This conversation is all about how she doesn't like violence and how she used non-violent means (=seduction) whenever possible. Nothing about enjoying killing.Um, yes she did. Talk to her after you've done all the Marjolaine dialogue options, the one about Orlesian spies and the terrible things you hear about them. She does not deny it at all. She enjoyed the chase, the "game" and the kill. Especially screwing with people's minds. And this you only learn after being in her company for a long time.
We don't know if she became a bard willingly. It's likely, but not certain. And she was actually under a heavy influence from Marjolaine, so I could easily pull the "she was just doing what she was told to" card as well. I think we can at least agree on the fact that Leliana can be easily manipulated by a person she loves.And I know exactly what convo you are talking about, with Zevran. I do not forget it. I also understand it in context. he is an assassin. That is his life. One he did not choose, but was chosen for him, a life from which there really is no escape. But he admits it up front, almost shortly after you meet him, and does not deny it, nor try to pretty it up.
I personally consider Leliana and Zevran pretty much equal, as far as moralizing on their past goes. That's why I find all this "Omg Leliana is so evil, but my poor Zev, he's so pure and innocent" rather ridiculous.My point is, that others such as Sabriana have made, is that people do all sorts of moral and reasoning acrobatics to excuse or justify the less than stellar pasts of otgher party members, yet when it comes to Zevran, they go out of their way to basically convict and sentance him. And personally, I think the reasons are pretty obvious why this is done, especially when you consider the sort of persons who do this.
And no, I don't forget that line Ejoslin mentioned. You, however, seem to conveniently ignore the fact that it is a part of conversation about how precisely that thing ("part of me loves hunting people") is what terrifies her and how she wants to get away from it.
