Summary
Dragon Agehas introduced players to multiple interesting characters inevery game of the franchise, as well as the player also being introduced to some incredible characters across the other forms of media too, such as books and comics, which players have become fond of.
With so many characters met over the years of gaming, some of these characters have become true staples of the franchise, with them either making multiple appearances or becoming memorable enough to make players think back on them with happy memories. Out of all the characters players have been introduced to over the years of theDragon Agefranchise, these are by far the best of them, ranked.
8Solas
Solas is quite the fascinating character in theDragon Agefranchise, with many fans of the games being divided on whether they love or hate this secretive elf. During the events ofDragon Age: Inquisition, Solas appears to be a good friend to the Inquisitor as one of the three mage companions available for the player to take along with them on their adventures.
However, by the end of theTrespasserDLC, Solas is revealed to be the Dread Wolf, theancient elf that trapped the elven gods. With this god being trapped in the player’s head during the events ofDragon Age: The Veilguard, players are able to learn much more about Solas to finally define their opinion of him.
7Hawke
One Of The Most Memorable Heroes
Across theDragon Agefranchise, there have beenmultiple heroes the player has been able to control. While each of them deserves a valid place as one of the best characters inDragon Age, Hawke is a cut above the rest.
Dragon Age 2may have had its difficulties when it was first released, but players still grew to adore Hawke as the main character of the game. From Hawke having some of the most unhinged lines out of all the main characters due to the purple Hawke options being some of the best, Hawke even proved their importance due to the sacrifice they were willing to make inDragon Age: Inquisition, which was not an easy choice for players to make.
6Dog
A Loyal Companion For Two Of The Games
Characters inDragon Agedon’t only have to be humanoid, as one of the most loyal characters in the games has been the four-legged, adorable dog. With players being able to name the dog whatever they wish, this companion has taken a slot from other companions inDragon Age: Origins, as he even makes a great ally in battle.
Dog can be interacted with just like any other character, though admittedly the most amusing thing about this hound is how other companions inDragon Age: OriginsandDragon Age 2have interacted with this canine companion.
5Dorian Pavus
A Confident And Relatable Companion
The Companions ofDragon Age: Inquisitionare arguably some of the best in the franchise due to how unique each character felt within the game. This has led characters like Dorian to be some of the best characters of the franchise due to how relatable and witty he is when interacting with the Inquisitor.
Besides his very touching companion questline where he finally talks to his fatherabout his sexualityand how he attempted to change him with blood magic, seeing Dorian grow as a confident character where he hopes to return to Tevinter to make a difference is finally fulfilled withThe Veilguardwhere players finally meet the possible next Archon.
4Alistair
One Of The Most Supportive Characters
Even with characters getting better and better as the franchise has continued, some classic characters, like Alistair fromDragon Age: Origins,are still some of the best in the franchise. Alistair is a great addition to the cast ofDragon Age: Originsdue to him being in the same situation as the player, with them both being two of the only remaining Grey Wardens in Ferelden during the Blight.
He allows the player to take the lead due to the feeling that he can’t be responsible enough, but through the support of the player, Alistair can possibly become king. While he can’t be a companion again, depending on the choices made, Alistair can be seen again as either the King of Ferelden or another option to possibly sacrifice himself inDragon Age: Inquisitionif he remained a Warden.
3Flemeth
The All-Knowing Witch Of The Wilds
Flemeth is quite the mysterious character that has appeared multiple times across the franchise to push the epic stories of this RPG forward. From nursing the Warden back to health inDragon Age: Origins, saving Hawke inDragon Age 2, to giving her power to defeat Corypheus inDragon Age: Inquisition, Flemeth hasalways had some sort of connectionto the future of the games.
Although it was sad to see her not make some sort of return inDragon Age: The Veilguard, players are sure to have enjoyed their previous encounters with this Witch of the Wilds, who once held a fragment of the Elven Goddess Mythal.
2Morrigan
A Companion, An Advisor, A Living Fragment Of A God
With players finding Flemeth to be one of the best characters, they love her daughter Morrigan even more. Seeing Morrigan grow as a character across many of the games in theDragon Agefranchise, players have watched her go from an isolated apostate hiding in the forest to a woman that would one day save the world again.
Each game has shown how Morrigan has grown as a person, with her becoming an incredibly protective mother inDragon Age: Inquisitionif the ritual or romance was done with her in Origins. By the time of the events ofVeilguard, she had even grown to the point of accepting a part of Mythal, which is something she had been resisting for many years.
1Varric Tethras
The Storyteller That All Have Come To Love
Unsurprisingly, players have deemed the best character in theDragon Agefranchise to be Varric Tethras, an incredible storyteller, but most importantly a loyal friend to the player for many of the games. Players first met Varric duringDragon Age 2, where players instantly fell in love with this Dwarf’s charm.
Hecontinued to amaze playersinDragon Age: Inquisition, where he not only becomes a friend again but is also willing to submit himself to the cause in the hopes of saving the world. By the timeVeilguardcomes around, Varric is much older and wiser as he becomes a mentor to Rook, the main character, as well as being a part of many emotional moments.
