Gosh your inquisitor and Cullen are adorable    

 

I think I might romance Cullen on my next playthrough, the romance seems very sweet Does Cullen have any restrictions when it comes to his romance, like for example, does he prefer humans over elves or something along those lines?

 

You can romance him with either an elf or a human, and between these races he doesn't discriminate. (He explains why he doesn't have any prejudice against elves if asked during the romance.) I romance him with mage Lavellan and I enjoy a few race and class specific dialogue options thrown in here and there. The other races are sadly locked out. Men are also locked out. Also, I've heard he may break up with you if you keep him on lyrium permanently and I'm not sure if keeping him on it temporarily has the same effect. But... I assume few people that care enough to romance him have the heart to keep him on lyrium anyway.

Wow, thanks for the details provided! Perhaps I will pursue a romance with him on my next playthrough, as I heard he was rather charming and sweet  

[BaaBaaBlacksheep]

Eh.....she's alright I suppose.

[Seraphim24]

I'm sure you could if you tried reallllly hard......

No problem. If you like your romances cute and fluffy, then it's likely going to be your thing. It's not for everyone, of course. But if you're looking for something sweet and positive, then Cullen is your guy. Have fun if you give it a shot.

You mean she's mean more alright Cassandra is a fine, grown woman who is fierce and loyal to her opinions ______

Don't give me wrong she's a good character but only as friends and comrades in arms.

That's understandable Hope your inquisitor and her remain lifelong friends!

[BansheeOwnage]

I thought it was moving. What she said was that there was this guy she loved and he died at the Conclave and that she was not going to lose the Inquisitor to Corypheus like she lost her previous love. She pretty much swears she won't allow Corypheus to take him away from her. I thought that was the point she was working towards by bringing it up and it felt bittersweet. Perhaps it was a bit awkward, but then again... when has Cassandra ever been subtle?

I'm sure it was moving, it's just the timing that's not-so-good But I concede that Cass says whatever she wants whenever she wants, for better or worse

 

 

Seconded. Cullen's romance is my favourite BioWare romance. Like, out of all their games. Not only is Cullen a great character that you can explore further that way, the romance is so stupidly cute and fluffy and happy and supportive and makes me weak in the knees, and a video game should not be able to do that, damnit.

I totally agree it's something Cassandra might like. In fact, now I'm disappointed she didn't turn out being a major shipper of the Inquisitor and their LI. 

I know, it's great I'm similarly amazed also because someone who I'm not even attracted to can move me so much. The whole thing is just so adorable.

 

And yeah, I really wish the NPCs in general commented on your relationships. That would have been cool and made it feel like it was actually happening, and not a secret relationship or a fantasy in the Inquisitor's mind or something

Thank you, I think they're adorable too

 

Vanilka answered your questions, so I'll just say that it might be a good idea to romance him with a mage of either race for some extra dialogue (and if you like the "forbidden Templar-Mage romance" angle, even if he's not a Templar anymore). And that if you do romance him I hope you enjoy the sweetness and the awkward flirting at first

Probably one of my favorite characters from the game, and my favorite romance option for Male Inquisitors.

My favorite character by far as well When I first romanced her, I was astonished by how she was such a remarkable woman. She is incredibly strong and is not afraid to stand up for her beliefs. The inquisitor's romance with her, to me, feels like an extension of who she is and in a way, it completes her and makes her a "rounder" person.

For general NPCs, the only remarks I'm aware of are the gossiping duo in the keep's great hall (transcript here), and a remark by Cabot.

I am aware, and I wish there was more Like, at least from companions! Your friends and co-workers really don't have anything to say? But thanks for the transcript, I don't always catch all the exchanges. Too bad it's only one variation listed though, since apparently there are several and now I'm curious.

 

Also, I thought "vicariously satisfying" was fairly appropriate terminology for a videogame romance

The different versions are only alternate lines for certain gendered things, such as the line about hats for m/m; it's not radically different for the different genders.

I'm torn on the follower reactions. I like the Dorian-related ones. While I wouldn't have minded more such remarks, those were usually enough (I've never managed to get the Cole one, sadly). However, I don't like the ones that are too explicit about my PC's sex life, so I don't care for the Iron Bull or Sera ones, but that's sort of what you sign up for with those LIs, so it's not surprising. It's just not my thing. BUT I will say that the poor Josephine and Cullen-mancers get shafted in that regard, so I feel for them. Some random war table remarks aren't really the same as every follower having a remark for follower romances while you're wandering around in the party.

I agree! During my romance with Cassandra and my many adventures with her and the other companions, I wish there was more banter regarding the romance. Though, there was some during my gameplay, and it was adorable to see Cassandra flustered when discussing the romance //swoons.

 

I think another feature that would've been another great addition are options which allow you to spend time with your love interest after completing the story. For example, after defeating Corypheus and Cassandra was not made you-know-what, it would've been nice to be able to spend some time with her. These options could include reading one of her favorite romance novels in the inquisitor's quarters all cuddled up or another bed scene with passionate kisses.   

 

One thing I really wished they could've fixed was the end game greetings with your love interest. I wish Cassandra could've said, "It's good to see you, my love," or something along those lines, instead of just, "Inquisitor."    That just made the romance seem dead afterward the main plot.

The lack of post-game dialogue was a bummer all around. The fact that we don't even have the same options, like the kiss-on-demand for the LI, really makes the post-game seem rather lifeless to me. The followers really flatten out when their dialogue options go away. True, you could have exhausted the options anyway, but having them say the one repeatable line (Dorian has a thing about bees), and nothing else after the initial bit, is a let down. Because of this, I try to finish up everything before going to the Corypheus fight, saving only the DLC for later completion. I just don't see the point in running around the world at that point.

Oh, that's odd. Are males supposed to wear fancy hats at weddings in Thedas? Cullen didn't

 

Oh, to be honest I didn't know to what extent the companions commented on romances to other companions (I knew there was some, but not how much), because I've only romanced Cullen, and like you said, it's quite disappointing that not one of your companions has anything to say about it. No well-wishes, no attempts at embarrassing you, and not even inappropriate questions I wouldn't be a fan of the ones that detail their sex life either, but those aren't required, I would have liked something. And thanks for your sympathy It is rather depressing that the only comment from the inner circle is at the War Table, and for Cullen it's only one line from Leliana, none from Josephine.

Yeah, I agree with you and Nightscrawl. The game feels rather dead after the end, which sucks, because it kind of defeats the purpose of letting you play after the end by encouraging you to do everything beforehand. Oddly enough though, Cullen says that "you look lovely today" after the end, but he never says that before

It's probably an Orlesian thing. 

 

Dorian comments on the Cullen romance. "Have thing for strapping young templars I see". Sera says the Cully-Wully bit about him. Cole peeps into his mind and tattles. But more is always better.

Well the hat remark is gendered because the original remark makes reference to gowns, then the person is corrected with, "Perhaps not, but think of the hats."

 

If you're curious about party romance banter, you can sift trough the follower dialogue and do a search for "romance." There is a video somewhere, but I can't find it at the moment.

I believe Banshee is mainly referring to party banter in which the LI takes part. Those companion remarks you mention are cute, but there is something really fun about hearing your LI being questioned about the romance and either becoming defensive or flustered in response.

 

Some of the Dorian ones have people remarking that he looks happy, which is really meaningful to me.

Cassandra is my only hope...

 

I am also extremely late to the DA party. I started this series in January of this year and completed both DAO and DA2 a few months ago and am currently on DAI. Honestly, I was pretty disappointed with my initial two romance choices in both those games. I chose Morrigan and Isabella and both of them just left a bad taste in my mouth afterwards. Both characters either had despicable qualities or just annoyed me in general. But I went on with the romance because I wasn't a fan of the alternative. In DA2, I feel there are no good romances for a straight male. 

 

So DAI is my final hope for a good romance with Cassandra. I am not too far in the game but I just got the love scene last night. And all I can say is that... it was very satisfying and well written. I might even be a bit over-dramatic and say the scene was "magical." I think Cassandra is probably my favorite character in the game so far. She's pious, but she strikes me as someone who is dependable, loyal, and likable. I also do find it funny when she gets flustered as well. I have high hopes for the romance so far.

 

Here's hoping it won't disappoint.

Really? I rather liked Morrigan's romance and her character development. At the beginning, she questions your selfless actions and disapproves of everything. But towards the end, she gains an understanding for you doings. Though I do understand why didn't like Morrigan. However, I believe that you might like her more in Inquisition, she matures quite a bit and I still find her beautiful and her voice ______  

 

Yes! I'm glad you are enjoying Cassandra's romance as much as I did. If you passed the love scene, things will keep picking up, so I'm sure she won't disappoint For me, I could never leave without having Cassandra in my party. 

[Bayonet Hipshot]

Cassandra is decent as a follower and bad as a love interest. Josephine is far superior as a love interest.

I kindly disagree, but what I do appreciate from Bioware is the diversity in the characters. Josephine's romance doesn't suit me, to each their own though

Cassandra is a attractive human but i dont like that in way because im a Qunari. I don't need human Females i need Strong and prosperity to fight with my allies.
