Companions (Dragon Age II)

Dragon Age II companions are the people who accompany Hawke.

Home base
Companions will each have a home base within the town of Kirkwall. Once Hawke visits the home base, it will be marked as a hot point on the local map, enabling fast travel to that location. The majority of each companion's personal dialogue will occur at their home base, and during conversations, they will interact directly with the environment.

There will still be situation specific dialogue outside of the bases.

If a companion wishes to speak with Hawke, they may approach the PC directly and ask them over or send a letter to Hawke's home.

Friendship and rivalry paths
Companions have both a friendship and rivalry path. This is not the same as approval and disapproval as Hawke does not gain points based on how pleasant or rude they are. Instead, it's based on PC actions, opinions, and how they handle each companion's personal quest.

It is possible to have a romance with a companion on both the friendship and rivalry paths.
