Calling it now: Dorian and Iron Bull will not be love interests as the only interest they have in love is the love they share for each other.
The new trailer fades to black just before Dorian gives in and buries his face between Iron Bull's trapezius muscles.

I'd settle for that. ;D
Actually Mark Darrah tweeted today that the game will have a mix of straight, bi and gay love interests.
Is this the tweet in question?
"
@TheEdibleDragon @Mike_Laidlaw there are gay characters, bi characters, and hetro characters"
I don't want to be rude or argumentative and tone is hard to convey over the internet, but he did not say love interests, he said characters. As far as I can tell that means we are still unware of LI status.
(Unless there's a diffrent tweet that I did not read. Which is certianly possible!)
Is this him?

Who, Dorian? No, that's not him,

That's the Inquisitor. You can tell, because of the hat. Dorian wouldn't take the attention away from his Fabulous moustache 
Am I the only one thinking that Inquisitor mage picture is awful?
I mean it looks like the head is too big and has been badly photoshopped.

It's the perspective, stance, and the fact that, post DAO, the male human models are top heavy. They should have lowered the camera or chosen any stance but that one.

He did indeed say "characters", but I interpreted that as "LI's" because of the article EdibleDragon's question referred to.
Dat hat tho.

That makes sense, I did not see the context the tweet was refering too.
All the same, I will wait until the devs confirm who can and cannont be romanced by what and who. Thank you for the extra info.

Over-analysing the words in dev tweets is probably a bad idea, Mark almost certainly wasn't thinking about the language he was using as much as we would. and unless you asked him I don't think it's possible to know what he meant by "characters".
Cameron Lee does the same thing in this interview, and if I had to do a bit of over-analysing myself I'd say it's because not all the LIs are companions, so "characters" works as a broad term.
AusGamers: Can you tell us more about the Romance options that were lightly detailed at PAX East recently?
Cameron: I can speak to it generally... the romances are more complex both in type of romances going forward and how you go through that romance. The different types of sexual orientation of the different kinds of characters around you is also more complex than in previous games. I think there's going to be a lot more realistic... realistic... you know what I mean -- anyway, more engaging and more involved than in previous games. That's definitely the goal, and we are definitely going to go out there with some characters just being one sexual orientation. And that previously wasn't the case. The real world reflects that so we're going to make a game that reflects that as well. But the details of how the mechanics and how those relationships work Mike Laidlaw or David Gaider would know more.
Dat hat tho.
If only the face wasn't shadowed, dammit
I am going to put DHMG in that hat and he will look gloriously ridiculous.

Well, I hadn't see that post and that certianly isn't ambigious at all. Thanks for drawing my attention towards it.
Please make him a bi. That will settle everything.
(it's from here, btw - spoilers for Inquisition inside, Cameron says some things we haven't heard elsewhere much)

What kind of mage do you guys think he is? Healer? Blood mage? None? Both?

I'm hoping we can make any mage any kind of mage. That way I can use whoever I want based on their personality.
I'm hoping he's either a Battle mage (Knight enchanter as it is now i guess) or a healer. There is something about a powerful arcane master using his powers to heal rather than destroy that i rather like.

Considering the other specializations are Necromancer or Force Mage, I'm guessing healing is a standard skill tree now. He could be a KE given his sword in the concept art. But, going by the survey, he's out to remove the corruption from Tevinter, Necromancer/Blood Mage is out. I dunno, we'll see.

Possibly, although it might be nice to see a reasonable and intelligent Blood Mage/Necromancer, underlining the fact that while the branch of magic is dark and increases the chance of corruption in a mage, it is ultimately a tool and weapon. It just requires a more advanced wielder.

I'm a fan of the theory that he is primarily a healer. A Tevinter Magister, one of those feared warriors of the arcane, infamous for letting their selfish lust for power and personal gain drive them to the darkest of arts and the most evil of actions... who uses his power instead to selflessly aid, restore, and mend. It'd be quite the subversion, and fitting for his character trait of "delighting in not being what you expect".

Ideally, I'd rather companions have their own specializations as they were in DA2, it helped define the character a little more.
Perhaps he is a battle mage who focuses on aiding and sustaining his allies health and endurance in combat, conjuring healing auras, magical shields that absorb enemy damage, and enchanted weapons.
Yes, I like that. Lets go with that.
