Post Your Favorite Dragon Age Origins Party

[Formalhaut]

What was the point of recruiting them?

[Shauna]

To have them recruited! So I can chat to them in my downtime.

[Formalhaut]

I guess. I'm wondering if there is enough approval through conversation alone to stop Zevran betraying you, but I imagine there probably is.

[Shauna]

I banged Zevran

[Formalhaut]

I guess there's my answer.

If I look back at all the Origins companions, I'd say Zevran or Oghren were probably my least favourite. Which isn't to say I disliked them, but I didn't really get much from Zevran's character besides his obvious flirtation. He was funny, though.

[Pike]

Ummm but Zevran is like, the world's hottest elf

If you aren't banging him then what even is the point of DA:O

[Madame Adequate]

Fenris, while a great guy, didn't get so much of a look in combat.

smurfed up if true

dude's a BEAST once you get some points into his personal tree

I'm aware, but I was also a two-hander. Couple that with the virtually mandatory tank of Aveline, that's three front-line warriors. I try to have two ranged, two close combat generally.

My next DA:II playthrough will probably be as a Mage (just so I can.... experience Carver). I'll probably use him more then.

Right, durr, I missed where you said that Three would be overkill, and Fenris can tank but only once he gets to the highest levels and yeah he's never going to be as good as Aveline, because she's the tankiest tank to ever tank.

If I look back at all the Origins companions, I'd say Zevran or Oghren were probably my least favourite.

Mods???/

[Madame Adequate]

Course you could just go Fenris, Aveline, Warrior Champion, and Isabella, and go Full Melee.

[Formalhaut]

Mods? I don't quite understand.

Anyway, the sexiest elf of all time is so obviously Solas.



Look at that sexy egg.

[Freya]

Or you can just not use Alistair because there are better characters.

You shh, Alistair is the best.

Alistair as a tank
Wynne as a healer
Rogue Cousland for melee
and Lelianna as a Ranged usually sometimes morrigan.

[Del Murder]

I kept Alistair as sword & shield and just focused on the more offensive abilities and stats. I used him occasionally and didn't slow me down too much. These games are pretty easy and pretty much any combination with at least one mage will work. Mages really dominate in DA.

[Mr. Carnelian]

Me as a rogue (dual weapons, every time), because they're fun and SO overpowered in Origins.

Alistair, because he's a sweetie. Also, tanking.

Morrigan, because epic sarcasm and magic (I generally also make her a spirit healer for the revival spell and group heal, so Wynne becomes redundant).

Shale because sass. Oh my god, the sass. If they don't bring her back into the series at some point... Looking at you, Bioware.

They become more and more mandatory, to be honest. In DA: O, you could conceivably choose not to use a Mage during some segments of the game. By the time you get to DA: I, you practically require a Mage, at the very least for Barrier.

[Pike]

all these people not liking Zevran smh

[Freya]

I honestly didn't use him much cause by the point I got him, I already had leliana as my ranged rogue and I played a melee rogue so I didn't need ANOTHER rogue in my party.

Sorry not sorry.
