Can we please an get acknowledgement of the Lace Harding romance somewhere? In Trespasser, it's finally explicitly referenced by Vivienne that she and the Inquisitor have some kind of relationship. And she ends up a high ranking member of the new Inquisition working closely with him or her in the final scene. 

 

Regardless of what comes next, I think that relationship has the right to be remembered in the Keep, otherwise it might just as well never have happened. It might not be a full romance like the others but if Tallis gets a romance tile, Harding deserves one too.

To try and spin her lack of presence in the Keep positively, if she turns out to be the "bridge" returning NPC in DA4, she might be romanceable. And Bioware has made it clear that they don't want to have a character be able to be a romance option for more than one game. So Harding was a trial run for the devs in DAI, and from the positive feedback she has, they might make her an actual full romance with much more content present in the next game.

Maybe, I don't know.  But one of the reasons I wanted her to be in the Keep is so she wouldn't just act like nothing happened if we do see her again. If she does become a full fledged love interest in a future game, she'd still have the awkward unresolved quasi-romance from her first game hanging over everything she does. Personally I'd find that pretty uncomfortable when interacting with her.

 

I mean if for some reason they decided to bring Tallis back as a companion in another DA game, the brief flirtation in Mark of the Assassin wouldn't disqualify her from being a LI, would it?

Hmm do we know if there are any additional tiles planned for the Keep before DA4 or is it pretty set now that the final DLC is out? You're right, there is no flag so if the next PC asks her about the Inquisitor there will be only one response. Maybe they'll keep it vague and she always says something like "I greatly admire her/him but had to follow duty and leave their side." This could be interpreted as close friendship or light romance?

Strongly second this!!!

Even if the following games eventually do not include this flag, I would still LOVE to see this important aspect of inquisitor's life being recorded in the the tapestry.

Anyway, since this is my last chance to talk about Lace Harding here, I'm going to mention the importance of including her in the Keep again. I had been meaning to say this for a while actually. 

 

The Keep is the most important part of the whole issue, in my opinion. Regardless of whether we see her again in Dragon Age 4.

 

If she doesn't appear again, then the Keep needs to record the in game Scout Harding romance because she'd be the Inquisitor's love interest, and all the others got to be recorded. 

 

If she appears again, then the next game should definitely record the differences in her relationship with the Inquisitor, because they should affect her future content with a future protagonist. 

 

It's really not fair that she's the one romance option excluded from the Keep, even in comparison to some of the other quasi-love interests. It is a choice I made in the game.

 

Unfortunately Bioware seems to be done with editing the Keep for a long time now, but maybe they would do more work on it if another DA game gets announced and made, so theoretically there's still time to add her.

 

They seem to know she's popular, but Trespasser almost felt like it was mocking people who wanted more recognition for he relationship with the Inquisitor. And Bioware still should keep hearing the message that she's important to be remembered.

 

I'm going to try to keep the torch burning for the cause in the meantime.
