Dragon Age: Inquisition Character Profiles, Continued

A profile of Dorian reached the Dragon Age: Inquisition website over the weekend, introducing us to yet another one of the characters that we’ll be adding to our party at some point in the RPG. It’s the one and only David Gaider spilling details on the mage this time around:

[DA]: How does Dorian compare to characters you’ve written in the past?

[DG]: Dorian is an outcast by choice, but only insofar as he chose not to live according to the expectations of his society. There are a lot of aspects to that which I enjoyed exploring, and which I haven’t had to chance to do with other characters.

[DA]: Anything in particular?

[DG]: Dorian is gay he is, in fact, the first fully gay character I’ve had the opportunity to write. It added an interesting dimension to his back story, considering he comes from a place where “perfection” is the face that every mage puts on and anything that smacks of deviancy is shameful and meant to be hidden. Dorian’s refusal to play along with that façade is seen as stubborn and pointless by his family, which has contributed to his status as a pariah.

[DA]: Are you happy with how his character turned out?

[DG]: I suppose this aspect of Dorian will make him controversial in some corners, but I was glad to include it. It made writing Dorian a very personal experience for me, and I’m hopeful that will make him seem like a fully realized character to fans in the end.
