Yes! There are hardly any fdom relationships in games. In DAI the blackwall relationship was perfectly set up for it but the devs chickened out and gave him control. The best way for me to enjoy romances is to live through the npc instead of my own character!

Cass could've been bi or more dom obviously but I did think the baddass warrior/storybook romance crossover was cute. Realisticly she should've been "person who can pricess carry me" sexual. I refuse to believe she wouldnt have been gay for my fem qunari.

I havent been able to play much of it because of computer issues but the romances seem to be well done. None of the romances fall for you immediatly or out of no where. They all have unique personalities and well defined dynamics with rook. I actually flirted with some of the guys too which basically never happens for me, a lesbian.

the biggest criticism of the game is the writing. but it isnt bad like some say, its inconsistent. The major storylines and character arcs are very well done, from what I've seen, 40% ish through. BUT, there is some ultra cringe dialogue sprinkled into things like one off minor npc interactions, and the anime thing of repeating what just happened in the plot.

people are harsh on it because it has mistakes and they focus on that, but if you focus on what it does well, it does that better than most games do.

plus there is an actually good trans storyline! its clearly written by trans people or with trans oversight. its very realistic in how the egg talks about themself and how they process their emotions.
