DAI Cullen, who as I said, I tend to separate from previous Cullen because....yeah, would be pretty much the best type of boyfriend iRL. Especially with a dog. 
But in game, I just....Solas was more charming, Cassandra was straight, Josie is too much like me, Bull isn't my type, Sera was too difficult with an elf...Cullen is sweet and I just don't know if it was my previous dislike of Cullen, the character I was playing, or what, but I just couldn't.
Sometimes characters just get friendzoned, and there's no particular reason for it. Zevran got friendzoned in my Amell's playthrough, because I was already pretty far into the Alistair romance. I don't think my Amell would have been better with one or the other; it was just luck of the draw for which guy met her first.
I am now at the point in the thread when the developer liner notes was discovered. Oh lordy, I am enjoying all the posts. I am enjoying the Loghain comparisons. FYI, in my original DAO PT, I had him killed because I was romancing Alistair and was seeing events from the Warden's point of view. So Loghain to me seemed evil. Years later, through discussion with other people and listening to Loghain's dialogues and party banter, I realised it is more complicated than that. And now, I'm replaying DAO again, I'm actually finding Alistair a bit whiney.
LOL, same. I found it really interesting how my opinion of DA:O shifted when I played it 5 years later. Alistair was a bit whiney, I didn't hate Loghain nearly as much as I remembered, and OMG Wynne. I loved her when DA:O first came out, and when I replayed it I wanted to strangle her.
Mostly I want to apologize to Loghain. He was right about the Orlesians. They 100% suck, and I should have let him go on a murderous rampage through Val Royeaux.
