** [[HairTriggerTemper Velanna]] is an even bigger one. A large number of fans despise her for JerkAss tendencies, murdering a bunch of people with an incredibly flimsy motive, selfish reasons for wanting to become a Grey Warden, and overall shrill personality. Of course, a number of fans also love her for being one of the most developed characters in ''Awakening'', along with her HiddenDepths and willingness to change her worldview if given sufficient reason.

Some are even hoping that she will make a return appearance in future games due to growing intrigue surrounding both the Blight and the elves.

* UnderusedGameMechanic: The lack of romance in ''Awakening'' compared to the original game sticks out like a sore thumb. Especially if the player stayed single throughout ''Origins''. Nathaniel, Anders, Velanna, and Sigrun all could have been potential options.

* {{Fanon}}: It's often stated that, if he was recruited, [[TheAtoner Nathaniel Howe]] is promoted to Warden-Constable under the Hero of Ferelden. His ties to politics, as well as reliability out of the six ''Awakening'' companions, makes him the preferred candidate for the position. This is all despite the [[PlayerCharacter Warden-Commander]] not being able to choose their Warden-Constable, nor ever making that choice.

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodCharacter: Mhari, who was built up as a main character by early promotional materials, even gaining her own character trailer. Yet she is KilledOffForReal within the first ''hour'' of the game specifically to show off how dangerous the Joining was. We have a character who (like Oghren) ''wants'' to be a Warden, and surely the job of a Warden would lead to some interesting reactions. Yet she is killed off within the first ''hour'' of the game. Many people believe she should have been given more time or even branching choices that would affect her fate rather than be cruelly killed before any significant character can be set up.

* LateCharacterSyndrome: Whichever character you recruit last (Sigrun, Velanna, Justice) will possibly run into this, despite that they are forced into the party during a certain point and are fortunately [[LeakedExperience leveled]]. However, for some characters it can be avoided:
** If you decide to do Kal'Hirol last, you nevertheless can easily pick Sigrun up first since she's basically waiting for you at the entrace of the area; and then postpone her quest until the end.
** Velanna requires you to do parts of the Wendigwood questline first.
** Justice joins your party only very late into the Blackmarsh quest and at that point you have no choice but to finish it.
** Basically, if you want to maximize the time your party is complete, you're best off by picking up Sigrun first, then recruiting Velanna (but without entering the Silverite Mine), and then do the Blackmarsh quest so you get Justice.
