I've made a new Inquisitor - a male warrior. And I wonder who should he romance? I narrowed my choice to Cassandra and Dorian. Which story is more fun and interesting? My first playthrough my Inquisitor romanced Cullen and I loved it. Any toughts?

[Milan92]

I can't speak for the Dorian romance, but I really enjoyed the Cassandra romance. Definitely a recommendation.

Okay first what race are you in this playthrough?

[andy6915]

Cassandra, you see more of her inner soft and sensitive side that you don't normally see so much. Dorian seems to display his inner self more by default, so you see more of his true self regardless of romance.

 I did Cullen first too o/\o

 

I made my first male toon to either romance Cass or Dorian and just let things happen as it felt right... and my second Male toon is with Dorian too >< I absolutely love and adore Cass but for me there's something which draws me to Dorian more. Cass wants flowers and poetry and romance, which is cool but that sort of stuff doesn't really have any appeal. For me the difference between the two is Dorian's feels more "real" but I think that's more because of my personal jadedness with the traditional concept of romance in general.

 

Both are really well done though and you get a lot more insight into who each character is in the romance. Honestly, between the two I don't think you can pick wrong

I love Cassandra and ultimately romanced her. But I have to admit I had my Inquisitor kiss Dorian affter his personal quest.

[Andres Hendrix]

Cassandra's romance is a waste of time if she ends up as Divine (a bitter ending, that feels rather forced)... Also, the writers for some reason overlooked a lot of opportunities in game to use romance dialogue with Cassandra. A shame really...

[congokong]

I've debated this myself. Dorian's romance I'd say is better/has more content/less cliche, but I favor heterosexual romances. If the latter is no issue with you then I'd definitely say choose Dorian's.

[Mentxi]

That's a difficult one! Both of them are touching, both of them are great characters, both of them are Gaider, both of them are sexy ...

If you romance Cass you can see more of her (*wink   wink*), It's amusing to see her defences down and romancing her is the best way to archieve so. And no, she doesn't change, she mantains her personality intact (which is VERY good). If she becomes Divine you can have a little bit of drama (if you like that kind of romances) and you can always elect Vivi or Leli to have a happy ending. If your inqui is very pro-chantry, instant connection.

Dorian is REALLY funny and his romance arc doesn't lack anything. The flirting it's amusing, he really like to flirt back and he made my qunari feel sexy . It's easier to romance him coz you will have a happy ending no matter your choices (well, you can screw it but it's pretty obvious what you have to do). Not that it's important or anything, but It's the first gay romance in DA and a very good one.

 

 

Maybe Cassandra has a greater connection to the history? But if they release a DLC about tevinter (please!!!) in the future....

There is also something about Cassandra's romance that just feels off, I'm not exactly sure what it is (but I've been thinking about it for awhile) it's like it does not feel thorough enough (e.g. characters like Varric, oddly enough, say nothing about it), and on Cassandra's side she seems to be apathetic throughout the whole affair. That later part might just be my bias, due to the fact that the first time my Inquisitor romanced her I got Cassandra's Divine ending. However, that whole conversation even feels flat, it might have to do with the fact that Gaider and Weekes did not actually conclude Cassandra's romance, something that I think saped the emotion out of that final conversation on the balcony.

Is it a bug that every time you select romance activities with Dorian, like playing Chess, and the screen fades into black and then resumes immediately and nothing happened?

False.

I don't think we played the same game, to be honest. The fact that someone doesn't express emotion in the same way you want them to, or do yourself, does not mean they didn't express emotion. 

 

As to the OP, it's really not that important. BioWare romance never has been. 

[katerinafm]

I hear Cassandra's romance is great, though I haven't played it yet. I romanced Dorian on my third playthrough and liked it a lot (not as much as Iron Bull though). He's really sweet, though I wish there was more content to his romance. No idea how it compares to Cassandra's, but the fact that I wanted more from Dorian romance arc is a good sign.

 

A funny personality fits with Dorian well, something to keep in mind. We also know he would bed qunari due to him hooking up with Iron Bull if unromanced.

If you're talking about what happens when you pick the 'let's spend time together' dialogue option, then it's not a bug.

[Arlee]

 

False. 

 Also false.

Umm... a person's impressions of something can't really be false. You might not share the same feeling but it doesn't mean they are wrong in their opinion of how it felt to them. It's pretty obvious the person was talking about how the romance felt to them personally :/

Your entire response is silly. First of all these are my impressions, however writing false twice without any explanation is an anti-argument if I ever did see one. Blackwall and Dorian both get added romance dialogue in "Here Lies the Abyss", Cassandra does not. Varric does not mention anything about the Cassandra romance, Cassandra does not even ask how the Inquisitor is after facing the Nightmare demon (I'm pretty sure Iron Bull, and Sera do)... I'm not saying that there is no romance, only that it does not seem very thorough. Lastly, I was not saying that there was no emotion in the scene only that it seems to fall flat, because the writers do not actually conclude the romance. It is Gaider and Weekes' fault, they could not bring themselves to actually finish it. The scene would not have fallen so flat if, for example, Cassandra and the Inquisitor were never to see each other again. So instead of having a highly emotionally scene, it becomes a more emotionally neutral scene, because Weekes and Gaider did the Bioware copout, or, in other words, they 'left it open to interpretation.'

[Cespar]

Varric actually did talk about the Inquisitor/Cassandra romance in banter. Cassandra didn't get romance in Here Lies the Abyss, but it makes up in other areas, like talking with her about becoming the Divine. 

[Pokemario]

I think Dorian has a better romance arc.

[happy_daiz]

Dorian.

Cite sources for Varric (the banter should be on the Wiki), I've already discussed the Divine ending.

I agree with you,but I don't really see how Patrick Weekes had anything to do with it. Cassandra was written by David Gaider,at the time when he was still the Lead Writer of the series,was she not?

[Creator Limbs]

Dorian's romance gave puppies wings and made them fly.

Both Weekes and Gaider wrote Cassandra. Gaider said that he and Patrick discussed a so called "bitter sweet ending" for the Cassandra romance and the Divine ending was the answer that they came up with... I think it was Patrick who said, that they left the end scene on the balcony open to interpretation.

Interestingly, if you flirt with Dorian but romance Cassandra, then Dorian certainly mentions it.   He and Cassandra also both makes comments about the other in party banter if you are in a romance with one of them.    There seems a bit of a platonic dynamic going on between Dorian and Cassandra a lot of the time, which makes sense because Dorian is a great platonic friend with a female Inquisitor.    

 

I personally feel more of a connection with Dorian and there seemed a greater emotional range in the relationship but it is nice to see the romantic side of Cassandra.  It certainly makes a change to have a strong woman who is not ashamed of wanting a bit of romance in her life instead of simply sleeping with you.    I did get the feeling that at times my Inquisitor was sending her up but he tended to joke about things a lot of the time, so may be I was imagining it.
