I am skeptical about how interesting the human party members are going to be.

Zore posted:Sera had an interesting philosophy, but would have worked much better as a recurring antagonist for the Inquisitor. Her personality and ethos doesn't mesh with what you're doing at all and having her work self-destructively against you as you accumulate power could have been interesting as she turns the common people against you. Agreed, an antagonist or unreliable ally would have been a much better role for her. Also Cassandra was far and away the best of them all. She had a permanent spot in my group.

They had to introduce James in the 3rd installment as a replacement for Grunt. Shoulda gone with a surly, rude, and bizarrely cruel Batarian companion imo.

FunkMonkey posted:The whole LOLsorandom part of Sera was tolerable, if obnoxious. It was the utterly irrational, self-destructive anarchist shtick that killed it for me. Sera is the only character in any RPG I have deliberately booted from the group, and I don't regret it. Not even Anders crossed that line. The gently caress? Anders is a literal terrorist.

Stroop There It Is posted:Nope, Cole has a ton of really interesting party banters with pretty much every other party member because he can literally read their minds. I agree about the party banter, but he was never really interesting in the missions itself. Even the one time where he really should have shined, going into the Fade at Adamant, he was just kinda freaked out. It doesn't help that you absolutely want to have Varric with you when you go to Adamant. And Cassandra being the best character surprised me as well, she didn't look very interesting in DA2 or the Inquisition promotion material. So even though some of the squadmates in Adromeda may look boring now, I'm still giving them the benefit of doubt until I can see more of them in-game.

Admiral Ray posted:They had to introduce James in the 3rd installment as a replacement for Grunt. Shoulda gone with a surly, rude, and bizarrely cruel Batarian companion imo. I don't think 3 needed a new companion at all. That's my problem with James: he's a good character introduced a game or two too late for me to care. Cortez and Traynor suffer from the same problem in my opinion, though it's somewhat excusable for Traynor since a part of her character and her dynamic with Shepard is that she's the new girl who knows she's new and isn't a hardened veteran like the rest of the cast. James, I think could work if he was optional and introduced as "You got Ashley/Kaidan/Grunt/Wrex/Jacob all killed? Here's a replacement soldier to help with the heavy lifting." Garrus and Tali do the "Shepard's protege" role better. Garrus, Javik, and Ashley do the rough and tumble badass role better. James is just pointless and redundant for me.

I enjoy going max rivalry with Anders, siding with the templars, and sparing him. Anders shows up, a broken empty husk of a man to fight at your side and try to make things right.

Booting him and then rejecting his attempt to come back after siding with the mages was one of the most satisfying moments in the game.

At least Anders actually is your only healer if you don't play a mage (until you maybe get your sister into your party), so there's at least one reason to keep him around.

Cythereal posted:Sera's also weird because she claims to be an anarchist revolutionary, but everything she supports is going back to the status quo - she outright tells you that she doesn't want to change anything, why would she? She wants things to go back to the way they were before, when they made sense to her. Yeah. It always annoyed me that she's basically screaming "SMASH THE STAATTEEEE" but she's 100% okay with humans loving over elves at every opportunity because elves suck despite the fact that the people who are in power got to be in power by crawling on the backs of the elvish slave caste. And that the whole debate about the elvish pantheon basically amounts to her arguing the technicality that they weren't gods therefore they're full of poo poo, despite the fact that they were so ludicrously powerful that the difference was moot, and that there's demonstrable proof that they actually existed.
