How To Get Dorian And Iron Bull Together
So, you're playing Dragon Age: Inquisition, huh? Great choice! The story is epic, the characters are amazing, and... well, let's be honest, the romances are juicy. And few are as talked about as getting Dorian Pavus and Iron Bull together. Why? Because it’s hilarious, heartwarming, and surprisingly beautiful. It's a bromance for the ages, turned up to eleven!
Why Is This Even a Thing?
Okay, let's back up a step. Dorian is the witty, sarcastic mage from Tevinter. He's got style, brains, and a whole lot of baggage. Iron Bull is the Qunari warrior with a booming laugh and a love for a good fight (and a good drink). On paper, they're opposites. And that's exactly why it works!
The game developers clearly had a sense of humor. Through banter and certain story choices, you'll see hints that these two are… interested. It's all playful, teasing, and just plain fun to watch. The idea of the stoic warrior and the flamboyant mage finding something in common is just chef's kiss.

Becoming a Matchmaker: The Steps
Alright, you're sold. You want to make this happen. Here's how you play Cupid (or, you know, the Inquisitor who meddles in everyone’s love life):
1. Recruit Them Both: Obvious, right? You need both Dorian and Iron Bull in your party. Get them early. The sooner they're around, the more banter you'll hear. And trust me, you want the banter.
2. Friendship is Key: Don’t try to force anything. Focus on building positive relationships with both characters individually. Complete their personal quests. Listen to their stories. Make choices that align with their values (mostly). You need their approval to unlock certain dialogue options.
3. Party Chatter is Your Friend: This is where the magic happens. Take Dorian and Iron Bull on as many missions as possible. Their conversations are GOLD. Pay attention to their reactions to each other. You'll start to see the sparks fly.
4. The "Tough Love" Quest: This is crucial. There's a point in the game where Iron Bull has to make a difficult decision regarding his Chargers. This quest, "Demands of the Qun," is where things get real. The choice you make here directly impacts whether or not Dorian and Iron Bull's relationship can blossom.
5. Encourage, Don't Force: After the "Demands of the Qun" quest, keep talking to them. Dialogue options will appear that allow you to encourage their relationship. Be subtle! Don't directly say "You two should hook up!" Just gently nudge them in the right direction. Think supportive friend, not overbearing mother.
The Payoff: Why It's Worth It
The beauty of Dorian and Iron Bull's romance isn't the grand gestures or dramatic declarations. It’s the small moments. It's the quiet understanding. It's the way they challenge each other and make each other laugh.
Seeing these two characters, who seem so different on the surface, find common ground is genuinely touching. Plus, their banter continues even after they get together. Prepare for a lot of teasing, playful jabs, and surprisingly sweet moments. It adds so much depth to both characters.
And let's be honest, it's just plain entertaining. Watching Dorian's witty retorts bounce off Iron Bull's boisterous personality is comedic gold. It's a constant source of amusement and lightheartedness in a game that can get pretty dark at times.
So, Give It a Try!
If you're looking for a fun, heartwarming, and hilarious side story in Dragon Age: Inquisition, definitely give getting Dorian and Iron Bull together a try. It's a unique and memorable romance that adds so much to the game. You won't regret playing matchmaker for these two lovable goofballs.
Who knows, maybe you'll even learn a thing or two about love and acceptance along the way. And if not, at least you'll get a good laugh. Happy playing!
