Which is the most satisfying romance to you?

[ALV]

Just curious.

As a heterosexual male the only option open to us is Cassandra, although, I would have preferred a more feminine woman to romance. Josephine is an okay option, but I really wish we would have had the option to romance Vivienne.

If you are playing a female would you go for a male or still stick to women?

There are literally only two options, but I suppose you could include Harding. Harding doesn’t seem like a fleshed out romance to me so I don’t really consider it an option. I guess I could have given Josephine more of a chance, but as an adventuring companion your only option is literally Cassandra who is more like your bro than someone I would date.

I don’t know who all these romantic options are you consider, but Vivienne doesn’t give you the option to date her and Sera is gay so you can’t date her either.

I still think Vivienne would be the most interesting to date as a male.

Personally I don’t play as a female character.

I can understand that, its a lot easier for me to get immersed into the world if I can play a more relatable character ie a male

i guess i just remember morgan and leliana being also side romances/flirt options but i guess that was just in my head

You're not entirely wrong. As one of my friends would have said, "right church, wrong pew." Leliana and Morrigan are fully-romanceable characters in DAO, but not in DAI.

So odd to see that sensibility so often. Personally, I take the "role-playing" part of RPGs fairly seriously, and always have, going back to original PnP "white box" DnD in the 1970s.

If you're never going to play anyone who isn't very much like you, what's the point? I mean...does that also mean you won't play as a mage because magic isn't real? I just don't get it...

cassandra is my favorite

although the iron bull romance scene is hilarious

[Knowledge365689]

Iron bull, than Sara, next Cassandra, last Cullen. This is after multiple playthroughs' on the Xbox using Female and Male characters. I'm playing my stream version currently I'm playing a male drawf I'm probably going to go for Dorrian. My least favorite is romance is Solace. I've never tried to romance Josephine I make give that go next playthrough.

Bull!
'Cause of the cutscene with cullen.

I don't mind playing a female character every once and a while but it's just easier for me to get into the whole vibe if I'm playing a character who looks somewhat like me or at the very least thinks like me (mostly good type characters). If the character doesn't have any of that then I also look for a character I would like to aspire to, like mages as if I have the opportunity in a game to use magic Imma do my damndest to use magic 😅
Edit: what makes it easier for you to get into character?

Exactly, I'm glad some people use their brain. Playing only the closest to your real self Is like believing, that actors can't portray anyone, who's not like them in their private life. An actor plays a role, in most RPGs the player also plays a role, it doesn't necessarily mean playing your actual self in a digital form, play whoever you want, that's what role playing stands for.

That being said, now back to the topic on hand. My female mage Trevelyan romances Cullen, because he (how to say it) "hates" mages, or well isn't much fond of them, so that romance is not just about your character being with someone, it's also about him overcoming his anxiety towards mages, falling for a mage from all the people in Thedas. There was a hint back in Origins if you play a Circle mage and with a mod even a possibility, but yea, what Ulthred and his abominations did to him is hard to overcome. So yea, my Inky fancies Cullen.
