I'm guarding my heart against expecting adoribull crumbs in veilguard because I really don't believe it's going to happen. I think that might be one of the sweet slender branches on the possibility tree that they'll gently and quietly prune away from relevancy, especially since it doesn't involve a player character. dorian will almost certainly be back (hey hiii bestie how have you been? stressed out of your mind I imagine), but I can't imagine they'll let you get too granular with setting up your world state, especially since after ten years they will be expecting to have a lot of players who are new to the series. like AT MOST I can imagine a little background detail implying an amicable bittersweet breakup rather than dragging out the long distance and danger of it all as tevinter politics heat up, if you're allowed to set them both as being still alive.

all that being said I still want it so fucking badly tho fhdskjfhas

#them being together is such an edge case for any given playthrough (no PC romance with either; bull alive; take them out together enough)#it's so unlikely they'll invest resources into it. but maybe. but very probably not. unless... but no --#counterpoint to this spiritually tho: dorian not only fucking but being in a decade long tender & committed romantic relationship #with a once-extremely prominent enemy of the tevene state... still one of the funniest things that can happen in this series #there must be documents about the terrifying head of the secret police on seheron in the magisterium archives. and that's dorian's man #and in the opposite direction bull must have had some real moments of '...oh boy this guy is everything tama warned me about' lol #by trespasser they have such old married couple vibes about it too. the private vs. public perceptions involved. unmatched #would they really throw away such absolute gold. could they bear to. I have many hopes and doubts and dreams and fears #dragon age #adoribull #iron bull #dorian pavus #it would be nice if they at least don't give any information to the contrary that they're still together #so I can live happily in headcanon land (like yes I realize the world is ending but like priorities let's focus on the important things)
