Y'all making these romance polls are being too generous with your multiple options. We have four races in Dragon Age. Pick one. I don't care what reasoning you use, your own preference, your character RP preference, or whatever. Pick one.

What if we have absolutely no preference when it comes to which race?

[edit] I'll give an example for how "other criteria" might pertain to these games. Say you do like all races equally, but slightly dislike the fact that most humans are Andrastian; this might lower your human rank just slightly. Things like that.

Elves! Specifically Dalish elves. Because their arrogance is matched only by their beauty and wicked ink.

Still no Desire Demon booty love! Nope. No hypothetical races or options like desire demons, sylvans, werewolves, vampires, mermaids, scaled ones, dragons, big daddy pride demons, or whatever else. This is for the romancible races we have in the game.

Humans are still my preference for romance. Though if the writing is good and the character is well designed I would go for any of them.

Human, because elves and dwarves are fucking tired and I wish they'd never been in DA in the first place, and Qunari aren't likely to let me top.

Hmm, in that case I guess my vote would be human simply because my favorite LI in 2 of the 3 games are human though it has nothing to do with the race. Then again the character I'm really hoping to be a LI in the next game is an elf, which would make it 2-2 so still no preference.

Voted dwarf, especially if my character can also be a dwarf. Especially if they're more culturally dwarfy like Sigrun or Valta.

It's too tough, I can't. My favorites have happened to be elves so far (and some humans), but I would LOVE Calpernia or a strapping Tal-Vashoth lady, and we're so overdue for a dwarfmance it makes my teeth feel funny. At the end of the day, personality trumps everything else for me.

I've voted elf, since my favourite romance in all 3 games ended up being the male elf option. On the other hand, my most disliked characters in 2 out of 3 games are female elves, so this is kind of curious

I'm picking qunari hoping that there are smaller cuter male qunari that exist that can fill my fondness of male elves.

In a real-world scenario, there would be, just as there is large variation among real humans. It just depends on what the devs want to render for us. If they'd be down to making more varied qunari in terms of body type, I wouldn't even look at elves! But since I doubt we'll be getting another m/m qunari, one that isn't a bulky huge giant like Bull, I feel it's easier to get behind a m/m elf, a gay one too. But honestly, I'd be down to all the m/m options being just qunari if there was variety in their appearance. So.. that's why I'm picking qunari lol.

I play elves when I can and prefer to romance elves not just because I find them attractive but for in game RP reasons as well because on the whole my elves aren't self hating and want their race to survive. With my Lavellans I had to come up with a good reason in my own mind why they hadn't already got a partner back with the clan since it seemed like the spy mission wouldn't have been entrusted to a total novice, nor would an inexperienced rookie have made it all the way from the Freemarches to Haven on their own. With the female elf mage I decided that concentrating on her magical studies had made her put marriage on hold, ditto the male elf mage, whilst with the male hunter Lavellan I decided the reason was that he was gay, as I knew from DAO that as a good hunter he would have had the girls lining up back at the clan. Since there was no female elf option he could romance in game that also made it easier to explain his choice there too.
That said, I really got burned by Solas so I might be a bit more wary about automatically opting for the elf romance next time round. As any elf background is unlikely to be Dalish, unless captured and made a slave as a child, it will be easier to RP them as not already being attached to anyone.
However, we have only had the option of 3 races thus far, since I don't really count Harding as a proper romance. So I've put my vote in for dwarf in the hope that we get at least one decent dwarf romance in the next game. With all the stuff that has been coming out about how mixed up the ancient elves were with the direction of the dwarven race, there could be a nice irony about an elf/dwarf pairing, united in their efforts against the Dread Wolf.
