10 Weak RPG Companions You Can Secretly Transform Into LEGENDS

Video game companions are meant to play second fiddle to you, the protagonist. It's really right there in their title—they're followers, so they follow.

However, some of your tagalongs can sometimes manage to grow out of their meager role, and with your help, they can be transformed into legendary heroes worthy of their own separate story, too. Despite starting off as complete weaklings.

Yes, with the right guidance, even the weakest links in your party can be transformed into the most powerful, the most influential, and the most legendary characters in their world.

They might start off as sick and easily killable recruits, but if you give them a push in the right direction, they can eventually become heroes, rulers, and even gods!

The transformation is so incredible that it genuinely feels like a shame to let these characters stay in your shadow forever.

That's why if you want to give your followers the chance to become someone who can outgrow the legend of even your own character, the following list will show you how this can be achieved.

Spoilers follow...

In Dragon Age 2, Cassandra is one of the most formidable Seekers, an elite secret police force of the Chantry.

In Dragon Age: Inquisition, she falls from glory as her trust in your character becoming the Herald of Andraste ostracizes her from the rest of the church and almost completely diminishes her position.

Thankfully, if you believe Cassandra deserves better, you can help her get back into the Chantry's good graces... By becoming its new leader!

Yes, although Cassandra has seen better days, as the Herald of Andraste, you can help her return to her former glory and then some by becoming the de facto head of her organization!

In the latter half of your crusade against demons, it turns out that the Chantry is seeking to elect the new Divine after the previous one has died at the beginning of the story. Depending on your choices, you can influence the church to pick one of three of your companions: Leliana, Vivienne, and, of course, Cassandra.

Cassandra is the least popular choice among the fans due to her maintaining the status quo in the church, but given all the hardships she endured, she really deserves it!
