More so that I've replaced "Physical" with "Dorian" in that Olivia Newton-John song.

That sounds like a good reason to remake a song for sure!

Thanks to Dorian I will be making my first ever male protagonist for my second playthrough.

 

Wish me luck

At some point I will make a male character to romance Dorian. 

 

Also I found this piece of art recently and damn does dorian look good. Seems dorian knows how to rock any sort of outfit he is in. No idea if during the ball we can dance with our LIs or not, but if we can, and I was playing a guy romancing dorian this would be just perfect for the ball.

Its hard to say. I appears based on the fact that the inquisitor and leliana are both wearing dress uniforms that you are there as inquisition representitives so there might be a chance to do so but it might be an all business sort of situation so you don't, Really depends how they write it. And will the inquisitor do "the shepard" if you can dance?

I'm not sure if this has been posted previously, so apologies if I'm repeating an already discussed topic 

 

Jesse Cox (OMFGcata on youtube) posted a DAI game play video that contained a codex entry (Sexuality in Thedas) which specifically talks about Tevinter's view on same sex relationships.

 

Spoiler

Images below of the codex entry - I'm not sure if this has been shown elsewhere (like WoT), but I hadn't personally seen it before

 

While the part about it being frowned upon when occurring between nobles wasn't surprising given what we've previously learned, I find it very interesting that Tevinter society (in general) "actively encourages" same sex relations with favored slaves.  I'm not sure what to make of this, other than the practice being looked to as a way of decreasing temptation to do so with another noble?  I'm curious if anyone else has other thoughts to share on this.

 

I don't know if this will have any bearing on Dorian's back story (could a forbidden relationship with another noble have been one of the triggers for him leaving Tevinter?) but I find it fascinating regardless.

I think it's most likely to do with controlling the breeding slave population. Think about dogs: if you have a star ******, you don't want her having her fun humptimes with the neighbors rescued mutt with one ear, you want to make sure she only breeds with other star dogs, right? I think, if you've got slaves, the same might be true. So if you, as an owner of a slave you want to keep breeding her, you're not going to want her unhappy, so you can't completely deny her sex (if you give your slaves things that don't involve freedom but cause them pleasure, aren't they going to be more loyal to you?) but if she gets pregnant by some random other slave you can't trust that the issue will be any good, and you lose between 3-9 months of breeding time for her (depending how much you trust termination and assuming that it's like the real world and hard to tell if you're pregnant for the first trimester), so you encourage boy slaves to only have sex with boy slaves and girl slaves to only have sex with girl slaves, and voila, very little unwanted breeding, but a settled/no-rebellious slave population.

That codex entry was actually first published in the World of Thedas, which came out last year

 

"What I find most interesting is that, despite the lack of open discussion on matters of human sexuality, there is commonality to be found on the subject in all Andrastian lands. 

 

Typically, one’s sexual habits are considered natural and separate from matters of procreation, and only among the nobility, where procreation involves issues of inheritance and the union of powerful families, is it considered of vital importance. Yet, even there, a noble who has done their duty to the family might be allowed to pursue their own sexual interests without raising eyebrows.

 

The view on indulging lusts with a member of the same gender varies from land to land. In Orlais, it is considered a quirk of character and nothing more. In Ferelden, it is a matter of scandal if done indiscreetly but otherwise nothing noteworthy. In Tevinter, it is considered selfish and deviant behavior among nobles, but actively encouraged with favored slaves. Nowhere is it forbidden and sex of any kind is only considered worthy of judgement when taken to awful excess or performed in the public eye.”

A bit of a spoiler, but I've seen the Inquisitor dance, and he's rather good.

I'm worried that Dorian will be such a strong romance option that romancing anyone else will feel like a waste.

Yeah, guess I'll be stuck in the dreaded "THIS time I'll try something (someone) else"-loop for a while AGAIN... *sigh*

I know, right? My first playthrough will be canon so it will be my male dual-wielder rogue Inquisitor romancing Dorian. I am curious about what Cullen, The Iron Bull and Blackwall will offer romance-wise but since I've taken it as a given that Inquisition will be my #1 time-sink for the rest of 2014 (and a big chunk of 2015 as well ) I'm going to find out.

[(Disgusted noise.)]

I'm worried that Dorian will be such a strong romance option that romancing anyone else will feel like a waste.

I have similar feelings. I mean, I'm also really interested in Bull as well as Dorian, but that could change once I actually play. I wasn't around during the pre-release of DA2 or ME3, but I can easily imagine myself at the time saying I was interested in both Fenris and Anders or both Kaidan and Steve, yet once I played those games, I had a concrete preference almost immediately. Now I pretty much can't convince myself to romance anyone but Kaidan and Anders. So, as much as I like Dorian and Bull at the moment, I'm pretty in a month I'll be staunchly one or the other.

 

(But luckily, I also enjoy playing female protagonists from time to time and I never romance the same people with different genders, so I'll still have some variety over the countless number of play throughs I expect to have over the years. However, I'll still probably end up in the same situation when it comes to Josephine and Sera since I prefer to keep it gay regardless of gender.)

I definitely want to take Solas for a spin. That quiet elf is up to something, I just know it!

Also Cass, Josie, and Sera, because I've fallen in love with them for various reasons (respectively: appearance and practicality, crazy schemes, accent).

[Lucy Glitter]

Aaah!! I don't have to work for 3 days when DA:I is released! VICTORY IS MINE! GIVE ME ALL THE JUNK FOOD YOU CAN MUAHAHAHAAAAA!!

I think a lot of the romances will be awesome Maybe Dorian's will be lackluster? Who knows! Though from some of the dev fangirling/boying... I feel like it will be awesome

Holy ****! That was Celene!

I hope we get to dance with our LIs :-D :-D

[Trophonius]

I'm not expecting sunshine and rainbows out of Dorian's romance, but some light-hearted moments here and there would be nice. Especially when the track record for mage romances hasn't been all too positive. It usually entails angst and a lot of pain.

I have a thing for men who can dance. He looks rather firm and confident while leading the steps. Great animating.

I wonder if only noble humans have the option to dance with Celene.
