Predict the romances of DA4

I disagree that just because they come from a source that has noncanon possibilities that these characters can't be squadmates. After all, Cole comes from a book that has noncanon possibilities. As the devs have said, if there is a contradiction in the book or comic's canon and yours, that changes to fit yours but the rest of the story still happens. So in this case, instead of the Chargers or Sutherland's group it is just changed to nameless Inquisition forces. 
That said I do agree that they probably won't have all as squadmates. I think Aaron and especially Vaea can be, but Marius and Tessa will probably be NPCs that help us on a couple missions. I was just predicting what and whom for the romances would be if they do have one. 

Just because Aaron's alcoholism was dealt with doesn't mean he doesn't have room for a character arc. After all characters like Solas or Vivienne didn't have any real issues the Inquisitor had to be a shrink about. 

I don't think they will have the slave/ex-slave character be an elf, since that would be too similar to Fenris, so that leaves the City Elf slot open for Vaea.
I also don't think they'll do a Dalish Elf who is secretly an agent of Fen'Harel since that is pretty much Solas. If we do get a Dalish Elf squadmate too, I imagine they will be opposing Solas. After all he is the devil of their religion.

As for Tessa and Charter, I don't think Charter will be a companion. The game talks about her being Leliana's successor, so I imagine she will be in an adviser role like Cullen, Leliana, and Josephine. That doesn't exclude her and Tessa(they are definitely in an established relationship) from being a romance option since Bioware more and more have been embracing non-squad romances.

I wish. He'd have to talk or share an opinion or really have any other personality trait outside of silent scowl. He may as well have been a rock for all the energy he showed. His passion for Calpernia was sudden and unexpected and the only remotely interesting thing about him.

What did you not like about Charter, out of curiosity?

Just to make sure I understand, is the the part you don't like the part about her wanting Tessa to come back safely, or the part where she doesn't want Tessa to die for Marius?

Ah, okay.  I was confused about part of that, like not knowing if putting personal above business was a bad thing to you since if it was many LIs are guilty of this. As for the rest, I didn't read it as negatively as you did. Sure you could say that her feelings towards Tessa are selfish, but then love is inherently selfish and selfless. They definitely love each other though, at least from how I read it. 

Anyway, of the recent comic characters which ones do you want to show up as companions and/or love interests. And if they are LIs, any predictions or guesses who for or what kind of romance? 

Josephine? 

Out of the Four, Tessa, MArius, Vaea, and Ser Aaron?

Tessa, lesbian: I feel Meh about her. And since I dislike Charter, wouldn't want this to be the poly couple. It'd be interesting for her to break up with Charter, and then we could woo her and she wouldn't get back with Charter

Marius: Heterosexual, but very much based on personality and your brain so disinclined to sleep around. I feel Meh about him as of the info made thus far. Would like him as a rival to my romance with Calpernia.

Vaea: Heavy Dislike and so don't care at all.

Ser Aarron: hope he's straight or Bi so I can romance him as a woman. His Fereldan ties appeal to me greatly. I also like his tarnished hero vibe and am deeply curious what he did or was involved in that drove him to drinking. Being older, I don't think his culmination scene should be about sex, not that he can't have it but... I dunno. I hope his romance is super classy is all. No romps on tables or in hay barns.

But Cole wasn't a (potential) LI and his nongame baggage was reduced to 2 war table missions. Overall he felt like a 'new' character. Marius and Tess had unseen connections to the inquisition, Aaron and Vaea's story is ~done. They should have a side mission or a cameo. I want relevant companions, tevinter ppl (from slaves to magisters) and elves with Solas connection. That's my problem with qunari n/pcs too, it would feel weird to have a horned giant following us in the heart of 'no horned giants allowed' land.

Aaron also embraced Vaea as a partner, boss(?). His only unresolved issue is the ostagar, but whether it's the ogre thing (->sad) or the hiding (->~that makes him a sort of reverse-Blackwall) it doesn't really matter at the point where his character currently is. As for Solas he had his thing: the whole friendship path (respect and preserve the past and stuff) and the trespasser final choice. Viv had her old dude love and power play.

Tevinter elf companion can work, lots of interesting themes there, racism, slavery etc (this from a human only pc pov, but an elf pc-magister companion pairing could offer something similar too). Dalish is a similar deal; their own fake history, default shem-hate, elfy stuff.

Yeah, if not as a companion then Charter would be the perfect advisor character, sort of a bureau leader in one zone. Like in DAI but with a bigger role.

Ah, okay. I didn't realize that was also a prerequisite so was confused. 

I think I disliked everything about her and every word out her mouth. But I'll just settle for her Arrogance.
