Third playthrough, and I can't seem to get it to trigger at all.

I watched youtube video where Varrick apparently brings up the topic of your romantic involvments at some point, but as I've said It never have happened to me. Have him at full friend too, visit hanged man often, talk and do companion quests as they pop up...

Anyone know the exact criteria for that conversation/quest to appear?

It should only require that you've slept with one of the romances and you've done at least one of the Qunari plots in Act 2.

Is it Lady Hawke only?  I've played through twice as a male!Hawke romancing Fenris and have never seen it.


No, it's supposed to be either gender.

Hmm my Hawke slept with both Isabela and Merrill but didn't get anything like that even though game is in act 3 now. He didn't commit to either relationship though, could that make a difference?


It should still trigger. I specifically put in a response for the case where you either broke up with your romance, or (as in the case of Izzy and Fenris) you slept with them and they never called you again. It does sound like there's a bug here, though.

I'm not sure how I'd know if Isabela "never called me again." You mean if she leaves at the end of of Act 2?


Both Isabela and Fenris, after their sex scene, do a sort of, "Well, that was fun, but this was a one-night stand." talk with you.

You should get this conversation if you've slept with someone (whether or not they move in) once you have completed any of the following quests:

Night Terrors
Blackpowder Courtesy
Following the Qun
Offered and Lost

So if you've done one of those, and you don't get a journal update to talk to Varric, then there's definitely something wrong. Trying to track it down now.

There's definitely a bug here. I used the game console to try to force it active to see what all the fuss was about, and something isn't being set right. When I use the debug script to activate it, Varric correctly notes that Hawke is with "the Rivaini", but then he says that Merrill is a sweet girl that's a whole bunch of crazy. This is in a playthrough where Hawke has never flirted with Merrill ever, and has only spent time with Isabela. I've tried playing with the romance flags on Isabela, but the Merrill script doesn't let me mess with hers.


That one, I knew about. The links got messed up at some point, and that's been addressed for the upcoming patch. Why the conversation is not occurring at all for some people, however, I don't know yet. I'll look into it.

I only ever got the speech with Anders I think... or am I hallucinating from playing too much?


I have the sneaking suspicion that it is only appearing when you romance Anders, because he is the only case that didn't have busted links, and I expected, once I saw they were out of whack, to see complaints like, "Why does Varric start out talking about my Fenris romance and then end up telling me about Isabela?" Tech design is trying to track it down now.

Has anybody gotten this conversation about a love interest other than Anders without using the console?

I've only had it trigger for Anders. I've had others want to talk about other relationships.

So verification from Dev?

I would assume that Varric's aversion to your Ander's romance is because he knows what he is planning.


You quoted me two posts ago? I am the dev who wrote this conversation, and it has cases for all romances, which evidently nobody is getting to see.

This particular bug isn't fixed yet. It's still open. The bug that got fixed was the scrambled links. (Which you still won't see until the conversation-won't-fire bug gets taken care of.)

This makes me very sad. :crying:

At least I can fire it via console this time.


David Sims is heroically facing down the *giant carnivorous rabbits or whatever it is that tech designers do in order to fix scripting problems, and hopefully, this will be in the next patch.





*I'm pretty sure there are no giant carnivorous rabbits in the tech design office. At least, I hope not. Although that would explain why it seems like people go missing in there...

This fix should be in the new patch, yes.
