A World of Ice and Fire
Companions - Might Help Some of You
I got bored and compiled a table for you players who grab any and all companions then get sick of when they start complaining about eachother. The Table (well it's more of a list really) consists of the following.

1. How many Dislikes and Likes each companion has against them (eg, Ser Barristan Selmy has (-0) no one who dislikes him and (+1) one who does.)

2. A list of Characters who have no dislikes against them and states how many characters like them (eg, Qyburn (=1) has no characters who dislike him, but one who does.)

3. A list of Charaters I recommend you only use for sending on the Right to Rule quests as they have too many Dislikes against them. I considered characters who liked them and added that to their 'score', but if the number was negative they were added here. (eg, Bronn had 4 characters Dislike him but only one who Liked him, hence his number being "=-3" (-4 + 1 = -3)

4. These characters were fairly neutral. (ie, They weren't heavily disliked nor liked)

5. This is the final list of Companions I recommend you have for your party. The data following the names is a bit messy but it goes as follows. (NAME, NUMBER OF LIKES vs DISLIKES (eg, Anguy is liked by 3 characters and disliked by 3, but as 1 of his liked and 2 of his disliked aren't members of this 'recommended' party, their numbers do not count. Therefore 2 (LIKES) vs 1 (DISLIKE) =1), CHARACTERS WHO LIKE/DISLIKE THEM (eg, Syrio Forel is Liked by Ser Barristan and Disliked by Crastos. But as Crastos is not a member of this party, he has a '-' in front of his name. (ie, -Crastos)) OVERALL HAPPINESS (How many Characters they like vs dislike are in this 'recommended' party(Some characters have "(x/-1 Hibald)" such as Ser Shaddrich. The first number (x) is what their overall happiness is without hibald, but add the -1 with Hibald in your party (eg, Ser Shadrich's overall happiness is -1 with Hibald in your party)). The obvious exception to all this is the Character Hibald, who I would recommend you use as a minister (Personal Preference) as I believe he is borderline useless as a member of your party.

Hope this helps some of you players make up your mind when choosing which Characters you wish to bring along for your quest for the Iron Throne.

I did not include the special event Companions (Wun Wun, Dongo, Kurleket, Direwolf and Sam) as they do not have any likes or dislikes against them or other Companions in testing (ie, I have never had them complain about my choice of Companions).

I ended up with the group you suggest minus Qyburn and Hibald, but I have Ser Illifer and I made Bronn my minister, though I was thinking of replacing him with Qyburn now that I found him again... I also think I may have just lost Barristan. I was loaning him to Lord Grafton when I convinced Grafton to join my Kingdom and got the message that I failed the quest of loaning Barristan and he hasn't come back and Grafton doesn't show that he has him... I'm a little worried. Anyone ever experience a similar situation? He shows up as neither in party or on a mission on the Player/Companions summary and he doesn't come up on the list of companions I can ask about the location of....

Just curious, why Hibald as minister? Does it matter in any way?

I’ve had an issue in the past where a companion just dissapears, don’t worry, they’ll return to you within a month. I don’t believe there is any difference to having Hibald over someone else, Qyburn for example. I just fancy having Hibald as a minister as he is borlderline useless on the battlefield and in your party (apart from his trade skill which you can quickly/easily surpass). Don’t forget that both Qyburn and Sylva act like maesters and can heal you when on the road by taking to them

Something you may not know... I just picked up a couple of the Kingsguard. They were prisoners of a lord of Dorne and I took the castle and afterwards I had the option of asking them if they would join me. 2 of the 4 did. I don't know how much it matters that I have King's Landing at the moment. I also don't know if they ones that didn't join me are heading back to Joffrey. I got Oakenheart and Blount. I replayed the siege and ended up with a different pair.. I have no idea how they decide. It would be pretty cool if you could do this with other lord companions (and get Jon Snow!). Pretty cool mechanic though at any rate. They should be mine once I hold King's Landing and I was happy to see it work. I still haven't gotten Barristan back though :/

The giants (Dongo and Wun Wun) are only obtainable if you start with Wildling heritage. You will find their location West of Thenn beyond the wall in a cave known as "Giant's Cave" (it's been a few weeks since i've played, i'm not 100% on this). When you enter the cave you must defeat an army of giants, if you're victorious both Wun Wun and Dongo will join your army. The Direwolf is only available if you started with Northman heritage. You will find the wolf's cave West of Winterfell. Kurleket and Sam I found randomly near King's Landing but anyone should feel free to correct me on this information as this was all in the previous update and I'm no longer sure how accurate it may be.

easy way to have a full company without much grief is to just NOT have - Ser Creighton Longbough, Ser Illfer the Penniless,Qyburn, Xhondo and Crastos. the rest will get along, with a few gripes here and there, but pretty solid.

Hilbald will have to come and go so i keep him around to do emissary tasks, then boot him when he is not needed.
