Morrigan isn't just my favourite Dragon Age character, she's the greatest fantasy RPG companion of all time

  Aerith from Final Fantasy VII?

  For all the crap the game gets, Johnny Silverhand in Cyberpunk was actually an incredibly written companion character. Plus bonus points because of Keanu Reeves.

  Kainé from NieR Gestalt/Replicant?

  KOSMOS from XenoSaga?

  Geno from Super Mario RPG?

  Karlach from BG3?

  Many characters I would consider at the very least to be contenders for top spot, if not outright surpassing Morrigan.

    Shit. Pick a character from Crono Trigger. Citan from XenoGears. Teepo from Breath of Fire 3. I mean, I could go on and on… There are so many classic companions in games. I can’t pick one, and I’m not sure I trust anyone who can, especially when there is bioware money being thrown around.

    Most of cyberpunk characters are incredibly well written tbh.

  Imagine talking about great RPG companions and not mentioning Knights of the Old Republic

      Carth is great, but there’s something about my boy Atton that I can’t get enough of.

    Morrigan is not the greatest video game companion, then.

  Mostly because of the dress.

    Key aspect of RPG companions. Their defining trait.

  she is canonically one of the most bratty, self serving characters in the series.

  she acts like she’s hot shit until her plans go wrong, then she cowers and freaks out. she’s absolutely obsessed with getting her way. she tries to play like emotions are weakness, then instantly caves to her own because if its her emotions its different somehow. “Oh no the consequences of my actions?!”

  Morrigan isn’t even as cool as Flemeth was. She’s a shitty power-grabbing dick who stomps her feet when she doesn’t get what she wants and behaves like everyone should worship the ground she walks on.

  how tf is she the greatest RPG companion of all time, exactly?

    Sounds like the perfect favorite character for the internet

      people try to play the character off as “sassy”, but they’re honestly just blinded by tiddies imho.

      seems to be a common affliction. lol

    There’s probably a reason why people apparently like her. Or two, actually.

  She isn’t even the most interesting or well-written character in Origins. /shrug

  She was my favourite in that fighting game with the sexy cat lady

  Pretty sure she was just hot dude

  Origins was such a boring game. Hackneyed, utterly predictible plot, graphics that looked like the previous generation. There wasn’t really much there to like, and then the next games were worse.

  Not sure how we even got as far as Veilguard…

    I might be biased as Origins was my first cRPG other than KotOR, but I still love playing through it. Just a real solid high fantasy story thats a touch grittier than you’d expect.

    I gotta agree, I tried 4 or 5 times and just never got into it. Doesn’t help that I’m not great at party RPGs, but yeah the story was slow and I remember being unimpressed with the dialogue options… It always felt like you were kinda pushed towards and inevitable outcome rather than really influencing things.
