Seriously, I agree to help people and get rivalry. What's the key to getting her friendship up. Also, I've never been able to talk to her one-on-one in the tavern. How do I unlock those conversations? I also only taked to the one guy during her avct 1 personal quest with her in my party after completeing it. Did I miss out on a flirt option? Also, how do I get flirt options to open up with her/where can I get approval and how can I take sidequests without her diapproving?

As a general rule, Isabela doesn't like it when you stick your nose into someone else's business. Everytime someone mentions a problem, and Hawke goes "Me! Me! Let me help! I want to help!" Isabela rolls her eyes and groans inwardly.

That said, gaining rivalry is not a bad thing. Isabela may find Hawke insufferable for a while, but be consistent enough about your do-gooder ways, and Izzy may come to realize that there's something more to life than being a self-serving wench.

It's friendship or rivalry. You just have to have enough of either.

You can have a rivalry romance with all the LIs.

I may be wrong but doesn't sebastian demand 100% friendship?


Hmm. Sebastian. I'll just quote Dave Gaider on this one.

Sebastian is not really a love interest.

But... agreeing to help Fenris isn't sticking my nose into his business, is it? He rather involved me in his business by setting me up...? Was there an option to extort coin from him that I missed?


Isabela doesn't enjoy risking her own skin to help others. Especially if no coin (or fun) is involved. Perhaps I should have phrased it that way instead.

I was hoping for a rivalry romance with Isabela in my next playthrough, but the official guide says you "have to be on a friendship path to complete the romance with Isabela, though this isn't necessary for the first steps."

Does that mean the guidebook is wrong (I hope)?


You shouldn't have to be on the friendship path with her to complete the romance. I'm fairly certain I wrote rivalry lines for her romance. That bit of misinformation probably just slipped through. Oops.

Sheryl can you explain her take on justice? I know she tends to approve of killing people who deserve it but does she have a different reason for it? I know with Anders she argues about the idea of Justice, that's why I am wondering.


You've probably already noticed that Isabela's an impulsive sort of creature. Generally she's not thinking too far ahead when she encourages Hawke to do away with people who deserve it (like Kelder). She's certainly doesn't maintain a very consistent moral outlook. She does what feels right at the moment. In Kelder's case, she's thinking, "This man is a broken, cowardly abuser. And he wants to die. Do it already." If Kelder had four Tal-Vashoth bodyguards standing by, she might feel differently.

And sometimes Isabela argues with Anders (and other followers) just to provoke them. ;)
