I've been thinking about the DA2 romances recently, and here is a list I have drawn up, based on all the speculation this forum has done so far.

Male Hawke Options

Heterosexual Options

1. Isabela (practically confirmed)
2. Merrill (unconfirmed)
3. Aveline (unconfirmed)

Homesexual Options

1. Fenris (unconfirmed)

Female Hawke Options

Heterosexual Options

1. Varric (unconfirmed)
2. Fenris (unconfirmed)

Homosexual Options

1. Isabela (unconfirmed)

What do you guys think? Fair enough list?

EDIT: I have set up a romance poll here:

I doubt Aveline is a LI. I really hope she is, but something tells me she won't be. I also have a feeling Fenris isn't the gay LI, possibly not one at all. He just seems to stoic and unattached for romance.

I think he would be a heterosexual option for a female Hawke, if he were to be a love interest. But, he's unconfirmed, so I didn't include him.

Considering Isabela's "preferences," I'd say it's more than unconfirmed that she's the S/S option. But I suppose odder things have happened.

Jack and Miranda seemed that way in ME2. Yet, they both became love interests.

Seems like a fine speculation list. I want Varric to be the bi option though. :D

Mmmm, yes, same! Might actually be tempted to play male Hawke if this was the case!

Too many gay elves. I think it's stereotyping.

His appearance does fit the stereotype somewhat, you can't deny that... But, I'll update the list as we get more information.

As much as I'd love to think they'd give us 4 romance options per gender, I kinda doubt it. And I certainly doubt they're gonna give us more for playing a dude than a woman.



And unfortunately..that means out of the awesome characters so far seen..only 3 per gender will prolly be romanceable, and the bi interests will overlap, so 4 characters romanceable in all. Which makes it hard to guess, they all seem so awesome.



Isabella I'd say is the only pretty much confirmed one.

I have a tendency to agree with this.  As much as the inner fangirl wants Fenris as a romance option, I don't really think it's going to happen.  Same with Aveline and losing her husband.  I realize this takes place over a long period of time, but I still don't think it's going to happen.

BioWare has had multiple LIs who've lost spouses in the past. It's definitely not a barrier--the game taking place over ten years not only makes it more likely, but would also make it decidedly more realistic than some of their past widowed LIs.

There is no way that BioWare would create a character as handsome as Fenris and not offer him as a option for the ladies. Simply impossible. Same with Merrill. They can claim as much as they want that she is a temporary companion (or not even a companion at all), but given the official thread, I am putting my bets that Merrill will be a companion throughout most of the game, and that she will be romance-able. Same with Fenris in that regard.

See, that's my problem.  Before DAO, I never played any bioware games so I don't know where their tendencies towards certain things lie.  I do hope I'm wrong!

That's also subjective.  My roommate is also looking forward to this game, but thinks Fenris is really ugly.  She is a bit crazy though...

It's probably an optimist's way of thinking, but I've been hoping that maybe the companions are all LI's (aside from Carver and Bethany, who have been mentioned as potential roadblocks/speedbumps for relationships... jealousy, anyone?). It would be the most realistic thing to do, especially with a game taking place over such a long period of time. Why can't you fall in love with whoever you fall in love with? Also, none of them necessarily fit the bill of being "that's way too weird," like how Wynne was way too old, or you helped Oghren track down his wife (granted, Aveline is also married at the beginning of the story, but that doesn't necessarily rule her out).

Like I said, it's an optimist's way of thinking... but it's also the easy way of trying to decide who could be a LI.

There will be no romance options in the game, BioWare is just teasing us.

That would take enormous balls to pull off, but it would make my day.

Between her being widowed and what the devs have been saying about her being 'sisterly,' I seriously doubt Aveline will be a LI.



And the fangirls are going to skin me for this...but I also doubt that Varric will be a LI, if only because he's the narrator. It's irrational, I know. But that's my instinct. Don't kill me.



So that leaves us with the same number as Origins: Two female (Merril and Isabella), one of whom is bi, and two male (Fenris and Anders-dude), one of whom will doubtless also be bi.

Eh, I don't need your skin. I still think that, should he be an LI, he'll be the S/S LI for this reason exactly.

I really don't want "Anders" to be an LI. Well, I need more information on him before I fully decide, but I'm strictly in the Varric/Fenris camp.

Personally, I think all six companions (basically that are not Bethany/Carver) are going to be romanceable, Bioware's going to pull a Mass Effect 2 with this one.



Male Hawke:

Isabela (most definitely confirmed)

Merrill (very likely)

Aveline (possibility)

Fenris (the likely bi option)



Female Hawke:

Blonde MageDude

Fenris

Varric

Isabela (the bi option)



Plus I think there's going to be a romanceable NPC for either gender...sort of like Iona/Darrien in the Human Noble origin, except you get to build a relationship with him/her and it lasts throughout the game.

Being widowed doesn't even begin to rule her out. As has been said, BioWare has already done widowed LIs multiple times, at least one of whom was available not very long at all after being widowed.

That is a good point.
