre blandness and irritating voice acting.

[Erasthenes]

Bianca Davri annoys me. I admire her practical skills but don't like the ego that goes with it & that parting comment in Valammar about feeding the Inquisitor his/her own eyeballs while you just stand there & let her get away with it is proper irritating!

[ShallowlLife9871]

orghen: his rivaly with Dog.it provides some larghs 

 

Fenris: cool voice, and a good tank. but can't get past how nasty he can be.

 

Vivanne: .....i like her hat. and her determnation. but That doesn't change the fact she is complete and uter Cow. 

[Serelir]

Vivanne: .....i like her hat. and her determnation. but That doesn't change the fact she is complete and uter Cow. 

I love her hat, too! I forgot about that, because I stuck her in an ugly cowl early on. If I can't wear the hat, NO ONE gets to wear it.

[ShallowlLife9871]

lol

I  do the same thing. 

 

 

 

revenge is sweet

[Aren]

Dog,i hate him because is one dimensional,but i like the fact that he is the only one who do not whine,well at least when he is not washed by Wynne.

[Ninna]

Vivienne approved when I told her to mind her own business. I was surprised and delighted; I still dislike her but I respect how she values determination.

[Hauk]

Sten took the strong silent type thing too far. That said, it made his all-too-few attempts at humor stand out that much more, and that's what I liked about him.

 

I like Leliana's voice, but the actual character always felt forced to me. Inquisition went a long way towards fixing that.

 

Isabella looks fabulous. Not much of a character beyond that.

 

Vivienne has style and class. She knows how to have a good time. I actually like Vivienne, but her politics never seem to line up with my Inquisitor.

[GoldenGail3]

People that I hate...
Oghren: He's so annoying, I have no like of him.... I mean, I don't really think he has remedeming qualities. So none.
Valenna: She's so self-righteous, and even loud, i wish my Amell/Cousland could've wore earplugs around her so that they wouldn't hear her yells. But I do like that she's passionate in her belief, I guess.
Sera: Ugh, a little kid in a adults body. I wish she wasn't so anti-Dalish though, she's like the opposite version of Valenna, I guess she's funny and humorous in conversions though.
Vivenne: Ugh, Vivenne is a royalist, so pro-Chantry, while my Amell is Aquatrain? Yeah, I don't like her noble snobby attitude. But I
I'm glad that she's not Anders though, in her beliefs.
Anders: Mages are always right, SHUP UP ANDERS! No really, he should've just shut up and never came into my game. I like him in Awakening though' I guess.
Characters I adore:
Alistair: He's my sweet, warm canon romance. I love him so much I have nothing bad to say about him.
Wynne: She's the grandmother to all of my characters, I was sad that she died though. But I do guess I don't like her questioning my Canons relationship with Alistair.
Cullen: I love him, my darling sweet Cullen. I felt bad for you in DAO, but I loved you, and in DA2, he was kind of ingorant, I guess, I felt that he was a bit of Merdiths tool in DA2 to be honest. In DAI. I have nothing to bad to say about him.
Nathienal: Oh, he's my Couslands first boyfriend (no Alistair, I have no feelings for him.) But I wish that he had more character? I guess that's what I'd say about Sigrun, too.
Sigrun: My Male Cadash would so want her, he'd go insane. She's a epic female Dwarf, I love her, but I wish she had more character though.

[jawsisinmywc]

Oooo this looks like a fun topic. So I like all the characters as they were written, so when I list the characters I don't like, I don't like them as if they were real people.

Vivienne: she is really clever and that can be really useful, but man I would never let her walk behind me as I am sure she would literally stab me in the back. Also, I see her as someone that could adapt to new situations really quickly if she needed to.

Ogren: I personally have a problem with drunks based off of family history. He just seems like that kind of guy that I wouldn't want to be alone with. But he is a good warrior and seems to have no problem running first into a horde of Darkspawn, so he has that going for him, which is nice.

Sera: My feelings on her are similar to Solas'. "I do not understand you Sera!". She is as stubborn as a mule/cat hybrid. The fact though, that she really cares about the little people means a lot to me, which is why I don't necessarily dislike her.

Velanna: She cares deeply for her sister.

Sten: I imagine all other Stens to be like him. I wouldn't say I disliked him, I just had no feeling towards him. He was prepared to be punished for his crime. Also he likes cookies and I like cookies too.

Loghain: The road to hell is paved with good intentions and how could one ever truly know if they are "on the road to hell". And I think he truly believed he was doing what was best in the long run for Ferelden.

Rendon Howe: he is voiced by Tim Curry.

[Forsythia77]

I personally am pretty straightforward and to the point.  So the game as it is played in Orlais bothers the crap out of me.  Still, I give people like Vivienne props for having the time and inclination to master it.  I'm not a violent woman by nature, but I would have kicked some nobles in the junk and gotten on with it.  Or curled into a fetal ball and just cried.  Either/or.  But props to her for mastering all that and getting what she wanted.

 

I don't really have much to say about Solas.  I really don't like him.  And it's not that he has a secret (the big secret, really) that is the cause of the whole inquisition.  There is just something about his smug self-righteousness that makes me want to give him all the side eye.  And I'm very much pro-mage too.  So it's not that he's an apostate. . It's just that he's.. weird.  Or maybe that he isn't Dorian.  Dorian is my spirit animal. 

 

When it comes to Origins there is no one I really hate.  I'd say of all those characters I like Wynne the least with her moralizing.  But even then I don't hate her.  She hasa lot of wisdom though, if you filter out her morals.  I hardly use her and I guess it is hard to have an opinion on someone you don't really utilize very much.  In DA 2.. well I hate Sebastian with all the passion of 10,000 angry suns.  He's way worse than Wynne.  And not even a satisfying character to romance.  Ugh.  I'd rather interact with a character like Fenris the crab because for all his flaws he at least has reasons for his anger.  Sebastian just seems I dunno...  There is no satisfaction in his arch.  I don't see any growth.

Quite a few years ago I made the decision to graduate myself from online forums and stick to lurking from afar (just no longer had the time or energy to get involved in the forum micro-environment any more). Thus, I've been lurking these forums, stalking and reading discussions for a looong time. And I've not logged in or made a single post, until today. 

 

This topic piqued my interest enough to break my covenant just this once. So kudos to OP.

 

Also, if it makes any difference, I'm coming mainly from the perspective of a Dalish Warden, Mage Hawke, and Dalish Inquisitor.

All Female.

 

 

1. Things I dislike about characters I adore with all my heart:

This is actually really hard. Most of my dislikes for loved characters are just me complaining about lack of certain in-game functionality or unrealistic things I wish I could do (i.e.: fantasies unfulfilled *sigh*). Also there's so many characters I love but I'll just put the ones that I can actually list something I dislike for.

 

DAO

 

Dog - That he takes up a character slot. I desperately want to take him everywhere but sometimes he has to stay at camp.

Wynne - That she didn't knit my Warden a griffon onesie.

 

DA2

 

Aveline - The fact that she'll never love my Hawke the way my Hawke loves, covets and worships her. *cries in corner with Aveline shrine*

 

The Sabrae Clan - I love em but dammit where's your solidarity you fools! My Warden would not be proud of the way y'all did in Merrill.

 

DAI

 

Minaeve - I dislike that she gets replaced by Tranquilady. I really liked pestering talking to her and really wanted to be able to flirt with her.

 

-------

 

2. Things I like about characters I loathe with most of the fibers of my being:

 

 

DAO

 

Morrigan - I like that even though I dislike her in so many ways, she is super appreciative of the Warden's friendship. If you work with her prickly nature instead of against it, she expresses how being a friend means a lot to her. I tend to take a "Cool story bro." and "Relax Morrigan" attitude with her and somehow she likes me. I dunno, I like that she values me being able to put up with her. lol

 

Broodmother? -- Like ew. But I admire its...uhh....determination?   sorry I'm gonna puke even talking about it.

 

Zevran - I wouldn't say I dislike him 100%...but I just don't like him much at all. He's my least fav companion. But hmm...I like that he's not super tall? I guess.

 

Cullen - His hair?

 

DA2

 

Fenris - I so desperately want my Mage Hawke to buy the heaviest staff she can find, name it "intersectionality" and gently beat him over the head with it until he gets it. That dream aside, I do like the fact that you can at one point at least call him out on his hypocrisies and he just kinda chuckles and says 'oh yeah'. I never romance him so I dunno how much more you can do it.

 

Anders - Couldn't find anything about his personality or views that I like (I can vaguely empathize...but he has zero sympathy from me especially for his final actions). But regardless, the one thing that I will always absolutely LOVE him for is the fact that he can save my adorable baby brother Carver (  ) from death. Anders gets a huge +all-my-approval for that single thing.

 

Isabela - I'm not a huge fan of her personality or humor. I don't mind her views...but I just don't like how her actions often lead to bad outcomes -- I also don't like how she got mildy annoyed that I turned her down. Like plz. Actually, I was on the verge of being peeved enough to actually kick her out but she did ONE thing that completely redeemed her for me. Let me just say that Carver is my absolute fav DA2 character. I adore him in every way -- he can hate my guts, spit on my shoes and I'll still love him forever and ever. Now on my first DA2 playthrough, the one time I decided not to metagame was for the deep roads expedition. Needless to say I didn't know I had to bring Anders along, and my baby brother died. It made me distraught enough to nearly rage quit the game -- The game had already pissed me off enough and killing Carver was the last straw. My Hawke had been pushed to the edge and was literally ready to give up dealing with everyone else's bs and wreak havoc on all of Kirkwall herself (I didn't care if I had to make an Everything-and-Everyone-in-Kirkwall-is-Vaporized mod to do it). Enter Isabela. I already hated her guts and she was to be my first victim I swore...but then she was the first one to turn to Hawke and say the 'i heard what happened in the deep roads with (insert sibling) and I'm sorry.' line. Even when everyone else immediately started going on about their own problems, she was the only one to take the time to say that. Isabela! of all the darn people, not even my LI. But in that one line, she completely talked me and Hawke off the metaphorical edge of no return. Kirkwall literally had Isabela to thank for Hawke's continued assistance. Perhaps Isabela could have talked Anders off the edge too. >__>

 

Cullen - His hair?

 

DAI

 

Cullen - His armor. Dat lion helmet tho.

 

Sera - Highly bombastic and opinionated...an extremely off-putting mix that I have a hard time getting down with. Romanced her with my Dalish Inquisitor instead of a Qunari specifically to make it hard for her even at the cost of it being equally as taxing on myself to find love with her. But I LOVE LOVE LOVE that one moment where you can ask her to marry you and she metaphorically, completely sobers up for a split second and calls you crazy. Just the way she looks at you and her serious tone in that one moment. I dare say that is probably THE SEXIEST moment in the entire game for me -- definitely my fav Sera moment. Makes me completely weak in the knees! *sigh* if only I could see more of THAT Sera...

 

Actually, that's probably what I similarly love about Merrill the most. Yes she's the most adorable, word bumbling socially-inept thing I've ever seen...but hot damn when she turns into a beast in battle (yelling all those things in Elvhen in that slightly deeper voice) my Hawke just gets all warm in...places.

 

Must be some kind of thing I have for people who act one way on the outside, suddenly displaying the complete opposite.

Note:

Characters I love that are immune to my ire: Carver, Leliana, Merrill, Vivienne.

Characters I hate that will never get my love: Celene.....Celene.....Celene.
