Dragon Age fans have just held a huge tournament to determine who the best companion in the whole series is, from Dragon Age: Origins in Inquisition. Looking at all the mainline games and their expansions - and even including temporary companions - the fans have spoken: Alistair is the best one of the bunch.
Very fittingly ending up in the final against Morrigan, Alistair just about took the top spot by four votes. Looks like the community has a lot of love for the Dragon Age: Origins lot, as the pair had to fend off some incredibly popular companions from later games to get that far.
The poll was run by Reddit user BelovedDesperado, and was incredibly thorough. To kick things off, every single character who has ever been a playable companion in the series was split into 14 groups. This meant that even very niche companions like Ser Jory - who exists just to be killed in the Grey Warden Joining - got to go up against main party members. But of course, it was the latter group who came out on top.
Considering Alistair hasn't been a playable companion since the first game, it's pretty surprising to see...
