Be they companions/party members or NPCs you've just come across in the game and thought 'Ugh, why can I not have my way with that character'. So there are the characters that I would just plain wish were romanceable even long after finishing the games: Sand from Neverwinter Nights 2. ... I actually found Daeghan also from NWN2 quite attractive, but the foster father thing made things awkward Jack from Mass Effect, I wish my femshep could romance her. Nihlus! Also from Mass Effect, he looked and sounded great and then lasted 5 seconds. Cernd from Baldur's Gate 2, the game makers seemed to hate him but long hair tends to always grab my attention. And sometimes it's my characters themselves who decide these things. So far... My Dragon Age: Origins mage decided that she was awfully fond of Ser Perth. She liked Riordan a lot too. And Bann Teagan. In The Old Republic my bounty hunter has taken a liking to a Lieutenant Rutau who persevered despite terrible odds, and a very attractive zabrak called the Eidolon. She also was also fond of Baron Zacar Girard, but I think he had a wife and kid On the other hand my smuggler is awfully fond of a bit of a scoundrel named Skavak.

SWTOR: Oh, how many times have I imagined stabbing Skavak in the friggin’ eyeball?? Many. Many, many. I can understand the appeal, but I just… do not want. Of course, Corso didn’t do a thing for me either. I’d have killed for a romance with Zenith (Jedi Consular). And I wanted a real romance with Lieutenant Pierce (Sith Warrior), but at least I got to use him for revenge on Quinn. (Still haven't gotten over that...) DAO: A fling with Riordan would have been lovely. Especially if it was timed while the dark ritual bit is going on. So much lost potential there. DA2: I’m not a big Cullen fangirl, but I think Hawke should have been able to flirt him up. I liked Varric as he was, but more flirty dialog with him wouldn’t have gone wrong either. He always came across as the kind of friend you could flirt back and forth with and not have to worry about butthurt feelings or awkwardness. BG2: Solaufein. Fallout 3: Harkness! *insert “fully functional” quip here* And I admit it: Charon does it for me. I don’t care that the dude has practically no skin left. Such an absolutely intriguing character. Fallout NV: Yeah, predictable here – Boone. I’m not really the kind to want to fix a guy, but… I wanna fix him so bad. I also really liked The King. Fable 2: I would kill a thousand innocent villagers (or bunnies) for a fling with Reaver. Even if he did ruin my vengeance in the end.

Mass Effect 3: James Vega. A proper romance with him would have made me so happy. I love his personality,his looks and his voice. I love taking him on missions, talking to him between the missions. I love his flirting, his friendship with Cortez and the way he interacts with the rest of the squad makes me smile. He made my Molly playthrough (the closest thing to a canon game for me) bearable. Heck, only that flirty friendship was fine. Then Citadel came along and now I feel dirty thinking about it. I also wish that they hadn't scrapped the Jacob romance in the third game. I actually liked him. :C Miranda, Tali and Jack for a female Shepard would also be swell. (And I'd be fine with Male Shep getting Garrus, Thane and Jacob.)
Dragon age: A short fling with Oghren, especially as a Dwarven Orlesian Warden. And then of course Bann Teagan. I did like Cullen as well, but thinking back on it, I think that anything more might have been too much. I also think I had a brief thing for Sten once...OH! and Nathaniel. And I'd totally romance Carver if we weren't related by blood and all that.
GTA: Vice City: I haven't finished it yet, but for some time I shipped the protagonist and Lance Vance. The first missions between them were so...squee. Perfect fodder for fan-fiction, but I do not mind that it isn't an option.
Saints Row 3/4: I really liked the crush that Female Voice 2 had on Pierce in the 3rd game. It was adorable. Sadly in the fourth game, Female Voice 2 was replaced with a different voice/personality, so that little romance was never completed. It was a bit sad.
Otherwise, I'm pretty content with what I got. I'm actually more interested in other peoples fantasies. Aimo's Varric, Poly-m's Joker and Galagraphia's Cullen for example.

Nathaniel from DAA is a must. I have an unwritten head-canon where my F!Cousland had a thing with him when they were teenagers and that was a (main) reason Arl Howe shipped him off to the Free Marches. Makes for an even more awkward reunion once she's engaged and/or married to Alistair.
Sand in NWN2 would be fun, especially because it seems he would be rather clueless about it. The marshal would be nice too....Cormick? And Bishop....but at least there's a mod for him. A human female for a male pc, also. Not that I've ever played NWN2 as a male but....I'm sure someone did, right?
Definitely Ser Perth and Bann Teagan in DAO.
Any of the companions in the original NWN, especially since it's just the two of you slogging everywhere. The thing with the spy dude didn't really do it for me. In fact, I don't think I even knew a sort of romance existed until I read it online somewhere. That was after I'd played the game several times already.
I'm pretty satisfied with the ME romances but another male option for femShep in 3 would be welcome (hello James).
And, last but not least, Valygar in BG2.

Hmm, this is an interesting topic.
Let's see now.
Riordan, in DA:O. I looove that accent. Excuse me? You're also badass and have dark hair? *melts* Oh, and Cullen, DA:O.
Tommy Undergallows in NWN vanilla. Just..Why wasn't this a thing? Where was the effing romance??
Nathyrra in NWN:HOTU for girls! I mean com'on. She's so lovely.
Thrall for World of Warcraft. WHAT?! Don't look at me like that. I would also settle for any male blood elf. Moon elves are bleh. FTH.
Calem in Pokemon X and Y. I know it's marketed as a kids' game, but a girl can have her fantasies, alright?!
Kivan, BG1.
And my final choice? Tsujatha in every game. <33333333333333333333333333333333333333333

Valygar and Cernd in BG2. Actually any alternative to Anomen. To this day I'm really, really angry that in the vanilla game there are three (very different) options for a male player and only one for females. Come on, it is just unfair. Lucky we have modders:) Canderous Ordo in KOTOR. Definitely. Sand in NWN 2. Jowan and Loghain in DA:O. And last but not least Nathaniel AND Anders in Awakening.

If Geralt switched places with one of the female characters for a few missions: CEDRIC in The Witcher 2; and Aryan La Valette, same game.
Duncan or Loghain in DA:O
Nathaniel Howe in DA:Awakening
Arthas Menethil in Warcraft III, before (and especially when) he went all wacko
Simon Lyonson in A Dance With Rogues
Altair from a female perspective in Assassin's Creed
Lee in the Gothic series
...I can't remember more.

You see this is why mods are so awesome. Dragon Age Roland Gilmore ( done and done ) I agree on the Duncan, Riordan and Ban Teagun fronts ( flirty Cousland is flirty ) Jowan could have been special for an Amel as could have Cullen ( again mods exist ) NwN 1 any of them , I mean really they know your character better than anyone else. The spy master was just to random and hard to romance, yea am I've impressed you by being all task oriented, gee thanks a necklace and then it can disappear from your inventory between chapters. ( eye roll ) ADWR I agree in Simon. I always wondered if the Dorhn you were promised to was him. Bitter sweet goodbye at the wall. NWN2 Again I point to mods Sand, Bishop made to play with due to download Cormick, The " bad boy Knight" oh phooey I can't remember his name the one that can sponsor you if you take the thief route in to black lake. Hello , talking about moral grey areas and going to find a farm girl, you know your new squire is cute and here all alone. And someone please get Neval to loosen up a notch, he is long over due. While we are at it Ophallia needs to hire some men again, she got rid of her male employees when she rebuilt between NWN 1 & 2. BG1 hello mods! Adjantis for someone who was originally written. But this is where I go Mod, Mods , Mods! Gavin is awesome. BG 2 anyone except Anoyaman Mods anyone? Yep Gavin, and now since I a trying EE and my Gavin is stuck in customs, while they research his herb collection. Kelsey has been found. Sola has a mod How about someone get Haer' Dalis running correctly. Oh wait G3 has romantic encounters ( gulp)

Definitely Valygar. And the worst part is, he was intended to be a romance option, but got cut. You can find bits and pieces of his romance dialogue if you go digging with ShadowKeeper. There was an abandoned mod for him, too - one that got a beta but never anything more. Makes me sad. Uncounted numbers of weird, pet-project mods that introduce all manner of special snowflake original characters, and no one's ever bothered to take back up the planned romance for a canon one.

NWN2: Neeshka... she was clearly more fun than that elven treehugger woman whose name I keep forgetting (probably for a reason).
PS:T Full romances for Annah or Fall-From-Grace would have been nice.
Assassin's Creed 4 Mary Read or Anne Bonny
and something unusual: Aida from Unreal 2: The Awakening

How about someone get Haer' Dalis running correctly. What do you mean? This one is complete and functional and if it isn't, please let me know! I can't believe I forgot Canderous Ordo from KotOR (and KotOR2).
