Questioning Beliefs (Isabela Act 2)

Questioning Beliefs
Location	The Hanged Man
Appearances	Dragon Age 2

Questioning Beliefs is a companion quest for Isabela in Dragon Age II Act 2.

Acquisition

The quest becomes available at 50% friendship or rivalry.

Note: When you start Act 2, you will have both this quest and Isabela's Ongoing Search active if Isabela is at 50% or more friendship/rivalry. Isabela's Ongoing Search will trigger first upon speaking to Isabela. After completing that quest, this one will initiate the next time you speak to her.

Walkthrough

Isabela will finish a card game and speak to you about her outlook on you thus far. You will get three dialog options, with the first and third each having the standard Good/Witty/Angry options for answers. The second one, however, will have a Flirt option as the middle option. Note that flirting with Isabela here can initiate a romance.

Isabela: friendship (+20) If you choose all diplomatic and/or humorous dialog options as listed below:

• First dialog choice being either diplomatic 'Thank You.' or humorous 'That's Not All.'
  
• Second dialog choice being diplomatic 'How So?'(The romance choice 'Just All right?', does not seem to influence the rivalry or friendship other than starting a potential romance. (Flirt option seems to give the same friendship on PC 1.03)
  
• Third choice being diplomatic 'It all worked out.' or humorous 'I wouldn't bet on it.'
  

Note: Option's and outcomes are different depending on whether you're pursuing rivalry or friendship. If you have a rivalry with Isabella, picking either the humorous or aggressive options for the first 2 steps will net Isabela: rivalry (+15). The final step doesn't appear to have any impact.

Note: If you chose the aggressive path on all answers, you get Isabela: rivalry (+15).

Result

• If this quest is completed and Hawke has at least 50% friendship/rivalry with her, Isabela will subsequently show up when she is least expected.
