That's one of the reasons I still can't romance either of them. 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. Yeah I was planning to go with DOrian once but it felt like I was getting in the way of true love, I felt guilty as fuck If it's any consolation, people don't have a singular, true-as-destiny, soulmate that they're meant for. We'd all go extinct otherwise from pining for that one special someone. It's comforting because it means you can love and be loved again instead of competing with others for rare individuals. Just because they didn't hook up doesn't mean they're doomed to be alone. What matters is if they choose your character that you can make them just as happy. And that's where I don't feel guilty. They choose to be with you if you make the first step. It's not like you have to break up an actual relationship first to romance them.

Solas, he broke the "every hero is lesbian" thing for me.

I'm such a romantic (at least in fiction - obviously not in real life) that I react in an opposite way to these "outside" pairings. I get so jealous of my video game lovers that I lose my shit if I hear even the tiniest flirt between them and some other character LOL So Fenris and Isabela never get to be in my party at the same time and neither do Bull and Dorian!

I am currently playing FOUR romances right now, three of which are canon/unmodded, so might have to reviese my vote for Bull once I've completed the Blackwall (Cadash), Sera (Cadash), and Josie (femAdaar) romances.

I think your reaction is normal though if your character is established in a relationship and other teammates are flirting with them. I don't mind if they hook up when single, but I do take issue with inappropriate trespassing. Josephine staring at a naked romanced Bull and Cassandra flirting with him when you two are together makes me want to have a talk with them. I sympathize when you're trying other romances and you have to remind yourself that you're a different character.

For my canon world state:
DAO: Alistair (dumped at Landsmeet, alas) DA2: Fenris (thought the mage/anti-mage dynamic was intriguing -- if I have to play human, I pick mage since that's a class not available to dwarves.) DAI: Blackwall (almost broke up with him because she was a thug and he seemed to have an overly idealized view of her, but I liked his no-nonsense approach and things got a LOT better after the carta background was acknowledged, loved the unexpected twist and very prefer him as Thom Rainier).

Josephine, tentatively; I dearly wish she had more content, even though I do love her. If Josephine quits the Inquisition.. I could imagine my IQ backing off from office the next day XD omg, just no. I'd plead for her to not leave me facing those nobles alone without her assistance. Just, no. But I guess that's how I feel towards my advisors, tbh. Main reason why I cannot let Leli take the sunburst throne. So Cassandra it is (that is saying a lot since I ADORE cas. But I cant let Viv take the reins..) Btw I've seen her romance content in Trespasser. Though the idea in itself is lovely, I think it needs better execution. I think it's rather short.. Just my 0.02 though

On my personal World State my Inquisitor romanced Dorian, but the Solas romance feels more canon to me

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." 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. Meh, my Lavellan was always meant to romance Cassandra. He was a 'replacement' for the failure that is my Male Warrior Trevelyan. Plus, I wanted to see her in a relationship with another mage.. Overall, Cassie's romance is a 8/10 for me. I really liked her, much as I liked Sera's romance, but alas, Sera didn't make it.

I never considered that inappropriate trespassing at all. Then again, I was thrilled when Isabela hooked up with Zev (and invited Hawke along) in DA2. And I romanced both of them in that world state.

I think it varies from person to person as to what is acceptable in a relationship. I get why it's funny from a detached viewpoint, but I would not wish that on anyone who is emotionally invested. It's just downright rude to flirt or stare at someone's naked boyfriend without consideration for everyone's feelings. I might have it wrong, but doesn't Isabela check in with Hawke before jumping Zev?

It's not that I think it's funny, it's more like - "yes, he's definitely worth looking at, look all you want " from my POV. Isabela says, "What? You can come, too." but you can put your foot down if you really object, and she won't go with him.

It's a hard one to understand because I try to be mindful of touching someone else's significant other, let alone hang around when they're trying to have personal time. Couples to me are to be both addressed, not just ok things with one half.

Gosh, can't vote. I've recently experienced the Solas romance so ... I can't choose : Solas, Cullen, Cass. Of the three, Solas romance hit me between the eyes. It's sad / tragic but not going to give up on him. Cullen's the warmest. Cass is in between.

I have 2 canon characters that romanced Dorian and Solas. Picked Solas because it seemed more tied to the over arching story, but idk, I kind of prefer my Dorian romance playthrough.

Solas, he broke the "every hero is lesbian" thing for me. Sera nearly broke the 'every hero is a fricken good-doing straight hero!' Thing for me.
