Adamant - The Best Companions To Take Into The Fade

I agree. I think because he has to wander the Fade in dreams, seeing it as it is raw would remind him of what life was once like before he parted everything. He also has a strange longing tone when saying how close the Black City is, and I suspect he wants to go there because of what he left there. As Cole said, faces trapped behind mirrors, sleeping and hurting.

I have never taken Viv, but I have taken everyone else.

I like taking Varric because as many have pointed out already..Hawke. However, I was disappointed in what Varric's character had to reveal about himself. Everyone had their "outting", if you will. But Varric, it's all about putting Hawke in danger; and then the gravestones - Varric's fear is becoming his parents. Yawn. I thought maybe something about Bianca..something more insightful. But, eh, whatever.

I don't take Cole precisely because he freaks out and I feel bad about it. Sera and Bull freak out, too. It's just that with Cole it feels like a different kind of freak out. A more..freaked out freak out? I don't do it anymore.

Bull I like to take for his earthy feedback on the situation.

I like taking Viv because of her "outting" about age, and she's pretty insightful about it all.

Cass because Justinia, and it's all a big deal so I feel Cass should be there because she has that founder role in the Inquisition. It's a turning point I feel she should witness.

I've never seen Hawke die. Thedas will burn before I let Hawke die.

When I first took Cole, I thought, you know, Fade Spirit, etc. But when he freaked out it just upset me and I felt bad. So, I never took him again. Great voice actor, there.

It could be because he's never been in the raw Fade. Was that supposed to be the raw Fade? Or were we all still seeing our own...projections. Or even our collective projections?

Maybe Cole had the right of it? Maybe what we saw was not the "real" Fade....whatever that could actually be.

Cassandra - Only because you meet a Spirit pretending to be Divine Justinia. Doesn't hold much relevance otherwise

Varric - He and Hawke continue to have banter there.

Solas - Top companion for the Fade portion I think, since he's the expert.

Blackwall - Not really relevant to the Fade part, so he'd really only be here if you took him to Adamant for the Wardens.

Iron Bull - Nothing.

Sera - Nothing. In fact she hates being there.

Vivienne - Nothing.

Dorian - Second best person to take, being yet another Tevinter mage who psychically entered the Fade.

Cole - Third best person to take, being a Spirit of Compassion.
