I always fell for Alistair's goofy charm, but I did like Zev's romance a lot, too. It was like I broke his sexy shell to reveal something even sexier if that's even possible.
I came around to this way of thinking, eventually, but I still like Alistair better as a character.
If I'm being honest, Morrigan's romance was the one that effected me most in DAO. I romanced her with a Mahariel who was just so laid back about almost everything in the world, but then he had this doomed affair going with the gorgeous witch who always knew that she'd have to leave him and...yes. Awesome. I then did the unthinkable and decided he'd want to stay in this world with Sigrun rather than chase Morrigan and their son through the Eluvian, but I still love their story.
Now that I think about it, Morrigan/Mahariel is a pretty great parallel to my Hawke and Anders, only with Anders it's inevitable heartbreak instead of abandonment. Still, the doomed affair and the witchy part stands.
Yeah I know how that is. Alistair, as a whole, is still one of my favorite characters in the DA verse. Morrigan, too. Zevran and Leliana, to me, were not as integral to the story and felt like side dishes perhaps?
I romanced Alistair with female Cousland (not knowing that she could become queen eventually!) and I loved the story of these two orphaned Grey Wardens sticking together 'til the end, and then becoming a pair of leaders after all their hard work and sacrifice (of course, my Warden had to make a hard decision about Morrigan's ritual -- Alistair was the only family she had left and she was going crazy in order to keep him). I romanced Morrigan with a male Amell, and I felt like he learned a whole new aspect of himself (and magic) from her, and was totally Anti-Circle by the end (of course, he ran off with her into the Eluvian because, hey it might be fun!). He was very sad to see her go (at least for a little while), but I feel like mages more than anyone have to be used to people coming in and out of their lives.
Of course I felt like both of these paled in comparison to my Anders romance, because sheesh, they were together for a solid three years. That's a lot of time to get to know someone and be head-over-heels in love with them.
