Say, who do you think, among the same sex love interests, is the:
Quirkiest?
Prettiest?
Sexiest?
Nicest?
Neediest?
Smartest?
I would go, in order: Sera, Leliana, Leliana, Josephine, Merril, Dorian.
I'm not sure I can answer those... They all have their own quirks, and there are several different types of pretty, sexy and smart which aren't necessarily comparable. Josie is probably the nicest but even she has her ruthless side. I don't have a clue how one goes about judging neediness...
Hmm a though question. I'm somehow torn between Leliana and Merrill (friendship version).
Probably Leliana though.

My answers would be:
Sera,
Leliana (Dorian as most handsome one),
Isabela,
Merrill,
Anders,
Leliana
Hehe, i lost Leliana's romantic moment on my first char
Never tryed again... maybe some day...
Leliana sweeped me off my feet when I was going after Alistair, so I ditched him and later created a new character for her but it never hit me the same way.

Everyone is pretty nice and everyone is good looking but Anders is definitevely the neediest.
And they are all pretty smart but Fenris learnt Qunlat just by standing there and listening so I'd say him.
Allow me to bring up DA:A.. I wish my male warden could romance Sigrun and to a certain point Velanna..
Fenris, who is my favourite BioWare romance full-stop. (Especially rivalmancing him as a mage
.)
I knew you wouldn't let me down, querida.
Just wait til Xil shows up!
I love her voice.
Bull is the prettiest fashion model of them all.
Is it really worth it? Fenris makes an exception for you, but his opinion of mages never changes.
Adding random spanish words to an English sentence... wait a minute!
Do you happen to be Corvida from NF, by any chance?
No, just Gomez.
But you will always be Bubele to me.
Fenris. Rivalmancing him as a mage is the best. His voice is hot, I love how heated he could get, the romance scenes (aside from a small bug) was smoking, and I prefer challenging a companion moreso than the "loving the pain away" type of interaction. Because of the rival system I felt that my Hawke had a far more open and candid relationship with Fenris than my Warden with Zevran or my IQ with Dorian. And I love the little red band Fenris wears while romanced.

He doesn't make an exception for Mage Hawke. If you speak to him more you'll see that his main concern is about the temptation Mages face and how unrealistic it is to expect every single mage to control themselves at all times, especially when weak people exist whether they're a mage or not. Sure, he despises the mages who hurt him and doesn't like the whole "Mages should be free!" spiel but he's no rampant Mage hater.
I've only done one same sex romance on my characters, but the one I did run through was Leliana. Her personality and the way she interacted with my Warden was too sweet and appealing to ignore.
A show of hands, please! Which is your favorite, and why does it stand out?
I'm really fond of Leliana. Maybe that' because I was raised in a rough, masculine environment, so I miss a more feminine presence in my life.
PS:I'm a straight woman. And yeah, a bisexual character managed to win my heart. A testament to how great BW characters are. 
Is it really worth it? Fenris makes an exception for you, but his opinion of mages never changes.
Yes. Choosing the mages at the end and having him fight alongside you is one of my favourite moments in DA2. (Actually, that's true whether or not he's romanced. I love his 'I cannot believe I am doing this and yet here we are' reaction.)
Fenris. Rivalmancing him as a mage is the best.
How you can rivalizing with Fenris? Hawke sent him back to Danariius?
Fenris, hands down. His entire arc is about coming to terms with trauma, a tale of recovery. I love that it's not that he it 'fixed' somehow by Hawke's love, but that he actually has to work through his issues - him getting his memories back for a second after they've been together could easily have turned toxic by having him try to recover them with him repeatedly having sex with Hawke, and instead he pulls away, to work through this rather than try and apply the quick fix. He wants to get himself in a better place emotionally before committing to a relationship. Plus, did you SEE that final kiss? DAMN.
Sadly, he's really been the only male same-sex romance I've actually had any real semblance of satisfaction from. Zevran and Dorian both put up a front that actively pushes me away - defense mechanism or not, their attitudes in the early part of the relationship, where both of them are pretty much act like they're the Maker's gift to anyone they're flirting with honestly just makes me want to punch them both in the face. Whatever else that exists under those facades - and I KNOW they're facades, a projected image because of their own pain, I know all this - the preliminary image they present is so much a turn off, I have less than no desire to dig deeper. Meanwhile, Anders screams emotionally manipulative/abusive to me, actually using the 'if you love me, you'll do this' argument with Hawke at one point, and BDSM is SO. VERY. MUCH. not my thing, which turns me off of Bull as a romance.
Dragon Age is one of the few games out there where I get to play a gay character, but I've been unsatisfied in two out of the three games. ...And, obviously, I kinda needed an outlet to rant some.
How you can rivalizing with Fenris? Hawke sent him back to Danariius?
Well, no. That would end the romance! All you have to do is be nice to mages, and you get to full rivalry very easily. (Being nice to Fenris also sometimes helps, which amuses me.)
I did have one Hawke that gave him back to Danarius, but she romanced Merrill. (Which was the main reason she did it. Fenris was consistently mean to her girlfriend.)

Hehehe the ONLY interesting bit about super nice guy Hawke for me. Fenris bristling when you're just trying to be nice to him. Like a very angry cat when you're trying to give it belly rubs.

None of my Hawke's send him back to his former Master. My Hawke just aided Mages and confronted him about his attitude. Other than that my Hawke was more of a teaser.

Zevran was such an annoying pain in the rear and not very attractive (imo, none of the elves are except for Fenris and Solas(he grew on me)). Not to mention that the gift system + him telling my Warden that he prefers women made me feel as though my guy was buying his affection. That's why I ended up romancing Morrigan and I loved her romance so much I consider her my Cousland's canon choice. Anders just screamed "I'm crazy!" right off the bat. He was practically thirsting for MHawke directly after the Carl mission. You should know nothing is going to end well when you playfully flirt with someone and they mention drowning you in blood. 
With Dorian, I avoid flirting with completely until after the fight with Mother Giselle. I usually pick the annoyed reactions to his grandstanding and crumb drops about how handsome he is. It made the romance so much better. Not on Fenris level, but surprisingly good.
Zevran. For some reason he matched perfectly with my Warden and it felt like I was watching their romance unfold organically, rather than having an active hand in it, if that makes sense.
Fenris, Dorian, Isabela, and Sera are my other choices.

Mine aided mages too: he was the last hope for Kirkvall's apostates, and supports freedom for all mages, confronted Meredith and templars, but he have 100% friendship with Fenris. Oh, and have Anders AND Fenris in group always. (Anders' friendship was on 100% too...)
Hehh... maybe the bloodmagic helped reserve the peace 
Isabella nice... if Anders cured her disease...

I find it a slight turn-off when someone - having just barely washed their lovers blood of their hands - decides to start hitting on me. It's just a tad coo-coo for cocopuffs.

I didn't get any of that from Anders in my current game. Maybe because my Hawke kept going for the purple responses? Anyway, no hint of flirting from Anders whatsoever, and he's at 100% friendship. Regardless, [I] my guy [am] is all about Fenris anyway so maybe [I] he just didn't notice? 
As much as I like F!Quisitor and Sera, Isabela and sarcastic FemHawke are the cat's pajamas. I really like their dynamic.
