Well, since I have pretty spesific plans which companion to romance with which Inquisitor.... Reload probably shall be my very good friend. And forums, walkthrough guides etc.
It's not like it hasn't happened before... (though in first case, I never even realised there were a romances in BG2 since I had managed to get Anomen killed/petrified/switched somewhere along the journey. Imagine my surprise when I read about it in internet.)
if cassandra wont have me, ill have cassandra.... tied up in the basement.... she will never leave me again.... thats not weird right?
I don't really like any of the romance options so it shouldn't be a problem for me. I hope that the opposite can occur though. The companion likes me and I get to reject them and I will do it in the most cruel and humiliating way possible or perhaps I'll pretend like I'm not getting the hint.
I think it would be pretty interesting if the romances could fail, as in, they get up and say "you know what, I know you're the Inquisitor but I don't think we'd be good anymore." It'd make them more realistic, and after all, wasn't that the point of the race/gender gating?
Then again, I'm going to romance bull. So, I don't think I'm in any danger of him losing interest unless I force the "OMG u must be monygamous wit me" talk too early.
Just like real-life when I fight with my girlfriend, I will pause, reload and choose the correct dialogue option.
Just a word of warning to those who have said they will switch LI's. if memory serves me it takes more than one act to bring an LI to bloom and I'm thinking it will take more than one act to upset a companion enough to walk. So if it all goes horribly wrong for you there may not be time for a plan B
Inquisition doesn't have "acts" like da2 though, right?
And you can talk to them at your leisure like in Origins (provided you are in relaxed areas like the keep), and in Origins if you had at least one option to start a romance left then right before the final battle you can start talking to someone and do the entire romance before starting the final saving of the city. Since you can go to the keep and talk to the companions whenever you might be able to do the same in inquisition.

DAI dialogues will function like DAO dialogues so no more dialogues affecting your characters personality. It is all about choices and what you think is right and wrong like in DAO ( Voice acting included).
I always consider this possibility,especially when I design my characters prior to the games release.My characters will evolve nevertheless others negatively other possibly,I really like them to grow through their failures and disappointments.Makes the RP experience more realistic and interesting,so yeah bring the drama on!

No it doesn't look like it will have acts as such, but I wouldn't mind betting that there will be certain goals you have to achieve to win over your LI, like personal quests for example and they may be paced to run alongside the storyline.
Although we can theoretically go anywhere and do anything it would be quickly fatal to the party to jump into some areas until we are very high level and these may be some of the places we need to go to complete the romance goals.
For example
Cass will tell you she loves you on a moonlit tower overlooking Redcliffe village after you have recovered her father's shield from the dungeons and have romanced her for at least six meaningful interactions. Or she'll tell you she loves you after six meaningful interactions but can't rest at the thought of her fathers shield in Redcliffe dungeon.
Really unlikely example I'll admit, but you get the idea.
If unlocking the romance is tied to personal quests like DAO and to a lesser extent DA2 it may take some time in game just to be able to go to the places we need to finish those quests.
Here's a thought though will we be able to complete unfinished romances post game?
I'm going to metagame the **** out of Dragon Age Inquisition Romances. That's what.
You know I would actually find it must more interesting if someone you were gunning for could potentially end up disliking you and ending the relationship. A sort of tragic romance thing, I guess, in that Quizzie would be interested in a physical sense (to begin with), as would LI, and there would be serious potential there (intelligence, chemistry, identifying with some similar experiences, etc) but in the end circumstances, choices made and too many contesting differences of opinion would stall it. Perhaps one side (probably Quizzie) would lament on it later ~ 'if things could have been different, he would be in my arms rather then at the end of my blade'.
But I wouldn't want to make a habit of it. I would really like for there to be romance despite quite differing views (not so great that they go against what LI passionately believes in) as a way to illustrate that despite differences the adventure we're both on has allowed us to grow as individuals and see things with an expanding perspective. The notion that often love can overcome all if you're willing to bend a little and overcome challenges it poses because it's worth it.
I'm really hoping on a chance at both of the above, frankly. 
Simple: Waiting for someone to convert the "More Options at the Pearl Mod" from DA:O to DA:I. Oh wait, its Frostbite Engine now. And no Modtools. Oh well. And probably no Console aka Debug Commands.
Well then: Stay Single and Enjoy my Freedom to do what People tend to do with other People, if they wanna have a good time
Just like real-life when I fight with my girlfriend, I will pause, reload and choose the correct dialogue option.
In this case "reload" refers to getting a new girlfriend
I don't have a strong affinity for who I want to romance now though I anticipate that changing when I play. I always play a noble hero first so I should be able to keep everybody, though all the teasing that Vivienne has her own agenda makes me nervous cause she and Varric are the ones I most want to be pals with. sigh sigh
I'd actually really like it if they break off a romance because we've violated some strongly held belief/moral of theirs. I mean, I can't see Sera wanting to get all hot and sweaty with someone who massacres Alienages for giggles.
To be fair, I can't see Sera wanting to get all hot and sweaty with someone who massacres any group, not just the elves.

Pfft! In RL there is no right option. 
There's no chance of Dorian or Iron Bull not liking my sassy mage elfquisitor.
But, if my LI didn't like me, I'd change, in the game.
I imagine some could end badly. Solas is one, as some people think he'll turn on us. Though I hope that isn't the case.
Blackwall is another, with everyone thinking he's near his calling. I think they've mentioned that Dorian's is very moving. I hope they mean that in a good way.
well Skyhold has a tavern...so large amounts of alcohol will solve everything just like irl.
