DA:2 Romance whinge
So, I'm playing the game, and I'm really digging it. I love the new combat system (though my rogue!Hawke could stand to turn fewer somersaults, and also, why such a long cooldown on healing potions omg?!), I'm enjoying the side quests, I like that it has less a sense of overall urgency than DAO, and while I do have some complaints, they're relatively few.
But there's this one thing that's going to break my heart.
The only companion I've met so far that I want to romance is Varric!
Aveline is terrific, but I can't really see a Rogue/Captain Of The Guard romance. She's just a good friend.
Fenris is so emo, and also hates mages, which, MY SISTER, YOU ASSHOLE. So just NO. He's lucky I can't try to kill him.
Anders is also emotastic, and he's not half so adorable and charming in this one. I mean, he's nice enough, I guess, and go him for helping people in his clinic, but he doesn't set the romance bytes aflutter.
Isabella is smokin' hot, but again, she just doesn't interest me that much. Though good on her for freeing the slaves.
And Merril is cute as kittens, but...well, she's cute as kittens. Kittens also do not make the pixelated pulse race.
But VARRIC! OMG! He's funny, smart, savvy, badass with that crossbow, and altogether awesome! SO WHY NO ROMANCE OPTION??!!!? *cries and cries*
I'm sort of hoping that the Exiled Prince will provide a possible romance option that's more compelling than Varric, but honestly, I doubt it can. Because VARRIC!
ETA: Apparently there are more spoilers in the comments now! I don't know what kind, because I got as far in reading the comment notification as "ZILLAH, DON'T READ THIS" and back-buttoned out fast as I could. But be aware!
