Honestly, I'm not sure what to say about your Dorian other than you do a great job making him sound believable! I'm not canonblind anymore, obviously, and I think the fact that very little about what I would say has changed despite having encountered him in source material says something about your characterization. Namely, it's spot-on. Granted, he's obviously from a later canonpoint than I've played to, but he still sounds like the Dorian I've met in Inquisition at the core of it, so, excellent work!

Also echoing what you said about loving how that metaphysics mixup happened, and I also love how they handled it so gracefully when they realized it. Just a sort of "oh, okay, we made a mistake here". Very mature of them, and actually makes the thread more interesting than total bafflement and/or denial of someone's empirical experiences. Thank you so much for being willing to keep it up as long as it happened.
