Misread Fenris as Solas, for some reason. Oops.
Fenris wins, but I'll be honest: I never found Abelas even remotely attractive anyway. So, this isn't a difficult choice for me.

Maybe, but there are similarities. The first time I played through DAI, I thought the big twist would be, that Solas and Abelas are brothers you know...that would be a great twist head canon accepted
anyway, out of all the elven males we've seen in Dragon Age...Fenris and Zevran are totally at the top... Why Zevran, though? He is undeniably charming and witty, but physically... I don't know.

Tbh, I don't care much for looks in video game companions. It's the whole package, I'm interested and out of the elves you get as companions, Zevran wins for me by far. Sera is interesting too, Fenris sometimes gets on my nerves with all his mage hating and Solas is a racist and very narrow minded for someone who claimed to have seen the great points of history. But imo Zevran is the best looking too (together with Sera). Fenris looks like a manga character and I really don't like manga style much (never even bothered with a jrpg for that reason) - but I did the Fenris romance regardless, because he might sometimes going through my nerves, but he is an interesting character, Merrill looks nice but is a total psycho and Solas looks kind of nice but as mentioned before is a racist and his romance is boring. I don't need steamy sex scenes, but some interaction, some comments. It shows, that Solas was a last minute addition. I don't even care at all about Abelas, he is just the dude with the hood telling you stuff. Since he is a bit bland on the personality side, I never really cared for him (and yes, you can make minolr characters interesting too - I care more about Dennets family than Abelas tbh). So it comes back to characterisazion in my case

Just one quest and you're done. As for bland personalities, I don't think being stoic, quiet, introverted or serious makes anyone "boring". Sten was fairly popular as I recall it.

It is difficult because of the change in engine and style between the 3 games. They made Zevran look awful in comparison with Fenris in DA2 but I didn't like the elven design in DA2 anyway. I'm pretty sure that if Zevran was rendered properly in Frostbite he would give Fenris a run for his money. Fylimar makes a good point about attractiveness being more than skin deep, in which case Zevran would be top for me.
However, in answer to the original post, Fenris would always win out over Abelas for me on looks. The latter has a good voice but Fenris has Gideon Emery, so no contest there. Also I've never really been into bald. I romanced Solas despite his appearance because he was an elf and seemed like he would be an interesting character. However, after everything that has occurred with him, I am pretty much against any ancient elf now, particularly bald ones.
To get an idea of the type of elf I find sexy, just take a look at my avatar.

Speaking of elven designs, I find it funny that the books and DAI insist that elves have large eyes but that was only true in DA2. Yeah, screw them. The best ancient elf is Felassan. Sure, he has a very warped opinion of the Dalish, but he is very entertaining. Mm. The picture isn't showing up for me.

Solas isn't well written as a stoic character imo. I like that character type a lot normally, Sherlock Holmes and Spock come to mind As for the looks, beauty is subjective, I don't get, what people find in Morrigan for example

I wouldn't call Solas Stoic. The simple definition of stoic is: "a person who can endure pain or hardship without showing their feelings or complaining." Solas is constantly showing his feelings, particularly if he doesn't approve of you or something you have done. When he doesn't show his feelings this is a deliberate choice to conceal the truth from you. I think Felassan would be closer to the idea of a stoic.

Abelas is too cranky to be better looking. But even if he was, he still doesn't have the voice.

Of course, we haven't seen Abelas melt into a smile either. *thinks about Fenris Smile Melt*

Fenris. Why? Because Abelas was most likely made specifically with his hooded outfit in mind.
No, seriously. A PC gamer removed his outfit on a video and all I could see/think about was how his nose and mouth were so exaggerated size wise. You can't notice it with his hood on, but it honestly seems like some of his features were emphasized in order to compensate for the hood.
...But then again, this could just be me.

Merrill: maybe the sickness is also affecting the forest? if so, that would not be good Fenarel: *sarcasm* that's an understatement

If we're nominating candidates, Zevran and Fenris are the best looking male elves for me so far. Merrill is very pretty, but she's always in the little sister category for me. So Sera is the most attractive female elf (imo).
