I've never had this convo with Varric in 4 playthroughs, 3 romancing Isabela and 1 romancing Merril, will update after I finish my current playthrough this weekend

Only done 1 playthrough so far, where I romanced Anders and made friends with everyone (expect Isabella - who left at the end of act 2 :<) and I never had this quest come up. That makes at least 4 quests not triggering like they're supposed to, "Mourning" (auto-completes), "Who needs a rescue?" (Guy just stands there doing nothing) and "A New Path" (final dialogue triggers at the start of act 3, rather then after the quest is done) being the other three. Hope they'll all get fixed in the patch.

Hmmm... This time I'm romancing Anders. Just randomly talked with Izzy in the bar and she questions Hawke about her romance with Anders. It was a nice little chat =) so I didn't get it as a quest but could do it anyways. Wonder if all companions have something to say about the romances? Guess I just have to visit everyone and give it a try.

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.

And you need to be sleeping with Anders.

Actually, Makeshift riot, the whole point is that it should trigger for all of the romantic partners, not only Anders.

Here's hope the fix will make it to 1.02 along with other dialog fixes...

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.

D: I though I quoted some one else. [/losing my mind]

Then I shall play around with it some more.
For Anders it showed up with a quest marker I believe. I havent gotten it on any other playthroughs, but I have one that I think is in or close to act 2 with Fen. So I will see if I can get it to prompt by just talking to him in the pub.
There are several other convos that happen w/o quest marks so perhaps it is just an issue with that.

Edit: Nope. :/

I can definitely say that it triggers for Anders, but not for Fenris. Had Varric very very very high up on points, all the quests done... nothing with Fenris, got it with Anders.


Same here.  I thought maybe, since Varric knows everything, he knows Fenris called it off and didn't want to bring up a painful subject with Hawke.

On a playthru romancing Merrill I did get a convo from Isabela but there was no flag above head and didnt notice any type of quest entry I just happened to click on her in the hanged man and that was it. I didn't know varric and others had similiar responses. Gonna have to play again... or darn. ;)

It's weird. I was just talking to Varric trying to get him concerned with my love life when all of the sudden...

"Hey Hawke, how's it going?"
"Oh, alright I guess."
"So how is it going with Isabell--ASSUMING CONTROL!"

I'm on my sixth run and, after sleeping with Fenris I flirted with Anders and got the convo. The only other time I got it was when I romanced Anders on the first run. I didn't get it when I slept with both of the boys last game with M!Hawke.

I've only gotten this romancing Anders on both PC and Xbox360. I didn't get it romancing Fenris for PC or XBOX360.

Looks like it will be fixed in 1.02 :)

From the patch progress report: 

- The effects of various follower talents and item properties are
now being properly removed and re-applied when loading and saving.
- Party members who are resurrected during a fight now rejoin combat properly.
- Hawke no longer gains random spells or talents after using the Maker's Sigh potion, then saving and reloading.
-
The “Duty” plot will now appear on the Chanter’s Board even if the
player accepted all of the board’s quests before installing the Exiled
Prince premium content.
- In the “Finders Keepers” plot, if the
player leaves Woodrow’s Warehouse before finding the crate, it is now
possible to return to the warehouse to complete the quest.
- Merril no longer refers to the aftermath of “A New Path” before the plot has been completed.
- Aveline’s final armor upgrade is now available during the “Favor and Fault” plot.
- Varric is no longer confused about which character Hawke has been romancing.
- Various other gameplay and story-scripting issues no longer appear.


Yay for patch :)

^ I Thought that reffered to the fact that Varric will ALWAYS mentions Isabela in the ending if you sleep with her.

As for this conversation, I've slept with Isabela and Anders. Only the one for Anders activated. I've seen the one for Fenris on Youtube though.

Just to add my $.02 ...

On PS3 I have only ever gotten this conversation with Varric when romancing Anders. I completed a Fenris romance and an Isabela romance (different characters/playthroughs) and while I have had comments about the romance from others, I never had that specific quest w/ Varric.

Can anybody confirm if this has been fixed to trigger properly with the 1.02 patch? I'm on my first playthrough and just starting Act 2, so I'm very curious.

I just loaded a save where I've finished Blackpowder courtesy and Offered and Lost and did A bitter pill (fulfilling the trigger criteria, yes?), but Varrick is still obvious.

So, if the fix was completed, it didn't make it to 1.02, or the game isn't recognizing it retroactively. :(

Ah well.

He didn't recognize my Isabela romance retroactively so I assume this is one of those things that require a fresh playthrough.

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...

Thanks for the update, Ms. Kirby :).

Say, how many cookies would one have to liberate from fat slovenly children to bribe the staff to put this fix into 1.03? :P
