I can't see Iron Bull either since I don't believe the average female player would be interested in romancing a giant bull guy.  I'd actually place money on Varric before I placed it on Iron Bull or the old grey warden and that's pretty much just because Varric's history in the franchise already.

See, while I wouldn't discount Varric (and he obviously is my own preference) I wouldn't rule out Iron Bull.  I think quite a lot of female players would want to romance him.

Exactly.  Dorian confirmed as one of non-companions from leak now.

Alright, you heard him. Ladies and gentleman, it has been confirmed from on high. Dorian is no longer a companion. So mote it be!!!!!

Seems legit.  [Forgets he ever heard the name Dorian]

@Silfren - What do you think of the ratio of humans?  Does it seem like they'd be favored, given these limitations?

Varric is sane and sweet , and oh fun and loyal and romantic deep down...he also has chest hair.
I mean the Iron Bull probably name himself Iron Bull...I'm not sure he's a poet or a sweetheart.

If the choice comes down to Varric and Iron Bull, I'm SO putting in my vote for Varric.  If it were actually to come down to those two, I think the popular dwarf would definitely be a safer bet than the unknown.

See, I just don't know... the Qunari are exotic.  People have been asking for this one.  There's drama inherent in the idea of a Tal-Vashoth romance... but then Varric has some kind of secret regarding Bianca, and he's already well known and has a following.  I can't decide.

I will totally be over that Iron Bull. Give him to me!!!!!!!:devil:

Varric aside, I would totally be all over that female Qunari from the concept art.

Ah, but he is Tal-Vashoth! Who knows what his personality is like?

More importantly he has NO beard!  Only sane damn dwarf in Thedas.

If that's so, hopefully there's still a male elf in this roster. Or a dwarf. Or Qunari.

My racist elf Inquisitor ain't got time for no blonde human dudes. :S

Well , Sten already had the qunari who's a softie role.
So I expect the Iron Bull will be the qunari rebel who doesn't care about kitten.

What about Iron Bull?  From what I'm seeing there's some noticeable interest in being able to romance him.  Don't know anything about this Dorian character.

Same situation as Varric, unfortunately.  IMO, humans, or even elves to some extent, are a safer bet.  There just aren't enough romances to go around.  I forsee Varric and Iron Bull battling for the 3rd slot if we have 3 male LIs.  Otherwise, 2 humans.

Of course, this is even assuming Cullen is in the game.  If he is, there's no way I'd bet against him as an LI.  If not... well, that changes things considerably.

I really don't get how this "safer bet" logic works... Giant space raptor with half a face? "He's gonna be a hit!" (And he was). Charming, charismatic dwarf with awesome chest hair? "No one will ever go for that, back to the drawing board."

This is pretty much why I say Varric has a better chance if they do go with 3 LI's.  Varric already has a popular following, so it'd be easier to go with him after the two usual LI's are taken care of.

Huh?  I said that humans are a safer bet than other races if we only have 2 LIs...  I wasn't comparing Iron Bull and Varric's chances.  In fact, I think they are neck and neck, but only if there's a third option.  I don't see either of them taking the place of humans...

@Silfren - What do you think of the ratio of humans?  Does it seem like they'd be favored, given these limitations?

Couldn't say. Kind of hard to see trends with just the two games to go by.  But it does look like Bioware doesn't think players would be interested in dwarf romances.  (I would wonder if there was an issue with the graphics, as I do remember there being some visual hiccups in Origins between a dwarf Warden and their LI, but this wouldn't be an issue if the PC was a dwarf romancing a dwarven LI, so I dunno). 

I'd have expected the number of LIs to be the usual four, but some people seem to expect as many as six.  I'm not sure where that's coming from, but if there are six, I...well, I don't know how it would be handled.  It would be NICE to see them break down the numbers equally: a male and female LI for each race.  But that would exclude Iron Bull automatically, by sticking with the three base races.

I agree that if Cullen is a companion, there's like a 99.99% chance of his being an LI.  I think the same is almost certainly true of Cassandra.  If four LIs, there's two slots taken up right there.  Hmmm.  I don't know anything about Dorian, but I think it would be a missed opportunity to not have the chance to romance a Tevinter character. 

Bah.  The more I consider it the less I'm sure about anything beyond Cullen himself.

He would more or less be an anti-Fenris. Beyond Cullen, I hoped to have the male LIs kind of stay outside the dimensions of the war.

Just gonna throw my opinion in on the DA2 bi-romances thing... I didn't have problem with EVERYONE being Bi, it was moreso WHY, for me. Anders and Isabella had reasons/a backstory. Fenris you could assume. But Merril? I dunno, for me, it just felt weird her being bi. I actually preferred her with a female Hawke...

As for DA:I romances... Well, as stated before (even with different writers) ME2 ans 3 had HEAPS of romance-ables. And with 9 confirmed, possinle companions, i'm sure we could manage more than 4 L.I's in DA:I.

I have 6 characters in both Origins and 2, each with different views and sexualities, so having the romances be more like ME-styles would suit me very muchly.

And as a Gaymer, give me a sexy elf guy for my Bloodmage to badoink-a-doink, and i'll be doubley happy

As long as he isn't a carbon copy of or the anti-Fenris, I can agree with that, as a fellow Gaymer.

So....HOW bout that Dorian Pavus guy? He seems nice.

Who?

I hope this is just feigning ignorance and not a hint that he's no longer in the game 

(despite David's warning about the potential for disappointment when reading the early info, I really liked that character concept)

[Wulfram]

The Big Guy is almost never a romance option, even when they're not a Wookiee or a Krogan, I don't expect that to change with Iron Bull.

[TurretSyndrome]

What happened to those days when such things are determined after the narrative is set, and characters personalities have been fully determined?

Anyway, hopefully this time, characters are going to be more realistic than in DA 2, especially when it comes to relationships. Having everybody on the team as a bisexual is such a cheap way to tackle the underlying problems. I'd rather see myself being turned down by a character because I'm "not their type", than everybody behaving like they want a piece of me.

I really want to see characters denying any sort of romance again(like Sten), I want them to turn down the protagonist because he/she is ******/Heterosexual. I want them to be proper life like characters, not player-slaves.

Tired of seeing all the "player preference" which is doing nothing but turning the characters into puppets. "I don't want my companions to leave me, even if they hate me" "I don't want my characters to decline my love letter", ugh...

[90s Kai]

 In all honesty I would like to have LI's don't fit the "mold" of past DA games. I want something unique and fresh!

I really, really want to see Varric as a romance option. For one we haven't had a Dwarf romance and two he fits the bill of being a caring lover, IMO. 

And I would love love love! to see Iron Bull as an LI. Big and muscular, that's how I like  'em. But in all seriousness, I would like to have a Tal-Vashoth nd a Dwarf as LI's because I am weary of blonde human dudes, and elves. Not that I don't like that mind you, it's just that I need something different. And those two would be a breath of fresh air.

I will put the Grey Warden as a honorable mention. Because in all fairness he is tall, ripped and ohmygod.

[Thomas Andresen]

Going by who's already actually confirmed to be companions.

Not Varric.
