Here, this fan did a random analysis: http://forum.bioware...andom-analysis/

Not sure how accurate that is, but I know on tumblr someone also analyzed his cards.

Edit: I went to look and it's the same person. Sorry :(

I do know a while back a few here tried to analyze them. Not sure what page though.

Can anyone explain to me what Dorian's post personal quest tarot card means? >.> And his post romance one, I'm having difficulty understanding with the odd animals <.<

The snake represents Tevinter and Dorian's heritage in all three cards. (It is Tevinter's mascot that way lions are for Orlais and dogs are for Ferelden.) It's poised to strike in his post-personal quest card because that's when the audience finds out this his relationship with his homeland is more insidious than Dorian initially leads you to believe. It's not just a difference in politics or ethics, Tevinter culture almost caused him literal harm, but it's still not something he can separate himself from. He'll keep the snake and his cultural identity, even if if bears him ill-will. Horses tend to represent movement and action, so I would guess Dorian's horse illustrates that after speaking with his father, he has closure with how he left Tevinter and plans to move forward with his life.

 

The snake is more docile in the romance card because the Inquisitor gives Dorian what Tevinter culture told him he could never have. The Inquisitor tames the snake and the emotional baggage that Tevinter left Dorian with.

I'd like to know as well.  He/she did a great job on most of the scenes.  That first kiss with the dwarf though!  OMG I laughed out loud for sure!

Oh, gosh. Does his kissing cinematic not work well with dwarves? I was going to romance him with my dwarf.

I did the romance with a dwarf and it was handled pretty well in my opinion. The height difference was adorable. Especially in the kissing scenes.

But does the kissing scene work properly? Is there massive clipping or anything else off due to the height difference? Not a big deal if there is. I still plan on romancing Dorian.

There is no clipping at all. The height difference is handled properly, with Dorian bending his head slightly down and the dwarf looking up to him while kissing. I even found the dwarf kissing to be the best, because dwarven heads are slightly wider than elven or human heads. The characters don't move their lips while kissing, probably due to engine limitations and this is slightly more obvious in elven or human kissing scenes. The wider dwarven head conceals it more.

 

If you don't mind romance spoilers, you can look up page 612 or 613 of this thread, where I posted some screenshots of Dorian/Dwarf interaction in the game.

 

EDIT: Nevermind. I re-post them here again.

^Thanks for those.

 

It looks like the dwarf Inquisitor grows a few inches during that kissing scene. Lol.

Yes, there is some spontaneous growth during some of the scenes, but not all of them. Otherwise, some of them might have looked awkward or would have caused clipping problems, because of the engine most likely. However, I always found it believable and not immersion breaking.

Please bear with me in case this has been asked before. After asking Dorian (Errol Flynn) for a kiss (and receiving it) there is a little jump cut scene thing of Inq and Dorian being by the bed and then suddenly back in the library. Was there content cut (if so sloppily done) from there or is it just a glitchy thing? :)

Do you want to watch them both walking hand in hand to the quarters and back into the library in a lengthy cutscene? ;)

Damn... I think I actually wanna see this now.

I've also noticed the slight growth spurts for my human Quizzy and Dorian. One moment he is taller than Dorian, then the next he is shorter.   I don't know if it's an angle thing or what.

Spoiler

I actually prefer my human Quizzy being shorter than Dorian.

The lengthier the better baby :wub:  Anything that involves them squealing and giggling.

Perhaps it isn't the inquisitor growing, but Dorian shrinking instead? Must be Tevinter magic...

Dwarves get a stool or stand on a stack of books before kissing.

Since my game is so glitched - what does the other companion say about the Inq relationship with Dorian?

 

And I agree, I see Dorian to be quite tall (190 cmish) and manly. <3

You can also check Dorian's page at Dragon Age Wikia (regarding his dialog lines).

Superwierd ken-dolls pelvises, but you see more "action" on different cameraview on the sex scene here. Spesially at the end when they kiss again *giggles*

Oh those Ken doll bodies, as long as you don't pay attention to that, I like it, though can I admit, I never liked how the Inquisitor keeps his arms out like that just before the scene shifts to after sex.

Guys, Mr. Gaider told me on twitter that Dorian's cinematic designer was Mike Thistle. Unfortunately, he doesn't appear to be on twitter so my plan to praise him directly was thwarted.

Yes the Ken doll thing is rather creepy  :blink: lol... but loving the different angles thing since I got to see the really nice kiss/"let's go again" part at end  ^_^

 

After 3 playthroughs romancing Dorian, I made a dual wield rogue elf (I really like how he turned out in the CC  B) ) who will romance Dorian. Problem is, since I really liked how he turned out, and because some dialogue got me curious about a mage elf playthrough, I made one... It will be my 4th playthrough as mage... duh lol. And for variety he will romance Dorian  ;)

 

Adding the pics in spoiler tags, since no Dorian present yet...

Spoiler

 

Also, looked around for more Dorian pics... no such thing as "too much of a good thing"... (also adding spoiler tag since more then 1 pic... oh and when I do add this pics, I try to find pics I don't remember seeing recently in the topic and as always, it's not mine, I'm just googling)

Really really wish they'd have gone with at least light body hair. The bodies just look so plastic to me(not even going to mention...there)

You got these amazing face textures with pores and scars and blemishes and such and then...flat textured bodies.

Games are getting to the point where the little things start sticking out a LOT more than they used to. The whole uncanny valley thing I guess. Oh well.
