  • After a lot of back and forth flirtation between the FemQuisitor and Dorian, any romantic intentions she had were put to an end when a revealing family reunion takes place regarding the actions of Dorian's disapproving father. Despite being romanticly led on, she seems to have gained a best friend in Dorian.

    Played female Dalish mage first time around.
    Me: Hm, that Tevinter mage seems interesting.
    Dorian: In another life...
    Me: Damn, fine I'll go for the fade nerd then.
    Solas: In another world...
    Damn you Bioware! Ouch.

      Just like me, "Romancing" Dorian isn't a bad thing, it's improving our relationship and it's playful, which suits perfectly my mage Trevelyan. She's flirting with whomever she can, including scout Harding and even the first Enchanter bitch.

      Nothing is ever truly black and white in regards to human behaviour. You could be the most butch, macho alpha male out there and be sexually attracted to men, or on the flip side you could be the most flamboyant over dramatic type of person (The personality type quite often stereotyped for gay males) but be attracted to women. It's just how it is. Dorian is Dorian, my friend. :)

This just made him seem so much more real compared to some of the other characters. He has a permanent place on any future playthroughs.

  • @SWolfmoon
    @SWolfmoon Před 9 lety +27

    From the moment Dorian arrived on my screen, I knew that I would eventually have to break my 'I only play RPGs as a female character' rule and make a male Inquisitor so I could romance the pants off him one day (and even with as much as I loved Fenris in DA2, I never felt the urge to play male Hawke). I LOVE THIS GAME. I do not, however, love the bugs. Three patches in and my game crashes to desktop without warning now (the crashes before were very few and far between) for what seems to be no reason whatsoever, and the sound will now cut out without warning as well, causing me to have to quit the game entirely and restart. I can't wait until BioWare fixes these nasty bugs, because until they do, my boyfriend (the one who introduced me to Dragon Age when we got together 5 years ago) refuses to play it until the majority of the kinks are worked out. Thanks for posting this video!! Such a heartbreaking story and scene!

Would you like for me to call you a "straight best friend", huh? Oh wow that sounds so nice, don't you think so too --sarcasm---?...

    As a not-straight woman this is... amazing.
    Parents, even eventually accepting parents, are often... afraid. This shows the difficulty of having a parent who is afraid, who is uncertain, who would be willing to try to "change" their children for "their" own good. Even parents who do not consider conversion therapy can hurt their children. I hope this character and story will help a few people consider human sexuality, and the effects of even "well-meaning" homophobia with a more open eye.

      Lee Hales I don't think dorian would approve, he may be angry at his father for the rest of his life, but even dorian know that his father is far from being a totally evil person and I doubt he want him dead. He is aware his father truly regrets what he has done.

    i do wish they'd had a more tactful way to comment on your own sexuality // your inquisitor's sexuality, though. i didnt choose the "explain that" option because it really rubbed me the wrong way, but i would have loved to tell him that i feel for him. i'll just have to push through that question in my next playthrough, i guess.

  • @azazeldryland3997
    @azazeldryland3997 Před 9 lety +21

    Back in DA2, I was sometimes angered when I was trying to be best buddies with guys like Anders and then make them feel bad when I rejected their bisexual advances. But now I was kind of sad that Dorian wasnt bisexual because I wanted to romance him with a fem mage inquisitor. I really liked the idea of marrying into a Tevinter noble house and producing the heir that was needed. Thats my opinion though.
    (Disclaimer: I do not have any problems with Homosexuality.)

    • @donovan9456
      @donovan9456 Před 9 lety +18

      This is the reason why I think that Dorian is one of the best characters in the game!
      I have no problems with homosexuality, in fact I thought Bioware was scoring a serious amount of points by having strictly gay characters like Dorian and Sera. It felt like a huge step forward in the right direction! Yet this is how clever the writing of Dorian is: it made me question my own opinions on sexuality. I am a straight female, and have never been anything else. However, talking and flirting with Dorian as a fem-inquisitor really made me want to romance him, I really liked him and as you said, wanted to marry him and give him the Tevinter heir. But I knew he was strictly gay, so I sat there and I thought to myself: can I make a male inquisitor and romance Dorian? There's the brilliance: not SHOULD I, but CAN I? It made me question what I was comfortable with, and even though I still campaign for gay rights and the equal treatment of homosexuals, it made me wonder if there was something wrong with me that I still only wanted to romance Dorian as a female. In the end, I decided that we should just be friends, and that I can dream of him and his fabulous moustache! ;)

    @LydiaKrow Před 2 lety +5

    One of the reasons I love Dorian so much is because he flirted with my female Lavellan, and I chose the "keep flirting with me" option and he was delighted. it hit me in the feels because it was almost exactly what happened with one of my best friends IRL, right down to "in another life." After that, Dorian was my BFF. I love that he sees her strong spirit and femininity even if he isn't interested romantically. Flirting isn't just about sex, it's about connection. So amazing to see that in a game!

    I kinda had the feeling Dorian was at least open to men from the beginning, as bi/homosexuality in Dragon Age companions is pretty normal. Didn't expect him to be strictly gay, though. Trying to think, were there any other companions that were strictly gay or is Dorian a first? Regardless, good companion. Probably my favorite. Or Blackwall.

    I don't like it when games make all the NPCs you can romance conveniently bisexual so everyone gets a chance with the character they like, I think it makes characters appear kinda shallow and generic, whereas Bioware characters having different sexualities makes them much deeper and more compelling, I hope they keep doing this in their future titles (if they ever do more, that is).

    At my second playthrough I had a "female" Inquisitor (writing that in quotationmarks since I played them out as a trans character). When that scene played, it felt inappropriate to me chosing that "you led me on" option. The poor man already had his package to carry there, so I sure as hell didn't want him to feel bad about this. So they never spoke about this, but they kept fun-flirting with each other after becoming besties.
    I kinda like that idea of them being so cool with each other, they simply foul around/ appreciate each other like that.
    However - good that we have YT to see other choices - I find it really cool, that even if you tell him you led him on, you still have this "lets keep flirting" option.

    With Fallout 4 implementing romance, I hope they do it like Bioware and not that cheap hollow bullshit in Skyrim. Those were just fucking drones with no personality. But considering how Bethesda plays it safe and just wants to please everyone, I doubt it.

    Never quite got why Dorian enjoyed flirting with a female Inquisitor. I mean it is confusing for someone who claims to hate to pretend he's something he's not so why do it? Fun? I guess it might be but it's also rather dishonest. His whole thing seems to be centered on being as outrageous as possible and living that as his motto. I like him, I genuinely do, and consider him a close friend to my femInquisitor but I don't get the flirting. It is fun, yes, but it also seems to go against all he says here about his life and not wanting to pretend it to be something else.
    Then again, he readily embraces becoming a megister when his father is killed despite loathing the idea most of his life. He could always marry Maevaris. She's a transgender anyway with no physical means of having children. They'd be the perfect couple and they wouldn't have to pretend a damn moment of their lives together. And that would surely have his father spinning in his grave for all time.

      In 1-1 conversation, I'd try to see where they both were coming from. They both had been treated like crap for being different, and had no acceptance. Once I realized that, I took them out to play more, and they became partners in my antics.
