“elfy hurt too much”
Trying something a little different, folks. What I have for you today is some rare dialogue that I found by digging through the game file with a mod maker program. In order to see this dialogue, you have to be a female Lavellan, romance Sera, and break up with her after “What Pride Had Wrought” over your differing religious views.
When you speak to her at the Winter Palace in Trespasser, after you visit the Ruins the first time, you can have the following conversation:
Inquisitor: When you start talking about elves, it’s hard to tell if it’s about them or about you.
Sera: Ugh. And when you do that, I don’t know if we’re talking about what we’re talking about, or if we’re talking about Mythal. Again.
Yes, I was a bit shit. No, it wasn’t fun. Yes, we maybe could have compromised. No, it isn’t about elfy stuff now.
Inquisitor: Now you think you could compromise? You drew a hard line at the time.
Sera: Well, now I could slap your arse and say, “That’s very interesting.” But back then, “elfy” hurt too much. Because I was never the right kind.
It would have been bad, anyway. It’s like Giselle, patting heads but moving the Maker higher. Saying one thing but meaning another.
We were grand but kind of broken. So we stopped. And maybe that’s good? To be stupidly true, even if it ends things?
Inquisitor: A shame it ended like it did.
Sera: It really is. We’re alike on that.
So…friends? Because everything seems like it’s ending, and maybe it’s been too long to sit on this much growly?
Inquisitor: I think so too, Sera. Time to let it go.
Sera: If you’ve no plans later, do you think we could survive a drink for every time things were stupid?
Inquisitor: (Chuckles.) Unlikely.
about the party banter that's supposed to trigger when you enter the Eluvian for the last time: it's easy to miss bc it seems to be bugged and randomly not trigger at all (it didn't for me). Saving before u enter and then evtl. reloading should help
GOOD TIPS
I heard this from a couple other people too, so I’ll just post this for others who have the same problem!
I was just wondering, when does Dorian (or any of them) say that thing about it having been an honor to fight and he knew you'd break his heart? I finished Trespasser with a romanced Dorian and can't recall him saying that D;
All the posts I’ve tagged with “Finale” are variations on the conversation that triggers after you walk through the Winter Palace eluvian for the last time, ie, right before you head to the Darvaarad. It’s one of those conversations that you can easy walk out of on accident, so you may have missed it! Also the “it’s been an honor” line is optional. It’s the top dialogue option at that point in the conversation.
do you have a main blog or something else, if we want to keep following you?
Yeah! My main blog is @swordwitch, where I am much more opinionated, and shitpost-y, lol, but hey, happy to have you.
That’s it!
I’m all through, folks. Huge thanks to everyone who ever sent me a nice message or left a sweet comment in the tags. I don’t know what the future of this blog is (apart from some organizational type things) but hey, I’m open to ideas. For now, I’ve run out of nonsense to post, so I’ll have to stop posting it.
It’s been a pleasure. ✨❤👋
