Well, I hope it's not true that the writers are compromising the companion selection for the sake of romanceability. Which would be, in my view, both creatively disappointing and almost certainly futile, as if characters are well written and engaging then players will want to romance them regardless. I say again ... Garrus.

But, even if that is happening, I don't know why shorter races shouldn't be considered attractive romance options by more than enough players. And while of course love should not be limited by size, my gnome, halfling and dwarf PCs in particular tend not to be naturally drawn to all these galumphing giants and would be more tempted by potential love interests of a proper size.
I agree. There is no reason, shorter races can't be attractive. While I like Halsin, I don't really plan on romancing him, but If Nattie would be our druid companion, I would totally romance her.

I really still hope for Helia.
