Cassandra Conversation: Investigate

Tell Me About Yourself

Cassandra Masterpost

PC: I’d like to get to know you better.

Low/neutral approval [1]

High approval [2]

1 - Low/neutral approval

Cassandra: You would?

PC: Is that a problem?

Cassandra: Not entirely. I’m just curious as to your motivation

Dialogue options:

Flirt: I’d like us to be closer. [3] -Cassandra slightly disapproves

General: Just being friendly. [4] +Cassandra approves

General: Suspicious, aren’t you? [5] -Cassandra slightly disapproves

General: Just tell me. [6]

3 - Flirt: I’d like us to be closer. PC: Is there any harm in us becoming a little closer? Cassandra: Plenty. PC: (Chuckles.) Is that right? Cassandra: (Sighs.) As you wish. [11]

4 - General: Just being friendly. PC: No motivation beyond making things between us less… Cassandra: Antagonistic? PC: Exactly. Cassandra: (Sighs.) As you wish. [11]

5 - General: Suspicious, aren’t you? PC: You’re a very suspicious person, you know that? Cassandra: When it’s warranted. PC: I can see why you have so many friends. Cassandra: (Sighs.) As you wish. [11]

6 - General: Just tell me. PC: Just answer the question. [11]

2 - High approval:

Cassandra: There’s… not much to know.

Dialogue options:

Flirt: Such modesty! [7]

General: I’m not trying to pry. [8]

General: That can’t be true. [9]

General: Just tell me something. [10]

7 - Flirt: Such modesty! PC: (Laughs.) You’re being modest? Cassandra: Do you think me a braggart? PC: No. I think you’re interesting. Cassandra: (Sighs.) As you wish. [11]

8 - General: I’m not trying to pry. PC: If you don’t want to talk, I’ll— Cassandra: No, I just… oh, very well. [11]

9 - General: That can’t be true. PC: I’m sure that’s not true. Cassandra: (Sighs.) As you wish. [11]

10 - General: Just tell me something. PC: It’s not that hard, Cassandra. Just tell me something. Cassandra: (Sighs.) As you wish. [11]

11 - Scene continues.

Cassandra: My name is Cassandra Pentaghast, daughter of the royal house of Nevarra, seventy-eighth in line for the Nevarran throne. I joined the Seekers of Truth as a young woman, and was with the Order until they withdrew from the Chantry. I remained as the Divine’s Right Hand, carrying out her order to form the Inquisition–and here we are. That’s all there is to know, my [lord/lady].

12 - Dialogue options:

Investigate: You’re Nevarran royalty? [13]

Investigate: You worked for the Divine? [14]

General: That’s all for now. [15]

13 - Investigate: You’re Nevarran royalty? PC: You’re a member of Nevarra’s royal family? Cassandra: The Pentaghasts are a very large clan. Half of Cumberland could say the same. Herald: Really? Cassandra: No, but it feels that way. I have hundreds of relatives so distant, they need charts to prove we’re related at all. And they have them, oh, yes. The Pentaghasts value their precious blood like it runs with gold.

Dialogue options:

General: Is that why you left Nevarra? [16]

General: So you’re not on good terms. [17]

General: Others would be thankful. [18] -Cassandra slightly disapproves

16 - General: Is that why you left Nevarra? PC: And you joined the Seekers to get away from that? Cassandra: It was a life worth getting away from.[19]

17 - General: So you’re not on good terms. PC: So not on very good terms with your family, then? Cassandra: I do not visit, if that’s what you mean.[19]

18 - General: Others would be thankful. PC: You don’t think being noble gave you opportunities others don’t have? Cassandra: An opportunity to be decadent, perhaps. To be useless to anyone but myself. [19]

19 - Scene continues.

Cassandra: The Pentaghasts are famed for dragon-hunting, but few actually pursue the craft. Most are fat and lazy. They pay lip service to the Maker and care only for idle pleasures and past glories. My brother was all that kept me in Nevarra. Once he was gone, so was I.

20 - Dialogue options:

Investigate: Tell me about Nevarra. [21]

Investigate: What happened to your brother? [22]

[Back to 12]

21 - Investigate: Tell me about Nevarra. PC: You don’t seem to like your homeland much. Cassandra: My family polluted it for me. What little I saw of my homeland was through the bars of a gilded cage. My uncle treated me like a porcelain doll to be placed on a shelf and dusted only when necessary. Thus I did not see Nevarra, the real Nevarra, until much later. By then I realized I knew it not at all.

Dialogue options:

Special: What about your parents? [23]

[Back to 20]

23 - Special: What about parents? PC: Your uncle? What about your parents? Cassandra: They had the misfortune of taking the wrong side in the second attempt to overthrow King Markus. The king executed them, but spared my brother and I since we were family, and children at the time. Thus we were raised by my uncle, a Mortalitasi who preferred the company of his corpses to the living.

Dialogue options:

Special: “Mortalitasi”? [24]

[Back to 20]

24 - Special: “Mortalitasi”? PC: Your uncle was a… Mortalitasi? Cassandra: A death mage. He still is. My countrymen do not burn the dead; they bury them in special crypts. The Mortalitasi supervise the crypts, like priests. Uncle Vestalus oversees the Grand Necropolis. Nevarrans spend more time there honouring dead relatives than they do with living ones. It is odd to be so fascinated with death and its trappings. I will never understand it. [back to 20]

22 - Investigate: What happened to your brother? Cassandra (low approval): I’d rather not. Cassandra (neutral approval): I… would prefer not to speak of Anthony. Another time, perhaps.

Cassandra (high approval): Anthony was older than I, a dragon hunter who showed what a Pentaghast could truly be. I idolized him. I wanted to hunt dragons as he did, even though our uncle forbade it. Anthony promised to train me in secret. We would hunt together one day, brother and sister vanquishing the beasts of old. And then he died on me.

Dialogue options:

General: I shouldn’t have asked. [25]

General: That’s awful. [26]

General: How did he die? [27]

25 - General: I shouldn’t have asked. PC: I’m sorry–I shouldn’t have pried… Cassandra: No. It’s fine. [28]

26 - General: That’s awful. PC: That sounds really awful. Cassandra: It was the end of everything I knew. [28]

27 - General: How did he die? PC: Cassandra: A group of apostates wanted dragon blood, and wanted Anthony to get it for them. He refused, and they killed him for it. In front of me. I begged the Chantry to let me become a templar. Instead, they sent me to the Seekers. It took many years to let go of my drive for vengeance. [28]

28 - Scene continues.

Dialogue options:

General: I understand. [29] +Cassandra slightly approves

General: You blamed all mages? [30]

General: You didn’t let it go. [31] +Cassandra slightly disapproves

29 - General: I understand. PC: I think I understand how you felt. Cassandra: At times I could not breathe; the rage nearly choked me. [32]

30 - General: You blamed all mages? PC: So you blamed all mages for the actions of a few apostates? Cassandra: I was young. Magic was frightening. It all seemed pointless. [32]

31 - General: You didn’t let it go. PC: I’m not so sure you let it go. Cassandra: Not entirely, but now I know the hearts of men are to blame, not magic. [32]

32 - Scene continues.

Cassandra: I sometimes wonder how different my life would be if Anthony was still alive. Would I be a dragon hunter? Married to some noble fool, a mother of three? I cannot say. I take solace in believing the Maker has a plan, but… He is not always kind. [back to 20]

14 - Investigate: You worked for the Divine? PC: So you were the Right Hand to the Divine? Cassandra: To Divine Justinia, yes. And Divine Beatrix before her, in fact. The position is normally reserved for templars of the Knights-Divine, but my circumstances were… unusual. PC: Unusual how? Cassandra: You don’t know the story? Thank the Maker. I will tell you if you wish, but it isn’t as exciting as some drum it up to be. The short version is that I once saved the previous Divine’s life. My reward was becoming her Right Hand.

33 - Dialogue options:

Special: What is a right hand? [34]

Investigate: How did you become Right Hand? [35]

[Back to 12]

34 - Special: What is a right hand? PC: But what does a Right Hand do, exactly? Cassandra: What is your hand capable of? It gives, it takes, it beckons… it makes a fist. Leliana and I extended the Divine’s reach beyond the Grand Cathedral. We went where she could not. After Beatrix, I was tired of the position and wanted to return to the Seekers. But Justinia convinced me to stay. Her vision for the future gave me hope.

Dialogue options:

36 - Special: You believed in her.

[Back to 33]

36 - Special: You believed in her. PC: You thought she could really change things. Cassandra: Justinia knew the war was coming long before it began. She tried to avert it, but the forces arrayed against her were too strong. Sometimes you have to break a bone so it can be reset. That’s where the Inquisition comes in. It was to be the answer: a means to preserve as well as an agent for change. I only wish she had lived to see it.

35 - Investigate: How did you become Right Hand? PC: So, what’s the story about you becoming the Right Hand? Cassandra: Sweet Andraste, do you really want to hear that? It was, what–eighteen, twenty years ago? Some still discuss it like it happened yesterday. The tale gets bigger each time it’s told. I barely recognize myself within it now.

Dialogue options:

General: You’re being modest. [37] General: That’s how stories work. [38] General: So what happened? [39]

37 - General: You’re being modest. PC: I’m sure you’re just being modest. Cassandra: (Snorts.) I was there. I think I know what happened. [40]

38 - General: That’s how stories work. PC: That’s what happens with stories that become legends Cassandra: I am not a legend, nor was I then. I was a young woman, barely out of training. [40]

39 - General: So what happened? PC: You’re stalling. [40]

40 - Scene continues.

Cassandra: To hear others tell it, I alone saved Divine Beatrix from a horde of dragons sent to assault the Grand Cathedral. Rather impressive for such a young Seeker, wouldn’t you say?

PC: And the truth is… ?

Cassandra: I stumbled upon a conspiracy to kill Beatrix. A templar knight-commander was at its heart. And there was a dragon battle at the Grand Cathedral, but I had help from loyal mages who rallied to the cause. They freed the dragons from magical control. Without them, the Divine and I would both have died. Yet I became the Right Hand, and they are forgotten.

41 - Dialogue options:

Investigate: What became of the mages? [42]

Flirt: You’re delightful. [43] +Cassandra slightly approves

General: You’re still a hero. [44]

General: Impressive! [45]

General: Typical of the Chantry. [46]

42 - Investigate: What became of the mages? PC: What happened to the mages that helped you? Cassandra: They went back to their Circles, with rewards and privileges and Most Holy’s gratitude. Many of them died at the Conclave. [back to 41]

43 - Flirt: You’re delightful. PC: (Chuckles.) You’re delightful, you know that? Cassandra: No, I do not know that. PC: Mm-hmm. Cassandra: I object. There is nothing “delightful” about me. PC: I beg to differ. Cassandra (if in Haven): (Sighs.) I think I preferred you in the stocks. Cassandra (if in Skyhold): (Sighs.) Who could have guessed the Inquisitor would be so odd? [back to 12]

44 - General: You’re still a hero. PC: I think you’re a hero, no matter how you downplay it. Cassandra: Fine, but it was twenty years ago. I will not rest upon my laurels. [back to 12]

45 - General: Impressive! PC: An impressive tale! I can see why people enjoy telling it. Cassandra: (Sighs.) Just wait ’til they start telling stories about you. [back to 12]

46 - General: Typical of the Chantry. PC: That’s rather typical of the Chantry, isn’t it? Cassandra: Even worse, few know of the knight-commander’s involvement at all. That sort of willful blindness needs to change. [back to 12]

15 - General: That’s all for now. PC: I’ll let you get back to work.

If the PC speaks to her again:

PC: I have some more questions.

Cassandra (low/neutral approval): Why am I not surprised? Cassandra (high approval): As you wish. [back to 12]

Cassandra Conversation

It Occurs To Me

Cassandra Masterpost

The PC approaches Cassandra to chat for the first time.

Cassandra: It occurs to me I don’t actually know much about you.

PC: What do you want to know?

Cassandra: I’m… not sure. Where are you from?

1 - Dialogue options:

Investigate: You don’t know? [2]

General: [Tell her.] [3]

General: [Make something up.] [4] - Cassandra disapproves

2 - Investigate: You don’t know? PC: I thought you knew that. Cassandra: I suppose I could ask Leliana. She has collected a frightening amount of information on you. But I don’t want to ask her. I want to hear it from you. [back to 1]

3 - General: [Tell her.]

Human non-mage PC PC: I was born in Ostwick, and that’s where most of my family is. Cassandra: The Trevelyans, is it not? A large clan with a rather clever coat-of-arms. Tell me, do you consider the Free Marches your home? Are you eager to go back? [5]

Human PC PC: The Circle of Magi at Ostwick, at least until the rebellion began. Cassandra: Yes, I suppose that… would have required you to stay on the move. Tell me, do you consider the Free Marches your home? Are you eager to go back? [5]

Dalish PC PC: My clan never stayed in one place for long, though we primarily roamed the Free Marches. Cassandra: Oh? I didn’t think your people roamed that far north, but clearly I’m mistaken. I’m told some members of your clan might still be alive. Do you intend to go back? [5]

Dwarf PC PC: Ostwick primarily, though my… business took me around the Free Marches. Cassandra: Ah, the Carta. Odd that organized crime could be a dwarven pastime, but there it is. Tell me, do you consider the Free Marches your home? Are you eager to go back? [5]

Qunari PC PC: No specific place. My mercenary band worked mostly in the Free Marches, however. Cassandra: At least until you crossed the Waking Sea to reach the Conclave, I suppose? Tell me, do you consider the Free Marches your home? Are you eager to go back? [5]

5 - Scene continues.

Dialogue options:

General: I hated it. [6] + Cassandra approves (non-mage human PC)

General: Home is wherever I am. [7] + Cassandra slightly approves

General: Eventually, perhaps. [8]

General: I’d go now, if I had a choice. [9] - Cassandra slightly disapproves

General: None of your business. [10] - Cassandra disapproves

6 - General: I hated it. PC: If I ever go back, it’ll be too soon. Cassandra (human non-mage PC): Yes, I suppose I feel the same way about my own family. Cassandra: Really? That is… good to know, I suppose. [11] ㅤㅤ ㅤ ㅤ 7 - General: Home is wherever I am. PC: Wherever I am is home enough for me. Cassandra: That’s how I feel now, after years of tending to business for the Divine. [11] ㅤㅤ ㅤ ㅤ 8 - General: Eventually, perhaps. PC: I might, once this is done. Cassandra: It will not be the same once you do. [11] ㅤㅤ ㅤ ㅤ 9 - General: I’d go now, if I had a choice. PC: I’d go home right now if I could. Cassandra: Then I hope you can, once this business is done. [11] ㅤㅤ ㅤ ㅤ 10 - General: None of your business. PC: That’s no business of yours. Cassandra: True enough. [11]

4 - General: [Make something up.] PC: I came here from Seheron, actually. Cassandra: That far away? PC: My family came there from the northern islands. We landed there after crossing the great ocean. Cassandra: The… great ocean? PC: Yes. Lands in the far East have mountains twice as large as the ones here. Cassandra: I see. Perhaps asking Leliana was the better choice after all. [11]

11 - Scene ends.

Cullen Cutscene: What Pride Had Wrought

A Prayer For You

Cullen Masterpost Related Quest: What Pride Had Wrought

The PC finds Cullen praying in the small Chantry near the garden in Skyhold.

Choice dependent dialogue:

Continued taking lyrium [1]

Did not continue taking lyrium [2]

1 - Continued taking lyrium

Cullen: In this the truth is found. Blessed are they who stand before the corrupt and the wicked and do not falter. Blessed are the peacekeepers, the champions of the just.

PC: A prayer for you?

Cullen: I hardly know.

Dialogue options:

General: I don’t mean to pry. [3]

General: Then why pray? [4]

General: Explain that. [5]

3 - General: I don’t mean to pry. PC: If you’d rather not say—I didn’t mean to pry.

4 - General: Then why pray? PC: Then why that prayer? Cullen: It used to mean something. I thought it might still.

5 - General: Explain that. PC: What do you mean?

6 - Scene continues.

Cullen: “Blessed are they who stand before the corrupt and the wicked and do not falter.” I swore to myself that I would be free of the Order, free of lyrium. I prayed to Andraste for the strength to endure it. What have I done, if not faltered?

Choice dependent dialogue:

Continued taking lyrium [7]

Taking lyrium temporarily [8]

7 - Dialogue options:

General: You’ve accomplished so much. [9]

General: You followed orders. [10]

General: Does quitting lyrium matter? [11]

9 - General: You’ve accomplished so much. PC: You’ve helped make the Inquisition what it is today–and it’s something to be proud of. Cullen: I could not have done that without–No, you’re right. I sword to put the Inquisitor first. I will see it through to the end.

10 - General: You followed orders. PC: You have given the Inquisition what it needs and done what was asked of you. Cullen: Then I kept my word. There is peace in that.

11 - General: Does quitting lyrium matter? PC: You left the Order—isn’t that enough? Cullen: I hoped to regain some control over my life. I’m not sure I have.

12 - Scene continues.

Cullen: Forgive me. I swore to serve the Inquisition. I should not question what that entails. Inquisitor.

He leaves.

Scene ends.

8 - Dialogue options:

General: This is temporary. [13]

General: You’ve raised an army. [14]

General: It’s all in your head. [15]

13 - General: This is temporary. PC: You put the needs of the Inquisition above your own. When this is over, you will keep your promise. Cullen: Corypheus will retaliate. It’s only a matter of time. [22]

14 - General: You’ve raised an army. PC: You’ve built an army that helps protect half of Thedas. Cullen: Corypheus will retaliate. It’s only a matter of time. [22]

15 - General: It’s all in your head. PC: Quitting lyrium wouldn’t make you a better person. You must do that on your own. Cullen: Then I must see Corypheus ended. Our success at Mythal will force his hand. [22]

2 - Did not continue taking lyrium

Cullen: Though all before me is shadow, yet shall the Maker be my guide. I shall not be left to wander the drifting roads of the Beyond. For there is no darkness in the Maker’s light and nothing He has wrought shall be lost.

PC: A prayer for you?

Cullen: For those we have lost. And those I am afraid to lose.

Dialogue options:

Flirt: Afraid to lose? [16]

General (Met Flemythal): I’ve seen a real god. [17]

General (non-Andrastian PC): Prayers don’t fix anything. [18]

General: How can you have faith? [19]

General: You haven’t lost your faith. [20]

16 - Flirt: Afraid to lose? PC: You’re afraid? Cullen: Of course I am! Corypheus possessed that Grey Warden at Mythal. What more is he capable of? It is only a matter of time before he retaliates. [21]

17 - General: I’ve seen a real god. PC: I’ve seen a god. Or so she claimed. Cullen: Perhaps you did. I cannot say for certain. Does that make what I believe any less real? I’ve questioned it at times, but I have found comfort in faith when life offered little. Corypheus will retaliate. It’s only a matter of time. [21]

18 - General: Prayers don’t fix anything. PC: You think talking to the Maker will help? Cullen: I found comfort in faith when life offered little. Perhaps you find comfort elsewhere. Corypheus will retaliate. It’s only a matter of time. [21]

19 - General: How can you have faith? PC: How can you still have faith? Cullen: I’ve questioned it at times, but I have found comfort in faith when life offered little. Corypheus will retaliate. It’s only a matter of time. [21]

20 - General: You haven’t lost your faith. PC: I’m glad you haven’t lost your faith. Cullen: I’ve questioned it at times, but I have found comfort in faith when life offered little. Corypheus will retaliate. It’s only a matter of time. [21]

21 - Scene continues.

Cullen: We must draw strength wherever we can.

22 - Choice dependent dialogue

General (temporarily taking lyrium): We will win. [25]

General: It never ends, does it? [27]

General: We must be prepared. [28]

25 - General: We will win. PC: It’s only a matter of time. We will see this done, Cullen. Cullen: That I have never doubted. I should return to my duties. There’s more to be done. Scene ends.

26 - General: From peace of mind, maybe? PC: From moments like this, perhaps? Cullen: There are fewer of those lately. PC: There’s time now. Scene ends.

27 - General: It never ends, does it? PC: Unless he gets bored and surrenders. Any chance of that? Cullen: (Laughs.) I doubt it. Scene ends.

28 - General: We must be prepared. PC: Are we prepared? Cullen: We will be. I should return to my duties. There’s more to be done. Scene ends.

24 - Romance

Cullen: When the time comes, you will be thrown into his path again. Andraste preserve me, I must send you to him.

Dialogue options:

Special (took coin): I have good luck. [29]

Pleased (did not take coin): We’re going to win. [31]

Angry: I hate this whole situation. [31]

Anxious: What if I don’t make it? [32]

Stoic: Corypheus must be stopped. [33]

29 - Special: I have good luck. PC: There’s nothing to worry about. I have luck on my side, remember? Cullen: (Laughs.) That’s less comforting than I’d hoped. [34]

Dialogue options:

General: You’re still worried. [35]

General: Is that so? [36]

General: Yes, I will. [37]

35 - General: Is that so? PC: Is that an order, Commander? Cullen: No. But as one of your advisors, I strongly recommend it. Inquisitor: (Laughs.) If you say so. Scene ends.

36 - General: Yes, I will. PC: I certainly hope so. Cullen: The thought of losing you… I can’t. Scene ends.

Blackwall Cutscene: What Pride Had Wrought

Are You Ready (High approval)

Blackwall Masterpost Related Quest: What Pride Had Wrought

The PC approaches Blackwall in the barn, where he is looking over the rocking horse he built.

PC: So it’s done?

Blackwall: Just about. The little ones in the camps don’t have much. I thought this might cheer them up. Even in the midst of war, they deserve to be children.

PC: It’s almost time. Are you ready?

Choice dependent dialogue:

Free to atone [1]

Free to atone (romance) [2]

Sent to the Wardens [3]

Sent to the Wardens (romance) [4]

1 - Free to atone

Blackwall: I am. I’ve been ready for a long time. Things become clear on the battlefield. It’s where I truly know myself. Everything else fades.

Dialogue options:

General: You seem happy. [5]

General: No fear? [6]

General: I agree. [7]

5 - General: You seem happy. PC: You’re content. I’m glad. Blackwall: I am. [8]

6 - General: No fear? PC: Shouldn’t you at least pretend to be afraid of Corypheus? He is an ancient magister darkspawn with untold power. Blackwall: There is fear, but also exhilaration. [8]

7 - General: I agree. PC: It’s simpler in a fight. Enemy? Kill. Blackwall: I, too, am a soldier. [8]

8 - Scene continues

Blackwall: There has always been one constant. I am a soldier. I am trained to kill, to follow orders, and to ask no questions. But this time, I’m fighting for something I believe in, for people I care about. I chose to stay with the Inquisition. I chose this fight, and the difference is profound. I have only you to thank. Scene ends.

2 - Free to atone (romance)

Blackwall: No. Not at all. I already lost you once. Now I might lose you again.

Dialogue options:

General: Have faith in me. [9]

General: Would hard liquor help? [10]

General: It won’t happen. [11]

9 - General: Have faith in me. PC: I won’t let us be torn apart a second time. Blackwall: You have some power, my lady, but not even you can thwart death. [12]

10 - General: Would hard liquor help? PC: Maybe a drink is in order. Blackwall: Yes, we’ll approach Corypheus in a stupor. Won’t feel a thing when death hits us. As much as I like the idea, I might have to decline. [12]

11 - General: It won’t happen. PC: Corypheus can’t stand against us. Blackwall: I will draw strength from your conviction. [12]

12 - Scene continues.

Blackwall: One thing’s certain–I’ll fight harder than any man out there. I’ll fight harder than I ever have. There’s always something to die for. But something worth living for? That doesn’t come every day. Scene ends.

3 - Sent to the Wardens

Blackwall: You know I am. I welcome the battle and what comes after. I will end up in Warden custody. It was what Blackwall wanted, more or less.

Dialogue options:

General: They will be merciful. [13]

General: More or less. [14]

General: Focus on the battle. [15]

13 - General: They will be merciful. PC: I’m confident they won’t overlook the work you’ve done for the Inquisition. Blackwall: That remains to be seen. Best not to presume.

14 - General: More or less. PC: Blackwall wanted you to be a Warden. Who knows if the surviving Wardens will agree… They may not appreciate you impersonating one of their number.

15 - General: Focus on the battle. PC: Corypheus is our priority. Keep your attention on him. Blackwall: I won’t be distracted from our enemy.

16 - Scene continues.

Blackwall: I don’t fear the Wardens’ judgment. It will be no worse than what Orlais had in store. And I’ve made my peace with that. Redemption doesn’t come easy, but perhaps killing Corypheus will be a start. You’ve been a true friend when I haven’t deserve it. I am honored to fight by your side. Scene ends.

4 - Sent to the Wardens (romance)

Blackwall: You know I am. I welcome the battle and what comes after. My only regret is that I have to leave your side.

Dialogue options:

General: It’s not an end. [17]

General: Not for long. [18]

General: We still have some time. [19]

17 - General: It’s not an end. PC: The Wardens will be a new beginning for you. But we could still use your sword here, if it’s allowed and you wish to return. Blackwall: You know I do. I will always return to you. Scene ends.

18 - General: Not for long. PC: I’m not letting you go that easy. Once you’re a Grey Warden, you get right back here. I need my Warden advisor. Blackwall: Advisor? PC: Let’s just call it that. Scene ends.

19 - General: We still have some time. PC: It’s not over yet. We still have time together. Blackwall: And I will cherish it. Scene ends.

Choice dependent dialogue:

Neutral approval, freed/made warden [1]

Low approval, freed/made warden [2]

Imprisoned [3]

Broke up during judgement (regardless of approval or Blackwall’s fate) [4]

1 - Neutral approval, freed/made Warden

Blackwall: Of course. I will see this through to the end, Inquisitor. This will be a battle for the ages, and I’m honored to be fighting on your side.

Dialogue options:

General: The feeling is mutual. [5]

General: Battle for the ages? [6]

General: We’re going to win. [7]

5 - General: The feeling is mutual. PC: And I’m honored to be fighting by yours. Blackwall: Let’s talk later. There are preparations to be made. Scene ends.

6 - General: Battle for the ages? PC: It won’t be remembered as “a battle for the ages” if we get trounced. Blackwall: I don’t believe that will happen. I don’t think Corypheus does either. Let’s talk later. There are preparations to be made. Scene ends.

7 - General: We’re going to win. PC: Corypheus has no chance against us. Blackwall: Let’s hope you’re right. Let’s talk later. There are preparations to be made. Scene ends.

2 - Low approval, freed/made Warden

Blackwall: Of course. I will see this through to the end, Inquisitor. We haven’t always agreed, but we both recognize the threat Corypheus poses.

Dialogue options:

General: Together, then. [8]

General: He brings people together. [9]

General: Good enough. [10]

8 - General: Together, then. PC: And we’ll defeat him. Together. Blackwall: Let’s talk later. There are preparations to be made. Scene ends.

General: Now you make amends. [11]

General: You’ve wanted this. [12]

General: You could die. [13]

11 - General: Now you make amends. PC: Take this chance to prove yourself. Atone for what you did. Blackwall: I intend to. And regardless of what’s happened, I’m grateful for the opportunity. Don’t concern yourself with me. I know what I owe the Inquisition. Scene ends.

12 - General: You’ve wanted this. PC: Wait, that was a stupid question. This is what you’ve always wanted, isn’t it? To fight an ancient darkspawn, convince yourself you’re actually a Warden? Blackwall: Perhaps I wanted that once. Now, I simply do what’s required by the Inquisition… and by you. You made it abundantly clear that my desires no longer matter. Don’t concern yourself with me. I know what I owe the Inquisition. Scene ends.

13 - General: You could die. PC: And are you ready to die? Blackwall: You know I am, and sometimes I wonder if it isn’t time to let “Warden Blackwall” die, too. Don’t concern yourself with me. I know what I owe the Inquisition. Scene ends.

15 - General: Are you sure? PC: After what’s happened, I’m skeptical. Blackwall: I promised to serve. I will. Don’t concern yourself with me. I know what I owe the Inquisition. Scene ends.

16 - General: Good. PC: I need you committed. Blackwall: You know I am, and sometimes I wonder if it isn’t time to let “Warden Blackwall” die, too. Don’t concern yourself with me. I know what I owe the Inquisition. Scene ends.

17 - General: Stop it. PC: Stop talking like that. Whatever we had is done. Blackwall: You can affect what’s out there. You have power enough to do that. But in here? That’s still mine. Scene ends.

Leliana Cutscene: What Pride Had Wrought

Is It So Ridiculous

Leliana Masterpost Related Quest: What Pride Had Wrought

Leliana: I was pondering who might be Divine, and it suddenly occurred to me. Is it so ridiculous for the grand clerics to support me? Why shouldn’t they?

1 - Dialogue options:

Investigate: What would you do as Divine? [2]

Underworld: They should and they will. [3]

I’d support you. (Support Leliana as the new Divine.) [4] Divine: Leliana +1

You shouldn’t be Divine. (do not support Leliana as Divine.) [5]

2 - Investigate: What would you do as Divine? PC: If you were Divine, what would you do? Leliana: Change things. Change everything.

Leliana (if allied mages): Your support of the mage rebellion was a good start. We must build on this.

Leliana: No more Circles. The mages will be free. The Chantry will accept them as the Maker’s children. In fact, it will accept everyone. Elves, dwarves, even Qunari. Why exclude them? The Chantry allows our differences to tear us apart, instead of teaching us how we are the same. [back to 1]

2 - Underworld: They should and they will. PC: I think all the grand clerics should support you. I’ll find a way to make that happen. Leliana: Your familiarity with the politics of the Chantry often astounds. I won’t say no to your support.

4 - General: I’d support you. PC: I think you would make a good Divine. Leliana: I am glad to hear it. Your support may persuade the grand clerics to vote in my favor.

5 - General: You shouldn’t be Divine. PC: I don’t support this. There are better candidates. Leliana: I see. Then I should be glad it’s not up to you. It’s time for change, Inquisitor. The grand clerics know that.

6 - Choice dependent dialogue:

Personal quest not completed [7]

Personal quest completed, softened [8]

Personal quest completed, hardened [9]

7 - Personal quest not completed Leliana: Justinia wanted to accept the Mages. Our treatment of them made the mess you had to clean up. But perhaps it is not just mages we must accept, but all people. A nice dream, no?

Dialogue options:

General: It’s a noble goal. [10] Divine: Leliana +1

General: A nice dream, yes. [11]

General: Not according to the Chant. [12]

10 - General: It’s a noble goal. PC: It is certainly something worth working for. [13] ㅤㅤ ㅤ ㅤ 11 - General: A nice dream, yes. PC: It is nice, but definitely a dream. Leliana: (Sighs.) You’re right, of course. [13] ㅤㅤ ㅤ ㅤ 12 - General: Not according to the Chant. PC: That goes against the Chant of Light. It goes against Andraste’s teachings. Leliana: Andraste’s teachings have been used for ages to further the personal agendas of kings and clerics. [13] ㅤㅤ ㅤ ㅤ 13 - Scene continues. ㅤㅤ ㅤ ㅤ Leliana: Ah, but what am I saying? Justinia couldn’t find enough support for reform. Why would I fare any better? Perhaps I should stop filling with my head such foolish notions and get back to work. Scene ends.

8 - Personal quest completed, softened Leliana: The Chantry was a beacon of hope to me once, you know. In my years at Lothering’s chantry, we turned no one away from our doors. It was a refuge, a place of peace. I felt the Maker’s presence and His love, even when they told me He’d left us. This is the Chantry I know, the Chantry I wish the world to see.

Dialogue options:

General: The world needs that Chantry. [14] Divine: Leliana +1

General: That’s not the Chantry I know. [15]

General: Keep dreaming. [16]

14 - General: The world needs that Chantry. PC: The world could certainly use the force for good you describe. Leliana: Yes, the Chantry should be a force for good, instead of what it is. [17] ㅤㅤ ㅤ ㅤ 15 - General: That’s not the Chantry I know. PC: The Chantry you describe is vastly different from the one I know. Leliana: But it could be this way, could it not? [17] ㅤㅤ ㅤ ㅤ 16 - General: Keep dreaming. PC: That’s never going to happen. Leliana: Why couldn’t I change it? [17] ㅤㅤ ㅤ ㅤ 17 - Scene continues. ㅤㅤ ㅤ ㅤ Leliana: The Chantry dictated where it should have inspired. It spoke of judgement instead of acceptance. It should encourage the good in everyone, rather than rebuke us for our sins. No one should be turned away from out doors. No one is without worth. Whoever you are, whatever your mistakes, you are loved. Unconditionally. “In your heart shall burn an unquestionable flame.” Scene ends.

9 - Personal quest completed, hardened Leliana: Justinia wanted the Chantry to grow, but her reforms never took root. She was held back by tradition and was too gentle to force change. I won’t make that mistake.

Dialogue options:

General: You can’t force change. [18]

General: Getting blown up didn’t help. [19]

General: Why does change matter? [20] Divine: Leliana +1

18 - General: You can’t force change. PC: You can’t force people to change their minds. Leliana: Then how will change ever come? People do not simply happen upon enlightenment. Most must be carried there. ㅤㅤ ㅤ ㅤ 19 - General: Getting blown up didn’t help. PC: You never know. Justinia might have succeeded, if she hadn’t been caught in a giant blast of magic. Leliana: I won’t make that mistake either. ㅤㅤ ㅤ ㅤ 20 - General: Why does change matter? PC: I don’t see why you’d bother. Leliana: Because I owe it to Justinia. She started the work, and I will finish it. ㅤㅤ ㅤ ㅤ 21 - Scene continues. ㅤㅤ ㅤ ㅤ Leliana: Justinia thought the Circles needed to change, by why stop there? The Chantry alienated potential allies by brutalizing elves and belittling dwarves. There are those who would cling to the old ways, of course, but they will see. I would make them see. Ah, but I’ve rambles on too long. I am not Divine. Yet. Scene ends.

Solas Cutscene: What Pride Had Wrought

Forgive My Melancholy

Solas Masterpost Related Quest: What Pride Had Wrought

The PC speaks to Solas in the rotunda.

Choice dependent dialogue:

PC drank (romanced/high/neutral approval) [1]

PC drank (low approval) [2]

Morrigan drank [3]

1 - PC drank (romanced/high approval)

PC drank, Solas was at the Temple: Solas (romance): I begged you not to drink from the Well. Why could you not have listened? Solas: Why did you do it? I warned you not to. PC: Solas… [4]

PC drank, Solas was not at the Temple: Solas (romance): Why did you not bring me to the Temple of Mythal? I could have warned you. Solas: I wish I had been with you at the Temple of Mythal. I could have warned you. PC: Warned me? [4]

4 - Dialogue options:

Investigate: Meaning? [5] +Solas slightly approves

General: I’m still myself. [6] -Solas slightly disapproves

General: Why does this bother you? [7] +Solas slightly approves

General: It’s done. [8] -Solas slightly disapproves

5 - Investigate: Meaning? PC: What does that mean, exactly? Solas: You are Mythal’s creature now. Everything you do, whether you know it or not, will be for her. You have given up a part of yourself. [back to 4]

6 - General: I’m still myself. PC: I have not become Mythal’s slave. Solas: Not yet, but if you remove the layer of nostalgia from stories of the elven gods, you might see the danger. They were arrogant and fickle. They warred amongst themselves. They had feuds, vendettas. And you are bound to one of them now. I suppose it is better you have the power than Corypheus, which leads to the next logical question… [12]

7 - General: Why does this bother you? PC: You don’t even believe in the ancient elven gods! Solas: I don’t believe they were gods, no, but I believe that they existed! Something existed to start the legends! If not gods, then mages, or spirits, or something we’ve never seen. And you are bound to one of them now. I suppose it is better you have the power than Corypheus, which leads to the next logical question… [12]

8 - General: It’s done. PC: I had to do it, and I can’t very well take it back now. Solas: I know. I only hope it is worth whatever price you pay. I suppose it is better you have the power than Corypheus, which leads to the next logical question… [12]

2 - PC drank (low approval)

Solas: How does it feel to have the power of an ancient elven goddess flowing through you? Is it everything you hoped?

General: I had to do it. [9]

General: It was the witch or me. [10]

General: I’m fine. [11]

9 - General: I had to do it. PC: I didn’t ask for this, Solas. Solas: You drank. That is all that matters. I look forward to seeing how this works out for you. [12]

10 - General: It was the witch or me. PC: Would you rather I give Morrigan that power? Does that sound like a good idea? Solas: You see power as little more than a larger weapon. I look forward to seeing the price you pay. Until then… [12]

11 - General: I’m fine. PC: I don’t feel any different. Solas: I will try to suppress my surprise. Nevertheless, the power is yours… until Mythal chooses otherwise. [12]

3 - Morrigan drank

Solas (was at temple): The Temple of Mythal was extraordinary. In all my journeys, I never dreamed of finding anything like it. [12] Solas (was not at temple): The Temple of Mythal sounds truly astounding. I would have liked to have seen it. [12]

12 - Scene continues.

Solas: What will you do with the power of the Well once Corypheus is dead?

Dialogue options:

General: I’ll restore what was. [13] +Solas approves

General: I’ll make the world better. [14] +Solas slightly approves

General: I’ll rely on those I trust. [15] -Solas slightly disapproves

General: One thing at a time. [16] -Solas disapproves

13 - General: I’ll restore what was. PC: I’ll use whatever power I have to undo the chaos that Corypheus and his allies have caused. Solas: You would put things back the way they were before? PC: Yes. I mean, not exactly… Solas: I know what you mean. Thank you. PC: For what?

Solas (neutral/high approval): You have not been what I expected, Inquisitor. You have… impressed me. You honor the past and work to recover what was lost, even if the cost is high. I respect that, and I am indebted to you for the reminder. [25] Solas (low approval): I do not agree with everything you have done, Inquisitor. Your actions have been shortsighted. You have made mistakes. But you understand the importance of recovering what was lost, even if the cost is high. I respect that, and I am indebted to you for the reminder. [25]

14 - General: I’ll make the world better. PC: This war proved that we can’t go back to the way things were. I’ll try to help this world move forward. Solas: You would risk everything you have in the hope that the future is better? What if it isn’t? What if you wake up to find that the future you shaped is worse than what was?

Dialogue options:

General: I’ll keep trying. [17]

General: That won’t happen. [18]

General: That doesn’t matter. [19]

17 - General: I’ll keep trying. PC: I’ll take a breath, see where things went wrong, and then try again. Solas: Just like that? PC: If we don’t keep trying, we’ll never get it right. Solas: You’re right. Thank you. PC: For what? [20] ㅤㅤ ㅤ ㅤ 18 - General: That won’t happen. PC: We’ve done all right so far. We’ll have problems, yes, but we can handle them, Solas: Such confidence. PC: What’s the alternative? Do nothing? We have to keep trying. Solas: You’re right. Thank you. PC: For what? [20] ㅤㅤ ㅤ ㅤ 19 - General: That doesn’t matter. PC: If that happens, it happens. We’re doing the best we can. That’s all we can do. Solas: You’re right. Thank you. PC: For what? [20] ㅤㅤ ㅤ ㅤ 20 - Scene continues. ㅤㅤ ㅤ ㅤ Solas (neutral/high approval): You have not been what I expected, Inquisitor. You have… impressed me. You have offered hope that if one keeps trying, even if the consequences are grave… that someday, things will be better. [25] Solas (low approval): I do not agree with everything you have done, Inquisitor. Your actions have been shortsighted. You have made mistakes. But you never give up. You never stop trying, even when the consequences are grave. For your determination, I offer thanks. [25]

General: I’ll rely on those I trust. PC: I’m not arrogant enough to think it’s my decision alone. Whatever happens, we’ll do it together. Solas: You think to share your power, to avoid the temptation to misuse it. A noble sentiment… but, ultimately, a mistake. PC: Why? Solas: Because while one selfless [person] may walk away from the lure of power’s corruption… no group has ever done so.

Dialogue options:

General: We will. [21] -Solas slightly disapproves

General: What, never? [22]

General: I will still lead. [23] +Solas slightly approves

21 - General: We will. PC: I trust my friends. Solas: I know that mistake well enough to carve the angles of her face from memory. PC: Why is this so important to you? [24] ㅤㅤ ㅤ ㅤ 22 - General: What, never? PC: There’s a first time for everything. Solas: Perhaps… but it will not be this time. I believe even you know that. PC: Why is this so important to you? [24] ㅤㅤ ㅤ ㅤ 23 - General: I will still lead. PC: If other members of the Inquisition overstep their bounds, I’ll be there to stop them. Solas: Ah, then I misunderstood. You will be first among equals. Good. PC: Good? [24] ㅤㅤ ㅤ ㅤ 24 - Scene continues. ㅤㅤ ㅤ ㅤ Solas (neutral/high approval): You have not been what I expected, Inquisitor. You have… impressed me. You must not let false modesty allow you to pass your power to someone else. There are few regrets sharper than watching fools squander what you sacrificed to achieve. [25] Solas (low approval): I do not agree with everything you have done, Inquisitor. Your actions have been shortsighted. You have made mistakes. But they are your mistakes. You cannot correct them unless you claim them. Honor your mistakes. In the end, they may be all you have. [25]

16 - General: One thing at a time. PC: I won’t know the answer until Corypheus is defeated. Solas: Yet they are already asking you to answer. Restore the Chantry? Destroy the Chantry? If you do nothing, someone else will answer in your stead. Whatever you do, choose wisely. [25]

25 - Scene continues.

Solas: Forgive my melancholy. Corypheus has cost us much. The Temple of Mythal did not deserve such a fate. The orb he carries, and its stolen power… that, at least, we may still recover. With luck, some of the past may yet survive.

Dialogue options:

General: Thank you for everything. [26]

General: Sounds like you’re leaving. [27]

General: Enough. Let’s finish this. [28]

General (romance): We’ll do it together. [29]

General (romance): So… good luck kiss? [30]

General (romance): Hey, stop worrying. [31]

26 - General: Thank you for everything. PC: Thank you, Solas. We couldn’t have done this without you. Solas: You are welcome. Scene ends.

27 - General: Sounds like you’re leaving. PC: You planning to leave before we take down the bad guy? Solas: No, but there may not be a later. It seemed wise to say my goodbyes now. Scene ends.

28 - General: Enough. Let’s finish this. PC: We can talk more once Corypheus is dead. Solas: I hope so. Scene ends.

29 - General: We’ll do it together. PC: Whatever comes, I will have you by my side. Solas: Come with me, vhenan. Scene ends.

30 - General: So… good luck kiss? PC: You’re being grim and fatalistic in the hope of getting me into bed, aren’t you? Solas: I am grim and fatalistic. Getting you into bed is just an enjoyable side benefit. Come with me, vhenan. Scene ends.

31 - General: Hey, stop worrying. PC: You’re talking like you’re going to die. Stop. We’re going to get through this. Solas: I hope you’re right. Come with me, vhenan. Scene ends.

Sera Romance: What Pride Had Wrought

Elfy Shite

Sera Masterpost Related Quest: What Pride Had Wrought

The PC opens the door to Sera’s room in the Herald’s Rest.

Choice dependent dialogue:

PC drank [1]

Morrigan drank, asked Abelas about ancient elves [2]

Morrigan drank, did not ask Abelas about elves [3]

1 - PC drank Sera: Oh, hi, yeah? Listen, stand there. Right there.

She draws her bow and points an arrow at the PC

Sera: Now, about Mythal.

Dialogue options:

Anxious: Put that away! [4]

Angry: I just wanted to talk! [5]

Confused: What should my reaction be? [6]

4 - Anxious: Put that away! PC: Sera, whatever’s wrong, we can talk about it! Sera: Oh, for… ! Don’t piss yourself, I just wanted to make sure it was you in there! [7]

5 - Angry: I just wanted to talk! PC: Don’t aim that in my face, Sera! What is wrong with you! Sera: What’s wrong with me? What’s wrong with you? If that is you. [7]

6 - Confused: What should my reaction be? PC: Sera, I don’t know what reaction you want, but can this be it so we can be done? a: All right, so maybe it’s still you. Someone needed to do something. [7]

7 - Scene continues.

Sera puts her bow away.

Sera: I mean, you went wading into a “Well of Sorrows.” Who hears that and thinks, “Well, dunk a butt, let’s have a go!”

Sera (asked about ancient elves): Even mad old Abelas said elves destroyed themselves. The only believable bit in a sea of clear demon bait. Sera (did not ask about ancient elves): I mean, that whole place, clearly demon bait. Top to bottom.

Sera: It makes messing with their relics real stupid. So! Test done, you’re still you. We can leave these lies behind. [12]

2 - Morrigan drank, asked Abelas about ancient elves Sera: (Stifled laugh.) I’m sorry. Oh, wait, no, I’m not. It’s just the funniest, innit? That creaky old Abelas in Mythal saying the elves weren’t destroyed by Tevinter?

General: A painful admission for him. [8]

General: You’re gloating? [9]

General: What’s so funny about it? [10]

8 - General: A painful admission for him. PC: An admission that did not come easy. Sera: Course it didn’t, because that’s elfy elves’ thing, being the sore losers of history. I never hear the end of it. [11]

9 - General: You’re gloating? PC: That’s some “long dead” you’re gloating over. Sera: Pfft, about time I got mine back. Elfy elves have shoved “victim” in my face a million times. [11]

10 - General: What’s so funny about it? PC: If that’s a joke, I don’t get it. Sera: Everyone is always, “Oh, poor elves, victims of this and whatever.” But the empire ate itself. Love it. [11]

11 - Scene continues.

Sera (Dalish PC): We’re not “proper” if we aren’t sad about the grand history “stolen” from us. Turns out we’re no better than anyone else. Sera (non-Dalish PC): Like being sad makes them better than me. Turns out, they’re not victims. They’re the same as everyone else: arseholes.

Sera: Plus, a big, old temple full of demon-worshipping lies. Grand, that. [12]

3 - Morrigan drank, did not ask Abelas about elves Sera: Oh, hi, you! Strange days, right? Weird elves and Morrigan going wading. Better her than you. Glad to be back where things make sense after the demon-worshipping lies of Mythal. When do we go after What’s-his-lumps? [12]

12 - Dialogue options:

Investigate (PC drank): This threat was a test? [13]

General: You think Mythal was all lies? [14]

General: This was about demon worship? [15]

General: What do you mean? [16]

13 - Investigate: This threat was a test? PC: How was aiming an arrow at my face a test? Sera: I heard once that if you’re possessed, the demon will defend itself against attack. Sounds stupid to say it out loud. I don’t know. I don’t know demons. At least if it’s true, the arrow’s right there. I’m sorry, yeah? Morrigan’s probably got better ways, but who can trust her?

Dialogue options:

Special: Never again, you hear me? [17] -Sera slightly disapproves

[Back to 12]

17 - Special: Never again, you hear me? PC: You never do that to me again. Sera: Fine, all right. Sorry I don’t know how to deal with rubbish no one was meant to. [back to 12]

14 - General: You think Mythal was all lies? PC: You seem pretty certain. You don’t believe anything from Mythal? Sera: Course not. What, I should believe all that stuff “because elves”?

15 - General: This was about demon worship? PC: So your main takeaway is that elves worshipped demons? Sera: Well, they never call them that, yeah? But that’s what it had to be.

16 - General: What do you mean? PC: Why are you dismissing what happened in Mythal? Sera: Of course. None of it holds up.

18 - Scene continues.

Sera: I mean, it was impressive and all. Makes the Dalish look like tits for living in the woods. But so what? There can’t be a bunch of gods and the Maker. Don’t matter how much or little you believe, those don’t fit. So call me stupid, but I believe the stuff not made up by dead people who failed. Mythal is a ruin full of demons. I mean, it just makes sense, right?

Choice dependent dialogue:

Non-Dalish PC [19] Dalish PC [20]

19 - Non-Dalish PC Dialogue options:

General: But what if even some is true? PC: There’s so much history there. What if some of it is true? -Sera slightly disapproves ㅤㅤ ㅤ ㅤ

General: I agree it was all lies. [31] +Sera greatly approves

Sera: No, now you’re stupid. You can’t think that, because it’s stupid.

PC: But everything we saw?

Sera: Why believe it? Because Abelas looked weird? If that’s all it takes, Coryphy-shitheel is full of lumpy truth.

Sera: You’re not even an elf. Why are you being so damned elfy? I mean, I’ve dated some right tits, but you’re the Herald of Andraste! You keep saying this, you’ll sound like an idiot.

General: Will this affect us? [21] General: So, are you mad or what? [22] General: I don’t like your tone. [23]

21 - General: Will this affect us? PC: You’re upset. Will this come between us? Sera: Pfft! If I gave up on everybody who believed stupid stuff.

22 - General: So, are you mad or what? PC: Is this a fight? Because you’re calling me a lot of names. Sera: It’s not a fight. You can believe whatever stupid stuff you want.

23 - General: I don’t like your tone. PC: I don’t appreciate that. What if this is important to me? Sera: You can think whatever you want.

24 - Scene continues.

Sera: I mean, I can like you as an idiot, but maybe the Inquisition expects more? Maybe keep quiet? Sera: I mean, Qunari probably have weird horn gods, but you’ll keep quiet while leading the Inquisition, right? Sera: I mean, dwarves kiss rocks or something, but you’ll keep quiet while leading the Inquisition, right?

Dialogue options:

Flirt: Let’s both shut up. You first. (Continue the relationship) [25] +Sera greatly approves

Too far, Sera. We’re done. (End the relationship.) [26] -Sera greatly disapproves

25 - Flirt: Let’s both shut up. You first. PC: Right, you want me to be quiet, set an example. Shut it. Sera: Pfft. Charmer. Come on, let’s get ready for Lumpy. And by “Lumpy” I mean Coryphishit, not your bits, because that would be gross. Lumpy bits. So yeah… I’m done. Food? Scene ends.

26 - Too far, Sera. We’re done. PC: That’s what you think of me? Sera: What? You don’t know everything. PC: I expect support. I expect better. I think we’re done. Sera: We’re… ? But I didn’t… ? Right, fine. You know what, you know so much? Go know it yourself. I don’t need this. And I don’t need you either. Fuck. Scene ends.

General: I believe it was all true. PC: The evidence is hard to ignore. I believe it. -Sera slightly disapproves ㅤㅤ ㅤ ㅤ

General: I agree it was all lies. [31] +Sera greatly approves

Sera: Frig. You’re going elfy.

PC: What?

Sera: It’s when fairy stories make your ears droop for “lost glory,” but “glory” squats in the woods and smells like halla arse.

Sera: I knew it was coming, knew I shouldn’t start to like you. I said it, right? This doesn’t fit. It can’t fit. I’m not elfy. So say you’re kidding, and we can go back to our weird-enough normal? Please, [Honey Tongue/Buckles/Tadwinks/Shiny/’Teetness/Inky]?

27 - Dialogue options:

Investigate: Why is this too much for you? [28]

Flirt: For you, anything. (Agree with Sera. Relationship continues.) [29] +Sera greatly approves (after investigate) +Sera approves (did not investigate)

I’m an elf. I can’t look away. (Disagree with Sera. Relationship ends.) [30] -Sera greatly disapproves

28 - Investigate: Why is this too much for you? PC: You’ll really end our relationship over what I think of some ruins? Sera: Maybe I don’t believe much or understand it, but some people think too much and can bend anything to fit anything. Some things just don’t fit. Yes, you can explain it, and no, I won’t get it. But I don’t care. Some things don’t fit. So take it back. Just say you’d rather look ahead. That’s all. [back to 27]

29 - Flirt: For you, anything. PC: You’re right. A temple full of nonsense. You and I, we don’t need it. Sera: Frigging right, we don’t. Confusing bunch of… You know what we need? How about we go someplace alive and live? Can’t find that in a hole in the ground. Scene ends.

30 - I’m an elf. I can’t look away. PC: I’m sorry, Sera, but I believe this is important for our fellow elves. Sera: And say the other bit. PC: What? Sera: “You’d get it if you were smarter. If you understood what it ‘meant to be elven.’” Take your elves. I’m just people. Tell me when we’re kicking Coryphy’s arse. The rest, we don’t do anymore. Fuck. Scene ends.

31 - General: I agree it was all lies. PC: I’m with you, everything in that temple was highly suspect. Sera: Oh, good. I was worried you were going elfy on me. Come on, let’s get ready for Lumpy. And by “Lumpy,” I mean Coryphishit, not your bits, because that would be gross. Lumpy bits. So, yeah… I’m done. Food? Scene ends.

Sera Cutscene: What Pride Had Wrought

Elfy Shite

Sera Masterpost Related Quest: What Pride Had Wrought

The PC opens the door to Sera’s room in the Herald’s Rest.

Choice dependent dialogue:

PC drank [1]

Morrigan drank, asked Abelas about ancient elves [2]

Morrigan drank, did not ask Abelas about elves [3]

1 - PC drank Sera: Oh, hi, yeah? Listen, stand there. Right there.

She draws her bow and points an arrow at the PC

Sera: Now, about Mythal.

Dialogue options:

Anxious: Put that away! [4]

Angry: I just wanted to talk! [5]

Confused: What should my reaction be? [6]

4 - Anxious: Put that away! PC: Sera, whatever’s wrong, we can talk about it! Sera: Oh, for… ! Don’t piss yourself, I just wanted to make sure it was you in there! [7]

5 - Angry: I just wanted to talk! PC: Don’t aim that in my face, Sera! What is wrong with you! Sera: What’s wrong with me? What’s wrong with you? If that is you. [7]

7 - Scene continues.

Sera puts her bow away.

Sera: I mean, you went wading into a “Well of Sorrows.” Who hears that and thinks, “Well, dunk a butt, let’s have a go!”

Sera: It makes messing with their relics real stupid. So! Test done, you’re still you. We can leave these lies behind. [12]

General: A painful admission for him. [8]

General: You’re gloating? [9]

General: What’s so funny about it? [10]

9 - General: You’re gloating? PC: That’s some “long dead” you’re gloating over. Sera: Pfft, about time I got mine back. Elfy elves have shoved “victim” in my face a million times. [11]

11 - Scene continues.

Sera: Plus, a big, old temple full of demon-worshipping lies. Grand, that. [12]

12 - Dialogue options:

Investigate (PC drank): This threat was a test? [13]

General: You think Mythal was all lies? [14]

General: This was about demon worship? [15]

General: What do you mean? [16]

Dialogue options:

Special: Never again, you hear me? [17] -Sera slightly disapproves

[Back to 12]

17 - Special: Never again, you hear me? PC: You never do that to me again. Sera: Fine, all right. Sorry I don’t know how to deal with rubbish no one was meant to. [back to 12]

14 - General: You think Mythal was all lies? PC: You seem pretty certain. You don’t believe anything from Mythal? Sera: Course not. What, I should believe all that stuff “because elves”? [18]

15 - General: This was about demon worship? PC: So your main takeaway is that elves worshipped demons? Sera: Well, they never call them that, yeah? But that’s what it had to be. [18]

16 - General: What do you mean? PC: Why are you dismissing what happened in Mythal? Sera: Of course. None of it holds up. [18]

18 - Scene continues.

Dialogue options:

Dalish: You’re insulting our heritage [19] -Sera disapproves

General: But what if even some is true? [20] -Sera slightly disapproves

General: I believe it was all true. [21] -Sera slightly disapproves

General: I agree it was all lies. [22] +Sera greatly approves

19 - Dalish: You’re insulting our heritage PC: That’s the legacy of our people you’re insulting! Sera: And? PC: And I’m Dalish and might take exception?

20 - General: But what if even some is true? PC: There’s so much history there. What if some of it is true? Sera: No, now you’re stupid. You can’t think that, because it’s stupid. PC: But everything we saw?

21 - General: I believe it was all true. PC: The evidence is hard to ignore. I believe it. Sera: No, now you’re stupid. You can’t think that, because it’s stupid. PC: But everything we saw?

23 - Scene continues.

Sera: Why believe it? Because Abelas looked weird? If that’s all it takes, Coryphy-shitheel is full of lumpy truth.

Sera: I get it, you’re an elf. Be all elfy. But this… Sera: You’re not even an elf. Why are you being so damned elfy?

Sera: You’re the frigging Herald of Andraste! Every time you open your mouth, you’ll sound like an idiot.

Dialogue options:

General: But it’s important. [24] -Sera greatly disapproves

General (claimed not-chosen): I’ve said I’m not her Herald. [25] -Sera disapproves

General (Andrastian PC): It wouldn’t be the first time. [26] +Sera approves

General: That hasn’t stopped you. [27] +Sera approves

24 - General: But it’s important. PC: People need to understand what this could mean. Sera: No, they don’t. A thousand miles away, all they’ll hear is you won. They won’t care what you mutter to yourself. And neither do I. So there you go. Scene ends. ㅤㅤ ㅤ ㅤ 25 - General: I’ve said I’m not her Herald. PC: It’s not as if it matters what I believe. I’ve already denied being the Herald. Sera: Not for me to say, yeah? Just saying. Anyways, believe what you want. So long as we kill Coryphifish. Whatever. Scene ends. ㅤㅤ ㅤ ㅤ 26 - General: It wouldn’t be the first time. PC: The Inquisition is probably used to me sounding like an idiot. Sera: Not for me to say, yeah? Just saying. Anyway, believe what you want. So long as we kill Coryphifish. Whatever. Scene ends. ㅤㅤ ㅤ ㅤ 27 - General: That hasn’t stopped you. PC: Well, it works for you, so I’m in good company. Sera: Words are dumb. Haven’t had an argument yet I can’t end with arrows. Let me know when you want me to “discuss it” with Coryphy-shit. Scene ends.

22 - General: I agree it was all lies. PC: I’m with you, everything in that temple was highly suspect. Sera: Of course it was. You couldn’t be Herald and think otherwise, yeah? I mean, that would just be daft. So, main takeaway: we got really weird power, and we can throw it at Coryphy-whatever. Fighting shite with shite. It’s like poetry or something. I don’t know. Get a bard on that. We should go slap hands in the tavern. Scene ends.

Dorian Cutscene: What Pride Had Wrought

Once This is Done

Dorian Masterpost Related Quest: What Pride Had Wrought The PC finds Dorian in the library.

Dorian: What happened at the elven temple… it’s got me thinking. I should go back, shouldn’t I? To Tevinter. Once this is done… if we’re still alive.

Dorian stands.

Dorian: All my talk of how terribly wrong things are back home, but what do I do about it? Nothing.

1 - Dialogue options:

Investigate: What brought this on? [2]

Special (low approval): Doing nothing as usual. [3]

Romance (relationship not locked-in): I was hoping you’d stay. [4]

Romance (relationship locked-in): What about us? [5]

General: You came here to help. [6] +Dorian slightly approves (low/neutral approval) +Dorian approves (high approval)

General: You could do great things. [7] +Dorian slightly approves (low/neutral approval) +Dorian approves (high approval)

General: Just go, then. [8] -Dorian slightly disapproves

2 - Investigate: What brought this on?

Dorian (Dorian went to the temple, PC asked about asked about ancient elves): That elf, Abelas. He said the Imperium wasn’t what destroyed the elves. My people would never accept that. It would reduce us to scavengers, destroy our legacy no matter how terrible. But we should accept it, take our history down a peg, confront the legacy hanging over us like a shroud. Maybe not all of us want to, but that could be altered. If you can change minds, so can I. [back to 1]

Dorian (Dorian went to temple, PC did not ask about ancient elves): It was history, right there, staring us in the face. Maybe my people can atone for what we’ve done. There is something still left to restore. Maybe not all of us want to, but that could be altered. If you can change minds, so can I. [back to 1]

Dorian (Dorian did not go to the temple): You encountered ancient elves. A piece of history, something the Imperium didn’t destroy. Maybe my people can atone for what we’ve done. There is something still left to restore. Maybe not all of us want to, but that could be altered. If you can change minds, so can I. [back to 1]

3 - Special: Doing nothing as usual. PC: Of course you do nothing. That’s typical, isn’t it? Dorian: That’s what I intend to change.

4 - Romance: I was hoping you’d stay. PC: You wouldn’t consider staying? With me? Dorian: Of course I would consider it. [9]

5 - Romance: What about us? Dorian: Us? Trust me, amatus, it would give me no pleasure to leave your side. You make monumental decisions affecting the entire world. How can I not consider some of my own?

9 - Dialogue options:

General: I could go with you. [10] +Dorian approves

General: I need you here. [11]

General: I understand, if you must go. [12]

10 - General: I could go with you. PC: Why don’t I go with you? Dorian: Take you away from all this? I can’t ask that of you. PC: You don’t have to ask. I’m offering. Dorian: Tempting. We both know you would end up doing it all yourself. As much as watching my homeland beaten into submission would amuse me, this is something I need to do. [back to 9] ㅤㅤ ㅤ 11 - General: I need you here. PC (relationship locked-in): I need you at my side. Now more than ever. Dorian: Emotional blackmail is a fine thing to pull out of your arsenal. PC: But I didn’t… Dorian: (Laughs.) I’m joking. I’ll think about it. Closely. [13] ㅤㅤ ㅤ PC (relationship not locked-in): To face what’s coming next, I need people at my side I trust. I need you. Dorian: I’ll… consider it. Carefully, I promise. [13] ㅤㅤ ㅤ 12 - General: I understand, if you must go. PC: If… that’s what you have to do, I understand. Dorian (relationship locked-in): There you go, breaking my heart. [13] Dorian (relationship not locked-in): (Sighs.) That’s a relief. [13] ㅤㅤ ㅤ 13 - Scene continues. ㅤㅤ ㅤ Dorian: This is your fault, remember. You inspired me with your marvelous antics.

6 - General: You came here to help. PC: You’re not doing nothing, Dorian. You came here. You’re fighting with us. Dorian: Thank you for saying that. I want to do more than stop Corypheus, however. I want to save my home. It might surprise you to know that you’re the one who inspired me. [14]

7 - General: You could do great things. PC: Someone with your impeccable taste could transform Tevinter. Dorian: I hope you’re right. You usually are. It might surprise you to know that you’re the one who inspired me. It might surprise you to know that you’re the one who inspired me. [14]

8 - General: Just go, then. PC: If that’s what you want to do, then go.

Dorian (romanced): Hmm. I thought you’d care more, honestly. Dorian (high approval): It would bring me no pleasure to leave, but I must. Dorian: No, I didn’t think it mattered to you.

Dorian: It might surprise you to know that you’re the one who inspired me. [14]

14 - Scene continues.

Dorian: You’re shaping the world… for good or ill. How could I aspire to do any less? If it means proving that Tevinter can be better, that there’s hope even for my homeland? I would do anything.

Cole Cutscene: What Pride Had Wrought

Died and Then Didn't

Cole Masterpost Related Quest: What Pride Had Wrought

The PC finds Cole on the ramparts at night.

Cole: Corypheus died, and then he didn’t. That’s why he always felt wrong, like he didn’t fit inside himself. He wears another man’s life. I thought dying was forever.

Dialogue options:

General: It’s confusing. PC: It’s hard for any of us to make sense of. Corypheus is using ancient magic. ㅤㅤ ㅤ

General: You and me both. PC: So did I. Corypheus seems to break a lot of rules. ㅤㅤ ㅤ

General: We’ll kill him. PC: We’ll make it forever. We’re working on a plan to kill Corypheus permanently.

Cole (have not found amulet for Cole): We still need the amulet, the one Solas talked about. I can’t fight Corypheus without it. I won’t. Cole (amulet found, personal quest not completed): We still need to get the amulet working. I won’t face Corypheus without it. I can’t.

Cole: But is it him? Is he real? If a man can be dead and then not…

Cole (personal quest completed): Could I have saved the real Cole? Cole (personal quest not completed): There was a young man. He died alone. I didn’t know how to help. Could I have saved him?

Dialogue options:

General: You did all you could. PC: What happened to him wasn’t your fault. ㅤㅤ ㅤ

General: I don’t know. PC: I have no idea. I’m sorry. I hardly understand any of this myself. ㅤㅤ ㅤ

General: No. PC: Corypheus is using his connection to the blight to make himself immortal. You couldn’t do that.

Choice dependent dialogue:

Cole became more human[1]

Cole becomes more spirit [2]

Cole’s quest not completed [3]

1 - Cole became more human: Cole: His hands were bruised from beating on the wall. It was dark like the cabinet where he hid to escape his father. His belly hurt like knives, throat cracked dry. He was alone. I pushed through and held his hand. It was all I could do. He said, “Thank you.” Cole: Thank you. Scene ends.

2 - Cole becomes more spirit: Cole: It gnawed at me, hooks in the hollows, pain of not knowing like the knot in his belly. But that is a hurt, and hurts can heal. I can heal.

Cole: Forget. PC: Cole? Cole, are you… Cole: You may still use that name, if you like. I am here to help you. Scene ends.

3 - Cole’s quest not completed: Cole: I get heavy when I think of him. It pushes me down, holds me here. It would hurt less to forget.

Dialogue options:

General: Then do that. [4]

General: You need to remember. [5]

4 - General: Then do that. PC: If it helps you, Cole, let it go. Cole: Forget. Forget! PC: Cole? Cole: It’s still here. I’m still here. For a while, anyway. Scene ends.

5 - General: You need to remember. PC: That feeling is part of what makes you who you are. Don’t forget that. Cole: Heels of the hands brushed from beating on the wall. Dark like the cabinet where I hid from Father before the bad day. I will remember. Scene ends.

Cassandra Cutscene: What Pride Had Wrought

What Comes Next

Cassandra Masterpost Related Quest: What Pride Had Wrought

The PC finds Cassandra on the battlements.

Cassandra: Victory in the Arbor Wilds. The Archdemon might have been a real threat to our army, but it flew off once we turned the tide. It is still out there, however. I wonder what Corypheus plans now.

Dialogue options:

General: If he returns, we’ll face him. PC: We’ll deal with whatever he throws at us. ㅤㅤ ㅤ

General: He’ll run and hide? PC: He’ll hide. What other choice does he have? ㅤㅤ ㅤ

General: He’s lost everything. PC: He has nothing left to throw at us.

Cassandra: Do not underestimate Corypheus. He is powerful, and you have yet to fight him one-on-one. But he will come. You will get your chance.

Dialogue options:

Flirt: We’ll fight together. [1]

General: You aren’t worried? [2]

General: You’re probably right. [3]

3 - General: You’re probably right. PC: It wouldn’t be any fun if all this was over so soon. Cassandra: Corypheus believes himself a god. Pride alone demands he not slink off into the shadows. I have faith you will be victorious even so.

4 - General: I look forward to it. PC: If he tries, he’ll regret it. Cassandra (low approval): He underestimates you, as most do. Cassandra (high/neutral approval): I believe you.

5 - Scene continues.

Cassandra: The time has come to consider what will come next.

Flirt: So long as we’re together. [6] Special (after low approval scene): I assume you’ll leave. [7] General: You’ll be Divine? [8] General: Don’t jinx it. [9] General: I have plans. [10]

6 - Flirt: So long as we’re together. PC: I don’t care what’s next, as long as we’re together. Cassandra: And if I am named Divine? [11]

7 - Special: I assume you’ll leave. PC: I assume you’ll be leaving, then. Cassandra: You caught me in a poor moment before. I do not drink. PC: It sounded like you spoke your mind. Cassandra: We all have moments of doubt. [15]

8 - General: You’ll be Divine? PC: You’ll be the next Divine, I assume.

Cassandra (romanced): If so, then what of us?

11 - Dialogue options:

General: Refuse it. [12]

General: That changes nothing. [13]

General: Then so be it. [14]

12 - General: Refuse it. PC: I won’t lose you to the Chantry. Cassandra: You haven’t lost me yet. They kiss. Scene ends. ㅤㅤ ㅤ 13 - General: That changes nothing. PC: We can still be together. Cassandra: Can we? I’m not so certain. You haven’t lost me yet. They kiss. Scene ends. ㅤㅤ ㅤ 14 - General: Then so be it. PC: Then you’re Divine. Cassandra: It hasn’t happened yet. They kiss. Scene ends.

Cassandra: That has not happened yet. PC: But it may. Cassandra: If the Maker wills it, then yes—I will answer His call. [15]

9 - General: Don’t jinx it. PC: We still have to beat Corypheus. Cassandra: I have not forgotten. [15]

10 - General: I have plans. PC: Oh, I have plans of my own. Cassandra (low approval): Of that I have no doubt. Cassandra (high/neutral approval): As you should. [15]

15 - Scene continues.

Cassandra: “Blessed are they who stand before the corrupt and the wicked and do not falter.”

Cassandra (low approval): Your strength got us here, Inquisitor. I shall not forget. Cassandra (high approval): You have come far, my friend. It has been an honor. Cassandra (neutral approval): I will stand with you in the end, Inquisitor. If you will have me.
