Relationships & Romance - How do you think it'll play out?

You forgot to mention crewmates as well. I'm sure there will be relationships with them like there was in ME3
Don't know. I will worry about that when I get to that point in game

DAI's approval system seemed so arbitrary. I remember a point early in the game, when interacting with Cassandra as a mage, one of the dialog options caused a pop up that said "Cassandra Disapproves" but her response was to agree with you and say she was impressed with your outlook on things.

I think Bioware's declaration of it being a more organic relationship system is really just posturing on their part. In order to establish meaningful and truly organic relationships the game would have to be 100's of hours long and have almost an unfathomable amount of dialog. Anything short of that and it just won't feel right and ultimately come off as kind of gimmicky haha. Anyway, I have no problem with how ME1, 2 and 3 handled it in the past and wouldn't mind it being the same.

I think bioware should make it like this.

I would like a girl to make the first move. While I am typing this out, I am also wondering, what would a female pick-up line be...

One thing I liked about DAI's romance system was that it was very much 'opt in'. So you couldn't get ninjamanced just by being nice to someone. If you were saying something 'romantic' the game made it very clear that you were being romantic. So I'd like to see them stick with that.

I also remember one of the devs (probably a DAI dev) mentioning that they wanted to do bit more with gating romances to plot-points, similar to how the Iron Bull romance didn't really kick off until you'd killed a dragon. That sort of thing might be interesting to see.

^tbh the hate no longer flows. There's just so much of it accumulated that is stopped up worse than when a paraplegic attempts to stick it in a cold, rigid, metallic cameltoe.

What? I have never seen a girl use a pick-up line; that is why I was wondering.

Like a bunch of drunk turtles who had one too many drinks.

wait, the romances were plot-gated? I know they couldn't properly start until you completed their companion quests and got to Skyhold (at least as far as I remember), but my Inquisitor was riding the Bull way before she ever got around to killing a dragon, lol. He hit on her as soon as his Qun/Tal-Vashoth plot was done, so I always assumed they were approval based, aside from the obvious traditional companion quest requirements. Still, IA that could be neat to see implemented in MEA.

Anyway, honestly, I wouldn't hate the return of the ninjamance as long as you could easily cut it off as soon as it popped up (and the scene or dialogue indicating the romance has been triggered were just flirty, not full-blown "I want to collect your eyelashes" or whatever poor Leliana did, since that's, uh, a little jarring.) If Bioware truly is trying to make the romances more organic, well, people develop crushes if you're repeatedly nice to them, or they take things the wrong way, and sometimes you aren't always the person initiating flirtation, yk? I liked that about DAO and ME1, I was always sad they dropped it in favor of giving all control over to the player. I honestly found it kind of charming, lol. But obviously ymmv, I know tons of players absolutely hated getting ninjamanced and even if I didn't, I can understand why.

As to OP's original question, no clue. I have no idea what Bioware's conception of 'organic' is, or what their execution of that would be. I tend to think it'll be just a refinement of DAI's system, which is a shame because I honestly wasn't overly impressed by it, nor did I find it particularly natural feeling (as much as that can be achieved in a video game) especially with the weird lack of cutscenes for many conversations, but who knows.
