Just out of curiosity, I wanted to know what people thought. Which companion do you always find yourself adding to your party whenever you go into battle and why? I understand that different kinds of Wardens would provoke one to use different kind of companions based upon your skills but excluding that, who do you find yourself always adding to your party now matter who your warden is?--Fantasyeve87 02:33, January 31, 2011 (UTC)

Wynne. Her Mana Clash is an insta-kill for enemy mages, who always pose the biggest threat in most encounters. Morrigan would be a close second for her hexes and elemental spells. Finally Leliana, since my class is usually not rogue. Hmm...now that I think about it, I picked all the women. Imagine that. Rath101 (talk) 02:38, January 31, 2011 (UTC)

Alistair and Morrigan--good shoulder angel vs. bad shoulder devil Leiliana--lock-picker, conversation approval boosts FreeMarcher930 (talk) 02:43, January 31, 2011 (UTC)

In retrospect, I kind of wish they made Dog a constant companion. He isn't subject to approval rating changes anyway, and it seems only natural your faithful dog would go with you wherever you go (yes, I am fully aware that this might look like Fable 2). Guess that would be overkill. The game is easy enough with only 3 followers. Rath101 (talk) 02:46, January 31, 2011 (UTC)

Morrigan. It's almost a crime that she isn't in DA2.--TheGreyestWarden (talk) 02:52, January 31, 2011 (UTC)

Morrigan and Shale and/or Oghren. All my favorite characters (Not including Loghain, who I always use at the end) and makes a pretty good party if you're a rogue (Which I usually am).--LloydCousland (talk) 03:31, January 31, 2011 (UTC)

Alistair and Wynne. I'm almost always rolling a rogue so I can cover range DPS or up close. Then to fill in the last spot I use Shale (since she can do range or up close)--Mrs.AlistairTheirin (talk) 03:33, January 31, 2011 (UTC)

Depends on the Warden I'm using, if its my M!HN warrior, then its Morrigan, Alistair and Leliana. My other Wardens, its usually someone for healing or picking locks (to be honest, I don't roll an Elf that much and I can never finish a Dwarven prologue...)--Madasamadthing (talk) 03:47, January 31, 2011 (UTC)

I always have atleast one of the following, Shale, Dog, or Sten. Along with Wynne, and finnally Leliana. In awakening this changes to Velanna (Spirit Healer/Keeper) and Sigrun(Dualist/Legionaire Scout) is always in party after being recuited. I also keep Anders(Battle mage/Arcane Warrior) except in the Fianle in which he is replaced by Nathaniel(assasin/Shadow). Notice that all 3 finale cahracters Velanna, Sigrun, and Nathaniel all have a special reason to go with me, Sigrun volunteers, Velanna vengenge for her people and redemption for Nathaniel.CrowInvictus (talk) 04:18, January 31, 2011 (UTC)

Morrigan first by a hair, then Leliana. Together, especially by mid to end of game, they are absolutely tearing though stuff from a distance. My HN warrior warden (my usual) and whoever else can barely keep up, plus, he thinks they're both pretty hot. I think he's tried for a 3some maybe six, seven times. He never learns... Even if I switch to a mage or a rouge I keep those two almost all the time. It really helps that they're both introduced early in game as well. The more control I have to build them, the more I use them. The Grey Unknown (talk) 04:41, January 31, 2011 (UTC)

Alistair. I just love his "witty one liners". But at the end game I always have Alistair, Zevran, and Sten. Just because what they say when you bring them with you at then end has more meaning to me then anyone else does. As far as Awakening goes I have Oghren, Anders, and Nathanial. I love thier banter with each other. Espically when Anders tries to explain to Oghren why mages wear robes. Emmalee (talk) 04:55, January 31, 2011 (UTC)

Alistair. I almost always play a DW Rogue, and Alistair makes a good tank. Plus, if Origins was a movie, Alistair would be the co-star. I also always take Wynne, at least at the start, for healing. Lately I have been building Morrigan as a healer, and she replaces Wynne when she gets the Spirit Healer specialization. The final slot I use a companion I either having used in a while, or who I know has a special interaction in the area I'm going to next: Shale in Orzammar, Sten in Haven (when he challenges you), Dog in Denerrim (when he brings you the boy).

Morrigan. She always alive even when all my companions and my main character is dead and she saves all.

My party always consisted of Alistair, Wynne and Morrigan. I'd let my Rogue be DPS, Al tanked and you can guess what mages were doing. If I did not take Al, I took Sten. Al in my opnion was a better tank. During the final battle, Alistair was like a meat shield. I don't think he fell once.RhiannonCousland (talk) 16:31, February 1, 2011 (UTC)

Sten, Alistair and Zevran is my dream team. Two warriors, a rogue and a mage(me). That's all i need.--213.64.251.102 (talk) 16:41, February 1, 2011 (UTC)
