Okay well I can explain from my end. These characters seem a bit unrealistic for me, personally, just based on the graphics. When it comes to individuals, I only am attracted to human females. So there is one choice, though I would count Bellera. They're both okay. Like if someone similar was in front of me in real life I would think they are pretty in their own way, but not something that makes me say 'Wow'.

@Dantics what is meant by "unrealistic"? This is a game with qunari and elves after all? So you just prefer grounded romances? For me, it's a fantasy setting, so I want the unique stuff you can't get in real life. I rarely make human player characters, and the romance options not being human isn't a deterrent at all(though I probably WONT go to the bone zone with Emmerichs servant). I'm not being judgey or anything, just genuinely curious.

If you choose a rogue class and are still a “mage” and that explains why Rook can cast lightning damage with his daggers, this is gonna suck. It means that there will be no special dialogue options for being a mage, which as we all know, is something pretty fucking special in DA in terms of how society views you.

Companions definitely Davren, Taash, Neve, and Lucanis are the ones that interest me most. Primarily the first 2. Not closed off to the others but they’re not speaking to me, particularly Harding.

Have to see the mage skills, but going Lords of Fortune. As for companions, going my Mass Effect style; one slot is reserved for one of the female LIs I am romancing. Such as Ashley then someone who adds biotics/tech. Romancing Taash first, so she is reserved as my warrior. Then gotta see who works best in the area I am going to. I am glad they added more female options unlike DAI, where it was just Sera I liked... Going Mage, Elf, LoF, Taash.
