Morrigan isn't just my favourite Dragon Age character, she's the greatest fantasy RPG companion of all time

All this week we're looking back on the best of the Dragon Age series, to celebrate its 15th anniversary. We've got loads of great Dragon Age opinions and retrospectives, and we'll be adding more to the list in the days to come.

As the dust settles on PC Gamer's Dragon Age: The Veilguard review, which describes a Marvel-i-fied action RPG let down by its new lacklustre, sanitised companion characters and clumsy storytelling, I feel the time has now come where we can finally step back, breathe and calmly recognise what should have been obvious to BioWare all along—in Morrigan, the Witch of the Wilds, Dragon Age has always boasted the fantasy RPG genre's greatest of all time companion character. Because, 15 years after the series debuted with the peerless Dragon Age: Origins, not only has BioWare seemingly forgotten this (if it ever knew it to begin with), but has never even gotten close to replicating a character like her again.
