And when you're talking to Fiona and you're like Dorian can fix this, and she goes on about how important it is, and then Dorian says "I said maybe. It might also turn us into paste."

 

He has so many good moments during that mission.

 

Heh these are the types of lines that perfectly illustrate his personality IMO. Here they are in extreme danger, he's being totally serious, but at the same time there is just this bit of flip there that takes the edge off what he actually said. I mean, getting turned into paste is really bad, but his phrasing takes the sting out of it. It's the same with the "little jewels" remark.

My favorite is still this:

"Sera, where do you get all of those arrows? You seem to have hundreds of them."

"From your arse."

"Really? My arse should open a shop, its apparently quite prolific."

Dorian's witty banters are the best. His adorable ones with Cole are the best, and his witty ones are so great. He's got some wonderful one-liners throughout the game too.

I saw this and the first thing I thought was a Tevinter child reads a southern bedtime story.

I wish sometimes that exchanges between companions weren't so reliant on being in the right place to trigger them because you can miss so much.    I've noticed people mentioning various exchanges by Dorian with others that so far I have failed to get despite having had them together when doing nothing more than picking elfroot.   I also feel they do often give far more insight into how the character is thinking than anything you can get when you talk to them direct.

 

I got an exchange between Dorian and Cassandra that seemed to come at exactly the right moment in the story but may be it was just coincidence.    So I've had my little discussion about the future and still feeling a bit hurt about him mocking me, then Cassandra says to Dorian how she has noticed of late he has this constant smile on his face and a dreamy far away look.   Of course he passes it off by saying how he likes to show off his teeth but I'm thinking "Dorian's in love, Dorian thinks I'm gorgeous.   So who's got the calf eyes now?"     Now I've had the pair of them in my party quite a lot, so I wonder if it was random luck or could it only come after a certain point in our relationship?

 

I'm convinced that certain areas give up far more conversation than others.   In the Hissing Wastes Dorian and Solas couldn't seem to stop talking about magic.  My mage Lavellan found it fascinating listening to them.   Or was this because my Inquisitor was a mage?    So far this run through I haven't been there and they've barely spoken apart from Dorian talking about the use of spirits and Solas making pointed remarks about slavery.    Oh and Dorian calling Solas a "special snowflake".

It's definitely worth doing each side once, gives an interesting perspective on things. Just make sure when you do Templars to save Ser Barris so you can use him in war table missions, I think you'll be happily surprised by those

 

Also I am VERY happy to hear if you kill the merchant Dorian breaks-up with you. It would have ridiculously disturbed me to think he wouldn't. Would have been so wrong on so many levels.

 

I'm glad that he reacts that way too. Honestly, it only adds to his character.  Like I said, he's really surprised me with his sweetness and sensitivity and vulnerability.  To show me that side of him and then not have him react that way would seem incongruous.  Kind of like Lavellan's not being able to react to their clan war table missions   But enough about that!  Thank you for posting the vids.

 

Oh and honestly, Ponchard's offense doesn't seem a killing offense.  Yes, Dorian always teases my quizzy's about how many people they kill on a regular basis lol, but still.  It's not like he's asking for something impossible. Yes, it's a little dirtbaggy, but not like horrific or anything.  And Dorian seems confident he can do something about it, not seeming overly desperate.

 

Also, I am interested in seeing Ser Barris.  It should be an interesting run-through when I play it. 

[Gervaise]

I've just done the Well of Sorrows with Dorian and am happy to say that all is forgiven.   He saved my Lavellan from drinking it with a few simple words "I would not lose you to the Well."     I really had no idea before hand which route my lad would take.    The elf he was at the beginning of the story would have drunk without question but his time with the Inquisition, not to mention wandering around that temple, reading and hearing the alternative history, have altered his perception on life.   Dorian has played his part too, as did Abelas' words "You are not of my people."   It is ironic that many clans have the same attitude towards the city elves.    His clan had always viewed them as lost children and willing to help them if they could (which of course they do in Wycombe) but those words from Abelas still really stung and made him appreciate how the city elves must feel.   If he knew of what the Keeper said to Briala in Masked Empire, he'd be doubly glad he helped her now. 

 

So by the time we got to the decision bit he was really torn.   He is still fascinated by ancient history and the temptation was there.   Both Solas and Dorian refusing to drink it really made him pause for thought but it was that simple declaration by Dorian that settled the matter.    Didn't feel so guilty about pulling the "emotional blackmail" either when we got back to Skyhold and anyway Dorian made it clear he didn't mean it.     Dorian needs him and he needs Dorian.     He could not be bound to Mythal because  he's already bound to Dorian.   Whatever Dorian may feel he has to do in the future, that will always hold true. 

 

I'm actually feeling quite emotional as I write this because this romance had come to mean so much to me (you may guess I have issues of my own) and it has really delivered.     This Inquisitor will definitely be my canon one and the only one I will ever romance with Dorian.

 

Final reflection: first run through I didn't notice it but when Morrigan activates the eluvian, the Inquisitor immediately starts to glow in exactly the same way.    I could understand that if he had drunk the well but I assume it is because of the anchor.

I've been mulling over this and I'm just not sure about it. My first two PTs were mage inquisitors who didn't drink from the well, and they glowed when the eluvian was activated. However, in my most recent one my Rogue Inquisitor did drink from the well and this time it was Vivieanne who glowed. So I'm not really sure how it's decided who glows and what it means :/

[Gervaise]

Well my latest Inquisitor is a rogue so it can't have anything to do with being a mage.   I don't know, may be it is just where you happen to be standing when she activates it.   May be that's why I didn't notice it before, because my previous PT my girl mage didn't glow.    I actually thought it added to the scene, almost like the anchor was reacting to the magic of Mythal, may be even called to her spirit that appeared just before he left and glowed in the same way.   If it is just a random effect that would be a pity but I'll just go with my own interpretation and assume that this particular Inquisitor really is special.

Wow, I wish I could like that more than once.

Hi there, again.   Just had to share.   I've just got to the end with Dorian and he has achieved what I thought would be impossible, give me an emotional reaction at the end of a second play through when I didn't get one the first time round.     My first run I had Solas as my love interest and him going all cold on me, promising me an explanation and then going off without one, was such a kick in the guts that I didn't feel any elation at defeating Corypheus and was simply going through the motions at the celebration party.   It wasn't emotion as such, I just didn't care. 

 

As you will know from my various posts, Dorian has been getting under my skin for some time now but it has all been entirely worth it.     My measure of a good game is one that gets me genuinely engaged with the characters and my own emotions.    In particular I really care what happens to the characters at the end and can either feel a sense of elation, like I did with the end of ME2 or the moving finish to DAO, when the first time I had turned down Morrigan fully accepting it would mean my death and then Alistair talked me out of it at the last moment.     ME3 also had its moments, the ones involving Mordin ,Tally and Grunt in particular, but of course was let down by the end.

 

So horray for DAI and Dorian.    When Corypheus imploded and we'd survived, I felt the sense of sheer joy and relief that we'd done it and then I saw the look on Dorian's face as he gazed adoringly at my Lavellan and that was it, the tears started to flow.     The party was a true celebration and to round it off I got my happy ending when Dorian said he wouldn't be retuning to Tevinter because the Inquisitor wouldn't be there, followed by that final scene on the balcony.    Dorian really is the Redeemer.

[KealaFerret]

I always assumed the rooms off the balcony near Vivienne off that outside balcony were where companions without more obvious sleeping arrangements slept.

A couple days late jumping in, but: i have been tempted to write a fic describing living in those rooms and having to constantly sneak past Viv and the reasons for sneaking by. Or, perhaps, the injuries they may get trying to get down by NOT going past her. :: giggle :: 

 

And more on topic - I started my Dorian romance playthough and am soooooo excited! :: dances :: Especially as in my head my Inquisitor is... SnarkQuisitor. Thedas will tremble at the witty commentary and cutting humor. 

 

... it will be glorious.

Little does he know, little Lavellan just got tired of being a stressed out inquisitor and decided to be a cute little fennec for a while. NOW I MUST WRITE ALL THE FIC.

If that means being held by Dorian same as in picture, i would be a fennec anytime

Lol! it's funny i also thought something like that, with those big pointy ears, the little fennec could be an elfy in disguise   

[DirkJake]

In my headcanon, it's definitely the inquisitor who gave Dorian that fennec.

I was thinking about a foot shorter than a dwarf and as thin as a elf, but that works to. The Fennec race would be the Rocket Racoon of Dragon Age.
