DA: Cullen
And nope! Not choosing! I'll sneak around on both of them, yep yep yep....
It's those lip scars, that cute dainty thing on Cullen's lip and Garrus' s half blown off mouth and exposed raptor teeth..mmm....*melts*
ME: Kaidan (Thane if he didn't die)
DA: Fenris (Solas if he didn't leave)
Liara: scientific, friendly, compassionate.
Cassandra: faithful, friendly, supportive.
Both: The most adorable objects possible within the known universe
The important stuff, y'know.
Honestly? I don't think I could ever make a real decision, but I think that I personally would get on better with Liara (I like science, history, caring for everyone. Not that Cassandra doesn't, but it's not so much of an essential element of her character.)
Arghh! Hard theoretical decisions!

Liara is one of my all-time favorite characters, so I think it would have to be her.
But my DA choices are meaningful for different reasons. Alistair, Anders, and Solas. Solas is the first character to affect me so deeply since Liara, FWIW.
ME: Liara
DA: Merrill
Who wins? Merrill. She may have terrible judgment but she's absolutely adorable. I also think she's one of the prettiest characters Bioware has ever designed.
I love these threads because it's a reminder that whenever someone uses the words "obviously", "clearly", "objectively", etc. in regard to romance content, they are most likely wrong. The posts in three pages are all over the place. One general trend, however, is that very few people have mixed gender answers. Most people are comparing males/females in one game to the same gender in the other, despite many people saying that they play both male and female PCs.
In fairness, that does not necessarily mean that people are only playing one gender, since a few of the more popular LIs (Liliana, Liara, Isabella, Merrill, ext.) are romance options for either gender. I'm also guessing that "favorite" is going to come from a canon playthrough. It certainly does for me, which is why all of my pics for favorite were F/F.
I agree with you 100% on "obviously, clearly, objectively." Every time I see another "Josephine, Sera, or Cassandra are so ugly" thread, I roll my eyes. I think they look great.
DAO: Leliana
DA2: Anders
DAI: Solas
ME1: No one (probably the only game i've played so far where I like to romance nobody)
ME2+ME3: Tali+Garrus
Leliana wins
Dragon Age: Leliana in DA:O, Isabela in DA2, Josephine in DA:I
Mass Effect: Liara
It is kind of a tough choice, but Liara over all. She has an romance arc that spans three games and is the most developed of the bunch.
Dragon Age: Merrill
Mass Effect:Tali
I just like the idea of two seperate people from different species or culture being in love. Whether it be Qunari with human or Human with Quarian, I tend to choose the cross-specie/culture if available.
ME: Kaidan (Thane if he didn't die)
DA: Fenris (Solas if he didn't leave)
Some female protagonists are doomed for heartbreak in Bioware games.
DA: Leliana, Morrigan and Cassandra. I can´t choose one, I love them all ![]()
ME: None. The misión was too important to be distracted by romances.
Honestly, the only romance I really enjoyed was Steve's in Mass Effect. Jack and Tali were nice, while Garrus was... hilarious. But all in all they didn't really give me uh. Feels? In Dragon Age I found almost everyone likable, so at least in my opinion DA romances are way better than the ones in ME. I think I still have to say my favourite DA romance is Alistair, as tough as it is to choose.
DA:O - Nobody
DA:2 - Zevran
DA:I - Blackwall
ME:1 - Kaidan
ME:2 - Garrus
ME3 - Kaidan and Garrus (because why the freak not? obviously different playthroughs)
I'd choose Kaidan over everyone else. He's bae. And my PC is a homie-hopper... Dang. Dat list.
Nothing from Dragon Age Inquisition beats Liara T'soni
None of the characters in DAI gets even close to the romance you had with Liara in Mass Effect.
This romance was so intense and well founded.
