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

 

My lower lip kept protruding uncontrollably when he yet again said 

Spoiler

 

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!

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 :)

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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 :)

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

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

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

Here's another one:

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

 

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. ;)

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?
