Starting Dorian's Companion Quest
I can't initiate Dorian's companion quest: The Last Resort of Good Men. I already completed his Venatori quest, and have already finished both Sera's and Iron Bull's companion quests, and am working ...

so bascially we've paid 90 dollars for a broken **bleep** game they didn't fully playtest on all platforms before it was released? Bravo.
As upset as I am, due to experiencing this bug myself.... it's just a side quest. The game is still fully playable, sheesh. >_>
Eh I dunno it's more than just a sidequest for me. And now I have the additional bug that goes hand-in-hand with this one. None of my choices ever affect Dorian's approval rating anymore. EA spent so much time effectively advertising the characters that one of the main draws to the game for me was Dorian's romantic arc. Everything was falling into place so nicely. I loved my playthrough :] I only noticed that Dorian was glitching 40 hours into the game. That totally destroyed the illusion of my Inquisitor's story. And I can't find the will to restart the game and see if he still glitches out. Hopefully the patch fixes it so that I don't have to. Meh, last Dragon Age pre-order from me. I will always assume there will be and wait for patches. I don't want this to ever happen again.
I'd be more willing to forget about it if it wasn't one of the main companions, and they weren't advertised as being one of only two options for gay characters in the game. 😞 If one of the main companions in a game is completely bugged out, and it's happening to more than a handful of people, it's an issue that should've been picked up in development.
Having had this problem, I can confirm that the following worked:
> Reload to just before destruction of Haven
> Play through to reaching Skyhold (I selected the "we must stop Corypheus" option)
> On reaching Skyhold, I spoke to whom I liked, including Dorian (who had no additional dialogue at this stage). I then unlocked and fast travelled to Crestwood, walked around for a bit (reached the village) and returned to Skyhold.
> I spoke to Dorian and the letter scene triggered. On finishing the conversation, Giselle was downstairs in the hall with the quest.
Unfortunately, it seems this quest needs to trigger early on after reaching Skyhold; as to whether or not it relies on other dialogue options is unclear, although I have to say that judging Alexius seems to have had no bearing on it (as I haven't judged him at the reload, and whatever I did in my immediately-pre-Alexius prior save couldn't trigger the scene). As a side effect, it does seem that leaving it too long will prevent this quest from ever firing properly.
So, the only way is to replay everything? Aw.
