Dead last.
Josh also said he wasn't surprised to see Eder as the most popular character, since he was designed to be your friend, the Varric of Eternity.
Eder was ok, but I am surprised he's the most popular - I personally preferred durance and grieving mother.
I'm not surprised he's the most popular. While I personally prefer Durance and Kana, I think Eder is probably the best example of the "normal human soldier guy" companion I've seen in an RPG. He's very chill and friendly, likes to be a witty cunt from time to time without overstepping it and being obnoxious, has a tragic past but doesn't whine and bother you about it too much and doesn't make me cringe. Most importantly he has a very positive outlook on life and when another one of my companions asked him about it he said something like "sure, I had it rough, but what's the point of angsting over it now, I'd rather hope for a better tomorrow". He's not very deep or original but damn I'd happily go adventuring with him any day. He's basically a trademark Bioware companion done right.
