Agreed. I think a part of what makes Dorian so adorable and lovable is his fiery will and sensibility - he's wild and free and feisty, and I don't think he'd have been okay with even playing pretend at a marriage. Throwing some angry slighted wife into the mix would take the focus away from Dorian and the decisions he's already made and would feel like a needless literary addendum. We have to remember that one of the reasons he's with us in the Inquisition is that he opposes what Tevinter stands for today and not just because of his sexual orientation. The cutthroat, backstabbing, manipulative mage power grabbing is a huge part of that decision to leave, more so because of how his

parents decided it was okay to manipulate him and mold him into something he wasn't. He wasn't going to just sit and take any of that.

 

Honestly, asking for his character to be changed so much is basically asking for an entirely new character all together. I don't think he'd be the same. I like him the way he is, all fire and cheekiness and righteous rebellion.

Exactly! I think his story with an angry slighted wife instead would have been a story that the people who wanted to romance him wouldn't have identified with. It would have been written for a different audience than his potential romance partners. Whether or not it's "modern", well that is the mindset of the audience the writers are trying to invoke an emotional response from (and I could point out that Shakespeare explored a lot of questions of gender roles, etc. so the questions aren't precisely new even if our answers and responses are different). If it doesn't resonate with you, it probably wasn't written with you in mind.

Yup, the two main guys in the show become boyfriends, one of which is Gareth David-Lloyd, Solas' VA.

Omfg? I totally forgot that Ianto voiced Solas. IANTO WAS THE BOMB

 

Wow okay, despite what people have been saying about Solas' romance I'm seriously thinking about trying it out sometime just for kicks because Gareth was seriously amazing in Torchwood and Solas and I have been pretty friendlike since the start of the game woopdeedoo

Honestly, I thought the Holocrons were a lot easier, just because the controls are so responsive.  In this game, there's the whole sliding thing when you let the button go and the floppy camera thing.  Ugh, I hate the PC controls in this game SO MUCH.

 

On a different note, I got to Skyhold and ditched Solas after the Fade kiss (since I know from real life when a guy says being with him is a bad idea, it's best to take him at his word).

I flirted with Cullen and got the whole "I won't let it happen again" protective comment and the "not in Kirkwall" comment.  (Awwww...)  And I told him I respect his decision not to take lyrium.

 But I don't think the romance has started yet.  How do I know when it has started and do I need to do anything except keep clicking on him every time I come home to Skyhold?

The chess scene will bring you closer to the romance with Cullen, but as you complete main quests you will see the romance progress.

If he dances with you at the ball then you know you are set

And Merrill is Gwen and Ser Blahblahblah, the templar chasing Gascard DuPuis was also in Torchwood.

Gwen...now it make sense...I'm just gonna go...lay down...

I haven't really seen anything new other then that

 

as for the encrypted part not necessarily all game files  are encrypted due to the specific file structure it just takes some reverse engineering to decrypt those  just like Ehamloptiran and Voider did with those tools for us to see the files

 

My goodness gracious me but you are going to busy. Any chance for proper black hair (that doesn't take a degree in computer science to use)?

[gottaloveme]

To whoever you are that helped me with the Saharion comes the dawn quest - thankyou. All going smoothly now. Sorry for answering like this but Cullen thread is freakin' huge and I can't find you again.

Something Cullen related now, did anyone else notice the

change in his voice at the first cut scene in haven? The one with the lecture?

 

 

at round 1:12

 

Or is it just me?^^ Somehow bugs me a bit everytime I hear it o_O

My goodness gracious me but you are going to busy. Any chance for proper black hair (that doesn't take a degree in computer science to use)?

Yeah, I had an elf with black hair in the prologue, then boom, brown hair.

[Adela]

would you be releasing the first one for females? i think its so cute!   

all of the hairs will be available for both genders

[Adela]

My goodness gracious me but you are going to busy. Any chance for proper black hair (that doesn't take a degree in computer science to use)?

it might be a bit tricky because this time around they made  some of the textures very different compared to previous games... at 1st i thought it was just the specular map that was making the black hair shiny but thats not the case.  I think its because of the new shaders they put in and the new mechanics for customization, because the texture maps for hair lashes and eyebrows have really weird colors..... but me  Renmiri1 and Silvist are gonna try to sort it out

[Tielis]

Just keep on clicking^^

 

Spoiler

You get some more scenes, Lyrium, his nemesis if sided with mages and chess scenes. After that, next one should start the romance.

 

Thanks!  

Spoiler

I got the nemesis quest but the chess game scene hasn't happened yet.  Do I need to complete the nemesis quest ASAP or can I wait on that?  Will not doing it right away slow everything down?

Is that a PC bug?

Just bad CC lighting, I think.

 

Is there even a proper black? Someone else said they tried to give quizzy black hair but it turned out to be dark gray.

Yeah, same. It looks almost blue-black in the CC lighting, but in Haven and most other places, it's a dark gray or dull, dark brown.

Cullen just said he needs to do some calibrations on the trebuchets

 

WTF. Garrus all over again ?

 

What is it with men and their toys ???

[CuriousArtemis]

And yet Cassandra's hair is always a gorgeous, lustrous black. Not fair!

This is Laurel (Cullen's candy) and her hair is as black as Cassandra's in the game but in the prologue it looked kind of blue-black.

When did you get this???

That sudden and unexpected Mass Effect reference actually made me choke on my beverage lol.  Especially when either Leliana or Josephine (forgot which) asks how many times he's gonna do that.  =P

[Boomshakalakalakaboom]

I just noticed that Cullen and the Inquisitor have matching halla statues in their rooms. That is so going in to head-canon!

No, that's just the first part.

 

Spoiler

you can get this quest very early if you're rushing through main quest so you can be a bit underleveled to go to a certain area. It's just a cutscene of him telling you about it. Don't remember the order in which I got it, but I "think" it was, Nemesis, Lyrium, Chess. All in Skyhold. After that you get to the "good" parts. *All cutscenes with Cullen are good, but the next one is.... better  *

Hey totally OT, but you know how Dorian has this thing where he'll kill an enemy and its ghost will continue to fight on his behalf? I reeeeally want to see this with a high dragon xD

It has never worked for me on anything big like giants or dragons but that would be pretty cool if it did. 

[Lilaeth]

Same! I wouldn't alter anything about that wonderful man for all the world. I enjoy how much he enjoys flirting with a female Inquisitor, just for the fun of it. I enjoy his personal quest, every conversation, every banter. His fashion sense! Oh maker, his fashion sense...That alone is worth so much. 

 

I enjoy how

Spoiler

he greatly approves if you tell him you like flirting anyway, and you don't want to stop just because it won't go anywhere.

 

He was actually the first companion I seemed to become BFF's with. It was absurdly touching.  

 

My first male Inquisitor is designed specifically for Dorian, and I'm pretty excited about it. 

 

Dorian reminds me greatly of a friend of mine, so I treated him like I treat my friend, and we are now in-game besties!  (Before this particular friend came out at work, everyone assumed we were having this really steamy affair, which was the source of many giggles behind the locked door of his office!)
