Top Ten DA Characters that Should Have Been a Romance Option
10. Aveline Vallen: She is strong and she is bi and she will carry me to victory. Fight me on this.
9. Leliana in DAI: Look, if the warden didn’t romance Leliana, the inquisitor should be able to. She is deadly, scary, and she knows all the good secrets. Let my inquisitor date the future Divine!
8. Velanna: I love my shem-hating former first. She wants to collect stories. She is amazing and she is the first of many Dragon Age: Awakening companions that should have had a romance.
7. Vivienne: Why, oh why, won’t they let me romance the regal mage that is Vivienne? She is the queen of the bad bitch aesthetic and I want to learn her ways. Plus, we could judge people together and she would freeze anyone who had a problem with us.
6. Anders in DAA: Look, I know my wardens are in good relationships, but that Anders isn’t even an option in DAA? Tragic. He is a slutty, slutty mage in this game and bonus, he loves cats and is sassy as hell.
5. Sigrun: I love my dead girlfriend. She is my girlfriend. Please Bioware, let me love her. She is the epitome of the goth girl and she loves to read and make jokes about death. Also, please let me romance a dwarf.
4. Nathaniel Howe: HIS BACKSTORY! HIS REDEMPTION ARCH! HIS ARCHERY SKILLS! THE RELUCTANT FRIENDSHIP (that totally could have become a romance)! Damn it Bioware! Why can’t I love him?!
3. Varric Tethras: Rogue. Storyteller. And keeper of my heart. I could accept in DA2 that he was just a friend, but then you introduce me to the piece of garbage that he is in love with in DAI? I don’t think so! He deserves better and I should be able to give it to him. (Also, again, let me romance a dwarf!)
2. Cremisius “Krem” Aclassi: Krem is a darling, darling man and I want to love him. He is strong and his story is so good. He makes nug plushies! Iron Bull would approve, so let me love him!
1. Scout Lace Harding: I know, I know, you can technically romance her, but I want a full out romance! I want to give her gifts! I want to kiss the top of her head! I want party dialogue about how excited I am to reach a new area because I get to see my adorable scout girlfriend! LET ME LOVE HER!
