Spoiler
I want to say sorry for the outburst. I've been under greater than normal stress the last few weeks and this thread especially has been a bit of a place of zen for me and I overreacted a bit. So sorry for the part I played there.
Do you play on PC? All the details on this picture look amazing and I feel like I've never seen details like this before. I need to go load the game up on my PS4 and stand right in front of my TV, because I'm really impressed with everything there.
@arlee: I do play on the PC. Though, not at the highest quality, since my computer is a mishmash of old and newer parts, lol. I have a varying degree of ultra to low graphic settings, trying to get the best look I can with still getting 30+ fps. I know I have gamma up a little too, because things always seem too dark to me.
I was using cinematic tools to get this shot. I had been standing below with Solas when I noticed Dorian standing up there looking across, and I just had to get some pictures of him!
lol!! Before God Mode that's how my game looked all the time. Me and Dorian are okay, every one else looks like crap. 
can you tell i'm biased when considering my battle tactics...
I have a little problem with battle tactics. Solas uses a barrier on himself and Cassandra, Dorian uses it on my character ( 
)... and who is going to shield Dori? He is without barrier almost every fight. Solas is so careful not to use that barrier on Dorian, who is standing right beside him...

heh, well, that's why every one of my battles goes like: oh, cassandra is getting annihilated over there, let me punch this huge thing attacking he.. THAT SHADE TOUCHED DORIAN, ABORT MISSION, GO HELP DORIAN NOW, SORRY CASS
favoritism? why yes i'll have some, thank you very much

Dorian completely destroyed my last game. I was level 12 (nightmare) and I thought: I will get t3 robe pattern for him! He will be safe.
So I fought all those 16lv spiders for it, but then I realised that I do not have any good materials! And I wanted fade-touched silverite with guard on hit. I thought that maybe I can get some silverite in Emprise du Lion, but it was guarded by lv16 red templars. Ok, I killed the templars, got the silverite, and then I saw a dragon! Dorian will be even more safe in robe made of dragon skin, right? So I killed all those dragons... and then I was level 22 and game become so boring . I only just got Skyhold .
Lol, it's funny when Dorian goes rambo mode in the face of dragons, like he wants to compete with Blackwall to see who can tank better or maybe trying to show the IQ how powerful he is.
But when he is not in the face of enemies, i love to move close to him with my elf archer, because, well, Dorian's autoattack is sexy and badass to watch, and they are cute fighting side by side. That way he can also cast barrier for both instead of only me.

I noticed this as well, Viv and Solas? Always casting barrier on themselves. But Dorian always prioritizes putting it on my Quizzy.
I love little gameplay moments like that though. I took control of Dorian in one fight and one of those stealth enemies appeared behind him, my Inquisitor pretty much threw themselves off this small cliff they'd ran up to land next to him and defend him. It was kinda awesome.
I love those little game play moments. In DA2, My poor Spirit healer Mage Hawke got separated from the group and was getting the life beaten out of him and all of a sudden Fenris just comes out of no where cleaving and whirlwinding the heck out of all the enemies near him.
Then in DAI while I was operating the Trebuchet Dorian runs right over to guard my IQ

And Solas is standing far away, so he does not have to share his barrier... Typical.
haha, yes, little gameplay moments
recently when i was heading to the crestwood dam controls i heard a distinct sound of pain in a male voice, and dorian was the only male in my group, inquisitor aside.
i looked around but there were no enemies, no wildlife, nothing. i thought i misheard.
but than when i looked at the health bars dorian was missing a sliver of health... he must have managed to fall off a ledge or something back at the dam, though i still have no idea where or how.
should have hiked up his skirt after all...

I have died so many times because I usually play as a mage, and yet whenever Dorian is getting beat up I'm like DON'T WORRY DORI BBY I'M COMING and fling myself right in there. Then get the snot beaten out of me. At least until specializations become available, then I can be a Knight Enchanter and just never die, haha.

Companions are able to trip everywhere. Solas once lost half his health bar because there was a small rock on the road. Very small rock.
I love giving his A.I permission to use his Focus ability as well.
Everyone else can be dropping dead and he'll be like "... nah, save it for later". My Inquisitor stubs their toe and suddenly time is slowing down.
Good old Artificer Archer with points in Sabotage. Because if they get past the Caltrops, Elemental Mines, Spike Trap, and the Antivan Fire AOE I still have arrows.
I'm being super sacrilegious. My current dwarf rogue is an Artificer and he's not using any of the trap abilities from the tree.
And that bridge to the damn controls is way too narrow for four people. Last time I was coming out of there, Cassandra spawned on one of the wooden platforms under the bridge and then fell to her death.

Man, try as I might I just can't write snarky Dorian, so I have to stick with angsty Dorian. Not that I don't like writing angst, but there comes a point where leaving out the humor starts to make him seem OOC, even if he does actually have a lot of angst.
So, I continue to applaud you, Doctor.
