And I still say it would've been nothing to just include the LIs during the Hawke scenes. Even if it's just on the rooftop scene with Varric. Hawke and the LI have a brief spat about Hawke having to go and the LI having to stay or do something else. It would like just a couple lines from each LI VA.
I would have been sated even with a silent cameo, to be honest. I just wanted to see everyone in the new engine. I now know what my Hawkes look like in a less cartoony art style, but not their love interests, so it makes for some weird mental images when you try to reconcile both. (and also Zevran. still not over that.)
That banter between Varric and Cassandra where he says Hawke's lover will join them once they get Varric's letter whether Hawke likes it or not put this scene in my head like that ending to Advent Children, where you see Aerith and Zack waving goodbye to Cloud - instead of telling me over banter that Hawke's family will join them, show me a small cutscene where Hawke walks off into the sunset and joins two familiar figures off in the distance, waiting for her/him.
I picture my main Hawke joining a pair of smiling Sebastian and Bethany at the end of a road, or my alt Hawke joining a pair of brooding Fenris and Carver and ruffling their hair, and I'm so upset something like this is not in the game.
