Playing DAI for the first time and I instantly fell in love with Dorian! I'm a transmasc person who cannot transition currently and playing as a character that supposedly is a cis guy makes me really disphoric, so thanks a lot for this mod! <3
Don't pay attention, such people think they can do anything with straight characters, but they forbid it with gays. Kringe. The author just made it possible to love without reference to gender, all the characters, not just him. Like in the second game.
Dorian's story is about his sexuality. It's a part of his character and who he is. So actually yeah, it is homophobic to take away identity from someone, game character or not
It's more about the freedom to pick your player model without sacrificing a romance you like. What about trans people who play this and are locked out of relationships bc the gender they represent isn't a binary? Another example is for the gays who wanna play as a female but still wanna romance Dorian. Plz remember that its not just straight people using this mod. I cant tell if this is bait or not fr
I wonder if you would say the same on the mods I have seen that make straight characters gay. This mod gives people the option to play the game they want to play it.
I don't understand the logic behind this comment. What's not to say Dorian isn't bi or pan? The fact you can romance him as a women with this mod doesn't undermine his story if you still consider him as queer which he definitely is haha. I'm a women and have always wanted to romance Dorian in game with my female character because in real life I'm super attracted to camp/effeminate queer men haha he's dark handsome and witty and Lavellan wants some too ;) So I say thank you modder!!!
I understand a lot of people's concerns about this mod, but as a nonbinary person,, it makes me so happy to be able to make my more gnc/nonbinary inquisitors able to romance my favourite boy! <3
Apparently a lot on here seem to think making straight dudes gay is okay (the many bi/gay mods of straight guys), but when making a handsome guy like Dorian be romanceable by female MC, it is "forbidden" or "wrong". This is just a video game character, for personal enjoyment and he even still refers to the Inquisitor as male, yall are so biased and selectively apply morals/standards when convenient.
you like something else? skip this and take your selective conveniency somewhere else.
If anyone wants to know if this works well with MRM, It seems to work fine. If you are someone who likes dating Dorian and one of the straight boys (Cullen, Blackwall, Solas) and don't really care about gender/voice for your Inquisitor aside from body type, the next portion is for you.
My Enby Inky dates both Dorian and Cullen and I decided to use this instead of the Bi-Cullen mod with Flipped Pronouns to see if it'd work fine, and it does. The game will recognize you as female though so if you dont like that, def go with Bi-Cullen and Flipped Pronouns instead. Using Any Voice, you can still use the Male one and get voiced dialogue for Dorian, and you can then swap voices at the Black Emporium to get girl voiced dialogue for Cullen, so no need for the Bi-Bachelors voiceover mod.
Overall this makes the Dorian/Lavellan/Cullen 3P a lot easier to make work mod wise if you aren't someone who cares about a firm gender for your Inky and are fine swapping between voices (mostly for Cullen's cutscenes). I'd recommend just swapping to a Male voice before Tresspasser though.
Hi. Could you please help me? I’m trying to use this mod along with the MRM mod (MRM_Cullen_jealousy file). For some reason, it doesnt work and Dorian still recognizes me as female when flirting. Does the order of the mods matter, or should I be using a different file? I'm using DAIModManager.
This Mod Cullen MRM (no Jealousy, Jealousy is notoriously bugged and doesn't work) Dorian MRM
I know it says to not use both this mod and Dorian's MRM, but you need both. Aside from that you also have to romance Cullen first, this means getting the Kiss Scene on the Battlements.
cammiekins, I followed your instructions, but unfortunately, even after starting the romance with Cullen, the situation with Dorian hasn't changed T_T Maybe I'm doing something wrong. In any case, thank you so much for your response!
I will say if you don't start the save file with everything already correctly done, it won't work. The game can't change flags like that, so when you make your character in CC you need those 3 mods loaded in. Considering you had the Jealousy file when you started, I'd say that might be the case.
Aside from that, I do have a minor theory that DWO is what makes this work, as when I get to the point with Dorian where I start the romance I get both options to say "You led me on/Good Things(kiss)" and I am not sure I'd be able to choose that without that mod since it expands Dialogue. Still, if he's not recognizing you as Male in your first Haven conversation idk.
The way I do it is flirt with him in Haven, then romance Cullen when I get to Skyhold (the fastest way to do that is do his early cutscenes admitting to his Lyrium Withdrawl, Leave and Capture the Keep in Crestwood, then come back and do his kiss scene) then you can work on Dorian.
As someone who really doesn't like the idea of taking away character's established queer sexualities... My sincere thanks for making this mod. My current playthrough is a genderqueer transmasc elf who doesn't subscribe to human gender norms and to think that a character like Dorian would turn them away for something as simple as the lack of certain genitals is... not very nice. Thanks for making their (mostly asexual) romance possible!
