Restored conversations with Fletcher

There are quite a few of them, the text is under the cut.

If Rook is Antivan Crow Fletcher: Hello, Rook. Glad to see you in the Diamond. You keep Viago on his toes.

Fletcher: Feels good to see a friend of the Crows fighting back. I'll sell whatever you need. Fletcher: I keep the Crows well-stocked. You're welcome to it.

Fletcher: And anyone fighting the Antaam is a welcome customer here. Fletcher: I'm not rehanging my house banner until we really start driving them out of Treviso.

Rook: What was that you said about hanging your house banner?

If Rook is Antivan Crow Fletcher: You know how we Crows are about heraldry and a proper woven history.

Fletcher: Crow houses take pride in heraldry. We like a good woven history.

Fletcher: Unfortunately, the first step in the occupation was tearing down symbols. The Antaam burned our banners. Fletcher: I'm not putting my house banner back up until we really start taking our city back. Fletcher: They're not curtains. Hanging one means something.

Rook: You sure you have extra to sell? I don't want to use up limited supplies. Fletcher: Don't worry, I get the basics delivered straight to the people. We have runners in the alleys. Fletcher: The stuff I sell here isn't for the general public. You could say it's meant for the Antaam, in a round bout way.

Rook: How are you getting weapons past the Antaam? Fletcher: The same way you get a river past a mountain: I find cracks, and I keep moving. Fletcher: It could be harder, I'll give them that. The Butcher could burn the walls to the ground. Fletcher: I'd hardly call him "gentle," but he wants the city intact for some reason.

Rook: How's business? Fletcher: As good as can be expected with the Antaam choking my shipments. They want us locked down and hungry. Fletcher: There's a few of us out there keeping people fed... but it's rough.

If A Slow Poison quest is completed

Rook: Keeping busy, Fletcher? Fletcher: Word is you killed the Butcher's poisoner right under his nose. You're a legend. Fletcher: I put my house banner back up because of you. We're open for business and ready to fight back.

Rook: You hear what happened to the Antaam poisoner? Ever seen that before? Fletcher: Antaam becoming monsters? New to me. Physically, anyway. Fletcher: I'll keep an eye on what they ship in, but if that happened because of the gods, I don't know what to tell you. Fletcher: Besides "Thanks for killing it."

Rook: Hey, Fletcher. Any idea where the poisoner was getting his supplies? Fletcher: Antaam mixtures are so secret, and their regular supplies are so weird… Who knows what part of their shipments was the poison? Fletcher: I wish I could cut them off from everything, but there's always some asshole willing to make a profit in wartime.

Rook: Keeping your supplies up, Fletcher? Fletcher: Doing my best. Focusing on keeping Heir stocked so she can train the fledglings. Fletcher: It's not easy. Jacobus keeps breaking things. Kid's angry to the core. Fletcher: Can't say I blame him.

Rook: How long have you been supplying Heir and her trainees? Fletcher: I've sold to three Heirs. Never asked where they come from, or why they have the same name. Fletcher: I prefer to keep my customers, and let them keep their secrets.

If Rook saved Treviso

Rook: Heard about the dragon fight? Fletcher: Heard about it, and heard it directly. It echoed across the city when it dropped. Fletcher: Honestly, I don't know how you still have enemies to fight. Who hears you chased off a dragon and says, "I bet I can take 'em"?

If For the Love of Treviso quest is completed

Rook: Heard the news, I take it? Fletcher: That you put down the Butcher, and in his shadow was a traitor? That's all anyone is talking about. Fletcher: Stock up, Rook. No way I'm letting Ivenci take up where the Butcher left off.

Rook: I see Neri and Noa hung the de Acutis banner next to yours.

If Rook is Antivan Crow Fletcher: You know our houses have history. Blood both good and bad.

Fletcher: I wouldn't have always welcomed it. Crow houses don't always get along.

Fletcher: Nothing like a common enemy to bring the families together.

Fletcher: Keep an eye on Jacobus, Rook. Fletcher: Ivenci's betrayal has him angrier than ever. I can't blame him, but he's got to learn to control it. Fletcher: Be a shame to see that kid lose himself.

Rook: Any news, Fletcher? Fletcher: Ivenci is doing their best to kiss up to the Antaam. Shipping in all kinds of strange goods. Fletcher: Brings a lot of traffic to the docks, though. It actually makes it easier for me to smuggle goods in. Fletcher: The only good thing Ivenci's responsible for, far as I'm concerned.

Fletcher: Be a proud day if one of my toys helps bring down the governor. Rook: Working on it. Fletcher: I'm patient. And you're a safe bet.

If A Time to Kill quest is completed

Rook: Good days ahead, Fletcher? Fletcher: You're always welcome here, Rook. You've cleared the way for Treviso to be free. Fletcher: Of course, with the Antaam still in the streets like rats of unusual size, I'll keep up a booming business. Fletcher: But one day, I'll close up shop for the right reasons.

Rook: Any news, Fletcher? Fletcher: I'm going over Antaam manifests. I want to make sure we spot any of those poison ingredients if they show up again. Fletcher: We're not taking any risks. The Antaam that are left have to fight on our terms.

Rook: Is the Egrativi banner your work, Fletcher? Fletcher: I have talented people. Fast work, wasn't it? Fletcher: In truth? A new house was inevitable, what with all the loss of the occupation. Fletcher: My weavers started it a while ago. Keeping themselves busy with hope.

Fletcher: Stocking up before clearing out more Antaam? Rook: You'd be my first stop. Fletcher: Glad to hear it. You're very good for business. Fletcher: Everyone wants to visit Rook's favorite store in the Diamond. Side note: Reference to Shepard's favorite store on the Citadel in Mass Effect

Fletcher: Keep an eye on Jacobus, Rook. Rook: Still have concerns? Fletcher: No, no, I'm telling that to everyone. His house is destined to rival the best of us.

Fletcher: Have you seen Teia and Viago now? Haven't seen that look in years.

If Rook is Antivan Crow Rook: They're "on-again" again. Who knows how long it lasts this time? Fletcher: I think it's a portent of good tidings. Like hints of a good harvest. Or a Tuesday.

Rook: Saving Treviso seems to have brought them together. Fletcher: Oh, I think it'd happen, regardless. Their repeating history never seems too far away.

First meeting with the Inquisitor - Cut content

In the game, meetings with the Inquisitor before Act 3 takes place in a calm atmosphere in the Cobbled Swan. However, in one of the earlier versions, the first meeting was supposed to be interrupted because there was an assassination attempt on the Inquisitor. I guess that's why it used to be possible to choose a class for the Inquisitor. If the character was supposed to participate in combat, and this was reflected in a cutscene or gameplay. The game still has this option, it's just disabled. By default, DAtV thinks the Inquisitor is a warrior, though it doesn't affect anything.

It is unknown whether this scene was implemented in the game and then removed, because there is no voice acting or animation, only lines in the script that I sorted manually. Maybe it was one of the drafts.

- italics mine

- Harding and Rook arrive at the Cobbled Swan

Harding: Come on, it doesn't have to be bad news every time we come here. Rook: I just don't see Morrigan buying me drinks. Rook: Why can't I get her riddles in the comfort of home? Solas's home. No, screw it. My home.

- The Inquisitor appears

The Inquisitor: How are you, Lace? Harding: You can't be here! He's/She's supposed to be keeping a low profile! For political reasons! Rook: Who can't be here?

- Somewhere here there is an attack, a fight, after which the Inquisitor apparently goes behind the bar

The Inquisitor: Can I get you something? Harding: Applesauce. Rook: When does the Swan even open? The Inquisitor: Today? It opens when I say. Rook: If the Swan burns down, good luck explaining it to Neve.

The Inquisitor: I won't be here long. Rook: Long enough for an assassination attempt against you! Morrigan: Three attempts thus far. The Inquisitor: Raise just one army, and you draw assassins like flies the rest of your life.

Option: Assassins? Rook: Do I know these assassins, or did you bring your own? The Inquisitor: What do you think, Lace? Harding: The people who come after you don't risk themselves. Harding: Mercenaries? To keep you occupied? You're ruffling nobles again.

Option: Any more famous friends? Rook: Anyone else coming to visit? A teyrn you went to scout school with? Rook: These pawns aren't likely to risk their own lives for a mere political assassination. Rook: Next you'll tell me you're drinking buddies with the Divine. Harding: Well, there's this one person I know... Turns out he's an elven god. Rook: Point taken.

Option: Introductions? Rook: This a friend, I hope? I'm Rook. You are?

Option: Confused! Rook: Okay, feeling a little left out. Should I know you?

Option: I don't like surprises. Rook: Harding knows you? I need a name.

The Inquisitor: That's fair. I'm Harding's old boss. Partner, really. I did what you did, before you started doing it better. Morrigan: Eyes upon the hourglass, Inquisitor.

- It seems Morrigan is leaving

Option: The Inquisitor? Here? Rook: Shouldn't you be in Orlais doing whatever it is official servants of the Divine do? The Inquisitor: I'm currently stopping two kings and an empress from acting like Antaam and burning the north. The Inquisitor: Basically, I'm offstage trying to keep people out of your way. The Inquisitor: Kept all eyes on me.

Option: You here to take over? Rook: So, you're the Inquisitor. And you're here. And everyone listens to you, even Morrigan. Are you taking over? The Inquisitor: No, I'd attract too much attention. But that's also how I can help. The Inquisitor: All eyes on me. I'm the distraction because I can't do what you can do.

The Inquisitor: But you, Rook, will get the real work done.

The Inquisitor: Remember the last day of the Inquisition, Lace? Harding: Disbanded/Underground! To avoid attention? Your idea, remember? The Inquisitor: That is exactly why I stepped aside, and why I won't be staying.

The Inquisitor: The Inquisition was a long time ago. When the sky was breached, it became a symbol that rallied nations. The Inquisitor: But gods are very good at manipulating symbols. Harding: So we're out here with new people, and the Inquisitor... should not be here.

Option: Just tell me why you're here. Rook: If you're not here to take over, why are you here?

Option: So: Why here, why now? Rook: All right, you were in charge, and now you're not. But you're still here.

The Inquisitor: Varric found the best people for your job, not mine. It matters to me that you prove him right.

Rook: Should I ask why? I mean, I guess I just did. The Inquisitor: One, so you can ignore the bleating of leaders you've never heard of and get things done. The Inquisitor: And two, I'm another person who knew Solas.

- Solavellan Option: How close? Rook: "Knew" knew, or "knew" knew? The Inquisitor: Did you imagine those sounded different? Rook: Wasn't it? The Inquisitor: It really wasn't. Rook: It's in the lean.

Option: Do I have a choice? Rook: Not sure I get a vote about that. The Inquisitor: You're in charge. Do what's best for your team.

Option: I don't need more advice. Rook: I hope you've got something more than advice. The Inquisitor: Rook, this is your time. Your team.

Option: I could use any insights. Rook: Experience dealing with gods is something I could use. The Inquisitor: You have more than anyone at this point. And a good team of your own.

The Inquisitor: Enjoy this time, Rook. Building a team that becomes family. Don't let it get complicated.

Option: The world is complicated. Rook: I think the gods have shown just how complicated things really are. The Inquisitor: All the more reason to show them how simple friendships make all their fearsome armies a waste of time.

Option: Are we enough? Rook: We're facing gods. Is a bunch of misfits enough? The Inquisitor: You'd be surprised. And so will every tyrant who thinks an army of fear is stronger than the bonds of a few.

The Inquisitor: Your friends, your team—that's how you win.

The Inquisitor: You want to know how a small group of friends can face down tyrants and their armies built of fear? The Inquisitor: I built a team once. Filled it with the best. But one... wasn't what he seemed.

The Inquisitor: And... Solas. He is... in your head? Rook: I was kinda hoping Solas being "in here" wasn't getting around.

The Inquisitor: Are you certain that your mind is your own? Rook: Far as I know, he didn't try to control me. All he did was give ominous warnings.

The Inquisitor: I'm invested in preventing the harm of his actions. Maybe even to him. Rook: You're showing more care than he did.

The Inquisitor: Stopping him is a mission for many. Rook: Not at all comforting.

- Solavellan The Inquisitor: We have history. Rook: An immortal is nothing but history. The Inquisitor: No. We have... history. Rook: Oh. Ohhh.

Option: He's been helpful so far. Rook: For all that Solas has done, he's been true to his word. The Inquisitor: His help can be... complicated.

Option: Always good to have a plan B. Rook: I'm not saying I expect our relationship to go bad, but... it's good to have an out.

Option: Good, I don't trust him. Rook: I'll take any leverage. He's the god of lies. Lies. Harding: Like my ma always says, they don't call it the Frostback Mountains because it's warm there. Rook: Like I'd go against Harding's ma.

The Inquisitor: I know one place you can look.

- Shows a wolf statuette

Harding: A wolf? It seems... familiar? Like entering the Lighthouse. Rook: Where did you find it? The Inquisitor: We all leave our marks on the world, but when you're as powerful as Solas and... as affected by the past, those marks linger. The Inquisitor: It's not the first time I've stumbled onto something of his.

- Solavellan The Inquisitor: Also not the first time I've had to let it go.

Rook: I think it's a moment, a memory. Maybe it ties into the Lighthouse.

- Solavellan The Inquisitor: That's why it's better if you decide how to use this.

The Inquisitor: It's up to you what you do with it. After all, Solas isn't in my head. Rook: Wow. Thanks, Solas.

- Then there is another attack and Morrigan returns

The Inquisitor: Morrigan? Word from the borders? Morrigan: You gave a speech, and every noble in Thedas blinked. The Inquisitor: Nobility come pre-ruffled. Morrigan: Two banns hold near Denerim. The Orlesians are discussing a new Exalted March. Nations are poised, as nations are wont to be. Morrigan: None dare move, until you do. Rook: It's really hard to delay Orlesians. Did they make seasonal hats? The Inquisitor: They made hats.

Morrigan: That was the fifth attempt on your life since you arrived, Inquisitor. 'Tis time for you to leave this place. Rook: Fifth? What happened to number four? Morrigan: I encouraged them not to interrupt.

The Inquisitor: (Sighs.) Stay too long, I attract... everything. I don't fear for me, but...

- If the Inquisitor romanced someone Morrigan: Josephine happened. Even mercenaries quiver before grand imperial politics. Morrigan: Sera happened. Best not keep her waiting. Morrigan: Cullen happened. Best not keep him waiting. Morrigan: Thomas Rainier happened. Best not keep him waiting. Morrigan: Cassandra happened. Best not keep her waiting. Morrigan: The Iron Bull happened. Best not keep him waiting. Morrigan: Dorian happened. Best not keep him waiting.

Morrigan: Tis time to go, Inquisitor.

- Solavellan The Inquisitor: Tell Solas... Actually? Don't tell him anything. Not yet. Rook: Your "history" with Solas doesn't sound like history. The Inquisitor: It's complicated.

The Inquisitor: Whatever you choose to do with that memory, trust the people around you. Rook: It's a risk, being that open. The Inquisitor: It's a strength. The gods have legions of followers... The Inquisitor: They don't have friends.

The Inquisitor: Whatever it is, hold on to it. His help... often comes with conditions. The Inquisitor: I see how you've built a good team. And how you can keep him off-balance.

The Inquisitor: So says the Inquisitor, Herald of Andraste. Doves fly, legions bow, and whatever else the history books want.

Dragon Age: The VeilGuard - Dragons Pt. 1

Seartooth Vyrantus

Corius The Icetalon

by Sergio Brotons, Manuel Robles

[merrinla]

In the text file, you can find an alternative intro where Varric mentions the choices made in the character creator. Except for the choice of who drank from the Well of Sorrows. Although it might have been some interactive comic witch choices like ME: Genesis.

Everyone wants to know about the Inquisition. The heroes it forged, the monsters they stopped. The Inquisition sprang up out of hope and desperation. Just a handful of us at first. And by the end, we'd changed the world. It wasn't exactly voluntary, but I was with the Inquisition. The stories from those days have stories of their own. The Inquisitor was handed a little power and a lot of problems. Me, I would've cracked. But he/she held on. While the Inquisitor may have been busy keeping the world from crumbling, it wasn't all doom and gloom. The rumors are true. He/She fell in love. From what I've heard, the relationship's still going strong. But from what I hear, that romance ended in heartbreak. (Solavellan or dead LI?) The Well of Sorrows was an ancient, magic reservoir of elven knowledge in a temple of weird shit. The Inquisitor decided to drink from it himself/herself. A witch by the name of Morrigan ended up drinking from it. The Inquisitor made some good friends, and gained some interesting enemies. The Inquisitor is the last person alive to have seen Solas. He/She wants to save Solas from himself. He/She swore to stop him, no matter what. Eventually, the big kingdoms started accusing the Inquisition of being too big, too easily manipulated. As a result, it got absorbed into the Chantry. As so much does. We disbanded. Everyone went their own way. This'll be just legends and tavern songs one day. But I'm proud of what the Inquisition stood for, and stood against. There's times when it seems like the whole world's working against you. Only reason I'm alive today? Always had someone who had my back. The new kid? Think I met him/her/them six months ago. Humans have a reputation for being clever, curious, resourceful. I know a few who've earned it. The elves are due for a comeback. And who doesn't love a good underdog story? People like to say that dwarves are nothing but trouble. And that's true. We are. Fun, though. Qunari tend to draw attention, but some stand out in the crowd more than others. Being good in the thick of trouble's a surprisingly adaptable skill. Some people make the most of being light on their feet. Magic can be the cause of, or the solution to, an awful lot of problems. The Shadow Dragons. True to the name, they move fast, strike hard, and don't back down from a fight. The Crows are as deadly as they are flashy. In the business of murder, there's no point in false modesty. The Grey Wardens have thrown themselves into danger over and over. If the world believes in heroes, it's because of them. The Veil Jumpers risk some of the weirdest magic I've seen—and that's saying a lot—to keep reality from coming apart. The Lords of Fortune are great at parties, great at fights, and great at turning the one into the other. The Mourn Watch are a mysterious bunch, but no one alive—maybe even dead—knows more about necromancy. Rook's definitely the right man/woman/person for the job.

Side note. If you check in the save editor (the easiest way) what Inquisition choices were made, you can see there is a property "Keep_WellOfSorrows" and by default its value 1, which means that Morrigan drank from the Well. It's unimplement it in the game, ofc.
