He tries to downplay stuff that's been revealed to be true before. I think he just doesn't like people making assumptions (even if they turn out to be true).
I've noticed that, too, so I'm not over reading into it. I'm just generally a worrier.

Yep. Debunking one misapprehension doesn't really tell us about anything else.
I wouldn't read too much into it, frankly.

I think he just likes to calm the fandom flames to insure nothing has a chance of getting out of control.

With regard to how children are trained, so far as we know they are taken into the Circles for training but it is probably what I term an "open" Circle in that you still keep contact with your parents. It may also be that this is more for the children of non mage parents, who naturally wouldn't be able to train their children themselves. Then it would seem that a group of apprentices are put under the care of a senior mage. When Rhys was in Tevinter he was set upon by a group of apprentices to a Magister, who were also nobility. Rhys used magic in retaliation and even though he was also badly injured in the ensuing battle, the Magister made official complaint to the Consulate and Rhys had to be sent back home. Feynriel also writes about witnessing magical battles between opposing parties in the streets. So it is probably a normal occurrence, even if there are guards who are meant to police and prevent it. May be the Magisters secretly encourage it as a way of spotting the more ambitious and able ones - since they both avoid arrest and return unhurt.
So it could be entirely possible that Alexius trained his own son as one of his apprentices and Dorian was another.

Somebody should send that amazing Dorian/Viv/Scribe Lady picture to David Gaider too, if it hasn't been done already!

Yep, the Imperial Circle sounds quite open from the sound of it. Agreeing with a lot of your speculation. Magic is quite differently handled there from what we've seen in the games so far.
from World of Thedas: Imperial Circles, in contrast to the Circle of Magi, are places of honor where the art of magic is celebrated and freely passed down to young mages. Attendance at a Circle in Tevinter is not mandatory. It is a privilege.
I really love all of the Dorian fanart, all! Great work Ymirr

David Gaider's post worries me, because I really want Dorian to be available for m/m romance. I realize it doesn't mean he isn't, but just
Why m/m only? Why can't the ladies have access too?

Well if Dorian is an LI, and 2/2/2 is the real route that leaves Cullen and Iron Bull as the other male LI options

Well that sucks. The first time I'm interested in a male mage, and he will be unavailable to my female Inquisitors.

That is unless Iron Bull only ends up being a fling, and Solas takes his spot

The possibility that Dorian and Solas could both be LIs makes me positively giddy

Not interested in Solas in that way. Rather have Iron Bull than Solas.

True, but I have a terrible track record with this game so far.

Couldn't it be 2/4/2? Was 2/2/2 officially confirmed?
Cullen, Scribbles - Straight
IB, Cassandra, Dorian, Vivienne - Bi
Solas, Sera - Gay
It could go something like that, no?
That being said, I still think it's more likely he'll be the male-only option.

I meant to add if into that post, it still could be 2/4/2
I doubt they'll make both NPCs straight and both elves gay

I can see them making both NPCs straight but the elves yeah I agree, far more likely to be Dorian..
