Can you Romance More Than One Inquisition?
In Dragon Age: Inquisition, one of the most frequently asked questions is whether players can romance more than one inquisitor. This query has sparked a significant debate among fans, leading us to delve into the nuances of the game’s relationship system.
Flirting with Multiple Characters
It’s essential to acknowledge that you can flirt with as many characters as you like in the game. There’s no limit on how many characters you can hit on, and NPCs won’t judge you (as harshly) for pursuing multiple romantic interests.
- Flirt Points System: Each character has its unique flirt points, and when you engage with them, you earn a score. This score measures the level of your interactions with them, from simply exchanging pleasantries to pursuing romantic relationships.
- Relationship Progression: If you continue to chat and flirt with a particular character, your relationship level increases, unlocking new scenes and storylines.
However, when it comes to commitment, things get murkier. You can have multiple romantic interests at different stages of the relationship. This means you may be exploring a romantic encounter with one character while pursuing platonic interactions with another. Ultimately, the game leaves you with the decision as to who you want to deepen your connection with and in which direction.
A New Development: Multi-Partner Options
The arrival of Dragon Age: The Origins brought a new revelation that sheds light on our central question. According to gameplay lore, Qunari can now accept as partners those not sharing their bloodline except for the Inquisitor, if they’re eligible for the role.
With this development, our minds have been blown – if you’re playing a Qunari Inquisitor, you can in theory date multiple partners at different times, regardless of race! This twist in gameplay adds a layer of excitement to the already nuanced exploration of relationships in DA.
Romancing a Partner in DA: Who are the Options?
There are eight eligible party members, each with a rich storyline and potential relationship tracks:
- Iron Bull: The legendary soldier from the Warcasters and a charming love interest for both male and female Inquisitors.
- Solaine Ambrose: A Templar agent with a questionable agenda, open to flirtings with both sexes, depending on the gender you’ve chosen for the Inquisitor.
- Josephine Montgomery: The cunning and experienced Saxon diplomat, preferring partners with a more gentle demeanor, regardless of race or gender.
- Varric Tethras: The notorious sellsword and infamous con artist, open to same-gender relationships and witty repartee.
- Cassandra Pentaghast: The stubborn yet beautiful Seeker General with a penchant for mystery, interested in the more daring and adventurous Inquisitor, regardless of sex.
Each character has a unique set of rom-com potential, which aligns with their in-game character developments.
- To create the perfect love, navigate through the relationships cautiously
The catch comes once relationship commitment is requested by both partners. Until the commitment is accepted by your Inquisitor partner(s), you’ll forever be in polyandry – which makes things complicated!
| Options and Potential | Availability |
- Male Inquisitor | Solaine, Josephine, Cullian, Dorian | All eligible, varying sexual orientation
- Female Inquisitor | Solaine, Josephine, Iron Bull, Cassius | All eligible, varying sexual orientation

Qunari Inquisitor No partner available, as part of their unique lore mechanics; exception: can court, not marry, all parties mentioned above Keep in mind that only four party members have in-depth storylines with love subplots: Solaine Ambrose, Josephine Montgomery, Iron Bull, and Cassandra Pentaghast.
In conclusion, if we carefully analyze the system presented by Dragon Age: Inquisition, it can be argued that you technically can romance more than one inquisitor; however, it demands extreme attention to character storytelling, consent, and mutual acceptance of commitment.
Romance more than one party member at your own discretion? Or will you prefer exclusivity with a cherished few? The choice rests within the realm of possibility!
