Thank you for posting these.

As The Warden can go through DA:O romancing both M and L, is it wrong of me to imagine that he is still doing it in DA:I, with both women still oblivious to the other?
Of course it is, but I can't help that the thought keeps crossing my mind.

No doubt. The Warden is a playa. He most likely is still seeing them. Like when Morrigan thinks he's off finding a cure, he is actually with Leliana and vice versa.

I also lament this lack of this dialog option, when Leliana tells you she won't be your lover if you marry the queen....

Wait. At the Pearl you eagerly jumped into bed with me and a pirate. Are you saying Queen Anorra isn't good enough for you?

Exactly! And when they both think he's tending to State Business, it's Queen Anorra's turn.

I never became King of Ferelden. I cotinued my search for my love Morrigan. But if you harden Leliana doesn't she become your mistress?

Exactly. Like I said he's is the Warden and basically a god amongst men. So he can juggle three women at once. Especially with coercion maxed out.

And the influence he has as King Consort, Commander of the Armies, and Warden Commander of Ferelden. One queen, two official mistresses, and the ladies in waiting had better watch out. History is full of medieval precedents.

Like I said he's a playa. My character Kaylen Cousland was a smooth talking jet flying limousine riding son of a gun. Woooo!

If you didn't get it that was a Ric Flair reference.

I liked DA:O Lyanna over the Lyanna in DA:I. She was much more innocent in DA:O.

It depends. I don't see the difference really. You can soften/inspire her in both games. It's weird because I never saw her innocent. She's dangerous but basically good-hearted. It's not changed. I like this duality in her character.

The non-sexual path with Leliana in DAO is pretty adorable with how coy and innocent you have to be to get there.

I'm not the only one who took that route?! I loved the innocence of my Warden there!

Yeah I always play it that way now. I also love Leliana’s reactions if you take that route. First she thinks you are just playing so she plays along, then if you continue she gets a little annoyed and has to spell it out for you. Once she does, if you refuse at first she almost seems hurt until you explain your reasoning, and if that reason is you want it to be based off love then she is super touched. It makes all the other scenes with her seem sweeter as well.

I'm not sure why, but I love this description of it and wish I could give you more than one like. (And yes, that's *always* the reason I give her

)

Leliana is such a sweetie. I can never decide who I love more her or Morrigan, but she cuts it pretty close. God I love this game.

I've come across Leliana's infamous ninjamancing dialogue.

She tells the Warden about how she feels close to him/her. If the response is positive in anyway, then bam! Instant romance. You have to deliberately dodge the subject or say "You're getting the wrong idea".
