I have to admit, this is the first time I've ever been bummed about a romance option announcement before actually playing the game. I was really hoping Dorian would be a female romance option. After reading his blurb, I thought, "here is a guy that will be fun to bring around" and I tend to romance the companions I like to have around. (I'm nothing if not predictable in the romance category). Being a female, I like to play females, so I probably won't get around to seeing his romance arc. That is, unless there is some achievement to be had and then the annoying, rabid achievement nutter in me comes out and everyone gets romanced. Achievement unlocked - and then I feel ashamed of my illogical need for a pretty icon.
I'm still holding out some hope for Varric. Best friends are my favorite romances and he would have to be doing some pretty horrible stuff to get me to not like him anymore. I can't picture that happening. (oh, dang. I really hope that doesn't happen.)
