The Character Romance thread (Official)

The mod itself isn't, but the same effect can be achieved by editing some code in your save on the computer. The reason it's possible with Xbox and not PlayStation is because Xbox saves can easily be transferred to a USB - not possible on PlayStation.

I wrote a guide on how to do it here kinneys.tumblr.com/post/150191460967/how-to-make-me1-gayer

Since my canon with Alistair is not official... Bioware 

Listing only m/m romances.


1- Jaal



Reasons: First romance without angst, no gay angst, first bisexual male with unique lines and scenes, first explicit sex scene with actual nudity, first alien, second m/m romance with plot-importance after Anders, cute and sappy romance. I'm a big fan of Beauty and the Beast too. Also, squadmate status. I'm a furry trash and Jaal is a catman

2- Kaidan



Reasons:  Kaidan was the epitome of m/m romances for me before Jaal, and we had to fight to get both. The fact is that Jaal only won because his romance is not a copy/paste from Sara and dont have cut content like Kaidan's. Aside of that, the romance is angst free, and he was one of the original ME romances, you can say he was plot-relevant. Even tho we missed the romance in the first game, the slow burn love was cute and felt real.

3- Iron Bull


Reasons: First qunari romance and with companion status. Big fan of monsters as you may know already XD Before Jaal, his romance was the closest thing to a Beauty and the Beast romance, it was sooo close. From a very sexual relationship to a very tender and cute love story, Bull is a total teddybear  

4- Anders



Reasons: First m/m with plot-importance and companion status. A lot of drama and angst if you are masochistic like me (although after sacrificing my Warden I prefer sappy romances). He's a great character with profound human inner fights, Anders is a character that felt very real with his struggles. I prefer doggos, but cats are cool =P

5- Fenris



Reasons: I'm not generally into elves, but if there was ever another m/m elf I'm hoping for another Fenris-like character, like Anders and other DA2 characters was very real, he was broken and the romance had a lot of that, fixing the person within this grumpy and tsundere elf. Also, companion status. 


There are flaws in these five romances, and neither of those are perfect. 

Hoping to add to that list a human KISA



and a werewoof  :hearteyes:



or both (KIFA)

*looks at Davrin's boobs's list* take out Kaidan (add Garrus) and Anders, and that's my fav boys too in DA and ME. and Zevran!

Oh yes gimme that! the thing with elves for me is that they are just skinny humans with pointy ears, there's no magic on them, they dont look fae at all. I wish the elves look like in the tarot cards



For me a perfect representation for elves is Prince Nuada, that man can play with me and his spear anytime man  :yara:

Good taste! I liked that Zevran didn't look young and like a boy, but so many mods made him that way and to me it didn't feel right. Solas too is not young at all, and neither is Fenris, but I see so many mods where they make them so young looking it's like I'm robbing the cradle. I'm more of a Cullen/Blackwall type of girl. I love scars, beards long shaggy hair and nice muscular bodies.

Give me Neanderthals any day! Skyrim was a dream come true for me. Vilkas and Farkas.

Mine was Vilkas, and thank the mod makers for all the joy they gave me 

My favs (I didn't try Jaal romance yet, so the order can change):

Anders. Passionate, romantic, a real "spiritual" mate, and my Hawke can be his best buddy, and his Knight in Bloody Armor. Two outlaws who set the world on fire. Perfect love!
“We can build a world where no ever dies for being how the Maker created them. Ten years, a hundred years from now, someone like me will love someone like you, and there will be no templars to tear them apart. May the Maker bring us victory.”

Fenris. Passionate, loyal. Plus have a bitter-sarcastic humor. And my Hawke can be his only friend and Knight in Shiny Armor, and his best drinking buddy. Not really my type, but still: eternal love.

Alenko. The old friend and more. The better half of Shepard. The true love.

Zevran. The first in-game lover. A bit annoying, but still the first. And devoted. First love.

Iron Bull. Not my type, but still my love.

I still haven't finished my first run at MEA...but I think I can already give my prefrences.

My favourite romances in a BioWare game are:

Garrus: still can'tforget my Turian

Solas: I'm still hoping for a not-too much depressing ending for him and my Darel, but I guess I've resigned myself. But I love too much how sure of himself that elf is while flirting...

Alistair: my first BioWare romance. Probably s why I don't like anymore the awkard type of guy to romance: it was one, it was great, but I don't want another one.

I liked a lot Iron Bull ansd Zevran too. While for the females, my favourite are Morrigan, Cassandra and Jack.
Unpopolar opinion here, but I don't love much Cullen. He is good looking, and is a cute romance, but I never found myself very invested in his character.

Sooooo... Sure.

My favorites are a bit loopy and highly subject to change, though. And, full disclosure, in like half the games listed, I either skipped romances entirely on my 'canon' or romanced someone else.

ME1: Probably Liara. It's cute. It's also a bit loopy and SO SAPPY, but eh. S'all good.
ME2: Jack. Yeah, it's got some weird dynamics, but if you've got a Shepard who's a total trainwreck and they trainwreck together and let Miranda down, I'm on board for that.
ME3: Garrus. GarrusGarrusGarrus. This is the only one that's an easy answer. Garrus has more content, doesn't forget you're dating (LOOKING AT YOU BLUE), and has a delightful dynamic. And it's funny, which is important to me. I just really like the interplay of "Friends who sometimes make out", and the pacing is fantastic.

MEA: ...OKaaaaaaaay, so I've only romanced Vetra so far. So I'm probably unqualified, but I suspect my answer will eventually be Reyes. I seem to love him an ungodly amount already. He's terrible and skuzzy. But I love that he and Ryder can get into whacky hijinks, and the man still has his own greedy greedy lying life to lead. We'll see. This one needs to percolate a bit.

DAO: Eh, probably Morrigan. I like how she can't even. But honestly, I like all four of 'em. There's not really a standout who I have to run away from so I can hit on the others, though.
DAA: NATHANIEL SHUT UP THE THIRST WAS REAL
DA2: Sebastian. I like characters with their own lives, and I honestly enjoyed how Sebastian set up so much behind the scenes. I can say, however, I hate 90% of the flirts (and you need to keep 'em coming). So it's possible I'm a complete idiot... But all that being said, I like it, jumping through hoops, vague conclusion, chaotic acknowledgement in DAI and all. Maybe I just like archery boys.
DAI: ...I like a solitary inquisitor more than any of the romances, but if you noogied me until I picked one, I'd probably pick Casandra because it was cute and dumb. And cute.

Is it just me or is there a love pattern with dark haired guys with 5 o'clock shadow? Lol
