Legacy party banter discussion (SPOILERS)

I LOVED them. The one with Merrill and Varric talking about griffins and Varric mentions that "swooping is bad" really had me smiling. Also, the one between Merrill and ANders kind of had me sad, I mean, why would Merrill want "dirty spells?" Does my Hawke not please her enough???
In short, I think Bioware hit party banter gold (at least for a DLC) for Legacy. What do you guys think??

It's not party banter, but Hawke's little jig when you choose the "I miss your smile." dialogue option when talking to Bethany made me laugh.

There was some quality Fenris and Anders bickering (which I love, because apparently I'm a masochist). There was also an interesting banter between Fenris and Bethany that revealed some deep stuff about Bethany's feelings on being a Grey Warden.

Though several stood out, I'll post this gem:
Varric: "We've passed another broken pillar - you know what that means?"
Isabela: "Everybody take a drink!"
Beautful...

I loved the party banter I got as well. I thought the dialogue overall was very well done.

I never got this banter about her feelings on the wardens, what did she say?

(possibly a bit paraphrased)
Varric: "Oh that's nice."
Hawke: "What's so nice?"
Varric: "I was just wondering what an awfully foreboding place could look like and... here it is."

Varric: "If he pulls a dragon out of his ass, I'm outta here."

Aveline: "Not fun, per say, but yes, it does feel like a candy shop full of villains."
Someone needs to compile it all for YouTube.

Varric - "You really want to encounter a Spit Mage?"
Hawke- "For variety sure"

Fenris: You must hate the darkspawn after what they did to your home.
Bethany: I have a lot of hate, but it's not so focused. It's... deeper for a Warden. It's been a struggle to let that go.
Fenris: But you have?
Bethany: Let's call it a work in progress.
Then later, she says to Hawke:
Bethany: That corruption. That's what I was saved from. You wouldn't have let it go that far, though. You'd have done anything.
Hawke: It shouldn't have been necessary.
Bethany: Maybe. But thanks.

Anders: Pithed any good mages lately? That's what you do now, right?
Anders: It must wear on you, given your lineage. No wonder you're quiet.
Carver: If I could take you without risking my sister, you'd never see daylight again. Clear?
Anders: Oh yes ser, please, ser.
It made me laugh knowing the big balm, and it made me laugh harder when Anders tried to prove Carver right, again.

Isabella: You should get new shoes...actual shoes! Like mine.
Merrill: Oh now, I keep losing things in boots. Like marbles. I sometimes drop them and they fall into the boots and it takes forever to get them back out.
Isabella. Is that why I keep finding marbles in my boots?
Merrill: Uh no! Umm look over there, a rock.

I have a question for the devs:
Were the dialogue recorded together with the main game, or were the voice actors contracted specally to do voice work for this DLC?
Now, let me state that I do not think that just because some preliminary work for the DLC was done while making the main game means BioWare is trying to gouge us by making us pay for it. I think the more they are able to plan ahead, the better it is for us.

I'd imagine they were contracted to do the various DLCs when they signed up to do the main game. At least that would be the prudent move on Bioware's part.ThePasserby wrote...
I enjoy the fact that your companions react to what's going on around them. In many of the previous DLCs, for both the DA and ME series, it's mostly just the Warden, or Shepard, who talks and reacts to the plot as it progresses, while the companions follow in silence, not talking, as if they have difficulty following the events. This, to me, is a step up. Good job.

Isabela: So Varric, everybody has nicknames.
Varric: That's right. Rivaini.
Isabela: ... but everybody calls you Varric, that's not fair.
Varric: That's because it's my story.
Isabela: What?
Varric: Nothing.

Since I played a post-campaign save, everyone in my party was maxed out except for Carver-- so it's a pleasant surprise to see that you CAN get friendship/rivalry points for some of the conversation decisions you take. I think I'll enjoy playing this game at an earlier campaign point just to see if there are friendship/rivalry gains for any of the other party members.

There is a similar one between Varric and Aveline where she is asking about how one of the stories he is writing about a Templar Knight Commander ends and he says how the Characters tell the story he has no input in how it ends and so he can't say. :happy:
Definitly hope for more of the same (as in more party banter) in future DLCs.
Edit: @Miskatonica yeah definitly was more 'Hawke' involvement I think in the banter through the DLC

According to the story discussion thread, you can actually trigger a romance scene with Sebastian and Hawke where she's jealous of Bethany? THIS I have to see!
YES.
