Ok, everyone has some characters they like or fell in love with, this is the characteristic feature of any Bioware game, but what about relationships that your character don't/can't pursue? Which one is your favourite throughout all 3 games ? Mine would be Dorian-Iron Bull or Avaline-Donnic

All of them. I like Dorian/Bull, Sera/Dagna, Aveline/Donnic, the hints of Merrill/Carver and Sebastian/Bethany. I like Isabela's history with Zevran and the fact that she can hook up with Fenris (though they rly could've invited Hawke along for the sexiest threesome of all time). I like Varric and Bianca, Bhelen and Rica, even Alistair and Anora if you want to stretch it. And Blackwall/Josie too, though that one fizzled out as of Trespasser. I like that my favorite characters can find love and companionship even if I'm not romancing them. I'm happy that they're happy.

While it isn't romantic in nature, my favorite relationship between two characters is the friendship between Josephine and Leliana. The friendship between Isabela and Merrill is also really good.

"the hints of Merrill/Carver and Sebastian/Bethany. Ew, why? All of them. I like Dorian/Bull, Sera/Dagna, Aveline/Donnic, the hints of Merrill/Carver and Sebastian/Bethany.

Thank goodness. I'm so glad that never went past tokens of affection. I agree with you on this, though it's less out of (in my opinion, unwarranted) loathing for Blackwall and more out of finding "courtly love" to be utterly cringeworthy.

The friendships in this series are really great. If I listed all my favorite friendships I'd be here for days. "the hints of Merrill/Carver and Sebastian/Bethany. Ew, why? I have to have a reason beyond "I just do"? I think they're compatible and cute. That's pretty much all there is to it.

I have to have a reason beyond "I just do"? I think they're compatible and cute. That's pretty much all there is to it. Fair enough. I just... don't think it works. Carver's an enormous jerk in desperate need of greater maturity, and Sebastian is... if not a sociopath, someone with other serious, similar problems--he has no real morals of his own, he only copies those of others that seem like they should be right, and will throw them away if he gets angry enough.

Carver does mature in the Wardens. I think a lot of Carver's issues stem from growing up in a family of mostly mages* (in the runs where he lives), with his father and siblings having a connection he just can't share. Ironically, as a nerd in a family of jocks, I can relate .
While Sebastian's kind of meh to me, I think you might be being just a tad too hard on him. Having your entire family, then surrogate mother and colleagues murdered, and friends/potential wife possibly betray you can take it's toll .
As for my favorite side romances, I like the Couslands. Wade and Herren have a hilarious bickering old married couple vibe. Aveline divides me; as much as I really wanted to romance her, another part of me loves that Companions can *gasp* have lives outside the protagonist .
* In a few fan fics and headcanon discussions I've witnessed detailing Malcom and Leandra's original escape from Kirkwall, Leandra was the party Rogue .

To be honest I hate most of them, especially Isabela x Fenris and Bull x Dorian (I am really grossed out by relationships where the two people don't appear to be on equal standing, or where one person makes light of another's trauma). BUT I must admit, I truly adore Aveline x Donnic. They're a match made in heaven They respect each other, they adore each other. They're perfect.

I'd also love to see Cullen and Cassandra's friendship turn romantic if you don't romance either of them but I suspect that would spark a ton of hate from jealous inquisitors

I love pretty much all of them, but Dorian/Bull is my favourite. To the point where I am willing to wander the wilderness for hours picking herbs to make it happen.
I wish they'd done more with Sebastian and Bethany. (Although what's there is worth it just for my aggressive, Sebastian-romancing Hawke's 'BACK OFF' reaction to the sibling she otherwise never disagreed with flirting with her Chantry boy. And for Bethany's 'sister, you lucky bitch.')

I like them all ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. But tbh, I've never had Iron Bull/Dorian in one of my games because I either didn't have them in my adventuring party, was romancing one of them, or was too lazy to try and get the banter to trigger. I do like that they developed this into it's own side romance, rather than just keeping it as a crush or non serious thing between them like so many of the others.
Aveline/Donnic is probably my favorite and I always hook them up. And I love Carver so him and Merrill are super cute to me. All the love! For everyone!

I'm more for a Krem/Maryden ship. Cole's commentary on how much they have in common is touching.
I'm kinda iffy on outside pairings. Usually, it's hard for me to like some because it comes off as a pair the spares with not enough build up (Like Tali and Garrus) or I'm not getting a sense of chemistry between them.
The Blackwall/Josie pairing did have a touching sweetness in the courting and I liked that it showed that not every romantic interest will inevitably lead to a relationship. Bull and Dorian do have a spark together and it's nice to see that the Inquisitor isn't the only one who can find love. Sera and Dagna seem sweet together as well so I'll wish them all happiness.

Forgot about Krem x Maryden! I like them so much I go against my better judgement and make Cole more spirit-like even though I prefer him as "a real boy." But I find Krem standing/sitting in that corner staring at Maryden for so long to be kind of romantic in a stalker-ish kind of way lol And yeah I'm one of those who found Cole really sweet in the novel and wanted to have a cute romance with him, only to be told by his writer that anyone wanting to romance Cole is sick and weird... then we see Cole end up in a romance in Trespasser. Yeah, I was not amused lol

Aveline/Donnic Blackwall/Josephine Sera/Dagna
The rest I'm kind of "sure, whatever" about. The only one I actually dislike is Bull/Dorian. There is just something about that pairing that just makes me go "ugh". I love both characters and think they're great but together as a couple? Ugh.
