My goal is to complete at least one playthrough with each romance, though, so hopefully I can find the right Hawkes for each of them eventually. unfortunately for Anders, who will probably find himself dumped again. My rogue!Hawke is a playboy and a bit of a cad. I'm redoing a playthrough in which I originally partially completed both Anders' and Isabela's romance arcs, though.

I don't dislike any of the other romance options, but Anders just has too many red flags for me, Merrill doesn't seem mature enough for a real relationship, and Isabela's romance arc just kinda feels off (although I keep thinking of her as the female equivalent of DAO's Zevran, so I may not be evaluating her romance arc entirely on its own merits.) Rise to power and fight epic battles while making decisions that determine the course of civilization. Fenris has a hard time showing his emotions, but it's the little bits of dialogue that show how much he really does care. You’re Hawke, a refugee seeking to escape the darkspawn-plagued land of Felderen and become Champion of Kirkwall.


Of all Hawke's companions, he and Sebastian feel the most believable to me, and while I do like Sebastian, he comes off as a little too much of a Prince Charming type. He's the reason I have even been able to attempt multiple DA2 playthroughs.
