I actually like that sort of traditional romance aspect, so I find it disappointing that Bioware tends to do it in the m/f romances more than the same-sex ones And as progressive as Bioware is, a good way to improve would be to have more "traditional" same-sex romances without angst rather than often making them deviant. Call me cheesy or boring if you want, but I'm a sucker for romantic things like Alistair's rose or Cullen's lucky coin or other sweet stuff and I'd love to see that in a female pairing. I'm totally with you on this; traditional stuff would be amazing in a same-sex romantic pairing because it is something we don't see or get to play very often. And to all who love their traditional m/f or f/m romance, that's totally fine! We like what we like! xD All of this for same sex pairings!! It's why Kaidan is my favorite Bioware romance. What does he do? Takes you to lunch and confess his feeling and then all is fluff until the end. I adored Dorian, but his romance wasn't my favorite. I wanted a more romantic relationship, that's why I ended up with Cullen. What can I say? I love my romances fluffy, chessy and trashy. Although, from a storytelling point of view, Solas is better. DAO: Alistair DA2: Anders DA1: Cullen

I have done several playthroughs and have different world states but I typically consider my first playthrough as "canon" since the choices made in it are the most honest ones and not planned. My first character in every DA game has been a male mage. Their significant others:
DAO - Morrigan DA2 - No one (would choose Anders if I had to pick someone to be "canon") DAI - Dorian

Had to cast a vote for my canon Inquisitor's Kadan. Even though I would have preferred my ultimate choice to have been an Andrastian for my devout male dwarf, the witty, loyal, and romantic Iron Bull formed the most powerful bond with my Cadash. And Cadash is the happier for it.

My Canon romance in:
DAO : None. A bit of Ali, Leli and whatever with wardens Cousland/Tabris/Mahariel. Manced a moded character instead in the end.
DA2 : Didn't play the game. Plan to do so in near future. Not a big fan of their romance but hey, at least Varric's there
DAI: Cullen. Dear God, he managed to be the LI in every.single.PT of mine (now how did that happened? XD) seems all of my lavellans are just waaaayy too fond of the commander. And I'm waaaay too attached to clan Lavellan's First to even try others. I normally can't bring myself to play as a dude, but I'm trying my hardest to make one, just so I dont romance Cullen [again] in my next PT. My Adaar will be mancing Cass

In all my Playthroughs my Quizzy has never romanced anyone other than Dorian.
DAO it was always Zevran and DA2 it was always Fenris.

DAO: Alistair, I replayed my first and only run about two times, I can't conceive romance to anyone else, sounds crazy but I can't help it Maybe in the future I try Leliana with a girl, I adore her. DA2: Isabela. I modded my DAO game to do a demisexual-only-for-my-warden Alistair, and when this game offers me to do that without mods and I went for the sassy pirate, ironic, is it? really love her. DAI: Iron Bull. I always knew that I would go for the Bull, I have been playing these days thanks to the Origin discount, and the romance was worth it, I'm his Kadan now. I think that Tresspaser dlc have new scenes, but I am about in the half of the game yet. I'm totally with you on this; traditional stuff would be amazing in a same-sex romantic pairing because it is something we don't see or get to play very often. And to all who love their traditional m/f or f/m romance, that's totally fine! We like what we like! xD All of this for same sex pairings!! It's why Kaidan is my favorite Bioware romance. What does he do? Takes you to lunch and confess his feeling and then all is fluff until the end. I adored Dorian, but his romance wasn't my favorite. I wanted a more romantic relationship, that's why I ended up with Cullen. What can I say? I love my romances fluffy, chessy and trashy. Although, from a storytelling point of view, Solas is better. DAO: Alistair DA2: Anders DA1: Cullen I love Iron Bull, but Cullen is so charming and Disney Prince like Alistair that argh! it annoys me sooooo much what those time restraints did to gay-male gamers... oh well In my canon my Inquisitor tried to go with Cullen first, without choosing the "perhaps I might interest you" option for not the get friendzoned that harshly, so this is it, Cullen has a crush on me but I understood what the second programming for the character was expecting from that, I rode the Bull and I made him the dragon necklace, and now we are a bara/"uke" couple. With Cullen being single, I hope Dorian will wake up the first and original intented programming for the character, I could ship them with my qunari bear and I could adopt a puppy for them there are scenes with him that are so homoerotic, I can't even XD And without mods!

I wanted my Lady Trevelyan to romance Solas. Alas, it was not meant to be (though, it would've been interesting story-wise I think). So, she is one of my only main characters in a Bioware game with no partner . Sounds a little sad but I think it works for my overall Dragon Age story.

Sera. Guess I'll elaborate: Sera with either my 2H qunari warrior or my DW dwarf rogue. Both were great; which Inquisitor I stick with as my canon will depend on what's in store for DA4, but my LI will always be Sera bc waifu. For DA2, my snarky male mage Hawke romanced Fenris. And for DAO, Zev is my favorite romance. I like him with dorfs. Thus continues the saga of unintentional elf fetishism.

I was planing to romance bull at first but then I started to sorta like cass more so I went for her and when I found out they can get together, I made sure to hook them up. Now I normally always try to make that happen. Though I think theres nothing wrong with romancing them, personally I just think they are perfect together. Tresspasser made that even more clear to me.

I had to change my vote from Blackwall to Iron Bull. I still do like the Blackwall romance, but Iron Bull is a really nice surprise. He is characterwise very like my favorite from all games, Zevran - loyal, funny, grounded.

I cannot understand people who romance Dorian or Iron Bull they belong to each other #adoribull The start of it is a little...squicky, given it's reliant on the idea that Bull is apparently just so perfect at reading what people "really" want, and knowing that in Dorian's case "no means yes". Given he can misunderstand the Inquisitor's playful flirting, seducing a drunken Dorian raises...issues. That said, they really do end up such a great couple that I am willing to look past the way it's written, and enjoy it for how it's intended to be. As for my own choice on the topic, it's sort of interesting for me...in the first two games I specifically went with Alistair and Anders as my "canon", because you can do their entire romance arcs and still end up losing them depending on choices, without just arbitrarily breaking things off with them, and I liked that fact because I didn't exactly like how the romance arcs carried over from those games. So when I got spoiled on day 1 that Solas will actually break up with the Inquisitor at the end of his romance arc, I immediately went for that, figgering three-for-three, why not? In the end, however, I didn't end up sticking with him (probably, anyway, I won't commit to a canon for sure until I see how DA4 handles it), because I didn't like how Trespasser handles the remnants of the romance (it seemed impossible to just be "over" him, heartbroken or wroth seemed like the only options that I saw), and because I think being a close friend to him works almost as well. My current favorite Inquisitor that I'm hoping to canonize romanced Josie, with my runner-up being a Sera-mancer, and the aforementioned Solas-mancer a not-too-distant third.

Hmm, on this topic, do you (and the other people in the thread) have any preference for whether the NPC or the protagonist is the one doing the poetry-reading/flower-presenting/gift-giving? (Optionally, for the protagonist, probably.) Personally, I'd love to see my Inquisitor give Cullen flowers or something similar. It doesn't have to always be the guy. And I'd also like to see a woman give another woman a flower, obviously, or a guy give a guy one. "Mix things up a little." I'd like both, giving presents and getting them (if my chara deserves them. ) Tho I'd like it, if said present also would end up as an equipable accessory, like an amulet for you LI, or you. --- As for my canon romance: - Cassandra (DAO: Alistair, DA2: Anders)but if I had to chose which was my fav romance so far, I'd say Dorian The only reason why I don't just say "Nope, the Dorian-romance is my canon!" is because I prefer the World State I got with Cass, (Softened Leli is Divine, Warden Allies, Celene & Briala are back together, Inquisition disbanded) to the one I got with Dorian. (Softened Leli is Divine, Warden Allies, Celene, Briala and Gaspard are forced to work together, Inquisition disbanded) Now, if I could've gotten Celene & Briala back together AND force them to work together with Gaspard... Funnily my Cassandra-mancing Lavellan was actually meant to romance Dorian, but then fell for Cass. She complimented him and he was head over heels in love.
