"Anyhow, whenever you're ready let's head back to Duncan. I imagine he's eager to get things started." These phrases will also lead you back to the beginning of the tree ''I never would have agreed to deliver it, but Duncan says we're all to cooperate and get along. Apparently, they didn't get the same speech.'' Don't worry; I'll try not to embarrass you. ''That makes things easy, then. They'll both be back with Duncan by now.''

 * 2) I asked you first. (Repeats Branch, without current phrase)
 * Yes, I did.
 * Yes, though perhaps not in the way that I did. (May not appear.)

Prior to battle
This conversation is with Duncan & Alistair, after the strategy meeting.


 * 1) So he needs two Grey Wardens standing up there holding the torch. Just in case, right?
 * 2) *I'm ready to go.
 * 3) *Where is this Tower of Ishal, exactly?
 * 4) *I agree with Alistair. We should be in the battle. (to 2)
 * 5) *Stop your whining. We have an important job. (to 2)
 * 6) *The last time I got sidelined like this, I ended up exiled. (Dwarf Noble only; to 2)
 * 7) I get it. I get it. Just so you know, if the king ever asks me to put on a dress and dance the Remigold, I'm drawing the line. Darkspawn or no.
 * 8) *Way to take a stand, Alistair.
 * 9) *I think I'd like to see that. (Female Wardens only)
 * 10) **For you? Maybe, but it would have to be a pretty dress (answer to above)
 * 11) *You have some odd ideas about the king.
 * 12) *I don't know. That could be a great distraction.

Deep in the Wilds
'''Alistair: You... You're alive. I thought you were dead for sure.'''
 * Select any one of the four options
 * Who cares what she is? We need to do something now.
 * Then we need to find this archdemon.
 * Perhaps we should go to him, then.
 * What about those treaties Flemeth gave us.
 * Why not? Isn't that what Grey Wardens do?
 * Yes. Thank you for everything, Flemeth.
 * Thank you, but if Morrigan doesn't wish to join us...
 * Very well, we'll take her with us.
 * She won't come to any harm with us. (Morrigan approves)
 * I think we should just get underway. (Alistair approves)


 * Alistair is the real Grey Warden here, not me. (only appears once)
 * Oh, pull it together, will you?

Idle Conversation

 * 4) He was a good man.

So you said this Arl Eamon raised you? (Unlocks the 'Remaining a Templar' question and a codex entry.)


 * 1) That's not what I remember you telling Flemeth.
 * 2) That would explain the smell.
 * 3) So does a horde of darkspawn, I'm told.
 * 4) I thought the Chantry would have beaten that out of you.
 * 5) Uh-huh. Slobbering dogs. I see.
 * 6) That would explain the breath as well, then.

 * 1) Why did he send you off to the Chantry?
 * 2) He wasn't your father? So you know who is?
 * 3) But you blamed him then, I take it?


 * 1) You were probably luckier than most orphans.
 * 2) Wasn't it in appropriate for the arl to raise an orphan?
 * 3) What an awful thing to do to a child.
 * 4) That sounds like a bunch of whining.


 * 1) And you think the arl will help us?
 * 2) Are you sure he isn't your father?
 * 3) You were young.

Can you teach others to be a Templar?
 * 1) Very well, I'll respect your word.
 * 2) You don't think this is important?
 * 3) And what if I ordered you to do it?

Do you want to talk about Duncan?
 * 1) I just thought you might need to talk.
 * 2) That doesn't mean I don't mourn his loss.
 * 3) He was like a father to you. I understand.

 * 1) No harm done, Alistair.
 * 2) There's no need to apologize.
 * 3) Yes, well, let's forget about it.  (Exits the conversation)
 * 4) Just don't let it happen again.  (Exits the conversation)


 * 1) What about the other Grey Wardens?
 * 2) He had you.
 * 3) No, I understand completely.
 * 4) He saved your life by sending you to the tower.
 * 5) Yes, that is stupid. You'd be dead.
 * 6) That's an excellent idea.
 * 7) I doubt you'll get the chance.  (Exits the conversation)

Dwarf:
 * 1) We entomb our dead within the stone beneath our thaigs.
 * 2) No stranger than burning your honored dead to ashes.
 * 3) Don't be so ignorant. Those are our customs.  (Exits the conversation)

 * 1) Anytime, Alistair.
 * 2) Maybe I'll go to Highever with you, when you go.
 * 3) He was a friend of mine, too.
 * 4) Let's get going.

Why have you remained a templar if you hate the chantry?
 * 1) I thought Templars wore heavy plate, mostly.
 * 2) There's a uniform? Where's mine, then? (Templars only)
 * 3) In that case, you should have become a mage. (Mage only)
 * 4) Oh? I don't think I've ever seen you wearing it.
 * 5) Not this again. Can't you answer a simple question?


 * 1) And what's the real reason?
 * 2) You had lots of these pillow fights, I take it? (Available only when PC replies 'I thought Templars wore heavy plate, mostly.')
 * 3) So you stay a templar out of sentiment? (Available only when PC replies 'Oh? I don't think I've ever seen you wearing it.' )
 * 4) So you earned your templar-hood, then? (Available only when PC replies 'There's a uniform? Where's mine, then?')
 * 5) Seems like that might happen anyway.(Available only when PC replies 'In that case, you should have become a mage.' )
 * 6) So this is where you deflect questions with humor, right?
 * 7) Do all Templars make these jokes? Or just you?


 * 1) I do really want to know, yes.
 * 2) Then make up something more exciting.
 * 3) You don't have to tell me, then. I was just curious.  (Exits conversation UNLESS approval is high/friendly(?) and then continues on)
 * 4) Not if it's going to lead to more of your stupid jokes, no.  (Exits the conversation)


 * 1) What did you enjoy about the training?
 * 2) Enjoyed hunting mages, did you?
 * 3) I think I understand.


 * 1) Not any more, no.
 * 2) My home was taken over by Arl Howe. (Human Noble)
 * 3) Anywhere my clan goes is my home. (Dalish Elf)
 * 4) The alienage in Denerim. My family lives there. (City Elf)
 * 5) The Circle of Magi's tower was my home for a long time. (Mage)
 * 6) Orzammar is my home. I miss it. (Dwarf)
 * 7) I guess my home is with the Grey Wardens now. With you.  (Female only)
 * 8) Home is wherever camp is. We're travelers now.


 * 1) That's assuming we even survive.
 * 2) They can be rebuilt.
 * 3) You can always keep traveling.
 * 4) This is not the time to think about it.

Redcliffe

 * What's on your mind?
 * I'm not going to like this, am I?
 * Let me guess: You're an idiot.
 * Ha! That sounds suspiciously like sarcasm. (Female version, same disapproval: "You're cute when you're sarcastic."  Romance is NOT initiated)
 * It wasn't exactly a secret.
 * Spit it out, then.
 * Can't it wait?
 * You guess so?
 * Spit it out, then
 * I'm not going to like this, am I?
 * Then tell me later. (End Conversation)
 * I'm not going to like this, am I?
 * Then tell me later. (End Conversation)


 * What?! You don't think you might have told me this before?
 * So... you're not just a bastard, but a royal bastard?
 * Doesn't that make you heir to the throne?
 * Why did you wait to tell me this?


 * I think I understand.
 * I can't believe you were so stupid!
 * You still should have told me.
 * Does Loghain know?


 * Are you sure? You're not hiding anything else?
 * So I should be calling you Prince Alistair?
 * You're a prince. Somehow I find that very... thrilling. (Female Only - initiates romance)
 * You're the heir to the throne, then?
 * Why tell me, then? Why do I need to know?
 * We can use this to our advantage, actually.


 * Aren't you?
 * As you command... my prince.
 * That's not really what you think, is it?
 * You're here with me. I think I'm the lucky one. (Female Only - initiates romance. If you're at 100 Warm with him, this can kick you straight to Love.)
 * And what does that make me?

(After visiting Redcliffe and hearing the above dialogue) Why did you keep your birthright a secret?


 * 1) That's a cheap answer.
 * 2) Do you want to make me more angry?
 * 3) It's because we don't get along. (Hostile approval)
 * 4) Did you not trust me? I thought we were friends. (Friendly approval)
 * 5) *I'm hurt that you didn't trust me. (Romance Initiated only) {
 * 6) Don't answer, then.
 * 7) It's come up, Alistair. You've been avoiding it.
 * 8) How about, "By the way, I'm the heir to the throne?"
 * 9) I guess I can understand that.
 * 10) Why? What happens when people find out?
 * 11) You... enjoyed not telling me?
 * 12) You think it was dangerous not to?
 * 13) You probably don't have a choice in the matter.
 * 14) It doesn't sound stupid at all.
 * 15) Don't want to be king? Why not!?
 * 16) That sounds incredibly whiny, Alistair.
 * 17) Apology accepted.
 * 18) Yes, it was. Incredibly dumb.
 * 19) *I liked you. Now I don't even know who you are.
 * 20) Don't worry about it, Alistair. No harm done.


 * Alternate (Female PC Warm)
 * Apology accepted.
 * "Like you for who you are?" You're kidding right?
 * I do like you, and not because of your blood.
 * Don't worry about it, Alistair. No harm done.

Upon completing Castle Redcliffe, if Connor or Isolde dies Alistair picks a fight blaming you. Even a gentle path gets a minimum

Romantic conversations started by the warden or Alistair after certain ratings or events:

After approval rating is above 90, with the personal quest complete (i.e. status is at 'love'). Chances are you will have already slept with him.

The conversation will be different if he's hardened. If he's been hardened, only the last option ("I wasn't looking for a commitment") will net a negative approval.


 * I'd like to discuss something private
 * Where do you see this going between us?
 * If we care about each other that's all that matters.
 * I don't know that there is a future for us, actually.
 * I'll take what I can get. (No change)
 * This was fun. Let's not make it something it's not. (No change? )
 * There isn't. Let's end this now. (No change? Ditto above)
 * I don't want to just give up, Alistair. (No change?)
 * I won't let you go, Alistair. No matter what. (No change?)
 * I wasn't looking for a commitment, you know.

After approval rating is high enough to initial the sex conversation without immediate dismissal. (80?)
 * I'd like to discuss something private.
 * So how would you like to join me in my tent?
 * If you don't want to...
 * You need to relax, Alistair. (No change)
 * I think this is as right as it gets. (No change)
 * Would you rather we waited?
 * Just follow my lead, Alistair. (No change)
 * Let's forget about it for now.
 * Yes, I'm willing. (Laughs)
 * That so? (No change)
 * It could still happen. (No change)
 * Not for that performance.
 * Let them talk. I don't care (+0?)
 * Why? Are you going to tell them (+0?)
 * First smart comment and I feed them to the darkspawn.
 * I really don't know. (+0?)
 * We have a darkspawn horde to defeat. (+0?)
 * You're going to become king. (+0?)
 * Why should we go anywhere? (+0?)
 * We stay together, no matter what happens.
 * Just get moving.
 * You don't need to thank me (-1?)
 * I feel the same way. ( (total)
 * "Give it a shot?" You weren't wrong about the idiot part.
 * Forget it, Alistair. I need a real man.
 * Then forget it. I can't be bothered.
 * Yes. Do I need to repeat myself? (No change)
 * You seem a little... nervous. (No change)

Alistair will approach a female warden in camp after his approval rating is at "Love" for the first time and begin, "All right. I guess I really don't know how to ask you this."
 * Ask me what?
 * Are you sweating?
 * Oh? Thanks a lot.
 * Pull yourself together, will you?
 * That's very sweet.
 * I feel the same way.
 * Even though I'm not human like you? (Elf/dwarf only)
 * I... don't feel the same way. I'm sorry.
 * Must you be so sentimental?
 * But you're going to be king.
 * No, of course not.
 * It's either now or later, isn't it?
 * We don't know for sure what will happen.
 * I feel the same way.
 * Is this very important?

Alistair: “So let me ask you something. A personal question.”
 * 1) What kind of personal question?
 * 2) Why are you asking?
 * 3) I suppose we have.
 * 4) You aren’t jealous, are you?
 * 5) It might by. I haven’t decided yet.
 * Yes, it is serious. I love him/her.
 * 1) It’s none of your business, is it?
 * No, it’s not serious. I just enjoy Zevran/Leliana’s company.

 * 2) I don’t know. It’s too soon to say.
 * 3) You think I could care for a human man?
 * 4) I think I already do.
 * 5) No, not really. I liked it.
 * 6) Yes, definitely too soon for that.
 * 7) I don’t know. I need more testing to be sure.
 * 8) Don’t make me decide between you, Alistair.
 * 9) You’re not leading him/her on.
 * 10) You’re right, My decision has been made. I choose you.
 * 11) I’m not going to lose him/her. I’m sorry.
 * 12) I’m sorry Alistair. I don’t think so.
