Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Dorian is awesome. He and my first Inquisitor ended up BFFs. I was extremely disappointed when I ran out of new dialogue with him.
What's also cool is the number of posts I've seen on several forums where people say "I'm a straight guy and I was planning on my Inquisitor being straight but then he met Dorian." (Of course there's also a lot less-approving posts, but that, unfortunately, should surprise no one.)
I romanced Josephine first time around, which was very sweet and fairy-tale-ish, but I'm going to pursue Cassandra my next time through. I want to say Cassandra and Dorian (especially based on my impression of her from DA2) were the characters that surprised me the most at how much I loved them. I love Iron Bull as well, but just about every review of the game talked about how great he was.
Starting to watch Star Wars: Rebels after spending so much time playing DA:I was a little odd, though. (Freddie Prinze Jr. voices both Bull in DA:I and Kadan on SW:R.)

For some reason I romanced Blackwall, and it's so boring!
I romanced Blackwall before I did the Iron Bull quest, and didn't realize how awesome Iron Bull was.
I'm seriously considering breaking it off with Blackwall and romancing Iron Bull, but I'm afraid how that would effect the storyline.

I don't think it would change that much, but I don't know. I'm deliberately playing a jerky Inquisitor who loves being worshipped right now, and Blackwall blew me off. I wasn't going to be a romance possibility for him anyway, but he is just really mad at me for my big ego and won't even give me information.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Okay, I need to dig into my email and pick up from where I was at, but I'm feeling like I'm good to pick up again. How does the rest of the BSG gang feel?
I'm ready to run the game whenever the crew is up to it.

I got an inordinate amount of joy in my Inquisitor getting to play the part of Mal in "Shindig" (sort of) so I'm sure that colored my perception, somewhat.
I will say, and this has been the constant problem with Bioware romances, is they don't have much effect on the game once the wooing portion of the romance is over. Josephine called my Inquisitor by affectionate names in a couple of non-romance cut scenes, and I could invite her to go make out with me in the garden, but that was about it. Though I did get an amusing little cutscene with Dorian about it, as well.

Will began that quest and immediately said, "I'm alright." Skipped great and good. I do wish there was more to do after the wooing was done. Iron Bull certainly gives you more to work with than Josephine seems to, but I agree that it would be nice for it to have a longer-lasting impact on the game.

I wonder if the companion romances feel like they have more to them because you can travel with the person. I think it would be interesting to find out how Josephine's romance compared to Cullen's.
