Sera/Approval

Sera's Disposition
The player can tell generally how Sera feels about the Inquisitor by engaging her in a "generic" conversation (i.e. a conversation where her greeting and farewell are not changed by any other factors such as a quest or cutscene).


 * Hostile (-30 to -75):
 * Sera will greet the Inquisitor with "Piss up a rope." or "Frigging what? or "What, then?"
 * Sera will bid the Inquisitor farewell with "Go on."


 * Cold (-5 to -29):
 * Sera will greet the Inquisitor with "Uh-huh?" or "Well, you're here." or "Something you want?"
 * Sera will bid the Inquisitor farewell with "Go on."


 * Neutral (-5 to 34):
 * Sera will greet the Inquisitor in one of the following ways:
 * "Sitting and waiting. Great, yeah?"
 * "Her Gracious Ladybits." (female Inquisitor only)
 * "Ser Lordybloomers." (male Inquisitor only)
 * "Your wish is something something."
 * Hey, it's you again.
 * Sera will bid the Inquisitor farewell with "Go on."


 * Warm/Friendly (35 to 125):
 * Sera may use one of the "Neutral" set of greetings, but is more likely to use one of the following:
 * "Can't wait, what's on?"
 * "Back, yeah? Always good."
 * "Love seeing you, yeah?"
 * "There's you, yes?"
 * Sera will bid the Inquisitor farewell with "Go on."

I thought it'd be bigger.
Haven only, first attempt to speak to her...
 * Another reason the templars and mages need to be sat down.
 * No approval changes


 * They're too busy to look up where the real questions are.
 * We'll help them all see.
 * You think it should be easy. (changes next line & romance option) -
 * What questions are those?


 * Sound good to you, all touched Lady Herald? / I think I'll like you, Lady Herald. Maybe you are a little touched, yeah?


 * (Romance) I think I'll like you too. - No approval change (Male Inquisitor)
 * (Romance) You staying sounds very good. / I think I'll like you too. -  ( for Dwarf or Qunari Inquisitor)
 * We'll succeed. We have to. -
 * Sounds good to me. -
 * I only care about stopping it. -

What'd I step in?
Available immediately upon reaching Skyhold if not recruited before Skyhold or if recruited but not spoken to in Haven


 * Andraste, what'd I step in?


 * I didn't expect it either.
 * Andraste? Not an elven god? (Elf only) -
 * If she answers, let me know. (Non-elf only)
 * You knew this'd be strange.


 * Varies depending on previous choice, but next choices are always the same.
 * No approval changes


 * It's too far, innit? I just want to plug the skyhole rubbish so I can go play. (will be different if she was flirted with at some point)
 * Q Do you believe or not?
 * (Romance) Thanks for the "pretty" part. (only shows up if she was flirted with at some point)
 * I need hope, not selfishness. -
 * Pick whatever cause you want.
 * I need doubters like you. -


 * Varies depending on previous choice, but next choices are always the same
 * (Romance) I hope there's more you want. - ( for Qunari Inquisitor)
 * Faith may decide much of this.
 * Just follow orders, crazy.
 * That almost makes sense.

Pranks
Skyhold, requires +35 Sera's tarot card changes to its alternate after this scene
 * I'm thinking pranks. Set a few up. Knock a few down. You in or not?
 * No approval changes


 * Pissed off and fired up is better than dreary bleary. Come on!
 * (Romance) Time with you sounds like fun. - ( for Qunari or Dwarf Inquisitor)
 * No, grow up. (end) -
 * Yes, I'm in. -
 * You go ahead without me. (end)


 * What, the desk? Oh yes! Center of the empire and all that. What to do, what to do...
 * Great, so what do we do? -
 * I won't diminish my general. -


 * What, just the door? Where she greets every important idiot! Yes!
 * All right, what do we do? -
 * I can't mock my diplomat. -


 * Solas: Who is up there?
 * Run! -
 * It's the Inquisitor and Sera. -


 * Sera's next line of dialogue and the choices on the wheel both vary based on whether you carried out at least one of the pranks above.


 * I should appear respectable.


 * Anything to keep us inspired. (appears only if you did at least one of the three pranks) -
 * It's just not me. (appears only if you did NOT do any of the pranks)
 * You don't make a lot of sense.

Ugh, that place.
Skyhold, after Wicked Eyes and Wicked Hearts...


 * And Coryphefuss, right in the dangle-bag!
 * No approval changes


 * Ugh, that place. Should have just thrown in some bees and slammed the doors.


 * We made important decisions.


 * Earwigs. That'd stop a ball. -
 * That wouldn't have helped.


 * That and Briala being an idiot. The whole thing would've gone different if that little piss-up wasn't in the middle.
 * It's not that simple. -
 * The empress was right. / But Briala is in charge now. / Gaspard put an end to that. -
 * Their mistakes made it worse. -

After Here Lies the Abyss

 * Heard what went on in that Fade thing. What you think went on. Can't even start to believe that business.
 * A difficult time for everyone. -
 * Seeing is believing. -
 * All I know is we lost people. -


 * They're the good thing that means a bad thing is about to happen. Like in Denerim, when the Blight ended.
 * What do you remember?/What was the Blight like? -
 * That's called planning ahead. -
 * I only care if they're useful. -

Inquisition cookies

 * I like you, but not cookies. (leads to 'Anyway')

 * It wouldn't be the first time. -
 * That hasn't stopped you. -

 * I'm an elf. I can't look away. (relationship ends)
 * For you, anything. (relationship continues)
