Poll: Dragon Age Origins: Favorite Party Member?

[Captain Ninja]

all the characters where fantastically made and well developed, but Alister was my favorite, his attitude was hilarious and voice acting was awesome, i always found myself excited when i had a chat with Alister, to hear what new things he says and makes you say.

Alistair, Wynne and Zevran are equal for me.

!! I just read this I cannot believe you said it! You, of all people? Wynne and Zevran are equal to Alistair? Gasp!

For story I like pretty much all of them. For gameplay, I used Alistair, Wynne and Sten/dog. For rrrromancin', Alistair all the way. Couldn't romance Zevran. I was a saucy rogue, and he was too easy for me. I like a bit of a challenge.

But but but but, they are my go to guys...............
How can I not love Wynne when she saves my life like all the time? And Zevran is just so naughty it's irresistible ;-)
I did put Alistair first though, didn't I!
Btw, Zevran is just easy, he is a man trollop, and that is why he is so charming...

 

[Jenova65]

Gameplay-wise, Wynne. Sure, she has a habit of running into the fray for no discernable reason and catching an unfortunate case of the dead, and I usually end up having to use poultices every five seconds anyway, but she helps keep some sort of flow going. Sometimes.
Which is more than can be said for any other character that isn't me.

Story-wise, though, definitely Alistair. He's the most fun to talk to.
Also, were I a girl (or perhaps a gay dude) I might also mention that he is incredibly sweet and that the scene with the rose actually made me coo audibly.
... Which... which I'm not saying I did.
Just, you know. In those circumstances, I would.
Maybe.
...
I'm heterosexual. [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/HaveIMentionedIAmHeterosexualToday]

I wish he existed so I could ravish him

It's OK, dude, it is Alistair, this is allowed Even the sneaky bit in white ;-)

 

[crimson5pheonix]

Shale and Oghren if I can heal, Shale and Wynne if I can't. For narrative, Shale. Storyline, Shale. I like Shale. She's really funny.

 

[WolfThomas]

My group mainly consisted of Alistair, Leliana and Wynne.

But Sten was my favourite. Aside from cookies and kittens, I liked him because himself, his philosophy and people were really the only new/unique fantasy thing in the game (though this wasn't necessarily a bad thing, I really loved this game).

Plus his lines describing Quinari sex are so hilarious, because you don't know if he's being completely or being funny in a wry deadpan manner.

 

[Foxtrotk72]

Definitely Shale. He does more damage than I do xD

same here I liked Shale after you done the quest for him and he kills a chicken.

Okay, you get a pass.... for now.
Zevran is a trollop, and this is exactly why I don't trust him. The sly elf's eyes linger a bit too long where they shouldn't. And by this I mean Alistair's posterior. Being a saucy rogue myself, I know exactly what he's thinking, that cheeky little elf!

He is monkey ;-) Alistair could do with an Alliance uniform (have you noticed the way it caresses Kaiden's rear................) Ahem, moving swiftly on..
I also really like Oghren, the way he is so often drunk in camp and falls over.

Quite normal, these feelings. Alistair was created to bring out the shy young female/gay ingenue in all of us. No really, they did tests. Those poor game testers. Hours on end they had to sit in a room listening to men dressed up in armor telling them how beautiful they are and handing them things. You should have seen some of the rejected ideas. From what I hear, that's how they came up with Oghren.

Oghren is freaking hilarious. He's such a dirty little dwarf. That reminds me, my phone went off last night and the Oghren ring tone went off and I was desperately searching for the thing before Oghren got to the "Donning the velvet hat" part of his dialog. Boy did everyone look at me strangely. I blame you for taunting me!

 

[dante brevity]

Alistair, as a character. As a player, he kind of hampered my style. No matter how I tinkered with his tactics slots, he would always run forward, die, and leave the rest of the battle to Wynne, Leliana and myself. Jerk blew through more injury kits than the rest of my party combined.

Oghren's my drinking buddy, don't knock him

Let's see:

Alistair: He's my bro. We had a little fistbump once I started getting into Leliana's delicates. If he handled the whole Loghain situation a bit better we'd be best buds for life.
Morrigan: She's a *****. Fuck 'er. Not literally of course, but I don't like her. Whole sole purpose is saving me or Alistair from a nasty dose of death.
Leliana: Bedded, love the accent, prefer her as a rogue to Zevran.
Sten: He's my main man and he loves cookies. If you've got a horde of darkspawn on your tail, Sten's the guy you want at your back.
Zevran: Nice guy, sadly overshadowed by Alistair and Leliana in the romance department but he's a fun loving bloke who doesn't have much qualms about killing people. I see him as Thane without the emotional baggage of a wife/child.
Wynne: She's my grandma. :3
Oghren: Drinking buddy as I said. Some of his interactions with Wynne are just golden.
Shale: It's HK-47 with a twist, plus she can carry all our bags and stuff.
Barkspawn: Endlessly loyal, the faithful companion, bites darkspawn faces.
Secret: Inferior to Alistair, but his voice actor is excellent. I was so glad to see he returned in Mass Effect 2 because I really like how he plays his parts.

Overall it's gotta be Alistair. His exchanges with lines like "I've got this nefarious plan to go around to each of them, and secretly tell them all the nasty things you said. That way they'll mutiny, and I shall become the group leader! (crazy villain laughter)" just make him.

It's really funny the way he comes onto you if you are female, talk about 'backing away now...', lol
ROFL at your phone, classic! Many people there? ;-)

No offense meant my fellow DA enthusiast. I wasn't knocking Oghren as a drinking buddy, I was knocking him as a romantic interest. He's not exactly the type who sweeps you off your feet, he's more the type you sit around in the pub with and snicker at as he gooses every wench who walks by.
Peace?

A few. One was a rather innocent thing who turned about several shades of scarlet deeper than my own by the time the ring finished. I do believe I may have scarred her for life. Shame on me then. Her BF didn't seem to mind much. Laughed like a hyena he did.

 

[Jenova65]

Wynne: She's my grandma. :3

My grandma was more Nanny Ogg, than Wynne ;-) I am still recovering from seeing my son kill Wynne to keep Morrigan :-O Leave her at camp, Jeez....
Still in the end he rejected her proposal preferring to sacrifice himself to the arch demon rather than impregnate her ;-)

Such a shame you didn't get to video it, would have laughed my substantial ass off!

 

[Rhayn]

Morrigan annoyed me to no end with her ceaseless bitching, but she was voiced by Claudia Black so that makes her the instant favorite without question. At times she was quite fun though, but jesus if you ever got her started on anything involving emotions other than hate I swear I felt like smacking her down with something blunt and leave her for the Darkspawn.

A close second would probably the Ohgren with his alcohol "problem".

Truth be told though, I initially loved Morrigan due to her extreme sarcasm and attitude, while I despised Sten. Didn't really like Shale either, and Zevran was an annoyance at best. As time progressed and I got to know them better, I eventually got to dislike Morrigan, like Sten, and Zevran got slighty less annoying.

But yeah, everything else is irrelevant because of Claudia Black.

 

[reg42]

Morrigan. She's mah woman.

 

[TheDoctor455]

Definitely Shale. He does more damage than I do xD

You mean she.

And back on topic...
Leliana was my favorite.
