I would think Cassandra just tends to do more. I actually found the idea of Josie gossiping with me a lot of fun (I kinda hoped it would happen after that one conversation where she talks about things to you on your balcony), but she never did that, and otherwise just didn't do a whole lot. I know your question was probably more aimed towards het males, but I thought I'd throw in my two cents since I like to roleplay a lot of different characters ^.^

[Retconnaissance]

Cassandra romance was really good. I would go as far as saying that this is my favourite Bioware romance to date.

It has some sublte humor while at the same time raises some serious questions about faith, duty and such, which ties in nicely with the main story.
She's also a companion, so you grow more attached to her, she participates in dialogues during quests, has banters with the others and also approval/disapproval system. All this adds layers to her character.

Wasn't really interested in Josephine to make a separate playthrough, so I watched to romance on youtube. It was ok I guess, just not my thing. It's sweet and all, but outside of that not really interesting. Plus her concern during the duel was supposed to show how caring she is, but instead looked a bit stupid imo. I mean the Inquisitor is fightng dragons and all other kinds of nasty stuff, but the thing that terrifies her most is a duel with some Antivian noble.

Also, while I understand why the character was made that way and it may seem dumb, but there is one other thing that I don't like about Josephine. It's the fact that she can be romanced by literally anyone. I mean, get some priorities.

It scares her because she doesn't want someone getting hurt for HER not because she's afraid of the Inquisitor getting hurt because its so dangerous~~~. Josie has a tendency to devalue herself, and her arc is about Quizzie basically going "no, you're amazing and I love you and I'm going to do this ridiculous thing for because you're the best thing that's ever happened to me"

I like that aspect of it, tbh, I just wish the romance overall was more fleshed out. I have yet to actually play it though. I've just watched it, so I might feel differently about it when I do.

Also, not even gonna touch that last comment, lmao.

[Ryzaki]

I got the impression that was just Josie's worry about the hair raising stuff Quizzy does reaching a boiling point. She does have to constantly watch him/her go off to maker knows where to fight maker knows what. That would fry anyone's nerves after a while.

I have to disagree with that.

 

Josephine objects to the duel not just because the Inquisitor could get hurt, but because the Inquisitor could get hurt doing something that was entirely unrelated to the Inquisition or stopping Corypheus. She doesn't want the Inquisitor getting injured or killed on her account, particularly when she thinks she can resolve the betrothal situation through diplomacy. From her point of view it is a pointless risk.

Ah, fair point, I guess it just flew over my head, as I wasn't really invested into the whole thing, watching it on youtube. Maybe my view is bit skewed because of that.

Why are like 40% of the threads on this board boys whining about something or another?

But Im not whinning about anything, if you read the OP you would know.

[Cerulione]

TBH, as a girl I'm even interested in making a male Inquisitor to romance Cass. I really find her character appealing & interesting. Whereas Josie... well, she's... nice but flat. 2D. Cass has the depth that Josie's character & personal arc do not.

 

Cass is "the" girl. The strong headed one, the one who does not falter, who stands strong against odds & brash but with a good heart inside.

While reading some topics about romances, I noticed that a lot more people romanced Cassandra than romanced Josephine.
I got the impression in the others games de difference in the numbers between people who romanced Morrigan/Leliana and Isabela/Merril was shorter than in DA:I.
So I wonder why this happened in DA:I. I doubt its because she is not a party member, because Cullen is a advisor and a lot of people romanced him.
So why you guys think it happened? To me I think she isn't very remarkable, I liked her conversations about politics, but when she started talking about herself or her family she bored me. I know its unfair to compare her past and family to Cassandra, but there was nothing interesting to me.
 
PS: this is not a topic on who is the better romance, if you think Josephine is the better its ok. I just want to know why more people romanced Cassandra than Josie.

Because Cassandra is the only adult romance option. Josie is a disney hand holder.

[Qun00]

Let's do the math.

2 for het males

2 for gay/bi females

2 for gay/bi males

2 for het females

Sounds good enough to me.

Besides... all you need is Cass, da da da da ~~

Because Cassandra is very, very badass. And hot.

Nothing against Josie, though. She's got a beautiful smile.

[I present Chuck Bass]

Hmmm… are there any Josey's fans out there? 

right here....

Preferences and things people are attracted to his hard to implement in game romances cause many players wouldn't really like if LI's had not only gender and race-gates but also looks-gates (hair color etc.). It would be hard to made too. I guess BW could have race-gated Josie but I doubt many would have been happy with that, I'm at least not happy with Cullen's and Solas' race-gates ^^

[Han Shot First]

right here....

 

I had my Inquisitor go for Josephine as well.

Yet there's only one het female love interest (Cassandra). 

 

There are three male het romances (Cullen, Blackwall, and Solas).

 

As far as exclusivity goes, the het men got the short end so to speak.

 

Plus let's count the total LI's for each gender: 

 

Males: Cassandra, Josephine, Iron Bull, Dorian.

 

Females: Cullen, Solas, Blackwall, Josephine, Iron Bull, Sera.

 

Yeah, females got men outnumbered here.

 

It all comes down to how you present your data.

[veeia]

God I hope you meant to say het men, gay men, and lesbians got the short end of the stick because I'm agnostic but if I am seeing god up in here data-whining about straight men's options while ignoring that gay/lesbian players get the the same amount then I may switch to full blown atheism.

[dsajorje3]

It seems like both Iron Bull and Josephine got the least amount of players romancing them. My theory is that bisexual romances have fewer people trying them out because of the writing  and game engine accommodation that's needed to treat the PC like a different gender, so it results in a more bland romance where they don't see "you".

 

Sorry if I'm not getting my point across, I'm bad at describing things, so maybe Solas had a better romance than the others because he has a stronger storyline for just a female dalish elf, while Josphine's comes off as more generic because it's too much work to make a storyline for all types of Inquisitors

[veeia]

Personally I didn't romance IB because I haven't had any interest in any of my chars being a sub, and I haven't romanced Josie yet because her character, while sweet, wasn't as compelling to me immediately, and it had nothing to do with the sexuality part. Actually, since I am bisexual myself, I was looking forward to them, but neither spoke to me. Shrug.

IB's romance has gender specific lines anyway, so that doesn't work as well.

[aphelion4]

Never got around to romancing either of them yet but on my Solasmance playthrough I spent way more time seeking out Cass than Josie. Josie just seems..boring tbh. I'm not surprised not many pursued her romantically.

[errantknight]

This thread is not what you think. Read the beginning. It's curiosity as to my more people do the Cass romance than the Josie one.

 

Edit: Well, that wasn't the OP's intent. It seems to have devolved a tad.

I don't need it to be exclusive, I only need it to be available.

I see what you mean, but I don't believe that's it. First... how does it seem like they have the least players romancing them? I'm not even sure if that's true. Still, Cassandra has a strong case over Josie simply by being both a returning character and a companion. Bull has some qualities some people may not like (in a romance), such as being qunari and the style of his relationship with the PC. I think those reasons are more likely than anything to do with being bisexual, or pansexual in Bull's case. I know for a fact some lines in Bull's romance change depending on gender, so they actually do have that btw. :3

[Ser Kilroy]

I honestly love both romance and I'm torn between the two for my canon playthrough. I may go cass just because I like the idea of the Blackwall/Josie romance, even though doesnt really pan out. 

My guesses why Cass gets more romances are:

Boobies

Already has a fanbase

Is a companion.

 

For me i like the idea of having romances for non-companions, i hope bioware doesnt get rid of them on the next game

 

Also, I hate her VA and the Antivan accent in general.

Those are my reasons.

What!!!! I love the accent

[veeia]

Yeah her VA is great.

Also Chernaya is correct, we have no data on the LI at this time...just random polls or "this thread is more popular" or whatever.

I am pretty sure when all is said and done, there will be more Josiemancers than Sera, even though her thread is one of the more active ones.

[errantknight]

I'm definitely going to do a playthrough romancing Joeie. I accidently romanced both her and Cass in my first playthrough, which led to an interesting development after which I had to go break Josie's heart. Man, did I feel like a cad.

 

The romance is more charming than people think it is, although in future if they let us romance non-companions, I think they need to give us more quests and opportunities for interactions with them.

 

While Sera is a very interesting and well acted character, I don't see one of my characters romancing her, though. My inquisitor who got along with her best still found her too immature to even think of like that.
