May I say that I don't really get this "sister" impulse that keeps people from romancing certain LIs? Maybe it's because I have a younger sister, and she's never needed my protection.
It's not about protection, really. I find romantic relationships between former childhood friends equally creepy. If I can picture my character doing the older brother head rub to a female character, I likely won't be able to have them elope.
Disclaimer: I don't have any sisters.

I... can vaguely understand where you're coming from, but don't entirely comprehend the creepiness as long as the relationship isn't badly forced.

For me, it's less of a 'sisterly' thing- I'd probably be protecting other people from MY sister 
It's more of a feeling of 'taking advantage' of dependent/submissive/inexperienced-seeming personalities. My personal tastes run to people with very strong personalities, who are independent, because if I'm honest I'd probably walk all over anyone who let me and that would be an awful thing to do to someone. So the little bit of myself that gets projected in when I play games, even when attempting to play a personality very different to my own is always completely put off by 'innocent' available LI's.
But I think a lot of it has to do with personal taste, there are a lot of people who prefer to be protective and have people depend on them, and they might see the stronger characters as more 'family' and the gentler ones as romance material. Lots of people in the world
Please don't take any specifics I say as confirmation of any particular acts. Just because I actually don't know what, specifically, is shown in all (or really any) of the final/hardened versions of these cinematics (it's not a part of my job, so I'd have to actively go hunting for the scenes in my own time - although QA as a whole is starting to spend more and more time just "in the game" but since this isn't my first rodeo, I find myself coordinating and prioritizing work and helping deal with the best place for specific requests to go based on the request).
Thank you Allan, we appreciate the effort and work you sers are doing.
In the meantime, please can we have the Chart you may or may not have promissed us?
Even if it isn't in there it would be nice to talk about, like in DA2 at the end if you romanced Anders he talks about living in a world where yours and his children can grow up free, and Merrill talks about kids too if you romance her with Male Hawke don't she? There was one example in NWN2 that I liked where if you rescued some kids in a port town depending on how you handled them the druid follower (her name is slipping my mind right now) may say you handled the kids well and asks if you plan on having a family someday since you seem good with children. Didn't serve much purpose but it was a nice bit of conversation.
But I'm not holding my breath for something like that to be in the game though I think it would be nice if it was.
When she told me that I said "Was that an offer?" lol
Someone referred to the mount as "Ser Noodle" and made a fun compilation video of assorted animation issues the mount had. Specifically an issue with the legs flopping around a lot while running in a manner than can not be in anyway described as natural. Much laughs.
I've seen some hilarious romance ones too, where [REDACTED] goes to [REDACTED] with [REDACTED] and the cinematic designer spliced in a humorous sound to call it out!
Its going to be see awesome to [REDACTED] with [REDACTED]. Especially when [REDACTED] and the Inquisitor [REDACTED] before the end game. 
There's a blooper video for Origins? That sounds pretty cool actually

For me, and it may be that I use the term differently, but it has nothing to do with protecting the other person; I just don't like the idea of getting involved with a woman who reminds me too much of my younger sister. That's when it starts getting squick to me.
Man am I glad I've never gotten that kind of vibe from any of the past LIs, though could be because I don't have a little sister and so far I haven't' gotten a little brother vibe from any of the male LIs before, I hope it stays that way. I can only imagine how odd it might feel to notice one of the romanceable characters reminds you a lot of your sibling.
I've never gotten a sibling vibe from an LI or any companion, but I don't really get that from anyone. Maybe it's because I'm an only child and didn't even have cousins my age growing up, so I just never developed anything like that sort of relationship before. It's just not something I ever really think about. 
It actually isn't something that's happened for me yet, least not for any video game characters. Happened a couple times in real life I had to turn the girl down because she reminded me too much of my sister, but it hasn't happened yet for any Bioware LI's.
Was worried it might for Sera but it seems that's been avoided.
I don't know if I get so much as a sibling vibe from certain characters, but I do get like this feeling sometimes that the friendship you start building on is too special for a romance, after it gets to a certain point. It happens in reality for me, as well.
I don't get siblings vibes from LIs. I guess one reason is that my native language is not english. I have never thought that relationship which my PC and her LI are building is too special for romance. I always thought that they have finally found what they were looking for 
I don't get the 'friendzone' feelings about people either. There's basically just three categories with me. People who are both physically attractive and that have personalities that I like, which are potential partners. People that are not physically attractive to me, but that have personalities that I like, which are platonic friend potential. Then just people with personalities that I don't like, which will never appeal to me in any way. In addition to not feeling the 'friendzone' thing, I don't relate at all to the hate sex type connections some people develop.
I think people just have so many different views on how they go about romance, depending who you ask. For me personally I have this quirk I believe, because I become attracted to people based on personality rather than looks. I have been attracted to people who most would consider conventionally unattractive many times. And my attraction seems to go one of two ways depending on the way the person clicks with me. I either start wanting to be a very good friend, or I want to start on a more romantic path. I can't really explain how it works... it just happens.

The friendzone is just a way for the person who is attracted to you to describe situation #2 (the bolded one).
The Friendzone is usually a harmless way to refer to one way attraction, but can be a horrible thing, like with Isla Vista. Liking a person and "doing nice things" doesn't punch a frequent user card like they have at sub shops where "5 NICE DEEDS AND YOUR NEXT SEX (1) FREE!"

I don't think friendzoning was the horrible thing in that example. I think the 'killing spree' would be the horrible thing.
His reasoning behind it, though, was that men are being used and that women only "choose" to give sex to a select few, meaning most men wind up with none, so he shot people up. True, the action was horrible, but the mindset behind it was equally wrong.
To be clear- nothing wrong with not being attracted to a person, but there is something wrong with someone somehow feeling other people owe you love/ sex.

I did find it, yes. I just couldn't believe I hadn't seen it before! But thank you anyway for the link
