Dragon Age II Hints

Who should I take with me?

  • 1 of 4: First and foremost, you should not take Anders. He'll turn on you if you agree to a deal with a certain demon that can get you a very nice reward.
  • 2 of 4: The other available companions are divided up into two sets. Isabela and Aveline are in one set, and Merrill, Fenris, and Varric are in the other set.
  • 3 of 4: Choosing the three companions in the second set will cut down on the number of companions who turn against you when tempted by one of the two demons who are tormenting Feynriel. You'll end up losing only one companion during the quest instead of more.
  • 4 of 4: Note that companions who turn on you in the Fade won't really be killed, but will be expelled from the Fade when you "kill" them, meaning they'll be unavailable for the rest of the quest. However, they'll be fine afterwards -- at least, after you talk to them at their homes about what happened.
