Well, those that aren't gay anyhow.
There are no condoms in this world, as far as I know.

There is magic in DA. And potions as well, so it wouldn't be difficult to create a birth control potion or use magic in a similar way.

It is possible to engage in sex without pregnancy occurring. (I can't believe I actually had to type that out, but here we are. ) Note also that there is a canonical method of birth control in Thedas: Witherstalk.

There is also the option of having sex without putting a penis into the vagina, like mutual masturbation or oral sex. Probably more foreign to straight people, understandably I suppose.

I guess I'm bored, so...
Given the chaos most of the characters face in the events of each game, it's logical to assume everyone is taking precautions against inconvenient pregnancies. In ORIGINS, it established that most Grey Wardens have low fertility rates. This would also count for Anders in 2. I imagine the main reason for Kieran is that he was conceived in a magical ritual designed specifically to get around that particular problem.
As for 2, Sébastien was celibate, and I theorize Fenris' lyrium tattoos could have rendered him sterile.
As for Inquisition, it is implied that Solas and Lavellan never got physical in the waking world. Cullen and Blackwall could have lower sperm counts due to lyrium and age respectively. Given his upbringing, indoctrination and preferences, Iron Bull could view intercourse reserved specifically for procreation.

It would be very interesting if there was an intimate scene with Solas who unintentionally impregnated the elven inquisitor. And at the end of the main game story, she starts to show symptoms of her pregnancy.

They absolutely could be. The trouble PCs and their companions get into, getting knocked around by bandits and demons and darkspawn, not to mention all the hard traveling, you could easily headcanon a discrete miscarriage or two into any of the games. Medieval-ish sexual mores and average medical knowledge considered, a fantasy heroine might catch and lose the baby early on, and never even realize she was pregnant in the first place. There's no 'going to the doctor' culture in Thedas outside Tevinter, except maybe among the more open-minded of the high nobility. Not everyone would feel comfortable letting a party healer like Anders or even Wynne examine them intimately intimately enough to say, no matter how many battle wounds they'd helped patch up. I guess I'm bored, so... Given the chaos most of the characters face in the events of each game, it's logical to assume everyone is taking precautions against inconvenient pregnancies. In ORIGINS, it established that most Grey Wardens have low fertility rates. This would also count for Anders in 2. I imagine the main reason for Kieran is that he was conceived in a magical ritual designed specifically to get around that particular problem.

As for Inquisition, it is implied that Solas and Lavellan never got physical in the waking world. Cullen and Blackwall could have lower sperm counts due to lyrium and age respectively. Given his upbringing, indoctrination and preferences, Iron Bull could view intercourse reserved specifically for procreation. I like the lyrium low sperm count theory. If lyrium is part of the Joining cocktail as well then that'd be one explanation for Warden infertility. Plus, Morrigan has a vested interest in no other warden babies interfering with her ritual in Origins, and might have taken some precautions on everyone else's behalf. Cullen and Blackwall are also both principled and disciplined enough to... uh... back out in the last minute. Can't imagine either of them taking that kind of risk if they thought it'd endanger anyone, including a potential child. Solas would at best have very mixed feelings about bringing a new elf/half-elf into the world as-is. And... do we know if Qunari can interbreed with humans, elves or dwarves? Iron Bull certainly doesn't strike me as seeing sex purely as a method of procreation, but in his situation there's plenty of reason to avoid complications.

How I envy people their ability to just decide that something isn't worth thinking about for a few seconds. *sighs wistfully*
Seeing as the fear of/potential to become pregnant is a pretty central aspect of femininity, and the narratives of most women's life stories if you look just a couple of years past their early 20's, you could argue that completely downplaying and dismissing that factor in games streamlines the roleplaying experience into an essentially male one.
Do whatever you think is right, make your mark on the world, have a guy in every port if you want! No, no, don't worry about suddenly having to work your life around having a baby strapped to your stomach for nine months due to either trauma or a very hormonally impaired split-second decision, and a biologically induced sense of responsibility for another human life that's commonly understood to be the strongest emotional force in the universe ruling your priorities until the day you die! That stuff is for NPC women to bother their pretty little heads with!
We've definitely had a little bit of a Daddening in video games the last decade and a half, as male gamers have grown up. Has there been a feminine equivalent I haven't picked up on? The only games I remember playing a mother in is Fable 2 and 3. And they pretty much made it a male experience, too, by instantaneously conjuring the kids into existence and making them someone else's problem by default.
