Romance types you haven't had, but would like to

@re: saarebas
It's worth pointing out not all saarebas have their mouths sewn. It's practiced only in extreme cases. Similarly a rod (like the one we see in Ketojan's case) is not always used.

If we're going to have one, I would love Hissera (as well as some other DAIMP characters, but that's just side note) to make appearance.

That's what WoT says, it's extreme way of preventing casting, just like the rod. Normally chains, mask, leash and arvaarad are enough to make saarebas obey. In DA2's case all have their mouths sewn simply because of model reuse.

As of Hissera, she's playable character in DAIMP, who is saarebas. She was sent to aid the Inquisition when the Qunari tried to land the alliance. Former priestess candidate, whose role changed when her magic manifested. Other characters are really interesting and would love to have their stories explanded. Well, except Isabela, I'll let the girl have her well-deserved rest.

I have a feeling that most, if not all of the DAMP characters and several Agents were potential Companion ideas that got rejected or put on hold. Myself, I would have loved Amund the Sky Watcher, Tamar, Korbin, Argent, Hall, Palla, Sidony, Cillian, and yes, even ZITHER!

I also loved Atton and the "potential" romance between him and the Exile   It was cute having him being gelous from time to time or seeing his dialogue with Bao Durr (my second would-have-loved-as-romance guy of the game).
I think Atton had the right balance of flirting and slight mistrust. But, the thing that had me really like him, he felt really worried/protective toward the Exile. Is a thing I feel it's missed from romances many times in the last BioWare games. Many times companions in general have the tendency (in my opinion) to be very dependant on the player.
I'd like to see companions helping more the protagonist, be it with side missions like Fort Drakon, or moments where characters that aren't in the party help in a cutscene or something.

I was one who had her problem with Liara...but it wasn't the crush...it was that I felt she was obsessed with Shepard... really, seeing her having my Shep armour in display at her home when she rarely talked to her in ME1...well, that is not a "crush"... that's a step before obsessed, in my opinion...  (without counting the "body recovery", that I understand was "necessary" for the resurrestion plot...)

I think with Atton the crush worked because most of it happen when the Exile wasn't present, while the flirting between the two are good natured and easily can be seen as jokes.

Qunari are Qunari. Their belief system has more resemblance to Confucianism philosophically, and it does not quite resemble it either. Real world parallels are not strong in DA verse. I just want a Mage that enjoys being a Mage, and a woman who enjoys being tall, strong and awesome.

I'd like to see a potential male LI try to court your character instead of us doing most of the pursuing. Nothing like forcing us to accept kissy face scenes, but say we go do our daily rounds around camp and they leave a flower or a special weapon we've had our eye on for us during one scene, eventually leading up to them admitting they like us more than a teammate with some subtle dialogue that hints at personal feelings. Players can decide from there if they are interested and if not, that will be the end of it.

I REALLY don't want this. This seems a return to ninjamancing, which I hate. I don't care if people misinterpreting is more realistic. I don't want it. I don't like to play a flirty person and I intentionally only flirt with the person I intend to romance.

I can sympathize about the ninjamancing when you're only trying to be polite (aka Liara). What I was thinking about was preserving the ability for our characters to react appropriately about their interest. Up until a lock in decision, have the choice to say whether those feelings were reciprocated.

Same here. I usually flirt only with the character I want to romance (knowing who is romancable and by who is usually the only spoiler I let myself have for a game) and if I want to make a flirty character, he/she usually flirt with "safe" characters (minor NPC or non interested ones).
I would like not to stress too much about how I'm giving the "wrong wibe" even in games...

The only thing I didn't like about ninjamancing is the part where the flag should have been permanently turned off. I don't want to break up with Alistair twice. 1- HE brought up the fact that he'd noticed me tied at the hip with Leliana. 2- I told him I couldn't accept the rose. Sad face. Okay, breakup accomplished. 3- Nope, his approval meter went up more, and now I have to break up with him again. Have to see his sad face AGAIN. *shakes fists* Come on, I don't want to keep hurting Alistair just because I'm romancing other characters! Leliana only had to be told ONCE when I was romancing Zevran.

DFwarves are overdue by now. I'm still sad about not being able to romance Varric. So please give us a decent dwarf li in the next game...
