Well if you weren't an idiot Bratt, I'd assume you'd be well aware of the race of miniature giant space hamsters and their Rashemen companions.
Yeah, I dunno. I liked the romances a great deal within DA:O, especially Morrigan's, incredibly powerful ending and very moving. But if she appears as a cameo, that would make sense and still do justice to the story and romance.
I don't think the romances are a legit reason to dislike the expansion's lack thereof, beyond Lelianna and Zevran, as they'd have no reason to part ways with you. Infact, I would have expected Zevran to continue travelling with you as he seems to be one for adventure and the like, though if it is because of the possible romance option and this sudden wanton hate for romances in the following expansion, then I suppose I can live without the bad ass elf who sounds like antonio banderas.
Fact of the matter is folks, I think Bioware wants to kind of stamp into our brains "You know you're here to kill Darkspawn, not frollick through the tulips with Morrigan/Lelianna/Alistar/Zevran." which is also legit.
