...I've had. a terrible DA4 thought. What if Dorian is both DA4's carryover companion from DAI and the resident untrustworthy apostate of the game.

Context for this thought: You know that thing in In Hushed Whispers where you learn that everything Alexius is doing is an act of desperation to undo the darkspawn attack that ended with his wife dead and his son infected with Blight? And how while Quiz loses the hand the Anchor was embedded in the fact that there's no gameplay after that point means it's never actually confirmed whether or not that actually fixed what it was doing to them or broke the connection with the Fade it forged? And how Dorian is unflinchingly devoted to a Quiz who's either a good friend or his lover? Yeah...

But seriously though, the concept of Dorian being the carryover companion only for him to eventually betray the group because Quiz is dying (again) and betraying the group is part of Dorian's last-ditch attempt to save them is now in my head! And it's not going away. So now I'm going to put it in everyone else's heads too.
