I liked Tallis, I thought she meshed well with the rest of the cast, and I think it's almost inevitable that she'll turn up again. Part of me wonders if she'll join in the post-game expansion I hope is planned, but I'm not sure how well that'd mesh with Varric's narrative. He is a compulsive liar, though.


I'd hope not, my railroaded Hawke doesn't need to be railroaded more. :(

If Tallis does turn up again and is still acting like a bona fide member of the Ben'Hassrath, I want a very good in game reason as to why this is so (after both Redemption and MoA). And if she is still a fully paid up member of the Qun, then I want the option to tell her go take a hike and wipe the smug, superior, self satisfied smile off her face. If, on the other hand, she had finally seen sense and genuinely ditched the Qun, then there is a chance she might actually grow on me.

Something tells me that the next time we see her, she'll be A Tal-Vashoth.

The qunari that executes Petrice, says that they do not abandon their own and yet they were avenging someone who had only just converted to the Qun and had done so quite openly. Why would they not be equally concerned for their spies?


That qunari, and the rest of his companions, including the Arishok, are not the Ariqun.  The Ariqun is more a politician, right?  Whereas the Arishok and his men have more of a military mindset: leave no man behind.  Even a qunari is a person beneath his or her religion and will act accordingly (presumably).  

Just my thoughts :)

Sorry to dredge up an ancient thread but thought it was easier than starting a new one.

Is there any confirmation of where Tallis is headed after MotA? It's for a potential fic...

Having just finished a playthrough of MotA, I can say that Tallis doesn't say where she's headed next, though one can presume she's off to destroy the list of qunari agents. Hawke theorizes in his/her journal afterwards that she's still in Kirkwall.

No confirmation but at the end of MotA there is a journal written by Hawke which says Hawke "spotted a red-headed elf in the market just the other day, and there was something familiar in the way she moved, despite the servant's clothing and all the Orlesian braiding." Full letter from wiki

So I think it is possible to say she is in Orlais maybe working undercover for the Qunari or under her own terms. I think that is the best assumption one can make. Hope it helps out with your fic.

Also yay the Tallis thread is resurrected! ^_^ I loved Tallis I hope to see more of her in DA3 and if possible as a companion and LI. But just seeing her again would make me happy.

Oh and saw this picture the other day and thought it was adorable! ^_^

From a purely logistical point of view, I doubt it. The Guild Season 6 was filming while voice recording was going on I'm afraid. So they'd have had to make an exception for FD to do her voiceovers if she had a large part...

Tallis was the most interesting character in the entire game for me. Would appreciate her coming back!

I agree i think the next time we do see tallis she will be Tal-Vashoth. I hope that means she will be available to travel with the Inquisitor and possibly become a LI. suppose we will see in the coming months fingers crossed.

Not sure about that.
Tallis wasn't popular it seems with the majority of the fans.
Not Felicia Days fault, MOTA was poorly written imo.
Some fans don't seem to like Day personally , although they deny it and get mad at me for saying so.
I kinda like Day actually , makes more enemies on the BSN for me rotfl, and would like to Tallis return .
More likely she'll just be an npc though.

I agree. I think it made a lot of missteps that could have been easily avoided.

I suppose it depends on the person. I disliked Tallis personally from the web series and the DLC, but I enjoyed Veronica a lot (from New Vegas), and my Courier even destroyed the Mojave Brotherhood chapter in part because it protected her from them. I think the comments by one developer about how some players wouldn't dislike Tallis if she was a man, and how some women perceived Tallis, rubbed people the wrong way.

I just finished my third playthrough of Mark of the Assassin a few minutes ago and I'm trying hard to come up with any reason why any of my Hawkes thus far would go along with Tallis in the first place, and even less reason once her deception is revealed.

My problem with Tallis is that I feel Hawke has almost no reason at all to cooperate with her.

I didn't want to accompany her after the initial meeting in Hightown, but the narrative is locked in even though she hadn't convinced me to go along.

Once we were at the chateau, things were fine until we were captured. At that point, she doesn't do anything to make me sympathetic to her mission after all her deception was revealed. It had the negative effect of making me less sympathetic to the Qunari in general when I was reasonable sympatheitc to them prior to meeting Tallis.

She also gives no compelling reason to aid her when it comes to deciding whether or not to take the path with her. Saying something to the effect of "I can't tell you and I know that's a hard sell" just makes me reject the option. Saying "innocent people are going to die" is a meaningless claim unless one can back it up and Tallis does not do this.

I would have killed her at any number of opportunities after leaving the chateau had the narrative permitted it. I would have left her to her fate and let her take on Salit and Prospero alone if the narrative permitted it. I would have taken the scroll from her violently had the narrative permitted it.

I dunno...

Every narrative game railroads the player at times, but to quote Too Much Joy, it felt like "I was trapped in a book about someone else."

I really wanted to like Tallis. I wanted her to convince me to come to her aid. But I'm left angry by her inability to do so and the empty apologies she gives for not explaining anything properly.

^^This. Tallis gave my Hawke absolutely no reason at all to trust her or help her.

I agree with a friend of mine. If she does come back, I hope those of us who want to murderknife her get that option.

Mm, same. I liked her, but the whole 'let's go and help the totalitarian scary bastards because I say it's a good idea'... I couldn't bring myself to do it :( wonder if there's any drawbacks to that...

 

But what I was wondering: when does the 'I got your nose!' line come up? I can't seem to find it again

In the tunnels, just before you decide whether or not to stick with Tallis or leave her behind.

 

Personally, I help Tallis because whether or not the list is found won't impact the qunari at all. They don't care enough about its discovery to send anyone after Salit, which is why Tallis had to go rogue. It will, however, probably result in more than a few innocent lives lost.

 

Also, Duke Prosper is a d*** and I kind of want to punch his face in.

Yes, although you get to do that anyway ;)

But I understand the sentiment. Wanting to pull one over Prosper is as good a reason as any :)
