In my personal experience, I was convinced that you can gain attention and time and attract even the most popular people in America to cooperation, if only you show genuine interest in them.

Gathering a group

To maximize the effectiveness of your squad, gather all the companions as quickly as possible. This way you can start managing their development earlier as you advance through the levels. Your first companions will be a warrior Alistair(specialization - weapons and shield) and a sorceress Morrigan. On the way to Lothering will find you dog, and in the town itself a robber-bard will join Leliana and another warrior Sten(prefers two-handers). After that, I advise you to head to Redcliffe - the first part of this task can be completed without encountering particularly strong enemies. Next, you will have to interrupt (we will talk about the reasons for this later) and clear the tower of the Circle of Mages - this is a more difficult task, but a sorceress will join you Wynn. elf killer Zevran you can join the squad by freeing Radcliffe from the undead or by completing any of the main missions. Finally, a dwarf warrior Ogrena(also prefers two-handed weapons) you will find, of course, in Orzammar. Actually, clearing the dwarf dungeons is more difficult than negotiating with the elves, but here you can cheat: having replenished your ranks with this fighter, go to Brecilian and only then return to the abandoned dwarf thaigs.

Of course, companions can not only join the squad, but also wish to leave it if your relationship is very bad or you have committed an act contrary to their beliefs. But reaching 25, 50, 75 and 90 relationship points inspires your companions, which will lead to an increase in one of the basic characteristics by one. Morrigan has magic, Wynn has willpower, Alistair and Oghren have physique, Sten and Loghain have strength, Leliana has cunning, and Zevran has agility.

Three Ways to Build Relationships

You can win the respect of your comrades in arms with the help of conversations, gifts and completing special tasks. You will almost always have to start the conversation: if someone has overcome shyness and turned himself, most often things are bad. Either some kind of trouble has happened, or you are doing something that your companion does not like at all. In the second case, the skill of persuasion helps - your character needs to develop it first of all. If there is an option with such a mark in the dialog, most often it should be selected. The result will depend on the skill level and the complexity of the situation.

"Sadly rural cemetery," you say? The one in the Vault is a collection of Easter eggs. Honored and Gary Gygax, pic-
an AD&D tracker, traces of which can be seen and
in dragon age.

On a note: many important conversations you can only start in the camp - look there more often.

Often in dialogues you are asked to express the same idea in different words. best result you will achieve by speaking in the same style as your interlocutor. Talk seriously with Wynn, speak directly and without equivocation with Stan; trying to joke with them, as with Zevran, will lead to a deterioration in relations. You may not notice this - the result of the dialogue will be, say, +2 - but instead of +6 with the right choice of tone.

If the topics for conversation have been exhausted, please your companions with gifts - items that are almost always useless from a game point of view. The effect is calculated as follows. Base value - 5; it decreases by one for each gift previously made to this character, but never drops below 1. If the souvenir fell into the area of ​​​​his interests, then another 5 is added. For special plot gifts (they can only be given to those for whom they are important) - an increase 10. However, if the relationship with the companion has fallen below zero, then it will not be so easy to buy his trust - the effect drops twice.

On a note: note that the effect of all gifts drops by -1 for each given.

Well, if the first two methods brought success, then one day friends will make some small request. For example: “I recently left a family ruby ​​in the compost heap, very expensive, can you help me find it?” But that is another story.

Alistair: penultimate guardian

Alistair is honest, kind and simple-minded. He is a loyal friend and is ready to follow you - although, it would seem, as a more experienced Guardian, he should have taken command. Alas, leadership for him is a burden, although logically it should be in the blood. He is the illegitimate son of the previous king Maric, but, along with his tutor, Earl Eamon, did everything to keep this a secret. Alistair is not at all like Macbeth, and the words "King in the future!" they only scare him, so don't expect gratitude if you help him climb into the stupid seat called the throne.

Of course, a visit to Radcliffe, where he spent his childhood, will be especially important here. Having cleared the castle from the undead, you will face the problem of what to do with the possessed Connor. The correct (and actually the easiest) solution is to go to the Circle of Magi for help, and then defeat the demon in the Fade. In this case, Alistair will be grateful to you for saving the family of his teacher (+7). Killing Connor or his mother will lead to a severe deterioration in relations (-10). Be sure to find in the earl's office Alistair's mother's necklace.

Gifts for Alistair
	Present	Where to look
	Alistair's mother's amulet	Eamon's office
	Duncan's shield	Guardian Warehouse, Market District
	White Runestone	Circle Tower, 3rd floor
	Stone figurine of a warrior	asylum
	Stone figurine of a dragon	Redcliffe Castle, top floor
	Small carved figurine	Lothering
	Onyx figurine of a demon	East Brecilian
	Black Runestone	Thayg Aedukan

After talking with a brother in the order before visiting Denerim, you can find out that his sister lives there, next to Wade's store. Goldanna. Alas, she will not be happy with her brother. If you try to console Alistair, who is upset by the meeting, he will thank you later. If you explain about the severity of life, he will draw conclusions: he will become more rigid and pragmatic. On the one hand, a less pleasant companion. On the other hand, if you plan to make him a king, then naivety and spontaneity are not the best features for a ruler. In addition, the "new" Alistair will agree to marry Queen Anora if you decide to pardon her father, although he will leave the squad. So this option has its advantages.

Thanks to Flemeth's magic, Alistair suddenly learned to fly. But how to wave a shield?

Alistair knows that the Gray Guard had a base in Denerim. However, you can find the secret entrance only by freeing another brother in the order, Riordan, from the dungeons. Be sure to visit - a lot of equipment for sale disappears there, and most importantly - the Duncan's shield, not taken by him under Ostagar. As you probably understood from the conversations, this will be the best gift for Alistair. Moreover, in the hands of your companion, it turns into, perhaps, the best shield in the game, with which you are not ashamed to go into the last battle.

The main test of your friendship is the decisions on the Loghain case and the vacant throne. Alistair will leave the squad if you choose to spare the renegade regent, and Anora will refuse to marry the one who killed her father. And becoming the queen alone, she will try to get rid of her rival and order him to be executed if you do not stand up. The best option is to deal with Loghain for you, and then arrange a royal wedding. However, if you, madam, are not a dwarf or an elf and, moreover, of noble birth, then you yourself may well turn out to be a good queen! Well, if you, good sir, are a nobleman, then you may well rule with Anora, saving Alistair from the heavy burden of the crown (and leaving him to get even with the pest ruler).

Morrigan: enchanting beauty

The sorceress Morrigan is caustic, cold and calculating. Other members of the detachment will not win her sympathy - their conversations will be in best case picks, if not squabbles. However, you can try to melt the ice with which she fences herself off. After all, deep down she is the same girl who once risked her life to get a beautiful golden mirror! But her mother is a witch Flemeth- I didn’t appreciate the impulse and broke the mirror I got. Don't miss your chance - Garin (a gnome jeweler, not an engineer) sells exactly the same in Orzammar. In addition, some jewelry will please the witch.

Morrigan Gifts
	Present	Where to look
	Black Grimoire	Circle Tower, Irving's quarters
	Grimoire Flemeth	Flemeth Hut
	golden mirror	Orzammar, Garin's shop
	Golden rope necklace	Lothering
	golden amulet	Orzammar, Garin's shop
	Gold Demon Pendant	Room with the urn containing the ashes of Andraste
	Medallion	Shelter, shop
	Silver brooch	Dalish camp, shop
	silver chain	Circle Tower, 2nd floor
	Silver medallion	Elven ruins, upper level

The only copy of the Frozen Dragon sculpture is exhibited in the Frost Mountains. Tourists should be aware that very often thaws, coming into a bad mood.

On a note: some gifts that are not on the above lists would seem to fall into the sphere of interest of the characters, but in fact do not arouse their enthusiasm. So, a thief can steal a tiara from Lady Hybren in the Denerim Trade District. It looks like a decoration! But Morrigan probably doesn't think it suits her.

In the tower of the Circle in the office of the senior sorcerer Irving, grab the mysterious Black Grimoire. The sorceress will be very happy at first, but at the next stop in the camp she will report that Flemeth lived for many centuries due to the fact that she inhabited the bodies of her daughters. Morrigan loves her mother not enough to become another victim, and will ask you to kill the old witch.

You will have to go to Flemeth's hut without Morrigan - otherwise you will not find anyone there. You have two ways to complete the task. If you want, just take Grimoire Flemeth, releasing its owner in peace, and deceive your companion by saying that the deed is done (note Wynn would not approve of this). If you don't want to, get ready for a serious fight. Maybe you thought your witch was a cool werewolf? One way or another, Morrigan, having received her mother's notes, will be glad, and you can also offer her a fashionable cape + 20% to ice magic, among other things.

How to go to the dragon?

More recruits brought in, right? Eh, young-green... Well, listen. We have the most strength - magicians with " Cone of cold" and " force field". You will not only put the beast first, but also freeze it for a couple of seconds, allowing it to chop freely. The second is trickier: if you put a worm in the "jar", the squad will be able to use poultices or lyrium. But they win fights in a different way: when the bastard gets angry, cover the comrade who got hit. The eye sees, but the tooth is numb, the tail does not thresh, the fire does not burn: the enemy will continue to beat the invulnerable victim for a good half a minute. By the way, at this time you can heal a friend.

Going to the dragon, you can not do without a healer. Before starting to heal, he will even have five seconds, he will be able to throw a couple of lightning bolts. But most importantly, he must help the detachment " Mass cleansing»: magicians can drink lyrium, but what about warriors? That's it. If there are no other magicians, they will come in handy " Acceleration" and " ice weapons". You can’t really get through the lizards with fire, so whoever has fiery runes is superimposed - replace them.

If you decide to fight Flemeth, set up a couple of traps before talking. Yes and
rune of paralysis will help win a few seconds

It is very good to take an archer with you: the dragon will most often not chase after him. Just let them aim better, the scales of the creatures are strong. Weapon fighters are best suited for swords or axes. The heaviest armor is needed, the beast is hitting very hard. Best of all - from the scales of dragons, they protect from fire, but where can you find them? True, they say that in Denerim the master Wade knows how to do that. If you put on some sparkles with fire protection, it’s also good. But all sorts of balms ... well, them. Keep an eye on where the bastard is aiming his tail - and here, then, find a bottle, but lift your head - and at that time you will be hit so hard that you will stutter until dinner! Well, if your own.

When the brat arrives, run away from each other so that he doesn’t kill everyone with one spit. And do not spare the potions. If the bastard removes half of the health, then the warriors can get by with a large poultice, and the magicians and robbers - the usual one. But if there isn’t even a quarter left, then it’s better for the fighters to take the strongest one, but for the rest, the big one is enough - they didn’t come out with health.

Well, did you get it? Okay, go, dragon around the corner. Do not be afraid, yet wooden.

Until the very end of the game, you are not expected to have any problems with the Morrigan. But on the eve of the performance for the last battle, it turns out that she has a special offer of a personal nature for you. However, it is quite possible to transfer it, for example, to Alistair - this thought will not cause a protest in him, although their relationship with the sorceress cannot be called excellent. The offer looks profitable for everyone, but for some reason it seems that there is a catch somewhere...

On a note: there is one great option for those who are especially in love: to accept the proposal, but do not take her to the squad after that. She, of course, will be offended, but then you will get a normal, not a demonic heir.

However, keep in mind: if you refuse, then the sorceress will leave the squad, and in the battle with the archdemon she would be very useful. If you agree, then she will leave without saying goodbye, immediately after the battle, and the search for her will have to be postponed until the next part of the game...

Dog: the most faithful companion

Who taught you to shoot Force lightning, Darth Wynn?

The dog never argues with your decisions, always in good mood, and relations with him are 100%, so it is simply impossible to improve them. The gifts meant for him are unmistakable: it looks like Pestilence has caused a food crisis in Ferelden. Why else can you find only a few bones with bits of meat all over the country?

But mabari will bring some gifts himself if you ask if there is anything interesting around. Some of them can only be obtained in this way - for example, torn silk pants or a skein of yarn (I don’t know where he found it in the Deep Roads, but Wynn just promised to knit something warm to the Wall if she finds the material). But sometimes he brings something that you yourself missed in this location. Often finds equipment, and very good. In general, even if the dog does not get into your main team, it’s not bad to walk him, having already cleared the territory of the enemy - the dog needs to run, really.

Leliana: Enlightened Assassin

When you first meet you, you may think that Leliana is a very unusual character: a rogue nun. However, things are even more confusing: she is also a bard spy. With all this, she is a kind and sympathetic girl.

Barrage, as well as storm, blizzard and earthquake

Her past is a separate story that she will not tell everyone. Surprisingly, he won't tell his friends either. To get a job later Leliana's past", you should talk to her before that how your relationship reaches the +25 milestone (however, if this has already happened, you can always say nasty things to the girl). Ask how she got to the hermitage, and you will learn that Leliana used to be a bard in Orlais. When you become friends, talk about the bards being spies in Orlais, and learn about the difference between bards and minstrels. True, you won’t have to cast a net for the third time: at the next stop in the camp, she will speak to you herself and admit that she has concealed something. She was indeed spying, but Marjoline, her mentor, set her up, causing her to flee to nearby Ferelden.

Well, the next step will be taken by Marjoline. The next random encounter will be with a weak squad of killers, whose leader, in order to save his life, will tell you where to look for the customer. And Leliana, following Alistair, will ask Denerim for five minutes for a social visit. The Orlesian is a serious opponent (and a couple of mages and warriors will unexpectedly come to her aid), but you can solve the matter without a fight if you convince her that Leliana has left her past behind. One way or another, don't forget to look into the side room: the chest contains not dresses for Orlesian fashion shows, but much more practical things. Including the excellent Bow Marjoline» from the thorn of the dragon.

On a note: if in the next conversation you tell Leliana that she really loves the hectic life of special agents and in vain hides it from herself, then her character will change. Like Alistair, she will shed her idealism, become less "correct" and more practical. So, the thought of defiling the ashes of Andraste will no longer cause her objections. Really, why would you need it?

Gifts for Leliana
	Present	Where to look
	Grace of Andraste	Village of Redcliffe; West Brecilian; Elfinage
	Adorable Naga	Orzammar, Dust City
	Amulet of the Church	Circle Tower, 2nd floor
	Bronze symbol of Andraste	Lothering, church
	Golden Symbol of Andraste	Orzammar, Legnar's shop
	Silver Sword of Mercy	Trader Old Tegrin
	Steel symbol of Andraste	Denerim, home of the Genitivi
	Etched silver symbol	Taig Ortan

On a note: even if the character has not yet told you a story from which you understand that some gift is valuable to him, the effect of the gift will not decrease.

As you can see, most of the gifts for Leliana are related to religion. However " Grace of Andraste"- this is not at all a boring treatise or some kind of amulet, but a flower. Of course, any girl will be pleased to receive flowers as a gift, but Leliana will especially like these. Their smell is reminiscent of the house - with such petals, my mother shifted the things folded in the closets. She is probably not alone: ​​it is clearly time to add the flower to the Red Book, because for many months of your journey through protected areas you will find only three of them. And after all, you will surely break it, putting a rare plant on the verge of complete destruction!

It is interesting: Leliana's appearance is copied from the appearance of the model Alexandra Stein(Alexandra "Alleykatze" Stein), and Morrigan with Victoria Johnson(Victoria Johnson).

Good dog, let me scratch you behind the ear!

It turns out that Leliana named her pet Shmuples.

But how Leliana will carry another gift with her, I do not know. At the entrance to the Diamond Halls of Orzammar stands an unfortunate merchant of nagas - not those with whom Riki-Tiki-Tavi fought, but a sort of pig moles. It seems that he is a rare bungler, since not too nimble animals managed to scatter, and he is ready to pay a reward for the fugitives. Finding them in the nooks and crannies of the Commons is easy, and you can catch them with your bare hands. If Leliana goes “on business” with you, then after talking with her, you will understand: here it is, her girlish happiness on legs: these animals such sweethearts...

When you come to Dust City, a poor quarter, spend a couple of minutes talking with the idle gnome who stands on the mini-forum of this area. Since the main professions here are a beggar and a bandit, he will be happy to catch a well-fed grunt for you - even five silver coins will pass him for wealth. Unfortunately, you will not see happy Leliana walking with a pet on a leash.

Sten: Qunari don't give up!

Sten calls himself an "evil giant" and, to be honest, he is much better suited for a sword fight than some kind dwarf. He has a brave heart and a noble soul - but it's better for you not to be the one whom he decided in his hearts to break with all his heart. Here some comrades did not have time to quickly and convincingly explain where his sword had gone - and what did this lead to? The wall - to the fact that he was put in a cage for the murder, and now, instead of a quiet business trip to collect information about the Sea, he has to fight this Sea.

Stan, get down, I'm throwing lightning!

The thing was hot!

It is interesting: in fact, Sten is not a name, but a title. But it is hardly coincidental that it coincides with the Swedish and Danish words for "stone".

Yes, about the sword. When you win Stan's respect, he will ask you to help find the lost weapon - otherwise the path home is closed to him. Let's be honest: although a two-hander is much larger than a needle, Ferelden is not a haystack either! But the main thing is to believe in success. Although from the battle at Lake Calenhad a lot of time has passed, some man is still robbing perfectly preserved corpses. He will send you to Farina, a "secondhand equipment" dealer in the market in the Frostback Mountains, who Dvina to the village of Redcliffe. This is the dwarf you almost kicked out to fight during the Night of the Living Dead. This time he will be no more delighted by your visit, but you can convince him to part with the souvenir voluntarily and for free. By the way, like Duncan's shield, the sword will turn from a gift into a weapon that is quite suitable for business before the appearance of Orzammar counterparts from red steel.

Gifts Wall
	Present	Where to look
	Sword Wall	Village of Redcliffe
	Still life in a silver frame	Redcliffe Castle
	Soaked portrait	Circle Tower, 2nd floor
	Portrait of a girl with geese	frosty mountains, Farin
	Portrait of a rebellious queen	Trader Old Tegrin
	Totem	Caridina Crossing

Sten is determined and despises magic. Child-possessed? Find and destroy. Wasting time calling wizards from the Circle is stupid (-10). They were going to fight the creatures of darkness - so there is nothing to run around the mountains in search of mythical urns. With a developed persuasion skill, you can persuade the Qunari that you need Eamon's support, and there is no other hope of curing him. But if the attempt fails, then it will be possible to force him to remain in the detachment only by force.

This is a bug: due to the wrong script, you can easily raise Stan's respect to the maximum. Ask him why he came to Ferelden, then choose any answer. Then ask why the Qunari are bothered by Blight. To a counter question, answer that it is your duty as a gray guard to fight the Blight, and ask if he found the answer to the question. Now you have the option again: "Why does the Qunari bother the Blight?" Each such cycle increases Stan's respect.

Wynn: Warpath Sorceress

If your character is a wizard, then you will meet Wynn in the prologue. The rest will be able to exchange a few words in Ostagar, but she will join your squad in the Circle Tower, which will have to be cleared of blood mages and possessed by demons. She is an excellent support mage, heals and buffs the rest of the squad, but also knows a few offensive spells. Wynn is reasonable, calm, confident and ready to protect what is dear to her, even at the cost of her life.

If you want to win the fight with Cotrienne, try saying "Storm" and "Blizzard" to her squad before entering the room - they will take effect from the beginning of the battle. “Now that’s what I call aggressive negotiation!”

You will be convinced of this shortly after the meeting: if you agree with the exhausted templar and decide to kill all the magicians in the tower, you will have to go through the corpse of the sorceress. It is better to promise to save everyone - train, you have not yet to do this. An attempt to defile the urn with the ashes of Andraste will also cause categorical disagreement: if Wynn is in the squad, she will attack you, otherwise she will leave after the first stop in the camp. She also doesn't like blood mages. But he loves books, but since the book trade in Ferelden is poorly developed (as you will see, some gnomes are even forced to steal literature), you will often have to get them with a fight.

To get a special task for the sorceress, talk about the fact that she needs a rest. The next time she will feel better, but after the first collision on the roads she will fall unconscious. And when stopping at the camp, she admits: she inspired Remarque to the novel Life on Loan. Wynn is alive only thanks to a certain spirit that supports her existence - alas, gradually weakening. And in the next skirmish, she will save everyone thanks to the "Vessel of the Spirit" - an ability that restores her mana and health, and at the same time stuns enemies who carelessly approach. True, there are unpleasant consequences, which will help to get rid of Amulet of Aneurin. You will receive it by completing a special task.

By making friends with Wynn, you can find out that she blames herself for the death of her first student. Almost certainly death - but what if a miracle happened? The Dalish elves he wanted to reach would happily confirm that they knew only one Aneirin, a renowned healer. You can find it in East Brecilian, next to the hermit's hole. The conversation will literally remove the stone from the soul of the sorceress. Let's hope that the spirit in the Shadow felt better.

Zevran: death is funny

Somehow this sylvan is frozen and on fire at the same time.

Elf Zevran is a hired killer, and you are his next victim. True, his frivolity and self-confidence this time came out sideways: he chose assistants who were not skilled enough. The ambush is well planned, but area spells will help you deal with the archers hiding on the flanks. Realizing that the contract could not be fulfilled, this insolent will not find anything better than asking to join your detachment - they say, now the former owners will still hunt for the loser ... Leliana will approve this plan, Wynn does not care, but the opinion of your other satellites will deteriorate by 3-5 points. Meanwhile, Zevran will be useful: his high agility allows him to dodge melee attacks of even strong fighters, and stealth will serve as a “fire spotter” for magicians.

As you understand, you cannot classify him as a moralist. A suggestion to slaughter all the elves or destroy the Anvil of the Void will cause him to protest, but he can be persuaded that it is necessary. He can leave your squad when his friend Taliesin calls, who continues to hunt you, but friendly relations will keep Zevran from another betrayal.

In the taste of the elf there will be ingots of precious metals and two pairs of items reminiscent of the past - Dalish gloves and antivan boots(both of which turn into good equipment). Gloves can be found in West Brecilian, in a chest at the site of an abandoned camp behind Rhyming Oak. Boots - in the Vault, in a chest in the shop there.

It is interesting: one of the prototypes of Zevran is called Puss in Boots from Shrek 2: he is also an assassin sent by the king, and the elf's gift boots in this case are also not accidental. In the original game, the accent is also said to be similar.

Oghren: Child of the Mountains

Oghren's manners are straightforward, like a two-handed sword, and the word "chivalry" is not at all about him, but he does not take courage. He is a berserker fighter that will come in handy not only in the Deep Roads. He has his own reason to join the squad: if for you the search for Perfect Branca is a way to achieve the crown for your henchman, then for him it is to return his wife and clear his reputation. After all, two years ago, Branca went to look for the secret of making golems and took with her all the members of her house - except for her husband. These two years proved to be a difficult test, including for Oghren's liver. And now, if you want to please this bearded man, offer him a bottle of something stronger.

He said "I won't be back", and this abyss swallowed him without a trace

Getting to the places where Branka now lives is not easy, and meeting with her will not go at all the way Oghren dreamed. As a result, you will once again have to choose one of the parties in a fundamental conflict. And although your companion understands that his wife has committed terrible crimes, her death, if you support Caridin, will greatly upset the dwarf. You can partially make amends: when Karidin asks what you want as a reward for your help, find out if Oghren wants something - the main result of the mission will not change from this, and you will gain well-deserved respect.

When Oghren becomes your friend, he will ask for your help in a delicate matter: to help restore relations with a former passion Felsey. To do this, go to the inn near Calenhad Lake and help out Oghren in a conversation with a smart dwarf. It depends on you whether your comrade in her eyes will look like a hero or a drunken loser. You won't let good old Oghren down, will you? True, not every ground soldier will understand that things have gone smoothly, but be sure - two brave warriors may well chat one girl.

It is interesting: the special sympathy of the developers for Ogren manifested itself in the creation of a unique hairstyle. Besides him, only Morrigan received such an honor.

Loghain: An Unexpected Ally

Could you, after the battle of Ostagar, assume that in the last battle former hero the battle of Dane will go with you? So Alistair could not: you have to choose who you want to see in your squad. Loghain has learned the same weapon style and shield as Alistair, but will he be a worthy replacement? Rather not: a templar who has matured under your strict guidance in the last battle will certainly be more useful, if only because of his class, than the knight Loghain. But suddenly you want to show mercy to the fallen?

The acquaintance will be short-lived, and the former regent will not have any special assignments. In fact, what could you wish for: the daughter is attached, the head does not hurt about the state, the environment is simple and pleasant, there are no court scoundrels like Howe. Of course, there can be problems with mutual trust, but in the upcoming battle, you will have to fight shoulder to shoulder - so it's worth building relationships.

Gifts for Loghain

Dragon Age: Origins - FAQ: Companions ​

Dragon Age: Origins is party role play. This means that in addition to your hero, other characters, companions, will travel with you. These characters will be located in the Hero's camp and you can always take them with you. Often they are not inferior in strength to the Hero, and some even surpass. The game has such an indicator as the reputation of a companion. What does it mean? If the reputation is high, your companion character will receive a bonus to some attribute. It will also open up opportunities for receiving quests from companions and romantic relationships. If your reputation with a companion is low, then he will treat you with contempt, and if the reputation indicator reaches a critical point, the companion may leave the Hero.
So how can this be prevented? Very simple. Give your companions due attention. Complete their quests, give gifts. Each companion requires a "special" approach. In addition, useful information will often be entered into your codex that will help you win the appreciation of your companion.
There are a total of 10 different companions in Dragon Age: Origins that you can enlist. In this topic, a brief information on each of them will be published.

1. Alistair Class: Warrior Specialization: Templar Location: After arriving at the fortress of Ostagar, Duncan will personally advise you to find Alistair. It is located near the tent of the magicians. Find it and talk. After that, Alistair is your companion. Note: Alistair cannot be kicked out before the "Gathering of the Lands" quest. Moreover, he will not leave your Hero even if his attitude towards you drops to -100. Personal Quest: Alistair's personal quest is connected with his sister Goldanna. To take the quest, you need to ask Alistair when he turns to the Hero, saying that he has something to tell. Goldanna is located in Denerim, in a house near Master Wade's forge. In order to enter her house you will need Alistair himself. We go into the house and listen to the dialogue between Alistair and Goldanna.

Important: During this easy quest, you will be able to toughen up Alistair. This moment can seriously affect his future behavior. To toughen Alistair, after a conversation takes place between him and Goldanna, tell him that "Everyone cares only about himself."
If you toughen Alistair and leave Loghain alive at the meeting of the lands, Alistair will leave the party of the Hero and express a desire to marry Anora and become the heir to the throne. The toughening also affects the ending of the Hero-girl, who had an affair with Alistair. If Alistair did not give the throne to Anora, but he himself expressed a desire to become king, then only a Hero-girl of noble origin (backstory for the Kuslands) could persuade him to marry, thus becoming a queen. If you toughen Alistair, then he will marry your heroine of any origin.
Romantic relationship: A romantic relationship with Alistair is only possible with a female Hero. To start romantic relationship just ask Alistair about his life as a templar. Show admiration for them. If the rate of his appreciation increases, then when meeting in the camp, Alistair will give your Heroine a flower. This will be a sign of the beginning of a romantic relationship.
Gifts: Alistair's special gifts are his mother's amulet and Duncan's shield. Amulen is in Earl Radcliffe's desk. The shield can be obtained from the Gray Wardens' secret warehouse. Riordan will tell you about him if you bring him his documents. Also, Alistair will not mind getting runestones and various figurines from you.
Moment of Crisis: Alistair will only leave the Hero if you show mercy at the Gathering of the Lands of Loghain.

2. Morrigan Class: Mage Specialization: Werewolf Location: The first time you meet a young sorceress in wild lands Korcari. After completing the story quest "Tower of Ishal", the Hero will be able to enlist her support. Personal Quest: As soon as you get to the tower of magicians, Morrigan will ask the Hero to find a dark grimoire in this tower. After you give her the book, talk to her again. She will ask you to kill her mother Flemeth and bring back the old witch's book. Romantic relationship: Romance with the Morrigan is only available to a male Hero. To start a romance, just raise her attitude towards you high enough. Gifts: A special gift for the lovely Morrigan would be a mirror, similar to the one that her mother broke when Morrigan was still very young. Mirror can be bought from a merchant in Orzamar Keep. Morrigan also loves jewelry. Moment of Crisis: Without your team, Morrigan will not leave you, no matter how angry she is with you. However, it can still be kicked out.

3. Leliana Class: Rogue Specialization: Bard Location: You will meet Leliana at the tavern in Lothering. After the soldiers of Loghain start pestering the hero in the tavern, Leliana will intercede for you. After that, she will become your companion. Personal Quest: A personal quest will be connected with Leliana Marjoline's chef. First, ask Leliana about the reason for her appearance in Lothering. During the questioning, she admits that she was previously a bard and worked for bandits. After that, when quickly traveling with Leliana between locations, a squad of assassins will attack the Hero. Having defeated their commander in chief, he will tell that he was hired by Marjoline to kill Leliana. Romantic relationship: Romantic relationships with Leliana are available to both the male Hero and the female Hero. To start a romance as a female Hero, you need to raise Leliana's approval level to +50. The male hero will have a slightly more difficult time. There are only two moments available when you can start a romance.

• Talk to Leliana about her life in the monastery and express admiration for her beauty. Tell her that all the novices in the convent pale in comparison to her.
• After completing the quest with Marjolaine, talk to Leliana in the camp. Ask her how she feels after what happened. Then say that you understand what she is talking about. And then say that people change over time. If at the end of the dialogue Leliana noticed that you look like Marjolaine, then this will be the beginning of your romantic relationship.

Important: During the course of Leliana's personal quest, you will have the opportunity toughen up Leliana. This will not really affect the game, but will only give you the opportunity to persuade Leliana into a love triangle with Isabella, who is located in the Pearl (Denerim) brothel. A quadrilateral is also possible if you persuade Zevran to do so. Also, when desecrating the ashes of Andraste, Leliana will not leave the Hero if you toughened her up.
If you decide to toughen up Leliana, then after completing her personal quest, talk to her in the camp and tell her that Marjolaine is right in many ways. Killing others is part of Leliana's character.
Gifts: Leliana's special gifts are Andraste's flowers. Also, when talking with the naga hunter in Orzamar, Leliana will ask the Hero to buy her a naga. Leliana will be grateful if you give her various symbols/amulets of Andraste and other church items.
Moment of Crisis: Leliana will leave the Hero's group if the Hero defiled Andraste's ashes during the Urn of Sacred Ashes quest. If at the time of the desecration of the urn with the ashes of Leliana was not nearby, then she will still find out about it in the hero's camp. But with due skill and a high rate of appreciation, she can be persuaded to stay. If you hardened Leliana during her personal quest, then she will not abandon the Hero even if he desecrates the urn before her eyes.

4. Stan Class: Warrior Specialization: Not Location: Stan is locked in a cage in the city of Lothering. Talk to him and offer to free him. Next, head to the church and persuade / force the reverend mother to let him go. Note: If you leave Lothering, then soon the village will be destroyed by the Creeps of Darkness. Thus, you will lose the opportunity to get Stan's companion. Personal Quest: Stan's Qunari personal quest is related to his sword, called the Sword of Beresaad. To receive the quest, ask the silent Qunari about his life. Raise his attitude high enough, then he will tell you about his sword and ask you to return it. Romantic relationship: Impossible Gifts: Stan will not mind if you give him various totems. Stan also knows a lot about painting. Therefore, give him paintings more often. Moment of Crisis: Stan will try to take over the leadership of the Hero's squad if you take him to the village "Vault" during the "Urn of the Sacred Ashes" quest.

Upon a random encounter on the world map, Zevran will ambush the Hero. Having defeated the elf, decide what to do with him. Kill or take as a companion. Personal Quest: Zevran does not have a personal quest. But if you enlisted his support, then after receiving the "Save the Queen" quest, in Denerim, while quickly traveling around the city, his friend Talsen will attack you. Defeat him and decide how to proceed with Zevran. Romantic relationship: To start a romantic relationship, just chat with the elf. If you raise his appreciation score a little, he will offer the Hero... to go with him to the tent.) If you want romance, then refuse him.

He will tell you that he asked Namayu to find out the location of his blood amulet, according to which the templars can find runaway magicians. We promise him to search the warehouse on occasion. The entrance to it is located next to the shopping arcade. We go inside, search the chests in the first room. We go to the second, where an ambush of the templars will be waiting for us. The restless templar, who does not want to lag behind Anders, demands that we give him to her. We send it to hell, kill it, after which we pick up the remaining things and dump it in the same way that we came. That's it, Anders won't disturb the church anymore.

Howe family
As soon as you exit the throne room for the first time with Nathaniel into the courtyard of the Tower of Vigil, he is recognized by a former elf servant who will tell him that his sister Delilah is alive, married and now in Amaranthine.

Sigrun's thief past
Come with Sigrun to Amaranthine. To the right of the entrance to the city there will be a dwarf girl named Mishcha.
