This is my eight or ninth playthrough and Dorians personal quest has not triggered - the one where he is supposed to meet his father. What gives?

 

I am at Skyhold, sided with the Templars,  but haven't completed the Hawke or the Celene Ball quest yet. I have finished the Hinterlands, the Storm Coast, Emerlad Graves, Crestwood and the Mire. I am just about to start Empress du Lyon...

 

I also never had my little dream sequence with Solas trigger the one where he takes me back to Haven.

 

I am playing a female, human mage romancing Cully.

 

I have sided with the Templars once, but it was so long ago I cant recall.... do you have to side with the Mages to trigger it?

Dorian's and Solas's approval needs to be 35+ to trigger their quests/the Fade scene.

 

If they haven't triggered yet it means they don't approve of what you do as an Inquisitor.

No, you definitely get it when you side with the templars. Sadly I can't tell you *what* exactly triggers it - I got it soon after reaching Skyhold. 

 

Dorian's wiki entry mentions a bug that could prevent his personal quest to trigger:

 

There was a known issue that kept the quest from triggering if Dorian's approval rating became too high before discussing the fate of Felix. An essential dialog would be skipped, resulting in Mother Giselle never appearing in Skyhold's main hall with the letter. This bug was fixed in Patch 5.

 

If you got the quest but cannot activate the cutscene at Redcliffe village's The Gull and Lantern, enter the tavern with Dorian as controlled character.[1] Another workaround is to save the game inside the Gull and Lantern, quit, and reload.

Does this sound like something that could have happened to you? The bug was supposedly fixed, but there were forum posts where people expressed doubt about that.

Dorian hasn't talked to me about Felix at all. How can we check approval status?

[Gervaise]

The bug was fixed and Dorian's quest triggering is entirely based on approval.   If you sided with Templars and allied with them, rather than conscripted them, then Dorian would have started off with very low approval.    Have you done the other quest where you go round killing off groups of Venatori?    Make sure you take him with you to get maximum approval out of it.    If you have done so and still not got his quest, then you may have to do another major quest that has a lot of potential approval attached.    Do Into the Abyss and recruit the Wardens as Dorian approves of that.    If you are not trying to romance him, then so long as you get the personal quest before you leave for the Arbor Wilds you will be okay, so you can do Wicked Eyes as well if you still haven't got enough approval from Into the Abyss.  

 

Solas is pretty much the same.   If you went the Templar path it will have lowered his approval considerably, particularly if you ally with them rather than disband and conscript them.  To get his approval up you need to make some decisions that he approves of.   Sadly, in the case of the Wardens, this will be the opposite choice (banish) to the one that gets Dorian's approval, so you may find you have to choose one or the other but will not get the improved approval of both.    However, you can get Solas' approval up by taking him on every journey where there are those artefacts that he likes to activate and also if you side with Solas over what to do with Cole.

 

I did have a human mage Inquisitor who allied with the Templars and yet still managed to get both Dorian's and Solas' approval up sufficiently to trigger both their personal quests and the relevant Fade sequence with Solas but it did involve a bit of meta gaming to ensure I had Solas with me at the right times to get approval.

Take Solas around with you to find the old elven artifacts, his approval will build up fast.

Also, Mother Gisele will appear in Skyhold in the great hall asking to speak to you, she's easy to miss. But it is about Dorian and his father. That's how you trigger Dorian's quest once you have high enough approval. 

[Gileadan]

As far as I know, there is no way in the game to find out your companion's approval rating, other than the tone of their greeting when you start a conversation with them.

 

For what it's worth, I allied with the templars and got his personal quest soon after reaching Skyhold, just by naturally going through his conversations. 

[duckley]

I have always gotten his quest too so it is weird.... oh well I will just keep on trying.

[NKnight7]

If you keep getting their approval than the quests should eventually pop up, there's no way to determine your approval status with them but if they aren't hostile or angry at you than that should indicate you're on their good side. Also try to talk to them every now and then, that might help.

If you side with Templars you're at a disadvantage but it's do-able. I managed to romance him and got a kiss before the Halamshiral Winter Palace Ball but after Adamant.

To build Dorian's approval to get his first war table mission (kill 3 Venatorii) you need to pick the snarky replies (seem to be the middle left option most often but check) when he's around, and be nice about mages and be nice about his homeland, and remember he's pretty sensitive so ask him how he is when you can, and talk to him about Tevinter and the black Divine etc. Always talk to him after the big battles (Adamant, Winter Palace Ball etc).

Dorian's father quest came up for me by the time i'd killed the second venatorii for the war table quest.

If you have to judge anyone who's a mage always use them or lock them up, don't make them tranquil because Dorian get very upset.

There are also a couple of war table quests where you can bash some venatorii or save someone from them (can't recall if you get approval for these but i did them to be on safe side).
