DAO: Alistair & Leliana. First off, about Alistair, I rarely playing a female Warden, he's a bit of a whiner and he's too naive and childish. As for Leliana, I wouldn't deny that her romance is very romantic, but it's also cheesy. I remember romancing her twice with different wardens, and although I like it, I prefer Morrigan by far.
 
DA2: Anders & Sebastian. Seb is just dull, and Anders is....I hate what Anders become in DA2 especially every time I looked back at Awakening. 
 
DAI: Sera & Iron Bull. I have nothing against IB but he's not really my type, and I feel like I'm being dominated in his romance, and Sera is just ugh.

The guy emphasizes how much he cares about your comfort and leaves the choice of whether it should be casual or serious up to you.

Nothing against people not digging the Bull, but the reasons they bring up are always astonishing.

DAO: Leliana - Never big into her religious talk. Morrigan was pretty twitchy to romance too.  but I only played as a male once.  Most of the time I went with Allistar.

DA2: Fenris - so crabby all the time.  Usually romanced Anders or Isabella.

DAI: Solas.  I just can't even.  Even if I get my Quizzy to the point of being friends with him, I just don't like him one bit personally.  Even before I knew his part in things.

 

I haven't romanced everyone yet though.  I have romanced Cullen twice, Bull once, Blackwall once and currently Dorian.  Not sure if I'm willing to roll another male to romance Cass or not...  And even if I did I still might romance Dorian because he's the bee's knees.

DA:O- Morrigan. I like her and all, but it can be so damn tedious to keep her approval up unless I gave her a bunch of gifts or broke my RP every time I talk to her.

DA2- Depends on the meaning of the question. Though Anders is my least favorite among the DA2 companions, his romance content is pretty good. Sebastian probably has the worst romance.

DAI- Weirdly, Cullen. There's nothing really wrong there, but I guess it just reminds me of Alistair's romance, except weaker.

[Carmen_Willow]

Dragon Age: Origins - As a woman: Zevran. I like him, I like his determination to be optimistic despite the horrendous childhood, but Alistair has always taken my Warden's heart.  As a man: Morrigan. That "ooh it's so cold..." crap just puts me off.  Does she think I'm an idiot that only thinks with my .....?                 

 

Dragon Age: 2 - As a woman: Sebastian. Who wants to marry someone and not have sex? Stupid. Besides, when he's thinking of turning in my friends, he lost a lot of his luster.  As a man: Don't care much for either, but Isabella is my least favorite. Every choice I would naturally make in the game doesn't sit well with her. Our personalities don't mix. Merrill's stubborn refusal to see reason drives me nuts.

 

Dragon Age: Inquisition - As a Woman: Blackwall. It's weird. He seems a nice enough fellow before...well, but there is nothing in his personality that stirs anything in me. I enjoyed having fun with Iron Bull,  feeling treasured with Cullen and having my heart broken by Solas (sort of), but Blackwall just....I never even felt like starting a romance with him. Oh, and I have to add Sera.  Same thing, not interested.  As a man?  Cassandra, Josephine and Dorian were all fine for what their romances were. No complaints there.

[LOLandStuff]

DAO I actually enjoyed all the romances but the one I'm mostly meh is Leliana.

 

DA II Romancing Merrill was like romancing out of pity. Nobody wanted her and everybody was against her. It felt so...wrong...

 

DAI  Blackwall. Way to leave my Inquisitor naked on hay bales in a fortress on top of a mountain surrounded by snow covered more mountains. Could've at least covered her. Where are those pajamas when you need them?

[happy_daiz]

Least favorite, eh? OK, I'll bite. 

 

DAO: Leliana

DA2: Merrill

DAI: Blackwall or Solas, but to be fair, I haven't tried them all yet.

 

Edit: @LOLandStuff - I just realized that we basically chose the same people for each. I didn't even see your post until after I posted mine.

[NoRmAnDy-SR2]

DAO - Leliana, other romances were much more interesting

DA2 - Merrill, she acts like a 5 year old. It's just feels wrong.

DAI - Blackwall. Too boring. Most of the time I even forget that I've even recruited him.

[berelinde]

DAO: Leliana is just too syrupy for my tastes.

DA2: Fenris. I like his friendship arc, but when someone says "No, I'm sorry, I just can't," I let them go and move on. I have nothing against the character, but I have a hard time ignoring his stated desire to quit the relationship.

DAI: Josephine is sweet, but I just don't feel drawn to her. It probably doesn't help that I prefer men. I can get past my RL sexual preferences with Cassandra because her assertive personality is powerfully attractive regardless of my orientation, but Josephine just doesn't have the charisma to pull it off. Also, Sera. I like her personality, but I'm not really attracted to women. I could get around it as I did with Cassandra if I were able to romance her as a man... but that isn't possible, so I can't romance Sera.

 

Edit: And no, I am not saying that I resent Sera being a lesbian. That's how she is. The friendship path with her is a lot of fun, and there are plenty of other characters to romance. Dorian, Cullen and Blackwall are my favorites.

[BraveVesperia]

DAO: Alistair. He feels far more like a goofy younger brother to me these days. Romancing him just feels weird now.

 

DA2: Anders and Sebastian. I don't like their characters a great deal. Sebastian's romance is very limited (he doesn't even get a comfort scene after Leandra dies!), and Anders' possession means that romance has 'bad idea' written all over it. Since I've played it, I also know that it's the most depressing out of all other romances I've played (including Thane's, and that guy dies).

 

DAI: I've only romanced Sera, Josephine, Solas and Iron Bull so far. I enjoyed them all, but probably enjoyed Bull's the least. I'm not into the whole BDSM aspect, and I don't see him in a romantic light. 

[LPain]

DAO: Leliana. I find no common ground with her views. As berelinde said: too syrupy. And you do not see me enjoying talking about shoes or hair in real life, I cannot roleplay and feign interest to those matters in game either (personal fault- not hers). In fairness I often end up cleaning my desk if I just listen to her as friend. I am not into cute ladies who like fluffy things.

 

DA2: Anders. His personality is infuriating to me that I cannot even flirt with him.

 

DA:I: Competition between two for a different reasons: Blackwall, because he was way too ..gentlemanish to my tastes and I was bored to my t its. I need insults and fire. His personal revelation was alright, quite pleasing, but it did not make the romance less dull. I enjoy him as mate though- he is more..lively with his past exploits and such. Being left in a barn doesn't bother me at the slightest- it is just Inquisition version of disappearing before breakfast In fairness I did not even remember the whole detail before this forum reminded me of it, and still.. doesn't bother me. But I suppose it tells about me more than anything. Not my cup of tea.

 

And then there is Bull. It goes down to the Anders kind of .. dislike. I find nothing attractive in him, not mentally or physically. I just cannot make myself go there, because even normal conversations make me wander around  the room hoping the chat would be over already.  I don't do trying for the sake of possibility of being surprised positively- usually it ends up with fart sounds and cake on the face. I am eternal pessimist.. and I've used youtube.

 

I role-play in all other areas of gameplay, but I really suck balls in romance role-playing. If romance falls flat I will end up hating the whole playthrough- particularly when I know there are better options. That happened to me with my lady qunari- run. I completed it, but if there is a way of killing off the Inquisitor that lady will take it (as an only one). The woman even drained the whole bloody well empty ..

[KainD]

I didn't like a single romance, they are not ''serious'' enough for my taste. But then it's not just the NPC's, PC also sucks at romance. 

[Abyss108]

Blackwall. I just find him both completely boring and a terrible person. And I hate facial hair.

[LostInReverie19]

I'm actually in the middle of a DA Origins playthrough and was thinking about how infrequently I've romanced Zevran in comparison to the others. 

 

In DA:I, I find it hard to summon the urge to pursue Iron Bull. He's a funny guy, he just doesn't inspire as the others do.

 

And in DA2, it's Isabella. Even disappointing Anders is more appealing to me than her.

 

And then I realized.. it's all the promiscuous characters. I guess I'm not into that. Maybe I want my character to feel adored, rather than feel like they're one of many.

 

So I was just thinking... what does everyone else think? Everyone's always talking about their favorite romance options, but who couldn't you care less about? And is there a reason why? 

 

Are we twins? Because I too don't really like Zevran, Isabela, or IB as romances. However, I adore Isabela as a character, but I find it hard to romance her very often. Iron Bull is just not appealing at all. I honestly don't get why people like him so much, aside from the fact that he's basically a James Vega clone magically transported to Thedas. And Zevran...well, he's Zevran. I like Zevran as a character but not so much as an LI. 

[Oswin]

DAO - Leliana. I have no interest in the Maker, or shoes. I feared she would keep singing at me..

 

DA2 - Merrill. I find her too childlike so it always made me feel a bit too pedoHawke to go down that route.

 

DAI - Cullen. His romance gives me diabetes.

Hello, twin.   

 

Iron Bull doesn't seem to be that popular on this forum, but I've seen him get a lot of love elsewhere. I think casual fans of DA like Iron Bull more than die hard fans, for whatever reason. His romance feels like a light romantic comedy, nothing too serious. But for those of us who like to really immerse ourselves, he's disappointing. That's what I think anyway. 

[Ryzaki]

DAO: Morrigan easily just ugh.

 

DA2: Isabela just not my type.

 

DAI: It's a tie between Sera and Dorian.

[karushna5]

DA:O Leliana- As much as I like her, it feels like she has already done her journey and there seems little to do with her. She really was the Blackwall of Origins. I wish that the Leliana from her DLC was met right afterward her ordeal as I feel the complexity of the character would have been felt more then just being redeemed and finding out who she was.

 

DAII- Anders. He just reminds me of a lot of abusive people and he was a completely different person to the degree his personality had no segue (like Varrics) He was abusive and scarred me and I wish he had not existed at all 

 

DAI- This is hard, for one I haven't romanced them all or seen all their romances. I have done Josephine, Iron Bull, Dorian, and Sera, and seen Solas since I have no intention of romancing him. Out of those, Sera has to be the worst romance, but also my favorite, so Iron Bull because no matter how much he asks for consent it doesn't mean anything when the player didn't know it was BDSM. And it has a whole bunch of dangerous BDSM ideas, so that even the ideal of Iron Bull reminds me of how the community can be toxic even when they try really hard not to be.

[N7_Heartfire]

DAO : Morrigan (her friendship arc is 100X times better in my opinion)

 

DAII : Sebastian

 

DAI : Blackwall

[QweenBeen]

DAO: I'd say Morrigan

DA2: Anders...too angsty...preferred fenris' brand of brood

DAI: haven't played all the romances all the way through, just started and ended most of them before they got too far along...based on that, I'd say Iron Bull interests me the least...

[Cobwebmaster]

If I am confining my selection to Dragon Age then it would be a female character as I am not interested in romancing males.  Cassandra - a muscle bound tank brain steamrollering her way through pretty much everything in the name of the Maker. For me Cassandra is just like any other religious zealot who believes that converts should be won at the point of a sword wherever necessary (and it will always be necessary)

If you mean Bioware characters as a whole the winged elf Aerie in BG2. Never came across a more simpering (does my ass look big in this) coattailer in the history of NPCs .  

[phaonica]

I haven't played all the romances, so I'll just list the ones that are at the bottom of my lists to try because they seem the least interesting.

DAO: Leliana
DA2: Sebastian
DAI: Josephine

[Melbella]

Let's see....

 

DAO: Probably Leliana. I didn't not like it, just didn't like it as much as the others.

DA2: Anders. If his had been the one I did first before I knew what happened, I probably would have liked it more. Instead, I basically had to force myself to finish it.

DAI: Finished 3 (Solas, Cullen, Blackwall) and working on Dorian right now. Have liked them all so far. Least likely to do is probably Sera's.

Hello, twin.   

 

Iron Bull doesn't seem to be that popular on this forum, but I've seen him get a lot of love elsewhere. I think casual fans of DA like Iron Bull more than die hard fans, for whatever reason. His romance feels like a light romantic comedy, nothing too serious. But for those of us who like to really immerse ourselves, he's disappointing. That's what I think anyway. 

I think you've hit on something there because his romance does feel like "all in good fun" rather than, eternally yours!  I enjoyed it the one and only time I romanced him, but he'd be a summer romance or cruise ship encounter, not "meet my parents."  Still, he was more interesting than Blackwall who just doesn't even register on my interest meter.

[Tamyn]

Anders and Blackwall. When I saw them kiss my characters my stomach churned and I had to load a saved game. There are others I have no interest in, but they don't repulse me like that.

[ThePhoenixKing]

Wow, not a lot of Merrill fans on this thread, huh?

 

My picks:

 

With DAO, I think Zevran's romance arc is the weakest, but that's really only in comparision to the others. It's not bad by any objective standard, it's just not as good as everyone else's in my opinion.

 

DAII? Definitely Anders. Fenris' "bad boy with emotional issues who can be fixed with someone's love" shtick is pretty grating, and Sebastian's romance arc is so slight it barely counts (plus the fact I kinda ship him with Bethany), but manipulating your lover into becoming an accessory to an act of terrorism is about as low as you can get. Don't need to put up with his manipulative crap.

 

As for Inquisition, well, it would probably be easier to list the few romances I did like than the many I didn't, but Sera takes the cake when it comes to emotionally abusive awfulness. Seriously, forcing someone to choose between their lover and their culture is wrong on a level I can barely describe, and I have a low tolerance for bull*#%@ ultimatums as a rule to begin with.
