Gah! I was actually thinking just yesterday of creating a similar poll but as multiple choice as I have a tied first choice. I actually don’t think I can pick between Gale, Astarion and Shadowheart, all of whom I rate equally, though in different ways and for different reasons. Lae’zel and Wyll are probably tied fourth for me, Wyll because he’s not quite working for me as discussed in the recent separate thread about him, whereas Lae’zel I’ve enjoyed what I’ve seen of her but somehow rarely take her along and have never tried her “romance” so don’t feel I can judge.
But because I don’t feel like I can vote for one favourite character without skewing the poll, I can’t see the results as that requires me to vote first
.
@Zerubbabel, perhaps you can summarise the results once the poll has been up a few days?
Alright, so I am going to summarize the results of this poll, Sozz's poll, and the subreddit poll in a tier list.
S-Tier (Near-universally loved, almost completely unhated, no major dislikes in Rank Poll): Shadowheart
A-Tier (Mostly, if not overwhelmingly, well-liked, with small minority of detractors): Gale
B-Tier (Either middling responses or polarizing, with similar numbers of lovers and haters): Lae'zel, Astarion (Astarion is either absolutely loved or hated)
C-Tier (Mostly disliked, 0 votes in Favorite Companion poll): Wyll
