Hawke/Dialogue

Hawke's dialogue contains a list of the conversations that Hawke shares with his/her companions, in which they discuss each other's backgrounds, and their reactions to the game's events. Hawke's dialogue is unique in that it can change based on what point in the game it is, friendship or rivalry, personality and whether or not Hawke is in an active romance with that character. Hawke does not participate in most of the party banter in Dragon Age II, but does so in subsequent DLC. =Dragon Age II=

Group Dialog
These can contain conversations between two or more companions in which Hawke also speaks.

Hawke/Isabela/Companion
ACT I
 * Anders: I keep thinking I know you from somewhere...
 * Isabela: You're Fereldan, right? Ever spend time at the Pearl?
 * Anders: That's it!
 * Anders: You used to really like that girl with the griffin tattoos, right? What was her name?
 * Isabela: The Lay Warden?
 * Anders: That's right! I think you were there the night I—
 * Isabela: Oh! Were you the runaway mage who could do that electricity thing?  That was nice...
 * Hawke: Please stop talking. Now.

During The Long Road. Isabela must be in the party when you speak to Aveline after posting the duty roster, and choose, "You've been alone this long?" (Isabela approaches Aveline) (they get in each other's face) (Hawke steps in)
 * Hawke: So you've been by yourself since we came to Kirkwall?
 * Isabela: Wait, you've gone four years without? You must creak like a rusty hinge.
 * Aveline: Many people have their lives because of me.
 * Isabela: But poor you, no life of your own.
 * Aveline: We both place others above ourselves. I happen to do it clothed.
 * Isabela: You're splitting hairs, but wishing someone would split yours.
 * Aveline: I've had enough of your loose lips. Like many, I'm sure.
 * Isabela: Oh, touché. Prig!
 * Aveline: Slattern!
 * Hawke: If I might put this back on track.

The last line depends on who else is in the party:
 * Isabela: So, Donnic was in the Rose.
 * Aveline: He was not!
 * Isabela: Easy, big girl. He wasn't shopping for himself. You're lucky to have a man who wants to please you.
 * Isabela: But, maybe you could indulge him more. Are there areas of intimacy you haven't explored?
 * Aveline: Why? Why do you give me these doubts!
 * Isabela: Aveline. If you shove your thumb up his ass, I win.
 * Anders: Just... no.
 * Fenris: (laughs)
 * Merrill: Ew!
 * Varric: Ah, that old chestnut.
 * Sebastian: Ugh. Maker.
 * Hawke: (Coughs)

During Champions and Captains, and you choose "How was the honeymoon?"
 * Hawke: You never said how your three weeks in Orlais went.
 * Aveline: You're right. I didn't.
 * Isabela: Ohh. Shivery.

If Hawke hasn't accepted Isabela's love yet
 * Merrill: I think Hawke likes you, Isabela.
 * Isabela: You think so, do you?
 * Merrill: S/he looks at you all the time, and then s/he looks embarrassed and pretends s/he's busy with something else.
 * Hawke: I can hear you, you know.
 * Merrill: (Giggles) See?
 * Isabela: Hmm. I'll have to think about that...

ACT I Next line is dependent on third party member
 * Varric: I shit you not, Rivaini, it was this big.
 * Isabela: There's no way. Impossible!  I've had hundreds of those in my hands, and they're never that size.
 * Varric: Would I lie about something so critical?
 * Anders: I can't stand it anymore—what are you two talking about?
 * Aveline: I'm afraid to ask, but... what are you two going on about?
 * Carver: What is wrong with you two? Can't you ever have a conversation that isn't dirty?
 * Hawke: What are you two talking about?
 * Varric: We're discussing knives, of course. Well, daggers, technically.  I never remember the difference.
 * Varric: Why? What did you think we were talking about?

If in a romance with Isabela If not in a romance with Isabela
 * Zevran: *laughs* Still blunt as a dwarven hammer, hmmm? Well, why not!
 * Hawke: Um, hello? I'm standing right here.
 * Isabela: What? You can come too.
 * Zevran: Indeed! The more the merrier!
 * Hawke: Let's find someplace quieter.
 * Zevran: Ah, Isabela. I did so miss you.
 * Isabela: That's because you're a piss-poor shot. Thankfully, you have other uses.

If in a romance with Isabela If not in a romance with Isabela The last line depends on party members:
 * Zevran: My dear Isabela, it has been a delight to see you again. You travel in fine company.
 * Isabela: That's it? You're leaving? What about sex?
 * Zevran: *laughs* Still blunt as a dwarven hammer, hmmm? Well, why not!
 * Hawke: Um, hello? I'm standing right here.
 * Isabela: What? You can come too.
 * Zevran: Indeed! The more the merrier!
 * Hawke: Let's find someplace quieter.
 * Zevran: Ah, Isabela. I did so miss you.
 * Isabela: That's because you're a piss-poor shot. Thankfully, you have other uses.
 * Aveline: I think I just threw up a little in my mouth.
 * Merrill: Ew.
 * Anders: Ha!
 * Fenris: Are we sure he was part of a guild of assassins?
 * Varric: That girl has curious standards.

Hawke/Aveline/Companion
When talking to Aveline during A Friend in the Guard and ask, "Do you miss being a soldier?"
 * Hawke: This must be a very different pace from serving King Cailan.
 * Aveline: It's just one more change, though. The real end for me was Ostagar.
 * Aveline: What about you Carver? You were there. Do you feel something similar?
 * Carver: No.
 * Aveline: All right, then.
 * Aveline: Bit of a tit, your brother.

During The Long Road (Note: Fenris's dialogue contributions will be trumped by those of Isabela and Varric)  In Aveline's office, part 3 Hawke raises a very perplexed eyebrow. ''Part of same conversation, when Hawke asks about Aveline's difficulty with expressing her affections. Must have active romance with Fenris and not currently involved with someone else.''
 * Aveline: (Sighs) All right, I can fix this. I need... I need three goats and a sheaf of wheat. You'll take them to his mother. (To Hawke)
 * Aveline: It's a dowry tradition. Maybe it will smooth the process.
 * Fenris: A dowry? Then... this isn't about accusations.
 * Aveline: No, it's not.
 * Fenris: She's courting the man. With a fear reserved for dragons.
 * Aveline: What about you and Fenris? How do you deal with the danger of your lives?
 * (If Fenris is in party) Fenris appears to look at Hawke, who pauses and glances down before answering.
 * (If Fenris is not in party) Hawke uses slightly lighter tone without pausing.

Ending part of same conversation, when Hawke decides to continue helping Aveline but asks her what she wants to do instead of providing a direct solution ...Which eventually leads to another scene in the Hanged Man, after Aveline's unsuccessful "date", as interjection between Hawke's lines:
 * Hawke: Maybe we're not the best example.
 * Aveline: I'm the captain. He's my guardsman. I can't get past that.
 * Fenris: If the existing relationship prevents a new one, go somewhere you are equal.
 * Aveline: What, just... go out somewhere? Like it's that easy?
 * Fenris: Again, she deflects.
 * Aveline: I will not risk...
 * Fenris: You're squandering something you don't understand.
 * Hawke: You can't ignore advice from such a stable source. (no sarcasm intended)

Hawke/Fenris/Companion
If Hawke romanced Fenris and with Fenris in the party
 * Anders: I know it isn't my place to criticize, but...
 * Anders: Are you sure about Fenris?
 * Anders: He seems less a man to me than a wild dog.
 * Hawke: You just don't know him.
 * Anders: I know as much as I'm ever likely to.
 * Fenris: That's right, mage.
 * Anders: He has let one bad experience color his whole world. Surely you want someone more openminded?
 * Fenris: A mage and a hypocrite. What company you keep.

(Next line depends on the third companion present)
 * Carver: You know, Fenris, I have a tattoo.
 * Fenris: You have a what?
 * Carver: A tattoo. A lot of us got them before Ostagar. It's a Mabari. For strength.
 * Fenris: Does it curse you with the ability to reach into a man and tear out his insides?
 * Carver: Uh. I can make it bark.
 * Fenris: Please don't.
 * Anders: Yes, refrain.
 * Aveline: Agreed.
 * Isabela: Rather see it wag.
 * Merrill: That's... ew.
 * Varric: Seconded.
 * Hawke: (Sighs)

Hawke and Aveline
During Blackpowder Courtesy, when you visit the Side Alley
 * Aveline: He's a good man. Trust that it's as bad as he says.
 * Hawke: How about we skip this one? Send your man instead? (Sarcastic Hawke)
 * Aveline: How about I shove a canary up your coal mine? Let's go.

During Questioning Beliefs, after The Long Road, and choose, "You need my good humor" (pause)
 * Hawke: You don't want me as sour and dour as you. You need a counterpoint.
 * Aveline: I don't think I've asked to be the butt of your jokes.
 * Hawke: Donnic.
 * Aveline: Okay, sometimes I have asked for it.

Hawke and Bethany
During the quest The First Sacrifice, when saying you're interested in Jethann's services) When saying you're interested in Jethann's services, but refuse after Bethany's complaint
 * Bethany: Maker's breath! Can't you... do this when I'm not around?
 * Hawke: Run along and play, Bethany.
 * Bethany: This is not why we came to Kirkwall!
 * Hawke: Fine. I'll do this some other day.
 * Bethany: It's too late.  The images are already in my mind and they will never, ever go away.

When giving the bones you found during The First Sacrifice to Emeric
 * Hawke: Recognize your mage?
 * Bethany: You're horrible!

Hawke and Fenris
Fenris' responses when Hawke talks to him, if there is no other dialogue. Neutral or Low Friendship/Rivalry (always available) High Friendship High Rivalry Romance
 * We should move on.
 * Hawke. (Rivalry only)
 * Always a pleasure.
 * Yes my friend?
 * Tell me, and it is done. (after completing Alone)
 * Whatever you need, I am ready to assist. (after completing Alone)
 * What is it?
 * I stand ready. (after completing Alone)
 * I enjoy following you.
 * I remain at your side.
 * I am yours. (after completing his Act III Questioning Beliefs)

ACT II If Carver was lost in the Deep Roads After All That Remains
 * Fenris: Your brother seemed a fine young man. I am sorry for his loss.
 * Fenris: I cannot imagine what it must be like to lose your family. Anything I could say would be insufficient. I'm sorry.

''Inside the Hawke Estate, only if Dog is present. (This conversation was not enabled until patch 1.03. Best triggered before activating romance with Fenris.)''
 * Fenris: A fascinating breed. Such intelligence and strength.
 * Fenris: Do you ever wonder what he thinks about?
 * Hawke:
 * (Diplomatic) I'm not always sure I want to know.
 * (Humorous) He still thinks about dog things. Just with more clarity.
 * (Aggressive) Slaying his enemies, just like he's been bred to do.


 * Fenris: Are you aware that this breed originated in Tevinter?
 * Fenris: The magisters bred them. It's said the mabari defected during the Imperium's invasion of Ferelden.
 * Fenris: Merely a tale, but I rather like the idea they found the barbarians more... palatable than the mages.
 * Dog: (Happy bark!)
 * Fenris: Exactly so.
 * Fenris: Let's hope your hound doesn't take after his ancestors too strongly, hmm? ''

During Offered and Lost
 * Fenris: So, on the word of a drunk, we intend to accuse the grand cleric of funding zealots?
 * Hawke: It's a careful chat about missing Qunari.
 * Fenris: Freedom was interesting while it lasted.

Hawke and Isabela
During Fools Rush In
 * Hawke: "Stab first, ask questions later?"
 * Isabela: "Trust me, it's better this way."

Act III During No Rest for the Wicked Beginning of quest, while talking about how to fool Velasco In the Blooming Rose, before pretending to hand Isabela over to trick Velasco (Diplomatic choice) I'm not sure about this. If other party members present OR (Humorous choice) You seem a little eager. OR (Aggressive choice) This will be fun.
 * Hawke: "You haven't exactly thought this out, have you?"
 * Isabela: "I haven't exactly worked out all of the kinks. Step one, we find Castillon... step two, I don't know. Something exciting happens. Step three, profit. Any questions?" (Possibly a reference to the South Park episode, "Gnomes")
 * Isabela: Now, this needs to be convincing. And you'll need to get creative—call me names, even hit me.
 * Isabela: Stick with it, no matter what I do. Velasco's a clever son of a bitch. If you waver, he'll notice.
 * Hawke: I don't know if I can pull this off.
 * Isabela: Come on, haven't you ever wanted to slap me? Just a little?
 * Aveline: Absolutely.
 * Fenris: Yes.
 * Anders: Yes.
 * Varric: Yes.
 * Merrill: Yes... wait, what are we voting on?
 * Sebastian: Is that a trick question?
 * Isabela: I wasn't asking you people!
 * Varric: Face it. You set yourself up for that one.
 * Hawke: I'm worried about you. You're enjoying this a little too much.
 * Isabela: I am, aren't I? (Giggles)
 * Hawke: I'll make it convincing, not to worry.
 * Isabela: Er... now you're making me nervous.

If Hawke spent the night with Fenris, speak to her in The Hanged Man OR OR
 * Isabela: Speaking of romance... You and Fenris, eh? That taut, controlled body, brooding demeanor and intense gaze... I hear he still wears the shackles from his life in bondage...under his clothes. You know what they say about men like that, don't you?
 * Hawke: (Sighs) I'm going to regret asking you to continue, aren't I?
 * Isabela: He can't find a saw. (Laughs) I had you there! You thought I was going to say something dirty! (Laughs)
 * Hawke: I haven't seen any shackles. You're just making things up.
 * Isabela: Oh. But... I had this joke lined up.
 * Isabela: You're no fun.
 * Hawke: Keep it to yourself, Isabela.
 * Isabela: You're no fun.

If Hawke romanced Merrill, speak to her in The Hanged Man
 * Isabela: Speaking of romance...
 * Isabela: You're interested in Merrill, aren't you?
 * Hawke: I have feelings for her/I'm that obvious, am I?
 * Isabela: Well, that's good. She always seemed a little lonely.
 * Isabela: I get the feeling the girl's messing in something big and dangerous.
 * Isabela: Look out for her, will you? Make sure she doesn't hurt herself.
 * Isabela: Oh, and if you do anything nasty to her, I'll cut off your balls. (male Hawke)

If Hawke has slept with Isabela and let her take the ship:
 * Hawke: "So when do I get the grand tour?"
 * Isabela: "Haven't you already - Oh, you mean the ship."

When entering the Blooming Rose for the first time
 * Isabela: "The difference between whores and courtesans is...well, they have nicer shoes."
 * Hawke: "I don't think anyone's looking at their shoes."

After the events of All That Remains and if you romanced Isabela
 * Isabela: "I... uh. I feel I should say... something."
 * Hawke: "I know you're not good at... emotional stuff."
 * Isabela: "At least your mother loved you. Not everyone can say that."
 * Hawke: "Mother was all I had left."
 * Isabela: "You don't really think that, do you?"
 * Isabela: "Family's not just the people you're related to by blood. There are other people who care about you."
 * Isabela: "Like... Aveline."

Hawke and Merrill
'' While Hawke is exploring/looking at things in the estate... ''


 * I think Merrill named this falcon sculpture Finnegan. No, wait... that's wrong. Finnegan's on the north face. This one's Messerre Pointy-Face.


 * "I came in and watered your plants! Your friend, Merrill." Well, that was nice of her.

If in a romance with Merrill:


 * The only thing Merrill's moved in. Maybe she doesn't feel this is her home yet.


 * Orana's a patient music teacher, but Merrill should really just stick to magic. (If Orana serves at the estate)


 * Handprints? Has someone been swinging on the chandelier? Merrill... (If not romancing Merrill, Hawke refers to Sandal)


 * "I came in and watered your plants! Lots of love, Merrill." That girl's way too nice.

Hawke and Varric
=Legacy=

Hawke and Bethany
In Act 1: Humorous Hawke: Aggressive Hawke: Diplomatic Hawke:
 * Bethany: I'm worried about mother. All she does is sit in that rathole and think about Carver. It's eating her up.
 * Hawke: Well, if she ever left the house, Gamlen would probably steal that too.
 * Bethany: I don't think even Gamlen could steal something that doesn't belong to him.
 * Hawke: He would try.
 * Bethany: I've tried to get mother to look for work, or reconnect with some of her childhood friends. But she went to visit the Comte de Launcet once, and now she refuses to try again. She says it's just "too pathetic."
 * Hawke: Brooding isn't going to bring him back.
 * Bethany: I've tried to get mother to look for work, or reconnect with some of her childhood friends. But she went to visit the Comte de Launcet once, and now she refuses to try again. She says it's just "too pathetic."
 * Hawke: How can we help?
 * Bethany: I've tried to get mother to look for work, or reconnect with some of her childhood friends. But she went to visit the Comte de Launcet once, and now she refuses to try again. She says it's just "too pathetic."

If Bethany is in the Circle and All That Remains has not been completed: Aggressive Hawke: If Bethany joined the Grey Wardens and All That Remains has not been completed: Humorous Hawke: Diplomatic Hawke: Aggressive Hawke:
 * Bethany: Mother seems happier. A few years distance from all that loss...it's a good thing. She must worry, with both of us in a place like this. She was adamant I not go, last time.
 * Hawke: And look what happened.
 * Bethany: I'd have gone to the Circle eventually. Perhaps not so gently. Better or worse, it is what it is.
 * Bethany: Mother seems happier. A few years distance from all that loss...it's a good thing. She must worry, with both of us in a place like this. She was adamant I not go, last time.
 * Hawke: I don't want to think of it myself.
 * Bethany: You'd better! I don't want a repeat of the last time! Not that it's possible.
 * Hawke: We'll be careful.
 * Bethany: She's heard that before, and so have I.
 * Hawke: Then don't tell her.
 * Bethany: After the thought that brought us here? She's not stupid. Just...be careful when it comes up.

If All That Remains has been completed and Bethany is in the Circle: Humorous Hawke: Aggressive Hawke: Diplomatic Hawke:
 * Bethany: I'm glad mother...well, she didn't need to deal with this. Attacks on both of us... Why couldn't they go after Gamlen?
 * Hawke: Good taste?
 * Bethany: Unlikely given the average shadow-dweller. There are enough in your wake for a reasonably representative study. The templars often question me about what you do, you know.
 * Hawke: Another reason for me to like them.
 * Bethany: You had reason to begin with? It doesn't matter. They're just questions, and I've stored quite a bewildering weave of answers.
 * Hawke: Might not miss him, but I'd still hunt them down for it.
 * Bethany: (Laughs) Yes, you've left quite the trail in other matters. The templars often question me about what you do, you know.
 * Hawke: If they hurt you I'll make them regret it.
 * Bethany: Templars don't take threats well. It doesn't matter. They're just questions, and I've stored quite a bewildering weave of answers.
 * Hawke: I wouldn't wish it even on him.
 * Bethany: He's earned worse, by some measures. The templars often question me about what you do, you know.
 * Hawke: Might not miss him, but I'd still hunt them down for it.
 * Bethany: (Laughs) Yes, you've left quite the trail in other matters. The templars often question me about what you do, you know.
 * Hawke: Can I help stop that?
 * Bethany: Their solution would be rather drastic I think. It doesn't matter. They're just questions, and I've stored quite a bewildering weave of answers.

If All That Remains has been completed and Bethany is a Grey Warden: Humorous Hawke: Diplomatic Hawke: Aggressive Hawke:
 * Bethany: I'm glad mother...well, she didn't need to deal with this. Attacks on both of us... Why couldn't they go after Gamlen?
 * Hawke: Good taste?
 * Bethany: (Laughs) I wish the things lurking in the dark had such a discerning palate. It'd be almost comforting. Understandable. Instead of what I've seen. Thanks to...this life.
 * Hawke: You'd have less to know about it if you were, you know, dead.
 * Bethany: Sometimes I wonder.
 * Hawke: I wouldn't wish it even on him.
 * Bethany: No, I suppose not. Attack from the dark, no warning. I see enough of that. Thanks to...this life.
 * Hawke: I'm sorry. I couldn't lose you, and I did anyway.
 * Bethany: The way of this world, I think.
 * Hawke: Might not miss him, but I'd still hunt them down for it.
 * Bethany: Mm. I know. Can't have a threat lurking in the dark. I've learned that thrice over. It's not what I would've chosen, this life, but given everything else that we've lost... Well, you do this for a few years, you learn not to take second chances for granted.
 * Hawke: You'd still rather be dead?
 * Bethany: I am dead. It's just...taking it's time.

If Bethany is in the Circle: Humorous Hawke:
 * Bethany: That corruption. I don't think there's any record of it having...that effect. But even the threat of it...anyone normal would choose to die first.
 * Hawke: Keep thinking good thoughts.
 * Bethany: Too many ignore it. That's why we need Grey Wardens, and why they're at risk of...that.
 * Hawke: You'd still rather be dead?
 * Bethany: I am dead. It's just...taking it's time.

If Bethany joined the Grey Wardens: Humorous Hawke: Aggressive Hawke: Diplomatic Hawke: Or, in a rivalry:
 * Bethany: That corruption...that's what I was saved from. You wouldn't have let it go that far though. You'd have done anything.
 * Hawke: No worries, everything is dandy now.
 * Bethany: Oh, quite.
 * Hawke: And I would again.
 * Bethany: I know.
 * Hawke: It shouldn't have been necessary.
 * Bethany: Maybe. But thanks.
 * Bethany: That corruption...that's what I was saved from. If you call it saved, anyway.
 * Hawke: I do, and you should too.

Hawke and Carver
In Act 1: Humorous Hawke: Diplomatic Hawke: Aggressive Hawke:
 * Carver: Whatever we find down here, I don't want this getting back to mother.
 * Hawke: Keeping secrets brother? Tsk.
 * Carver: She's worried enough. What good will it do her to know that this kind of thing is...in our blood.
 * Hawke: Maybe she knew.
 * Carver: Then she kept it to herself for good reason. Whatever we find, we need to bury it.
 * Hawke: We'll see and decide.
 * Carver: She's worried enough. What good will it do her to know that this kind of thing is...in our blood.
 * Hawke: Maybe she knew.
 * Carver: Then she kept it to herself for good reason. Whatever we find, we need to bury it.
 * Hawke: Not your choice.
 * Carver: She's worried enough. What good will it do her to know that this kind of thing is...in our blood.
 * Hawke: Maybe she knew.
 * Carver: Then she kept it to herself for good reason. Whatever we find, we need to bury it.

Humorous Hawke: Diplomatic Hawke: Aggressive Hawke: If Carver is a templar: Humorous Hawke: Diplomatic Hawke: Aggressive Hawke:
 * Carver: That Larius - that's what people become if they're corrupted? I mean, they showed us ghouls before Ostagar, but never live. Never talking. That's never happening to me.
 * Hawke: I'll check under your bed when we get home.
 * Carver: You do that. Get the laundry while you're at it.
 * Hawke: Well, make sure that doesn't happen.
 * Carver: It's that easy? Oh, well, everything's fine then.
 * Hawke: Then don't let it.
 * Carver: It's that easy? Oh, well, everything's fine then.
 * Carver: One day we'll take the Deep Roads. Do what those Wardens can't seem to get done.
 * Hawke: Right, can't be that big of a job. Saving the world.
 * Carver: They couldn't make it look harder if they tried. And maybe they are.
 * Hawke: Probably not that simple, but I'd like to see it.
 * Carver: Wouldn't we all.
 * Hawke: Everyone else's job is easy, is that it?
 * Carver: They've have better than a thousand years. If any of this has an end, you think they'd get to it.

If Carver is a templar and All That Remains has not been completed: Humorous Hawke: Diplomatic Hawke: Aggressive Hawke:
 * Carver: Mother shouldn't have to deal with this. As if you don't give her enough to worry about.
 * Hawke: Says the templar.
 * Carver: A respected order. A position with a future, even if it's difficult. Never mind. I don't expect you to get it.
 * Hawke: Given our lineage, she was more upset by you.
 * Carver: A respected order. A position with a future, even if it's difficult. Never mind. I don't expect you to get it.
 * Hawke: You're the one who joined the templars.
 * Carver: A respected order. A position with a future, even if it's difficult. Never mind. I don't expect you to get it.

If Carver is a Grey Warden: Diplomatic Hawke: Humorous Hawke:
 * Carver: That...man, and how corrupted he is? Remember that. That's what I'm fighting for.
 * Hawke: It is appreciated.
 * Carver: You're damn right it is.
 * Hawke: Then we agree.
 * Carver: Well...good.
 * Hawke: Good.
 * Hawke: I'll arrange a "thanking queue" when we're back in Kirkwall.
 * Carver: Sure, make fun of the end of the world.
 * Hawke: Best time for it, I'd think.
 * Carver: Well...good.
 * Hawke: Good.

If Carver is a Grey Warden and All That Remains has not been completed: Humorous Hawke: Aggressive Hawke: Diplomatic Hawke: Or, in a rivalry: Humorous Hawke: Aggressive Hawke: Diplomatic Hawke:
 * Carver: Mother shouldn't have to deal with this. I give her enough to worry about.
 * Hawke: Hard to call this your fault.
 * Carver: Trouble follows our name I guess. The price of potential. At least you stay close to home. Must be nice.
 * Hawke: Oh yes, bon-bons and peppermints until I am absolutely stuffed. All right, I didn't mean it like that.
 * Hawke: What's that supposed to mean?
 * Carver: I, er, nothing. Nothing. Let's just figure this out.
 * Hawke: I don't think you know what I do.
 * Carver: Maybe that's best.
 * Carver: Trouble follows our name I guess. The price of potential. We Wardens will eventually save the world, and you...well, I'm sure you'll amount to something.
 * Hawke: Right. Funny.
 * Hawke: Trying hard, brother.
 * Hawke: That's the plan.

If Carver is a templar and All That Remains has been completed: Humorous Hawke: Diplomatic Hawke: Aggressive Hawke:
 * Carver: Another mess. Is it bad that I'm glad Mother isn't around to suffer this?
 * Hawke: We do attract a peculiar kind of fortune.
 * Carver: The sides we're on, it's all but guaranteed one of us would be worrying her. If I knew how to fix that, well...it doesn't matter. let's just get this mess cleaned up.
 * Hawke: I don't want to get into it.
 * Carver: The sides we're on, it's all but guaranteed one of us would be worrying her. If I knew how to fix that, well...it doesn't matter. let's just get this mess cleaned up.
 * Hawke: She knew what to expect.
 * Carver: The sides we're on, it's all but guaranteed one of us would be worrying her. If I knew how to fix that, well...it doesn't matter. let's just get this mess cleaned up.

If Carver is a Grey Warden in Act 3: Humorous Hawke: Diplomatic Hawke: Aggressive Hawke: Humorous Hawke: Diplomatic Hawke: Aggressive Hawke:
 * Carver: Another mess. Is it bad that I'm glad Mother isn't around to suffer this?
 * Hawke: We do attract a peculiar kind of fortune.
 * Carver: I died my way into the Wardens and you punched your way to Champion. We are esteemed.
 * Hawke: Go with your strengths I guess.
 * Hawke: I don't want to get into it.
 * Carver: I died my way into the Wardens and you punched your way to Champion. We are esteemed.
 * Hawke: Well deserved, every bit of it.
 * Carver: The corruption of that...man. I've been a Warden how long, and I've ever seen anything like that. I guess that's why I'm still alive. To stop that.
 * Hawke: And dumb luck. That's the other reason you're alive.
 * Carver: (Laughs) Credit where it's due, I suppose.
 * Hawke: I don't envy you the job.
 * Carver: The attacks that brought me here were almost a welcome distraction. A normal assault with a normal enemy. I should have known, really. Nothing normal about us.
 * Hawke: First things first, Warden.
 * Carver: Right. You, then everything else. Got it.

If Carver is a Grey Warden and All That Remains has not been completed: Humorous Hawke: Aggressive Hawke: Diplomatic Hawke: Or, in a rivalry: Humorous Hawke: Aggressive Hawke: Diplomatic Hawke:
 * Carver: Mother shouldn't have to deal with this. I give her enough to worry about.
 * Hawke: Hard to call this your fault.
 * Carver: Trouble follows our name I guess. The price of potential. At least you stay close to home. Must be nice.
 * Hawke: Oh yes, bon-bons and peppermints until I am absolutely stuffed. All right, I didn't mean it like that.
 * Hawke: What's that supposed to mean?
 * Carver: I, er, nothing. Nothing. Let's just figure this out.
 * Hawke: I don't think you know what I do.
 * Carver: Maybe that's best.
 * Carver: Trouble follows our name I guess. The price of potential. We Wardens will eventually save the world, and you...well, I'm sure you'll amount to something.
 * Hawke: Right. Funny.
 * Hawke: Trying hard, brother.
 * Hawke: That's the plan.

If Carver is a templar and All That Remains has been completed: Humorous Hawke: Diplomatic Hawke: Aggressive Hawke:
 * Carver: Another mess. Is it bad that I'm glad Mother isn't around to suffer this?
 * Hawke: We do attract a peculiar kind of fortune.
 * Carver: The sides we're on, it's all but guaranteed one of us would be worrying her. If I knew how to fix that, well...it doesn't matter. let's just get this mess cleaned up.
 * Hawke: I don't want to get into it.
 * Carver: The sides we're on, it's all but guaranteed one of us would be worrying her. If I knew how to fix that, well...it doesn't matter. let's just get this mess cleaned up.
 * Hawke: She knew what to expect.
 * Carver: The sides we're on, it's all but guaranteed one of us would be worrying her. If I knew how to fix that, well...it doesn't matter. let's just get this mess cleaned up.

If Carver is a Grey Warden in Act 3: Humorous Hawke: Diplomatic Hawke: Aggressive Hawke:
 * Carver: Another mess. Is it bad that I'm glad Mother isn't around to suffer this?
 * Hawke: We do attract a peculiar kind of fortune.
 * Carver: I died my way into the Wardens and you punched your way to Champion. We are esteemed.
 * Hawke: Go with your strengths I guess.
 * Hawke: I don't want to get into it.
 * Carver: I died my way into the Wardens and you punched your way to Champion. We are esteemed.
 * Hawke: Well deserved, every bit of it.
 * Hawke: She knew what to expect.
 * Carver: I died my way into the Wardens and you punched your way to Champion. We are esteemed.
 * Hawke: I'm not sure we can handle much more success.

If Carver is a templar in Act 3: Humorous Hawke: Aggressive Hawke: Diplomatic Hawke:
 * Carver: Everything lower than Lowtown should just be filled in. The lot of it.
 * Hawke: So kill everything lower than your upturned nose?
 * Carver: If you don't want rats, you get rid of the colony.
 * Hawke: And then whatever eats rats has to look your way.
 * Carver: Well, lets do nothing then. My mistake.
 * Hawke: Shut up.
 * Carver: Yes, yes, too simple for the great machinations of the Elder Hawke.
 * Hawke: No, really, just shut up.
 * Hawke: Seems a little harsh.
 * Carver: Really? You like chasing people back down their holes? I'd prefer they never came out in the first place.
 * Hawke: It's not a choice everyone has.
 * Carver: If they can't make it, doesn't mean I can't.

Breaking the seals: Humorous Hawke:
 * Carver: I suppose he won't stop coming after us unless we do this.
 * Hawke: If you like, we could leave a strongly worded note on his sarcophagus and go.
 * Carver: You're so clever.

Hawke and Anders
If Hawke has a diplomatic/helpful personality: If Hawke has a humorous/charming personality: If Hawke has an aggressive/direct personality:
 * Anders: One good thing about being trapped in an ancient underground prison...not a lot of templars.
 * Varric: I gotta hand it to you, Blondie, you make that work every time.
 * Anders: There's a bright side to everything.
 * Hawke: A new base of operations for Kirkwall's mage underground.
 * Anders: It's got...potential.
 * Hawke: You should set up shop. It's no worse than your current digs.
 * Anders: Good point.
 * Hawke: Just wait.
 * Anders: I could be quite comfortable here actually. Clean the taint off the floor, maybe hang a few pictures. It might even be a step up from Darktown.
 * Hawke: I've never argued against you being in prison.
 * Anders: Hmm. At least this one was built by mages.

If Hawke has a humorous/charming personality: If Hawke has a diplomatic/helpful personality: If Hawke has an aggressive/direct personality: Or:
 * Anders: I've tried to forget about this side of myself. Justice is...so strong. Sometimes the Wardens seem insignificant. But seeing that poor bastard brings it all back. The Darkspawn taint. The call of the archdemon. It's inside me, as much a part of me as Justice.
 * Hawke: Ooh, baby. Tell me more.
 * Hawke: Maybe there's a cure.
 * Hawke: Never bothered me before.
 * Anders: You should find someone else, love. You don't want all the ugliness I'm going to bring into your life.
 * Hawke: I'll...take it under advisement. Nobody's perfect.
 * Anders: There's a lot of ugliness in my life. You should stay away from me.
 * Hawke: Not a chance.

If Carver is a Grey Warden and not in the party: Depending on what Act it is: Or:
 * Anders: Have you heard from Carver at all?
 * Hawke: Not a word. I think it hurts my mother the most. She never quite believed me saying that Carver didn't die.
 * Hawke: Are they allowed to write? I thought the Grey Wardens had a thing against friends and family.
 * Anders: It's not easy, being a Warden. Sometimes it's better to cut all ties with your old life. When I joined, all I wanted was an escape from the Circle. But it's more. It's a calling, it really is. Carver's the kind of man who can find fulfillment in battling the darkspawn. He'll do fine.

If Bethany is a Grey Warden and not in the party:
 * Anders: Have you heard from Bethany recently?
 * Hawke: Not a word. I think that hurt mother the most. It would have been nice to get one letter before she died.
 * Anders: Bethany will find something to be proud of. It suits her more than she thinks.

Hawke and Fenris
If Hawke is romancing Fenris, but presumably before completing Fenris' Act 3 Questioning Beliefs: If Hawke has a humorous/charming personality: If Hawke has a diplomatic/helpful personality or aggressive/direct personality:
 * Hawke: So, Fenris...we, uh... we haven't spoken since...
 * Fenris: You wish to do this here? In front of everyone?
 * Hawke: Kinky.
 * Fenris: That wasn't...ugh. Nevermind.
 * Hawke: Not my first choice, no.
 * Fenris: Nor mine. I'm sorry.

If Hawke has a diplomatic/helpful personality: If Hawke has a humorous/charming personality: If Hawke has an aggressive/direct personality:
 * Fenris: How is it you get into these situations so often?
 * Hawke: What do you mean?
 * Fenris: Hmm. Attacked by dwarves, approached by strangers, stumbling upon ancient riddles...madness.
 * Hawke: I don't know why it's like that. Fate, I suppose.
 * Fenris: "Fate" is a word for the Maker's poor sense of humor.
 * Hawke: It's a gift.
 * Fenris: (laughs) Well I think you should return it.
 * Hawke: It does feel like some unseen force is manipulating my fate.
 * Fenris: It's so wonderful having my personal business as someone else's sport.

If Hawke has a humorous/charming personality: If Hawke has a diplomatic/helpful personality or aggressive/direct personality: Depending on who's in the party:
 * Fenris: Thank you for asking me to come along again, Hawke.
 * Hawke: Why wouldn't I? More the merrier.
 * Hawke: Is there a reason I wouldn't?
 * Fenris: I just...am pleased. To see you. That's all.
 * Varric: Smooth.
 * Isabela: (laughs) Oh Fenris.
 * Carver: (laughs)
 * Aveline: (laughs) And I thought I was bad at it.
 * Merrill: Oh. I think it's sweet.


 * Fenris: Why are the Wardens always up to mischief?
 * Carver: (laughs) I know right? You'd think they have nothing better to do.
 * Hawke: It's in their blood I suppose.
 * Fenris: They've no Blight to combat now. This keeps them busy?

Hawke and Isabela
If Varric is in the party:
 * Hawke: Someday I'll visit a place with no ancient evils, horrors, devouring plagues, or insanity.
 * Hawke: Maybe a beach.
 * Isabela: I can recommend a few, if you'd like.
 * Hawke: Please do.
 * Varric: The day you go to the beach is the day an armada of angry demon pirates show up.
 * Hawke: I've got a bad feeling all of a sudden.

If Hawke has a diplomatic/helpful personality: If Hawke has a humorous/charming personality: If Hawke has an aggressive/direct personality:
 * Isabela: Watch out, the ground looks treacherous here.
 * Hawke: Thank you.
 * Hawke: Showing concern for others, Isabela? Tongues will wag.
 * Varric: Oh you can bet they will.
 * Hawke: Hmm, I didn't think you cared.
 * Isabela: I...just don't want to see your brains dashed on the ground, that's all. Stop looking at me like that. I shouldn't have said anything.

If Hawke has a diplomatic/helpful personality: If Hawke has a humorous/charming personality: If Hawke has an aggressive/direct personality:
 * Isabela: So now you're the target of batty dwarven assassins? You do attract the strangest types.
 * Hawke: It does seem that way, doesn't it?
 * Isabela: I wonder what it is. Perhaps you should bathe more frequently.
 * Hawke: Yes. Like lust addled pirates.
 * Isabela: (laughs) Ooh, touché.
 * Hawke: You think I asked for this?
 * Isabela: I'm just making an observation.

If Hawke has a diplomatic/helpful personality: If Hawke has a humorous/charming personality: If Hawke has an aggressive/direct personality:
 * Isabela: Do you hope to learn something about your father down here?
 * Hawke: Of course, I barely remember him.
 * Hawke: So long as it doesn't also involve my mother. Some things about your parents should never see the light of day.
 * Hawke: Haven't thought about it. I just want to get out of here. Alive, if possible.
 * Isabela: Well, I think your father sounds like someone worth knowing. According my mother, my father wasn't. Not even for one night.

During the battle with Corypheus:
 * Isabela: Get his armor off!
 * Hawke: Really, Isabela?
 * Isabela: I don't mean that! Stun him, paralyze him!

Hawke and Merrill

 * Merrill: How come you never get lost?
 * Hawke: I do. Sometimes.
 * Merrill: I've never seen it! And everybody follows you, and you always seem to know where you're going.
 * Hawke: Just act like you know where you're going, that's usually enough.
 * Merrill: I try that sometimes! But there's no amount of confidence that makes up for walking into the Grand Cleric's airing cupboard.
 * Hawke: What about that time I led us in circles around the Wounded Coast for 3 hours?
 * Merrill: Oh! I thought you were just admiring the view! Eh, it was a lovely day at least.

If Hawke has a diplomatic/helpful personality: If Hawke has a humorous/charming personality: If Hawke has an aggressive/direct personality:
 * Merrill: I am so sorry about the wardrobe. Was it very badly smashed?
 * Hawke: It's fine, Merrill. How did it break anyway?
 * Hawke: I had to put it out of it's misery. What happened?
 * Hawke: What did you do to it exactly?
 * Merrill: I didn't expect it to fall over the railing like that. I thought it'd be more stable.
 * Hawke: Fell over the railing? What?
 * Merrill: I mean it held up just fine for me! Poor Sandal, it took hours for Bodahn to coax him down from the chandelier.
 * Hawke: On second thought, I don't want to know.

If Hawke has a diplomatic/helpful personality: If Hawke has a humorous/charming personality: If Hawke has an aggressive/direct personality:
 * Merrill: Why do you suppose the Carta want to live in a big hole in the ground?
 * Hawke: I don't think they want to be here.
 * Merrill: Do you think they fell down here and got stuck? Maybe a good rope ladder would solve this whole Carta problem.
 * Hawke: Oh, it's an up and coming neighborhood. In a few years, all the fashionable families will be down here.
 * Merrill: I don't think they'd make good neighbors, what with being crazy. The Carta, I mean, not the - I'll stop talking now.
 * Hawke: Vermin always flock to dark places.
 * Merrill: Oh! Just like rats. I wonder if a lot of bread crumbs fall down here.

If Hawke is in a romance with Merrill and Carver is a templar: Otherwise:
 * Merrill: I have to say, this is a nice break from the templars giving me the hairy eyeball all the time.
 * Hawke: Carver...
 * Carver: Don't you worry, it wasn't and won't be me. Have your fun.
 * Carver: Don't look at me. I haven't given her a hairy anything. Not that it's your business.

Hawke and Varric
If Act 3, otherwise depending on friendship/rivalry: Friendship: Rivalry: If romancing Anders: If romancing Fenris: If romancing Isabela: If romancing Merrill:
 * Hawke: Varric, I've heard...stories of a personal nature being spread around town.
 * Varric: You're the Champion of Kirkwall. People pay attention to everything you do. And everyone.
 * Varric: And you want me to set the record straight? I'm honored.
 * Varric: If you want your private life to stay, uh, private, maybe don't sleep with half of Kirkwall.
 * Varric: As it happens, I haven't said a word about you and Blondie. I'd look at that, uh, uncle of yours for this particular rumor.
 * Anders: I'm right here, you know. Should I stick my fingers in my ears until you're done?
 * Varric: I haven't told anyone about you and that, uh, angsty Tevinter elf. Try looking closer to home for that intelligence leak.
 * Fenris: Angsty Tevinter Elf?
 * Varric: What can I say? I strive for accuracy.
 * Varric: I'm not spreading any tales about you and the Rivaini. Although she asks me every other week to start some.
 * Isabela: It would make a great new serial. Much better than that guard one you've been writing.
 * Varric: I haven't breathed a word to anyone about you and Daisy. Maybe you better have a talk with uh, uncle greasy?
 * Hawke: Gamlen.

If Varric is in the party:
 * Hawke: Someday I'll visit a place with no ancient evils, horrors, devouring plagues, or insanity.
 * Hawke: Maybe a beach.
 * Isabela: I can recommend a few, if you'd like.
 * Hawke: Please do.
 * Varric: The day you go to the beach is the day an armada of angry demon pirates show up.
 * Hawke: I've got a bad feeling all of a sudden.

If Hawke has a diplomatic/helpful personality: If Hawke has a humorous/charming personality: If Hawke has an aggressive/direct personality:
 * Hawke: When you tell people about our escape from Lothering, why do you make it seem like I have food all over my face?
 * Varric: You're larger than life, Hawke. I had to give you a few flaws just to make you approachable.
 * Hawke: Did you call me fat?
 * Varric: Yes, that's pretty much how I tell it. "Hawke rolled into the fray like a gigantic pudding, covered in gravy." It's more dramatic that way.
 * Hawke: I'm not sure about the epicness of this tale.
 * Hawke: Does it have to be gravy? Couldn't it be chocolate instead?
 * Hawke: I hope the story ends, "And then Hawke backhanded the mouthy dwarf."
 * Varric: Everyone's a critic.

If Carver is in the party and in a friendship: Rivalry:
 * Hawke: I'd like to know who this "Corypheus" is. With a name like that, I know he's bound to go "Muahaha" at some point, I just know it. And really? More blood? Why can't it ever be spit or a lock of hair?
 * Varric: You really want to encounter a spit mage?
 * Hawke: For variety, sure.
 * Carver: You worry me, you know that?
 * Carver: Oh, shut up.


 * Hawke: I heard you're being fixed up with one of the Helmi daughters.
 * Varric: Thanks Hawke. I've been trying to forget about that all week.
 * Hawke: So...not love at first sight?
 * Varric: Dusana Helmi is easy on the eyes. Also, she's tried to kill me five times this year.
 * Hawke: Did she try again during the date?
 * Varric: She waited until I paid for dinner. She's in the Merchant's Guild, Hawke.
 * Hawke: So, you're not going to see her again?
 * Varric: No. And I might leave town for a while just to make sure.
 * Hawke: Being the most eligble bachelor in the Merchant Guild is perilous indeed.
 * Varric: I'm going to need more aliases.


 * Hawke: I'm surprised you agreed to come, Varric. You hate being underground and you avoid the Carta the same way you do the Merchant Guild.
 * Varric: There's no way I'd miss watching you make these motherless nug-lickers cry. If you wanna punch a few stalagmites on the way there, that's good too.

Upon reaching the Final Seal:
 * Varric: Oh, that's nice.
 * Hawke: What's so nice about it?
 * Varric: I was just wondering what some place sinister and foreboding would look like, and here it is.

=Mark of the Assassin=

Hawke and Anders

 * Anders: So you trust this woman who just leapt off a rooftop into the middle of an ambush with the Crows?
 * Tallis: I didn't have anything to do with the ambush.
 * Anders: I wasn't asking if you did.
 * Hawke: I'm pretty sure she's not a templar, Anders.


 * Anders: What was your father like?
 * Hawke: A good man, patient. He never yelled but you knew when he was disappointed.
 * Anders: You know, you're the only person I've met with a mage parent he/she actually remembers.
 * Anders: At the Circle, any accidental babies are taken away before the mother even sees them.
 * Hawke: That's horrible.

If Hawke romanced Anders and didn't join Tallis If Hawke has a humorous/charming personality If Fenris is in the party
 * Anders: Here I always figured you'd be the one coming to spring me from someone's dungeon.  I had it all planned.
 * Anders: I'd be in the Gallows, Templars all around, holding the brand for the Rite of Tranquility.  Then you'd burst in and break my chains.
 * Anders: And then it would be all about the best way to show my gratitude.
 * Hawke: Did it have anything to do with finding another use for those chains?
 * Fenris: Get a room.

Hawke and Bethany
If Hawke is female If Hawke is male
 * Hawke: Happy to be out of the Circle?
 * Bethany: It's strange. I miss a lot, but other things...
 * Bethany: You're a far better "Lady Hawke" than I would have been.
 * Bethany: You're a far better representative of the family than I would have been.
 * Hawke: I don't believe that for a second.

Hawke and Carver

 * Carver: Try not to cause too much trouble, will you? I have to uphold the tenets of the order now.
 * Hawke: I don't think I'm cut out to follow your tenets.
 * Carver: Right. You and I can keep it civil until you're done...whatever it is you think you're doing.


 * Carver: Is this revenge? You're mad at me for something, so you drag me out to "Baron Paucity de Rochfort's" grand fete?
 * Hawke: (Chuckles) I've been calling him "Duke Prosperity", but Paucity de Rochfort is much better.
 * Carver: Le Baron du Stinky-Cheese.

Hawke and Fenris
If Hawke is romancing Fenris:
 * Fenris: You frightened me.
 * Hawke: Me?
 * Fenris: Before we found you, there was a moment when I...
 * Fenris: Don't do that again.


 * Fenris: Just how many creatures live on this mountain?
 * Hawke: Be thankful they're not high dragons.
 * Fenris: Hmmm. Good point.


 * Fenris: You are too willing to involve yourself in the affairs of others, Hawke.
 * Fenris: Each time you put yourself at risk. One day you will not be so lucky.
 * Hawke: You have a better idea?
 * Fenris: Guard what you have. Keep your head low.

If Hawke has a humorous/charming personality:
 * Hawke: Like a dragon! Guarding my treasure hoard.
 * Fenris: That's not what I meant.
 * Hawke: Shall I eat passersby? Maybe I can demand virgin sacrifices.
 * Fenris: Even dragons are eventually slain, Hawke.

If Hawke has an aggressive/direct personality:
 * Hawke: Without risk, there's no reward.
 * Fenris: Perhaps. One day you may simply end up being rewarded with a blade in the back.
 * Hawke: Not your blade, however.
 * Fenris: Not my blade, no.

Hawke and Isabela

 * Isabela: Don't forget to loot the bodies!
 * Hawke: Do I ever?
 * Tallis: Do you really need to pillage the dead?
 * Isabela: Pillage and plunder is half the fun!


 * Isabela: Would you tell your uncle to leave me alone? He's often...inappropriate.
 * Hawke: You find something inappropriate?
 * Isabela: Extremely so! It's rather...repulsive, actually. Please talk to him.
 * Hawke: But it's more entertaining if I don't.
 * Isabela: Hawke!
 * Hawke: You have pretty eyes.
 * Isabela: Oh you're impossible!

If Aveline is in the party
 * Isabela: (Snickers)
 * Hawke: What is it now?
 * Isabela: Ghast hole.
 * Aveline: (Snickers) Not funny.

Hawke and Varric

 * Hawke: Who in the blazes is that?
 * Varric: Don't know! Kill people, then ask!
 * Tallis: Good plan!


 * Hawke: What makes you think I steal things because people ask me to?

If Isabela is in the party:
 * Isabela: Well I would.

If Aveline is also in the party:
 * Aveline: (Scoffs) What don't you do?


 * Varric: I may have talked you up a bit. Maybe more than once.

If Hawke has a sarcastic/charming personality.
 * Hawke: Wonderful.

If Hawke has a diplomatic personality
 * Hawke: Oh Varric.

If Hawke is a mage:
 * Varric: What? You'd rather I told everyone you were a mage?


 * Hawke: Varric.
 * Varric: You called?
 * Hawke: I notice you don't have a nickname for me.
 * Varric: I call you Hawke. You've probably heard it once or twice.
 * Hawke: But that's my name. It's not like Daisy or Blondie.

If Hawke has a diplomatic/helpful personality.
 * Varric: All right, Waffles. You really want a nickname, I can hook you up.
 * Hawke: Waffles? That's... unexpected.

If Hawke has a humorous/charming personality.
 * Varric: Sure, Chuckles. You want a nickname, I'll be happy to fix you up.
 * Hawke: Chuckles? That works.

If Hawke has an aggressive/direct personality.
 * Varric: If you really want a nickname, I can oblige. I'm thinking about going with Killer.
 * Hawke: How creative.

Hawke and Tallis

 * Tallis: Is your family really from Kirkwall? I heard you were Ferelden.
 * Hawke: My mother's family is from Kirkwall. We left Ferelden during the Blight.
 * Tallis: Makes sense. Did you know the Warden?
 * Hawke: No. Someone even told me she/he came to Lothering. But if so, I never saw him/her.

Sarcastic/Charming Hawke
 * Tallis: So Champion of Kirkwall, fancy title.
 * Hawke: The "Only One in Kirkwall not Completely Insane" was considered.
 * Tallis: So do you get a stipend? Let you rule the city?
 * Hawke: They gave me a medal.  It's shiny.

Diplomatic/Helpful Hawke
 * Tallis: So Champion of Kirkwall, fancy title.
 * Hawke: Not that fancy.
 * Tallis: So do you get a stipend? Let you rule the city?
 * Hawke: I don't think that city can be ruled.

If Male Hawke flirted with Tallis If Hawke romanced Anders
 * Tallis: Are you married?
 * Hawke: Performing a survey?
 * Tallis: It's just you're the Champion of Kirkwall... Big. Important.  I don't know.
 * Tallis:Just wondering if there is a little woman behind your throne.
 * Anders: Yes, who is behind your throne, Hawke?
 * Hawke: Let's keep moving.

If Female Hawke flirted with Tallis
 * Tallis: Are you married?
 * Hawke: Performing a survey?
 * Tallis: Just...wondering if there is a husband behind the throne.
 * Hawke: Not unless I stowed the body there.

If Carver is in the party If Varric is in the party
 * Hawke: Just how long has this wyvern hunt been going on?
 * Tallis: It's an annual tradition the Montforts began to keep the population down. They breed quickly.
 * Hawke: And the Orlesian nobility is only too happy to help out?
 * Tallis: It's a game. The Montforts are close to the empress, so anything that pleases them is worth persuing. Plus you should really try the aquae lucidius. You'll be seeing purple dragons in the sky for days.
 * Carver: For days? Really?
 * Hawke: Don't even think about it, Carver.
 * Carver: You never let me have any fun.
 * Varric: Forty crowns a bottle on the black market. Not that I've checked or anything.

Sarcastic Hawke Diplomatic Hawke
 * Hawke: For a slaughtering ground, it's actually rather pretty.
 * Tallis: The Montfort family inherited this mountain from a clan of Nevarran dragon-hunters. Well, maybe inherited is the wrong word. What do you call it when you kill someone in order to get all their stuff?
 * Hawke: Adventuring!
 * Hawke: Murder.


 * Tallis: Watch out. There may be ghasts.
 * Hawke: From a hole.
 * Tallis: Cave, technically.

If Isabela is in the party Otherwise
 * Tallis: Watch out! Big-hat ghast!
 * Isabela: (Snickers) Ghast hat.
 * Hawke: Big hats are never good!
