I think my biggest problem with Anders' romance is how he doesn't tell you about his plan to blow up the chantry when he asks for your help to do it. If you question him too much he emotionally blackmails you so that you'll go through with it. And if you help him you unknowingly become his accomplice to a plan you might very well disapprove of. I understand that the writers wanted the chantry thing to be a shock for a person in their first play through, but in my opinion it makes Anders look sleazy.
I don't want to sound like I'm challenging the people who do like him though; I realize a lot of it comes down to how the individual player interprets the situation. I love that the series has polarizing characters like Anders.

Alistair and Cullen don't matter? Zevran's romance arc one of the best in the series, he's honest, and if he "betrays" the Warden, the Warden didn't care about him for a minute. Kaidan is great, he's trustful, and a good man. Fenris has some problem but he loves Hawke, it's clear and his romance also great – and just as Zevran: if Fenris turns against Hawke in romance, Hawke never cared about him. There are many (almost)pure sweet romances for straight females, I suppose. Yeah I don't get some of the criticisms. Most of the issues are completely avoidable if you take certain paths. Regardless, even if Alistair does end the relationship, he doesn't lie or use you. He makes it very clear that he's regretful, but is trying to take his new role as king (which you force him into!) seriously. You meet Zevran under less-than-great circumstances, but if you follow through with the romance he is loyal when the crisis moment happens. I have never understood the complaint about Fenris. It's always been so obvious to me that he is in pain during the scene. I don't know how anyone can look at that scene, hear his words and voice, and think that he just used you for sex. It's like we played two different games. Cullen never lies or uses you. All the rest have various issues, but these four are solid, loyal, true, and love you to death. I'm just talking about possibilities of a bad outcome in all straight female romances. Of course, if you do the right choices it can end well. The Die/lie/use, is not in all the romances too, but it's still recurrent. Thane, Alistair, Iron bull (can) die. Anders Solas, Iron bull (depends on your choices), Blackwall lie/use you. And seriously, I find Solas and BW inforgivable. Zevran can betray you (I don't remember ignoring him), Fenris well didn't know about him. Jacob, well nobody cares about him but he finds himself another woman and has a child (?) Alistair (king route), if you want him and your warden to survive, you have to do the Dark Ritual. Meaning, he sleeps with another woman 1 has a child 2 If you're not a human noble you end up being a mistress 3. Cullen can be driven mad by lyrium.
Not to discredit your annoyance but I think only lesbians have been devoid of romances with a bunch of drama, deceit, lies and '' bad '' endings when it comes to Dragon Age. Especially in DA:I where the biggest hurdle really is Sera's close-mindedness and that's pretty much it. And I know some lesbians really would like some drama, hopefully they get it in DA4! No problem, I can only talk about what I have experienced after all. Never happened that Zevran "betrayed" my Warden, once, he said, he doesn't want to fight against his ex-lover. My Warden was not in a romance with him. But he didn't leave. In romance, he always fought against Taliesen. Okay, Alistair's happy end has a cost. (Everything has a cost.) Still a sweet romance. You didn't know about Fenris? Still, I don't understand, what's the problem with Cullen (okay, he can see an abomination in the mage Inquisitor) and his romance end. (I would like an in-game marriage to my gay heroes – never happened.)

I imagine, every my Hawke was very disappointed he didn't tell them his plan, that he didn't trust him. But he has some reasons, I suppose, I can understand. And even if Hawke asks him, he vaguely tells to Hawke, that what he plans is bloody. I considered that emotional blackmail a desperate act. He doesn't want to do it alone but doesn't want to involve Hawke directly. And he didn't break up if Hawke doesn't help it. But yes, I see why people uncomfortable with his romance, it's not for everyone. Not an easy one. You're right, he's polarizing, good deep and complex (literally...) character.

In act one he jokes around with Varric quite a bit. By the time act three rolls around he doesn't joke nearly as much and you can see how Justice and all the mage/circle issues are weighing much more heavily on him than the beginning of the game. There's also a cut scene where Anders gives Varric one of his possessions. I want to say pillows? It's clear that he's preparing for the event that he dies after the chantry incident, whether by Hawke's hand or a templar's. Compelling stuff.

Anders gives Varric the only thing he was allowed to keep that belonged to his mother, a pillow.
Anders based on his other dialogues never tells Hawke to take the fall alone in an attempt to protect them. Hawke that way can always claim ignorance. I would have lit the matches to him, of course....

It's clear that he's preparing for the event that he dies after the chantry incident, whether by Hawke's hand or a templar's. Compelling stuff. In the Act3 Meredith already liquidated the Mage Underground, she rules over the City. The Grand Cleric do nothing to prevent that. His peaceful solutions seem didn't succeed, he desperate and become paranoid, also Justice's more and more impatient. He knows, he must act, the time has come. He is determined, nervous and sad at the same time (mood swings). Hawke, even in the romance can't help (I suppose many people hate this as well). He knows, he will die (at least he expect that), and knows this is "just". So: he says goodbye to the man who (outside Hawke) is his friend (Varric was always standing by him). He gives him the only valuable thing what he has.

:sob: That’s correct, but Hawke is his only respectable friend who can reliably attract attention of powerful people... he is after all a fugitive. In a way what he tells Hawke is true: the explosion will separate him and Vengeance, because he is going to die. Aww, I know this thread is about romances you have not seen yet, but I want a romance with the same complexity and intensity, and with the character just as multi-faceted and well-written as Anders.

Talking about Anders reminded me of something from Pillars of Eternity, which gave me an idea. So like, so far we've had Wynne and Anders as companions who host spirits. And for the most part they seem to stay dormant except in specific combat situations. What if... they could "come out" whenever they wanted to be part of some conversations? Think of the possibilities! -A more mischievous spirit could interject when their host is making awkward attempts to flirt, and encourage them to be more bold. -A stern spirit might disapprove of you romancing their host, and you'd have to gain their approval. That one might be awkward though, since they'd be there like, all the time. I guess Justice was aware though too right? -It could be like, polyamorous, with the pc romancing the host AND the spirit. I don't know, the idea made me laugh so I wanted to share

I'm not sure, Justice really disapproves that affair. He disapproves the distraction, but I think, he was curious about the love, even in Awakening, in Kristof's corpse... Isabela fantasizes about Anders/Justice as well: "Speaking of romance...you, Anders, and Justice? That must be exciting! As they say, two's company, but three is better. [...] We know about Anders. What about Justice? Does he not get involved?... [...] No? You don't like his "spear of righteousness" then?"
___ By the way: a possessed, Avvar LI would be nice! They have a different view about the spirit possession.

Aww, I know this thread is about romances you have not seen yet, but I want a romance with the same complexity and intensity, and with the character just as multi-faceted and well-written as Anders. Hello everyone, yes 2 years later but i thing better late than never. I am someone who don't like anders romance. And i will explain you why.
Anders in awakening isn't my typ but he isn't bad. So i haven't Problem with anders. My problem is justice or more the two together. The idea is really really good.
But the change of the character is violent. at the beginning he fight against justice and hate the death he brings, than he gives up without reason and kill inosant people. It is like they have had to little time to work it out. it is a bit like schizophrenia, but bad workt out. Anders could try control himself he has love so why the quick change when nothing bad happend at the time. And after he destroy the church with inosant people inside he act like he is a bad man. As if he had always been like this. Than he stand up as if he were cleaned. I love psychology but here i cann't follow. So that is the problem, something musst happend with anders when we weren't there. And so i cann't understand his action.

Wait... what? How does this happen? My very first play I had a fem mage that romanced him and this wasn't an issue? No, was an exaggeration. He probably not, but he very distrustful toward the mages, I don't think this could change in such a short period of time. So can be a bit problematic romance with an ex-Circle Mage. Why? He loves you. And he has approve over your descision in origions and the things happend in Kirkwall. He don't know the answer of that question and wenn you see anders i thing it is fair. He don't want to lose you and he don't want you to do things you don't want to do. He have seen anders action. But when you show him you are strong he will get over it. Because he is a strong person, after all he has seen. I LOVE this romance and the one with Dorian the two best romance EVER.

I liked Alistair, Thane & Anders. So I would love romances like theirs again very, very, very much. Zevran was okay, I guess, as a rebound option. Don’t really care for Jacob or Blackwall, so i never really played their romances. Oh no, I'm not saying these are bad romances (Thane ME2 is one of my favorite characters), I was talking about the fact that a great number of straight female romances can end (or simply ends) badly. Bioware doesn't make dating sim, I'll never expect a mind blowing romance from them, it's simply a nice bonus, but I feel like they always use the same tactics. The guy dies, lies, or uses you. Maybe it's what the StraightF demographic asks, I don't know. At least give me the opton to Mochi them let me think: romance for woman with no bad ending. origion: nobel human: Alistair (the wedding is so romantic) (But you are disappointed in Inqusition hearing they are separated but hopefully we hear in DA4 they are back together. With a baby would be nice.) for the rest zeveran they are together always. I don't know how you got him go against you. I thing you have said something wrong. 2: Sorry I cann't recommend anyone there (Fenris is interessting but that's it. the same reason like anders. Sebastian ....) If i say more, i would make you all angry. Inqusition: Cullen (yes he can die *roll my eyes* (no more to say)).

Once again, you either missed or deliberately ignored the point I was trying to make. It doesn't matter what the culture of Southern Thedas or the White Chantry preaches; I was referring to what Tevinter would have done to these characters, and what it does to everyone. A truly good person would be unable to function within the Imperium without compromising their morals, leaving or being crushed. Even those working to change it have to be careful what they oppose openly, lest the bring death on themselves and everyone they hold dear. Lawful or chaotic, it's still idealized wish fulfillment, not how a real person would think or act. A truly three dimensional character has layers of positives and negatives, and could believably go in many directions. A complex KISA could become more pragmatic and patient towards change, become a more violently revolutionary who doesn't care about civilian casualties, become disillusioned and just leave, or any number of paths. If you ignore all the possible negative consequences of this person's arc, simply because that's what you want them to be, that's just bad writing. 1. My opinion: Tevinter wouldn't a worse place to these characters, in fact, straight the opposite: In Southern-Thedas, the Templar/Seeker can believe their purpose and they can be broken, if they learned, that their whole faith based on a wrong system, a lie, and/or their admired leader is a liar, an "abomination... whatever. In Tevinter, that corrupt system is really corrupt and decadent. Nobody says that the system serves some better good. The system serves the mage lords. Why they would believe the system. A KISA perhaps would protect Tevinter because they believe that the qun is worse. Or because it's a work, and they can help the people secretly. Their faith wouldn't be damaged because they haven't faith in the system. 2. Neutral. Not lawful or chaotic. But yes... idealized... two dimensioned. As Justice, in Awakening... yes? Why you think, I want a flawless LI? I suppose I would totally okay with a violent revolutionary. You probably missed, what I wrote. Let me help you. The problem with a KISA, or how you named it, is in Tevinter the system. Like Dorian the rebell said you do as they said or 1. disavowal 2. fear 3. death or you go like he does.

No, was an exaggeration. He probably not, but he very distrustful toward the mages, I don't think this could change in such a short period of time. So can be a bit problematic romance with an ex-Circle Mage. Why? He loves you. And he has approve over your descision in origions and the things happend in Kirkwall. He don't know the answer of that question and wenn you see anders i thing it is fair. He don't want to lose you and he don't want you to do things you don't want to do. He have seen anders action. But when you show him you are strong he will get over it. Because he is a strong person, after all he has seen. I LOVE this romance and the one with Dorian the two best romance EVER. I didn't say, it is a problematic romance, but can be, depends on how you feel about that he says about the mages, and about that you (the Inquisitor) isn't like the other mages (Lake scene – he's wording, he sees nothing in the inquisitor that he fears in mages), but the mage inquisitor is a mage... just like the other mages. And also some opinions of him, can be uncomfortable to a mage. But this is a sweet romance. I just see, there is more conflict, and not only about his addiction. It can be hard to both of them. Again: depends on your Inquisitor's view. There are many wasted potential for a hard romance. To me. (I saw scenes, I didn't his romance.)

No, I don't have problem with it: I think, Tevinter is a very good place for a Knight in Shining Armour, Southern as well. In Thedas I just have a problem with the "lawful" part of it – because I think, the law here is unjust. But of course, we can say: "universal law", besed on justice, righteousness, and then the lawful fits.

So back to the topic. jiiipppiii idea time. Be creative.
What would i like to see: elve male (a mix from zeveran and Dorian without the Cassanova and self in love behavior) for example (i love lord of the rings so sorry people you got to take this a lot)Legolas would be perfekt. As for the behavior in love. He don't know love himself but he knows sex. Love is for weak men he things. Yes it is easy to got it a little bit cliche but bioware are good they can do it. (So what is the thing we haven't get: the love behavior)Straight please.
elve female with family and sense of duty (you can say Aveline sort of but she is to taff)for example Eowyn is great, femini and not to sexy we need a balance. A woman can have sexapeal without showing to much skinn. She i a slave in Tevinter and does not join Solas.
dwarf: VARRIC (and don't tell me he has bianca. They aren't in a real relationship. And she is really bad for him, all know that. If it is needed i kick her ...)
I like the spirit idea, femal please.
A male new race wild and rough like the sea. For example aquamann (wow no LOTR).
human: So now sometinhg for romantic, a prince of a white horse.(or should i say black:P. Alistair is a bastard that doesn't count) A Magister of Tevinter (And i don't mean Dorian he is a rebell).
Next a male rogue rogue(Blackwall is not a rogue same for isabella they are criminal) I like reyes vidal but you cann't really help him or bring him on the right track. (i like being a Samaritan for people on the wrong way.) What we haven't get: a person how is on the wrong way and to bring him to the light.
female a rivian seer wise and good for example Galadriel.
So if we are in a LOTR fever what i really really would like is someone who loves dancing like lúthien.
I know game of thrones and the bible are the template. But LOTR inspired Georg R Martin, so it count to. and i love the statement of the story friendship, community and cohesion. Will always be current especially in today's times.
Now i finished for today. stay healthy.

Hallo guys, here i am again You have inspired me with your shinning armor discussion. I have played a little bit around and have created a basic structure. I hope you like it. Shinning Armor meets robin hood (We take a little bit of cullen, than a pinch of Sera, a piece anders and at least Dorian) He can be human or an elve and is in a rebel group (like red jenny + robin hood sort of)they are working in the shadows. You meet him the first time on a mission, because your group and his group want the same but for different reason. He saved your live. (He said because you endanger the mission, but his reaktion say his lie). Like Dorian said you don't hope for a relationship. There for he is in non. When an elve he is a slave with no family, because he don't know them. The rebel are his family. when an human he comes from a family in the system but turn his back on them. Both variations are happy in the rebel group and have many knowledge of the system. They try to help but different from what Dorian do.

Possibly controversial, but I would so love to have an asexual romance. Not celibacy, not waiting for marriage, just a normal, healthy ace relationship in which the character's sexuality is not treated as something to be changed or "fixed" by the player character. It would be nice if they could somehow have the character address it in a super casual way so fans couldn't just hand-wave it away. Something as simple as an "oh btw I'm ace so sex is off the table for this relationship and if that's going to be a problem for you maybe we shouldn't do this" line when locking in the romance would make me so happy. Pretty please, Bioware? A lady dwarf or lady qunari romance option would be awesome too (I know, I know, super original haha)

A lady dwarf or lady qunari romance option would be awesome too (I know, I know, super original haha) Considering how popular the idea of Fem Qunari and dwarf romances are on this board alone, I'd wager any potential asexual Companions are more likely to be human, elves or spirits. Not saying any of them wouldn't be worthwhile, just that a LOT of people have wanted their characters to be able to get busy with dwarves and horned ladies for a LONG time. Come to think of it, we haven't been able to romance an elven woman as an elven man yet either.

I didn't specifically mean an asexual lady qunari or lady dwarf companion (although that would be fine with me). I meant that I'd like to have a romanceable lady qunari or lady dwarf companion in general. Sorry if I didn't make that clear!
