It's sort of like how in Doom: Repercussions of Evil, it's left up to the reader to decide whether John was ever hearing any radio communications from a Cernel Joson or whether the "demons" he had to kill were in fact people his zombie-addled brain hallucinated as monsters.

Ten-year-old slightly infamous fanfics are relevant to this discussion, right?


It's like the Jacob's Ladder of fanfiction. The entire story is about zombie John coming to terms with his zombieness.

Well, she's upfront about inconsistencies in Leliana's song.  She's quite insistent that she's telling the truth when she originally tells the tale to the Warden

 

My impression of Leliana's Song is that we are basically playing through the equivalent of one of Varric's exaggerations. The action in the DLC is framed by Leliana's narration, so its a replaying of a story Leliana is telling long after the fact. And the tone & dialogue used by Leliana suggests that she is telling the tale in a similar manner as Varric, and like with Cassandra, to someone who isn't a close friend or lover. She's attempting to tell a good story and regale whoever the audience is. She's playing the role of a bard rather than spelling her guts in an intimate fashion, as she did with the Warden. If I remember correctly, I believe she also admits to embellishing while telling the tale. I believe she says something along the lines of, "Most of the details are true."

 

Where the are inconsistencies between the Leliana's Song DLC and the story she tells the Warden, I side with the conversation with the Warden being the more truthful of the two. Otherwise, where there are no contradictions, the story in Leliana's Song is accurate.

 

That's what I've heard on the road anyhow, take it for what it is.  B)

"No, John. You are the demons." is always relevant to a discussion.

Why settle for contentment when you could have bliss! (just teasing)

I quite enjoyed Morrigan's romance during my Male warden playthrough, I found Leliana's less enjoyable since I didn't get the hair convo. 

 

Morrigan's romance really stands up but I think I prefer her friendship more. Being called her sister just struck me to the heart more for some reason.

"Live well my friend...live gloriously." 

 

Claudia Black's delivery of that final line alone made her friendship arc so damn gud. Almost got eyeball sweat.

@BioMarkDarrah words cannot express how upset i am about the loss of Lelianna as a romance option in DA:I way to **** on your fans.

@User Lelianna may still be in an active relationship. We don't want to infringe on that.

I like Morrigan more as a friend then as a lover.

 

I still enjoy Leliana and Morrigan talking with each other when I have them with me. I like to see the 2 of them together in a scene talking in DAI

I seriously hope this isn't in reference to the Warden.

 

The word 'may' is suspicious in this context.

I really don't know what it is with people butchering Leliana's name.

 

Even the official soundtrack did it.

The way i see may is because well you can miss her you can kill her you can break up with her thats how im seeing that may as.

He seems to be implying that Leliana isn't definitely in a relationship but it's possible that she is and thus, she is set to be unavailable--based on whatever chance that she is already in a relationship. 

 

In other words, it sounds like the whole thing is player-determined. Hence, the Warden. 

 

But I could just be reading too much into it.

if she was romanced she's in an active relationship, if she wasn't she isn't. If she was not romanced in your canon she's just...not interested. There.  =]

I think it would also further complicate dealing with all the possible romance states.  They already have to deal with the state of any other active romance for the Inquisitor and now Leliana's various states with romance with the Warden.

That is the basic logic behind my reasoning.

 

A while back I stated that it wouldn't completely surprise me if it turns out we're being trolled and Leli is, in fact, a possible option. Although I don't actually expect that, part of me hasn't ruled out the possibility just yet.

That's also occurred to me. Could be as simple as a technical challenge, which would definitely make sense (though probably not to everyone ;) ).

I find (glorious, smokey, long, curly) blonde hair attractive, but I am unsure I enjoy it on Leliana. If I were going to change up her hair color, I'd probably go for black.

This make me feel like I missed out on good stuff again.  But I remain content with Morrigan...


Morrigan is awesome, but I do wonder how players would have responded to her in the long term if Witch Hunt had never come out.
