Races and romance poll

I'm a guy and my preference is for human and elf guys, but I rode the bull and would totally have romanced Varric in DA2. Honestly, I probably should've voted for everything since I usually end up playing a female character at some point too.

Every lady wants to run her fingers through Varric's chest hair, we all know it is true.

I'm sad we only get to choose 4. 😥

Only 4 LI backgrounds though. Not a single demon-possessed tree to be found.

I'm a guy, and I'll romance the guy, who's interesting. (I voted all 4 races.) It not excluded I'll try another possibility, for example, I liked Morrigan's romance. But I just hope we will get a plot-relevant, story-rich gay romance. Still, Anders was the best in it – from every view to me.

Clearly the answer is for one of the  LIs  to be two dwarves in a trenchcoat.

"What was that noise?"

"Oh, my...  penis sneezed. Genitals, am I right, fellow humans? Ahaha! Gesundheit, penis!"

"Thanks. By the stone it's dusty in here."

"Did your cock just talk?"

"Why, yes... doesn't everyone's?"

I'll probably just play males, and romance human, elf, qunari men. Maybe human or qunari woman as well. Like, I really like Cassandra so I was very happy to break away from my "must collect the gayz" playthrough habit for 2 runthroughs.

Probably, but also because dwarven men can look really, really, varried. I mean, there's hot stuff like Varric and then there's 



which probably isn't everyone's cup of tea. But female dwarves usually look more like short humans than actually dwarves. 

For me, it's not the height at all. I like short guys. I like elves because they're smol. I'm like 5ft 3, so I'm basically dwarf sized, myself. lol It's the broadness and hairiness and general harder facial features. I'm more into androgynous men, so the hyper-masculine appearance doesn't work for me.

I feel like boy dorfs are probably in a rough spot because people that like smol men often slant towards liking androgynous men, which is why elfy boys are doing pretty good for men and women. The people into super masculine beardy/squared features/etc. are somewhat more likely to also want height, so they'd probably prefer a qunari or just Blackwall type human. I don't think there's a big number of people that like both smol men and very masculine men combined.

Female dwarves don't really look more masculine, or just muscular/angular, in the way males do, though, imo. They're just shorter and slightly more curvy, but they usually have "cute" feminine faces and little obvious muscle. I would guess that's why they rated better with straight guys than qunari women.

What I'm saying is that most Dragon Age Inquisition female dwarves are generally pretty little humans (Valta, Dagna, Harding) while the male dwarves are pretty varied in appearance, not shying away from big beards, big noses and big ears, which are very dwarfy features to me, making male dwarfs look more like what I'd imagine a fantasy dwarf being, instead of just miniature humans, that most female dwarves (in DAI) are. 

Totally. I mean look at the damn concept art for male/female dwarves in DA. It's pretty telling that male dwarves represent a more classic idea of fantasy dwarves while the women are still pretty '' easy on the eyes '' for most people. And while I'm not attacking Bioware for this being the case, it probably IS a reason people are more interested in romancing female dwarves than male dwarves.
