If a mage is somewhere - the mage will win anyway. Not if the rouge kills them before the mage even knows they're there... 1. Given how DA style stealth invisibility works, it appears to be pretty magical. Very Blood Magic-y too. So stealth spam turns it into a magic duel. 2. Not if there's some trusty mabari sniffing out the stinky backstabber and biting their hands off. 3. Not if the mage has Glyph of Repulsion and the rogue is a knife nut. 4. Not if mages finally get some "True Sight"-style ability.

DAO Warden Aaron - warrior DAA Warden Etienne - warrior DA2 Hawke - rogue DAI Inquisitor - warrior I am looking at this realistically, not with the exaggerated power portrayed in the games. (DA2 exploding bodies lol...) Aaron v. Etienne -- Etienne wins here. He's older, physically tougher, more experienced, and has better equipment. Etienne v. Inquisitor -- Inquisitor wins here, but only just. They are on par physically and in equipment. Etienne has a bit more experience, since he's been in a position of leadership and career combat than Inquisitor, but my Inquisitor sometimes lucks into victories. They're both SnS tanks who are equally matched; consequently, the fight would go on a long time and come down to some stupid mistake made from fatigue. If this is a duel, my Inquisitor would not use the Anchor to his advantage; he would consider that cheating. Inquisitor v. Hawke -- Inquisitor wins here. My Inquisitor in an armored tank, with the experience and patience to control the battlefield while being harassed by a pesky rogue. The only way Hawke would win in this scenario is if Inquisitor were to make a mistake that dropped his guard, allowing Hawke to slip in and get a dagger through a chink in the armor. Inquisitor is my fav among all of these. Can you tell??

I do like to keep one canon going forward. Brief description of my canon characters for reference:
Warden: Zemariel Tabris, dual-wielding city elf rogue (assassin/duelist/legionnaire scout) Champion: Thanatos Hawke, sword-and-shield warrior (Templar) Inquisitor: Yara Trevelyan, human mage (Knight Enchanter)
Even though DA:O is definitely my favourite game, my canon Warden and canon Champion are more or less tied for which character I like the most. They've been around nearly as long as characters at this point, and although they're very different, I like both about as well. I'd probably break the tie a different way every time I was asked the question, or just flip a coin. As to who is the strongest character...
General Effectiveness in Battle: Zemariel. He's the highest level, has the best equipment, and (unlike the other two) generally carried his party in terms of combat.
Who Would Win Between Them: Hard to say, with the game mechanics changing so significantly between games. Yara tends to focus on more of support magic - barriers and dispelling and then dealing area effect damage - and as such she wouldn't be as effective in single combat against a determined foe, and would probably lose to either of the other two in a single combat situation (which I'm assuming this is; bringing full party consist in gets more complicated). Most of the time Zemariel would probably beat Thanatos, since he could keep from being knocked down long enough to do some real damage, and Thanatos doesn't have any defense against Zemariel's maybe-excessive poison use.
Political Clout/Reach: Not Thanatos, since he happily abandoned what of that he had. Yara has the Inquisition and being thought of as the Herald of Andraste, and could certainly use that to good effect - and she's more politically savvy than either of the other two, so I'll give the edge to her even though Zemariel has a decent amount of connections from being Warden-Commander and all and could probably pull a fair amount of strings if he was so inclined.

My favorite canon character that I played in the past, was my Jon Cousland. Because the human noble story reminded me a lot of Jon Snow from Game of Thrones, and I based this character a lot off of Jon Snow, and made the decisions I thought Jon Snow would make faced with the same situations. In terms of power, my elf mage characters from DAI, would easily beat Jon Cousland, because Jon was just a born soldier and natural leader. He was not a powerful mage, a skilled elven archer, or a clever politician. He was just a good man trying to do what he thought was right in the face of impeding doom and a nation bickering over the Kings throne.

I believe that, from a general point of view, the strongest is the inquisitor, mainly because of the anchor. He also has "better scalps"... a dozen of dragons, an ancient darkspawn magister, a forbidden one, various high demons, the titan's guardian... although probably as "individual top duels", "peak achievements" both hawke and hof have had more resonance and are more famous in the thedas (archdemon and arishok)
From my personal point of view, the strongest I handled was the HoF during awakening. I usually play on hard, but I had to get up to nighmare to make things minimally interesting. And still the Hof (tank) was practically able to win most fights only, it was virtually immortal, indestructible, enemies were mowed down like summer wheat ears.
The best character is Hawke. He is the most versatile in terms of personality and ethical values, and he can evolve in one sense rather than another during his 7-8 years at kirkwall. He is also the one who has the most emotionally touching moments, and the one in which relationships with companions and family members are more profound.
The coolest-badass is the HoF, and he is also the one who I think has both the most epic moments and the most difficult choices to face (the last 4-5 hours are incredibile, the landsmeet, the dark ritual yes/no - who sacrifices himself to kill the arch-demon... and than, the fate of the architect).
the inquisitor IMO is rather flat, he's good and competent, but in the end he does what he has to do without any particular hesitation or tragic moments. is the one with the most "marked" route and which can least go off the track. And I liked it, let's be clear, I felt "the burden of responsibility", the burdens of command. But it is the least fun to interpret.
