To be fair we know very little about the Tevinter culture other than the bad. It's kind of like how the Qunari culture sounded... restrictive to an extreme and simply war-like up until Sten told us more. His description of the capital was beautiful, in fact! So while Dorian does like some parts of his homeland, as I would hope he does to want to redeem it rather than just dust his hands of it, I don't feel we can really take too many guesses on what he likes about it just because our knowledge of Tevinter is of only the bad.

Well, he was announced as "the Redeemer". ![]()

He's a very pretty Qunari Inquisitor. I might consider playing one if he could have that face. ![]()

Dorian in the Gameplay video today:

I agree. If we can make them look not so...butch? (I lack the vocab necessary to expand upon this)... I'd abandon my initial m!Elf/Dorian pairing for an m!Qunari/Dorian pt. We haven't seen much of the male Qunari options & the female has a very severe facial shape in the demo. I love the look, just not visually with Dorian if I can't soften it a bit.

I really want to do a human mage for my first playthrough with Dorian and then I'm hoping I can do a male elf archer and romance Solas, but I would maybe consider doing a third run with a Qunari inquisitor for whichever I end up liking more if I can make them more like this depiction. I'm just worried they'll all look harder, like Iron Bull or the DA2 ones, which doesn't really appeal to me.

It's interesting to know that some of the skill trees are going to be individually elemental based; Inferno and Winter. I wonder if there's a lightning based school too.

Meaning he'll be one of the first recruits to find? Hells yeah!
Dorian would probably be my main healer... but he makes shooting lightning at demons look so good...

Yeah, my Inquisitor and Dorian will probably switch around, come to think of it.
So yeah, I'll be pretty stoked if Dorian would be among the first to join the Inquisition, is all.

Honestly, I really hope we can find all the companions early. The sooner, the better. I hate late recruits. They never end up being memorable for me. Legion in ME makes me so sad. He's easily among my favorite concepts and you get him so late in the game. Ideally, I wish you could get them all in at least the first third of the game at the latest and you could mostly choose who to go for first.

Hopefully Dorian will be recruited early on. It seems likely since they have made hints that the scene from the E3 demos happen earlier in the game before you come into power as the inquisitor. Or something to that effect...meh it's hard to keep all the info straight sometimes..or gayly forward....

It also depends on if the plot develops linearly or radially. We know there is like a half-way point where Bad Stuff Happens, but before that, unless it's linearly organized, you might be able to get all the companions you want earlier rather than later.
Side note: I'm getting Disney villain vibes from Dorian's new party icon... I don't know what to feel about that.

Since they said there are no dedicated healers this time, he can probably do both. I'd rather shoot lightning at fools though xD
He is a necromancer, although you probably want to avoid having him resurrect you in the first place.

I'd like and actually expect we can pick and choose to recruit some people first but I wonder if it's an actual pick and choose, or like in DAO where the difficulty levels really discouraged people from going to Orzammar early.
That seems likely since the enemies don't scale and different areas will be much harder to explore through. Though I'm hoping most of the companions are recruit-able early on.

I don't mind the current icons as it's a refreshing change from the photo-snapshots from Dragon Age: Origins and Dragon Age 2.
However, I did like the artistic simplicity of the old ones just a tad better. They were like personalised logos. I was inspired to create something similar for my characters (not just my Dragon Age player-characters, though).

Where can the icons be seen? I've looked in the videos but I really would prefer a screenshot ![]()
