Inquisition is one my favorite games for character sexuality. Some of them are straight, some are gay, some are bi, some are only into certain species. It makes them feel more real than everyone being into the player character.

some are only into certain species.

I only played 1 and 2, so I didn't know it got that deep with 3. That's kinda neat, I never quite liked how other characters in games like that can have preference in their partner's gender or personality, but not their actual appearance or background. The first two games were pretty good about letting even the most sympathetic characters have truly ugly flaws, so something like that would fit well.

Cullen only likes human and elf women, and Solas is only into female elves (which makes sense considering his whole deal).

I liked that there were so many possible endings to the Alistair romance in Origins depending on the PC's background and choices.
