1. Merrill. It felt like an actual romance, what with the moving into together and all. Plus I LOVE Merrill!!!
2. Fenris. So much better with an evil/mean female blood mage Hawke.
3. Leliana. 3 and 4 made me feel all warm inside, when I read the letters.
4. Zevran
5. Alistair. Always good for a laugh that one (the guy). Romanced him twice as many characters as everyone else.
6. Isabela. I almost cried watching that, and I don't cry.
7. Morrigan. Never romanced her, but from what I've seen of it in Witch Hunt, it was such a sweet moment.
8. Sebastian. It took too long to reach a somewhat boring romance.
9. Tallis. Didn't get to see enough of them.
10. Anders. Such a boring, soppy coupling. Plus, I didn't like how they made him bi... showed no hint of being ******.

I swear, the gift earring and the one Andy automatically wears, as with Duncan, were not enough to even remotely suggest bisexuality. Most of them are excellent, so it was a hard choice. 7 and up were, anyway.

Edited for the extra spaces I didn't put in myself.

Ahhh... Merrill... <3:wub:<3

1. Morrigan. I actually have trouble not going with her even if I had a specific other romance in mind. Feels like one of the romances which could have a significant story impact, and I kind of liked the whole tragic thing. Especially as we get a 'together' (if not happy) ending in the end. Also her personality suited my canon warden.
2. Leliana. Is interesting, sweet, and felt like what she did post DAO varied a lot based on your choices.Revealing her 'darker side' was interesting too.
3. Zevran. See 2. but it's more revealing his 'lighter side'.
4. Merril. Isn't up to the standard of 1-3 (IN MY OPINION before someone bites my head off), but her BM background makes things interesting to say the least.

I haven't experienced the other romances. I did just create a female character who will try the Alistair one however.

My favorites:

1. Alistair. At first sight I thought, OMG this guy looks so goofy and that's the romance option? Then he opened his mouth and Mr Valentine's voice came out speaking D. Gaider's words and I just melted. Funny, sexy and fun is a lethal combo for me. Easily my favorite of them all. I loved this character and though I tried to romance the others, he always ended up with my Lady wardens and was always my Cousland's bro-mance (if I played a male).

2. Isabela. Her romance is actually touching if you get her to open up and she displays a great deal of depth and (again, humour and fun). Even if I didn't end up with her at the end of some of my games, she's just so much fun to flirt with my Hawkes couldn't resist having at least one night with the pirate queen. (My favorite game was a sassy LadyHawke Rogue who swept her off her feet and became totally wrapped around Issa's little finger).

Yes, Alistair made me melt, too. That voice. Those words. There was one point when Warden was saying something about...how handsome he was. Then she says "my lips are sealed". Alistair says," oh, I'll get it out of you..." with that voice. In that way.  I confess, I actually blushed. I did. I'm so embarrassed to say.

I burst into a goof grin and blushed. Face all flame-y. (Please don't judge me...)

And Isabella, haven't done full romance with her, but yes, I can't resist the pirate queen either.  I feel like her and varric are the only ones that help me keep my sanity in DA2.

1. Alistair
2. Fenris (both rival/friend paths)
3. Morrigan
3. Merrill (rival)
4. Zevran
5. Anders (friend)
6. Leliana

haven't done the others yet (ba-dum-dum)

[Zetheria Tabris]

1. At first it was Alistair for me, but that was before I romanced Morrigan with my male Tabris. Simply phenomenal! To have her open up to me in such a way, when she was so secluded and had a cynical outlook on love...it impacted me so much emotionally, and I'm a straight girl.

2. Alistair. He's just adorable and sweet. But the whole dumping you if he's king if you're not a noble and he's unhardened thing lost him a few points.

3. Zevran, for the same reasons I gave Morrigan.

4. Fenris. It was touching, and I loved knowing that my Hawke helped him learn to trust people and to heal psychological wounds. He's sweet in his own way, though the constant remarks about mages wore me down a bit, and the hypocritical comments about Anders ****** me off.

5. Isabela - her romance was surprisingly touching, but it left a little more to be desired.

6. Leliana. There's more to her than what you see in Lothering, and if you get to know her she reveals her darker side. Surprising, but she was kinda clingy. Adorably so, but clingy all the same.

7. Merill. The elven Tali romance, basically. I can see the appeal, but she just doesn't do it for me.

8. Anders. Ugh. Just ugh. Way too dramatic for me, and the hypocritical comments he makes about Fenris pisses me off. If he were the same as the Awakening Anders he would have gotten a higher rank, but as he is now, I can't help but choke from all the cheese. Lamest romance ever.

From what I've played:

1. Morrigan: Already a story were you slowly get to the core of the "Ice Queen" (and being with her from the very beginning is great to see her transition) but with Witch Hunt it simply made it that much more meaty.

2. Leliana: Meshed well with my Brosca and had a great story to go along with her. Her personality also seemed a bit more deep than some of the others. It was good to see her in DA2 (twice!).

3: Sebastian: Went perfectly with my Chantry-lovin' Hawke, but agreed that the romance was a bit more shallow than others. Still, Sebastian is a great character and I liked his part in the story.

4. Merril: Eh. Gave my Hawke as tinge of a "guardian" feel. Definately a great character, I had doubts about marriage material until the DLC were some good banter confirmed her worthiness.

5. Zevran: Eh, felt abit too quick, cheap and cheerful. Perhaps my fault as I was looking online to doctor the best romance but it didn't feel as good as the others.

1) Morrigan & city elf, even though I doubt there was any real "love" to it. She's easier than Zevran and I find it comical that you can have her "seem" to change and open up after giving her a bunch of gifts, especially the mirror, but then after telling you how much you mean to her she throws a tantrum if you don't murder your own family and friends in some Tevinter blood magic ritual to get some awesome super powers. Out of spite I refused the dark ritual and gutted her at the end of Witch Hunt, but we all know she'll live anyway and is all but confirmed to appear in DA3.

2) Morrigan & human noble. Bed Morrigan, easy, then break up with her after getting the ring and she starts begging him to break up. Help Leliana and get some quality time, making sure to harden her and kill off her ex-girlfriend. Propose to Anora, banish Alistair, but convince Leliana to be a mistress. Perform the dark ritual, of course. Go through the mirror with Morrigan at the end of Witch Hunt.

I don't buy Morrigan's sweet act, though. I know she'll kill and eat the Warden as soon as they enter the Fade and she'll murder their child as part of some blood magic ritual to fuel her own quest for power.

3) Leliana & female Dalish. I never bought her being "bisexual," she's always seemed to be a lesbian to me. But thankfully Bioware made her available for both genders so players can headcanon the Leliana they want. There were times when she could be chastised for her casual racism and it was easy to headcanon that Leliana really desired to make herself worthy of a elven lover.

4) Isabela & friendship female or rivalry male. Isabela is quite simply awesome, and I regret never being able to buy her a ship, but it's probably for the best since the DA2 graphic engine was so incredibly wretched in depicting sea or land vehicles. It is curious, and appreciated, that she is far more possessive of female Hawke than male Hawke, especially in the second DLC, but her final scenes in the main game with rivalry Hawke are worth the effort of getting a 100% rivalry.

5) Merrill & rivalry female Hawke. I just can't bring myself to smile and go along with rebuilding the mirror. With or without meta-game knowledge I can't do it. However, I also can't rivarly her with a male since he seems unbearably condescending. Merrill wants her male lover the lead her, but she wants to support of her female lover. She's sweet and appears to be innocent, though it was obvious to me as the game went on that she does play to the others perceptions of her. And she gets PISSED at rivarly Hawke, something I'd like to see more of in future games.

6) Anders & male friendship Hawke. Actually, I thought both romances were good, but the extra backstory for the "gay" romance edged it out over the "straight" one. Some may whine, but I liked the fact that Anders was as crazy as a bat in scuba gear in this game, and actually had me giving second thoughts to automatically supporting mages in their struggles against the Chantry.

I have played all the other romances, but just to be complete. I was pretty much just going through the motions by the time I did the rest so it would be unfair to try to rank them with the others.

7) Alistair & dwarven female noble. Because I could and it makes me smile just thinking about it, though the way the outlandish romances runs it's course in the game confirms my criticism that the different races were handled too much on a superficial level. She's WAY more decisive than he is (who isn't?) and I like yelling at Alistair.

8) Fenris and any Hawke. Jack in DA2. Nuff said.

9) Sebastian & rivalry female Hawke. My mage slaying bad ass Templar wanna-be eagerly awaits for his return. Couldn't let Meredith execute Bethany, though.

[Murder Knife]

I've only romanced Leliana, so I can't rank them. It was pretty weird though. You want to catch my eyelashes and keep them in a jar? Lady, you're being crazy again.

[Jessihatt]

I've romanced all except Merrill and Isabela (don't think Sebastian really counts, plus I've not had the willpower to go through another play through of DA2)
But being a heterosexual girl I'm going to be a bit biased anyway with my number one choice.

1. Alistair - clearly. As a female Cousland too he's just the best option. So cute, plus a kingdom, bwahahaha.
2. Anders - romanced him as female mage Hawke and didn't kill him at the end. Anders is the main character of DA2 in my eyes too so no brainer..
3. Morrigan - OGB and seeing her evolve as a character is nice whether you romance her or not. Like a sister *sob*
4. Zevran
5. Leliana
6. Fenris - whilst Fenris is an interesting character, he just doesn't seem involved enough in the story to be higher than any of the others.

Be grateful it is only the lashes. Crazy people usually want the whole head in a jar.

1)  Anders - tied into the plot more than any other character in DA2, veers between romantic and heartbreaking, and end-game really made me think about my view of right and wrong, just and unjust, and changed me.

2)  Morrigan- tied into the DA:O plot- amazing reveal of full character, turns Dark Ritual into an act of love, includes Morri + LI running off into the sunset eluvian.  Leaves big questions open, creates a family unit again from what was a history of loss in each of the Origins.

3)  Zevran - Fantastic journey from skepticism and cynicism to him realizing that he could and was worthy of loving and being loved.  Presents a facade of being shallow, but behind the mask is some of  the deepest character writing in-game.  Heart-wrenching and wonderful, amusing and bittersweet.

4)  Isabela- again, for character development, this is one of the best.  She hides who she is behind a facade similar to Zevran's, and despite her outward confidence she's insecure, even to the point of exaggerating her character faults and trying to push Hawke away in one of her Hanged Man conversations.

5)  Sebastian- his friend and rivalmances show drastically different sides to the same character, and serve as a method of investigating who Sebastian really, truly is, neither saint nor sinner, neither priest nor prince, but a mixture of all of them, with a great depth of character and self-conflict.  Am hoping he will return in DA3 for rivalmance resolutions.

6)  Alistair, especially as a non-Cous- forcing Al to the kingship, and forcing him to choose between duty and love, his responsibility to the kingdom and the nobles and his personal wants and needs is a great story arc.  Interesting character development if you harden him.  No matter the choice with Alistair, none of them result in a "happily ever after," even WITH a Cous.  Great stuff.

7)  Fenris- a well-written character, and you feel for him.  But he doesn't change drastically in a romance, doesn't seem to grow or develop (especially in the case of a mage!Hawke.)  A dramatic romance with a great character, yes.  Completely optional even to recruit him and non-game changing?  Also this.

8)  Merrill- also doesn't develop differently in a romance.  No real moral quandaries, help her or don't, she doesn't give ultimatums.  Not a game-changer and while cute, her romance doesn't affect the plot in any way, no does it seem to develop her character.

9)  Leliana- Very, very bugged, leading to dialogues reminiscent of Fatal Attraction.  A character with great development in her DLC, but which seemed rather forgettable in the main game.  Romance had no bearing on the story, although her inclusion in the books, movie, and playing a major role as the Left Hand of the Divine may make her more relevant in the future.

I can only rank the ones I've done.

1. Fenris: My goodness. So hot.

2. Alistair: The most sweet, honorable, honest romance a person could have. Until Fenris NO ONE could top this one.

3 Anders: I used to romance only him until I finally talked myself into giving Fenris a go. He just wasn't the Anders from Awakening

I started a Zevran romance but stopped because I just didn't feel like facing the fade atm. Maybe I'll start it back up.

[SirGladiator]

I'd go with Leliana, then Morrigan (modded for my Female Warden), Isabella, then Merrill. Does Anora count? If she does she'd rank below the other four just because of how little there is to it, lots of potential there though, that never quite got realized.

[Kidd]

1. Alistair - come oooon this one's a given =D
2. Merrill - rivalmance that elf and omg
3. Leliana - shoes~~
4. Anders - I liked the angst
5. Morrigan - minefield!
6. Fenris - rough and angsty? =)
7. Zevran - we're ridiculously awesome
8. Sebastian - y u no content?
9. Isabela - as much as I absolutely love your character, Isabela, I found your romance surprisingly flat =\\

[ejoslin]

1. Zevran -- the direction it went in was completely unexpected. It was the closest thing to a fairy tale romance ending for me.
2. Alistair -- I'll admit it, he broke my heart. Beautifully written and almost always tragic without spoilers.
3. Fenris -- I would have liked it more had there not been that three year angst gap which struck me as completely weird and more than a little creepy on Hawke's part (after you dump me I'll of course wait years hoping you change your mind). But aside from that, very sweet.
4. Anders -- This romance evoked the strongest negative emotions I have ever felt in a video game. After he moved in (after that bizarre three year gap as well), and it became very clear that he was completely nuts, I wanted my Hawke to break up with him and get him out of the house, and I could not. This will sound a bit crazy on my part, but while the other romances I listed made me feel warm and fuzzy, this one made me feel uncomfortable and stalked. It was a relief to kill him.
5. Leliana -- this romance was completely accidental and because of various bugs, not only were a lot of her romance dialogs crazy sounding, but her not accepting breakups made her seem as crazy and creepy as Anders.  I didn't have the strong negative reactions that I did for Anders, but that's because the romance in the beginning didn't strike the same kind of chords.  And since I didn't have any feelings at all, really, I had to rank it lower than Anders.

The other romances I didn't do to completion.

[mp911]

zevran : loved his optimistic and amoral view of life
anders : part of the da2 story
leliana : great story, very supportive
isabella ; naughty girl but in a nice way
didn't try the other, and found alistair to be boring (he's best as your fellow grey warden pal)

[AnImpossibleGirl]

1. Alistair: IMO he is the best NPC ever.

Oh...there were others?

I did not see any romance in DA2...because Sebastian didn't really count.

[Endurium]

My list will be short because I don't romance everyone.

1. Leliana - most of my games are good-aligned so she's good for support and her romance is pleasant. I run with a mod that fixes one or more of her conversations.

2. Merrill (non-rivalry) - reminds me a bit of 1800s women in a bad way; prefer Leliana's strength. However, after seeing an earlier comment about Merrill with rivalry, I'm curious to try that.

3. Morrigan - I just can't enjoy her character and I tend to roll DPS magi so she is usually parked in camp. However she's easy to talk up so I'm giving her list space for the convenience she provides. That said, I probably won't romance her again.

1. Zevran. It's hard for me *not* to romance that elf. My favorite digital romance of ever. (Which is why I sob when he doesn't remember my Warden in DA2!)
2. Isabella. My favorite character in DA2. She's funny and delightful as a friend, but so heart-melting as a romance.
3. Alistair. I always romance him when I play a Mage. There's something about the Mage-Templar forbidden love that I find irresistible.
4. Anders. My first DA2 romance because of his "I'll only hurt you" line. So I was all, "okay I'll bite". My Girl Hawke saw it all coming (I still am amazed that people were surprised at what happened, but that's cool!) and although she couldn't kill him (she was *not* going to make him a martyr!), she made him walk. I really like that particular Hawke play through.
5. Fenris. Romancing him made me just want to make all his hurt go away.
6. Leliana. Totally changed my view of that character after I romanced her. Now I *definitely* think she's crazy!
7. Aveline. (Yes, I'm adding Aveline!) I *totally* love the fact that you can have your Hawke have a big fat crush on her and she is just SO not into you! My absolute favorite DA2 play through is my Boy Hawke who got his heart broken by Aveline which led him into the arms of Isabella, where he found his true love.

I was unable to finish my Merrill romance. Something about it just ooged me out. I'll try it again and see if I can figure out what it is.

I didn't care for the Sebastian romance. I like the character well enough, but the romance just didn't have any real substance for me.

I am just starting a Morrigan romance play through. I haven't done it yet, because I prefer playing female characters. But it was so touching when I gained her friendship the first time that I'm really looking forward to it.
