So far my first PT has been my canon PT, it has been with a female and they have romanced either a human or an elf male. As much as I'd like to say otherwise, my first PT will most likely follow the same trend (unless the traditionally romantic LI is another race). However, I'm not sure whether I'd prefer a human or an elf, just that most likely they'll be male.

I picked human only because my favorite LI in the past games have happenned to be human, but honestly if the character is interesting i don`t mind about the race.

Unapologetically elfy here. Some of my favorite LIs are human, but if I have to pick just one race I'll go with elves.

So what I'm taking away from this is that qunari fans like them, but not necessarily as their first choice. Dwarf fans are ride or die dwarf, which gives them 3rd place. And 78% of the voters are boring......

I've been thinking about it for a while. I think for me, part of the reason I end up with human/elves is because I'll play a dwarf or qunari. I like the idea that a conventional human/elf would go for a non human/elf, so it's more about them accepting my PC, rather than me accepting them. Or should I rather say, it's about the conventional accepting the unconventional, if that makes any sense . For instance, I really love how you can ask Alistair if being a dwarf is a problem, especially if you initiated being intimate and he says he was afraid he was too tall. It makes me feel like a human was afraid that a dwarf would reject them because of their height, rather than the other way around (which I imagine is far more common). Or the way Blackwall calls you "Mylady" no matter what race you are.

And 78% of the voters are boring...... I choose to believe that some of the elf voters consider elf-dragon hybrids to also be elves. I would also ask them to consider the following properties of qunari - Pointy ears: βοΈ, plus horns Good at archery: βοΈ, in fact better than elves due to vitaar bonuses β hence why the Inquisition speedkills are so often done with a vashoth Dextrous hands: βοΈ, someone has to assemble all those crazy puzzle doors and weapons, and they canβt all be viddathari Artistic: βοΈ, see puzzle doors Close to nature: βοΈ, despite being from a warm climate, they have no problem running around the Marches in their skivvies

With all the stuff that has been coming out about how mixed up the ancient elves were with the direction of the dwarven race, there could be a nice irony about an elf/dwarf pairing, united in their efforts against the Dread Wolf. This makes me want to go back and romance Zevran and Sera as a dwarf (again). I do think you bring up an interesting point from an ancient "my people were literally spirits, also, our bad about the Titans" perspective.

It makes me feel like a human was afraid that a dwarf would reject them because of their height, rather than the other way around (which I imagine is far more common).I absolutely love this detail, and I don't even romance him. π So often humans are presented as the default, but this one little line reminds you that from a dwarven perspective, humans are really gangly and tall and all these surfacers have downright strange proportions to someone who's lived in Orzammar their whole life.

My fave four romances are 2 humans and two elves, but my preferred body type in real life is that of a slender (to very slender) body hair less man. So I picked Elf. And not because of Solas Unless it unfurls into maximum tragedy come DA4, his romance is just as bad as Harding's. Bring me some broody sexy elves in DA4

Hooman, please. By a pretty wide margin. I love the idea of having the other options as well, and there have been characters of the other races that I have/would love to romance (stabbed me in the heart with Dagna and Varric there, DAI), but my ideal hypothetical LI would be human.

If DA elves looked like Tolkien's Eldar then it would be elves but since they don't - humans - especially with the mod "Human Male Skyhold - Leather Alt" - such a fine arse!

I voted dwarf, of course. Outside of being my favorite fantasy race, the criminal lack of dwarf partners in Dragon Age games is appalling. The BSN needs to have some fully romanceable dwarf representation for its Character and Romance threads too.

Let's see. Of the three games my cannon romances are two elves, and one half elf.
Elf it is, I guess!

We'll see if the tendency continues next game (though now that I know I have a preference, it'll be difficult not to feel obligated to continue ).
