That word you're using...I don't think it means what you think it means...
As for the romances yeah fem elf gets the lion share of the romances. Female Qunari and female dwarf however get as many romances as everyone else.

What if you like tragic romances more then mushy wedding stuff?
Female characters - as distinct from female players - get two of the potentially happiest romances (Cullen and Sera) but also one definite heartbreaker (Solas) and one that ends badly unless the player makes a very specific series of choices (Blackwall). They share a happy romance (Josephine) and a potentially sad romance (Iron Bull) with male characters. Meanwhile, male characters get one bittersweet option (Dorian) and one that could be happy or bittersweet depending on how it plays out (Cassandra.)
The worst thing that can happen in the Dorian and Cassandra romances is breaking up or being physically separted but still in love. Meanwhile, Solas turns out to be the next Big Bad and leaves you destroy the Veil. There's a possible happy end with Blackwall if you can get past his crimes and lying, but only if you get him out of prison and set him free with no conditions. (If you force him to serve the Inquisition he breaks up with you, if you send him to the Grey Wardens he dies.)
Across the series as a whole, I think it's pretty even. Alistair and Sebastian can put the character through some rather traumatic permanant break-ups, while the Warden's separation from Morrigan is only temporary.
I also have to add, with regard to Origins and Morrigan romancers. Only the warden romancing Morrigan gets to (potentially) have progeny with her--and she refers to him as "husband" in Inquisition. Not even Alistair romancers (no matter how much head canon players do or fanfics with the two of them having enough wall crawlers to repopulate Ferelden) get that. Should female players now ****** and moan because male wardens got to have a kid with their LI and not Alistair mancers!
Oh NO! Life isn't fair. Even a video game life.
Step One: Roll a female character.
Step Two: Romance Cullen or Sera
Step Three: Dance for Joy.
Step Four: Realize the choice word for "feminist" is wrongly used.
Step Five: Go get drunk and forget you ever wrote this post.
I was tickled pink to have the option for my Quizzy to marry Cullen, (squees), but it make sense to have that option for his ending. (squees again).
Are we talking about radical feminism or actual feminism here?
The latter has been present in all of the games for a while and I'm pretty glad about that even if Inquisition appears to be playing things a bit too safe in some ways.
The former is not true feminism, but merely one extreme created in response to another extreme and misses the entire point of feminism (which is meant to advocate for true equality for females and males rather than putting females above males).
Just wondering.
"it's not a big deal"
Then we should remove the marry option with Cullen and Sera and see the reaction of the fans. Seems fair to me.
oh no you don't. After Anders they owe us non feminists. *jk*
aah back when dragon age where a dark fantasy world for bloody hero . know it's a fashion show of fangirls . lol sorry but the truth
In DAO you could become Alistair's queen so I don't know how so. Hawke really got screwed.
So as those accusations drag on and on, did BioWare finally manage to turn the compass & pass as edgy around horrible people social circles?
I feel like such an intellectual for playing them now.
"Yeah, it's actually a game in which people of every race or sexuality or gender can create their avatar and have a good time. So you might not wanna play those on rainy Mondays if you don't have the stomach for it."

DAI was obviously intended as an anti-SJW political statement because there were no dialogue options for me to lecture Cullen on straight white heterosexual cis-male privilege.
Video games: serious business.

The game became really feminist
YAY!
(The DA series as a whole has always been rather feminist.)
Probably the most who played with a female character in DA:Origin noticed the sexism there are, like the conversation with Sten, and the horrible dialogue in the joining: "I'm the bravest here and I'm a woman!"
And how every NPC surprise when you are a female Grey Warden
But now in the inquisition the female character gets everything!
Maybe not the best in good looking, but they got the best romances!
Don't consider Iron Bull and Josephine because they are bisexuals, but the women has 4 romances and the men just 2!
The worst of this is the epilogue, of course Solas and Blackwall hasn't the best ending, but Cullen and Sera even you can marry them and life happy ever after!
The men has just 3 finals, Cassandra divine, she breaks up with you. Cassandra no divine, she prefers the seeker than you, and the strange romance with Dorian.
Why the male character can't get married?
I see this as a childish revenge for how the females was in DA:O, but why the FemInquisitor get three happy ever after and the MaleInquisitor only is happy with Josephine?
It's really awful. (I'm not saying the male romances sucks, there are a lot of threads to this, I'm saying the epilogues are made for the players with female character)

And no, the solution to this isn't play a female inquisitor.

Sorry, pretty much all of this is your personal preference. As a female player I am perfectly happy playing with my male Trevelyan who romanced Dorian, even after my first play as a fem Trev that romanced Cullen. The m/m Dorian romance is the "best" for me. I like this second character so much that he is now my canon character for DAI, my first male canon character in the series (both DAO and DA2 were females for me).
And here I thought the series was feminist from the start...
hence me buying it...
I would not call it feminism, I call it Bioware not understading that romances are a big part of their games. In the first months of Inquisition while I was struggling against how awful a game can be, because I couldn't even believe how much Inquisition sucked, my motivations to play were only romance. I knew Solas romance would be a biggie and well I was obviously right, but I guess everybody knew it. Later Sera and Cassandra took my attention. I defined my playthroughs by who I would romace, that happens when the game have nothing else to offer.
Last week I finished Mass Effect Trilogy, never played it before, I'm glad I never played it before, aside from Miranda's ass and Citadel the rest is useless. Ok, not totally useless, Morinth is marvelous but they made her a banshee so screw it, Kasumi Goto is funny and Leviathan reveal was interesting. Initially I would go for a 3 game Liara romance but she is ****** BORING, I thought she was interesting when I read all about mass effect on wikia but hell, she is stupid. Then I thought, ok, I cheat lesbianmance Miranda. That worked fine...ish. Her only appeal (aside being deadly hot) is her voice actor, I love her. But her story and dialogues are barely less boring than Liara. Now I'm going for one last try with Kaiden... Jesus I wonder how Mass Effect have fans, game is action so unplayble, meaning impossible to like the gameplay, so I thought people were in for the story, boring, then I thought, well, perhaps it is romance since romance saves DAI, but nope, not even romance.
Anyway... romance is a game saver (except when it sucks like in Mass Effect series) and Bioware should understand it. If they don't want people complaining about romances they should start making good games. If they keep making awful games they should seriously consider putting bissexual morrigan romance in all their games including Mass Effect and new ip.
aah back when dragon age where a dark fantasy world for bloody hero . know it's a fashion show of fangirls . lol sorry but the truth

You must be mistaken. I don't want to live in the same world as someone who can't appreciate the best feature of the entire game; of any game ever!
(The remark could also refer to the new wardrobe thing.)

Why can't it be both? I don't like the sanitized world one bit (this is unrelated to the OP's complaints, which are nonsensical), but I appreciate being able to make my Inquisitors look good. In the field, anyway. In Skyhold I'm still stuck with outfits I'd rate "serviceable".

Obviously your problem is that you're not romancing Garrus.
(I don't love Mass Effect anywhere near as much as Dragon Age, but Garrus is one of my favourite BioWare romances and one of the best parts of the series
.)

Wow, in the sea of nonsense that's the internet at any given day, you've managed to stand out. Congratulations.
Well, he sort of makes sense when you realize that many people like him have bought into the idea that feminism is about taking his cookies away and giving them to the ladiez. ![]()
*cracks whip* Now, stay in your hole OP and don't come out until the feminists open your cage! ![]()
