    I was playing through and hoping to romance Aveline, but apparently I can't. Then why give me the option to flirt? 
     
    Overall really enjoying the game but why?

    Um, BioWare? Isabela, Fenris, Anders and Merrill can be romanced. Also Sebastian from the DLC, but he's only for a female character.

    Generally speaking, I have an innate reflex that prevents me from flirting with people whom I do not wish to marry. It's horrible. :P 
     
    Joking aside, it is a shame. She's one of my favourite BioWare characters.

    The quest where you find that out is absolutely hilarious if you have Varric in your party out the time.

    Also, I saw some flirt options talking to her, didn't use them but I take she just turns you down/gets offended?

    Aveline can't be romanced. I'm kinda disappointed with the lack of options in the game. Total of 4, 5 if you get the Prince DLC. I wanted to bang them all! XD

    Considering that you can sex roughly half your party, man or woman, I don't consider it an especially great loss to not be able to romance Aveline. She's a good tank and an alright character, but would you really want an awkwardly animated sex scene with her? There's the slutty pirate chick, the wide eyed elf girl (who is also a blood mage), the pathos filled elf man, and the pathos filled possessed mage if you want action.

    @ArbitraryWater:  Well, Zevran did offer, and I agreed to take him up on it.  But then Merril (already moved into the estate) coughed very unapprovingly and that was that.  Guessing if your romance partner isn't in the active party, it can work out.

    Only coughed unapprovingly? For me she pretty much told him to shut up.

    If BioWare isn't horrible for making 4 romance options who are available to both sexes, they're horrible for not making every character in the party (and the entire supporting cast) romance options.  Maybe Aveline thinks Hawke is fucking ugly?  Maybe she feels the same way about your come ons as you do about the gay guys hitting on you?   Not everything is a win.

    And really, complaints that they allow you to make an ass of yourself of your own volition is hilarious.  Either people get mad that BioWare does too much handholding for your dialogue, or pissed that they didn't do enough.

    If your romance partner is Isabella, not only can you still take up Zevran's offer, she'll join the party.

    Which is an inverse of the situation in Origins, where Zevran is the party member and Isabella is offering the threesome.

    Aveline gets a kick from being in a protective role.  The men she goes for are.... not weak exactly, but not as strong and capable as she is.  It makes sense that she wouldn't be receptive to Hawke's advances.

    Isabela is actually quite a layered character if you give her a chance.

    I tried getting Merrill and Aveline but wasn't even able to start the romance on either of them.  It's funny because all the other women you meet in the game even Meredith are better looking than those two.

    Weird I tried so FUCKING hard to get him to sleep with me, i had, Had Ander's first playthrough so Fenris was gunna be second but he still wouldn't go for it, even after I had given him his gift and talked to him the way I was supposed too...

    So with Fenris at 100% friend I just cut my losses and flirted it up with everyone else and vastly improved my relationships and fell back in with Anders. XD Old habits die hard.

    @Catolf: hahaha...with Fenris you can't sleep with anyone else for it to work.  So if in Act II you sleep with Isabel you totally miss out with Fenris.  Also...you HAVE to do Questioning Beliefs BEFORE you do The Bitter Pill quest.  So if you didn't do that it won't work.  You also know that your romance is working if Fenris is wearing a red ribbon around his right wrist and a miniature version of your family crest on his waist.  Fenris is the best!  Anders gets annoying after awhile especially in the end.  My second and third playthrough I romanced Fenris...and on my third playthrough I killed Anders.

    @Catolf:   :-/  Yeah, he is very particular...you have to do everything just right through the whole time before Bitter Pill...I only flirted when he wasn't around...I never slept with anyone...and as for the elf I met in Bitter Pill I had her go to my place to be my maid (paid of course).  ahh well...give it another go if you aren't adverse to playing again.  He was definitely my favorite, compared to Anders.
