Yeah, I don't know, if they'd kept his look consistent I think it wouldn't have been as jarring, but it seems to change from one slide to the next - e.g. his appearance looks pretty different in the slide on being attacked, which appears after the slide of him being on the balcony. Who knows, it's Dorian; maybe he just wanted to try out a different hairstyle for a bit, then decided it was a styling experiment gone wrong.

 

 

Spoiler

Haha that could very well be the case. Maybe the right slide also took place before the left one. It's probably a design oversight though - they probably made the right slide before deciding that they would make Dorian like that. Or it could've been completely intentional - who knows!

Slightly, although I thought he looked a bit aged in the Tresspasser DLC regardless. It reminded me of this earlier piece of concept art - and I think if he appears in DA4 it will look similar to that.

While I think Dorian already has a great design, I must admit I kinda prefer him with his hair grown out a little, Cavalier-style. It makes him look a tad more distinguished and authorative, which he might need to appear in order to handle the Magisterium.

I agree. Also his new design and that concept art reminds me of Darken Rahl from Legend of the Seeker

My next playthrough of Trespasser will be with a Dorian romanced Inquisitor.  

 

My lower lip kept protruding uncontrollably when he yet again said 

Spoiler

That the Inquisitor is his only friend.

 

What about Mae?  What about Felix?  Urgh, stop making me want to give you hugs, Dorian. Just stop. 

 

Speaking of Mae, does anyone else find it exceptionally weird that at no point in the entire game, do we get a conversation between Dorian and Varric where they find out both of them know her? Especially since Varric talks about knowing Grey Wardens to Blackwall, mentions both Tallis and having the two Arishok's he's met to Bull... yet he never once brings up to Dorian that he's pseudo-related to a member of the Magisterium?

 

Bit of an oversight, especially since they seem to be building up Mae as an important character.

THAT has always annoyed me! Ok, fair enough that Mae was added in at the last minute in the main game. But there should've been at least one banter/cutscene of them talking about her in the Trespasser DLC.

Thanks!

So just finished Trespasser. And oh my, I never broke up Dorian and Inq! So happy. Although a little dissatisfied they don´t live together. I guess the Inq does not have many years left anyway...? (Considering what Solas said about running out of time)

However, the next DA will be in Tevinter? So Dorian will probably play a huge role in that game? He was beside the Inq at the war table at the end, so I was wondering if he still would be beside Inq if the was not romanced? (thus probably telling us he will play a major part in the nexr DA

 

I haven't done Trespasser on either of my Dorian romanced dudes yet (I was being super brave by clicking the spoiler tag!) but Dorian is definitely not in that scene if he isn't romanced, even if he is bestestest friends with the Inquister. So it is specific to the romance

[Gervaise]

It is very annoying; I can't seem to get the spoiler tag to work but I don't think the following reveals too much:

 

If you have seen the artwork for Dorian in WoT2, he looks more like the Dorian in the epilogue slide, so may be the same person did both.   I think it may be based on concept art for Dorian that was revealed some years back.    At least the Dorian in the epilogue slide doesn't have a ring through his nose like WoT2 did.    So I wouldn't read too much into the look of Dorian in the slide.

[themikefest]

Never posted in this thread. I like Dorian. Good character and does very well in combat

Dropping in simply to bump Dorian back on to page 1.     Don't think it is spoiling too much to say that it seems like a sure fire certainty we are going to be seeing a lot more of Dorian in the next instalment.    I think he will be the link between the two games, just like Varric was for DA2.     Hope whoever takes him over from Gaider does him justice.    The only down side is that they haven't even given an indication of when the next game might be so we may well have to be very patient.

 

I keep replaying the scenes with romanced Dorian in Trespasser because they are just so wonderful.

[winteriscoming]

Personally, I am very happy with the way Dorian's romance culminated in Trespasser. It was the kind of situation I expected from the beginning, because Dorian made no secret of his dedication to Tevinter. I always loved the idea of Dorian and the Inquisitor being devoted to each other and in love, but also separated (for the time being) due to their duties. I imagine it's the kind of relationship Dorian never would have considered possible for himself...although, any kind of relationship probably seemed that way to him pre-Inquisition.

 

From an RP pov though, I wish there had been an option to end the romance or react with more anger. The inquisitor I played Trespasser with first would NOT have been down for that situation and would not have been gentle about it. He's my ******* Lavellan and I love him dearly but he's a real muppet sometimes. I understand, however, that none of the romances had an option to end them? I also understand why there probably was not that option, what with it getting messy to handle a variety of situations regarding the Inquisitor/LI in the next game with dialogue, etc.

 

On a side note, Ramon Tikaram did an AMAZING job with Dorian in Trespasser. Obviously, he did an amazing job with Dorian in every single scene and with every single line from the beginning, but his "concerned/terrified lover" gave me all the feels in Trespasser.

[Gervaise]

To be honest what I thought was off was that very poor "joke" from Varric to Cassandra about marriage.   I tell her basically that many a true word spoken in jest and that it wouldn't be such a bad idea.    She was real sweetheart in telling me to follow my heart, so I rushed off to see Dorian and well, if you've played Trespasser, then you know what follows next.     It was almost as bad if you romanced Cassandra because the reunion between us was excruciatingly embarrassing.    Why did the writers feel it necessary to put that in?    To mock us romantics who might have actually liked that idea?   

 

Don't get me wrong, I thought the whole Dorian romance arc in Trespasser was great but that was despite that stupid joke, not in any way because of it.

Yea that convo is also painful weird and awkward for a Lavellan who romanced Solas. Particularly annoying was my Lavellan had literally just told Viv she hadn't really gotten over Solas leaving and then Cass went and had that convo   I do wish there had been an alternate dialogue for these cases.

[devSin]

I was fine with Dorian leaving. I also didn't really mind Varric's joke.

My problem is that the conversation where he tells you he's leaving is really limited (in the end, the only way you can react is the same whether you've romanced him or not, and it was woefully inadequate for the things I'd want to say to and hear from him then), and the epilogue has too much of a "booty call" feeling for me to really be satisfied by it. The friendship path seems more endearing than the romance there, and I think that's a main source of my disappointment.

You're glossing over multiple important details in his interactions with a romanced Inquisitor.

Spoiler

You're ignoring the fact the man flat out says he loves you and openly kisses you in public and if pressed will verbally declare his commitment to the relationship (there will always be an 'us'). So all that coming from mister 'I have to speak in coded opposites because I can't let my guard down enough to express my real feelings' at the end of the vanilla game, is a huge deal that people seem to be awfully quick to take for granted. And I definitely didn't infer anything remotely close to 'booty call' from the epilogue and I think seeing it that way requires making a hugely unfounded leap but it's your prerogative if you want to read into it like that, I guess.

 

I've been mostly not clicking spoilers because I have done either of my Dorian romances yet, but I'm happy I clicked this one. Feels very reassuring

[devSin]

I'm not glossing over anything; it's not related to what I was saying.

Spoiler

The reaction you can have when he tells you he's leaving is the same whether he was romanced or not; you basically get to say "you don't have to go" with no particular emotion, "good luck", or "there's nothing else to say". I didn't find any of these responses to really be satisfactory for my Inquisitor, nor for the nature of the relationship with Dorian. Which happens to be exactly what I said.

But hey, thanks for the condescension. It always makes the evenings more enjoyable.

Look guys! Rule 63 Dorian.

 

[Dr. Doctor]

With Dorian's story arc, changing his gender wouldn't impact things too much.

Here's another one:

I feel like even woman! Dorian needs his mustache. >.>

Yeah, even with Rule 63 in place, the idea of a female Dorian who's not a lesbian and had to face the same problems in Tevinter as her canon counterpart, seems to me like it'd be a bit of a disservice to the character.

Did anyone else get thrown off by (Trespasser spoiler) 

Spoiler

Dorian's appearance in the epilogue slide where he's standing on the balcony with Maevaris, where it looks like he's aged significantly and has let his hair grow out (and his hairline's receding or something)? I thought "man, being a magister must be stressful to age Dorian that much". But in other slides (e.g. Bull's romance) he looks younger, and if he's in the final scene at the new war room table he looks the same as always - maybe it was just a weird drawing.

 

I think they were 'taken' at different points in time. The IB/Dorian one's seemed relatively recent but the ones where he and Mae are standing and looking down like he's delivering a speech implies to me it's after he's garnered some success back in the Imperium. And yeah, it looks like a not-insignificant amount of time has passed. His moustache has definitely levelled up. Who knows. Maybe that was the first ever shot of Archon Pavus.

[Sifr]

I feel like it should be canon that Dorian's moustache automatically levels up with each new stage of badass he reaches... kinda like a Super Saiyan?
