High approval, PC romanced Solas Blackwall: I’ve been meaning to ask… Solas hasn’t come back? Send word? Anything?

Dialogue options:

General: No. [1]
General: Please don’t. [2]
General: I hope he’s dead. [3]

2 - General: Please don’t. PC: Don’t ask, please. It still hurts. Blackwall: I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have said anything. Scene ends.

3 - General: I hope he’s dead. PC: He’s a know-it-all prick, and I hope he’s strung up somewhere. Blackwall: Right. Wound still raw, then.

Sera still with Inquisition Blackwall: And “know-it-all prick,” huh. I see you’ve been spending time with Sera. Scene ends.

—

Blackwall: Need me for anything? Blackwall: Inquisitor.

1 - Dialogue options:

Investigate (low approval): Why are you here? [2]
Investigate (was not freed to atone): How are the Wardens doing? [3]
Investigate (freed to atone): You’re back to being Rainier? [4]
Investigate: You and Josephine… [5]
Investigate: Thoughts on the council? [6]
Investigate: This is a bit of a reunion. [7]
General: I have to go. [8]

2 - Investigate: Why are you here? PC: So, why are you back? As I recall, you weren’t that fond of me. Blackwall: The Inquisition is more than one person. I have other friends here. Trust me, I’ll be trying my best not to get in your way. [back to 1]

3 - Investigate: How are the Wardens doing? PC: What’s it like being a Warden now?

Blackwall (high approval): Things are in upheaval. There have been heated arguments about the future of the Order. (Sighs.) I wouldn’t be surprised if we tore ourselves apart. [back to 1]

Blackwall (low approval): I probably shouldn’t say. I can, however, offer reassurance that there are no future plans for a demon army. Just in case you were worried. [back to 1]

4 - Investigate: You’re back to being Rainier? PC: You’re more comfortable being called by your real name now? Blackwall: Comfortable? Not quite yet. I didn’t want to be Rainer for such a long time. To be quite frank, he was an ass. But he’s—I’ve changed. And reclaiming my name has allowed me to reconnect with people I haven’t seen in years. Family. It wouldn’t have happened without you. [back to 1]

5 - Investigate: You and Josephine… PC: You don’t seem to get flowers for Josephine anymore. Blackwall: You only just noticed? It’s been years, and we both knew it was a momentary infatuation. She still teases me about it. Every time I walk past, she sighs and says her desk lacks cheer. [back to 1]

6 - Investigate: Thoughts on the council? PC: What do you think’s going to happen at the Exalted Council? Blackwall: Maker. I have no idea. Politics always make my head spin. The Inquisition shouldn’t have to give in to whenever some prissy noble gets their knickers wedged somewhere. [back to 1]

7 - Investigate: This is a bit of a reunion. PC: It’s nice to have everyone back in the same place again. Blackwall: (Chuckles.) I have to admit, I missed it. What does it mean when we need a huge diplomatic talk or the world ending just to bring us together?

Blackwall (Sera still with the Inquisition): I got the chance to have a few drinks with Sera. Missed that girl.

Blackwall: It’s still a little awkward talking to Cassandra. But the Commander appears to have forgiven me, finally.

[Back to 1]

8 - General: I have to go. PC: Until later.

Blackwall (romanced): At your pleasure, my lady. Blackwall: Take care.
