Fenris – "Festis bei umo canavarum!"

@ Catilina and dragontartare - I do not dwell on Dorian here - since he must have his own topic. And it wasn't the first time when someone noticed how Dorian on tip top priority has put his own sexuality - which as far as I know is concerned "wrong" by everyone else just like Tevinter in Thedas. So reasons to make this priority seem odd for me, unless I would put it as teenage rebellion. And not only for since it was someone else who previoulsy wrote that his main concern is Tevinter being anti-homo. What his father did was pitifull and out of desperation, and Dorian have the right to be upset over this Blood Magic ritual which could turn him into brain dead person. But I also understand how desperate Magister Pavus was since his only child wanted to turn parias of society and be literally the end of entire Pavus family. Because you know, I do not remember any adoptions in DA ... there was only one empty orphanage which was slaughtered, but I never heared of adoptions in Thedas. Dorian had my sympathy for entire thing with Blood Magic ritual, or him wanting to be himself as homosexual, but neither of them did saw it as worthy of making it piority - not when we speak about so corrupt as Tevinter is. After all Dorian parents hated each other, were only married on paper while in reality as soon as they had child there was nothing out of marriage to them. I may be stunned of why mother of Dorian turned into constantly drunk person since it was natural for Tevinter to have failed mage marriages, so she propably had plenty of examples of what she can do in this paper marriage. It was only BioWare laziness which have turned her into "alcohol junkie". I see a plenty of bigger issues to Tevinter to make "They are anti-homo !" the priority. Yes, personally it was important to Dorian, but I really doubt that he couldn't be a homosexual in his own marriage. As soon as there would be kid with "paper" wife, she could go whatever she likes, and he would easily go banging males. I may just say this here - I see no huge problem with paper arranged marriage as Dorian saw. My first Warden after all was about to be forced to marry someone who she never saw before. So mine understand to Dorian problem with being paper married to someone strange is just ... absent since I relived this already in Origins. This issue was closed right over there for me. And arranged paper marriages are common. There is plenty of examples - like Enayra Tabris and this poor Nelaros; Allistair with Anora, Cailen with Anora; all Orlais emperors; Leandra Amell and Count DeLauncet etc. Not to mention that at one point Leandra Amell makes it clear that she too is about to arrange marriage for Hawke. She later changes mind only if you have opened romance. So right in first issue with Dorian I have just none real understanding of what's the real deal. I understand him in rest - perhaps not in priority of Tevinter issues, since I would put lack of homosexual tollerance right on the bottom since it is not only Tevinter who do not accept this sort of relations as something normal when we speak about dealings with dynasties and legacies - such Celene could not be openly lesbian as well (not to mention with elf).
Not to mention he did say that Alienage is worse than Tevinter slavery. I would dare him to say this to Enayra Tabris. I would dare him. Especially if it was in Origins where you were able saw the real consequences of Tevinter slave trade.

I have NONE understanding to Varania since she must have KNOWN what Denarius is doing to Fenris on daily basis. She must have been aware of this too well right over there when she decided to sell him for promise of being Magister student as replacement to Hadriana. Her hatred was so huge that she must have put in shame Carver Hawke. I may have sympathy just for Fenris that he has such sister.

Right back to Feynriel I made it clear - I do not trust him to be able to ever control his magic, neither I trust Tevinter. Not to mention now Tevinter is attacked again by Qunari ! And Qunari are unstoppable ! His chances to turn like Olivia and Circle Girl are now as high as ever. I generally expect BioWare to go full ME 3 here. Really.
"Oh so you free Feynriel and sent to Tevinter ?! HA ! See what we did here !? Feel serviced fan ! Here it comes Feynriel the huge abomination !" BioWare was never unforgiving, for one mistake, one bad choice you always had to pay the price.
I do not like what qunari do to mages, since it's too cruel and does not educate them to use their magic wisely. Oh, dear .. I now see yet another tragic ending possibility for letting Feynriel go to Tevinter. He can land in hands of qunari !!

Like I said I don't allow Orana to go there with money only, money will do nothing to her. It's common sense that this girl needed an education of freedom since just like Fenris before she is unable to see the better things in freedom.

Back to Dorian I may not have his stances with Iron Bull because I NEVER took Dorian with Iron Bull together on both Evelyn and Verissa. Only sometimes there was some banter on Araize. Neither I had Dorian and Bull romance topic.
And I did Ariaze little while (like ... two years ago ?) so mine memory of what exact banter those two had is really unsure.
