OMG! I just looked that up! A million thanks!
I had no idea what people were using to get those different angles. Yeah I'm slow.
It's very addictive and makes me want to replay every cutscene to look at them from different perspectives. It doesn't help that Dorian looks so damn perfect from every angle!
Kind of related? Dorian's a focal point of discussion, though.
And like with most things in that cesspool called Youtube, avoid reading the comments.
I don't know if this has been posted before but it was new for me...

Huh. Some of that research sounds really interesting. I may have to do some research. The video itself also strongly reinforces the fact that Bioware is a titan among mere mortals in the RPG industry. Thanks for sharing that.
Mmmmmm chest hair... how is that not a mod yet?
WHY wasn't it in game is the real question. Poor, hairless Inquisitor. May your shiny bod glisten in every romance scene.

Ugh, Erimond (love your roomie's description)...first time, Matteo Trevelyan cut off his stupid head, second time Remanna Lavellen gave him to the Grey Wardens. Next up - tranquility junction, which does seem the most fitting, but I find it so morally reprehensible it will take more of a badass than I usually play. Gonna be the same quizzy who chooses the dreadnought over the chargers and the hole over the puzzles at the temple of Mythal. Ugh, playing the pragmatist has never been my strong suit...going to be a bit stereotypical by being Qunquizzy, I think lol - romancing either Sera or Cassandra, depending on gender.
I execute Erimond. I'm against Tranquility in every circumstance, unless it's chosen by the person in lieu of execution.

He does look good from every angle, I have several new shots of Dorian and my IQ because of this, and I finally got to see Dorian on top of my IQ instead of someone elses. I love this program!
I don't usually go for m/m, but with Dorian it's more that I grew attached to his character and the relationship followed suit. I still wish we had a "hug the poor guy already" option for Inquisitors who befriended him.
On another subject, what did everyone do with Erimond (or as my roommate calls him "crappy discount Dorian")? I took the Tranquillity route, none of the other punishments really gave the desired effect.
It's strange and kind of unfair that there is an option to hug Varric but not Dorian.... I mean, Dorian is probably the one that deserves a hug the most 
About Erimond, i executed him in both of my playthroughs, seeing that most companions approve it and none disapprove, looks like the right choice to me. Also, i think i would never use the Tranquility punishment because Dorian disapproves, and i don't want to dissapoint him 
Yeah, I'm jealous of all of you on PC. I was all excited to cap the dance this time around, but it turns out to be basically impossible on PS4 due to how fast it goes by and the angle. The only good photo I got was this and it took me four tries.

My two mages tranquilitied him because I wasn't about to give him what he wanted and kill him, my rogue did kill him though because I didn't have the option to Tranquility him and jailing him "forever" is problematic because I figure he'll eventually escape and be a problem again. I don't really like Tranquility, but I feel like he deserves it. I can't think of a single redeeming thing about him :/

On my very first DAI play I was a mage. I felt that the tranquility was fitting because of who he is and what he says. On my next two as my (now canon) warrior I just executed him. Of course I didn't have the option for tranquility in that case, but he also doesn't buy that "I'll have a glorious afterlife" crap that Erimond spouts.
On this current play as another mage I haven't decided yet. The judgement option is waiting there for me but I'm procrastinating. On the one hand, this character was just extremely pissed over this whole incident. So pissed that she even exiled the Grey Wardens over it, which is the first time I've done it [I might not have done if the "join the Inquisition" option weren't so "Rah-rah Wardens!"] I'm not going to send him to the Wardens because that ultimately gives him too much freedom, assuming he survives the joining.
In order for me to pick tranquility again I will have to really consider how this character feels about it, and its use as a punishment, which is usually a big no-no. Also, the tranquil person isn't really going to feel it as a punishment, even if they logically understand it, so in that sense its wasted.
My other consideration, which I realize is extremely lame, is that, while I might go for execution on this character, the prospect of seeing my skinny little mage girl go up there and try to behead someone with a sword that is bigger than her is ridiculous. At the very least, if this were real I would have had to have someone do it for me, or else risk botching the whole thing.
Sorry Ned Stark, but not everyone can actually perform the task -- to which he might respond that perhaps such a person is not worthy of passing that judgement.

Erimond was the toughest one for me because I didn't want to give him what he wanted, but at the same time, I have such an issue about lobotomizing someone as a punishment. I am with Disgusted, if they want to go through that, then I will let them, but it just doesn't sit right with me doing it to someone (which I know is funny in a game where you murder thousands of people and had to make some crappy choices, I guess everyone has their limits). In the end, I just killed him and got it over with.

I made him Tranquil and laughed as he was dragged away. He wants to talk crap to me? Now he can craft runes for me. 
Funny, I never considered that by giving Erimond to the wardens, they might make him a warden. I just figured they could kill him or lock him up as they sought fit. Nah, not even the stupidest of the wardens could be that stupid...could they?

The Wardens consider themselves bound to that life. This applies not only to the Wardens seeing themselves as the guardians of Thedas (in a general sense), but also to being bound to the Blight in a physical sense through the taint. Becoming a Warden is ultimately a death sentence. Whether you die in the Joining, die fighting darkspawn, or die on the Calling, your duties as a Warden will eventually lead to death.
Now, the Wardens at Weisshaupt (known for their harshness) might have certain protocols for dealing with individuals who have grievously wronged the Wardens in some manner, or those who have committed atrocious acts that go against the Warden creed of stopping the Blights. They very well might just execute Erimond anyway, but we don't know that for sure. I think it is just as likely that they would attempt the Joining.
On another note, is growing a mustache and goatee/soul patch a requirement at the Vyrantium Circle? Dorian and Erimond are both from there, and they have rather distinctive facial hair.
LOL. It would have been hilarious if Dorian were like, "I remember you! You were one of those upperclassmen that was always a dick to everyone."

Maybe record the video, transfer it to your PC and edit/get screenies from there? The PS4 has an option to trim the video, and you can copy it to a USB stick fairly easily. It's an option I use with my Dalish archer I play on the PS4, especially to get her scene with Sera when she's so gosh darn adorable.
As for Erimond's fate, didn't Duncan get conscripted because he killed a Warden in a theft gone wrong? Or am I mis-remembering?
At any rate, I could very much see the Wardens conscripting Erimond into the Order. He would lose his title, his lands (if any), and any and all standing in the Imperium as a result, and for a Magister that would be HUGE. Harsher, in its own way, than making him Tranquil or killing him. You would take everything he valued in life in one fell swoop, AND make him one of those very same mage Wardens he took advantage of. Not a bad punishment, all told.
welp i've started my dorian romance the 'snub-mother-giselle-and-dorian-kisses-you' way, it was surprisingly un-buggy, too, but it seems the option doesn't actually start the romance? you have to choose the 'start romance - watch out, you're starting a gay romance - this will definitely be G-A-Y, are you absolutely sure?' option afterwards? i did, just to be safe, and the mother giselle way did word it as 'start a romance - if possible' (what does that even mean 
?), but it's still a bit weird.. do i have to reassert my choice for it to register properly?
and yes, this has probably been answered previously, and i apologize, but this thread is long...
and good for it, too

Well, basically you just have to choose the heart option in mother Giselle scene to let Dorian kiss you first, and after that, you talk to him and choose the heart option again to officially start romance with him. I did that and i didn't have any problem, i got amulet quest and all romance scenes. I don't know if i was lucky or what, but it may be fixed now with patches if there was some problem.
