I'd go after Avelline or Varric in Dragon Age 2. Isabella isn't for me but that's more to do with her greed being personally responsible for hundreds of deaths. I still like her a thousand times better than Merril or Fenris.
Seriously though, at no point in Star Wars was in implied that Princess Leia has STD's. Not even in the version I keep in my private drawer.

Well, intelligence is a big word. What Star Trek did was explore situiations and how human being would react to it. For example, how would you make Data act more like a human being? How far would you go you uphold the prime directive, would you let a planet die to uphold it? All that stuff. Star Wars is science fantasy, it doesnt focus on the debates as much and its the story of a group of heroes going on a adventure across the stars. Now im not saying Star Trek doesnt have cool characters, they do. But the Star Wars characters are on a journey while the Star Trek characters go exploring if you can follow me. Agreed

Another thing to consider: variety is the spice of life. Also consider how poorly Leia has aged compared to Deanna Troi or Dr. Beverly Crusher... not to mention Tasha Yar, Ro Laren, Seven of Nine... see where I'm going with this? Quality AND quantity.

Not even in the version I keep in my private drawer. Fresh off a recent replay of the game here. I wanted Aveline to be available to romance. It was actually pretty clever to make it possible to flirt with her and have her be oblivious or flat out ignore it. Isabella and Merrill are both pretty awful people and worse characters. Anders is a horrible person who happened to be a great character. Sorry, I know you liked him Buch but his shenanigans in act III are unforgivable regardless of motive. A good character though, as in fairly well written. Fenris...too EMO.

Merrill wasn't that bad, but her foolishness cost her. Isabella was hot, but kind of annoying. Anders was not his snarky self I so enjoyed in Awakenings. Varric was awesome.

Merrill was that bad. Anyone who plays with that much fire while doused in that much gasoline is asking for it. She gets a lot of people hurt in the course of her storyline and everyone told her she was being an idiot while she was doing it. It's one thing for your hubris to kill you but to bring your entire tribe down as well...well fuck her.

Linda/s I would actually agree with you about my main man Anders. Great character, but as a person - he's a mass murderer. Before that moment (which I still argue is ridiculously out of character) I thought he was a great person.
Regarding the intergalactic chick rating contest - quality and quality would be idea. Only Mass Effect offers the space voyeur this kind of freedom! I like Tali.

Well the tribe dying was because the idiots didn't know how to listen. Also might have been the boss lady's fault for not telling anyone what her plans were or what she'd been allowing. Therefore all the clan knew was she went in, and Hawke came out.

Merril was just.... she would have been okay if, at the end after her inevitable accidental manslaughter, she had learned something. She was just this unpleasant character who did dangerous things out of sheer arrogance for 40 hours, and then felt bad about it twenty minutes before the end.

Andorian, Vulcan, Romulan, Orion, Bajoran, Trill, (some) Klingon, Betazoid, Deltan, random chicks from races we see only once (like Famke Jannsen's character from TNG), etc.

The only reason the demon was contained by the Keeper was because of Merrill. At the end she learned nothing. Took responsibility for nothing. She acted like a spoiled arrogant know it all brat the whole time. I really can't take her side here. At all.

Iron -- Here we will have to simply disagree. Star Trek seems like the least sexy of all possible universes to me. Everyone is hard at work on their space engineering things, everyone is wearing plain, unflattering jumpsuits, nobody persues relationships at all except as some sort of comical or adorable side-plot between work things, and when they do it consists of chuckling adorably as you kiss Riker of all people in his grey, prison-like, utterly charmless unlocked quarters before being interrupted by your boss who needs you to talk to him about plotting a course for the Planet of the Analogues For a Social Moral Dilemma around a grey, empty table, whereupon your relationship is put on a back burner for another ten episodes. And then occasionally all of this tension demands to be seen in the form of the Borg queen and some guy quite rightly sees it as a little creepy and breaks its neck so that he can get back to a purely platonic relationship with a lady in a wool cardigan he met earlier during his job.
Star Trek is the my parents of science-fiction sexiness.

Things tend to get WAYYY hotter when you're in deep uncharted space, however.

What about Risa where even Ferengi get laid? Ferengi of all people! TBh most of the Star Wars sexiness comes from the EU comics and books. I mean look at ¨Darth Talon. Dunno bout you but i would go to the dark side to put my light sabre into...wait, light sabres dont have a sheath. Damn....THIS JOKE IS OVER! Also Bastila Shan is pretty damn hot in her British/Jennifer Hale kinda way...hmmm...Jen Hale... As for DAII i went with Merril because of the accent and her mannerisms reminded me a little of tali. But yeah what she does is pretty damn stupid. REALLY stupid. Same goes for Isabella, though my Aeducan enjoyed her company in DAO before he setteld with Morrigan...who then ran away and broke his heart....YOU BITCH! I would've loved to romance Aveline, i got a tihng for women who can beat the snot out of you. Explains why i picked my GF now i think bout it. As for Anders....well that is a other can of worms i dont like to open here. I can see why he did the thing in Act III. DO i support it, not really but do i see why he did it? Yes. Though i got to admit i wish he was a bit looser like he was in Awakening, though i blame Just Ice for that though.

Though if we wanna talk dark side... Alora and Tavion aren't that bad (though some of their dialog was atrocious; I blame the writers for going saturday morning villain feels).
