lol!! I listened to the entire vid and now I want Dorian and my Trevelyan married with adopted children, now!
Now I can't hunt bears in DA:I without laughing:
My do I see my Quizzy teasing Dorian like mad if he had wind of this lol. He'd be like, Ok, read me Big Bear, Little Bear, Dorian. This at the tavern, Dorian already in his cups, then he drunkenly proceeds to with a lot of pomp and drama.
About Dorian and armor colours, i have to say it's a bit disappointing that it seems hard to craft a pure black armor for Dorian in game, because Darkened Samite doesn't look dark enough to me. However, pure white armor is a lot easier and i also like how Dorian looks in white, especially with the Imperial horse. I love this horse for Dorian, he looks amazing on it so i took some screenshots on horse, i shall call him Shadowfax xD. These 2 armors i crafted are probably my favourites for Dorian.
Spoiler
As I've mentioned, I'm replaying my Lavellan with Dorian on the alternative mage path, so have done Hushed Whispers and as a result get Dorian at Haven, have the opportunity to chat and flirt, etc, before we get to Skyhold. When I take the Inquisitor sword and take the option "an elf will stand for us all", I get slight approval from Solas, disapproval from Sera, and slight approval from Dorian. I'm almost certain I haven't had that before either with my girl Lavellan with whom I did my previous mage run or on the Templar run with this guy. Is it because we've been through time together and I've flirted with him as a guy? I found it rather touching that he is already supporting me as a proud elf but have this feeling that perhaps he does that with every race. Does he in fact show his approval on every option, apart from the "doing it for myself one" if you have already flirted with him? I'd be really interest to know.
You are not misremembering, you did not get approval on the templar path. The reason for this is because at that time Dorian is not an official member of the party. He only becomes an actual follower after you talk to him, and recruit him, in the Skyhold library. The same thing applies to recruiting Cole on the mage path.
As far as the options go, I think Dorian would approve anything (even slightly) that's not "MOAR POWER!" since you know, that's part of the mentality that has harmed Tevinter. You do get "Dorian Greatly Approves" if you select "Corypheus must be stopped."
Oh and for some reason, there's a different angle to the shot of the love interest walking out to the balcony that I did not see in my last 2 playthroughs. With Blackwall and Josie, they were filmed from the side as they look at Morrigan and kind of shake their heads in confusion. Dorian's was a front shot, so you see his clear expression and that sideways glance he gives Morrigan is sort of priceless lol. It was a pleasant surprise.
I saw a gif set of each LI walking out to the balcony. Some of them are from the side while others are from the front. Those from the front, particularly Cullen and Dorian, both give Morrigan the same sideways look as she walks by.
Does anyone else automatically think a certain uncomplimentary word that may, or may not be flitting through Dorian's head when he glances sidelong at Morrigan on his way by? I've had that humorous impression since the first play through. It can't be just me.
Can't say I have, and I'm not a huge Morrigan fan either. None of the follower LI were present when the Inquisitor talks to Morrigan initially so this is likely their first time seeing her. You can reference her during a dialog with the three advisors, who already know about her, especially in the case of Leliana who knows her personally.
Morrigan is a presence all her own; her attitude, carriage, and appearance draw attention and curiosity. She walks away from the Inquisitor -- a force all their own, who has just decided the fate of a nation -- like she owns the place with her usual demeanor of confidence, which is surprising (to those that don't know her) in the presence of the empress of a powerful nation, as well as hundreds of members of the nobility.
I think 'the look' is a natural one given the circumstances, and I've never seen anything untoward in it. I'm not saying such thoughts are beyond Dorian, but I've never seen it in this circumstance.
Or I could just be naive. /shrug
Dorian without mustache is really. Odd.
Dorian without the mustache looks like a young Professor Snape with haircut. They might as well change his hair, and call it the Snape mod.

This armor in blue is my other favourite, i love that bare arm
I'm about to ask an extremely stupid question, so bear with me 
but, um, how do you get your companions on mounts? Whenever I'm on a horse or Hart, I don't see or hear my companions at all, hence why I rarely use one. I didn't know you could see them somehow! And, do they have banter? I'm on xbox 360 so is this with another platform?
Thanks Nightscrawl. I wonder why only those two have the front view angle. In Dorian's case, I wonder as a mage if he can sense how powerful she is, and he's like, "hmm, better keep an eye on that one."
You switch to the follower and use them to mount instead. Bye-bye Inquisitor! So yeah, no banter this way either.
^
What if I give you a cookie?

Omg that makes such sense I feel silly lol.

Oh, you just have to select companion to control him and then mount on horse, just like you do it with your own character. And yes, there aren't any banters when you are on horse, because the other 3 party members disappear. I'm on PC but this is same for all platforms, i think. I like mounts because i love how horses are made in this game, and the animations look realistic so i like to use them from time to time.
edit: I just saw you got answer before lol.
And about the comparison of no moustache Dorian with Snape, not even close lol -.-
Thanks Nymeria . I have to say I like the way it sounds and moves. It's like you can feel like you are riding, but I just wish the companions didn't have to disappear 
RE Dorian armor colors: the darkest you can get is Great Bear Hide + Lambswool. The hide is the closest color to anything black in all of the crafting materials and does look it depending on the armor (Cole's pants) and the lighting, even though it is a very dark brown. It's also a smooth hide, rather than a textured one, so that also helps. It's a shame there isn't a black cloth though...
I do have a question about masterwork properties... when you pick "Oh hit: gain 3 guard" does that mean when you receive a hit, OR when you inflict a hit?

I feel fairly certain it's when you get hit, but I honestly never paid that much attention when I was using armor with that trait ><
And sad news... my PS4 is having a hardware failure so I need to send it in to get fixed, and I am trying desperately to get it to work long enough so I can save all my game info and screens/videos from it ><

Hmm i will have to check those with different armors, i did notice that the leather parts of armor look more like black with the great bear hide, but it's the cloth parts that are difficult to get that dark black colour
And i'm pretty sure the gain 3 guard on hit is when you hit an enemy.

Well when you put it that way....

Aww, that sucks. Hopefully it can be fixed in no time.

I just got back from seeing "Jupiter Ascending" and Dorian.. ehem. I mean, Ramon was excellent for the spare few moments he spoke, held a big weapon or worked the technologies.
But what if you need more? You always need more. He's on screen for probably a total of 10-12 minutes but does have a moment speaking with the main protagonist. I'm happy seeing him get a bit more notice all the same.
Actually, him being in it was the only thing that convinced me I might want to see the movie afterall.
On weapons its if you hit, on armor its if you get hit. But it doesn't always seem to work. There's so much in the game that has little to no explanation, I miss the old KOTOR days, I at least understand D&D 3.5. It could be worse, we could have Witcher combat, in which my tactic was to knock enemies down with the Aard sign and just coup de grace them because actually attempting to fight was such a pain.
As for dressing Dorian in black, Patch 5 is introducing armor tints so color isn't tied solely to material anymore.
Armor tints. That makes me happy. Thx for the heads up.
Aww, that sucks. Hopefully it can be fixed in no time.
Yea they are sending me a box and a shipping label for it so that's nice and they said it'll take 7-10 days from when they receive it. Right now I am mostly stressing about getting it to stay on long enough to back-up my saved games and grab my screens and videos. Especially my saved games ><

Ohhh, good to know this, i hope they will add nice armor tints including pure black and white tints, and not some weird mix :S
But i don't think there is any difference between on hit guard on weapon or armor, because I crafted Dorian an armor that has the guard on hit trait and he gains guard when he hits enemies.
I thought the armor tinting was just for the people testing it? If not that would be super awesome and something I have wanted for ages
