ok here's a question for the people. when playing dragon age how do you determine which party members you take out on quests? is it your favorite characters? your PC's best friends? is it who you most want to see react to any given quest? do you pick based on optimal party composition for fights? do you drag your LI everywhere even if it's the least optimal possible choice?

#for me it's 100% who I want to see react to any given quest at any given time #and 0% party comp bc I don't care for DA's combat and keep the difficulty turned down #the exception is DA2 where until I've maxed everyone's approval/rivalry the main factor is what sort of approval bumps I think I'll get #and which characters are most in need of those particular boosts #but sometimes it just doesn't matter so you kind of have a default party you know?#when I played DAO for the first time with sulina my default party was zevran + leliana + alistair aka three rogues and poor alistair #which was an objectively terrible idea but I didn't know what I was doing and also didn't care #they were the ones who flirted with me sooooo~#playing DA2 for the first time with tabitha the default party was usually isabela (LI) + bethany/merrill + 1 #playing DAI for the first time with shirae the main party ended up being solas + varric + bull just bc she got SO goddamn tired of #being surrounded by humans and andrastians all the time #if I ever get around to replaying DAI with kataara the default party will def be viv + bull + sera aka family roadtrip #with the wife + bf + daughter in law #like for example idr exactly who I took to adamant with shirae but I think it was *probably* blackwall + varric + solas #but I've since heard that cole has really great reactions in the fade so I'd like to take him to adamant sometime #but on kat's pt I probably WILL stick with sera + bull + viv on that one bc family roadtrip in the fade sounds awful and they'll all hate it #it'll be great #but yeah I generally rotate party members out constantly #take them out for some exercise and enrichment #let them stretch their legs a little #it's just responsible care you know
