I think my favorite thing about the Dragon age 2 companions is that they aren’t companions. They’re just your friends. An odd bunch of troubled people who all just so happened to live in the same city and get on really well together. There was no special world ending madness that drove them together and forced them to get along, they just ran into each other on the streets of Kirkwall. Yes there was the expedition, but even that was just a job. A simple job to get a few extra gold coins that turned into lifelong friendships.
