Sera is my canon, find it hard not to romance her as a fem PC. Surprised myself that I managed to see out that circle mage Cullen romance tbh. So DAO- Dalish fem Warden x Leliana or Lady Cousland warrior x Leliana (favourite DA waifu, easily.) :hearteyes: DA2- Fem Hawke x Isabela (I love this ship) DAI- Cos I'm a masochist, Sera x Dalish mage

LIKE SERIOUSLY, IT WAS MADE TO HAPPEN. Isabela is great. Though Male Hawke's snarky voice drove me to do it as a guy rather than a girl (and plus somehow i managed to rival her as well) Sera's romance is better than most people give it credit for - it's a rather heartwarming and humorous romance, and i like it precisely because I like the feeling that Quizzie doesn't always have to be serious, and can have fun every once in awhile. Plus it was great to do as a Cadash too. I'd play it again cause it was so well done, lol.

Cassandra is my Lavellan canon romance (whether she's Divine or not). He can't help falling in love with a woman who threatens to kick his ass at a regular basis. Also her constant look of disgust when the Inquisitor attempts to make light of certain events thought out their journey, it's just the best couple in my head canon.

Huh, surprised I haven't posted in this thread. Cassandra will always be my Inquisitor's canon romance.
She's just amazing.

Iron Bull (m/m). I don't consider him 'the' canon romance, but 'my' canon romance, sure. He's the one I guess I had to go with, and consider central to how I play DAI ('main' Inquisitor).
But it was a bit of a tough decision between him and Dorian.
In terms of 'the' canon romance, its a battle between Cassandra and Solas. That is, I feel I haven't really played things out until I've tried both (Cassandra from main game, Solas from all the expansive content and context). I dunno if I should add Blackwall or Cullen though. Blackwall due to earlier developed het romance for females, but Cullen for de facto fanservice squee hes so hot romance. So I'll just move on.

Well, for all three games, so far based on two more or less completed PTs each:
The two super-easy ones to pick: Origins (DA1): Alistair. So strongly the dominant romance that I can't picture anyone else as an LI Rebellion (DA2): can't decide between Anders and Sebastian. Both seems like a perfect fit into the story depending on what side you chose. Love both to bits, and want to actually experience full Sebastian romance with its unwavering commitment to nobody but him.
where it gets harder, it's with the Inquisition, where romances become way too numerous and fluffy imo: Inquisition (DA3): Dorian. I've tried Cassandra, Solas, Cullen, Josephine and Blackwall, and there is just nothing in terms of character onslaught appeal compared to Dorian. I know it was not intended, but for me, the "In another life" from Dorian to the female PC prompts: "I'll take it!!!"and everything else combined offered to her pales in comparison. Overall, the romance itself is not the best romance ever as it lacks the epicness and over-the-top grandeur I like in other romances, but the character himself is second to none. I normally like non-human characters, but neither Sera nor Bull are even remotely attractive "that way" to me.

If DAO were a movie, it would be between male Cousland warden and Morrigan. If DA2 were a movie,It would be between mage hawke and Isabella If DAI were a movie, I think the canon romance would be with mage human Inquisitor and Cassandra.

Had a crush on him since i first played DA:O!Same here. Hawke always made a point to stop by the gallows and say hello, no matter if Hawke was pro-mage or pro-templar. Only wish his looks from DA2 had carried over better to DAI. You're the first person to complain about Cullen's looks. Ever

You're the first person to complain about Cullen's looks. Ever I aim to please and gotta be me . Don't care for his armor in DAI either. Great character and LI though. Ah and that balcony kiss scene! Actually, was enough people not crazy about his pallor to get a few mods. I am playing with one of them. Heh, he does look very sick, and it works with the story, but ain't exactly attractive.

Didn't know there were mods for him -thanks! A darker complexion and more beard would be nice to see. The pale look does make sense with his lyrium withdrawal. He was so handsome in DA2 though. I am frankly not a fan of either. His personality changes are way more noticeable between the three games, and his Inquisition version, I dunno, I can't help but to feel disappointed that it takes an easy way of pointing an accusing finger at Templars. Even Chantry gets a few characters that are nice and stick to their creed, but apparently it's rad to be desenchanted in Templars, because omg, that's really the root of all evil. The Templars. Yeah, that's it.

Solas. Too much story there. He's like DA:I's Morrigan. With a lot less content and romance related dialogue.

I voted for Cullen since my first Inquisitor, a Lavellan, fell for him hard. My other favorite, an Adaar, hooked up with Josephine so I would have voted for her if there were two choices allowed! Yes, I have a type.

Yeah, that's it. The majority of the templars are stuck in their positions. Look at Kieran in DA2, he needs his job to support his family. They are not all bad. Kirkwall is a different problem. Meredith caused a lot of problems in Kirkwall, she could have reigned Ser Alrik in and managed the templars better. Cullen's withdrawal questline was not what I would have preferred. Would have liked to see him as a companion fully in the party, maybe his quest was to help another templar in withdrawing from lyrium. But not what we got. And the Templars of Kirkwall duly restrained Meredith... seriously though, the lyrium is apparently all awesome when Fenris does it, or the mages sip it like a post workout drinks, but when Templars do it, it's evil and should be shunned. I dunno, everything related to Templars just feels like a double standard. i also am completely in favour of Cullen being in party char, and Blackwall not being included at all. They seriously made too huge of a cast for the sake of far too many barely there romances with NPCs that have next to no story and go on one personality quirk each... imo, a bad idea. Less is more... like DA2. Well, that's me. I know that most folks are happy how DA3 did it, but I miss my story-telling romances a lot.

I dunno, everything related to Templars just feels like a double standard. The reason why Templars are given a harder time than mages is that unlike mages, they chose to be Templars. No one picked them at random and forcefed them lyrium. Another reason is that they're placed in dominant positions over mages where the latter doesn't have much of a voice in where they can go inside a Circle while a Templar gets to leave, go to a pub, visit family or go skinnydipping if he or she chooses once their shift ends. Finally, when the rogue ones do abuse their position, they often get away with it while the mage pays for their actions with Tranquility. Mages are not known for abusing lyrium like Templars do because it's hard to get access to it so they resort to blood magic because it's potent and versatile enough to give them independence from a finite supply. I do agree with you, it's not fair to lump an entire group together because there will always be individuals who are not the same. For every bastard exploiting his charges that he's supposed to be protecting, there's a decent one trying not to make life harder for those imprisoned unfairly. It's the same with the Dalish, city elves and so on. What needs to be examined are the principles guiding these groups and to adjust and challenge them to prevent these flawed mindsets from causing destruction to lives around them.

What needs to be examined are the principles guiding these groups and to adjust and challenge them to prevent these flawed mindsets from causing destruction to lives around them. And we never see a single Templar who found his or her life fulfilling. All Templar chars we get close to are disillusioned and shown in a non-favourable light, unless they've quit the order. We have no problems though having one after another heroic gray wardens who are likeable and stick to their swan song in the end. We have seen every kind of Mage, a lot of them extremely easy to emphasize with and to "save", and all of them remaining mages at that. (Shrug) i can't help to feel it that the Templars are the whipping boys of the game.

Most folks love how DA3 does things, the Romance Catalogue, and the whole Templars are to be hated, Mages are to be "understood" thinggie, and honestly, I have no quarrel with it. Perhaps one day there will be a Real Templar in the Catalogue, but then everyone hated Sebastian, so maybe not. But... so what. If everyone loves what is there, just roll with it.
