"You led me on" Female Human/Dorian Romance - Dragon Age: Inquisition

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.

I chose the "I like flirting" option and Dorian greatly approved haha I like the idea of them having a close and playfully flirty relationship considering she's with Cullen.

[@SanbaiSan]

+DanieBritsRainCloud Honestly, Dorian likes Cullen too, so flirting with them both would suit him quite well, I think!

[@DaniAh]

+SanbaiSan lol shoulda been a 3 way option.

[@magiv4205]

@@DaniAh yes, and for Iron Bull too!

[@Croftice1]

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.

[@spartanhuntergaming]

I keep thinking of flirting with Dorian on female Inquisitor

[@lifedevice]

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.

Meanwhile I got some serious action (and boobs!) with the butchest gal in Thedas! 😅

[@MJSpiritual]

Dorian's voice actor did a really good job during the meeting with his father. A painful encounter that is all too common. The realism helped this scene.

[@phantomparty2079]

MJSpiritual yes! I love Dorian's voice actor!! he's very talented

[@NinjutsuNinjaQueen]

"Women are fine creatures. You, for instance, are amazing above all others." D'aww!

Agreed. He's become one of my favourite party members. I think he's absolutely hilarious. xD

[@NinjutsuNinjaQueen]

He is! He's just awesome x3

[@Ancient_George]

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. :)

[@JustShin11]

+AncientGeorge agreed he my boy my homie forever ^_^

[@3hpleft]

The best thing about Dorian, even more then his wit and charm, is he is a good and loyal friend.

[@TheMadisonMachine]

I always wanted to know what would happen if you told Dorian he led you on. I never felt comfortable saying it. "Ho ho! Hello Dorian! Sorry your father is a prick, but I'm going to make this about me right now!" Poor Dorian. What a sweetheart.

[@xmilkteax]

+TheMadisonMachine I was afraid of that when I saw the title but I'm so happy it can still end on friendly terms. The friendship you can make between him and a female inquisitor is one of my favorite aspects of the game. He's just so sweet.

[@TheMadisonMachine]

***** He's by far my favorite character, and the only one I feel a true "best friends forever" kinship with. It's so surprising that Dorian refers to the Inquisitor as his only friend, considering his charisma and good heart.

[@TheMadisonMachine]

༼ つ◕ω◕ ༽つ Wise Doge Haha you have poor taste in role models!

[@TLawton911]

You can actually turn it to a sort of humorous friendly thing if you pick the "I like flirting" option after. She says "Desist? Don't you dare." as kind of a teasing thing and I think it works really well. Though i do see your point.

[@moonlight2870]

He's actualy pretty cool about It. SPECIALY If you tell him that the playful flirting can continue

[@spikegilfer1997]

[@HunterKiller762]

My sister spent a good half-hour creating her female elven mage, and fell head over heals in love with Dorian. When this scene played out, she was conflicted between crying or putting a bullet through her TV. She ended up locking herself in her room out of depression.

[@Ancient_George]

James Anderson I was going to like this comment, but then it ended in depression and I was like "Daaaaaaaaamn!" lol. But yeah, I'm playing it again at the moment and I think it's safe to say that Dorian is my favourite DAI companion, hands down. His banter is top notch.

[@MrBlackatheist]

James Anderson I don't know if that's depressing or hilarious.

[@Chunchunmaru18]

[@JMcCarthyworld]

RIGHT? everyone needs a Dorian. HE can celebrate you and your best self without any strings attached

[@Zenkx]

In the last choice, I chose to keep flirting with him. He approved, so now I still get the flirt options with him during some of his dialogues. All his snark and flirting makes me giggle. XD

[@Ancient_George]

I have a female elf in the works (I've yet to finish the game as a female yet lol), so I'll be checking that option out. Cheers for letting me know. Then again to be honest, I don't even know if I actually do continue to get the flirting options. This character is not that far from this point on. I should really work on not stopping playthroughs halfway through the game to start other characters lol xD Nasty habit.

[@alexsond3015]

Playing through for the third time now and I'm convinced that if I make another male inquisitor I'll just automatically romance Dorian. Sorry Cassandra, Dorian got me good with that flirting.

I'd probably be tempted to do that if i ever made a male inquisitor but its just so weirdly adorable to see Dorian and Bull together. Personally i make a female inquisitor every time because i liked the models and voice actors better

If i play a guy, I romance him, a girl, I get the best I can of the friendship. Love this boy

[@nooneisaslucky]

This scene really made me grow to love Dorian's character. I'm a lesbian, and while I never had to deal with something like this in my family, I've spoken to people who have. 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.

[@Powered1Buttercup]

People play this part and they still want to use the straight Dorian mod. Un fucking believable...

[@DarkWillUser]

Soundwave Well I am not going to begrudge them that. I don't consider that an anti-gay act. After all, I used the mod that let my male warden romance Alistair in Origins and there are mods to let males romance Solas and Blackwall. Turn about is fair play in my opinion. They just want to further customize their gaming experience and that is perfectly OK in my book! :)

[@Powered1Buttercup]

DarkWillUser I don't like those mods either, I despise mods that change a characters sexuality, it's just wrong.

[@FaeQueenCory]

+DarkWillUser Yeah. Because straight people continue to be tortured gay. Ruining their lives and often ending them as a result of their "therapy". Oh wait. That doesn't happen to straight people. It does to gay people. Even now. In America, no less at that. Those mods are offensive for the same reason a child molesting mod would be offensive to a victim of child molestation. Trying to say "oh there's straight=>bi/gay mods is the same". No. No it's not. No straight person is being tortured gay.

[@DarkWillUser]

FaeQueenCory are you kidding me? I'm gay and this is just a fucking game mod. If you don't want it in your game don't put it in. Jesus Christ, I really hope your post is satire and not serious.

[@rurounigirl20]

As a female inquisitor, can you continue flirting with Dorian for the entire game if you tell him you like flirting?

[@OneWingedHoneybee]

He actually approves of playful flirting, so yes

[@dondrebell2747]

It's weird I'm straight I never saw myself liking a gay character but Dorian is my inquisitors bro. I felt bad when he said "I wouldn't like that Dorian."

[@SWolfmoon]

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!

[@NinjutsuNinjaQueen]

It never fails. Even in medieval-set fantasy video games, the girl can have her gay best friend. x3

[@RuRuDaPirate]

gay best friend? Oh no, not again... Can people like you stop with this bullshit? Can't you fucking say "best friend"? Why do people like you always need to label somebody? Just simply say a "best friend", why all the labels? What does gay differ from anyone else, whether your gay or not, does it really matter? 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---?... What does sexual orientation have to do anything with a human's personality? Dorian is a great human, a great character with a wonderful personality who just happens to be gay and not a gay person who is meant to be your gay best friend...

[@NinjutsuNinjaQueen]

O.o Sorry, I really didn't mean to be offensive. Dorian is one of my absolute favorite characters and I love that you can still be very flirty with him and the two of you can become very close if you play a female. It was just a joke, a reference to how other forms of popular culture seem to portray scenarios of women that have the token "gay best friend" that they confide in. So yeah, it came across differently than I meant it. I apologize.

[@RuRuDaPirate]

Ahhh no i am sorry D: I was kind of mean, though i didn't mean anything with it. I just took it way too seriously... I got really angry for some reason -probs cuz hw made me really stressed out- xDD sorry again :P -hugs-

[@esmegaisford7931]

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.

[@Honk4frogs]

I honestly don't know if any line of voice acting will ever hurt me as much as the way he delivered that "you tried to.. change me". Honestly, so much hurt in a couple of words. The disbelieve, even after all those years, that his father would do such a thing. Amazing scene.

[@nobody2996]

I'm pissed that we didn't get the choice to gut Dorians father as soon as it was revealed that he tried to 'change' him. I've had enough of bloodly blood magic...

[@femtoservants]

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.

[@nobody2996]

femtoservants I don't care really, just say the word blood magic and I'm sliceing somone's head off. I really can't beleive that anyone logical would use blood magic after Dragon Age one and two both show how stupid using it is and how it NEVER ends well.

[@femtoservants]

Lee Hales So you would kill merill? Even Dorian is not totally against blood magic like he told you in one of his conversation, he is just against using the blood of someone else or summoning demon.

[@azazeldryland3997]

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]

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! ;)

[@azazeldryland3997]

Alicia Donovan I do agree with that, as he is my favorite companion. I was a little disappointed when I learned he lead my feminquistor on.

[@netgeekdoggirl]

[@LydiaKrow]

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!

[@sanguinecalamus191]

That's a pretty FemQuisitor.

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.

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).

When Dorian says “you tried to change me” his facial expressions kill me. Kudos to the model animators for getting the expressions absolutely spot on in this game

[@iang8032]

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.

I haven't played many BioWare games, but from this game and the ME trilogy, I don't know many other massive rpg games that have such great character writing, hell any type of game really. And I think Inquisition is the best one by far (from what Bioware games I've played only) 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.

the music that starts at 4:37, does anyone know where to find it without the voiceactors? :)

[@Strelcik]

o/ If you never actually found out it is called "In Hushed Whispers"

[@bradtorville5526]

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.

Title made me think you could actually romance him as a woman glad that's not true

[@mayachan4799]

He's so cool ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

[@Ancient_George]

He's freakin' hilarious too. I had him in my party more or less the whole time since the moment he joined, for my insanity playthrough. Dorian & Solas both spec'd as Spirit mages and also down their own specialization tree's (Horror & Rift Mage) made up for a great wee team. I also had Cassandra as Tank/Templar spec. Either way, it was freakin' cool. They all had great banter with each other too. lol

LOVE dorian :)

[@agathaharkness399]

Sorry but why they walk like that at the end😭

[@al27mr]

What's the armor Dorian is wearing?

[@ArmisHart]

ffs..I need to get this on pc or something lmao...in my scene Dorian's father didn't even have wrinkles.. oh 360...

[@Vaporeon_91]

My inquisitors, are always good friends with Dorian. Sera, Iron Bull, Dorian and Blackwall, The holy quad! Lol

[@tecs513]

How can you be friends with both Sera and Dorian? Sera is prejudiced, hateful, and closed minded. She hates people like Dorian, how do you balance a friendship between them?

[@Vaporeon_91]

@@tecs513 I never thought of it like that. When I first took them out to play, they didn't like each other. Then banter would be name calling, if I wasn't romancing the bull, bull would say something funny or encouraging. So I finally asked Sera what she thought of Dorian, she said he was fun. 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.

[@danielweeks2322]

How do get to do this mission?

[@abigaillewis9047]

Is it possible to meet with Dorian's father (aka get to a high enough approval rating with Dorian) without the romance? I'm pursuing a romance with Sera on my current playthrough, but I would still love to be best buds with him. Just minus the flirting so I don't risk ruining anything I might have w another character.

[@oceanus9111]

yes you can in the same run :)

[@sanablue]

You totally can! Almost all of the quests for your friends can be achieved through friendly interactions without romance. Just some are only for romantic relationships. (If you wanna know exactly, just look it up in the dragon age wiki, it's really useful)

[@blakethornhill8832]

Fuck it, don't care if I'm a dwarven female, still going to make him my gay boyfriend
