i'm not the best with dragon age character meta, but a romanced dorian's letter from veilguard is like. making me so emotional.

one thing i remember distinctly about dorian's romance is that he wasn't very direct with vulnerable sentiment. he hides his real feelings beneath lighthearted teasing and jokes. it's to protect himself from getting hurt.

one moment that always stuck out to me: if the inquisitor isn't ready to sleep with him yet, instead of being offended, dorian's almost... moved? because that means the inquisitor isn't with him just for pleasure like he feared, but for a serious, long term relationship.

verbally, the most we get in inquisition from dorian is him calling the inquisitor amatus - a term of endearment that dorian never actually explains the meaning of. we never see a direct "i love you" per say.

so seeing this letter, especially the sincere, vulnerable sentiment of preferring a letter due to it being a physical object associated with his lover - "i love you, i love you, i love you"... literally what a fantastic little bit of writing and character development for dorian.
