This is just one out of many many dialogues that i like in Dragon Age Inquisition. I: *sneaking up on Cassandra* ... Good book ? C: *startled* huh ... I don't know what you're talking about. I: ... What you're blushing. C: What would i have to blush about. I: You tell me. C: It's of no interest to you i'm certain. I: *shakes head* C: It's a book. I: I can see that. C: It's one of Varrics tales Swords and Shields the latest chapter. I: So you like to read what's wrong with that. C: It's frivolous there are more important things for me to do. D: *walks by* ... That's just her favorite. C: Nobody asks you Tevinter. D: Huh ... i couldn't finish the last one you lent me i actually feel dumber for having tried. C: It's literature smutty literature. I: *flirting * Maybe i should read that book. C: You ... NO!. I: Why not me. C: You're the Inquisitor. I: *laughing * Hahahahaha oh i see. C: *sighs* That's terrible and magnificent and this one ends in a cliffhanger i know Varric is working on the next he must be you ... you could ask him to finish it ... command him to ... *looks a little angry * pretend you don't know this about me *walks away and continue reading the book*. I: *walks away towards the castle* I will finish this one at a later time it's quite time consuming you know.

Patricia There's a version with Cole instead of Dorian too: I know and i also know that there is one with Cole as well and uh ... my memory is not that good that i remember everything they've said word for word in that dialogue. So i used one of those videos to write everything down on paper. And after that write it all down in that post ^ i made. And i know that i could've made things much easier for myself to use one of those videos but yesterday i wanted it to do it the hard way. Next time i'll use a video because the way i did it took a little to much of my time.

Zevran: So, err...is it Lord Loghain? Loghain: I am no longer a teyrn, nor even a knight. Address me without a title, as you would any other Grey Warden. Zevran: So just Loghain, then. Loghain: Correct. What's on your mind? Zevran: You know who I am, yes? I was one of the Crows you hired to kill the Grey Wardens. Loghain: I thought you looked familiar. Zevran: Well, I just wanted to report that I failed my mission, Loghain. Loghain: You don't say. Zevran: I'm terribly broken up over it. Loghain: Hmm. Well thank you kindly for informing me.

Loghain: How long you've been gone from court, Eamon! Don't you recognize Rendon Howe, Arl of Amaranthine, and Teyrn of Highever? Howe: And current arl of Denerim, since Urien's unfortunate fate at Ostagar. The regent has been... generous to those who prove loyal.
Tabris: So you're the one who butchered my kin? Howe: When the animals turn against their masters, it is sometimes necessary to cull the herd.
Tabris: Oh look, the regent owns a talking ass.
I always make sure my Cousland/Tabris strikes the finishing blow to him, surprisingly they always get along swimmingly with Nathaniel
Ah but...Tabris Wardens have their share of dialogue gems, I also love their 'introduction' to King Cailan
Cailan: I see you're an elf, friend. From where do you hail? Tabris: The city of Denerim. Cailan: As do I! Though I've not been in the palace for some time. Do you come from the Alienage? Tell me, how is it there? My guards all but forbid me going there. Tabris: I killed an arl's son for raping my friend. Cailan: You... what?
and one of my personal favorites Caladrius: I am Caladrius. And you, I assume, must be the Grey Warden I've heard so much about. Tabris: I don't care who you are; you're going to die.
*after defeating him*
Caladrius: *begging for his life suggesting a blood ritual* Tabris: *refuses offer* Caladrius: Then... I don't suppose you would consider just letting me go? Tabris: No, I don't suppose I would. *kills him* the conversations with this guy were...short, just like the remainder of his life

Noxluxe - That's one of my favorite banters in the game, but sadly Loghain never lives long enough to have it in my canon world. I like to imagine it still happening though, but when they're meeting Loghain and Howe at Eamon's estate (obviously without the "I'm not a lord" part). In my headcanon, Zevran starts the conversation with Loghain as a way to try and distract and defuse the situation (while poor Alistair is stuck trying hold back both Tabris and Cousland as they're simultaneously calling out Howe). LadyofNemesis - That conversation choice with Cailan is one I don't think I'll ever not choose, regardless of my Tabris' personality. (Another being "Sten, tear his arms off", I think everyone of my Wardens has chosen it regardless of personality. "Death first!" is so tempting, but I manage to refrain for certain Warden's. I wish that particular line came after there was no chance left to try talk things out.)

I wish that particular line came after there was no chance left to try talk things out.) Most if not all of my Wardens are very polite to Cailan when they meet him, with my Tabris I slightly stepped out of my comfort zone by playing someone who's snarky as a way to hide her fear. Raelyn isn't very fond of nobles...so when she finds out Alistair is a prince she's...upset. She does understand his reasons for not telling her though and becomes like a sister to him. But yeah, for Tabris that line is too good to leave laying about.
Ah, I also had the hilarious conversation with Faryn a few days back, I went to Orzammar first for a now abandoned playthrough and decided to see what he had for offer. He almost shat his pants upon seeing Sten
Faryn: *sees Sten* Maker's breath, is that-- Ah... I beg your pardon. Can I... help you friend? Warden: Is something wrong? Faryn: No, no! Nothing at all! Ah... just, you know, thought I saw... something. *sweating profoundly* Sten: Since you are clearly looking at me, I would say that you do see something. Faryn: Well... um... yes. Never you mind. Can I help you? Warden: What do you sell here? Faryn: Well... a little of this... a little of that. You know, ah... used armor, mostly. Nothing... ah... that would really interest fine people like yourselves. Sten: Is it refreshing or unsettling that this merchant is reluctant to show us his wares? Warden: That's an odd attitude for a merchant. Faryn: *still sweating* Well, I'm... considerate. Of my customers' time. That's all... Sten: What reassuring certainty.
I'd never had this conversation before so it was quite interesting, Sten also had some interesting lines during the 'open a Chantry in Orzammar' quest Burkel: But Orzammar persists in worshipping its Paragons and forefathers, instead of the Maker. Sten: Hmph. Let them worship whatever they like. The Qun is the only way to enlightenment.

I wish that particular line came after there was no chance left to try talk things out.) Aaaw. I guess those of you who can't bear to disappoint Alistair have to do whatever you can to still get a bit of Loghain action. Although the 'You don't say." loses a bit of weight if the Warden hasn't already personally faced him down in a duel and inducted him into an order of foreigners that he despises before Zevran belatedly reports that he failed to kill them months ago. And I always have a hard time throwing Cailan's kindness back in his face. All the origins end on really severe and even heartbreaking notes, and when you arrive at Ostagar it's just so nice to be warmly welcomed by the King of Ferelden who's ready to think the best of you and your people no matter how shemlen or surfacers usually view them, or assure you that he mourns your parents too, and that you have his support in dealing with the man who betrayed your family once the Blight is 'dealt with'. And regardless, few of my Wardens feel secure or comfortable enough to go out of their way to shock or offend the King that soon after leaving the nest, unless they're Cousland and hoping to outrage him into acting against Howe. Uniquely - for me-, the Mahariel warden I'm wrapping up in Witch Hunt now didn't really understand the nature of human power systems or what exactly Cailan represented at the time, and just said "I'm no friend of yours, human lord." out of petty resentment against Duncan over his conscription. And even then he was completely knocked off his stride at "I hear your people possess remarkable skill and honor." But Hareas also wasn't knowledgeable enough to spot Cailan's vainglory or the way he put the Wardens on a pedestal, or that Duncan was too focused on coddling him to advise him properly about the Blight. Cailan's heart seems to be in the right place when he welcomes you to Ostagar though, and I feel like that small gesture of warmth and compassion and respect is exactly what you need at that point in the game, especially in your first couple of playthroughs. That he turns out to be such a flawed and immature King in spite of being a legitimately nice guy is also the game's first and earliest example of David Gaider's excellent character writing, imo.

For those two, Alistair's feelings don't matter - for one Loghain authorized selling her family to slavers, and for the other he aided and abetted the person that murdered her family. Loghain was going to die anyway. And it may not be quite the same as if Loghain was now under the command of said Warden (with the other King), but still works at that point. Same basic point of time and I imagine Loghain delivering that line while looking over Zevran's shoulder right at the Wardens. As for Cailan, did he ask the question with the best of intentions? Yes. Did he deserve to have it thrown back at him? Probably not. Are most of my Tabris' ready to play nice with any noble at that point? Not really (although I do picture them saying it with different emotions based on the character - some with a shell-shocked/matter-of-fact voice, others with a more sarcastic "so how do you think things are going in the Alienage?"). Is his "Umm... wait, what?" reaction to that line probably the main reason I pick it? Guilty

Is his "Umm... wait, what?" reaction to that line probably the main reason I pick it? Guilty Pfff. Your characters are so oversensitive. They were just elves, after all. I've read a bunch of fanfics and fan theories that point out that the Ferelden high nobility is acting really strange, not in general, but specifically during the period the game is set in. Like, you look at Cailan's suicidal lust for glory while he secretly colludes with the Empress of Orlais knowing that his national hero father-in-law would kill him and tear the country apart before letting it succeed, Loghain selling elves to Tevinter even though he detests foreign support for Ferelden, hates to even hire assassins, personally lead elves into battle during the war and has no trouble respecting an elven PC to boot. Then there's Vaughn's reckless self-indulgence, and especially Howe's completely unexplained descent into madness when both Nathaniel and Delilah swear up and down that he was a true and good man until not that long ago, and had been a loyal vassal to the Couslands for thirty years, whose plan doesn't even make sense. If things hadn't shaken out exactly how they did at Ostagar then he would either have been executed and his family dispossessed, or all his new lands would have been swallowed up by the darkspawn anyway. And then you look at all the Tevinter blood mages who just so happen to be camping out in Denerim while all this is going on... Here's a wish for DA4: Explicit confirmation that both Orlais and Tevinter and the First Warden were covertly trying to undermine Ferelden during the Fifth Blight. Which would certainly explain why Weisshaupt suddenly goes quiet when Loghain or Alistair arrives there.

For those two, Alistair's feelings don't matter - for one Loghain authorized selling her family to slavers, and for the other he aided and abetted the person that murdered her family. Loghain was going to die anyway. And it may not be quite the same as if Loghain was now under the command of said Warden (with the other King), but still works at that point. Same basic point of time and I imagine Loghain delivering that line while looking over Zevran's shoulder right at the Wardens. As for Cailan, did he ask the question with the best of intentions? Yes. Did he deserve to have it thrown back at him? Probably not. Are most of my Tabris' ready to play nice with any noble at that point? Not really (although I do picture them saying it with different emotions based on the character - some with a shell-shocked/matter-of-fact voice, others with a more sarcastic "so how do you think things are going in the Alienage?"). Is his "Umm... wait, what?" reaction to that line probably the main reason I pick it? Guilty Pfff. Your characters are so oversensitive. They were just elves, after all. Tell that to my Tabris' crossbow Raelyn: *smiling sweetly while aiming her crossbow at people who deserve to die* Now let's see--which one first? (and yes, that's part of her actual voice set (I use cocky)
though best one from cocky has to be when you're in Awakening in Blackmarsh when you tap one of those fade rift thingies and they quip 'No, no. Let's not, and say we did.'

And I always have a hard time throwing Cailan's kindness back in his face. Be careful that Duncan doesn't throw you back on your butt for this. I sassed Cailan in one of my runs and Duncan said in a warning tone, 'You're talking to the King of Ferelden.' I'm pretty sure one more peep out of me would have done it. As per Zevran's report, it's also one of my favourite things. That's was beyond hilarious. Loghain's reactions were great too. He's very good at making comebacks. I actually found him to be one of the most reasonable party members.

As I said, I prefer not to be an ass to Cailan when he's meeting you so warmly, but it's sure not because I'm afraid of Duncan's reaction. If he conscripts an unsocialized loudmouth, sociopathic outcast or traumatized walking time bomb against their will then he deserves what's coming to him. Maybe if he didn't think he was Cailan's nice uncle then the boy might have lived to finally grow up. And yes, Loghain is objectively the best party member evah.

Yeah? What's he going to do? Rip you away from your family and sentence you to death again? Worse! Much worse! He'll look embarrassed on your behalf. Oh fearing Duncan isn't the thing. He has shown a lot of restraint in many circumstances. When I was playing the city elf path, I used the line that threatened to mug him in a dark alley and was rude/threatening. He calmly responded, 'it won't be a fair match, you guys aren't even armed. However, if he had an approval meter, you'd probably lose -15 points by being rude Cailan. Duncan doesn't like it at all.
