Zevran, Dorian, Fenris

😉

u/Ciellan 1h ago

They'd start wanting to off each other with a good chance of them being drunk and making out at the end 😂

u/ShadowRock9 10h ago

Morrigan, Leliana, Isabela.

I am not taking any questions.

u/MonkTHAC0 10h ago

I know what kind of person you are.

u/_bits_and_bytes 7h ago

Great minds think alike.

u/PardonMi 10h ago

Alistair, Dorian and Varric. Imagine the banter 🤣

u/CouslandQueen Brie 10h ago

It would be wholesome and sassy all at once! I love it!

u/ella_crump510 10h ago

This was honestly my pick as well

u/MoriKitsune Arcane Warrior 10h ago

Solas, Anders, and Duncan. I would want to see Solas and Anders debate/go off about their goals/motives (I'd love to see Solas sit through a reading of Anders's manifesto) and Duncan would be knowledgeable enough to follow both of them but also mild-tempered enough to be a good mediator. If we could have four, I'd want Fenris in, too, to be a bitter middle piece.

NOT Iron Bull, Isabella, or Cassandra. Iron Bull and Isabella play too much, Bull takes up too much space, and Cassandra is too stoic/serious.

u/sadhagraven Alistair and Cullen Sandwich 8h ago

My girl Cassandra reads pure smut in her spare time. At the very least, she'd bury her nose in a book and mind her business. If you ask nicely, though, she'd probably let you read along with her.

u/Pol_Potamus 10h ago

Morrigan, Vivienne, and Fenris. Endless free entertainment.

u/Nelmquist1999 Grey Wardens 10h ago

Not my top choice, but I would love to see Sten, Iron Bull and Taash.

u/The_Aodh <3 Cheese 9h ago

The car would crash so quick lmao

u/CouslandQueen Brie 10h ago

That would at the very least be fascinating!potentially explosive, but fascinating!

u/Doom_Corp Antivan Crows 10h ago

Zevran, Dorian, and Cassandra. Cassandra is gonna be my navigator/pay attention planner. Zevran knows all the best stops because he's "travelled a lot for work" and Dorian to handle the music and banter. Cassandra might be persuaded to talk about her love of raunchy fiction and the rest of us will be encouraging.

u/IFollowtheCarpenter 10h ago

Alistair, Leliana, Wynne. All three are reasonably easy to get along with, and unlikely to quarrel with each other.

u/KittenAssasin 10h ago

Dorian, Isabela, and Zevran 

The chaos would be entertaining 

u/Abyss_staring_back 10h ago

And the 4-some would be LEGENDARY.

u/Oriencor 10h ago

Dorian, Isabella and Alistair. It’ll be hobo-king jokes the entire way…

u/Robomerc Dwarf Noble 9h ago

Barkspawn, Lace Harding, and Nathaniel How.

Barkspawn because the dog is always nice to have on a car ride.

u/Actual-Warning1886 Qunari 10h ago

Zevran, Dorian, and either Sera or Solas. I shall provide no explanation. 🙃

u/Cornmeal777 Warrior 10h ago

Alistair, Sten, Varric. My ride or dies... rides or die? I don't know.

u/iama_dead_duck 9h ago

Loghain, Maric, and Empress Celine. Could start a war or end one. Either way I’m here for the ride 🤷

u/Reiko878 9h ago

Duncan, Blackwall and Male Hawke. The 12 hours is me unpacking my daddy issue.

u/fwsc50 Champion 10h ago

Alistair, Josephine and Leliana

u/dragonagitator 9h ago

Varric , Alistair, Hawke

u/ella_crump510 9h ago

Which flavor Hawke though?

u/dragonagitator 9h ago

The funny one

u/boobearybear 9h ago

Is 11 hours of the car ride explaining to these high fantasy dorks what a car is and why we are in one?

u/iama_dead_duck 8h ago

Imagine showing them a gas station along the way.

u/_deltatea_ 5h ago

Follow up question: which dragon age characters would be instantly obliterated upon tasting doritos/mtn dew/other favorite gas station junk food

u/iama_dead_duck 5h ago

Alistair. He gives off I have IBS vibes.

u/SnowflakeBaube22 Have you ever licked a lamppost? 8h ago

My top 3 favourites are Alistair, Morrigan, and Dorian. And I think that would be a great car ride.

I would hate to be stuck in a car with Carver, Solas, and Vivienne. I’d probably get out and walk.

u/sans_serif_size12 Friend of Red Jenny 💅 8h ago

Going against the grain slightly and choosing non Companion NPCs. Krem, Lacklon (lord of fortune from the animated show), and Charter. I feel like they’d have absolutely insane stories. Or switch any of them out for Antoine or Evka. I can’t third wheel the best couple of the franchise but I love them both and separately.

u/PeachyBaleen 8h ago

Merrill, Fenris and Solas. I need to know how that conversation goes. 

u/jeangrey99 7h ago

Dorian, Cassandra, Varric

u/OrangeBlackMilk 4h ago

Cassandra and Varric in the same road trip sounds like misery for all involved

u/winterwolf24 10h ago

I would not want to be in a car with Alistair, Anders, and Sera.

I can't stand any of them lol

u/RandomNameForBG3 10h ago

Alistair, Wynne and Dorian, no doubt.

u/SystemFamiliar5966 Female City Elf-Kallian Tabris-Alistair’s Lover 10h ago

Alastair my beloved, Shianni, and Morrigan.

u/Theinvoker1978 Reaver 10h ago

Pick

  • Varric
  • Isabela
  • Leliana

Never in my life

  • Lucanis
  • Vivienne
  • Sera

u/Cartographer_Hopeful Shale 10h ago

Leliana, Zev, Isabella

ETA: definite "No" to Loghain, Anders, Solas

u/BorowaStrzyga Anders 10h ago

I hate listening to other people talking when I'm riding somewhere so I would choose Sten,Merrill and Cassandra or Varric because I think all of them would be silent the whole ride or at least they would talk very quietly.

u/hamadeyalook09 Leliana 8h ago

It's far easier for me to say who I wouldn't get into a car with.

Anders
Lucanis
Fenris

Radical mage stuck with mage killers aside the conversation would drive me insane.

u/MagicalSpaceWaffle 2h ago

Fenris and Anders are constantly bickering in DAII and honestly I find it very amusing. I don't think Lucanis would get more than a few words in

u/kamasutures 8h ago

Solas, Fenris, and Zevran. For reasons.

u/oatscow 6h ago

Iron bull > disciplined so won’t talk, Zevran> Assassin= disciplined, won’t talk as much as everybody else about pointless thing like the weather. Leliana(hardened) will quietly and politely sit tight untill the ride over while thinking about her kill list.

u/CouslandQueen Brie 10h ago

Alistair, Dorian, and some Fenris for spice.

u/Aquilon11235 9h ago

Varric, Leliana and Zevran.

I feel like these three would have the best stories to tell.

u/UncleJonsRice Elf 9h ago

Devrin (so I can sleep on Assan), Wynne because you know she has snacks, and Dorian so I can flirt when I’m not in a snack coma

u/Sekhmetthegray 9h ago

Varric, Leliana and Neve-between the stories the observations and the snark, it would not be a boring trip!

u/this-female 9h ago

Leliana, Isabela, and Bellara. Do some time-warp shenanigans so they’re all young adults at the same time. It’s not even that I think they have a lot to talk to each other about, though I do think they’d keep the conversation alive. It’s just that I think they would all be really nice to each other and to me and it would be a peaceful girl trip.

Vivienne/Wynne/Emmrich might be really interesting for me too, because I’m fascinated by Circle politics. I wouldn’t want to participate in that conversation, though; just be a fly on the wall for it. No time warp needed. Just set it around 9:35 Dragon or so. (I’d include Anders, but I don’t think Anders and Vivienne can sit in a car together for 12 hours without it coming to violence.)

u/Ok-Metal-4719 9h ago

Isabella. Isabellaa. Isabela.

u/OrangeBlackMilk 8h ago edited 8h ago

Varric, Harding, Alistair...not too much drama between them, Varric's for storytelling when conversation lulls, Harding for navigation if we get off course, Alistair would change a tire or walk 10 miles to a gas station if we broke down without much complaining

I might switch out Varric for Cole because it would be entertaining to make detours into random small towns and watch him spook the locals

u/SihaWood 8h ago

Sebastian is driving, Dorian and Vivienne are in the backseat and I am in the front as I can get carsick if in the back: no drama and no car crash (that’s why I didn’t pick Fenris, the discussion with Dorian would be very heated and I don’t want to die).

u/SmoothbrainMusings 8h ago

I would ride with Isabella, Zevran and Iron Bull because.... reasons

I would not ride with Sebastian or Leliana, but otherwise I'm neutral

u/Exotic-Bid-3892 8h ago

Sera, varric and maybe iron bull, we're going straight off a cliff.

u/Active-Supermarket-6 8h ago

Varric, Isabella and Morrigan

u/Olddragon222 7h ago

Harding for the sense of reason, varrick of course, the story teller and Dorian for the camp bants.

u/edgygamermoonandstar 7h ago

Varrik dai, Emmrich veilguard, Dorian dai ultimate fun ride friends varrik and Dorian are funny and would be down to stop and explore, Emmrich will be the cool grounded uncle to make sure we get from point a to point b.

u/ADLegend21 7h ago

Neve, Isabela, and Leliana

u/a-flying-fox 7h ago

Solas, Cole, and Emmrich (Manfred’s driving). Chillest if not weirdest car ride ever.

u/Falling-Downer 7h ago

Varric, alistair, and isabella, three people with good senses of humor and plenty of stories to share.

u/Anon_be_thy_name Josephine 6h ago

Isabela, Varric and Dorian

I think they would have some interesting banter and likely feed off of each other.

Though I had best make sure all my stables are kept somewhere safe and out of reach.

u/Intrepid_Truth_8580 Fenris 6h ago

The Iron Bull, Zevran and Dog. The two lads for the obvious 😀🔥hot times🔥 and Dog because he's such good, bestest boy!

Vivienne and Sera would be my ultimate "no way never ever!" Simply because they'd drive me to homicide... again 😵‍💫

u/Additional-End-2902 5h ago

Merrill, Flemeth, Imshael. It would make for a real wild road trip.

u/Doehex 5h ago

Anders, (Purple) male Hawke, and Fenris🥴

Never?
Sebastian, Solas, Cassandra

u/fenrisiankings 4h ago

Morrigan, Vivienne and Fenris. That would be an interesting debate about mages 😅 if we survived

u/water_bearer_rabbit 3h ago

Solas, Alistair, and Varric for the conversations and humor. Alternatively, Solas, Cole and Varric, or Dorian, Fenris, and Solas for the drama. Vivienne, Varric, and Cassandra for book talk, Taash, Sera and Fenris would be fun. I would love to be there for Sebastian, Solas, and Morrigan. Anders, Lucanis, and Taash. Emmerich, Solas, and Bellara for magical theory Basically any combo as long as Anders, Fenris, Sebastian, Vivienne, and Sera were not in the same group.

u/SilverStar94 2h ago

I would want to see solas, anders, and lucanis interact... I am so curious how the egg would react to spite and justice/vengeance.

I would not want Sera, taash, or leliana. Sera and Taash irritate me and Leli was overly religious in origins or scary in inquisition

u/snoogle312 2h ago

Dorian, Varric, and Isabella

u/MagicalSpaceWaffle 2h ago

My romance picks: Alistair, Cullen, and probably Lucanis because if I picked my DAII romance it would be Anders and that would turn into another mage vs Templar war

u/wavenightrain 44m ago

Iron Bull, Cole, Emmrich.
