Yeah, no, not okay with "touching" death endings either. I don't care what anyone says about it, I want my happily ever after, thanks.
I think the new mounts sound fantastic! I pre-ordered the deluxe edition (not sure if I'll upgrade to the collector's...guess it depends on the price and goodies), and it comes with a bog unicorn. I'm thinking it's not your standard horned horse...which is kind of a shame, because I would totally prance around Thedas on a sparkly white unicorn. I really want to ride a halla, though! And I really, really want to ride a dragon, but I doubt that'll work out. Maybe next game. 
I have to admit, I love me a good heart wrenching "I died to save you/can't bear the thought of living with out you" tragic romances. Although, I totally and completely understand the wish for happy ever after. Because, tragic, melodramatic romances are not handled very well more often than not. Thane is a HUGE example. The big issue with his romance wasn't because he died, it was because if you romanced him, his death was no different than non romance. It was barley even acknowledged. That was the big complaint and people over looked it as though the thanemancers were just upset he died. That wasn't it at all. We wanted a heartfelt, I loved you, death scene. Not just "commander" being replaced with "sihah", but I digress. Anyways!
I rather have a happy ending than a poorly written tragic one. Though I love me some melodrama.
Anyways. Bog Unicorn! What ever this is. I wants it.
