Falessan equivalent. An Ancient Elf who is against Solas- the modern people are worth saving, and it's the ancient elves who's times and lives must come to an end. Either violently or from old age.

Well, we have never had a chance to romance a male dwarf either. I would not mind a large dwarven and Qunari component to the next game, and having both male and female dwarf and Qunari, with just one human/elven option of each gender to change up from previous games. Oh yeah, I'm all for a male dwarf as well. Especially if he's into dudes, I got @daveliam 's best interests at heart. 😎 As far as qunari go, we've had two men and that's the main reason I'm gunning for a woman. I do think it's telling that Dragon Age romances have been humans > elves >>> one qunari >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> sort of half-assed testing the waters thing with Scout Harding. There can never be enough Qunari. I would be very sad if Bull will be all we’d ever get.

With the next game taking place in Tevinter as well as almost certainly Seheron and maybe Par Vollen as we deal with the Qun-Tevinter War, I'm positive we will have another qunari love interest.

Besides the gay kisa and the ice queen for f/f that came up already, I'd like a LI that's already a parent, by blood or adoption. There's Thane in ME, but not enough interaction with Kolyat.

I'd kind of like to see this, too. Doubtless there are lots of little Bulls and possibly a couple Rainiers running around out there, but that doesn't really count.

But prefer the older out of the house variety, to be honest, although I like "more interaction" or at least implied references. I don't want to have to be a parent to date someone. For example, I found the gay engineer in MEA unilaterally deciding to be a father with his long term female friend to be supremely....I mean, totally out of my control. You either break up with him or you don't and have to accept what's coming. I want parenthood to be a choice in my hands.

Gil's proposing a whole change to the relationship midway, and what I'm imagining is that we already know about this aspect of the LI's life from the start, before the first flirt option, so we don't have the shock.

Ugh, Gil's situation with Jill was awful, I don't want similar again. And the relationship between him and Ryder wasn't so intimate and strong when Ryder was forced into this decision In fact: there was NO relationship between them, when the problem emerged, only attraction. And Ryder was forced to decide. I know, there are strange situations in real life too, but not necessarily want to see these in-game. I would accept a child form an old relationship, and when I heard the first news about that Ryder and Gil can have a child, I was very curious, positively. It was a promising opportunity, but the result, Gil and Ryder's whole situation was just absurd and an insult ("you're a part of the problem"... when the artificial insemination already working well... Jill, the "best friend" just humiliates Gil, and wants to use him).

Especially if he's into dudes, I got @daveliam 's best interests at heart. 😎 As far as qunari go, we've had two men and that's the main reason I'm gunning for a woman. I do think it's telling that Dragon Age romances have been humans > elves >>> one qunari >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> sort of half-assed testing the waters thing with Scout Harding. Those statistics I always bring up in this conversation, for anyone who hasn't got tired of them yet: so far BioWare have written full romances with forty-five humans, fifteen aliens, eight elves, two half-elves, a nymph, an azer, a tiefling and a one-eyed Qunari. And zero dwarves. (Apparently an azer is a bit like a dwarf that is on fire, but I would still like to romance an actual dwarf. Preferably one that is not on fire.) At this point I have been waiting seventeen years, so I have my fingers crossed that we'll get Harding AND a male dwarf in DA4. At this point I would cheerfully romance Oghren and count myself lucky to have him. As to other romances I'd like to see: I second everyone asking for a female qunari. I think it's about time we saw a Tal'Vashoth companion, since we've had one that's totally committed to the Qun and one who can go either way depending on player action. It's probably time for a female elf who can be romanced by male elves, too. (Hawke is always human, Sera is a lesbian, and Zevran and Solas are dudes so we haven't seen one in the series so far.) Plus of course the gay KISA of many people's dreams! Also, my ultimate dream is for a character who is happy to sleep with the protagonist in a friends-with-benefits arangement, but doesn't want to get romantically involved and they really mean it. If the protagonist pushes for more and/or confesses their love then they explain they're not interested in that and gently break up with you. At the end of the adventure they tell you what a great time they've had, wish you well and walk off into the sunset. (I am pretty sure that everyone else would hate this and we'll never see it, but much as I love Zevran, Isabela and Bull I would really like to see a different approach.)

You either break up with him or you don't and have to accept what's coming. I want parenthood to be a choice in my hands. Uh... no? You can tell Gil that you don't want to and he fully accepts your decision. You stay together and he does NOT father a child with Jill. The whole timing and delivery of the suggestion might be totally shitty, but you DO have control over it. If you're in a romance with him, he says that Jill has asked both of you to be "the dads." You can refuse, he says your reason doesn't matter (and rattles off a couple of possible issues you might have), and that if it's not right for you, it's not right for him. While it may be an impulsive ask on his part, he takes the "couple" part very seriously and even says, "You and I are together now. We make decisions together." Besides the gay kisa and the ice queen for f/f that came up already, I'd like a LI that's already a parent, by blood or adoption. There's Thane in ME, but not enough interaction with Kolyat. We sort of get this with Vetra. Granted, it's her sister, but she practically raised her alone and all of her anxiety and concern is quite parental.

There can never be enough Qunari. I would be very sad if Bull will be all we’d ever get.  With the next game taking place in Tevinter as well as almost certainly Seheron and maybe Par Vollen as we deal with the Qun-Tevinter War, I'm positive we will have another qunari love interest. They could kill two birds with one stone; the racial Qunari* could already be Tal-Vashoth, and the Qun loyal LI could be viddathari (like Tallis or Gatt).
*It's possible that modern Qunari aren't technically the same species as Kossith anymore, given some of Bull's comments.

You either break up with him or you don't and have to accept what's coming. I want parenthood to be a choice in my hands. But think of the hilarious possibilities  ! The Love Interest wants you and their kid to get along, so you have to do some minor detective work to find out what they like. Queue awkward bonding, games (they get pissed if you let them win), an escort mission that's actually fun, and clearing up misunderstandings. Succeed, and you get a "I guess you're cool after all, but you're still not my real mom/dad" approval  . Bonus points if they have two children, and you can mix up their likes and dislikes. Yeah, you could bond with an adult child, but a quest to bond with a paramour's kid hasn't been done in a Bioware game to my knowledge. Not to mention how the lack of any actual kids in the world is creepy and immersion breaking to me.

Just...please do it for a female NPCs this time, please? We've already had Thane, Carth, Cernd, Keldorn, and Coran, but not a single female NPC with kids. I am ambivalent on a female Qunari, I just want a male Qunari that is different in every possible respect from the IB. But I will not help but be annoyed to have everything I ever wanted from a romance with a Qunari added to a female NPC. It is likely that this will happen and it really bugs me.

You know, with so much obsession here with physical beauty and body shaming characters that don't fit extreme standards, a small part of me hopes we get a Kal-Sharok dwarfmance with bad teeth, scars, boils and bald, but also just happens to be the wisest, most intelligent, bravest, kindest, and most moral Companion. Conversely, the most physically flawlessly and attractive Love Interest is a racist, raping, drug addict, demon worshiping, baby eating psychopath  .

Yeah, I'd rather they did not try to punish the players, and went into any extremes, and just did what they did in DA2. Nice or cool looking characters, not out of this world beautiful, with some flaws, some virtues and stories that are deeply intertwined with the protagonist's, are interesting and belong in the fantasy setting and all of them bi, non-gated. Now, if they do that, they can repeat all they want & be whatever race. I can live without a very specific romance I really want, as long as I can get a romance I like well enough on a protagonist that I want to play.

Male grizzled veteran for a male character. Can be subtly different from a male KISA (but can also technically be a KISA). If you take Blackwall as an example, I wouldn't consider him a KISA because he's naughty, but he's grizzled and bearded and ready to hug it out with you in the haystacks. Also for this character, I am anticipating a sort of stoic ruggedness, so Iron Bull doesn't fit the bill since, although he is grizzled and a veteran, he is also kind of happy-go-lucky and free with his, ahem, affections. Renn from the dwarf DLC could potentially fit this. A female swashbuckling KISA-type who will sweep the female PC off her feet. I don't want to melt her heart the way you melt Cassandra's or help Aveline bumple through her romance. I want her to be confident, strong, and clever, to flirt with me a shit ton and catch me when I happen to fall hehe. Kind of like a combo of Isabela and Aveline (which is kind of hilarious). More than anything though I want a s/s romance for either sex that is a main character. Like Alistair, Morrigan, Solas, etc. A really important character who is also available as a s/s romance and not straight only

I don't think this is true when the romance is started, though, since you don't learn about his past until later on. I think he absolutely does fit the KISA bill at the start of the game before all that comes out, when you have the opportunity to "fall" for him. I think it's very easy to play the romance as "you're not the man I thought you were." (I know that he does try to warn you away, but also that it's vague, so could be about anything.)

Good point, but ultimately you do learn that he's not a KISA, and so for me that means if I were asking for a KISA for male character, Blackwall wouldn't qualify. Like if that's what I was asking for, I would expect the character to be true through and through, a knight to his bones, sort of like Cullen. Now, consequently I WOULD like a m/m KISA, but so many people have no doubt already asked for that, I wanted to add that I also would like a grizzled veteran type (which would exclude younger characters like Alistair).
