Poll: Dragon Age Origins - Which companion did you romance?

[J Tyran]

Leliana. Dat accent, got me every time.

Totally, that accent and a red head? Who could resist her?

Every time I replay it... even when I start with " I'm gonna romance..." as my mind set. I still can't resist her.

Resistance is futile.

It doesn't help that her romance is kinda cute too, she has these girly moments but never loses her self assertiveness.

I like bitchy women with a soft gooey centre, so I romanced Morrigan in this game and Jack in ME.

They put up all this front but they just want to be loved, I find it interesting to break though that front and get to know them a bit more.

 

[Caiphus]

Chose none. Didn't feel like sticking my virtual character's end in the crazy.

 

[badgersprite]

I romanced everyone at least once, but I romanced Leliana more than anyone else and liked that relationship best.

In an age where video game characters tend to be really dark and angsty in an effort to emulate adolescent notions of "maturity", it's really quite refreshing to see a character who can undergo the horrible shit that was done to her in the past yet still be among the most positive, optimistic and friendly characters in the series, without that being portrayed as stupidity or naivety.

 

[Zeckt]

Zevran. Years after playing origins, all I can and care to remember is Zevran. He's alot like me in so many ways in that he cares nothing about gender and he's really, really good looking.

 

[Captain Sock]

I romanced Alistair. He's adorable, and the whole "hiding insecurities behind humor" bit is something I can relate to.

In my games where I was a woman(Yeah, I play women sometimes sue me)

Why, is that strange? I know plenty of people who either occasionally or preferably play as the opposite sex.

 

[spartandude]

Where is the "All of them"-Button, for those of us who have to much free time on our hands?

This. however Alistair is my go to guy. hes really funny and adorable

 

[MetalMagpie]

i loved how she was kind of evil then you broke her wall down

There's something a little bit creepy about that sentence and I can't quite put my finger on what.

And you thought cutting out "and you got that magic love ring" made that more creepy? Really?

You're right. That is more creepy.

More creepy for everyone!

 

[Seydaman]

The team mate I would have loved to romance was Wynne. If she was romanceable I Would have picked her every time

Right! I would've loved to romance Wynne, I loved the dialogue with her, she always felt really open and kind and ohgodfroid.

But seriously, I liked her personality the most out of the party, and I was torn up knowing she was on borrowed time.

 

[Seydaman]

Originally Leliana, but on later playthroughs I got rather disenchanted with her, she just seems too...devoted? To the point where I pity her, and I find it hard to mix love and pity. I ended up romancing Allister on my latest playthrough, he feels, as if he...knows what he's doing I suppose, but I always feel rather reserved and withdrawn from him because of character history, despite the intimate moments.

 

[The_Lost_King]

I romanced Alistair. He's adorable, and the whole "hiding insecurities behind humor" bit is something I can relate to.

In my games where I was a woman(Yeah, I play women sometimes sue me)

Why, is that strange? I know plenty of people who either occasionally or preferably play as the opposite sex.

Some people make fun of me for it or make strange faces. My friend was really wierded out when I said I was playing a female priest in WoW.

 

[KingsGambit_v1legacy]

All of them except Zhevran, over multiple playthrus. I like Alastair the best, because of the effect it had when my female warden continued onto Awakenings and continued being referred to as her "Majesty". Followed closely by Leliana and lastly, Morrigan. Even the Witch Hunt DLC did little to help with that arc.

I think the sad part about DAII was that it didn't continue the story of any of these characters.

 

[Exius Xavarus]

I romanced all of them for the trophies.

But my romance of choice depends on the character.

Male Human Noble - Morrigan

Female Human Noble - Alistair

Any Elven character(male, female, city, Dalish, it matters not) - Zevran

My favorite's Morrigan. I don't care about Leliana at all.

 

[nevarran]

Leliana, I think. But my guy had moment of passion with Morrigan as well,

Spoiler

so the baby-freak incident happened

And my female character was a lonely soul, she cared only about killing things.
