How Many Romances Can You Have in Dragon Age: Inquisition?
Introduction
In the world of Dragon Age: Inquisition, romance plays a significant role in shaping the Inquisitor’s personality and relationships. One of the most iconic features of the game is the ability to build romantic connections with various companions. So, just how many romances can you have in Dragon Age: Inquisition?
Roles and Limitations
In Inquisition, there is no definitive cap on the number of romance relationships you can form. However, there are roles associated with each companion’s romance:
- Primary love interest: Can be romanced by players of any gender (except the companion’s native gender)
- Secondary love interest: Can only be romanced by players of specific genders (example: an elf can be romanced by a female elf player, not a male elf player)
- Exotic love interest: Unlocked via specific story events and playstyles; can be romanced by players regardless of gender
Here’s a rough breakdown of the various romance opportunities:
| Character | Primary / Secondary / Exotic Romance |
|---|---|
| Iron Bull | Secondary (male to female; female to bi/bisexual) |
| Varric | Primary (bisexual to any gender) |
| Dorian | Secondary (male to gay; female to omnisexual) |
| Solas | Exotic (female elves to elves) |
| Cole | Exotic (neutral to omnisexual; no love interest) |
Romancing Multiple Characters
Contrary to previous Dragon Age titles, Inquisition allows for multiple, simultaneous love interests. Here’s what you need to know:
- While you can romance multiple companions, choosing one exclusive partner for a relationship limits the affection meter for all other potential romantic interests.
- Forcing choices between multiple interests will require breaking off relations with companions, leading to bittersweet (or not) departures.
Romance Dynamics and Endgame
As you navigate love interests in the game, romantic relationships evolve, and some conclude in beautiful, dramatic fashions. After the epilogue, outcomes rely on the Inquisitor’s party composition and player relationships (e.g., married companions still care for your in-game "ex").
Remember that there are no long-term companion relationships outside romantic love interest. All bonds dissolve (or evolve, when applicable).
Conclusion
Now, you have a better understanding of Dragon Age: Inquisition’s romance complexities. While roles and limitations initially restrict interactions, the game offers depth and creativity in building interpersonal connections. Weigh the joy of exploring companions’ personalities versus the emotional sacrifice of choosing one sole love interest.
