Hello again, When you make point 1 then:
2. Tell me who you would like to have.
Only if you like. Let me begin.
- the strong woman I see someone like Eowyn. Strong but a family person. warm and caring. An Elf maybe a slave. for both genders. - the sage a rivian seeker. A wise and calm character
- the unbridled guy Aquaman. A new race. straight. - the gentelman Magnus Bane. Gay and the same race as unbridled guy. - the rebell I see someone like Leogolas. he is a rebell but he doesn't put it on your nose. He is a free elf but doesn't join Solas. for both genders.
- the traumatized I loved Cullens romance. So sonmething like that for gay. A little bit different but as like. - the caretaker Maybe a spirit women. something like cole. Straight. - the bad guy Reyes Vidal but better worked out. - the storyteller VARRIC nothing more to say. - the lady FFX Lulu and no she isn't to sexy. straight and perfekt.
I don't want to read elf human straight. This isn't about race, this is about character.
I have done the poll before but it doesn't work out so well. If you want to see:
Have fun with your own creativity.

You do like your polls don't you? I thought this was about how I'd like to play myself rather than who I want to romance.
I'd like to be able to tell a few stories and even sing the odd song, to inspire my friends or even just make for something interesting to do around the campfire of an evening. Not likely to happen though as the PC is always the usually the one on the receiving end, except at Varric's Wicked Grace party. That was fun. If the person I romance wants to tell a few stories, that is good too, but for the same reason that I would, not to show how clever they are or how much more than know than me. More like Merrill when she is telling the mabari about the Dread Wolf and the courser.
I'd also be happy with a revolutionist if that means we are leading the fight for freedom for the slaves. May be the leader of the anti-slavery movement in Tevinter. I'd rather they didn't blow up an entire building with people in it this time round though. Perhaps more along the lines of Sebastian's ancestor leading a campaign for civil disobedience that brings the city to a standstill (like Ghandi), although that would be a tad more difficult in Tevinter seeing as you'd not be trying to get rid of just one tyrant but many. So shades of Robin Hood in there as well, organising the slaves but also making sure they don't suffer for it and taking out the worst bad guys along the way. (Although according to Tevinter Nights it would seem someone is already sponsoring such action behind the scenes)

They give me an overview without having to read through all the comments. And they show people what i want in this thread. So you haven't read the question well. "which ROMANCE ..." what makes you think that i want to know how you like to play. I thought of "to experience" but play fits for me more.

Hm... let's see (yes I also love polls, fight me ) Gentleman, Knight in Shining Armor...Ice Queen/King (I love the defrosting ice queen/king trope (both Morrigan and Fenris fit in that trope) Funny guy, Rebel and Robin Hood I enjoy romances that give me someone to care about, even if at first I dislike them (happened with Fenris until I got to know his character and fell for him) Then again, a character I can care about and still butt heads with can also be interesting

How many times must you ask the same question? You'd think we were on Tumblr! Although I suppose it goes right down with the fruit-fly attention span.

Something you forgot: the scholar.
That's one thing I like about Dorian: he's interested in, well, everything; he wants to learn; he's a scholar. He may have innate power, but he's also worked to hone his skills and appreciates the academics of magic.

UNbridled? Fuck that noise, I demand that all the men in the game be FULLY bridled AND saddled, and have big, kind eyes and long swishy tails and go clippity-clop when they walk and I realise now that I am describing a horse I want a horse.

What is your matter? When you don't like romance poll, then ignor it. Why put the energy in a post. And if you take enough time you see why i have repeated 2 polls. And when it goes right down with the fruit-fly attention span, then it is okay and i have lerned something.

NGL, I practically do not care about any new options. I just really, really, want Sollavellan content in DA4. I've been waiting for so long and their story still gets me. I really hope, against all reason, to see some actual interaction and cutscenes between those two- not mere mention in the codex or slide in the epilogue. Gonna believe in something to keep me going, ha

- A Kal Sharok Dwarf knight in shining armour type fighting for the survival of his people complicated by the secret of that survival. Something that makes them different than other dwarves.
And *Tevinter Nights Spoilers*
- Neve Gallus, A Laetan Mage with more Templars in her family then mages. A private investigator who looks into cases that Templars won’t touch because the people in power tell them not to. Who’ll continue looking into a case after the client thinks it’s closed because she doesn’t. Who has a dwarven crafted prosthesis leg below one knee and faced a cult bent on destruction.

Give me a civilian romance. A romance that deals with life in Tevinter as a regular-degular non-mage. It'd be a great opportunity to show off the day-to-day life of the people in Minrathous.

I hate this limbo status. I know what you mean. And I want a Ending too. But you will not get your ending in the beginning of the game and your PC isn't the Inquisitor. So I think we get cutscene and maybe dialog options in the cutscenes, but nothing more. So you need to ease yourself and think on a new one and get your satisfying conclusion as a bonous.

1 vote for Punk Punx not dead NWN2 Bishop? He was a real downright sonuvabitch. I liked him. Indeed, you never reeeaaalllly got a romance but the mod for it was pretty decent and he sorta says something along the lines of romance in MoTB when he's entombed in a wall of decaying souls RIP Bishop but it's okay I ate gods for you babe. Redemption is pretty common in games, usually you redeeming/restoring your LI but what about an attempt at inverting those mechanics? Someone so darkly seductive that they pull you into their orbit instead of the reverse. It's harder to pull off but I already know Bioware has some srs writing chops when they wanna flex it, like I know there are people ready to yeet the world right into however many apocalypses it requires to have a HEA with Solas. Thematically I dunno if the drive would be there though since it does tend to read a weeeeee bit gaslighty but also, it's hot. So.

The bad guy and a bad guy is for me the same. Solas is an antagonist or on the destructive way. There is no the evil in psychologie. Many people can be fixed. What you search is an other category and not so in my poll. But you can choose the rebell for example and you wright in the comment you want an evil/bad rebell. Then you can wright what you looking for.
But thanks for your comment. People vote, but aren't willing to give a comment. No creativity.

I mean I voted for bad guy and meant it as my interpretation of bad guy, it's just that I think a lot of people share your interpretation of bad guy which is fine and true I just don't think it's the only possible manifestation of the trope.

I usually go for the LIs who seem to be the most interested in the PC. So, for example, Zevran in DA:O, Isabella/Anders in DA2, and Dorian in DA:I.
I suppose that might be categorized as “the obsessed”, but I don’t need for them to be obsessed, just interested. I admire players who can RP the higher drama/“hard to get” romances, but it’s challenging for me to work up to those.
In a lot of romances, the PC spends a bunch of early conversations flirting at someone without much escalation coming from the other side. It reads like the LI is just trying to respond politely so the conversation can move on. Starts to feel like the PC has some problems respecting boundaries. Even when I’m playing a morally questionable PC, I still think they’d be more interested in someone who’s interested in them, you know?

Even when I’m playing a morally questionable PC, I still think they’d be more interested in someone who’s interested in them, you know? Good to see I'm not the only one. This is part of why I didn't like Inquisition's M/F romances. Cassandra and Josephine barely react to the Inquisitor hitting on them, which makes them look either oblivious (not my thing) or uninterested (shouldn't be anyone's thing). With Cassandra I can believe is the former, since she's depicted as kind of a dork and some folks find that cute or whatever, but Josephine is supposed to be a master diplomat. How can she not pick up on such blatant flirting? If it wasn't because it's a video game and "failing" a romance is practically impossible, I'd have surmised they were uncomfortable with the flirting and trying to politely convey that they wished for the PC to stop. I wished there had at least been a way to cut through the BS and let them know point blank you fancied them, even if they took a while to get back to you on that.

arvaarad how do you know when a tree likes you, tho? It of course goes without saying that my sylvan lover would make the first move. Chiefly because I would need to see them move, first, to confirm that they’re a sylvan and not a regular tree. (but as far as actual first moves, the fun thing about sylvan/humanoid relationships is that both parties would need to be extremely flirtatious to get their point across, since they’re working with very different equipment — none of this “I guess we’re boning now out of sheer inertia”, they’d have to actively express what they want and how they want it)
