I hate weeping and yelling, people who can't keep their feelings in check in general really, regardless of gender.

 

But I really like the way they wrote and animated Dorian's expressiveness. He manages to be vulnerable (occasionally) without being manipulative or maudlin about it.

Ha, agreed... I wouldn't be caught dead showing strong emotions, and I admit people occasionally assume I'm 'cold' because I have trouble reacting 'sympathetically' to others if they act emotionally... I do feel sympathy, but displays of emotions are always distasteful and awkward to me, and I tend to distance myself until things have calmed down...

 

And Dorian's animations are lovely in this regard, you can - at times - feel like he's on the verge of tears, but it's subtle and leaves room for interpretation. Was it actually anger? Frustration? Genuine despair? The ambiguity is what makes it feel very realistic to me, and keeps the scenes touching rather than cheesy.

Rofl I wasn't talking about sobbing hysterically in front of everyone. I don't care for vulgar shows of emotion either. IMO there is a time and place and people shouldn't inflict themselves on others unnecessarily.

But as far as Dorian's actual display of emotion goes in the game itself, you can really see the whole team effort there: the writing, the animation, and the voice acting. They all come together to create this wonderfully expressive character that I just can't get enough of.

Skyhold, Inquisitor's Chambers

Inquisitor: Maybe its from stress?

Dorian: It's nothing, so I froze my hand to the bedpost in my sleep. It doesn't mean that I have arcane incontinence, that hasn't happened since I was six.

Inquisitor: Well now, that sounds like a story.

Dorian: (sighs) Picture me if you would as a boy of six. Mother, no doubt trying to stave off a sense of ennui decided to redecorate our entire villa in the style of Archon Therion. Now, sitting right outside my bedroom door is this big, snarling dragon stature hewn from solid obsidian. Not a problem during the day, but at night (shudders). Every night for a week I'd run into my father's study in the middle of the night certain that it was going to come alive and eat me.

Inquisitor: What happened then?

Dorian: He eventually tired of me barging in and decided that it was high time thatI learned to defend myself. Each night before I went to sleep he'd leave his staff next to my bed and I'd pick it up and hold onto it for dear life while I slept.

Inquisitor: Isn't it a bit dangerous to give a child a magical weapon?

Dorian: I hadn't come into my magic yet, so at the time it was just a big stick. Anyway, one night my mother runs in and starts yelling at me. Such a bother. By the time I finally come to I notice that I had blown a hole clean though my bedroom door and had rendered that hideous statue in to a fine pile of dust. As soon as father dashes in to find out what all the commotion is he realizes that his boy is a mage after all. How heartwarming.

Inquisitor: That's adorable.

Dorian: Yes, well don't go spreading it around. The last thing I need is Vivienne sneering about my "little problem".

Adaar's death glare yoh, don't be playin.

 

 

I know he's a necromancer but does that really mean he has to turn into the Undertaker?

 

 

Okay so this one is more of an Adaar-screenie but can you really blame me?

 

 

Can't decide whether I like his ass or those gorgeous windows better.

Pretty much XD.

Slightly off topic but I rewatched "Speed Racer" last night.  Ramon Tikaram was fun to watch as a Race Commentator the first time around, but now because of Dorian there is an added dimension.  I was grinning every time Ramon appeared on the screen talking rapid fire and doing all the sorts of vocal inflections and excitement we expect from commentators.  I sorta feel bad as I try to keep the Ramon and Dorian separate in my mind because as an actor he was already awesome before Dorian.  But it's really hard to not think "DORIAN!" when I see him now  

[Melbella]

So I guess I need to add to the fun since I finished my Dorianmance yesterday. He was quite happy that both he and Olinar survived. One squishy mage romancing another on NM mode....he'd better be ecstatic!

I was sooo happy when he said that. Especially since I had previously romanced Cullen and Solas so neither of them say anything like that during that part. It was a really nice surprise

 

i'm really anxious to start my next PT to romance him with a Elf Templar, going to do the slow burn route with him though I'll be doing mage path this time so slow burn sort of? Also I am totally not telling him about the amulet this time around. Whoever mentioned that was an option I saw the video and his reaction is totally priceless, I must do that But I need to slog through my current PT of a Qunari Mage I made for Sera, not sure if I'll make it though ><

Yes lots of this! We should be able to like posts more than once!

 

Also the one at the end always makes me cry... Especially when the line which was cutout is said, when he says "that's you Will, your father heard that". /instant tears

Eeeee CHAUCER! He is not in that movie nearly enough for my liking. Paul Bettany is sadly one of those actors that seems to be relegated to sidekick status. He doesn't get very many leading roles (although Priest was surprisingly good.)
 
Now, that Chaucer, Varric, and Dorian are a dream team. I'll take it!

Excellent plan.  But at some point Dorian is required to make this face when Chaucer runs down the rail and does a flying L L <--  R H, "Fist of Shank" power combo in a Knight's face.  

And he needs to be wearing this bow tie.

I had to stop reading this thread at work until it turned over to page 780 since someone posted the nudie shot of Dorian!

Haha, yeah.  Failure of the NSFW spoiler tag.  I've seen the naked backside so many times I failed to notice.  I've probably had it open at work 3 or 4 times   Sad though.  There's quite a bit going on after the naked Dorian pics.

[Forsythia77]

Well, I won't be able to seeeeee it.  At least not here in the office!    And at home the last thing I want to do is actually log onto my computer after spending 8 hours on one at work. Funny though I work at a non-profit related to nursing so I'm sure that it is not anything any of the actual nurses have not seen, but still, the office has rules against booty. Their loss.

 

Also, I've rolled another female  to be Dorian's bestie.  I made her say that Dorian led her on with the flirting.  But that she would be put out if he stopped doing so. 

[KellinC]

Not so strict here.  I work in art assets and as happens one day I look across the floor at another artist working who just so happens has a reference photo up on the other monitor of a nude man.  Not sure if he had been interrupted while scrolling over the picture but the camera happens to be centered on l'accoutrements. I couldn't let that pass so I sent something salacious and uncalled for over the inter-office chat.

Well, what you missed were some Dorian child drawings and a proposal by the good resident Doctor for an Inquisition themed "Knights Tale" trip to the jousts complete with Geoffrey Chaucer and Joust commentator, Dorian (A voice actor reference).
