Exactly! French are tough, passionate people in history who practically made revolution popular, I must admit while I don't expect any historical accuracy from a game not based on reality, some part of me wants French Revolutionaries. No better point in history was a revolution more needed but so dangerous, and that it takes place during all these revolutions in Orlais, some part of me wants the French Revolution, can't help it XD

Sigh... poor Cole. 

Yay. One more Cole Fan.
His chaotic good character was so fresh and perfectly beautiful.
I love the scene in episode 3.15, where Cole tries to find the connection to Leo and the father of the sisters in the basement.

I don't find anything about Cole attractive, but Anders was blond, skinny and scruffy. His torso had a weird cilinder shape, but his arms were twigs compared to Hawke's.

Anders had an amazing bone structure, his jaw specifically.  He's not my cup o' tea as far as LI's go (I love his Act 2 arc, but he gets very manipulative in Act 3 and makes me uncomfortable) but I can't argue against his looks.

I think it's ridiculous that we haven't had a brunette love interest yet.  Zevran, Alistair, Anders = blondes; Fenris = white-haired.  Cole is blonde & so is Cullen, so that continues the trend if they're both LIs.  It's not a huge deal as I like either/or, but the lack of a dark haired man at this point has become somewhat glaring.

PS I love the idea of Evan Peters as a model for Cole.  His roles in American Horror Story always had him looking sad & crazed, so it's a perfect fit.

This. Seriously. I might actually shriek, which usually alarms my husband.

I assumed (if the leaked survey is anything to go by) that Cole wouldn't be a romance option, though my assumption is based on guesses and nothing more. From what very little I read or saw (and assuming any of that was actually accurate), I figured that Cullen and the magister Dorian were the most likely romance options.

But like I said, take all of that with a grain of salt. It's just my opinion, and based on hearsay and rumor, at that.

That was my assumptiont, too. Still, I would totally squee with delight if Cole were in fact a LI. Since I'm pretty sure I won't be able to make a cute character (as opposed to gruff and manly, classic male human BW CC creation), then I'd sure love to romance one! And Cole sounds adorable (if deadly lol).

In real life I'm into brunets and not blonds, but the lack of brunets in the DA games doesn't bother me because I don't really have to be attracted to my character's LI (in fact I never am), but I can undersatnd the frustration.

Yep that's what Elias said. They've all been blond/fair-haired thus far.

[Battlebloodmage]

In interested in romancing the middle-aged Grey Warden. He has dark haired and older, too. He wouldn't fit the typical LIs we have for Bioware, so I really doubt he's a LI. Although if Cullen is a LI, my canon file would probably be him, but it would be nice to have alternative playthrough with other LIs.

I know  Even though the median age here on the BSN tends to run higher than I'd expect... I think most who play the game are young and would find a man in his 40s to be "old."

Sebastian was brunet, but he doesn't count for obvious reasons. Not only was he not s/s available (Hey, BW, where was our gay prince or lesbian princess, hmmm?) but I'd hardly call his "romance" a, well, romance.

Nothing wrong with chaste romances. It was actually something different and I applaud them for putting it in. It was just as intimate as a more sexual romance.

Chasity marriage, what a rip-off. 

I really want a royal LI. I haven't played a game where you can romance a prince as a S/S yet. It just seems like something that hasn't been done before.

 You might not, but there are people who would, and they get awfully sick of seeing "lol that wasn't a romance, there wasn't any sex!"  As though the entire point of a romance is sex.  Romance has to do with a lot of things besides sex; you can screw Jethann, but that doesn't make him a romance.  You can't screw Sebastian, but that doesn't make him not a romance.  The fact that he is literally the only LI who can canonly marry Hawke should put that idea paid.

Might not be what you would want, but that doesn't mean you should **** on the whole idea.

I've actually been curious about his romance for awhile, but I'll never complete it, because I'll never be able to bring myself to kill Anders.

Though, in practise, I concur with Battlebloodmage. While a romance doesn't have to be about sex, or have sex be the focus, I'm of the opinion that it's a natural part of most relationships and feels empty (for me) when left out.

Anyway, on topic: I'd probably romance the Grey Warden, too. Especially with a male character. I think the dynamic could be really interesting.

Well yeah, his organisation is called the Gay Wardens for a reason, no? =)

[Tootles FTW]

I would do a Sebastian-romance if he acknowledged it at the end of the game when you're at the Gallows doing the "final chats", but all I've seen is the standard dialogue with the usual "If only we had met at another time, Hawke...but no matter" that he says to any FemHawke, romanced or not.  He gets added lines in the DLCs if you romance him, though (at least Bethanny asks him about it - unsure if Carver does) which is a nice touch.  ...I could never do the Friendship "chaste" romance, however - Rivalry/Prince of Starkhaven option all the way. 

Yea, I mentioned this before about Cole but I couldn't see him being a LI as he appeared in Asunder.  And though I really want to meet a Tevinter magister who wasn't a complete ****-hat, I kinda want the rumored companion to be a snarky, elitist jerk that we can torment mercilessly (plus sexytimes ).

The idea that a romance has to have sex to be a romance is rather unfortunate... and narrow-minded. Asexual people exist and they struggle to be accepted and understood just like anyone else in this thread.

Romance, regardless of one's sexual orientation (or lackthereof), does not need sex.  There's such a thing as a chaste romance, after all.

Now now, no one is putting down asexual people or any sort of person whatsoever! I certainly have not given any indication of my own sexuality or what I personally like in a relationship. When I talk about these potential LIs I'm talking about what I'd like to see in the story, for my character And in my fictional romances, I like romance and intimacy, and that includes sex, although not explicit... cause porn/erotica is just not my cup of tea. I'm more of a fade to back kind of girl. It's not exactly out of prudishness; more like I'm older now, and have read/written hundreds of sex scenes so it's like, been there done that.

[CuriousArtemis]

So please, nobody feel sidelined or dissed. We are all friends here 8D

It's okay to criticize the Sebastian romance as something you don't like; just don't criticize real people and their sexualities (duh).

While I did find the new movie to have a little too much singing *ducks flying rotten tomatoes* I have always been fascinated by the French Revolution, as awful as it was... but in fiction, revolutions are great things to become immersed in! Although I often find that my PC isn't particularly interesed in either side; I had to create a Nord in Skyrim to actually care about the revolution there... my two elves could give a crap lol

[Battlebloodmage]

Geez, people are really overreacting here. It's fine if there are asexual people, I didn't even attack them. I was speaking mainly about the Sebastian's romance. He's not asexual at all and far from it, and the reason he wants a chaste marriage has nothing to do with being asexual.

I care about the storytelling part of the storyline and what the chaste relationship meant for my character. I don't care about the sex scene, but the narrative aspect of the relationship. It just seems like a very unfulfilled life specifically for my character. That is why I'm very icky toward a tragic romance as well. I usually prefer happy endings for my characters, and certain aspects of the romance such as a sexless marriage would interfere with my headcanon.
