While playing the game a few days ago I started wondering about Cullen and Josephine's romance. From the outset, their romance seems just fine with Cullen having to deal with his Lyrium addiction and Josephine having to deal with a suitor.
However, when I looked at the world map, I saw a problem. In game, your Inquisitor fast travels to specific locations that they then explore either by themselves or with followers. The thing is, that's just gameplay because there is no technology in game that the Inquisition uses to facilitate fast travel. Yes we have the Eluvians but they are not used for that purpose by the Inquisition with some small exceptions in the main game and during the Trespasser DLC. Now you might bring up the crystal Dorian gives you but that crystal is not brought up and is not introduced in the main game or in other DLCs so that's out.
This means when you Inquisitor travel from Skyhold which is in the Frostback Mountains, they do it manually, by riding an animal or by foot. Therefore, journeys to specific spots such as Redcliffe or Western Approach or Crestwood or Val Royeaux or Storm Coast or Heidrun Thaig or Frostback Basin will take time. Estimation range from a few days to a week or two. Then your Inquisitor will spend quite a significant time in those spots doing quests or gathering resources. That would take anywhere between a few days or a few weeks or even a couple of months. After all that is done, your Inquisitor goes back to Skyhold, which will take time and spend their days handing out judgements, completing quests and managing the War Table. Then the whole cycle repeats itself and your Inquisitor is out again to another place.
My point is that the Inquisitor will not have enough time for a romance with Cullen or Josephine. Realistically, your Inquisitor will mostly be out in Ferelden or Orlais or the Deep Roads doing quests and will spend a relatively short amount of time in Skyhold. Therefore, having a romantic relationship with Cullen or Josephine would be like having a long term relationship without the internet or the telephone or the telegraph. You have letters but from my experience playing the game, the letters are primarily used for quest purposes, not romantic ones.
A good analogy to this is Skyrim. In Skyrim, the Last Dragonborn can potentially get married to someone who then settles in a home and does their trading. Meanwhile, the Dragonborn will be out in the world of Skyrim for weeks or months questing in some remote crypt or dwemer ruin or falmer settlement or foreign land like Raven Rock. Then after all time time spent questing, the Dragonborn goes home to their spouse and/or kids for a short while before being out again for long periods of time.
In short, when you factor in the element of time and distance as well as the lack of instant communication (Eluvians and special crystals don't count for reasons stated above), it becomes clear that romancing Cullen and Josephine is quite difficult, if not impractical. As a result, it is best to romance a companion since you can actually bring them out with your Inquisitor so that they can spend more time together. This is also why I think that Scout Harding would have been a better romance option because she is at least out there with the Inquisitor. Yes Cullen and Josephine come out sometimes but it is only during their personal quests and during the Arbor Wilds. Otherwise they don't. What are your thoughts and comments on this ?

As you can see, it is YUGE and that's not including Descent and Jaws of Hakkon.
