I didn't like Isabela all that much. Anyone else concur?

Isabela was one of my favorites. She had a lot of humorous things to say, and I respect the fact that she's a strong woman. The only companions I didn't like were Aveline, Varric, and Merrill.

Can anyone help me?

I'm trying to get 50% friendship with Isabela but i'm finding it extremelt difficult. I dont want to romance or flirt but I've been using sarcy comments and humours but she doesnt respond to anything in the majoirty of quests I've done.

Im pulling my hair out quite literally. I dont want to lose her in my 2nd playthrough.


Unless the gifts can jump it up abit or known quest that boost alot.

Isabela is my favorite companion. I love her banter, etc.

Varic is my best bud, but Izzy is my girl.

I *think* the key is to remember she is a pirate, she is into profit and freedom, as well as humor. I know i got friendship from her every time I freed someone, told someone to do what they will (werewolf quest), and asked for cash.

Izzy & Merril were my BBFs after that thing with....Bethany.....
Fenris was my love, Varric like a brother, but Aveline and Anders + Sebastian weren't really for me.
Isabela does evolve, I think. The last word she says to you (freindship 100%) at the end fight.. beautiful =)

She's also not my least favorite companion, that would be Varric. >_>

BURN HER!!! SHUN! SHUN!!!

*coughs* Sorry about that. Really? I have a hardcore bromance going with the guy. He gives me no trouble, has no real expense to upgrade beyond some petty stuff and has a steampunk crossbow. Also, you get him early and can make him lockpick monkey. He is sweet to all the female party members and isn't a dick.

How can you hate my homie the dwarf? As for Isabella, call me a sucker, but I loved her in the first game and had to have her in the second. I've made her quite useful for my warrior. I give her a wad of talents for being a ninja and it has worked out great. I was annoyed that I lost friendship a couple times for what seemed to be no reason until I realized that she hated that I wasn't asking for money down.

Not a big fan. She isn't nearly as deep as the other companions. Yes, she has that "I wouldn't let myself love anyone and that's why I never stay in one place for very long...or one bed." But she is really selfish, and that's about it. However, no one can deny the hilarity of her banter.

I think my biggest problem with her is that she doesn't feel natural. All of the other companions feel like real people to me. She feels a little forced.

I respectfully disagree with the OP. I found Isabela to be equally lovable and exasperating, which just equaled so much fun. My guyHawke is totally gay for Fenris, but I couldn't resist letting her seduce him for a night. The bedroom scene with her is hot!

I'd like to respectively disagree. I played a snarky mage who was friends with Isabella, (no romance at all) and there are some very, very touching moments in the friendship path that reveal her as more than a one dimentional eye candy. If you pay attention to her interaction with Merril there are some very touching moments too.

She does come through for you if you give her the chance. :)




Indeed i totaly agree, had a romance whit Meril on my first caracther and friend whit Isabella, so i agree and when she threatend to cut my balls of i did anything to Meril ;-) i laughed at that a long time xD

I too dislike her. This playthrough (my second) I'm going to rival her and hand her over to the Qunari. Lame way to become the Champion but...

I love Isabella, once I figured her out so she would stop rivaling me. You just gotta joke around, not take crap, and be general carefree. I got her to stay for Act 3 as well, and her Questioning Beliefs Quest, had me smiling and wishing I could actually hug her through my television.:lol:

How did you get her to stay?

I really like Isabela. For one thing, for the romance yes its nice to have an overly sexy busty pirate chick, I mean hey why not. Fun character, good voice acting, and is fine on my party.

The one thing I hate though, which is a bug or lack of qc on Bioware's part, is how even with full friendship and romancing, Isabela still says the negative lines when you talk to her in your party. "Find you a ditch" and "I once knew a sailor like you died in a storm very sad" etc etc.

No Hawke I would build would get along with Isabella, I think.

i hate isabela she a **** even if you romance her when you doing the quest to find Zev she straight out has sex with him right in front of Hawke thats BS


She has sex with Zevran right in front on Hawke?

If she isn't in a romance with your Hawke she goes off to sleep with Zevran before he leaves.  If you are romancing her though, you can give her your blessing, ask her not to sleep with Zevran (she says she expects sex from you later on though if I recall), or have a threesome.

I thought we'd be best buddies drinking together in the Hanged Man but I didn't have many conversations with her and when she abandoned me I hardly cared. She showed her true colours ¬¬
I was a bit disappointed because she was hyped up a lot but she just seemed rather horrid to me a lot of the time. Which is actually nice ... I was expecting a female Jack Sparrow and what I got was something far more real. A loose and filthy pirate who can be charming when she wants and a *bleep* the rest of the time.

Isabela's party banter was amusing. Though, I can't wondering if Bioware was trying to make her as replusive as possible. She and more than a few people point out that she sleeps around alot. She even offers to have sex with Zev right in front of Hawke. And apparently she doesn't bathe regularly and it's implied that she has a STD.

But who cares about all that? She has big boobs.

I hate what she represents. Virtually everything she says contains sexual innuendo. Occasionally it can be funny, but most often it's the kind of humor that only a person who laughs at the word "boobies" would enjoy. She adopts the Lady Gaga philosophy toward pants. Her chest is much larger than the already busty average DA female. Even my father, normally not prone to such things, had to: stop, stare, comment on, stare more, comment again, stare a little bit more before continuing through the room. She is fanservice in all its glory, or lack thereof.

Hate? Never. She's my favourite character in game. I didn't know what to think when she ran away with the relic, but she came back and that's was awesome. I knew I could count on her. Isabela was with me from the beginning to the end. And tbh - If DLC will show up or expansion she MUST be in these DLCs with my FemaleHawke of course :)

Besides, I don't mind when she talking about sex. Honestly? That's pretty funny, especially when Isabela talking with Bethany or Merrill. The best thing is that ( when you romance with her ) she really care about you. I remember when she said that to my FemaleHawke. That's was just great.

I did the same!  I romanced merrill- and isabella really was rather sweet. 
Warning me to take care of Merrill, and then after her personal quest in act 3 - invited me to sail the world with her  - WITH merrill! 

Shes SO adorable with Merrill- Constantly refering to her as "Kitten." Telling her she'll teach her to do body shots...and teasing her when she starts up a relationship with Hawke.

It was rather cute.
Honestly i've never had a character in a bioware game that i DIDNT romance that i had the level of "WOOO WE"RE BUDDIES!" feeling with as i did with Isabella and to a lesser extent  Aveline.

Its like......whats.....whats the word for....bromance with...two......girls..uh....Um....I dunno! but it was like Garrius/Shep level of friendship! 


I dont get all the Isabella hate. She's a good character! A little over sexualized, but id take that any day over  "THE LYRIUM BURNS ME! *ROAR* MAGES ARE MEAN! BROODING!!" or  " O NOES JUSTICE MUST HAVE....er...JUSTICE!"

Everyone needs a shamlessly promiscuous pirate lady!

Is Garrius the gay alternative persona of Garrus?

Anyway, my feelings on Isabella.

There are none, I was playing a hawke mage who went the diplomatic/good natured root and I found it very hard to keep her friendship up, I also barely found time to take her with my group since Varric was my best buddy, Aveline the tank and Fenris was my stasis ownerer.

She took the book and left, also left a note which meant I couldn't get Ambrosia for later in game, I was hoping then, that I'd bump into her with the chance to murder her.

Bioware let me down that day.

I don't mind promiscuity; she just looks ridiculous.  It isn't sexy to look like your chest is about to explode.

I didn't think I'd like her, but she is hilarious. I like that she is above silly things like being ashamed of her sexual desires and caring if someone calls her a "pirate hag" and turns her down.
But a girl can't possibly have a personality if she presents herself in a sexual way, right? Then she's simply a ****, nothing more.

I just want to say in regards to combat, give her some really nice daggers and a decent build and she is so freaking beastly it's crazy. The games tactics actually worked just fine for her, and constantly throughout battles she was just vanishing and zipping around the field outright murdering everything she touched. I was pleased.

In terms of personality, yeah, I've never been a fan of numerous sex jokes personally, which is what she mostly is until the very end when she starts to let her "humor shield" drop a bit.

Isabela's attitude of both teasing and protecting Merrill is the highlight of the character for me.
