Forgive me if this has been asked but from the demos and other sources do we know relatively how early we will be able go get Dorian once we begin the game? From the Pax demo the character selection screen only had a few cards but since we have optional characters we can pick up I'm curious on how early we can obtain the ones we want for our main party.

But my guess it will be relatively early. But that's all about it.

Pretty early if the combat video is anything to go by. Dorian was shown to be a 'level 4 mage' in that one so he's at least one of our earliest recruitable companions.

I'm guessing it will be relatively early, since Dorian is needed to tell us about the Venatori.

I'm curious about how he going to introduce himself to and maybe the party. Cassandra likely wouldn't trust Dorian right off the back. Maybe he just say " I'm here to set things right. Also? To look dashing. That part's less difficult.". Then watch him bring the Venatori while held at sword point by Cassandra. Then he just takes or calls the chair and sits in it.

I guess Cassandra, Varric and Vivienne are first three we get to meet then the 4th companion will be Dorian. (Or he can be 4th depending on if we can choose who to recruit first).

Actually, I would guess Vivienne to be a late comer. She won't join us until the Inquisition has started to make waves and made something of a name for itself. I would guess Solas to be the first mage to join. He gets on the move as soon as the Breach happens.

Nah, Vivienne throws us a party when the Inquisition is fully formed/started to be famous. I think the first will be Solas, very early, to teach us how to use our power.

No idea about Cole or Dorian , but the devs have said you can't miss companions this time .

 

Cool.

The devs didn't say you can't miss companions.

 

They said it would be much more obvious when a quest or other story arc is going to lead to a new companion.

 

(Unlike, say, Fenris, who turned up in the middle of another random quest.)

Meh, I'll be glad when the specific info on how to recruit Dorian is readily known.  I sort of want to play the game a bit blind, but some things are just not worth the risk.  Must have Dorian early as possible.   :D   If the info isn't out by the release of the game though, I guess I won't have much choice.   :wacko:

We already know too much. Like, (SPOILERS I GUESS) I did NOT wanna know about Haven, about small NPCs in Skyhold, The Elder One, Venatori deets, Avvar being in the game, the glowing hand as to why we are the fade breacher/closer... I KNOW TOO MUCH. I did not need to know who the big boss was or who is working for them or any of that. TMI. BW always does this - they release wayyyyy too much info. IDC if they say it's all out of context and made to look a certain way - that's so not true because ewoihrgohauigo;i. This is me being a hypocrite because I want to stay on the Dorian thread but I see info on here and I should be gone by now until I play the damn game. /rant

 

So, no. nononononononono I do not wanna know when Dorian pops up. I want to pop up in a point where I might expect to see him or when I won't AND THE BEAUTY OF IT IS THAT I WILL NOT KNOW. I already know way too much inadvertently. Just play as a completionist and you'll find him. I never missed getting any companion in any BW game because I do every single quest possible and run around every location to see if I missed something twice or thrice. ;) Just do that and you won't have to worry.

As I said more then a few pages back I am so happy I got the Strategy Guide :)
I do think we can get Dorian before we leave Haven the latest trailer when he is explaining about the Venatori , to me it looks like a run down meeting place . Kind of like what Haven would look like after ten years and a massive explosion lol!

You are the master of the rant!  Many will claim to know what it is to go on about something, and other may claim to express themselves a little too freely...but you will always know the truth.  You have mastered the art.  ;)  -hugs-

 

I know what you mean though, it's hard to walk the line between too many spoilers and not enough.  For me, I haven't hit my limit yet I guess.

I don't think that they'll say exactly when we'll recruit Dorian. Though speculations based on what they've shown so far might lead you to not be surprised about it.
Still, the only one we know for sure when we'll meet her is Cassandra. Even for Solas and Varric, which I think will be the early 'forced' recruitments, we don't know when we'll really meet them.
I agree though that from E3 they released a ton of info. Though they did say that the E3 demo will be spoiler.
I really didn't expect them to be more clear on the Elder one on Gamescon though.

Yeah, same. He's the companion I'm most excited about so I plan to recruit him as early as I possibly can. The Enemy of Thedas trailer (if that's the point we recruit him) makes it look like he might not be easily missable. Cullen was accompanying the Inquisitor when Dorian was divulging information about the Venatori. It could be one of those priority quests that tie into the main story.

Okay I had the funniest dream about DA:I last night and I just wanted to tell you guys here:

 

Spoiler

 

I'm pretty sure the meaning behind it is me being scared of being disappointed with it but it was so fricking hilarious I am laughing right now whilst typing it up.

Lmao, thanks! I feel so complimented! hughughug

 

I feel like I hit it yonks ago. I muted and skipped half of the Enemy of Thedas trailer BUT I STILL SAW TOO MUCH. I just found out too much about ME2, DA2 and ME3 before release. Even DA:O was pretty bad.

I am glad that we don't know that much about the companions, tbh. I think we've gotten ample info on them. Kinda wished Dorian's quest wasn't in that demo, though. "Felix... ?! Maker's breath, Alexius WHATHAVEYOUDONE?!?" always pops into my head lol.

Wait, they didn't say that every companion is missable, though... did they? He looks like he walks straight up to your door or something from that. Or maybe investigating the Venatori is a side quest???

That is hilarious. xD I'm so jealous of your dream game-time. And all I can think of is the Wardens in The Calling saying "All dreams mean something." And Maric rolling his eyes.

I've actually been addicted to mind-numbing games to the point of having Bejeweled-like dreams in the past @_@ ... yours sounds much more entertaining.

But be still, my darling! Dorian yet awaits your manquisitor. (;

Haven't they said the levels for demos and things are pretty messed up just to show the parts they want to?
