- For the romance in other games, see Romance (Origins) and Romance (Dragon Age II).
In Dragon Age: Inquisition, the Inquisitor of either gender and any race can pursue a romance. Unlike in Dragon Age: Origins and Dragon Age II, where it was possible to romance only the companions, Inquisition offers romantic interests for companions as well as non-companions, namely advisors. Inquisition has almost twice the romance options of Dragon Age II and exactly two times the romance options of Dragon Age: Origins. Some romances are restricted by gender and/or race.[1]The Inquisitor is not able to marry their romanced companion due to the chaotic state the world of Thedas is in.[2] A female elven Inquisitor has a total of six romance options, a female human has five, while all other gender/race combinations have four.

- Vivienne can be flirted with though she will always turn the Inquisitor down.
- Lace Harding can be occasionally be flirted with when new areas are unlocked, eventually she will confront the player at Skyhold, and ask them about their intentions. The player can choose to confess feelings for Harding or say the flirting was simply playful banter, if the player confesses their feelings Harding and the Inquisitor enter a relationship together and her greetings at Skyhold will change. If the Inquisitor enters into a romance with another character, Harding and the Inquisitor's relationship will go back to being strictly professional.
