If i am playing as human, my PC would like to romance all without qunari.(not my race) And my character is never lesbian, because i am straight and like to see a man in the cutscene. What is your opinion and what are you playing?

For me, to quote Kelly Chambers, “Character matters, not race or gender.”
So long as I like the character and their romance, others things like that don’t matter.

I played every race in DAI except human.
Perhaps I will play a human in DA4, but that decision is over two years away, and subject to change.
I picked human female/female qunari, human male/female elf, and human male/female dwarf.

Going on previous experience, I will only get around to playing a human after qunari, dwarf and elf, so by that point ... whichever is the romance I am fourth most interested in?

I feel like there should be a 'I don't care'/'All of them' option. As it is now, people who don't care will have to select all of them, thus making their contribution pointless. As Hanako Ikezawa said, the type of character and their story is far more important than their gender/race. Not to mention the type of character my PT PC is will also impact who they would fall for. Since I am female, I'd probably go more towards female PC's. That is, unless the LI is a male only one. Also, I am a completionist. Unless it is a really poor match, I'll try to find a PC for each of the LI in the game. (Might not get around to actually playing the game enough times. However, I still plan it out in my head). |

well...I need to follow my pattern, so male human for my human female protagonist as to why? fem!elf warden + Zevran (elf + elf) fem!Hawke + Fenris (human + elf) fem!elf quizzy + Cullen (elf + human) but should the next game have a romancable companion of another race that I find more interesting then the obligated human romance option, then naturally my choice will go with them instead 
so I've voted for all of the options that go: pc female + (insert race) male

For me, to quote Kelly Chambers, “Character matters, not race or gender.” All this is true, but I want that great character and all the nice traits stuffed into a hot female Qunari for my human male PC to romance.   Its like having two identical cakes, but one small, mangled and lopsided, the other beautifully big, decorated with fruits and nice icing. The beautiful cake will always taste better even though its made from the same ingredients as the ugly one-. Wait, is that a good analogy?

I don't play human characters. I'll probably go with a elven lady as is my tradition (curse Hawke for ruining my personal tradition! May she stay forever food for demon!!!) and romance the guy I find the most interesting.
Than I'll go with either another lady Qunari or Dwarfette, and romance the other guy I find interesting. Than a guy elf/Dwarf or Qunari to romance an interesting lady or the gay LI if he's interesting. But I know I'll go with a Dwarf romancing a mage at least once. Is my second tradition from Origins.

I don't care for the race, or gender of my LI, I need to like their personality first, everything else is secondary. That said, I prefer not to be human in games, cause I'm always human, why would I want to be human in a game, when I could be an elf, or a qunari. (I like dwarves, but they don't get magic and I like being a mage  ) |

I'd go along with the previous poster and won't romance someone if their personality rubs me up the wrong way no matter how attractive I find them physically. I normally play elves and even as a human I'd probably be drawn to the elf character if I liked them in other respects. However, in DAI Solas was only available to elves and Sera just didn't attract me personality wise, nor did Bull's kinky sex, there was no dwarf option really, so that only left human.
To be honest I find playing a human slightly boring as that is what I am IRL so when in a fantasy setting I like to go with something different. Ditto if I am forced to play human as with Hawke then I tend to romance the non human options provided everything else is equal, although I had planned on romancing Anders first in DA2 because I liked him so much in DAA. Wasn't so keen on the threesome with Justice though.
Next game I'll probably steer clear of elven romances though after getting myself burned with Solas last game, particularly as every elf is going to be suspect as working for him (or the Qunari). I might be willing to romance a Tal-Vashoth or Vashoth but not a Qunari.

He gets offended if you make a joke about that in the romance, so clearly doesn't want Hawke to think of it that way. Actually, I was saying that a bit tongue in cheek. I was very tactful about Justice and it didn't really bother me until the incident with Ella that rather abruptly reminded me that Anders wasn't alone. That started ringing alarm bells that may be this wasn't going to end well as a romance so I just focussed on being a supportive friend. So I went with Fenris instead and he walked out on me after sex. I know we made up eventually (2 years later!) but at least he didn't blow anything up. Anders, Fenris, Solas: I sure know how to pick them, don't I?  Mind you Dorian was okay but not an option for a female PC, otherwise she might have been saved the angst of Solas.

If not it’ll be a repeat of dai and stay bachelor.

I usually don't go for romances the first time through.
...In fact, I think the only time I broke that trend was Mass Effect 3 (because Garrus, but mostly because of the mechanics of a trilogy), and KOTOR (because I didn't realize until later that Juhani and Revan were a couple now).
I tend to play my first playthrough a bit more conservatively and a bit more self-inserty, before I go off into making the character who I feel makes the best story. And I'm ...pretty damn asexual and generally especially disinterested with awkward power dynamics and/or GIANT THREATS DEMANDING MORE ATTENTION THAN SOMEONE'S CUTE BUTT. I might have my first playthrough include smooches if all the cards fall right, but probably not.
Second character through, all bets are off.

In first playthroughs I always pick human male. For romance, probably another human male or elf. Maybe Qunari if they have right proportions and aren't incredibly horrible to look at this time. Definitely not a dwarf though.
