No worries! I've been really scarce around SHS lately, so I wasn't sure if there was an issue I didn't know about.

BG2 - hmm. I know when I first played it I wished I could romance Cernd or Valygar rather than Anomen. It's a shame the Valygar romance was cut.
NWN2 - this is easy for me. Definitely Sand. I couldn't stand Bishop, and Casavir bored me. A romance with a snarky superior elf would have been so much fun.
Dragon Age: Awakening. Nathaniel Howe. It's a shame they couldn't bring him back as a full companion and romance for DA2.
Dragon Age 2 - It's tempting to say Aveline and Varric simply because they were my favourite characters. Still I loved the way Aveline's personal romance was resolved and Varric made a great friendship. Cullen was much more appealing to me in DA2 than he was in DAO, so I might romance him in DAI.
SWTOR - I am not a Corso Riggs hater, but it would have been fun to have Numen Brock, the flirty Twilek you meet in Balmorra, as a companion and romance. And I would have rather have a F/F romance with Vette than with Malavai Quinn with the Sith Warrior, both for spoilerish reasons and for the fact that he sounded like Tony Blair, which I found a massive turn-off. Can't comment on Pierce as I never finished that playthrough.

I forgot BRYNJOLF in Skyrim.
How can I forget Brynjolf in Skyrim.
Also Ondolemar. <3

Yes, I was surprised you didn't mention him. He seems to be just your type of guy:D Yep! The very first godawful fanfic I ever wrote was a romance between him and female Revan. It's hard to think of any writing coming from you as "godawful". LIES AND SLANDER!

Sorry Aeryn , I forgot, haven't installed or played it. Here is a cookie in apology and penance. Get on it woman! Its quite possibly the best (and most complete) romance mod out there.

I've never been a big fan of Haer'Dalis but maybe I'll give him a shot... I mean I gave Anomen a shot. Can only go up from there, right?!

See its funny, I never had any interest in HD. THEN I played the mod. Along with several others, on the same run, totally expecting to call it quits with HD somewhere along the line in favor of one of the others. But HD won me over. It wasn't even a difficult choice. Unexpected but delightful!

Well, before I answer I have to admit to being a multi year lurker on the old Petals and Thorns site.
I always wished the orc NPC barbarian in NWN 1 was a romance option. I can't remember his name to save my life. It has been a decade since I have played it and I probably won't go back.
In BG2 the two I'd have loved to see were Minsc and Keldorn. I always felt so sorry for Minsc after his Dynaheir was killed and I tended to play as a female wizard so that would have been problem solved right there. I know someone was writing a mod to add in a Keldorn romance because I watched that thread develop like a hawk watches a bunny. Anyone know if that ever got off the ground? I got really busy a year ago and decided to check today and I eventually sleuthed up this forum.
In Mass Effect I would have loved to see a more developed romance with Garrus. He had to calibrate so many things. I really couldn't single out another NPC. I had issues with Alenko because he was voiced by the same guy who voiced Carth in KOTOR and that was sort of eerie. Same reason I can't listen to Winnie the Pooh. Voiced by the same guy who voiced Minsc.
In BG I would have asked for Kivan, and I got that mod for BG2 so no complaints there from me. =)
I can't say I have any real love for anything Dragon Age, but the line "swooping is bad" totally ruined any hope I had in Alastair. I never replayed as a male character just because that mandatory 2 hour opening quest line that is unskippable killed it for me. I never played 2 and I probably won't buy 3.

Here's my romance wishlist. Its not very long but it will probably grow eventually when I think of more.
NWN2: Bishop and Sand. I love that evil ranger and Sand takes snarky to a whole other level. Both of them would have made better romances than Casavir who wasn't even really a romance...
Dragon Age 1&2: Cullen and Loghain. I liked the sweet awkward Templar and yes I also liked Loghain to a certain degree. I don't like Alistair much and Loghain makes a pretty good bad guy so he would also in my twisted realm of theory make a good romance.
weepingwillow: I actually looked and found a beta of the Keldorn Romance since you mentioned it...but that's all I could find. Here is a link to the page it was on. Its near the bottom, I hope it works and that you enjoy it.
Here you go!

Speaking of Keldorn, where is Berelinde? I really miss her on this board. And I'm anxious to hear how the Fallen Paladin is going;)

SWTOR: Ohoho my character who went for Skavak isn't exactly the err most pleasant type of person anyway (she heals people and puts cybernetic implants in them while doing so, people are tools to her) but he mainly caught her interest because the man was just so good at getting away. It really helps that she is quite detached and so doesn't hold grudges/want revenge. I can completely understand how he irks so many people. Funny thing is Corso annoyed me a lot more than Skavak ever did. Oh! I certainly agree about Zenith from what I've seen of him. Really there were so many NPCs that I passed by in SWTOR and would have loved to have the chance to let my characters flirt with. And some of the few options that female characters did have for flirting are just... what were they thinking? (I've seen a list, it's insulting how many male characters have compared to female in every class). I would have much preferred Numen Brock to Corso too, siiighh. I agree with Jowan ( there could have been such conflict!) and of course Nathaniel and Anders from Awakening (Awakening Anders! So different from DA2 Anders) too. - Actually what you mentioned reminds me of something weepingwillow. I can't recall ever actually seeing the old PnT boards advertised/mentioned elsewhere, as far as I know most or a fair number of people came across it... simply through googling problems/things about Valen from NWN:HotU. So aside from the email that Myn was kind enough to send out to everyone redirecting them, there was nowhere that I could actually put something up saying we'd moved (best I could do was find the old PnT DA page and post a comment there mentioning it). So how were you able to refind this place, was it through the email that was sent out? Also regarding Berelinde, I did actually send her an email myself letting her know about this place a little bit after it started (because I know at least one or two people didn't get the one Myn sent out for whatever reason) but got no response. I didn't want to be pushy and bother her but since I know she is active at a number of forums and has quite a few mods I'm guessing she's just busy You guys can probably find her on the SHS or G3 boards though.

I just hunted for the Keldorn Romance Mod. I found it odd all that turned up was a beta test from g3. Then I googled Petals and Thorns after my bookmarked link failed and found this site because it google picked up on a post with petals and thorns in the text.
