Bugs

 * PC 1.02
 * Although it doesn't show up on the city map, it is possible to enter the Viscount's Keep at night as long as this quest is not yet completed, regardless of which part of the quest you're currently actually at. This means it is possible to enter the Keep and subsequently the throne room and go through the entire encounter without having talked with Sebastian in the chantry and gone through the introduction part of the quest. What's more, it is impossible to leave Viscount's Keep after entering, until you've completed the encounter in the throne room. After meeting with "Sister Nightingale", the quest will simply update with the next part of the process, completely skipping the introduction.
 * Romance flag doesnt work properly if you import from expansions or dlc into DA2, so Leliana wont mention her romance with the Warden.
