I am excited about Dorian appearing, I'm sure he'll be able to use his mage staff to open up rifts.

My Inquisitor hears that, In Tevinter, magisters use their slaves to take care of their long staves.Dorian will prove a valuable asset to the Inquisition, surely.

I heard that Dorian is a necromancer, I'm sure he'll be able to...raise my Inquisitor up...from the dead.

I'm sure Dorian will thrust the Inquisitor with his magic.

I fear that if my Inquisitor supports traditional Tevinter values, Dorian might...stand up against him.

 

I am both fascinated and disgusted by those puns.

The DAI stuff won't appear on the keep before DAI's release. Their falling about avoiding spoilers is related to the fact that They don't want us to see spoilers if We Check the Keep after we start playing the game.

 

The Keep content is not choices.

 

We don't get to pick things about Inquisition in the Keep - it only uploads the decisions you made in Inquisition.

 

So people won't be seeing anything unless they've already made that choice in the game.

Then I don't see why they'd talk about developing a way to making it spoiler free, if the things we do in DAI will be uploaded only when we already made them.
Though I didn't say we'd pick the choices for DAI in the keep.

November 18th will be the last time anyone ever heard of me. This is gonna be me during that cold winter.

Sister: Hey let go to see a movie or eat out or just go anywhere but this this cozy little room of yours.

Me: Sorry sis. I have a date with my virtual boyfriend today. We're gonna decorate his room and he's gonna tell me all about his hometown. And hopefully we will go further than that.... You'll have fun.  ;)

Well...for me it has to be blonde, maybe strawberry blonde. But, the real question is mustache or no mustache? Do I want double fuzzy mustache kisses? :wub:

Maybe the Inquisitor and Dorian can hold mustache contests? See whose stache is the most glorious, one for performance and for looks ;)

UMFG ALLAN ON #TEAMDORIAN

 

Indeed.  I'm not really a fan of zombies, but judging by how difficult this game can get sometimes, it might be useful to have Dorian around to create expendable meatshields from time to time.  Tbh Necromancer sounds like the most useful spec for an NPC mage, although Rift Mage might also be decent...

 

Actually, I might have Dorian learn more Spirit than I had planned... since Necromancers use spirit based magic...

 

Zombies CREEP ME OUT. I hate them in every game. Slowly shambling towards you... in hordes... NO THANK YOU. However, used against my enemies? Dorian, COME OVER HERE YOU CREEPY MAN HUE HUE.

 

I don't understand this sentiment at all, never mind the fact that it's likely to be an adaptation of the system they already had (just because you can't see the point totals anymore doesn't mean the points aren't there). Your companions are still going to approve and disapprove of your choices during quests (assuming they're in the party, and even if they're not for some of the global decisions), and you'll be notified of this when it occurs (you just won't be given a numeric value for it).

How is this in any way something that you can deride as being for the "casual players"?

I can't speak to any of the other differences that have discouraged you without knowing what they are, but your reaction to this particular mechanic seems a bit extreme to me.

 

It's just nice to be able to see where you are and to see how far in the friendship/hate meter you have to go to get certain things for future reference. In Origins, if I was speed running I would know what level to get their quests. It's not really that important but it also leaves you a little uncertain... but I guess they'll make it obvious in how they talk to you.

 

Then again, I like how organic that could feel. I think NWN2 had the same, am I correct? Or MotB did. FFFF I LOVE THAT GAME SO MUCH.

 

It is funny how much Allan likes Dorian.  I  can't wait to experience all the Dorian content! 

 

snip

 

@Lucy, the main issues I have with the game (briefly before I detract from the topic): the game will feature trophies requiring you to play the game on Nightmare, no normal healing spell, the radial menu is gone (forcing only use of 8 spells/abilities during battle), and the fact that multiplayer is forced into the game (which could turn out to be fun who knows, but right now it's existence gives me pause).

 

But yeah...  Dorian and his awesomeness make up for a some of those issues! 

 

Ikr, ALLAN YESSSS TEAM DORIAN.

 

Ah, I see. Fair enough. I think the MP will be really fun, actually, from what I've seen. It's more like Diablo than horde mode - which ties into BW's vision of bringing back old school RPG elements for the modern crowd. The healing will be annoying but it'll encourage players to utilise the tactics more, which are incredibly fun and this is coming from someone who doesn't focus on combat.

 

YEAH DORIAN BTW

 

Hello everyone!

 

There was a thread in the scuttlebutt section of the forums about Dorian that got locked.So, I thought I'd share some puns I made over there with some Dorian lovers over here:

 

I am excited about Dorian appearing, I'm sure he'll be able to use his mage staff to open up rifts.

My Inquisitor hears that, In Tevinter, magisters use their slaves to take care of their long staves.Dorian will prove a valuable asset to the Inquisition, surely.

I heard that Dorian is a necromancer, I'm sure he'll be able to...raise my Inquisitor up...from the dead.

I'm sure Dorian will thrust the Inquisitor with his magic.

I fear that if my Inquisitor supports traditional Tevinter values, Dorian might...stand up against him.

 

 

 

 

(Ok, that was really enough...I'll leave myself out)

It's not really that important but it also leaves you a little uncertain... but I guess they'll make it obvious in how they talk to you.

I don't disagree that the totals are useful, especially in letting you game the system (oh, Fenris is already at max friendship, but Aveline is only at 90%, so I'll take her on this quest instead!).

But the post I was responding to was seeming to make some sort of weird jump to Inquisition automatically being inferior, for no logical reason.
 

Then again, I like how organic that could feel. I think NWN2 had the same, am I correct? Or MotB did. FFFF I LOVE THAT GAME SO MUCH.

I think so (I don't really remember). They had a comprehensive influence system, but all I really recall is that I never got Neeshka to side with me at the end (I only played it the one time).

I do know the BG series worked like that, NWN worked like that (the expansions at least), Jade Empire worked like that, and ME3 works like that (though really only for Kaidan and Ashley IIRC). There are variations in each system, but none of those had meters that you could look at to automatically know your relationship status without even needing to talk to the character.
 
I think people may be assuming that it's going to be like Origins and DA2 in every way except with the inability to see the meter; I believe it's a mistake to expect that. Obviously, if you removed the meter from DA2, it would be very difficult to tell the status of your relationship with a particular character, as there are relatively few plot or dialogue cues—but a game designed without the meter would obviously handle it differently, since it's essential to have at least a general idea of the current status of your various relationships.

^I'd imagine that Dorian is well versed in demons and spirits as a Tevinter mage, so he probably has just as much insight into Cole as Solas does.

Also, bump.

My thoughts exactly. Im looking forward to the banter between Cole, Solas and Dorian:D

The thread went to visit page 2 land, but I wanted to make sure it didn't outstay it's welcome.  I mean I'd hate for that to happen.  ^_^ 

 

Anywho, good night fellow Adorians  (or morning in some cases) !

If I romance him with a qunari, white hair, if one of the other races...undecided. Probably redhead.

Hm... well some of the companions appear to be more serious than others, so that might determine which ones comment on it and which ones don't... So if I had to guess based strictly on what we know right now, I'd say that Sera and Iron Bull would engage in playful teasing... um... Cole might be curious about it... and... Solas, Blackwall, Vivienne, Varric, Cassandra probably won't have much to say.  Wild guesses, of course, but you could probably already tell based on how many are in the "would not comment" pile...  What I can say with some degree of certainty is that I do not expect Varric to pull the Inquisitor aside like he did with Hawke in DA2.  I'm not expecting that kind of friendship between the chars, even if they are on good terms...
