FOREWORD BY DAVID GAIDER
I wrote Dorian over a period of about a month at the very beginning of 2014. Prior to that, he’d been conceived as a Tevinter mage who was actually a good guy – someone who had ideals, and who strenuously objected to the moral decay of his homeland, where blood magic had become a common thing almost every magister needed in order to get a leg up on their rivals. The character didn’t really come together for me until the team started discussing which followers would be romances, however, and the possibility of including a couple of gay characters was raised.
Of course, a character being gay is not a substitute for them having goals or character development, but in this case Dorian’s role in the game was more or less already established. What I lacked was a clear picture of what made him who he was, and in particular why he left his homeland. The idea that maybe he was gay, and that this perhaps played a role in his rejection of his family’s intended life for him, was rather intriguing. Homophobia didn’t exist in Thedas per se, but Tevinter society has a very rigid set of requirements regarding what was acceptable behavior for their elite citizens. The truth was immaterial: you had to look the part, and more than that you had to devote yourself to a good marriage and to your family’s cause. Anything less than that and you were a pariah, your family too weak to even maintain the expected façade… if you couldn’t manage that, after all, then how competent could you truly be? Dorian being someone who rejected that life, despite all the benefits it could offer and despite his parents’ worries and best intentions, because living truthfully meant more to him? That spoke to me on a personal level in a way I don’t think it would for a writer who wasn’t themselves gay.
Which is not to say that only a gay man could have written Dorian. Writers are accustomed to creating characters who have very little in common with their real life. All it really takes is to reach down inside yourself and find that part of you which connects with what you’re writing… but in this case it’s safe to say I didn’t need to reach very far. I think we all have some experience with what disappointing our parents feels like, but LGBTQ people experience that at such a visceral level it often dominates their lives. The fear of rejection by those you love most, the utter relief that laying down the burden of self-loathing and shame others have placed on your shoulders, the constant battle with the idea that maybe you’re being selfish by insisting on not living a lie just to make the world a more comfortable place for those around you… these are things we’re all too familiar with. So while I may not be the scion of a wealthy family, and my parents never threatened me with rejection or therapy or otherwise tried to force me to change, I still knew Dorian’s struggle. Perhaps better than any of my other characters.
Oh, it’s true that I didn’t need to make his character arc about him being gay, or about his relationship to his parents. Sexuality doesn’t need to be a story device, after all, it could simply have been a fact. Considering that, prior to Dragon Age: Inquisition, I never had the opportunity to put this much of myself into a character, however, I felt like it was worth trying. It’s a personal story that in no way resembles my life, and yet at the same time it does. Writing the scene with Dorian’s father was the hardest thing I’ve ever done, and required me to access deep-seated fears that were so raw and uncomfortable it was at times almost beyond endurance. But I did it, and so many people have contacted me in the years since to tell me how close to home Dorian’s story hit that I’m glad I did it.
If you’re reading this and you’re one of those people, then I thank you. If Dorian’s experience hit close to home for you because you actually went through anything close to what he did, then my heart goes out to you. Maybe the day will come when stories like Dorian’s won’t need to be told, when I won’t look upon such a rare opportunity as something to be snatched up and shared, but that’s not today. This isn’t Thedas, but we live with our own demons and have our own monsters to face, and if you’ve contributed towards #BornPerfect then you’re playing a small part in the battle and I salute you.
As for me, maybe one day I’ll get to revisit Dorian. I expect he’ll be peeved I’ve been away so long, and the two of us will get to have a long and scandalous conversation while we drink too much wine. I’ll comment how his ass has become famous, and he’ll say that it goes well with his full head of hair, and then oh how we’ll laugh.
Life is sometimes good to us. Try to remember that, if you can.

@dovabunny do you even realize your simple request encouraged to me to making my own modern au. now i want to draw all of them in modern setting! it doesn’t look so awful in full-size, i promise
What do you mean It doesn’t looks so awful in full size???? THIS IS FREAKING MAJESTIC!
I have seen your reply.
@perrylovecraft what I wanted to say, was that I absolutely love your artwork, not that you’re wrong. I see that you don’t feel very well about your own art piece but let me tell you some things that I find especially good.
My in-depth review of your artwork:
First of all, the proportions. These aren’t the easiest poses that you have chosen and you have drawn them well. The colours of everything, from the cup and books, to Anders and Fenris are very well chosen and greatly go along with each other, complimenting both the colours and the characters. The shadows and the tones are mesmerising. I love the shadows on the bean bags, they looks just on point. The lighting is stunning. You have done a great job showing us that the lights above characters work, by drawing nice bright lines on the surfaces of the characters where needs to be. The background looks absolutely great. The floor and the wall go very well together and with the whole peace, adding the coziness together with the lighting. The white lines on the sides, where the characters come out a bit, works very well with this piece. It adds a feeling of this being real and the characters slightly coming out of the art piece. The pile of books in the background is slightly shaded which makes it look exactly as they’re supposed to. They’re at the back and don’t attract much attention as the ones closer to us do. They aren’t too dark, nor too bright, just the nice and perfect shading. Great job with that! The small animations make the whole piece feel alive and real. They tiny blush, hardly noticeable light change once, Fenris shaking his hand a bit with the drink, Anders smiling while reading, Fenris and Anders blinking. All of that are great little touches that give love to your art work. They are the cute and regular little things people do and that looks absolutely great and believable. The lines are nice and clean. Thick, thin and sharp where needs to be. The clothing is well chosen and has very good drawn creases and wrinkles on it. Shows character personality very well. The characters features are well captured. They’re unmistakably Anders and Fenris. You have captured their facial features very well, as well as their hair style. And it might seem like you didn’t do much with that, because they are already pre-made game characters, but you’d be wrong. It is difficult to capture defining features of a character without an appropriate skill. This whole artwork shows great understanding of colour theory, shading, lighting, proportions, modern clothing, characters and body language. You have great skill and it shows in your artwork.
I would rate your artwork 9/10. -1 point for pessimism. This is a job well done and I wouldn’t feel bad for paying for it. Hopefully my detailed review has shown you what a great artist you are.
