Cassandra, Blackwall and Sera if I'm a mage. If I'm a thief, Sera stays home and one of the mages joins, no preference who. But those three are my major tag a longs.

Well, I think on this play through, it's going to be me (2H warrior), Solas, Dorian, and prolly Cole. I would love to take Sera, but I've taken her last time.
EDIT : Oh, yah, and the one I'm not going to take Vivienne. That bitch can sit and rot, for all I care.

Interesting differences between the Reddit poll and this one. Not sure if it is because of the way I phrased the question or just different communities.
The order of the choices above is arranged in the same order of the outcome from the Reddit poll. I was surprised that Solas was third from last in that poll. I expected the result to be more like what you have shown above.

Missed out on placing my votes, but it would have been for Vivienne, Iron Bull, and Varric. I don't actually use Varric a lot, but I love dwarves, and my Hawke was a rival, so Inquisition Varric wins this time. Blackwall would be the runner-up.

Due to importance, personality, party interaction and fondness: Solas, Cole and Sera.
Especially in the fade.

Depends on the Quizzy I'm playing.
My F Trevelyan Mage gimps herself by taking Cass, Blackwall and Viv because she really doesn't trust the others very much.
That said I have the 'non-existent' banter bug so who I take doesn't really change the walking around part of the game.

Cassandra, Varric, and I usually switch out my mages for whenever I need one of them. Out of the three mages I'd say I use Solas the most.

Same here. My core team seemed to be my Inquisitor, Dorian and Cassandra. The 4th member largely depended on my Inquisitor's class. When playing a rogue archer, then I might go more with Solas/Vivienne to give me another mage, but equally Cole as he is a dual wielder. When playing a mage, then definitely I'd go with Cole to give me the rogue skills, although I might swap in Sera for dragon fights. However, I always take Solas to the Temple of Mythal. It just seemed to make sense to have him with me, considering he claimed to know so much about elven lore. Role playing a balanced party that should mean leaving out Dorian if I have a mage Inquisitor but the reality was I just ran with three mages and Cassandra.

Solas, Cassandra and Sera. My 3 favorite characters. I usually play as a mage so the party combination works from a gameplay perspective as well. Dorian gets an honorable mention. Love that guy as well.

The characters I like to use in combat tend to be the ones I don't particularly want to talk to. As characters, I like all the warriors, but I don't love using warriors, and I never take more than one.
I love using mages, but the companion mage I like (Dorian) is the least useful in combat (given my playstyle).
The rogues are different. Sera is an extreme example of what I described above - I dislike her intensely but combat-wise she's my favourite character. Varric is someone I both like and enjoy using. Cole is someone I neither like nor enjoy using.
I wonder if I'd like Cole more if I chose the Templars over the Mages. I've never done that, but as such I miss out on a lot of Cole.

^ I like Cole for how he interacts with others. He's interesting on his own, of course, and provides some ethical questions for the player, but I think his role in the game is to facilitate character development in the banter. I think this works and doesn't work at the same time. On one hand, I find it unfortunate that we do have that sort of character development relegated to the banter, like the banter chain concerning Dorian's father. It is easily missed if you don't bring Cole along, or have run into the infamous "banter bug." On the other hand, given the nature of these revelations, some of which are intensely personal, it makes sense that these are revealed through Cole and him alone.
I generally prefer to have as little melee as possible. My canon PC is a warrior and I'd be pleased if all my favorite characters were ranged, but that just didn't work out that way for me with DAI. Instead, my warrior rolls with two other melee and a mage, which is a large departure for my typical playstyle.

No. I never spec followers out of their iconic spec. To me, Cole being dagger is part of his character, as is Cassandra being SnS, Varric using Bianca, and so on.

Just thought it would be a way to use a preferred companion in a preferred play style. At least it is possible with Inquisition. With DA2 my DW rogue could never bring Isabela along to big fights as the party was too unbalanced. 😬. I liked Isabela.
