I never knew this happened????? What????? My first playthrough, I spent forever deciding between Dorian and the Iron Bull before deciding I'd do Dorian first and then Bull in a second playthrough and now I find out they get into a relationship if they're both single??? Omg. And not like a sex-only relationship like Fenris and Isabela. Like a legit one. What. I'm
ugh, that's it. I'm gonna have to go back to my save right before the final battle and just wander around with dorian and iron bull for hours so that this happens.
Blackwall and Josi start a romance as well if you don't romance either one of them. :) I love this about Inquisition, makes the characters seem even more relatable and realistic.:)
I like that Bioware tossed this in. With Tali and Garrus you might be able to guess what was going on but had no real clue until near the end of ME3. This just seems more....realistic? In a funny way. I mean, put a bunch of attractive people in a tight knit group that faces death all the time, and romance is bound to bloom!
lol I just typed "dorian and iron bull" just after beating the lvl 21 dragon and hearing this same conversation between them. I just couldn't believe what I heard :p I realised before that iron bull was hitting on Dorian, but I honestly thought it was just to troll him (even though some of those pick up lines were seriously awkward and explicit) I seriously thought they kinda hated each other before that, although they sure talked a lot. Nice to have some original an solid background character dev in a game :)
I have two inquisitors: male Qunari and female Qunari. I created the male just FOR Dorian. He's so cute and sentimental under all that lavish sarcasm and proposed narcissism. Haha. He's a real doll. I created the female Qunari for two reasons: because I know I can get Sera to like me and I heard that Dorian sways to Iron Bull if a male inquisitor doesn't choose him or Iron Bull. I'm actually very happy for them. If my inquisitor, Hannibal Luthor, isn't with Dorian in his reincarnation as Xena, my female inquisitor, then it's only right that Dorian should be with Iron Bull. The big guy is a softy at heart and will protect the beautiful man-mage. Also, I'm sure he would never break Dorian's heart, since that's what matters most. Dorian just wants to be loved and to love in return. :)
I never thought I would ever support Yaoi being in my hobbies, choosing to pretend they aren't there when I encounter them in literature, shows, or games except for the cheap giggle the writers may intentionally invoke... but: Thank you Bioware for helping change that. In these dark and surreal western RPGs, those two deserve each other -and I always hope that after any epilogue, my party members move on to their own happy endings; even better when it is with each other. This is so Romeo and Juliet slash twisted its sweet. Pretty sure Dorian would say he plays a better Juliet than the original script though, better fashion and taste for sure he'd claim. Still notice there is a touch of that immaturity there, as they played the top/bottom angle for all the puns they could write. Just wish Bioware would stop trying to please all comers and give us more options within categories besides choose one of each orientation and that's it. Next iteration in the franchise you'll have the option of romancing your mount or Mabari at the rate they are going.
I am... confused.... not that it is a bad thing.. I mean... I love Iron Bull... I romanced him already.. now picked Cullen for a change because he reminds me of Alistair.. I always liked the more... awkward type.. so... XD idk I will see... Solas would'be probably been one of the favourities if he wouldn't leave you... but uhmm.. this.. made me... suprised... as Cassandra would say: '' Suprising.. but not a pronlem... '' XD
Xesthan oh! Cool :D I didn't know about this at all XD I have actually got used to with this idea already hehehe.. they are kinda cute haha. Too bad that when I wrote that I was a little bit drunk and that is why I have multiple mistakes there hahahah.
When I first heard about their relationship from my friend I immediately went in game and started romancing Iron Bull because I just couldn't let Dorian get his hands on him.
This doesn't happen if your male is in a tight relationship with Dorian, right? I made SURE never to flirt with anyone else but him... don't be playin' me now, Dorian.
Not to ruin the mood but I've been thinking. Why would Iron Bull want to keep up a romance with someone who appears to be ashamed of what they are doing? So he'll take that (giggity) from Dorian? But when the group walks in on him and the Inquisitor should the Inquisitor blow it off (giggity) the same way Dorian is doing it's not okay? What the hell Iron Bull?!
It's not that he's ashamed - he's just confused. I suspect both of them thought it would be a one-night fling, but it took off, and neither of them are experienced with commitment. It's not that uncommon really. I'm just impressed that Bull was even willing to settle down with one sex. Normally I'd have expected Dorian to catch feelings and Bull to let him down, but this is a much better and sweeter outcome.
Also, I think especially with Bull, context matters. Dorian has sort of spent his entire life being shamed for his preferences, going so far as to have his own dad use blood magic to change him and all that (how's that for praying the gay away? *shudders*), so he has Reasons to be cautious about this. The Inquisitor hasn't experienced anything as drastic as this and comes from a culture somewhat more open about sexuality in general and homosexuality in particular, so if you, as a very firmly established leader, can not admit to having a serious relationship with him to your closest advisers under these circumstances, that's a lot less excusable than Dorian's uncertainties. And since Bull is a people person, he'd totally get that.
I think Bull is just playing favorites and was ensnared by Dorian's undeniable charm. I'm a female and I can't resist him and I KNOW I don't stand a chance. He's so confident, and arrogant, and sassy and yet shy and insecure.
Hauraunah Church, girl! I am in LOVE with Dorian. The first time I laid eyes on his fabulous and fabulously ironic mustache and heard his delicious sarcasm, I knew my Levellan had to be all OVER that. And, ahem, under that.
Ok this is... wow. I've seen some fanfiction/art regarding this, but I NEVER thought it was CANON!! I though "jeez, that was to be expected from fans".BUT NO, IT WAS FRIGGIN' CANON. I'm on my 3rd playthrough and I never saw this, even though I use a lot Dorian and Bull! And I'm ashamed to say that... IM SO JELOUS!!!! My 2nd inquisitor was a male Lavellan who romanced Dorian, it kinda bothers me watching him act all girly for Bull... Ok, agreed, my Lavellan was a skinny wimp, not your average macho Qunari, but he never was nearly as cute with my poor elf as he is with Bull! Damn it all. I swear, I'm shocked. But this is awesome at the same time, I can't deny it... good job BioWare. GOOD JOB. Now give me Varric/Cassandra or Cullen/Cassandra and destroy my soul entirely.
I didnt k ow this was a thing until today. Lordy, i didnt like the game as much as DA:O but god, its party members are fucking adorable I love this......soooo much
Thats adorable holy crap how long have you been playing for?? because i have sera, iron bull and dorian in my party constantly and this has never happened
I haven't played through the Winter Palace at all yet. Simply take them out and explore until their banter brings it up. Although ironically enough, the previous banter a few minutes ago was Dorian telling him how much it wasn't going to happen.
my LI was Sera for this playthrough, sadly even though I had iron bull, sera and dorian in my party for pretty much the whole 80 hours I played it never happened. ah well, i'll be replaying it several times so maybe it'll happen then
Can you get those two together post-game? After defeating Cory? Cause both my completed playthroughs, they aren't together :c have that silent banter bug shit O.e
Does anyone know if this cuts of romance possibilities with both characters? Because I haven't had an option to pursue a relationship with either in the game, although not from lack of trying, and I need to know if I should go back to a previous save to sadly stop it from happening.
It only happens if you don't romance either of them so if I guess if you get to the ending point of the game where a romance wouldn't be possible then I can see it happening then. If you flirt with the Iron Bull enough and do his companion quest which I think is started after having a high enough approval rating. After that, one of the next times you talk to him you can officially start the romance. But then there's another quest you have to do to make it official. Same with Dorian except it's a lot easier to start.
Hmm. I hadn't been to the Winter Palace yet, so it was... kind of close to the ending point? I can't enter into a relationship with Dorian, sadly, I seem to be one of the people who was hit by the bug that keeps his quest from starting. That's good to know about The Iron Bull, I'll go complete his quest instead and flirt my little heart out at him. Thank you for your help.
lol i've been using Iron bull, Dorian and Cassandra for almost the whole first half of the game. and i've been finding that Bull and Cassandra are flirting, not Dorian and bull. lol but maybe this will happen.. lol maybe i just have to run around some more with them i guess. though Cassandra and Bull is really hilariously adorable.
Davor Basic sweet! I've flirted a little with bull while in haven, and I've been making sure to bring those two with me practically everywhere along with Cole, Cole actually talks to bull to console him about the chargers dieing. And it helps! Spirit of compassion ftw.
I know its kinda dumb but they are so cute together that it ruins my inquisitiors romance with Dorian :( now it feels like IB and D are ment to be!! (Poor Aedan and Vhenadahl, my inquisitors XD)
Right? Same. I'm sad, because it's so cute. :( Apparently it only happens if you bring both Dorian and Iron Bull on missions together a handful of times. As their party banter progresses, this happens. Unfortunately, I didn't bring them together very often -- something I'm going to change for my second play through.
From when i got them till the end i always had Dorian, Iron Bull and Cassandra :( Is a shame! I think its adorable and awsome that background romances can happen too!
KuroBakura I wouldn't call it ignorance so much as sensibility bro. He's purple and has horns.. Not only that but he's just flat out fucking nasty at times with his Dorian BDSM shit. I'm tired of this progressive gay shit invading video games and trying to make people more accepting of it when they already are. Perhaps if Bioware spent less time on trying to appeal to their disgusting fanbase and more time on crafting a beautiful and realistic story much like Dragon Age Origins then it would be considered a masterpiece by all rights. I have no issue with homosexual's nor their nightly activities but I don't want to be exposed to it unless I go looking for it. Dragon Age 1 executed this wonderfully by giving the player full control of their experience and allowing them to be with who they wanted. It's not ignorance, its an opinion.
John Guzzi To each his/her own. You may think Iron Bull is nasty, others find him attractive. Also, I disagree with many of your "issues." First of all, if you don't want to see or hear Dorian and Iron Bull flirt, then do not bring them with you. You are not "exposed" to it unless you watch these videos or have them in your party. Second, what do you mean "disgusting fanbase" and "beautiful and realistic story"? News flash: homosexuality and BDSM are realistic. To some, its considered beautiful. Third, you don't hear gay people complaining about games having way too many heterosexual relationships and "shit" like that. In Origins, theres so many straight "shit" being shoved in peoples throat. If you're going to complain about a game having too many homosexual relationship, you should also complain about games that have way too many heterosexual relatioships. In some cases, games only have heterosexual relationships. Also, this BDSM "shit" is not exclusive to Dorian. If a female inquisitor romance Iron Bull, you will find out that they do BDSM "shit" as well. Finally, just because you don't think DAI is a masterpiece, does not mean it isn't. For example, I think DAI is the best Dragon Age game. I truly think it is a masterpiece. On the other hand, I find DAO to be flawed. See? Everyone has opinions. Different people with different beliefs exists around the world. You're not the only person living here on Earth.
What makes this even more adorable is that this is not a one night stand thing, it's an actual relationship. ALL ABOARD THIS SHIP.
^^
Ive not heard this banter before
I guess it's true what they say:
Once you go Qunari, you won't be sorry
7/10 :)
Guess you could say he.....
(Puts on sunglasses)
Rides the bull
I never knew this happened????? What????? My first playthrough, I spent forever deciding between Dorian and the Iron Bull before deciding I'd do Dorian first and then Bull in a second playthrough and now I find out they get into a relationship if they're both single??? Omg. And not like a sex-only relationship like Fenris and Isabela. Like a legit one. What. I'm
ugh, that's it. I'm gonna have to go back to my save right before the final battle and just wander around with dorian and iron bull for hours so that this happens.
Ha! Right? I was thinking the same thing
+BubbleDncr takes forever,but stand and wait and its worth it
He always hits on Dorian even though my Inquisitor is in the party and is in a romance with Dorian. Hands off, Bull.
I saw this coming a mile away! No pun intended!
Love both of them and love them even more together!
O_O ok. *gets on the ship*
This is a way for us to come together. You get it? Cuz .. yeeaaaaahhhh
What I find the most amazing is imagining Freddie Prince Jr reading all the Iron Bull banter. Yeah....
"If you choose to leave your door unlocked like a savage, I might come." That's adorable Dorian.
Blackwall and Josi start a romance as well if you don't romance either one of them. :)
I love this about Inquisition, makes the characters seem even more relatable and realistic.:)
I like that Bioware tossed this in. With Tali and Garrus you might be able to guess what was going on but had no real clue until near the end of ME3. This just seems more....realistic? In a funny way. I mean, put a bunch of attractive people in a tight knit group that faces death all the time, and romance is bound to bloom!
Wow I had no idea this existed. I never used the two together before, so next playthrough for sure.
This is... Actually really cute! I officially ship it! Another ship for my armada! Yay!
Oh! My! Gee! This fits SO well! That's so CUTE! And so FUNNY! He set the curtains on fire! Come together! I can't even! I'm dying here! :D
lol I just typed "dorian and iron bull" just after beating the lvl 21 dragon and hearing this same conversation between them. I just couldn't believe what I heard :p
I realised before that iron bull was hitting on Dorian, but I honestly thought it was just to troll him (even though some of those pick up lines were seriously awkward and explicit)

How did I not get this part on my THREE playthroughs, damn. And now I'm romancing Dorian...
Dorian you are so Tsundere~♡
Oh lawdy lawdy, now I know what I'm going to look out for when I do my Cullenmancer playthrough. :D
Cullenmancer? Is that the fan-term for a mage romancing Cullen?
That's... Fantastic, actually.
For anyone romancing Cullen, actually. :)
SageOfTheWest its actually a school of magic where you summon and fight with cullens
I'm screaming, this is the best thing I've seen today
Oh Maker help me this is adorable! XD
Oh yay! It really happened!
Yay, awww!
I am... confused.... not that it is a bad thing.. I mean... I love Iron Bull... I romanced him already.. now picked Cullen for a change because he reminds me of Alistair.. I always liked the more... awkward type.. so... XD idk I will see... Solas would'be probably been one of the favourities if he wouldn't leave you... but uhmm.. this.. made me... suprised... as Cassandra would say: '' Suprising.. but not a pronlem... '' XD
I actually saw some people on the Bioware forums who predicted this so I pretty much saw it coming.
Xesthan oh! Cool :D I didn't know about this at all XD
I have actually got used to with this idea already hehehe.. they are kinda cute haha. Too bad that when I wrote that I was a little bit drunk and that is why I have multiple mistakes there hahahah.
You want awkward, try Blackwall. It doesn't get more awkward than that!
When I first heard about their relationship from my friend I immediately went in game and started romancing Iron Bull because I just couldn't let Dorian get his hands on him.
PsyrenXY he is my least favourite... Solas is my favourite :D
Great. Now I can never again romance either one of them. Their relationship is too cute god damn it!
This is better to me than Tali and Garrus in Mass Effect 3.
I loved Tali, I romanced her EVERY TIME, so garrus couldn't steal her. She is so adorable!
I ket trying Liara... but always went back to Tali.
Parshera! What did I watch!?
fucking shit, this is absolutely adorable!!
That's so friggin cute xDDD I lauged so hard...
So cute. I knew this was coming. Iron bull keeps flirting with Dorian and I had a feeling they'd get together. Thanks for sharing this.
Aw, if only my companions weren't dead silent during missions I'd totally play through that for myself!
"you get it cause....yeaaahhh..."
This doesn't happen if your male is in a tight relationship with Dorian, right? I made SURE never to flirt with anyone else but him... don't be playin' me now, Dorian.
Nice!
Awwwwwwwww, this is beautiful!

And since Bull is a people person, he'd totally get that.
Dorian already said it himself, they both have no idea what their relationship with each other so they're just enjoying the moment.
I think Bull is just playing favorites and was ensnared by Dorian's undeniable charm. I'm a female and I can't resist him and I KNOW I don't stand a chance. He's so confident, and arrogant, and sassy and yet shy and insecure.
Hauraunah Church, girl! I am in LOVE with Dorian. The first time I laid eyes on his fabulous and fabulously ironic mustache and heard his delicious sarcasm, I knew my Levellan had to be all OVER that. And, ahem, under that.
This is so cute. Definitely the new Isabela/Fenris o v o
awww I am so happy for them
Woah this is great :3 I dun really know they can be together :3
Ok this is... wow. I've seen some fanfiction/art regarding this, but I NEVER thought it was CANON!! I though "jeez, that was to be expected from fans".BUT NO, IT WAS FRIGGIN' CANON.

ADORIBULL 🙌🙌🙌
Aww. I found this kinda sweet.
I didnt k ow this was a thing until today.
Lordy, i didnt like the game as much as DA:O but god, its party members are fucking adorable
I love this......soooo much
OMG!!! How wonderful!!! :3 :3 :3
I am so confused.
Go kill some slave-traders Fenris, that might clear your head.
Intrano Danarius...
ok, let me try to explain it for you. When two people love each other.... they go to a bed.... and then stuff happens.
dragonieprayer Actually they don't have to love each other for stuff to happen
Davor Basic
WHAT?! Then....but..... disney said so!
Thats adorable holy crap how long have you been playing for?? because i have sera, iron bull and dorian in my party constantly and this has never happened
i'm pretty sure i had just finished the winter palace arc when this was recorded 😝
oooh ok fingers crossed for my playthrough then because i just finished the winter palace last night!
I haven't played through the Winter Palace at all yet. Simply take them out and explore until their banter brings it up. Although ironically enough, the previous banter a few minutes ago was Dorian telling him how much it wasn't going to happen.
This happens if you don't romance Iron Bull or Dorian so if your Inquisitor happens to be romancing one of those two then it doesn't happen.
my LI was Sera for this playthrough, sadly even though I had iron bull, sera and dorian in my party for pretty much the whole 80 hours I played it never happened. ah well, i'll be replaying it several times so maybe it'll happen then
SO CUTE
Okay questions. This is my second play through but i never got these dialogue? (I didn't romace any of them) is it because i flirted with Dorian?
When I found out about this, I restart the whole game just to make a dashing inquisitor for him.. Ah, Dorian
Oh. My. God. You did not!
My new OTP.
How in the hell did you get this whole scenario to play out?! Plus how did you get the NPC's to say your characters name?
were he is at fort celeste look everywere
Can you get those two together post-game? After defeating Cory? Cause both my completed playthroughs, they aren't together :c have that silent banter bug shit O.e
Does anyone know if this cuts of romance possibilities with both characters? Because I haven't had an option to pursue a relationship with either in the game, although not from lack of trying, and I need to know if I should go back to a previous save to sadly stop it from happening.

soo...is there a way to trigger this? or do I just take them in my party often so they have a lot of banter?
Wanted to replay the game and romance Cullen, but don't want to give Dorian to somebody else, lol
I SHIP IT!
D'awwww
lol i've been using Iron bull, Dorian and Cassandra for almost the whole first half of the game. and i've been finding that Bull and Cassandra are flirting, not Dorian and bull. lol but maybe this will happen.. lol maybe i just have to run around some more with them i guess. though Cassandra and Bull is really hilariously adorable.
Stay away from my man, Dorian!!!!
So this only happens if I run around with Dorian and bull for hours on end?
Aaaawww xD
Is it possible to rmance 2 companions at once and if so what happens?
*romance
No.
So I sacrificed the chargers, does that make this romance impossible ?
i really wished they could've shipped cullen and cassandra too .-.
Wait, how does THIS happen?? How can I get dorian and bull to romance? I can totally shop this so I don't feel tossed up while going after Cassandra.
Don't romance them and they'll hook up
Davor Basic Do I have to avoid flirting at all with them?
Tasha G It would be wise but bring them constantly with you for party banter eventually they'll starting flirting with each other
Davor Basic sweet! I've flirted a little with bull while in haven, and I've been making sure to bring those two with me practically everywhere along with Cole, Cole actually talks to bull to console him about the chargers dieing. And it helps! Spirit of compassion ftw.
You spoiler man
I know its kinda dumb but they are so cute together that it ruins my inquisitiors romance with Dorian :( now it feels like IB and D are ment to be!! (Poor Aedan and Vhenadahl, my inquisitors XD)
So in my game Dorian will ride the Bull?? I'm just keep thinking "How?" He'd be like 12-15 inches
what if the inquisitor romances either two?
ship it!
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! BULL ONLY LIKES RED HEADS!
I didn't romance either and this never happened! Dissapoint! Iv'e finished that run too :(
Right? Same. I'm sad, because it's so cute. :( Apparently it only happens if you bring both Dorian and Iron Bull on missions together a handful of times. As their party banter progresses, this happens. Unfortunately, I didn't bring them together very often -- something I'm going to change for my second play through.
From when i got them till the end i always had Dorian, Iron Bull and Cassandra :( Is a shame! I think its adorable and awsome that background romances can happen too!
RandomRikku There's a party banter bug right now, Should be fixed in the next patch so son't worry :)
Cheers! :)
gay age
ROFL
Gross.. Very hilarious but.. Gross.
Why gross?
oh hai dinny He's an 8ft monster with horns.. Unless you don't have standards I couldn't see how anyone could be attracted to him.
John Guzzi
...I am.
Yes, I have standards and I adore Bull a lot. Your ignorance...not so much.
KuroBakura I wouldn't call it ignorance so much as sensibility bro. He's purple and has horns.. Not only that but he's just flat out fucking nasty at times with his Dorian BDSM shit.
