Dorian Pavus/Approval

Inquisition companions

Haven

First conversation

Interesting how they seem to like the idea. As if it's a relief to be penned in again. (will be different if mages are allies; dialogue choices are the same regardless)

No approval changes

The Inquisition is seen as an authority. You've given southern mages license to… well, be like mages back home. (only if mages are allies)

• So long as they're like you. (romance) - Slightly Approves
• Is that so terrible?
• So they'll rule us next?
• I doubt that.

Second conversation

Elf only...

So I take it you're… Dalish? Is that the correct word here?

• It is, yes.
• It's correct everywhere.
• As opposed to "slave?" - Slightly Disapproves

I hope this won't be an issue between us. I am here to help you with the Venatori, after all.

• I appreciate your help. - Slightly Approves
• No need to dredge up the past.
• Don't give me a cause. - Disapproves

Have you seen Alexius?

Only if In Hushed Whispers was completed

No approval changes

Tell me about yourself.

And beyond my being so charming and well-dressed? Which is obvious to anyone.

• It's obvious to me. (romance) - Slightly Approves
• If you say so.
• I hadn't noticed.
• Don't push your luck. - Slightly Disapproves

No approval changes from remaining dialogue

Tell me about the Imperium.

[Investigate.]

Q1 Is blood magic common?

No approval changes

Q2 What about slavery?

Back home, it's… how it is? Slaves are everywhere. You don't question it. I'm not even certain many slaves do.

• You're saying they like it?
• It's not like that here.
• That's a terrible attitude. - Slightly Disapproves

Some slaves are treated poorly, it's true. But do you honestly think inescapable poverty is better?

• At least they have a choice. - Slightly Disapproves
• I suppose not. - Slightly Approves
• "Treated poorly?"

Q3 Do mages truly rule there?

[Investigate.]

Q1 The Magisterium? (Codex: Groups #20 The Magisterium unlocked)

[Investigate.]

Q1 Is it really that different?

No approval changes

Q2 The Black Divine?

No approval changes

Q3 Are you religious?

It's not an opinion that makes me popular.

No approval changes

You are what we needed most at the moment we needed it. That's what they will say in ages to come.

• I'm surprised you think that.
• I agree. - Slightly Disapproves
• I don't know. - Slightly Approves
• You are a fool. - Disapproves

Q5 Could Tevinter be an ally?

No approval changes

Skyhold

First cutscene

If Champions of the Just was completed, the first cutscene will be solely to permanently recruit him, and so there can be no approval changes.

If In Hushed Whispers was completed:

1. Am I speaking too quickly for you?

• I was enjoying the show. (Romance) - (to 2)
• We're all frightened. - (to 3)
• Not at all. Slightly Approves - (to 3)
• You're boring me. Disapproves - (to 3)

2. Distracted? By my wit and charm? I have plenty of both.

• You're very confident. Slightly Approves
• Perhaps.
• Are you so sure?

3. But here we are. One of those very magisters. A darkspawn.

• They say the chantry is lying? [Investigate]
• You seem upset.
• He could be lying.
• You were deceived.

4. It was us all along. We destroyed the world.

• You're not responsible. Slightly Approves
• It's not destroyed yet.
• Why whine about it? Disapproves

5. No one will thank you either. You know that, yes?

• Nobody knows that.
• No one likes a pessimist.
• I don't need their thanks. Slightly Approves

First conversation

You know he died, I assume.  Got us as far as the camp, and then... that was it.

• That's too bad. - Approves
• I'm suprised he helped.
• I never liked him. - Slightly Disapproves

But in the end, he believed. He asked me to tell you he was sorry.

• He was a good man. - Slightly Approves
• Thanks for telling me. - Slightly Approves
• He judged me too quickly. - Slightly Disapproves
• I'm glad he saw the light.

Why are you really here?

I still believe that Corypheus needs to be stopped, and that I need to be here to help stop him.

• Why is it so important?
• You think you can help?
• I don't need your help. - Disapproves

If that's meaningless to you, then tell me to go and I will.

No approval changes

Tell me about the Imperium.

Corypheus was a magister. (requires History Knowledge perk)

A Letter Regarding Felix

Requires some amount of positive approval
Mother Giselle will appear in the Great Hall after this cutscene. Speaking to her begins Last Resort of Good Men

I think the Venatori found out he was helping me. I think they killed him.

• I'm sorry for your loss. - Approves
• That's not surprising.
• They'll pay. - Slightly Approves

Tevinter could use more mages like him, those who put the good of others above themselves.

• Q Were you two involved?
• What about yourself?
• You might be idealizing him.
• Follow his example. - Approves

Third (?) Conversation

You're rather strapping. (If male Inquisitor)

• I could say the same of you. (Romance) - Slightly Approves

Tell me about Alexius.

Requires some amount of positive approval.

And then he... gave up. He stopped trying.

(Special) Why?

• I'm sorry. - Slightly Approves
• You mean you argued.
• You both gave up.

Too much pride, I suppose. Plus, I was busy drinking. One must have priorities.

No approval changes

One Less Venatori
