Dorian likes Sera, but not the other way around

Actually Sera likes Dorian, just not magic.

 

 

 

Sera: So you're fat with it, right?

Dorian: Me? Are you referring to...?

Sera: Do you sleep on silk while gold shits down all over you? Are you rich?

Dorian: I left all that behind. Although I do miss the gold-shitting from time to time.

Sera: You really left it, huh? Knew you weren't all bad.

 

 

Sera: What, Dorian? Stop looking at me.

Dorian: I'm wondering if familiarity would cure your suspicion of magic.

Sera: I don't need to be familiar with your tool.

Dorian: Please stop saying "tool," and consider how much magic can accomplish. There are benefits for you and everyone; as the Maker said, "magic exists to serve."

Sera: I don't care. I like you, Dorian. Don't ruin it.

 

 

Sera: The people back in Tevinter, are they all just like you, Dorian?

Dorian: Meaning what, exactly?

Sera: You know; not scary, keeping their magic rubbish to themselves.

Dorian: I'm going to take that as a compliment. Sadly, there's an element there who would welcome Corypheus with open arms. A stupidly short-sighted element.

Sera: I know right? He's a pissbag.

Dorian: Ha! Quite.

As to Inquisition relationships, Sera and Blackwall are brilliant.

 

 

 

Sera: So do all Gray Wardens have beards?

Blackwall: Just me. I stole all the beards, and all the power stored within. There can be only one.

For me it's a close call between Cole/Cassandra and Cole/Solas. It is touching and a demonstration of the integrity behind Cassandra's hardarse duty-mindedness to watch her attitude change from "SKEWER THE DEMON!" to almost sisterly affection. Cole, of course, is kind to everyone, but I had the impression that he puts in special effort to earn Cassandra's trust. Since he is my all-time favourite Bioware character and she is not far behind, I was overjoyed when they started to bond with each other. Bonus "Aw!" points for the two times he refers to the two of them as "Faith and Compassion" -- it's like Cassandra gets to be an honorary spirit. The only thing that sours this friendship is the immersion-breaking oversight of it not being reflected anywhere outside their banters. Same with her cautious curiosity about the Fade and even concern for its creatures shown in a few banters with Solas, which is another interesting and surprising positive relationship that I enjoy a lot.

 

Solas' bond with Cole on the other hand is, of course, entirely unsurprising and utterly wonderful for its mutual affection, respect and unique understanding, as well as the wistful mysticism and insight in their talks about the Fade and spirits. That is pure poetry, I could listen to them for hours.

 

Together, these three are definitely the highlight of the game and far and wide my preferred party combination.

 

Honorary mentions to Cole's interactions with Dorian and Blackwall (especially more-spirit Cole and post-Revelations Blackwall) for the very well-done combination of touching, thoughtful and unintentionally humorous moments. Looking back at the Cole/Blackwall banters provides so many clues about Blackwall's big secret. For example, the time he asks if Blackwall's beard is a mask? Turns out it is, because Rainier grew it to make himself look more like the real Blackwall. And as for Dorian, Cole is the one companion that I felt Dorian allows himself to be open and vulnerable with, at times. He so badly needs people around whom he doesn't feel he has to hide behind bluster or humor.

 

For a mostly light-hearted and humorous change of pace from all this deeper stuff, Dorian and Varric are a great combination. Gotta love their outrageous bets and banters.

 

Dorian: You said we'd be ass-deep in trouble. This is more like knee-high.

Varric: I didn't specify whose ass, did I?

I loved Isabela and Merrill.  It really showed some depth to Isabela's character.  Good stuff.

 

 

I liked the part where Terribl joined the Circle mages to stop Hawke and the Templars' annulment, and then Isabela finished her off with Twin Fangs.

Lol, thats evil man.
Hell, I hate Merrill, but making Isabela kill her is too wicked for me, she really cares about her.

[barkspawnVEVO]

Origins: Wynne and romanced Alistair
Awakening: Anders and Oghren

2: Varric and everyone
Inquisition: Varric and Cassandra, Dorian and Sera

[Toasted Llama]

I did, it stays as is.

.... Right. I forgot Merril's and Tali's interactions In Dragon Effect 2.

 

 

 

Either way, back on topic, I realized I also liked Anders/Oghren in Awakening. Or Oghren/Anyone, for that matter...

[dixophilia]

Shale and Sten

Isabela and Merrill

Varric and Merrill

Dorian and Vivienne

Sera and Blackwall

Cassandra and Vivienne

[Gaesesagai]

Dorian and Cole:

D: Cole, the wooden duck that I found on my bed... was that you?

C: No... I'm not a wooden duck...

 

Dorian and Solas:

D: Ah... Solas, you startled me. You're always so... nondescript...

S: Please speak up! I cannot hear you over your outfit!

[Catche Jagger]

DAO: Oghren. Just his banter in general

 

DA2: Isabela and Aveline

 

DAI: Sera and Blackwall

[NWN-Ming-Ming]

DAO:  Shale +Pigeons; possibly tied with Morrigan with Alistair's Voodoo Doll

DA2: Isabella & Aveline, BFF's forever!

DAI: Sera & Dorian tied with Sera & Blackwall

[Knight of Dane]

Zevran/Wynne and Sten/Morrigan in Origins.

 

Merrill/Varric and Bethany/Isabela in 2

 

Vivienne/Solas is surprisingly snarky. Also liked Cassandra/Iron Bull in Inquistiion.

[(Disgusted noise.)]

Anders/Nathaniel, Isabela/Aveline, Dorian/Sera

I'm not gonna get much love for this opinion of mine, but I found most of the banter in Dragon Age 2 and Inquisition to be cheesy and tasteless. Unlike Origins, where I enjoyed the banter across almost all companions.

 

That is, here are ones I found excellent;

 

Dragon Age Origins

-Alistair and Morrigan

-Morrigan and Leliana

-Morrigan and Wynne

-Sten and Zevran

-Loghain and Dog

 

Dragon Age 2

-Sebastian and Fenris

-Sebastian and Isabela

 

(For ALL the hate Sebastian gets from DA fans...he has excellent dialogues with other companions, and is not as fanatical as people claim. I really enjoyed his combination of inspiration/faith and pragmatism).

 

Dragon Age Inquisition

-Cassandra and Solas (most at least, some are really cheesy)

-Dorian and Vivienne 

-Cassandra and Cole

 

 

And that's about it, honestly.

[DuskWanderer]

DA2 did this the best out of any group. 

 

For DA: I, there was still a good job. Banter even livened Sera up somewhat. Blackwall was a bit too meek, and Dorian was extremely and unjustifyably full of himself, which made him annoying. 

 

I also liked the conversations the advisors had with their messangers. 

[Madrict]

Dorian and Iron Bull hooking up is pretty awesome

[Get Magna Carter]

Sera and Solas

 

(someone had to say it)

[Beomer]

Anyone with Dorian in DAI.

And in DAO, am I the only one who liked Sten and Shale banter? I mean, gay relationships stand aside we had something far more in DAO. Does no one remember the banter where Shale and Sten are going on about how awesome a warrior the other one is?

• Shale: I wish to say that it has been pleasant fighting at the Qunari's side.
• Sten: I feel the same. You are a remarkable construct, kadan. A warrior to be feared.
• Shale: No more than the Qunari, surely. The way it strikes down its foes, marvelous!
• Sten: I smile each time you roar a battle cry, knowing our foes tremble.
• Shale: I could watch you fight all day long—the skill you display, the form, how the light plays on its muscles... I mean... yes. Well done. With the fighting.
• Sten: You, as well.
• Shale: Right.

Shale was a female Dwarf before her golemisation (this is the word I'm using to describe it anyhoo). Seems she kept a love of giant, flexing muscles after the procedure too. 

[Yaroub]

None can top Morrigan and Alistair banter, especially if one of them is in romance with HOF, but then again i am biased.

 

Morrigan is the best romance in the game, while Alibear is the ultimate bro. 

[ApocAlypsE007]

DA:O:

-Morrigan and Sten - The anti-social Morrigan trying to hit on Sten was very funny

-Wynne and Zevran - Zevran and his bosom fetish

-Leliana and Sten - Tormenting Sten about him liking flowers xD

-Morrigan and Oghren - Oh dear drunken antics

 

DA2:

-Aveline and Isabela - Grew to like each other while still hurling insults at each other

-Varric and Isabela - Good friends laughing at all the ridiculousness around them

 

DA:I:

-Blackwall and Sera - Unlikely pair and very funny

-Vivienne and Bull - The mom Bull never had

-Vivienne and Sera - It is always funny hearing Vivienne trolling Sera
