It's interesting how the most stable, dependable characters of the group are unavailable to any Hawke.
It seems like a deliberate attempt to make us mingle with the more neurotic elements of the story. That way they can have it all blow up in our faces for the big dramatic finale.
As if we didn't see what a mess it all is to begin with...
And the Arishok...
I reget not a damned thing
Charade, Bethany, Aveline, Grace, the guy in the Black Emporium, and... oh yeah, Keeper Marethari.
What?
The Arishok. Not even close.
- Athletic
- Powerful
- Always provides interesting, intelligent conversation
- THOSE EYES
- DAT VOICE
- DEM ABS
I KILLED THE SEX GOD OF DA2. WHAT HAVE I DONE?!
Charade, Bethany, Aveline, Grace, the guy in the Black Emporium, and... oh yeah, Keeper Marethari.
What?
You're really not my type...
You're really not my type...
Lol I really like using this line during this quest.
My first pick would be Merril, but I'd like to see a female Qunari
Varric: Smart, sarcastic, charming, and he makes me laugh. And the chest hair.
Aveline: Smart, strong, sensible, uniquely pretty.
Cullen: It's, well, Cullen. I've had a mad crush on him since DAO, particularly because of using the Cullen Romance Scenes mod. Makes me melt every time. I will definitely be trying his romance in DAI.
Seamus Dumar: He actually seems like a reasonably sensible guy. He uses his mind to really look at the Qunari and what they believe, rather than blindly following the masses and their mob mentality.
The Arishok: Okay, I'm not physically attracted to him except for his mad muscles (I prefer Sten's look), but I love his intelligence and conversations. I always earn his respect every time, and I despise killing him, but I refuse to hand Isabela over to him.
Seneschal Bran because I think there would be a lot of hilarity involved.
Varric because... come on! It's Varric!
The Arishok because that would have been super interesting to play out in the story.
Well, the hazard with Seneschal Bran is that you'll have to fight Serendipity for him. That scene in MOTA cracks me up every time. 
- Seamus Dumar
- If Orana would have been a man then I would have made him my male servant and that man I would have wanted to romance.
Bethany, but *not* by Hawke. That would be f-cking disturbing. You never go full Targaryen! 
But Bethany as a potential L.I. for the Inquisitor in DA:I? Sure.
Bethany, but *not* by Hawke. That would be f-cking disturbing. You never go full Targaryen!
But Bethany as a potential L.I. for the Inquisitor in DA:I? Sure.
Then what about going full Lannister? 
Bethany, but *not* by Hawke. That would be f-cking disturbing. You never go full Targaryen!

Agreed 100% 
Bethany is lovely, but even if the blood relations were removed, I think I'd pass. Just too pure of heart.
Her thing for SeaBass (the Vael kid) is very fitting, and yet it also exemplifies why I wouldn't go there.
Heh, SeaBass. I wish we could call him that in the game.
Arianni, if you'd believe it. That's right, Feynriel's mother.
There's actually some reasoning behind it, both in-game and meta.
In game, when I played my 'canon' Hawke, one of the things I rolled for him as a quirk/redeeming character trait was that he was not only devoid of elven prejudice, but elves were his 'thing.' He didn't care about Dalish customs or culture or history, per see, but he found them more attractive (and, possibly as a result, was willing to give them more consideration than others).
Arianni was a number of things he found worthy of interest- she was devoted to her family (her child), she was knowledgeable and respectful to others, and she was willing to take initiative to try and resolve her problems to the limits of her ability before asking for help. She basically hit it off with him just by being a decent mother, which he found respectable, and the fact that she was a single mother trying to take care of her child? Well, in my headcanon the fact that he knew/believed she would do anything he asked to save her child is the reason he would never ask anything of her. The fact that Feynriel looked up to Hawke was just icing on the non-existent wedding cake.
Which is where the meta- perspective comes in: I think a Bioware romance with a mature, single parent could be interesting in its own right. It brings up a number of themes and ideas that generally aren't touched on: it passes on young/first love for a partner who, for one reason or another, has either never had it or already seen it go by. It brings a partner's family, especially a child's concerns/perspectives, into play. It directly addresses the prospect of the protagonist entering into a family, rather than having babies ever after be somewhere off in the future.
Single mother, or single father- take your pick. I think it could be quite interesting.

That could work. I'd never do it myself, but Arianni is one of my favorite characters.
Defo Tallis just because of Felicia Day
