i would like story dlc like Corinfeus or especially like Awakening rather that what we have with Javic and Sebastian
but after many news about DAi i would be ok for "companions dlc" if they have a good-interesting characters in Inquisitor party and they would be new romance option for non-shem and anti Orlais/OrlaisChantry Inquisitors
Wait a minute.... when did companion dlc become a good thing?
PS: Allan already stated in this thread that the chances of having a companion DLC are slim (not impossible though): http://forum.bioware...-sad/?bioware=1
We will not have Day One DLC. While I couldn't speak definitively I would bet large sums of money against there being companion DLC, since stuff like that is best served as Day One DLC (due to prerelease hooks that go in as well as the nature of companions being most interesting if available for the whole game).
day one dlc we will not after ME3 but after some time we maybe will have some "companions dlc" and normal-large dlc
No companion or character DLC. Of any kind.
Anyway not all the romances have even been revealed.
I could live with that being the first story expasion, since boxox gets the first one first.
I am sort of disappointed, myself. The dragon age game with 8 love interests (which is quite a bit) is the first bioware game to have 0 who I would date. Of course this is based off personal preference and nobody's fault.
But how would you feel if a dlc unlocked a new area, maybe where two npc's, perhaps new captains of the inquisition, stayed. (One male and one female) they wouldn't be too important to the overall plot, but could be nice romance options.
Eight love interests is a lot. Maybe you should wait and meet the characters first before you decide that none of them is "dating material" 
. I think there are pros and cons of a romance DLC as GodModeAlpha has pointed out. I'm not a huge fan of day 1 DLCs, so I'm grateful that they don't go down this road. But a romance DLC could work, of course. As we have seen, Sebastian and Shale were both DLCs. However, I wouldn't be very interested in spending money on a companion (romanceable or not) that isn't important to the overall plot. To be honest, it sounds a bit boring. And I believe that one reason why the romances work is because of the drama that is surrounding them. The drama on the other hand is often tight to the main plot.
Personally, I would prefere a story DLC where we can drag our old companions along. Since companion/romance DLC will most likely not happen, I really think to you should give the characters in DAI a chance. We have already got so many companions and three advisors on top of that. Surely you will find someone interesting...

Well, I will eventually romance all of them. But for my main profile which is based on me, I have 3 choices it seems. Of course I could change my mind, but with the interviews and so many trailers and Cassandra even having a movie, usually when there is this much information I wouldn't.Eight love interests is a lot.

I would prefer Bioware go in a different direction with DLCs, since it seems the vanilla game has already invested more than enough in options for the player. 8 is a substantial number. There's no need for more.
DLC should focus on new regions, plots, etc.
If a team is going to spend time and resources on something and those resources are limited I would rather have outfits than a romance companion, especially since we have not met any of them yet. I'd rather have story or world expansion,; I'd rather see Dorian in Tevinter pre game; there are so many more possibilities that open the world and canon. Really what I hear people saying wen they say they don't like the romance options is, "I don't like the character models" since we know very little else about them. I suggest playing the game first and then complaining. Maybe Bioware will make you some sexy skins for the character models instead of a tacked on camp follower to be an inquisitor's sex toy.
I'm fine if they make Romance & Friends DLCs, where more content is added onto existing base-game companions and advisers, as well as more content for friendship paths with them, and offering new romance paths onto existing companions that were not LIs in the base game. Ex: Varric gets a romance path added onto him that wasn't in the base game. etc.
While I'd welcome Companion DLCs in general, provided they have the same word count and content and interactivity with existing companions etc, I'm not fond of adding new NPCs for romances.

Plus I am not saying it would necessarily be a full companion, or even an advisor. Just someone who hangs out around the camp.
If it makes people mad just don't buy it. Look information up about it online.
I know. But this is exactly the reason why I wouldn't been keen on having a romance DLC where someone just hangs out around the camp. It doesn't sound very interesting to me. I guess that's why I never played the Samantha Traynor romance in ME. As such, it wouldn't bother me much if there were romance options outside the companion/advisor camp (after the Raptr Q&A that even seems to be possible now). The thing is, that you spend money for a DLC and if my romance is someone I can't interact with so often, I'm less willing to spend that money. You asked in the OP how people would feel about a romance DLC with characters that are not tied to the overall plot. I probably wouldn't buy it because of that.
Well, Bioware can't please everyone. Having 8 choices is more than enough for the base game and a small DLC wouldn't do any romance the respect it deserves. Maybe if we got a full fledged expansion with quite a bit of content but I don't see that happening in this current day and age.
If they did a DLC that possibly opened up a new area for exploration and new and interesting characters, I see no reason why it would be wrong to add in some no LIs along with the new content. However, I think that eight options is definately enough and I wouldn't expect such content until quite a while after the initial release.
I love how characters are judged negatively before ever talking to them, just cause of appearances. Gotta love shallowness.

Absolutely not--there would be no way for BioWare to put the same amount of dialogue and time into a DLC romance as the main ones. There are already eight romances, and people you can flirt with outside of the actual romances.
Also, you haven't played the game, so do you know 100% that you really, truly won't want to romance anyone available? Not only that but not all romances are revealed yet.
It could be that even if you don't necessarily find your options sexy appearance-wise, you could get to know them as people and find things that appeal to you about their personalities. Sort of like what happens in the real world when you're looking for someone to date--most of the time, you're not gonna get the attention of a famous model or actor. Instead, it'll be someone you might think is kindasorta attractive, but then you get to know them and your personalities just mesh. In ME2 I was surprised to learn Garrus was a romance option. Had I turned him down solely based on appearance (and it was definitely tempting to do so), I'd have missed out on a really cute romance plot that carried over into ME3. So... don't judge a book by its cover. Even the character blurbs won't tell you everything.
Granted, it's well within your rights to be disappointed this early. At this point, I'm probably going to have a celibate first playthrough, myself, but I think asking for more romances via DLC may be a bit overboard.

To be fair, it's not really shallow to not be interested in someone because of the way they look. Pretty much every relationship is originally based off of physical attraction. It becomes more later of course, but it's really hard to love someone you're not sexually attracted to.

And the funny thing is people don't think it works that way for women...
But actually this isn't true of all people. There's such a thing as asexuals, you know. And, you also don't have to think someone is just a complete knockout in the looks department to be interested in them. Maybe they only look "interesting," maybe they are only a little attractive, but you talk to them and then you find yourself attracted.
Anyway, the only kind of DLC romance add-on I'd be okay with is to expand on the existing romances, or to maybe, MAYBE add one of the existing companions into the romance pot (though I'd rather they not do this since if they aren't a romance, there's probably a good reason for it).
In an expansion, and a romance that is exclusive to that expansion, then sure.

A lot of folks will tell you that they found that after getting to know/like someone, they found that person more physically attractive (even if they didn't actually change appearance). Our opinions of people, and their personalities do have an impact on attractiveness. Which is why I'm waiting to meet the characters in game before judging whether I'm going to find them attractive or not.
On topic, I'd much rather have a story DLC that includes extra romance scenes/dialogue/whatever for you to explore with your LI, but I'm not interested in a DLC that is only a new LI.

I disagree with this actually. I mean, most women are able to pass the "suitably attractive" bar that I have, but the best relationships I have had are the ones that kind of manifested unexpectedly.
Woah wait...when was 8 romances announced? I thought it was 6 O_o?
Its confirmed in Raptr, 8 romances, 4m 4f well.... should be, that wasn't said what genders. But it's Cullen and Cassie straight, Josie bi (Bull heavily inclined to be other bi(race gated), Sera and Dorian gay. 3 are unknown, 2 most likely males (Bull and someone else) and Vivi is most likely and might be race gated herself. Not sure but seems fitting storywise.
I don't want a DLC with a temp romance. Maybe a flirt or fling at best.
