I'd say Josephine.

My list as follows:

1. Solas

2. Alistair

3. Cullen

4. Fenris

5. Dorian

6. Morrigan

7. Cassandra

8. Anders

9. Zevran

10. Leliana

 

- Solas was my favorite romance because of the emotion it evoked in me, the player. I felt intrigued. I felt amused. I felt familiarity, comradeship and then intense loss and desire for closure. Other relationships left me satisfied. This one did not. I appreciate that about the writers - even though Solas was a last second addition to the romance pool, they decided the compromise was worth it for the varied experience. A risk that paid off

Is there any appeal to Merril's romance beyond "omg she's cute like a puppy"?

[Qun00]

What's an alky?

Anyways, it can't be a real relationship without some conflict to shake things, right.

Cullen! The one and only! I was waiting for him to be romaceable since Origins. The level of fangirling syrocketed, when he finally got together with my Trevelyan. And I love how he matured during all those games, after all the eleven years difference between the events of Origins and Inquisition give him enough time.  

 

Alistair as a romance option was good too, especially the party banter it generated. But compared to Cullen, he feels too childish... at least that's what I remember from playing Origins.

You do get to be Queen of Ferelden, though!

Not that you get to see your character doing much queenin', but the title is acknowledged.

After being introduced to the franchise by DA:I, I'm backtracking now.

I know for a fact that Morrigan will be my romance option in DAO, but I'm not sure what to make of DA2.

At first, I thought I wanted Isabela. Just the fact that she's in an awesome novel like Those Who Speak already earns points with me.

But it would be just the same shtick as Morrigan, right? Cynical woman nobody trusts and who doesn't believe in love.

 

I, like you, was introduced to the series in DA: I and have gone back and am now playing through DA: O.  It's so interesting-- I went into it thinking I would romance Leliana because I loved her character in Inq. and lamented (but understood why) she wasn't a romance option.  However, I immediately found myself drawn to Morrigan.  

 

So, don't be surprised if your thoughts going into the game evolve as you play it-- it's so awesome to have a game/series of games with such depth that they evoke genuine emotions & feelings.  Obvs I recommend Morrigan's romance though , it's really fun, and not doubting/saying don't romance her-- just that you may be surprised, and enjoy!  

 

And I second what someone says above-- there are similarities between Isabela & Morrigan, but they are also incredibly different.  Isabela isn't quick to support anything, and looks out for herself-- Morrigan does the latter, yes, but she has many strong beliefs and is very opinionated (in, you know, a totes adorbs sorta way).

I didn't romance anyone in DA:O. I accidentally locked myself out of all of them because I was playing key parts of the game on an airplane and I really didn't want my neighboring passengers to watch some awkwardly pixelated softcore stuff on my computer I was okay with it to be honest, because I wasn't ecstatic about any of my options. While everyone was loveable in their own right, none of them quite struck my 'romance' chord. Alistair too fluffy/innocent, Zevran too pervy, Leliana too religious cotton candy, and it doesn't help that I'm straight. Also doesn't help that the graphics didn't do their looks much justice either lol.

I wanted Zevran in DA:2 but totally failed in romancing him. Ended up with Anders. I enjoyed it, and I feel alot for Anders because of the ending combined with my Hawke's romantic involvement with him. But I got over the appeal of both Fenfen/Anders pretty quickly just cause both were too angry/broody and bit problematic for me. I'm straight so I didn't consider Izzy/Merill, saw them as my sisters anyway.

Cullen hit the nail on the head. Mature, emotionally balanced dude, and hot af. The romance was very well executed in terms of capturing a friendship->romance progression and cutscene balance, and I liked that it was strong on a bunch of different things: funny, fluffy, romantic, sexy, angsty, heartfelt.

Who cares about queening? I want Cullen's babies!  

 

Though, when I played Origins about 2 years ago, I was really charmed with Alistair. So charmed that when I accidentally got his approval into negative, I restarted the game and googled a guide how to romance him and become a queen - and I was happy I was playing a Cousland. Though his constant whining about Duncan was a bit anti-romance-ish... (hey, dude, there's a hot red-head chick next to you, do you really want her to see you crying?)

And I must admit it was really difficult to not romance him in my second playthrough, as Amell, but I held on and remained faithful to Cullen!

I completely agree with the DA2 part here. The romance options were just too crazy for me and I found much more run in not romancing anyone and instead going to bother certain knight-captain to the Gallows every time I got opportunity.  

 

As for DA:I and Cullen, as I mentioned, I totally love him! I'm really pleased with his character development from the innocent confused boy in Origins, through mage-hating broken, but still reasonable guy in DA2 to the pure awesomness in DA:I.

I also loved the romantic scenes themselves. But there's one thing that makes me wonder: when you choose to continue romancing him, the scene starts on the table in the office, but you wake up in the bed. Did they move because the table was uncomfortable? Or because the office is too public place and they were disturbed again? Maybe the scout from the first scene had another important report. It would be fun to see a scene from his point of view.

Harding: "Hey, man, what's wrong, why are you drinking yourself to death?"

Scout: "Commander is gonna kill me."

H: "Why? What did you do?"

S: "I... uh... I went to give him that report and I... ehm... disturbed him when he was with the Inquisitor."

H: "What's wrong with that?"

S: "Well, he was with the Inquisitor..."

H: "What?! You mean with her? Like in bed?"

S: "More like on the table..."

Isabela all the way. She just felt like the perfect partner for Hawke.

 

I really liked Cassandra as well, but after I found out that apparently she did have a relationship with Galyan and he died at the Conclave, it just felt way too fast for someone to rebound like that.

 

Cullen was an honorable mention : )

[Ieldra]

Morrigan's all the way!

 

I recall how I felt when I played it long ago, before Witch Hunt was out. The parting scene where she said she had her own plans to follow that didn't allow being with the Warden, but I had the ring and there was hope that we could find each other again, at some time in the future, when our plans didn't pull us in different directions. It was, if not a happy end, a very good and poignant end, one that brought home that if Morrigan didn't have plans she considered more important than love, she wouldn't be the woman this Warden loved. Then Witch Hunt came and made things perfect. As opposed to what Morrigan believed at the encounter, it wasn't love alone that made my Warden follow her through the eluvian, but curiosity, an appreciation for secret and lost knowledge he shared with Morrigan.

 

Whenever I think of the type of character I appreciate most as a romantic partner in Bioware's games, Morrigan comes to mind. She's the perfect partner for my favorite type of protagonist. I don't think she'll ever be surpassed.

[berelinde]

Possibly Anders, believe it or not. It was just so emotionally devastating.

 

But I'm not sure I can answer this question with a single name. Cullen was my favorite "feel good" romance. Alistair was a bit of a heartbreaker (I was playing a mage), but it was also a fave. Isabela's gets honorable mention.

[Vanalia]

Alistair and Cullen.

I don't understand why Zevran seems si popular, I guess he's just not my type at all.

As Dorian told me, I'm fond of young blond handsome templars

I liked Fenris toi but he was a bit too agressive. I prefer romantic relationships.

[sjsharp2011]

She had a relationship years before. She cut it off a long time ago. Don't let this stop you.

 

 

But I agree on Isabela.

Agreed I was htinking of romancing Cassandra for my next run will be a little while before I do though as I've onmly just finished my current one earlier today

[Andres Hendrix]

Morrigan.

[Master Warder Z_]

it just felt way too fast for someone to rebound like that.

Their "relation" if you want to call it that, ended decades before DAI; it probably wasn't much a relation considering he was a circle mage and her a Seeker.

[Uccio]

She is sweet, kind and pretty. What else you need?

Morrigan is still nro 1 romance for me but Merrill is the undisputed second.

[Ieldra]

She is sweet, kind and pretty. What else you need?

Umm....if I asked "What is she like" about a woman and the answer was "She's sweet, kind and pretty", I'd know I wouldn't want her, in all probability.

Fair enough. Only you know what you want. But I am kind of curious about how being sweet, kind, and pretty make someone undesirable.

 

Admittedly, I adore Merrill, and I enjoyed her romance the time I played it, but I do understand why some might not like it as much. She's enthusiastic and she says some pretty goofy things, and some people might find that a little too childlike. I don't. I know several people IRL who are perfectly rational and mature as a rule, but who act a little giddy sometimes. It's just how they are.

[Milana]

Anders with MaleHawke was the best romance for me. Isabela with FemHawke would be my second choice.

 

Origins s/s romances didn't interest me that much, since Zev still prefered women and Leliana seemed kinda boring(that changed in Inquisition for me though).

 

Iron Bull irks me and while i love Dorian, his romance didnt affect me that much. Still he's my only choice in Inquisition:) Sera is ok, funny and cute, but still sometimes she seemed too childish and rude.

 

For me Anders and Isabela just seemed very in love with Hawke and i liked how their romances differ depending on Hawke's gender.

[Qun00]

I just checked the wiki, and... wow. Just wow.

There are far too many ways to screw things up while romancing Morrigan.

Between trying to avoid being too soft and working your way around the two moments where the relationship comes dangerously close to ending, you have to be alert at all times.

But hey, what is life without a challenge, right?
