I think the potential ruler of one of the Free Marches city-states has got to have a role on a mage / templar war. Sebastian does have a role to play and he should come back

Perhaps let Sebastian haters kill him ?

My Hawke doesn't hate him but he has sworn to kill her BF so she might have to kill him or at least slap some sense into him

[mya11]

For my opinion I don't want Sebastian come back his history is not interesting and so stereotype

i'm glad i'm not the only 1 who really doesn't want sebastian back, though Tasmen i will have that dark broody sexy guy in your sig

Oooh I would take the broody one in a second.  Alas, I am pretty sure he won't be in DA3 given things said in the past about hand-waving deaths away.  

[shedevil3001]

i cant kill any of my companions, not in dao or da2, there were 4 that annoyed me to no end in both games, but killing them feels so wrong, these are people your traveling with and pretty much seeing every day, as much as i loved anders even him coming back as a li, its just not what i would want, especially if were not playing as our warden or hawke, i want someone neither have romanced so it doesnt ruin my import saves

Tasmen you just made me pout

He's not just the rightful ruler of Starkhaven though - He's a dedicated Chantry Brother, or at least he was. His affiliation with the Chantry makes him an even more valuable asset-..

Oh god, I'll stop. Seriously, I'll stop. No sense clogging up a romance thread with my insanity - It's all over on the Sebastian thread anyway, you'd think I'd have gotten it out of my system by now.

Regardless of if Sebastian returns or not - I'd like to see my archetype, or some variation on it, in a future title, I think the potential in a romance such as that is quite awesome.

My ideal man:

[Renmiri1]

mine

[shedevil3001]

oooooooooooooooooh johnny depp, now theres a hot man, i'd go for him any time

[sylvanaerie]

I don't have any particular character or even archtype in mind. I wouldn't even mind someone a bit eccentric, but OMFG no more batsh*t insane bastards please, Bioware. And someone able to laugh at himself. Both Anders and Fenris were over the top in the drama department. I adored Alistair's romance (it was my favorite), but I don't want another Alistair.

I'm afraid Cullen will end up being like Sebastian if he's picked for a LI and I will grow to hate him, so I don't even ask that.

Just please no more batsh*t insane romances. Or else make the girls Bisexual because TBH the only romances i really found to my liking in DA2 were the ladies, but I didn't want to play Male Hawkes all the time.

[Renmiri1]

The girls on DA2 were bisexual.

And Anders was pretty romantic for a insane guy

see now i didn't see him as insane, i saw him as a mage who was pushed too far and rebelled, but yeah he was quite romantic, he wasn't my first choice of li's but i'm glad i tried him out

[RedWulfi]

Loki for LI

I dunno, the "I would drown us in blood" line was very creepy, so I'm on the fence about romantic/ obsessed, especially when you don't romance him, then the more "obsessed" side comes out. 

But I played Awakening and I LOVED the Awakening companions more than the DAO ones, so I could see the concept of a "hardened" Anders, especially after all the crap he goes through afterwards.

[shedevil3001]

my list of 5 men i'd love as li's goes as follows

1. nathaniel howe
2. cullen
3. carver
4. bann teagan
5. fergus cousland

seriously any of those and i will die happy

[Felya87]

I'd like to have an Ash Warrior in my party. even like LI.
the kind of guy you have to punch to make him resonable, and than he became attracted by the girl who smash him.
I'd like to see that.

Yes, a LI attracted to your badassery instead of how agreeable you are.

I think the rivalmance was a way to avoid having to agree with everything someone says and lock you out of tonsil hockey, but I don't think it should have been a "get Anders to fight with Templars" or "have Fenris stick around and tolerate you owning a slave" card, like a jedi mind trick.

This might not be a popular idea, but I would love it if we have a love interest that is more difficult/impossible to romance as a friend or a rival.
Like, say we have a love interest who is a dedicated Grey Warden who doesn't want to get involved with anyone because of the Calling. If you go down the friend path, it becomes more and more difficult to begin a romance until the friendship is to a certain level, where he agrees to a casual relationship, but nothing too meaningful. But if you disagree, you go down the rivalry path and his feelings end up coming out more and more...I'm not good at explaining things.
I just think it'd be pretty cool.

[Sylvanpyxie]

I'm not good at explaining things.

I'll give it a shot for you.... What you're basically asking for is:

A character completely against romantic involvement of any kind.

Down the friendship path he finds it easy to ignore his feelings. He's close to you in friendship and that is enough for him to feel content with the remainder of his life, he feels no need to burden you with further involvement as it might mar the connection that you two have already built. If you attempt to push him towards a romantic relationship he declines, regardless of how much you push him, because he believes you are a woman worth much more than he can give.

Down the rivalry path he finds it difficult to keep a reign on his emotions. You push so many of his buttons, in all the wrong ways, get him fired up constantly. There are angry clashes of personality on a regular basis and as you push him further and further towards romantic involvement he finds it almost impossible to keep his emotions in check, eventually succumbing to your relentless emotional onslaught - Falling into a sexual, and possibly romantic, relationship with you. Despite his better judgement.

...Am I about right?

A Bishop (NWN2) styled bad-boy or a tough soldier akin to Vega/Duncan. So tired of whiny guys in BioWare's rpgs (Alistair, Kaidan, Carth, Anders). Make them more manly, especially if they're going to be a f/m option.

Ideally, dark haired and tanned/dark skinned too. Like a male Isabela only more of a womanizer with some charm. Dual daggers or archer for added effect.

Yes! Thank you!

But yeah, I think that would be a fun way to romance someone.

[Sylvanpyxie]

I agree, and I think it's always excellent when people share different approaches to romance, instead of posting a list of names and running off into the sunset. (No offense ladies, or gents)

Again, I agree completely that this entire concept of a...Uh.. Consequential romance?... That you've thought up, would be utterly awesome.

No whiney men

So... a male Morrigan?




(^ I'll settle for him too)

I loves me some Bishop and some Loki. Give me a man who has some twisted ideas about the world due to painful experiences and needs to learn how to trust someone and accept himself for who he is, and I melt like butter on a hot stove. Even more so if he is intelligent enough to have good arguments against what I'm telling him, so that he actually makes me think about what I want to say. 

Man, Bishop would've been so awesome... Gann was incredibly cool, but Bishop would've been that plus a little bit of spicy. That's how I like my dishes--spicy. A romance option who resists you at every turn because love scares him is just... fun. I like the Alistairs of the world as well, but I can't help falling for the really clever guys, and Alistair was no dim bulb but he wasn't a genius either. 

So, yes... a female Morrigan. Someone who makes you really think, forces you to be clever if you want to help them feel a new way, think a new way. Someone you can deeply respect as well as romance.

Damn, I almost understand where the "bring back Morrigan!" crowd is coming from after saying that, however unrealistic I think that idea is.

I really want Nathaniel Howe. No matter how completely unlikely it is. And Carver. I know, I know, weird. But hey--my PC in DA3 won't be related to him at all! 

Carver would be AMAZING to have around, especially if he changed for the better. But I don't know if the tension would be there if you're not Mage!Hawke, and there are too many tricky variables for me to believe we have hope of that.

Now, Cullen, on the other hand...

I've got an archetype written up on Page 1, but it didn't really have a great deal of detail to it, there was a thread recently about "New Companions" and I put a great deal more thought into my post on there, so I feel the need to post it here, as well, because it's simply so much more in-depth on what I'd like to see:

Sylvanpyxie (New Companions Thread (Editted)):

I'd like to have a Male Human companion that is deceptively charming, arrogant, a bit of a scoundrel and a "player" on the outside.. but a complete and utter wreck on the inside, a man that has been through some immense trauma and has been completely broken as a result.

A man that is hiding a tragedy that has completely consumed him, but it's consumed so much of who he was and been buried so deep, left so much hatred and anger behind, that he's incapable of even registering it as a problem.

He's so incapable of coping with his issues that he hides behind a facade of false smiles and charming misdirection - A mask that he's been living behind for so long that it's become impossible for him to deal with his inner turmoil.

Underneath the mask of deceptive happiness and humorous distractions, there's bitterness, burning hatred and impotent rage. So much negative emotion just twisted up inside of him that he barely has any scrap of humanity left inside, so completely broken that he has no idea how to fix himself and move on.

His personality would be, as I said, outwardly deceptive - Charming and funny and arrogant - but he would be prone to outbursts of pure rage if he's confronted with his personal problems, or something particularly brutal occurs that he disagree with. Not the kind of character that would break down and cry, but the kind of character that would have violent outbursts and scream in your face.

His general outlook on the world would likely be one of contempt - Seeing all the weakness and incompetence may remind him of his own failings - but he would see the pleasures to be had in it also. Drink, gambling, women(and men?). He would have little to no honour, no sense of duty or responsibility.

Despite his self-loathing and bitterness - He would have a relatively kind heart and, should the need arise, he would protect the innocent or defenseless. He would disapprove of generally exploiting the weak, acts of random, needless violence would enrage him and wanton slaughter would make him likely to kill you.

He would approve of manipulations, charm, wit and a generally ruckus attitude. He would completely support you for saving the lives of defenseless innocents and smaller acts of random kindness(like sparing a few coins to someone who's in a tight spot). Generally helping the weak or defenseless would put you in his good books.

Edit bonus for the Love Interest thread: General appearance would be dishevelled. Hardy face, but not weathered, a little rough around the edges and unkempt. Perhaps a bit of stubble and relatively unkempt hair, perhaps red or brunette, something on the darker end of the colour palette. Skin would... Hopefully, be a nice olive tone, perhaps mildly tanned. (Lighter than Isabela's but darker than Alistair's)

The over-all character arc would likely be either helping him to accept his problems and move past them, leading him to become a genuinely good person who may one day find some semblance of peace or happiness. He would eventually become the mask that he hid behind - Charming, fun, happy.

Or you could encourage the self-destructive nature, which would obviously lead him to become a twisted wreck, completely without humanity. Someone that cares little to nothing for any other human being, completely despises humanity and blames the entire world for his own personal problems. (Please note: If romanced down this particular path it would likely be an extremely unhealthy relationship, for both parties involved, with much yelling, screaming and throwing of heavy objects.)

Or, of course, you could completely ignore him.

It was posted as a general archetype in the "New Companions" thread, but I've editted it into what I would expect from the archetype as a romance. It's a much more refined post and explains, in practically every detail, exactly what I would like to see in a Love Interest for a future title Dragon Age title.

Sorry the post is so long. Sorry it's information is pretty much copy pasted from my post on another thread. Sorry I'm sharing so much opinion.... Sorry I keep apologizing....

*Ahem* Now that I have killed you all with words, I will return to my cave. *Runs off*
