I'm thinking that the camera work is actually a disservice to some of the cinematic design. The direction and choreography here is so wonderful, but we don't see most of that because of the camera position. Thank the Maker for flycam I suppose. I'll have to install that on my next play and play around with it.

This scene is wonderful to watch from different angles in flycam. I've spent far too long playing scenes over and over again to get pictures. I have to do it all over again to get videos, since my video software wasn't working at the time. Such a sacrifice, having to do it all over again. Not like I replay the scene with flycam everytime I get new pajamas or anything! :ph34r:

OMG the hands, hands on arms, hands placing hands on waist . . . uunnff 

 

btw, someone (annatar? Might be danaduchy tho) did a flycam of the love scene right after Dorian asks about being "inquisited again," and it is much more sensual than the dip off camera that you get in the game . . . NSFW tho.

 

ETA: I have a whole bunch of feels about Dorians smile/look post kissing that I will post eventually. Many feels.

Regarding the other day's conversation about Dorian's mother dragging him by his ear ( i couldn't remember where i found this pic before), and Dorian saying "picture me a young boy of five years", here is this young Dorian fanart:
 


Given that he curses in Tevene a fair amount and comments that he's "heard worse from the gardener back home" Little Dorian might have had a bit of a potty mouth.

I've been thinking about that too. Take this scene for example:

Like why did they even bother animating this when we can't see it anyway? Not that I'm complaining mind you. Maybe the developers knew flycam would be a thing and left it in as a nice surprise?  :rolleyes:

YES this is the scene I was talking about in my last post. So glad someone had it to post! I wonder if they had to edit for the rating?

Actually the hook is not necessary to be considered Aquiline. At least in the artist's definition. Any prominent bridge that is slightly bent or curved qualifies. Dorian definitely falls in the bent category. I'm glad as I find far more character in a chiseled bend than a gradual sloped hook.


If you bring Dorian on the Apostates in Witchwood quest he'll say "My magic-sensing nose is tingling!" when you get close to the rebel mage camp.

They might've intended to use a shot from the love scene, like a close up of faces or the back of the heads or something, but then decided to go with just the implied leaning back that you see in the game.

 

Whatever the reason, I'm glad it's there! Watching that scene with flycam is so wonderful. They look adorable when they are sitting on the bed next to one another talking too. I'd post pictures, but it's never as good when you see it with someone else's character. Though I don't mind with youramatus or danaduchy's quizzie, like in the above gifs (can't tell from this angle which one it is!)!

Yeah, I've seen a lot of great shots taken with flycam. It's so interesting to see a scene from different perspectives, you always notice something new. I wish I could use it, but alas, I'm on the PS4  :? (and that was danaduchy's IQ btw!)

Omg... I've seen a few stills from that but never animated. I don't like to get too carried away in focusing on the physical aspects of it because Dorian is such a dynamic character and the romance itself is so compelling... but that is just so sexy I can't get over it. [Plus a bonus for using my favorite bed.]

 

So, thanks for posting that.

I personally prefer the angles and colour of youramatus. I'm also happy at least the scene exists, i can't wait to use flycam in my new PT. I especially love how Dorian lays the inquisitor on bed very sweetly  :wub:

It's done for more flexibility in shooting and editing.  I'm often asked to provide animation keyframes beyond where the storyboard says the scene ends.  The whole videography process is almost identical to how directors set up their actors and scenes in cinema.

But here you are on the set.  You have your own camera and get to reap the benefits of all the action that never made the final cut hehe.

That makes sense, thanks for explaining!

 

I've been working with 2D animation which is a lot different, as you might know. You only draw the required frames since there's no filming involved, but I digress.

This is both hot and sweet at the same time. Now I wonder if I can use flycam to look at the other side  ;)

Having played the game now, I have to say the Freddie Mercury vibes are strong in this one. Not necessarily the looks - although there might be something there - but rather the charm, the passion, and beneath it all, the sincere and undeniable kindness and friendliness.

 

Ahem. Sorry, I'm choking up again. Dorian <3

I'm only part of the way through the Dorian romance (just finished up Last Resort of Good Men), and it's all I can do to avoid those spoilers... Well, ok, I did click through every.last.one, but I only looked for a split second. That doesn't count, right? ;)

 

Seriously, I don't know if I can make it all the way to the end of the game/romance, without fainting. All the feels, already!

I agree with exactly what you said about Freddie! :D

Hm... this makes me wonder how many of us have Dorian as our second romance of DAI.

My canon plays are usually straight fem mages. Knowing this I had planned to romance Cullen before even playing the game, which I did do. Then I met Dorian. I'm not a very flirty person IRL and that tends to be reflected in my characters, so my gal's friendship with him was more of a serious one on that first play. But I knew that I just had to make a guy (warrior this time) to romance him, and now this character is my canon for DAI. It's a pretty big departure for me and kind of ruins my "Heroines of Thedas" thing I had going on, but oh well. I actually like this character a lot more, and Dorian is more of a bonus.

I usually have two concurrent personal canons for BW games. One with a male protagonist and one with a female protagonist. (Although I've only beat DAO twice and have never gotten around to finishing my female Warden.)

Dorian is actually my... fourth or fifth, I guess? I've already tried out / completed the Blackwall, Solas, and Cullen romances (all female Inquisitors).

 

I started an Iron Bull one recently, with my female Cadash, and just...stopped. I wasn't bored or anything, but something nagged at me to try out the male Adaar that I'd made a while back, but never got past level four with. I loaded him up, and it clicked.

 

I'd wanted to try out the Dorian romance sooner, but in a way, I was kinda saving what was going to be in my mind, "the best" for last. :) I haven't tried out any of the girls yet, but eh, I'm not that worried about it.

 

I normally don't play a male character. In fact, I normally end up abandoning them. This time, I think I will, for the first time, ever, just so I can see how everything shakes out with this gloriously squee-worthy Altus. <3

Hehe, I'm the exact opposite.  I find I can't do fem plays.  I couldn't do femShep even with all the "FemShep or you're wrong" rage from all corners of the internet.  I haven't been successful with femQuist either.  I do try but I almost always delete them before I reach the first platform because I utterly fail to identify with them. That said:

1st PT - Dorian

2nd PT - Target anything but Dorian.  Result:  Dorian

3rd PT - FemQuist - Target Cullen.  Deleted.  Restarted male elf.  Result:  Dorian.

4th PT - Going to try a Qunari female this time and hope.  Target Cullen.  At least Dorian will tell me no.
