Blackwall/Approval

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


 * Cold/Hostile (-5 to -75):
 * Blackwall will greet the Inquisitor with "What is it? or "What do you want?" or "(Grunts.)"


 * Neutral/Warm/Friendly (-4 to 125):
 * Blackwall will greet the Inquisitor with "At your service." or "Yes?" or "Something on your mind?" or "I'm here."
 * "At your service."
 * "Yes?"
 * "Something on your mind?"
 * "Inquisitor?"
 * "I'm here."

If romanced, he might also say:
 * "I am here."
 * "My lady."
