30 days of DA: Romance options
Day Fourteen: Character you wish was a romance option
Hands down: Nathaniel Howe.
I understand why they didn't want to further complicate Awakening, a short game that already had a lot packed into it, by adding another layer of complex character interaction options. But how compelling would that romance have been? The proud son of a disgraced noble house meets the person he blames for his family's fall; then he discovers the truth, and they begin to build common ground? Add to that an undeniable attraction, and, well. Sign me up!
My Aeducan really, really wanted the option to at least flirt with him, Alistair or no Alistair, but no dice.
Ah, well. I guess that's what fanfiction is for...

In addition to all you've said above, Nathaniel was written in a way that he just plain gets along well with my 'team good' negotiator warden. A romance would have been natural.

LI or no, Nathaniel becomes my Warden's second in command in pretty much every future I've envisioned so far (although I finished m!Surana's game tonight, and I don't know if he's going to stay with the Wardens for long), and I can see him taking on the command himself eventually. Leadership seems to suit him.
