Guilty Pleasures

Guilty Pleasures is a companion quest for Cassandra in Dragon Age Inquisition.

Cassandra chooses to reveal to the Inquisitor, that she reading and is a fan of the novel series 'Swords and Shields' written by none other than Varric Tethras and that she would reluctantly like the next issue from him without personally asking for it.

Acquisition
This quest is obtained after speaking to Cassandra in Skyhold after a certain point in the main campaign.

Walkthrough
Upon accepting this quest, the Inquisitor need only venture over to where Varric stands, at the entrance to the main hall and request the book from him during conversation. Varric will discuss the poor reception of the book series and his shock that someone actually likes it, and that Cassandra is one of those interested people. After agreeing to a stipulation that Varric must be present to give the book to Cassandra, the Inquisitor then returns to Cassandra and initiates a conversation.

Trivia

 * During the events of Dragon Age 2, during one of the party banters that occurs between Aveline and Varric, it is revealed that Varric is writing a book series about Aveline's adventures as a Guard Captain. Initially refusing, Aveline eventually agrees upon hearing of the series popularity.
 * During this quest, when requesting the book from Varric, it is learned that despite mentioning that it was popular to Aveline during Dragon Age 2, it was actually the opposite. This may have just been an inconsistency on the part of Bioware or a deliberate lie from Varric in order to have her blessing.
 * The front cover of the book strongly resembles Aveline from Dragon Age 2.
