Which of the DA:I companions do you find the most loathsome/ least likable out of all of them? Why?

Solas
Story wise, i think it's obvious why i wouldn't like him. Personally, i think he's as boring and uninteresting as can be.
Vivienne Sera Cassandra Iron Bull Blackwall Dorian Varric Cole Solas

It was between Vivienne and Sera. But in the end, if I must choose between two intolerants, I will choose the more willingly ignorant of the two.
Sera may be a product of her upbringing, but she is still a person that needs to grow up a bit before I can respect her fully like I do Vivienne who can at least back up her claims with something substantial even though I may not agree with it.

I love them all! One of the main reasons DAI is my favourite of the three so far. It's got such a great cast. And it's not just the companions, I pretty much love all the supporting Inquisition NPCs as well.
That said, my love for Solas often manifests as a desire to punch him in the face.

Viv annoys me. We always disagree because I'm pro-mage freedom and, as Morrigan would say, Viv likes "leash" around her neck. But not really, she's only pro-circle and templars because she's privileged. She's not stuck in a Circle on constant watch. Also, honestly I never felt she's ever been genuine with me. Not even when Bastien died.

i don't get why people don't like sera, she is awesome. guess the fact she can't be controlled is off putting for the power hungry people, go figure while i do have my favorites i like all of them. while i don't like vivienne's personality i like her as a character, she is a bitch and we need characters we don't like, part of the fun (though my first inquisitor got along with her to, lethrias could get along with a dragon though ). and vivienne always brought good prespective even if i didn't always agreed with it. now i could list each of the companions and why each of them i like but that would take all day

This is exactly the reason I really enjoy these two I appreciate polarizing well-written characters, since they offer my character a challenge in the way s/he perceives the world - they don't change for Inky, because why should they? Why are they supposed to grow up, in Sera's case, for instance? Being somewhat bland (as I found, for instance, Blackwall to be) is a greater put-off for me than being annoying

In essence I don't like her because she's a bitch.

There's a special place in hell for people who don't like Sera. Been there. Could use better air conditioning. All in all not my worst vacation. The people there were better company then Sera. Also, I got myself a nice shirt.

Exactly, we can't always have rainbows and cupcakes. Love them or hate them, Sera and Viv are wonderfully written characters and bring so much to the story. I voted for Blackwall, his attitude pisses me off and unlike Viv and Sera I don't think he adds much to the game, or a unique perspective.

None. Sera is sometimes annoying as hell, but she's also a wonderful companion and DAI would be lesser without her. I think all companions were very well written and it's hard to hate any of them. At least not yet... who knows what happens in the future?

Once you find out his goals, it's clear Solas is far and away the most loathsome.

I like strong bitchy characters. But only when they do end up showing some vulnerability or evolve somehow, so I end up knowing them for real. Vivienne doesn't. She's just a bitch with an agenda. Who even is Vivienne? Yeah, a bitchy character with an agenda. What you see is what you get.
Morrigan, romanced or only friendship shows her true self to the player. with regret about the dark ritual and confessing that she loves you/you are her only friend. I like cold characters who end up revealing a softer side. Vivienne is not that.

Don't find any of them loathsome - some of my Quizzies do but that's a different thing. However I do find Blackwall completely boring and his voice is very dull, so he gets my vote.

Vivienne/Sera. Both are very annoying. Finally I choosed Vivienne, because Sera young, maybe she can change a bit, Vivienne is old, her behavior will not change. And a social climber much more disagreeable/disgusting than a hot-headed idealist (for me).

I loathe Solas. He is kind of the culmination of ideologies and personality traits that I find incredibly annoying in real life. He is trash, in the can you go.

Vivienne.
I don't think I would necessarily dislike any of the companions if only I could interject. If I could find some satisfaction in standing up for others. As the Inquisitor, I want to play the "good guy" the one that stands up for all the people. I want the right to stand up and help them all. Yet, when hanging out with my party, navigating through the wilderness - Viv belittles and berates the others, and...while this is great to provide us an outlook on her character, I want to say something. I want to interject. I want to tell her to Shut. the. Fuck. Up! If I could oppose her...just a little, I think a tension would have existed that would mimic something from reality. Having to work with those that are in opposition of your beliefs and has attitudes that are not complimentary to yours can be interesting. Yet, in this case, Viv and the Inquisitor (Mage - pro freedom) can't even have a real chance to have true conflict.
Anyways....
This is also is for the other companions as well...but Viv is my most disliked.

It hits the floor. Oh crap. Its rolled out of the kitchen into the hallway. Oh double crap. The cat is playing with the coin. Finally. Ok. Hmmm. It appears Blackwall is the turd.

I've written extensively on the old forum as to why I don't like Sera, but all comes down to how she will take her internal racism out on Lavellan and treat Lavellan like shit for it even if Levellan is friendly to her. In essence I don't like her because she's a bitch. she got along well with my elf inquisitor, they were good friend. though he is very open minded, with a proper dalish i guess it might be harder. still, ignorance is not making one a bitch she compensate for her close minded attitude with being funny and awesome It's not just Lavellan, it's any Inquisitor who makes the wrong decision or says the wrong thing to her. Drink from the Well? She points a loaded weapon at you. Take her to Adamant? She'll take a swing at your head. Refuse to be an echo chamber to Sera's demand that you parrot her opinions? She'll dump your ass and put words in your mouth. No girlfriend should ever be scared of Sera trying to threaten or hit her. No girlfriend should have to take the blame from Sera for things out of their control. That's the abusive crap I saw happen in real life firsthand that matches Sera's romance. And it was from a couple I was friends with that looked like the most loving and intimate relationship before it got ugly.
