  • “A difficult time for everyone.” - Slightly Approves
  • “Seeing is believing.” - Slightly Disapproves
  • “All I know is we lost people.” - Slightly Approves

  • “I believe it was all true.” - Slightly Disapproves
  • “I agree it was all lies.” - Greatly Approves

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

  • “For you, anything.” - Greatly Approves (Contunues Romance)

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.

  • “Let’s both shut up. You first.” - Greatly Approves (Continues Romance)
  • “Too far, Sera. We’re done.” - Greatly Disapproves (Ends Romance)

Prompted Dialogue

What’s going on with your face?

  • “I don’t want to talk about it.” - Slightly Disapproves
  • “Solas explained what they are.” - N/A

Nobody knows anything about “real elves” except they’re gone.

  • “I agree, it’s pretty stupid.” - Approves

Choosing a Specialization

Mage

You shouldn’t be scary. You’re the Inquisitor.

  • “I would never disappoint you.” - Romance
    • Female human or elf Inquisitor - Slightly Approves
    • Female qunari Inquisitor - Approves
    • Male Inquisitor - N/A

Champion

Covered it, right? Don’t be a shit like a chav-alierer. You’re better than that.

  • “Good to know.” - N/A
  • “So you’re also killers?” - N/A

Free payday. And free blame, right? But, whatever.

  • “Well, as long as it works.” - Slightly Approves
  • “I still don’t get it.” - Slightly Disapproves
  • “Sounds like a con.” - Slightly Disapproves

It’s inspiring. Even if it sometimes goes tits up and they take a hit back. You know, like Haven?

  • “I’m Herald. You’re a thief.” - Slightly Disapproves
  • “That’s actually a fair point.” - Slightly Approves
  • “You believe weird things.” - Slightly Disapproves

Why did you really join me?

What do you mean? To help people.

  • “Seems like there’s more to it.” - Slightly Approves
  • “Are you really sure of that?” - N/A
  • “I don’t believe you.” - Slightly Disapproves

##Ready to talk about yourself?

They didn’t give two squirts about who or what you were. It was all what you did.

  • “Thanks for trusting me.” - Slightly Approves
  • “I get why you’re an odd elf.” - N/A
    • “Then that’s all I need. - Slightly Approves
    • “We all represent our kind.” - N/A
    • “All right, I’ll drop it.” - N/A
