Everyone knows that role-playing games from Bioware have one interesting feature - you can, through various manipulations, achieve romance with one or another character and even get to the so-called adult content like love lines in Dragon Age: Inquisition.

Below we will briefly describe which character you can start a relationship with and what approximately you need to do for this.

Cassandra

Peculiarities: she is fanatical about religion, so reproaches for this should be avoided. Teasing remarks and jabs are best. You will need to wait quite a bit before this character agrees to a romantic relationship. Naturally, nothing will happen if you do not complete the romantic task with flowers and romance.

Dorian

Preferences: Exclusively men.

Previously, there were no such precedents, but now we see the first magician in the game with a completely unconventional orientation. Questionable entertainment, but if you really want to have fun, then there is this option to choose from.

Make jokes, emphasize his courage, complete the side quest and get what you wanted.

Blakewall

A stern Gray Warden who can be found in the Hinterlands and accepted into the team. By the way, you can flirt almost immediately, and thus lure him to you, to the Inquisition.

The character is very trusting and easily has nice conversations with ladies who have not paid attention to him for a long time.

Sera

Preferences: Women only.

Another character who received an exclusively gay character. She has a great sense of humor, but inappropriate behavior and an extremely strange style.

You can start by telling her that you like her and then continue chatting with her from time to time in the Vault Tavern. The more you communicate with her, the more the character will reveal herself on the other side.

Preferences - All genders and races;

This is a skilled warrior and spy who, for the sake of a good cause, is ready for any experiments. By starting a romance with him, you will learn that intimacy for the Qunari is something simply necessary purely for physical needs, rather than for feelings.

For him to show interest in you, you will have to persist for a very long time and try to appeal to something vaguely similar to romance.

Solas

Preferences - Exclusively elves.

This character is only interested in representatives of his own family. Moreover, to win the heart of a Shadow specialist you will need to put in a lot of effort.

To achieve success, support him and be interested in his preferences, support free magicians and lay flowers on Dalish shrines.

Cullen

Preferences - Exclusively elves or human women.

A character with whom it will be quite easy to flirt - you yourself will not understand how at some point a romantic relationship will begin between the characters.

Josephine

Preferences - All genders and races.

There are quite a few options for flirting with her, so starting a relationship will be quite easy. The character has a playful nature and with the help of a sharp mind and diplomacy you can achieve quite good results.

You will not be able to have romantic relationships with other companions and non-companions for one reason or another.

Everyone has probably already become familiar with the fact that in games as a couple, dialogue options can arise that can lead to romantic/love relationships/lines with other characters. The game was no exception! Here you can now flirt and raise the level of a certain “availability”. This guide/walkthrough was written to make it easier for you to complete the love story for a certain hero and achieve success.

In order for your new relationship to start successfully, you need to first consider whether there are opportunities for flirting. If there is, then you need to gradually increase your rating, simultaneously opening the path to a more serious relationship, which in turn gives something more.

In addition, your main character will be able to complete the task of the Inner Circle - this includes tasks/quests/missions of your party members/comrades-in-arms. In addition, you need to consider your gender and race, since not all characters may be available to you when choosing your race and gender.

Cassandra

Only a man can have an affair with her, but of absolutely any race! As with the others, you just need to lay the foundation in the relationship - a little flirting. To increase the pace of the relationship, perform appropriate tasks with her direct participation.

In addition, you can ask Varric to do one useful service, or rather write a new edition of Swords and Shields, which will serve as part of the task (a gift for Cassandra). In addition, at one point she will tell you in Skyhold that your relationship cannot lead to anything, but do not despair and continue to put pressure on her. Soon she will still come to meet you.

Remember that if you have a relationship with Cassandra, then you will not be able to form relationships with other characters. To start a relationship with another character, you will first have to break up with Cassandra and then just start a new romance.

Solas

Only an elf girl can have an affair with Solas. Once you get a little rating from Solas, when you arrive at Skyhold, just kiss him. Shortly after this point, he will ask you to release his spirit without any killing during the battle. If you do this, then you will increase your rating, if not, then the romance will end there.

If you managed to do everything successfully, then you and Solas will begin a serious relationship. But for the final stage of the novel you will have to complete the task.

Sulfur

Only a girl of any race can hook up with her. There is a slight exception with this character. There is a chance that Qunari will be able to have an affair with her - the chance is much greater than people and dwarves.

If you have any connections with other heroes, then you will have to end the relationship with the others and switch to her. Once you complete all the specified tasks, then you will have to make sure that all topics are closed, after which you will reach the final moment.

Blackwall

Absolutely any girl can hook up with him. This character is quite simple and straightforward in relationships that relate to flirting. You will be able to express all your feelings to him after you destroy the Shelter, but he will tell you that now is not the best time for this. In order for him to finally succumb to you, you must first complete all the tasks that concern him and at the same time increase his rating. Soon he will call you to the territory of the Storm Coast as a task for a gift.

After completing his own line, he will leave the Skyhold fortress, but the task will be completed. You will either send him to the Gray Wardens, or ask him to choose his own path. If he remains in the Inquisition, then you can reach the end in your relationship with him.

Iron Bull

This character will be available to absolutely everyone. You just need to flirt with him and in the end, you and he will end up in your chambers and have the opportunity to make love. After that, he will discuss some “rules” with you.

He will ask you to get a medallion that is made from a dragon's tooth. Here you will have to find the dragon, then kill it and make a medallion from the extracted resources.

Dorian

A man of any race can hook up with Dorian. You can lay the foundation in a relationship only by following its storyline. After that, all you have to do is talk to him about your interest in him and start playing tricks.

Soon Leliana will call you and talk about one task. You will have to leave Poncard alive, otherwise your relationship with Dorian will go nowhere. After you complete the task, talk to him in Skyhold and then he will invite you to go to your chambers for the final moment. If you break up with him, there will be no negative aspects to it.

Cullen

To start a relationship with Cullen, you need to be an elf girl or a human. If you want to hook up with him, you will first have to cut off all the existing ones. And remember that you cannot discuss Lyrium with him; because of him, all relationships are broken. You can't do this even in the middle of a relationship.

Josephine

The only character who has no restrictions! The most liberal girl when it comes to matters of romance. To start building a relationship with her, you just need to talk to her in Skyhold and start flirting a little. Move forward with your relationship until Leliana asks you who you are interested in. After this, you can finally begin your romance with Josephine.

Dragon Age: Origins - FAQ: Companions ​

• Talk to Leliana about her life in the monastery and express your admiration for her beauty. Say that all the novices in the monastery pale in comparison with her
• After completing the quest with Marjolaine, talk to Leliana at the camp. Ask her how she feels after what happened. Next, say that you understand what she is talking about. And then say that people change over time. If at the end of the dialogue Leliana noticed that you look like Marjoline, then this will be the beginning of your romantic relationship.

With whom to build and how to develop romantic relationships?

There are several love lines available in the game. The opportunity to begin a romantic relationship with companions appears with a sufficient level of affection and respect. Compliments, flirting, intimate conversations with companions in a common camp, where the entire squad gathers between missions, and correctly structured dialogues work wonders. For the time being, you can stay with several partners at once, but there will definitely come a time when you have to choose. The transition to a new level of relationship occurs most often after completing personal tasks of companions-lovers. True, there are exceptions: with due diligence, rapprochement occurs many times faster, and there is enough goodwill to move straight from kissing to business, without performing personal tasks. If you lose interest, you can break up with your companion and turn your attention to other potential partners. The breakdown of a relationship leads to a decrease in trust, which can be restored through actions or gifts. It is impossible to renew previously broken love relationships; companions take issues of fidelity very seriously and do not forgive stabs in the back.

Companions available for relationships in the game:

Female: Alistair (First Knight achievement).
Male: Morrigan (Achievement "The Witch Without Mind").
Both genders: Leliana (achievement "Wine, Ballad, Woman"), Zevran (achievement "Careless Lover").

For love relationships with all companions in the game, the achievement “The Rake” is awarded (all completions are taken into account). You can get it already during the second playthrough, if love lines with all possible partners were started and completed both times. To do this, games are played by characters of different genders. Morrigan is considered the most compliant in Dragon Age: Origins; points of contact are found very quickly with her. Zevran left not far from her; his line of work in Antiva taught him to be very flexible in matters of love (the end justifies the means). It will take a little longer to tinker with Alistair and Leliana, but they will eventually end up in bed opposite the fire.

Alistair Therin

Alistair– romantic interest for a female Guardian. He doesn't take relationships as something easy. There are many ways to romance him through dialogue. Give him compliments, tell him that you like him, in general, everything except ridicule of him will help to win him over. If you offer him a relationship to a sufficient level of approval, he may reject it due to his inexperience, saying that he cannot take such things so easily. Continuing to offer beyond this point will result in loss of approval. If you continue to earn friendship points, he will invite the heroine to his tent. He likes to be loved and desired, and sometimes responds with a hint of thriftiness, but he does not like to be laughed at over intimacy.
Note: Even if you have high approval and if he is hardened, you will have to complete one of the main quests before asking him to spend the night with the heroine.
A clear sign that Alistair is interested in the Guardian as a woman will be a gift - a rose. You can accept it or not. If Alistair has high approval and high approval from Zevran or Leliana (adoration or love), the next time he talks to him, Alistair will force him to choose between them.

If Alistair becomes king, the relationship will end unless the Guardian is of noble birth and Alistair is toughened up. Even if he is hardened, the relationship will end if the Guardian spares Loghain or chooses the wrong dialogue lines after the Landsmeet. Select the line "No one can force a king to do anything he doesn't want to do" to convince Alistair to continue the relationship. However, even if Alistair broke up with the Guardian, he retains tender feelings for her, although he tries to avoid talking about it in dialogues with the Guardian and other party members.

Note: A noble girl must use persuasion to marry Alistair when he chooses between her and Anora at the Landsmeet, although she does not need to be in a relationship with him or even have high approval. With Alistair hardened, this option becomes available if the Warden refused Riordan's offer to make Loghain a Gray Warden; if the Guardian supported this idea, then the toughened Alistair becomes king and executes Loghain, this will cancel the dialogue where he will have to choose between Alistair and Anora and will give the opportunity to choose to rule with him.

If the Guardian did not agree to Morrigan’s proposal and took Alistair to battle with the Archdemon, then he will sacrifice himself even if he broke up with the Guardian on his own initiative.

If the Guardian Girl slept with Alistair, toughening him up during his personal quest, and his approval is high enough, he may agree to be third with Isabela on the ship.

During the Darkspawn Chronicles DLC, if you look at the codex page about Leliana, you will find a mention of her being Alistair's lover. (Actually, if there is a romance with Alistair, and Leliana is a friend of the Guardian (somewhere around 45-50), then there may be a dialogue between Leliana and the Guardian that begins with Leliana saying “I think Alistair is crazy about you.” With a certain answer, Leliana openly states to the Guardian that if the Guardian had not made an attempt to improve relations with Alistair, then Leliana would have done this.) However, there are no hints of this in Dragon Age: Origins, even if the Guardian is not in the novel with them.

If Alistair's approval reaches a high point, Wynn will bring up the subject, saying that she does not approve of such a relationship and she does not want Alistair to suffer. He will also try to give a fascinating lecture on the topic “Where do children come from.”

Zevran Arannay

Master of Seduction(according to his own statement), Zevran will openly flirt with the Guardian, and with some other companions too, even if just as a joke. He is not too picky and clearly lowers his demands, which makes it easier to start a romance with the Guardian, regardless of gender. Almost immediately after joining the team, he shows sympathy for the Guardian, and he can reciprocate.

Getting into Zevran's location is quite simple. He loves playful hints and inquiries about his adventures, and as long as the Guardian accepts his sexual past for granted, the romance will continue. He can be asked to keep the Guardian company in the tent even at the “Interest” level, to which he will gladly agree. After this, Zevran explains that he does not hold the character back, and it is his choice whether their night will be an isolated incident or the connection will continue. Conversely, if Zevran has high approval and the Guardian has not yet offered to sleep with him, he will offer his company for the night. If you then ask Zevran about love, this will lead to a loss of influence, however, if you tell him that it was just for one night, this will lead to a significantly greater loss and the end of the relationship. The best option is to say "I'm fine with that." Zevran is as faithful in relationships as other partners, although he recklessly flirts with other characters.

Regardless of the level of approval, Zevran's attitude will not change to "love" until the Landsmeet is convened. The group will encounter (and kill) Zevran's old friend, Taliesen, and Zevran will gain respite from the Ravens' pursuit.

In gratitude, he offers the Guardian his earring upon his return to camp. After this, the elf will refuse to go to the tent. If you refuse the first offer of an earring, then during a conversation on a personal topic (when the elf admits that he is confused by his feelings), Zevran can offer it again as a “token of... mmm... sympathy.” Moreover, you can get the elf to make suggestions in this conversation by choosing certain lines. However, if you accept the earring only a second time, it will not appear in your inventory, this is a bug. If the Guardian responds that “the proposal is too much,” the relationship will end.

Leliana is a possible romantic interest for both male and female Guardians. The Guardian's first opportunity to kiss her occurs when her approval reaches Adoration (71 or higher) and she initiates a camp conversation that begins with “I like the night at camp. The night always looks more peaceful, I think. Safer" . However, she will not be interested in the tent and will only sleep with the Guardian if she is in love with him/her. She will not fall in love with the Guardian until her personal quest is completed and her approval reaches 91 or higher. To increase her approval, talk a lot, listen to what she tells you, be supportive, avoid criticism when she talks about the Creator, give meaningful gifts, do good deeds while she is in the group, and avoid evil acts (or at least not take her to the group when you do them).

Note: sometimes the romance doesn't start even with 100% approval. The nature of this phenomenon is unknown.

Note: this happens due to a bug if the relationship with her develops too quickly due to gifts. The personal quest also becomes unavailable.

Note: the personal quest was completed, but the relationship did not develop.
In order for the quest to become available, you will have to part with Leliana, but after completing the quest, the romance can be resumed and even completed, for this you need to choose the right lines in the conversation about Marjolaine.

If for some reason you missed the opportunity to start a romance, another attempt will appear after completing the quest with Marjolaine. Ask her how she feels after the whole experience, agree that you know what she means after her answer, and in the subsequent conversation, say that people change over time. If Leliana eventually notices that you remind her of Marjolaine, you are on the right track.
If for some reason you did not talk to Leliana about her past and reached +100 relationship with her, thereby losing the opportunity to complete her personal quest, it is possible to artificially set the conditions for the trigger to go off. To do this, you need to turn on the console and enter runscript zz_addapproval 9 -30() and then talk to Leliana in the camp, the desired replica will appear in the list, as well as the opportunity to complete Leliana’s quest. Then her attitude can be restored again through the console or with gifts.

If you play as a male Guardian and decide to arrange a grand end for yourself by planning to marry Anora, but at the same time keep Leliana “to yourself,” then simply do not talk to her until the epilogue and coronation. If you talk to her before this, she will say that she respects Anora too much and will refuse to stay with the Guardian. And in a conversation just before the coronation, she will say that life is already too short, and will remain the mistress of the Gray Guardian. Don't forget to tighten it up.

Note: Sometimes, regardless of the relationship with Leliana, if her approval is high enough, a romance will begin without the Guardian noticing. This causes current love interests to question the Guardian's relationship with Leliana and vice versa.

Morrigan

Let's move on to the most delicious! - Morrigan!

Morrigan is perhaps the hardest character to please when compared to other romantic interests for a male Guardian. However, she is the easiest to sleep with after just reaching 51 approval points. She will enjoy most of the random gifts found early in the game, but will disapprove of almost all of the Guardian's good deeds.

To successfully romance Morrigan, the player must either do some bad deeds or do good deeds while Morrigan is not in the party, as a negative outcome will be more common than a decrease in Leliana, Alistair, and Wynn's approval. When engaging in conversation with her, it is important to remember that Morrigan values ​​strength more than anything else. To get her approval, you will have to agree with her philosophy of “survival of the fittest” once. She despises everything related to love and compassion. If the Guardian is pursuing romance with both her and any other companion (Zevran or Leliana), she will start a conversation with the Guardian and force her to choose. This will end the romance with the rejected companion and lower their approval slightly, although Leliana and/or Zevran can give the Guardian an ultimatum in the same way that Morrigan does. Morrigan eventually gives the Guardian a unique ring during his affair with her. The ring is a connection between two people.

After completing the quest "Flemeth's Grimoire", she will begin to fear her love for him, which will trigger a dialogue about love if her approval is high enough. There is a possibility of her approval dropping during a conversation or a breakup until the right lines are chosen.

At the end of the game, the epilogue will read that “then came the night when he was sure that she was thinking about him... somewhere. She felt regret and sadness. But the ring didn’t say anything else.” There is no happy epilogue with Morrigan. She will leave the group immediately after the final battle, regardless of her approval. However, the romance can be continued and ended happily depending on your choices in Origins and the conversation during the Witch Hunt DLC. As a result, Morrigan and the Guardian kiss and pass through Eluvian together.

Note: Entering into an affair with Morrigan will trigger a "motherly conversation" with Wynn, in which she will advise you to leave her. If you refuse to end your romance with Morrigan, then after the relationship with Morrigan is listed as "love", Wynn will apologize.

If the Guardian slept with Morrigan in the camp and refused her proposal at Redcliffe Castle, the epilogue will say that she is expecting a child, although the ritual was not performed. This is not a bug, but also a variant of the Morrigan epilogue. This is a hint that she unexpectedly became pregnant until the day before the final battle.

If the Guardian broke up with Morrigan when she asks for it, at the gates of Denerim she will call the Guardian "my love" (even if she is just friends) and the epilogue will write about regret and sadness (even if the Guardian began another romance). It's strange that even if the ring is destroyed, you still get an epilogue about the ring.

Bugs/Cheats

If desired, Morrigan's +100 approval can be obtained almost immediately after her appearance in the squad - in Lothering. The method is guaranteed to work when playing as a MAG (patch 1.05 and any earlier), with one point in the influence skill and a starting strength indicator. (theoretically possible with other classes, but a low strength indicator is required)
We arrive in Lothering, pass the robbers, go to Stan's cage. We talk to him and find out about the reverend mother. We exclude ALL companions from the group, except Morrigan. We go to the church, there we find the Reverend Mother (straight and to the right). We tell her about the Qunari in the cage, and use INTERMINATION, demanding to give up the key or life. Morrigan rejoices, she loves threats to the priests (+4), and the Reverend Mother refuses to give up the key (unsuccessful intimidation will only happen if the strength indicator is low enough, otherwise she will give up the key). After unsuccessful intimidation, this conversation can be repeated again and again, each time receiving Morrigan's approval (the method also works on the Steam version).
In Orzammar, the merchant Garin has a special gift for Morrigan that gives approval (+20) - a Golden Mirror. It cannot be given to other companions. If you give Morrigan a mirror after breaking up with her, you can have an affair with both her and Leliana at the same time.

Throughout the Dragon Age series, one of the main components of the game was love relationships. Dragon Age Inquisition also does not deviate from the ideals of its older brothers. Let's start with the fact that gifts have been removed from the DAI and relationships can only be improved with the help of dialogues and some quest choices (kill/keep alive). Each character has his own point of view and only considers it the only correct one. If you do as he wants, the hero will approve of your decision, otherwise he will condemn you.
