honestly the reason Dragon Age 2 is so good was because those characters really felt like your friends. Having the game span seven years is a big factor in this but just the way they were written, the way they stumbled into Hawke and then suddenly fit so well in the narrative without it feeling forced was a great. They all maintain their independence, they don’t follow Hawke blindly but are absolutely ready to throw hands with Meredith because they love Hawke, they’re Hawkes friends and it’s more believable they’re willing to sacrifice their lives for someone they genuinely like instead of following some Chosen One blindly into battle.
Dragon Age Origins has believable friendships too but in my opinion it still largely falls under the “follow the Chosen One” trope, whereas Inquisition feels a little forced with the friendships and they seem more like colleagues but the companion-protag relationship in DA2 11/10 and that will always be Dragon Age 2s strongest plus

Everyone’s gone—Odin’s gone, Frigga’s gone, the Warriors Three are gone, Asgard is basically gone. And so Thor and Loki turn to each other and say, you’re all I have left. And actually, that’s enough.” – Tom Hiddleston [Empire Podcast]
The Chantry teaches us that it is the hubris of men which brought the darkspawn into our world. The mages had sought to usurp Heaven, but instead, they destroyed it. They were cast out, twisted and cursed by their own corruption. They returned as monsters, the first of
the darkspawn. They became a blight upon the lands, unstoppable and
relentless. The dwarven kingdoms were the first to fall. And from the
deep roads, the darkspawn drove at us again and again, until finally we
neared annihilation…
